When the Investigation Division 1 and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team of the Security Force Mobile Group arrived, they saw that the street in front of the police station had been cordoned off by a large area of ​​​​open space. Date Kou was directing passing vehicles and pedestrians to detour.

In the isolated open space, their old acquaintance Sakurai Izumi was sitting on the back of a man who had been beaten into a pig's head, smiling and waving at them: "This way, this way."

Officer Megure didn't dare to get close, and nervously called out, "Sakurai, where is the explosive?"

Koizumi stood up and pulled a paper bag out of the pig-headed man's arms: "Here, it's here."

Everyone was speechless for a moment. Is this considered human explosion prevention?

"laugh!"

The trainee from the explosive ordnance disposal team who came with the team burst into laughter.

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, wearing explosion-proof suits and carrying tools, walked over the cordon.

Matsuda Jinpei looked at the pig-headed man and then at Koizumi: "As expected of you."

Koizumi replied nonchalantly, "Thank you for the compliment."

She looked around and asked, "Why are there only two of you interns here this time? Your seniors are a little too unreliable."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said, "We didn't expect the mobile team to be so busy. We thought it would be a very quiet department."

Koizumi: ...

She didn't say much, but just moved closer to Matsuda Jinpei and watched his movements: "Slow down, slow down, tell me. I think there's still time."

She missed the last Zhu Fu Jingguang incident, so how could she let go of this learning opportunity that she finally came across?

Matsuda Jinpei looked up at her and said, "If you are not necessary, please move outside the cordon and take shelter."

Koizumi: ...

He grabbed Matsuda Jinpei's collar and dragged him away: "Hagiwara, you come here."

The people outside the cordon who were unaware of the situation were frightened by her action. They thought something unexpected had happened and started looking for shelter.

Matsuda Jinpei was pulled by her unexpectedly and staggered. He shouted angrily: "Hey, this is very dangerous!"

"I'm not blind. The pliers are still a long way off the line."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled helplessly, gestured a safe gesture to the people outside the cordon, squatted down and took over the bomb: "Pay attention to the fuse here..."

"You really helped her!"

"It's better than us helping her dismantle it later, right?"

Jinpei Matsuda stopped talking and watched the two people, one teaching seriously and the other learning seriously.

Obviously, these two interns were very reliable in the previous few times. They defused the bomb in less than three to five minutes. Why were they so slow today?

The policemen standing outside the cordon were all terrified and shouted to those inside to ask if there was any problem.

I can't explain to them that we are conducting on-site teaching here.

So Matsuda Jinpei could only make a safe gesture to them, lowered his head and watched Hagiwara Kenji's teaching, his hands involuntarily reaching into his pockets.

Koizumi suddenly turned his head and looked at him: "Can we see open flames at the bomb disposal site?"

When I saw you two smoking at the bomb disposal scene in the original book, I was eager to say this!

Matsuda Jinpei:......

He put his hands in his pockets and snorted.

Koizumi took the wire cutter from Hagiwara Kenji and cut the wire cleanly according to his instructions, muttering, "So this is what it feels like."

There is a time bomb in her system. She has used it so many times but has never defused it. Maybe she can take it out to practice?

Kenji Hagiwara stood up and put the defused bomb into an explosion-proof box, preparing to take it back and destroy it.

Koizumi watched his actions in silence, and suddenly asked, "...Will a bomb that has been dismantled explode again?"

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said, "How come?"

Matsuda Jinpei suddenly frowned: "No, it's still possible. If the criminal has a remote control... did you find the remote control device on the bomb just now?"

Hagiwara Kenji: “…Not really.”

Koizumi: “Maybe it’s better hidden?”

"The safest way is..."

The three of them simultaneously looked at the pig-headed man.

Matsuda Jinpei: "Did you search him?"

Koizumi: "No. I don't want to touch him."

So beating someone is not called touching?

Both of them looked at her speechlessly, and immediately gave the man a thorough body search, and actually found a remote control in his pocket.

Koizumi: "... In other words, if I hadn't put him on top of the bomb and threatened him with his own life, maybe he would have really detonated it early?"

Hagiwara Kenji took a deep breath and said, "It's possible. I haven't really considered this possibility."

Koizumi glanced at him.

It would be great if it could teach you a lesson.

The remote control was actually something she stuffed into the man's pocket when no one was around. It was the one in her storage space and it was impossible for it to be used to detonate the bomb.

She had already confirmed that there was no remote control sensor on the time bomb before she dared to sit on the man's back and wait for the police.

Otherwise, if she really met a fearless desperado, she would be really afraid that the other party would launch a one-for-one life-and-death explosion.

While Hagiwara and Matsuda were finishing up the work, Koizumi suddenly asked, "A surprise inspection. Do you have the amulet belts you were given?"

Matsuda Jinpei immediately asked sharply, "…So there is something wrong with that coin! What is it used for?"

Koizumi didn't say anything, and turned to look at Hagiwara: "Did you bring it?"

Through the consciousness link, she of course already knew that these two people did carry it, and she asked this question purely to make a deeper impression on them and remind them to pay attention to such things.

Hagiwara was not as stubborn as Matsuda Jinpei. When Koizumi asked, he patted his pocket and said with a smile, "I have it with me. So what is this thing used for?"

"It's for saving lives." Koizumi replied briefly and changed the subject. "By the way, you should have some professional books and notes on explosives, right? Can you give me a copy? I need it urgently."

Hagiwara Kenji replied nonchalantly: "Sure, but how can I give it to you?"

"Then I'll get it tomorrow night."

Hagiwara Kenji immediately understood that she wanted Kuroneko to go get them, and replied, "Okay, I'll prepare them in advance. But there are a lot of things, are you sure Kuroneko can carry them?"

Koizumi smiled: "No problem."

"You can have it come today."

"Not today. It has other work."

Matsuda Jinpei sneered: "This cat's schedule is quite full."

A very clear "grunt" sound.

Koizumi touched his stomach awkwardly and explained, "…I'm sorry, I haven't eaten since this morning."

As she spoke, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of chocolate.

Seeing the chocolate on this sensitive day, Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but look at her hand. Then they saw the man tear open the outer packaging, throw the chocolate into his mouth and eat it.

At this time, Officer Megure had already led his men across the cordon and walked over. He had the pig-headed man, who was already powerless to resist, taken away. He said helplessly, "Sakurai, why is it you again? This is the fourth time this month, right?"

"To be exact, this is the seventh explosion I have encountered since the beginning of January."

Officer Megure was shocked: "Have you ever encountered a similar incident before?"

Koizumi nodded. "Since the New Year's Horse Racing Meeting in January, there have been similar bombings. And almost all of them are committed in the same way. Officer Megure, don't you find it strange?"

Seeing that the three people were all in deep thought, Koizumi continued, "Think carefully, at least the four incidents this month all involved bombs placed in paper bags or boxes and left in public areas, right? Although the bombs are not very powerful, we cannot rule out the possibility that this is a tentative act by the mastermind behind the scenes. You'd better be vigilant and treat this as a serial bombing case."

Matsuda Jinpei keenly sensed that Koizumi was talking about something else: "Do you know something?"

I do know a little bit, but it is impossible for me to use the content related to the dark web as evidence to tell you.

Hearing the "buzz" sound, Koizumi took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and frowned.

"This is just my personal guess. If there is any new discovery, I will contact you. I have something else to do. I am leaving now."

Seeing Koizumi turned around and left without saying anything, Officer Megure shouted hurriedly: "Hey, Sakurai, take the statement!"

Koizumi: "Officer Date was there the whole time, ask him."

"Really, it's like this again."

Inspector Megure was helpless and turned to look at the two interns.

Jinpei Matsuda picked up the explosion-proof box and turned to leave.

Hagiwara Kenji: …

"I'll write the report and hand it in as soon as possible."

"Well, that's up to you."
