Learning It Online Is Perfectly Reasonable, Right?

Sato Miwako felt fortunate that she was in Criminal Investigation and not particularly sensitive about bomb disposal.

By her estimate, if the people from the Explosives Disposal Unit heard that, every one of them would grab a pair of wire cutters and beat this guy to death.

But on second thought, she became somewhat curious.

How exactly could Fujino—a high school student, detective, and Criminal Investigation consultant—defuse bombs so easily?

She looked back at the street behind her and suddenly fell into a daze.
