Playing Tricks Will Only Get You Played to Death

"Could it be?!"

Sato Miwako's expression froze upon hearing this.

It was obvious that he understood what Fujino meant.

"It looks like those people are planning to make their move while Takagi is guarding the prisoners alone."

Fujino pondered, "First, they used a diversionary tactic to get the two of us away. If it were Officer Takagi, the criminal would probably have succeeded easily. As for the bomb, they wouldn't use an unstable one, since it was only placed there recently. If it exploded, the person who placed the bomb would also die."

"Then let's hurry back!"

Sato Miwako turned around and wanted to run back quickly.

She thought Fujino was right.

If it were Takagi, she believed that the assailant would definitely be able to rescue the person.

It wasn't that she lacked confidence in Takagi.

That little guy Takagi is really hard to trust.

"Actually, there's no need to rush."

Fujino called out to Sato Miwako: "Since they want to rescue their accomplice, let's just let them succeed."

"To help the other side succeed?"

Sato pondered for a moment, "Do you already know their plan?"

"Yes."

Fujino chuckled lightly, "Since we know someone wants to save him, it means the other party is definitely here now. Since we're already here, let's play along and not go back."

As he spoke, Fujino raised a meaningful smile and said, "Instead of catching that one, we might as well use him as bait and wipe them all out in one fell swoop. After all, they probably wouldn't expect the two of us to be able to determine so quickly that it's not a bomb."

Sato Miwako couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

Judging from this, Fujino must have known this would happen all along.

That's probably why the bomb could be lifted so easily.

It seems she was overthinking it.

However, those people were really confused this time.

Why did you have to resort to tricks in front of Fujino?

This is a case of a scheme going too far, resulting in a loss instead of a win, and ultimately turning into a free sale.

Based on my understanding of Fujino...

Sato Miwako felt that it was easier to just bring up a large group of people than to use a routine.

Trying to outsmart people will only get you played.

"Hey, are you done yet?"

Takagi and the others stood at the restroom door on the other side of the carriage, asking questions inside.

Just after Fujino and Sato left, Ogura Chizo asked to use the restroom.

To prevent the drug dealer from urinating or defecating anywhere, he defecated directly on his seat.

Takagi had no choice but to bring him to the bathroom.

"Officer, please don't rush me, okay?"

Ogura Chizo sat on the toilet, her other hand handcuffed and resting against Takagi's hand. As she spoke, she reached for the toilet bowl with her other, uncuffed hand. "It's very inconvenient for me to have one hand cuffed. Could you come in and help me?"

"Um... you're such a hassle."

Takagi felt a chill run down his spine; naturally, he didn't want to clean up the mess left by such an old man.

"Heh heh, right, officer, you guys just said you wanted me to reveal my contact information."

Ogura Chizo sneered, pulled a small knife from the reservoir, tested its authenticity, then plunged it into his stomach, continuing, "But I'm really sorry, I'm about to die, soon I'll become a bird that can't speak... Ah!"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing the screams, Takagi quickly opened the bathroom door to check on the situation.

Then, we saw Ogura Chizo slumped on the toilet, a small knife stained with blood sticking out of his abdomen.

"Hey, where did you get this knife?!"

Takagi panicked and quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket.

But we're currently inside a tunnel, so we can't make any calls.

Helpless, he could only handcuff him in the bathroom and go to find Fujino and Sato for help.

"Hmph."

After Takagi left, Ogura Chizo suddenly sneered, "As expected, they're still a bunch of useless trash."

As he spoke, he glanced at the knife in his stomach. "But that officer was really stupid; he ran away without even looking."

"Isn't that because my plan was brilliant?"

A man wearing a knitted hat suddenly opened the bathroom door and walked in with a newspaper in his hand.

"Hmph, that's true."

Ogura Chizo sneered and pulled the knife out of his stomach, "Using a newspaper to hint at me is indeed a very clever tactic. I'm amazed you could think of that."

"I only thought of this after seeing the reports about you."

The man chuckled and said, "Your news is everywhere in the newspapers now."

"Oh?"

Ogura Chizo was taken aback. "Am I that famous?"

"Why don't you just take a look for yourself?"

The man handed the newspaper to Ogura Chizo, and reached into his pocket behind his back with his other hand.

"Compared to all this, wouldn't it be better to just take the handcuffs off quickly?"

Ogura Chizo glanced curiously at the newspaper without suspecting his accomplice. "You should have brought lock-picking tools, right?"

"Of course I brought it."

As he spoke, the man pulled a real knife from his pocket and prepared to stab Ogura Chizo in the wound inflicted by the prop.

"Bang!"

Just as the knife was about to pierce the newspaper and plunge into Ogura Chizo's body.

A muffled sound suddenly came from behind.

Upon hearing the sound, Ogura Chizo looked up and saw his companion suddenly being hit on the head by a large, dark stick.

He took a closer look at the dark thing...

Is it Wooden Sword?

The man wearing a knitted hat collapsed to the ground.

A handsome face, characterized by its jet-black color, appeared before my eyes.

It was Fujino, the staff officer in charge of this escort plan.

"You're pretty good at having fun."

Fujino slightly raised the Wooden Sword and looked at Ogura Chizo, who was sitting on the toilet. "He actually used a magic knife and faked his death with blood and stuff like that."

"..."

Ogura Chizo glared at Fujino with a dark expression.

I just slapped him twice, and now I've knocked out his accomplice who was trying to save him...

"But you probably didn't expect your accomplices to actually want you dead, did you?"

Fujino picked up the knife from the ground and teased, "Looks like you've lost your value to them. Well, you're all drug dealers. Once you're no longer valuable, being used as a pawn will make you a suspect for leaking secrets. I say, you're a really pathetic drug dealer."

Ogura Chizo's pupils dilated in surprise.

To be honest, he never expected that his accomplice would want to kill him.

After all, the original plan was to save him!

Could it be that one of our own people has betrayed us?

Hateful!

"I advise you to come back with us and honestly explain everything."

Sato Miwako pulled out another pair of handcuffs, cuffed them to the man in the knit hat, pulled him up, threw him out of the bathroom, and then looked at Ogura Chizo: "Now that your accomplices have abandoned you, continuing to be stubborn will only lead to your death. Confess and you may receive leniency."

"I see."

Ogura Chizo pondered for a moment, then nodded listlessly.

He also knew that as a drug dealer, he was vulnerable to being hunted down by his own organization or others.

Then there's really no safety to be found by the police.

"Call!"

Outside the restroom, Takagi took the unconscious man and breathed a sigh of relief, "That was almost it..."

"But Takagi- kun."

Sato Miwako then turned around and looked at Takagi with a smile, "Because someone accidentally let the prisoner being escorted be killed, we almost made a mistake and got fired."

"Gurgle."

Takagi shivered and couldn't help but swallow.
