It's clearly a sunny day today, but it feels depressing everywhere.

Lin Xiaochen held a glass like an old cadre, standing in front of the window and looking at the street in the distance.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the cold wind sweeps the withered yellow leaves. The pedestrians on the street lower their heads and walk hurriedly, as if trying to escape the depressing atmosphere.

Inside the office, the police officers were sorting out case files or reports, all working in silence.

Lin Xiaochen sat back in his chair and placed the cup lightly on the table, making a soft "tapping" sound, as if it was knocking on his heart neither lightly nor heavily.

The small table was covered with a tall stack of files - which Lin Xiaochen had taken out from the archives room with great difficulty.

He has read it many times in the past few days, trying to find clues, but after searching for a long time, he still has no clue.

It's not like he hadn't thought about retrieving cargo information, but that would take up too much manpower and resources, and his superiors wouldn't allow him to do so without sufficient reasons.

Lin Xiaochen leaned back in his chair, blocked the light with his arms, and sighed deeply.

"Ding-ling-ling——" Lin Xiaochen's heart skipped a beat and his eyes followed the colleague who answered the phone.

The laziness on that person's face was replaced by a stiff seriousness, and he raised his voice in disbelief:

"Bombs were found in the Asai Villa District and the residential buildings in Kamiya Town on Tofu Heights."

Like water dropping into hot oil, the office suddenly became restless.

Looking at the police officers rushing out, Lin Xiaochen was left behind in an instant.

The second boot finally fell, but Lin Xiaochen's heart suddenly felt empty.

Asai villa area.

Kenji Hagiwara took off his stuffy protective suit and squatted in front of the bomb to smoke. The police officers behind him had already begun arranging for the evacuation of the crowd.

"Captain Hagiwara." The team member came to report, "All residents have been evacuated."

"Okay." Kenji Hagiwara threw the cigarette into his bag and was about to start defusing the bomb when Jinpei Matsuda called.

"Hagi, what are you dawdling about? Hurry up and dismember that thing."

"Alright, alright, don't rush me, Zhenping. How are things going over there?"

"It's a very simple bomb. All it takes is ..."

"It only takes three minutes to finish, but the criminal probably put most of his focus here. Three minutes..."

Kenji Hagiwara's voice suddenly stopped, and a man with black hair and heterochromatic eyes walked out of the corridor.

The man's face was pale, his eyes were empty, he looked around at the crowd of people and asked: "What... are you doing?"

"Hagi?" Jinpei Matsuda urged, a little worried.

"Why are there residents still inside?" Hagiwara Kenji ordered sternly, "Take them down quickly."

Several team members put down their protective shields and tried to pull him, but they saw that the man escaped like a loach, wriggling around in the small space and refusing to leave.

The man dodged and approached Hagiwara Kenji, looking at the bomb thoughtfully.

"Hey, it's time for you to leave, hey." Kenji Hagiwara pushed the other person nervously, trying to drive him away.

The man didn't answer, but heard a dripping sound.

Kenji Hagiwara's pupils shrank sharply.

The bomb went off in seconds.

"Run, the bomb will explode in seconds!" Hagiwara Kenji didn't dare to delay any longer and wanted to pick up the bomb and run, but someone got there first.

The man was seen running towards the window holding the bomb, sliding and throwing the bomb directly out.

The bomb exploded in the air, and the huge shock wave shattered the glass. The man curled up on the ground and covered his head, but the broken glass fragments still cut his fragile neck, and the bright red blood slowly overflowed like rubies.

Hagiwara Kenji quickly ran over to check on the man: "Are you okay, little brother?"

The man staggered a few steps to his feet, looked at the police officer with eyes half worried and half regretful, and shook his head.

Kenji Hagiwara looked the man up and down and wanted to reach out and pull him over for a closer look, but the man slapped his hand away.

Seeing that he looks full of energy, he probably didn't suffer any serious injuries.

Hagiwara Kenji took a deep breath and said, "This is too dangerous! Who are you? Do you know what you are doing?"

Even the good-tempered Kenji Hagiwara got angry, especially because the man in front of him had a face almost exactly the same as Lin Xiaochen. Except for the different eye color, his appearance was almost cast in the same mold as Lin Xiaochen.

Kenji Hagiwara couldn't help but speak in the tone of a friend, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth he realized that the other person was just a stranger.

"Come with me." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Kenji Hagiwara thought that he had spoken too harshly. "You are a brave man. On behalf of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team, I would like to thank you."

"Hagi? Hagi? What happened? Hagihara Kenji, say something!" In the phone that Hagihara Kenji dropped, Jinpei Matsuda's voice became increasingly anxious.

Hagiwara Kenji walked over and bent down to pick up the phone: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine. A brave citizen helped me a lot. Come up quickly."

Jinpei Matsuda recognized Hagihara Kenji's voice-over and hurriedly entered the cordon. He ran up the stairs regardless of the warnings of the surrounding police officers: "Hayasi told me that the criminal has been caught. I don't think there's anything serious going on with Hagi."

"I'm leaving first." The man turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by the hand by Kenji Hagiwara.

"Little brother, wait a minute, I'll go down with you." Hagiwara Kenji grabbed him, but was almost knocked down by his backhand.

His brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, and Matsuda Jinpei ran up panting. Because the elevator was out of service, he ran up the stairs.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Kenji Hagiwara pulling a black-haired man. From the back, he seemed to look a bit like his classmate in the investigation class.

"Hagi? Hayasi?" Matsuda walked forward, but found that the man was not.

"You're a caring citizen, right? I'm Matsuda. Please be sure to go to the mobile team for a cup of tea as a token of your gratitude." Matsuda Jinpei stepped forward and pressed the other's shoulders, and found that his muscles were stiff, as if he was constantly restraining his body's instincts.

"I'm leaving," the man repeated.

Hagiwara Kenji glanced at the two of them and called Lin Xiaochen: "Hayashi, this is Hagiwara."

"What's wrong, Hagiwara?" Lin Xiaochen's breathing was heavy and his tone was puzzled.

"I met someone who looked a lot like you."

The other party fell silent.

After a long while, the other party guessed: "Can you let him answer the phone?"

Hagiwara handed the phone to the man, but the man didn't want to answer it. Hagiwara had no choice but to say, "Can I put it on the speaker?"

Lin Xiaochen: “Okay.”

"Hello, hello? Can you hear me? Yucheng, do you still remember me?"

The man frowned slightly: "Who are you?"

"Forget it, Hagiwara, I have something to tell you, you come down first."

Hagiwara Kenji agreed a few times and hung up the phone.

The mobile team began to withdraw, and Yucheng followed them downstairs. Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei surrounded the people in the middle, obviously guarding each other.'

However, the man's skills were beyond their expectation. As soon as Yucheng's feet touched the concrete floor, he disappeared in a flash.

Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda hurried to chase after him, but they didn't see even a piece of clothing.

Lin Xiaochen drove over and saw two people standing on the street smoking: "Matsuda, Hagiwara, where is that person?"

Hagiwara shook his head: "He ran away. This is a blind spot for surveillance, but I have arranged for the traffic team to help me check it."

Lin Xiaochen couldn't hide his disappointment on his face: "Ah, thank you Hagiwara."

"What are you thanking me for? If you hadn't caught the murderer, I might have died up there." Hagiwara patted his shoulder. "Do you have anything to explain about Yucheng?"

"Let's find a place to talk slowly. The confession can be arranged for someone else." Lin Xiaochen glanced at his colleagues in the distance.
