Sato: The Symptoms Have Started Spreading

"Forget it, Inspector Megure is the same, he won't listen anyway."

Sato Miwako sighed helplessly, then looked at the shopping bag and said, "But you really are lucky this time. The remote-controlled bomb didn't detonate when you were defusing it."

"It's not that I'm lucky to be alive."

Fujino crossed his arms. "It was all obviously something I had planned."

"Hehe..."

Sato rolled his eyes at Fujino, giving him a look that said, "You think I believe that?"

"It's possible that it was all planned by Advisor Fujino."

At this moment, Takagi suddenly twitched his chin. "After all, the advisor was very calm back then, and he was even in the mood to joke."

"Right!"

Sato: "..."

It feels like I've run into two complete idiots.

One truly believed it, and the other truly dared to believe it.

"But since it was hidden under this car, it means the bomb was aimed at Takagi, right?"

Shiratori glanced at Takagi's car first, then looked around. "Furthermore, the perpetrator must have been observing the situation nearby. As for why it wasn't detonated, it's probably because he wanted to attract more police, but he didn't expect that Advisor Fujino would dismantle it..."

After a pause, Shiratori also scratched his chin thoughtfully and said, "Perhaps Advisor Fujino really did foresee this and made that judgment."

Sato: "..."

Big Fool +1

The symptoms have already started to spread.

"Thinking about it, that should be it."

Juzo Megure nodded slightly. "As expected of Brother Fujino."

Sato: "..."

Inspector Megure, you're here too?

Damn it, there are suddenly so many idiots around me!

"In short, we've made some progress in this case."

Juzo Megure voice, "Although the method is different from the case three years ago, the possibility that the criminals have targeted the police is indeed very high."

"It's Inspector Megure!"

Just then, a few little ones, seeing familiar faces gathered together, came over and curiously asked what had happened.

After learning that there was a bomb there, Mitsuhiko pulled out a videotape, saying that he might have filmed who was committing the crime.

As for the camera, it was just stolen by someone, we don't know who.

Inside a nearby electronics store.

A large number of police officers, along with the Junior Detective League, gathered in front of a giant television screen in the mall.

Although the image was displayed on the big screen, in reality, only Mitsuhiko's feet wearing small leather shoes were visible.

"Ha ha..."

Mitsuhiko chuckled dryly, "After all, I forgot the camera was on earlier, which is why I changed the tape later."

"But there's nothing important about it."

Juzo Megure stared speechlessly at the feet on the screen. He had just said something, but before he could finish, a sharp "snap" came from the TV.

Juzo Megure and the group of fierce-looking Tigers from the First Investigation Division behind him were startled by the sound, and then looked seriously at the scene on the television.

Then, there's the scene where Takagi was just slapped hard.

Who is this person?

Juzo Megure frowned, glancing at the man who had been slapped hard, but didn't recognize him as Takagi at first glance.

"It's me..."

Takagi gave an awkward reply, then looked at Mitsuhiko with a resentful expression and said, "Hey, why did you record this too?!"

"Well..."

Mitsuhiko chuckled awkwardly, "I just accidentally raised the camera."

Takagi: "..."

I accidentally took such a clear picture.

Fujino: "..."

Mitsuhiko, you're pretty good at recording.

"Huh?!"

Juzo Megure stared intently at the television. "Sato... she looks like she's crying?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, a large group of fierce-looking detectives all turned to look at Takagi, revealing their cunning eyes.

The interrogation room that's empty tonight is probably already reserved for Takagi.

"Ahem."

Sato Miwako also noticed the gazes around her at this moment.

Although Matsuda was a hurdle she could never get over.

But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had indeed gone a bit too far.

For no reason at all, someone gets slapped in the face or something.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she coughed lightly and said calmly, "Takagi, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier."

Well... actually, it was mainly my fault.

Takagi scratched his head. "I only found out from Advisor Fujino. I'm really sorry about what happened just now."

"Fujino?"

Sato Miwako glanced at Fujino.

She naturally guessed that Fujino must have spoken to Takagi about Matsuda on her behalf.

He realized he had indeed gone too far, and even asked Fujino to explain for him.

Sato felt a little guilty, looked away, and shook her head slightly. "I didn't control my emotions just now, so... In short, I should be the one apologizing."

"Oh..."

Upon hearing this, the expression on the faces of the Metropolitan Police Department around him softened somewhat.

Takagi makes Sato cry x

Sato hit Takagi √

The videotape didn't contain much detail; it just happened to capture two people walking past Takagi's car.

Shiratori thought that person was just a passerby.

Moreover, even if it really was a terrorist who planted a bomb, it would be impossible to see the specific features.

After all, with video cameras of this era, even if you zoom in, things that are a little far away will still be blurry.

"Ring ring!"

"What?! Another bombing?!"

Just then, Juzo Megure's phone rang. He answered with a surprised expression, then said to everyone in a deep voice, "This time, the explosion site has moved from the intersection to Beika Park..."

"Beihu Park?"

Takagi was taken aback. "Isn't this the same route as the Soul Team's parade?"

"In other words, the criminals weren't targeting the police at all." Sato Miwako rubbed her chin. "Their real target was the Tokyo Soul Team."

"It seems that this is what the criminals were after."

Juzo Megure agreed with Sato's guess and mobilized the surrounding detectives to begin searching the parade route, while Shiratori was in charge of coordinating with the bomb disposal team.

As for Takagi and Fujino, they were left at the electronics store by Megure.

"No problem, you can go and investigate."

Fujino waved and pulled Takagi into his arms. "Takagi and I will definitely stay safely at the electronics store."

"Well?!"

Juzo Megure turned strange for a moment.

Why has Fujino suddenly become so well-behaved this time?

Shouldn't things have been more radical in the past?

Not reckless anymore?

"Hey, Fujino."

Sato Miwako was clearly skeptical and leaned closer to ask, "What exactly are you up to this time?"

"It's nothing."

Fujino, looking obedient and a bit dazed, said, "I just felt there was no need to send anyone out."

Sato Miwako: "..."

Why do I feel like you're even more dangerous than the extreme version of yourself?

After a moment of silence, she didn't think too much about it, "In that case, you and Takagi can stay here and investigate the videotape. We're going to check the parade route."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Fujino continued to nod obediently, watching Sato and Megure leave.

"Advisor Fujino..."

Takagi asked, bewildered, "Are we really going to investigate the videotape?"

He always felt that Fujino must have a more profound plan.

"No."

Fujino shook his head slightly. "Let's just watch the video honestly."
