Follow the Internet Cable to Kill Him

"Fujino- kun, do you want me to investigate the bombing?"

The call was quickly connected, and Hiroki's voice came from the other end.

"Well?"

Fujino was taken aback. "That's right, you knew?"

"Yes, I started investigating after receiving the information."

Hiroki spoke in a tone that seemed to be praising me, saying, "And we've already uncovered some clues!"

"As expected of you."

Upon hearing this, Fujino couldn't help but sigh.

Hiroki has now made his home in his laptop.

I also created a program along the way.

As long as he makes a call, the other party can answer the call remotely.

These were all suggestions made by Hiroki himself.

Indeed, dealing with AI is convenient.

Coming to his senses, Fujino asked him, "So, what exactly did you find out?"

"I found the target who was closest to the perpetrator on a bomb enthusiast website."

After a brief silence, Hiroki continued, "Right now, on that forum website, two people are arguing. It started when a guy named James said that only two policemen were killed in the bombing, and one detective wasn't. He said the bomb wasn't anything special. Then Ryan said that the detective was just Criminal Consultant, and next time he should be blown up too."

"Criminal Consultant, how come they know so much..."

Fujino pondered for a moment, "This guy seems a bit suspicious."

"That's right, that's what I think too."

Hiroki Sawada agreed, "That's why I started paying attention to him."

Fujino hesitated for a moment. "Has there been any news report about me being implicated?"

"Not yet..."

"So, it's possible he was there at the time?"

Fujino decisively ordered, "Hiroki, can you go in and try to get some information out of him? Don't reveal your identity."

"That's no problem."

Hiroki was silent for a moment, then quickly sent a message: "Their words were vague, only saying that the bomb was made by their friend."

"The classic 'I Have a Friend' line, right?"

Fujino murmured to himself, then immediately thought of the classic old trick and instructed, "Keep trying to get information out of him, just say, 'I heard the bomb was hidden inside the corpse,' to test him a little."

"I see."

After another moment of silence, Hiroki's voice came through the phone again. "That guy replied, saying that it was completely a rumor, just like what the news said, the bomb was hidden under the body, and he knew that it wasn't reported in the news, and there should be something stuck on the body."

He paused, then continued, "I just checked the news, and there isn't a single news report mentioning anything about having something stuck to the body..."

"Yes, the body had already been completely blown to pieces before the reporters arrived."

Fujino explained, "Furthermore, due to the potential impact, the police have not yet released this information."

Hiroki Sawada hesitated for a moment. "If that's the case..."

"That's right, it looks like... we've found the real deal."

Fujino narrowed his eyes, picked up where Hiroki left off, and then said in a deep voice, "Hiroki, can you find out his IP address, or even his home address?"

"I can try hacking into this website's server and retrieving the registration information from the backend, wait a minute..."

Hiroki responded, and after a moment of silence, excitedly said, "We found it! This guy is currently in an apartment in Kokubo Town... Combining the information, it should be room 201 there!"

"Thank you, Hiroki."

"It's alright, the main thing is that it's interesting to be able to help you solve cases,"

Hiroki Sawada smiled and said, "The feeling of unraveling the mystery and arresting the culprit is quite nice."

Then, he asked doubtfully, "But why do you need his address, Fujino? It wouldn't be..."

"That's right."

Fujino nodded slightly. "I'm going to go through the internet to kill him."

"Forehead..."

Hiroki Sawada was clearly taken aback by this and couldn't help but remind him, "Murder is illegal."

"It's not like it's the first time we've killed animals."

"..."

"Okay, just kidding, I'm hanging up now."

Kokubo Town, Tokyo.

As darkness fell, it became a little past seven in the evening.

The summer evening breeze blows away the residual heat in the air, bringing a touch of coolness.

Fujino arrived at a simple two-story rental house. This kind of simple rental house often appears in Japanese anime. Many protagonists in Japanese anime series live here, so it can be said to be very classic.

Fortunately, he used to be a rich second-generation, owning a small house and a car, so he didn't have to live in a house that looked like a construction site shack.

(Similar to this)

"This should be the place, right?"

Fujino held up the phone and asked Hiroki Sawada on the other end, "Don't call the wrong person, that would be awkward."

"There can't be any mistake."

Hiroki Sawada said, "I've already investigated, and he's the one who posted the message."

"That's good, I believe you."

Arriving at door 201, Fujino squatted down, listening to the typing sounds coming from inside the rented room.

He took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock..."

Who is it?

"I'm from the local community, and we're currently running a 'Community Warmth Campaign.' I'd like to ask you a few questions."

"Community outreach program? Are there really such programs?"

The person inside hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to the door.

Listening to the intermittent footsteps, Fujino narrowed his eyes and then took two steps back.

Sensing the other party approaching, Fujino acted decisively, leaping forward and delivering a flying kick to the door.

With a loud bang, the simple door was kicked open.

A black figure burst through the door.

A powerful flying kick slammed down on the door, knocking the man inside to the ground.

Without any hesitation, Fujino landed and steadied himself, then grabbed the door panel and slammed it twice against the man lying on the ground.

"Stop hitting me! What are you doing? Ouch! Ah—!"

The man was hit so hard he couldn't stand up, and curled up on the ground, clutching his head tightly.

"Crack!"

The door panel was smashed.

Fujino clicked his tongue, casually tossed the door panel outside, grabbed the man by the collar, and slammed him hard against the wall behind him. "You must be the perpetrator of that bombing, right?"

"Ah?!"

The man was taken aback. "What are you talking about?!"

Still being stubborn?

Fujino executed an over-the-shoulder throw, pinning his arm behind his back, pressing his neck down with one knee, and slamming his face hard into the ground. "You were just talking about the crime method and the various circumstances at the scene online, weren't you?"

"Ah?!"

The man was stunned by what he heard and looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief.

He thought to himself, all he did was ramble on and on online.

How did I manage to attract their attention and get them to come to my door and reveal their true self?!

Coming to his senses, he quickly explained, "I did say those words, but I didn't do them!"

"Where did you hear about these things?"

"I heard it from a friend I used to work with!"

"A friend who works part-time?"

Upon hearing this, Fujino frowned, turned his hand to move his face away from the ground, grabbed his throat with one hand, and stared directly into his eyes as he asked, "What did he say?"
