The police academy team is also giving me a haircut today

Gin asked him to track down the trail of Marc Brandy......

Does this mean...Mark Brandy is coming to Japan?

Accident, Marc Brandy - Japan?

Toru Amuro suddenly remembered the "accident" he encountered when he was investigating the bomber.

In the blink of an eye, broken phrases were suddenly connected together in Toru Amuro's mind, forming an extremely clear thought.

Marc Brandy, hands on.

Amuro Toru has been investigating the clues of the bomber after accepting the task from Gin.

A few days ago, Toru Amuro's investigation made some key developments.Amuro once contacted a person who had some key information to meet at a bar to discuss trading the information he had.

It is a very common medium-sized bar hidden in the streets and alleys. The decoration is not particularly exquisite, the number of drinks is barely complete, and the slightly remote location makes its nights not as prosperous as some large bars. .

But at night, there will still be a lot of drinkers in this bar, noisy and noisy.This is an ideal trading environment.

When Toru Amuro arrived at the transaction site, he quickly located a middle-aged man sitting under the air conditioner on the left according to the information of the transaction partner.

At that time, after a little observation, Toru Amuro went straight to the target of the transaction.At that time, sitting behind the trading target was a table of young men with dyed hair. One of the young men with red hair was holding a cigarette in his mouth with an irritable expression. He took out his lighter and prepared to light a cigarette.

Seeing this, the girl with an afro-haired head sitting on his lap immediately pressed his hand, and persuaded the red hair: "Jin Jian, smoking here will be fined by the boss..."

"What's the matter!" the red-haired young man said irritably, "It's just like not letting people smoke in bars..." "But..."

The intermittent arguing was lost in the noisy voices, Toru Amuro just glanced at the situation over there and then looked away.

Just some harmless normal people.

"Aren't you bothering me!" The red-haired young man's patience was running low after being exposed to alcohol, he shook off his female companion's hand, and recklessly tried to ignite the pulley lighter.

The pulley is rolling, and the friction sound is faint and inaudible.

It is like the faint smell of frozen oil dissolved in the strong smell of alcohol, quietly swallowed by the hustle and bustle of the bar.

"bass--!"

The friction of the stainless steel pulley gave off a spark, and then a flickering flame burst out from the nozzle of the lighter.

The faint flames suddenly flickered and expanded.

The black smoke around the fireworks and the sudden burning sensation in the air made the red-haired young man on top of the alcohol dully realize that something was wrong. He didn't see the female companion beside him widen her eyes in horror——

Because, the lighter in his hand exploded.

"Bam—"

The red-haired young man's right hand was bloody and bloody from the lighter blast. He didn't even have time to howl in pain before he lost consciousness forever in the suddenly burning and bursting air.

"Bang bang bang!" The swaying open flame was like a fuse, the temperature in the air suddenly increased, screams and fear were swallowed by the menacing explosion together with the rising flames and black smoke.

The air and alcohol seem to have become excellent fuels, and the continuous deflagration sounds crackled.

Amuro realized something was wrong when he heard the first explosion.His body reacted before his mind, rolling over and ducking behind the nearest sofa, using it as cover from the initial direct impact.

But even so, Toru Amuro was inevitably injured, not to mention that the explosion was continuous, even the flames that filled the room and the flying glass shards were deadly weapons.

Unfortunately, the trade partner whom Toru Amuro agreed to meet died in this 'accident'.

Yes, it was an accident.

Toru Amuro originally thought that this was a deliberate bombing that the bomber wanted to clean up the traces left behind after the bombing.

After all, for the bomber who killed Hagiwara Kenji, it couldn't be easier to create an explosion.

However, from Kazami Yuya, Amuro Toru heard a completely different conclusion.

"...According to the investigation report of the Metropolitan Police Department, this explosion should only be due to the cracking of the copper pipe of the air conditioner, resulting in the deflagration caused by the leakage of the refrigerant and encountering an open flame. From the current on-site investigation, this It should have been just an accident."

"Accident?" Toru Amuro couldn't help frowning: "The copper pipe is cracked? What does this mean?"

"That's what the investigation report says. There are three hanging air conditioners on the first floor of the bar, and their copper pipes have cracked to varying degrees."

"If the so-called cracking of copper pipes occurs in all three air conditioners at the same time, isn't this caused by human beings?" Toru Amuro asked incomprehensibly.

"...This, I'm afraid not."

"How to say?"

"The air conditioner used in Yelai Bar is the newly launched R23 model. This type of air conditioner has an excellent cooling effect, but its installation method is very different from the previous air conditioner of the same type."

"I found a similar case in the files of the Metropolitan Police Department, just in the first half of this year."

"The accidental explosion was caused by the installation workers following the installation method of the old air conditioner. However, due to the extremely slight leakage of the refrigerant and the fact that the head of the household was far away from the air conditioner at the time of the incident, no casualties were caused."

"If this pub was installed by the same installer who didn't understand the precautions for the new version of the air conditioner when it was installed ... it is normal for the air conditioner to have problems."

"Moreover...the leakage of refrigerant is related to the degree of sealing of the space."

"In the past, the bar always opened the windows to ventilate at night, so there has been no problem. But today, the bar owner did not open the windows because of the smell of a broken sewer pipe outside the bar."

"He once asked not to smoke as much as possible, so as not to cause too much smell in the house due to insufficient ventilation, but he didn't expect...such a thing would happen."

Kazami Yu didn't continue to say that the refrigerant content of the three air conditioners that Amuro knew, plus the many alcoholic drinks sold on the first floor, the intensity of the flame deflagration would lead to this unfortunate accident. It makes sense.

In this accident, a total of five people were killed, and there were countless others who were seriously or slightly injured.

Toru Amuro always felt that things were a little bit too coincidental. The trade partner he met happened to be involved in this accident without warning and died directly.

The bomber has been consciously sweeping away traces of his activities, which makes Amuro Toru's investigation very difficult.The clues about the bomber that he managed to track down this time were completely annihilated in this explosion.

"What happened to the rupture of the sewer?"

Yuya Kazami didn't seem to expect Toru Amuro to ask this question, he quickly flipped through the notes, found the bar owner and some related statements and said: "It seems that the pipeline itself has a certain degree of erosion and aging, plus there are small Children throwing firecrackers down the sewer..."

After carefully understanding all the facts of the case, although Toru Amuro still felt that it was a bit of a coincidence, he still had to admit that it seemed to be an unfortunate accident.

But when he learned that Marc Brandy might be involved, Toru Amuro changed his mind instantly.

He let out a shallow breath, I'm afraid...it's not an accident.

There is very little information about Marc Brandy, and he, who is himself a sweeper, has gone to the extreme in hiding his personal information.

Except for some rumors and code names that the organization tried to catch up with, the information sent by Gin Jiu has almost no substantive content.

The age column gives an approximate range, "19 years old - 28 years old". Amuro estimates that this should be an inference based on the time when Marc Brandy first came to prominence and some word-of-mouth impressions from other people.

In terms of appearance, there are only a few descriptions that seem to conflict with each other, and even the gender column is marked as unknown.

Marc brandy...is it going to be disguised?

Or did everyone who saw his true face die in an 'accidental' death?

organize......

Amuro Toru's thoughts surged out one after another, his expression was dark and unclear.

It didn't take long for Toru Amuro to browse through this rudimentary document, and his eyes stayed on the last photo in the file, which was of poor quality and barely recognizable.

This is the only picture of Marc Brandy.

It seems that the photo taken secretly at night is blurry and dim. From the photo, only a figure in a long skirt can be seen from a distance sitting in a black car. She (?) seems to have long hair and a top. A little bit of dark long hair was exposed under the wide hat.

Marc Brandy.......

......

......

The hot spring paradise of Holcim Hotel.

After everyone in the cooking department changed into their swimsuits, they followed Suzuki Sonoko to the pre-booked soup pool.

The hot spring of Howci Hotel is a combination of soup bath and water park, so everyone went to have a good time first, and then dived into the soup pool to soak.

Holcim Hotels are all outdoor open-air soup pools, and there is no distinction between men's and women's soups.

Suzuki Sonoko simply circled two adjacent soup ponds, where boys and girls soaked leisurely one by one.

Kamikawa Cansuke, who hadn’t shown up for a long time, was warmly welcomed by the members of the cooking department. He leaned on the edge of the soup pool and happily chatted with Suzuki Sonoko and Takatsu Tomomi about his studies, future and life.

Akagi Furu is leaning not far from Nagasawa Yuki, with Kamikawa Kurasuke on his left and Nagasawa Yuki on his right.While playing in the water, Akagi Tsubasa listened to the conversation of Kamikawa Kurasuke and the others with great interest, occasionally interjecting a few words.

Only Yuki Nagasawa distanced herself a little from the crowd and leaned against the remote end of Tangchi.Nagasawa Yuki put a hot towel on his eyes, and he raised his head to soak in the hot spring, looking like he didn't want to be cueed and was in a daze.

"Buzz buzz—" Nagasawa Yuki's cell phone next to the soup pool suddenly vibrated.
