Chapter 1063 A Crowded Office
Zhu Fujingguang looked at Tang Ze, who was choking and coughing, with the same strange expression on his face, obviously thinking the same thing as he did.
The person who could carry out the mission with Bourbon at that time, or in other words, monitor Bourbon, and was also a sniper, the scope was relatively limited.
"...It's unlikely." He touched his chin and couldn't help muttering to himself, "No matter what, Zero was saving Matsuda. If Lei witnessed Zero suddenly taking action and saving a policeman, then..."
Isn't that the same as telling Akai Shuichi loudly on the microphone that he is a Japanese police officer?
"But if it's not Brother Xiuyi, it can't be Cohen or Chianti... There's another name I don't want to mention." Tang Ze wiped the paper that was splashed with coffee, his expression was very subtle, "After all, Brother Xiuyi is really an undercover agent, even if he finds clues, he won't report it to the organization easily."
"That's what he said, but Ling didn't know Lei's position at the time. He would definitely avoid this scene and not let Lei appear in front of him. How could he let Lei support him..."
It seems like it should be Akai Shuichi, but it's unlikely that it's Akai Shuichi...
Although it seems that his eagerness to save people could explain it, it is unlikely that Rei Furuya, who has been in the organization for three years, would make such an irrational choice.
To put it more exaggeratedly, an undercover agent has to be prepared to see his relatives and friends die in front of him. Not only can he not show the slightest sign of pain, he may even have to smile and praise the murderer for his good marksmanship.
Tang Ze and Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at each other, both lost in thought.
Before they could come to a conclusion, Kenji Hagiwara weakly raised his hand.
"Well, is there a possibility that if it's Jinpei-kun, even if he's defusing a bomb, in the sniper's view, he'd look more like the criminal assembling the bomb than a bomb disposal police officer...?"
Several people looked at Hagiwara Kenji at the same time.
Hagiwara Kenji laughed awkwardly: "I didn't say that Xiao Zhenping is a bad guy, it's just that, uh, when he has a sour face, he always looks like he is not easy to mess with..."
When Jinpei Matsuda puts on a calm face, he won't be mistaken for a criminal, but he definitely doesn't look out of place standing among the gang members.
As we all know, after Hagiwara Kenji's death, Matsuda Jinpei had a sour face most of the time...
Matsuda Jinpei hissed, pounced over and grabbed his neck, while Karasawa and Morobushi Kagemitsu both let out long "Oh" sounds in unison.
Zhu Fu Jingguang slapped the table and suddenly realized: "Although I don't know what Zero's mission was at that time, it means that in Lei's vision, Zero was not rescuing the police who were defusing the bomb..."
"…but he was picking up an accomplice who was planting a bomb, and chasing after Pramya who was trying to stop him." Tang Ze put himself in Akai Shuichi's perspective and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
There is one thing to say, indeed.
Bourbon's character in the organization is very solid. This can be seen in the fact that Shuichi Akai was investigated and liquidated because of his background and actions, but Bourbon was fine. In order to deal with Bourbon, Shuichi Akai lied that he killed Scotland.
Even if we ignore the inevitable involvement of Akai Shuu, even in the original plot line, Bourbon's character in the organization has always been safe. Except for being subtly threatened by Rum, he has almost never been suspected.
Of course, Rum now has no time to doubt such things. He is almost paralyzed by his subordinate Bourbon.
From this perspective, Akai Shuichi did not suspect Bourbon at the time, and it seems that Akai Shuichi cannot be blamed...
"Why don't you just ask Zero about this kind of thing?!" Matsuda Jinpei twisted Hagiwara Kenji's neck, then sat back down amid his begging voice, and asked angrily, "Do I still want to listen to you?"
"Well, what happened next?" Tang Ze suppressed the smile and asked in a flattering manner.
In fact, following this logical reasoning, what happened later is not surprising.
The two people from the organization are both undercover agents. As two undercover agents, their goal is definitely to try not to kill anyone during the mission.
Therefore, it is impossible for Furuya Rei to kill Pramia directly, and it is even more impossible for Akai Shuichi to do so.
Considering it from this perspective, Pramiya shouldn't hold any grudges at all. She should thank Shuichi Akai for not killing her.
Knowing that the person he was sniping was such a well-known international wanted criminal, Akai Shuichi would not let her go, and he didn't shoot her into pieces just to save ammunition...
Sure enough, Matsuda Jinpei's later account did not surprise them.
"Then, Zero chased the masked man out. After a while, the squad leader who had notified the surrounding police cars of the emergency situation also came back. I dismantled the bomb at the last minute, but he probably didn't mention my name to the police station. After all, I had just been transferred out of the explosive ordnance disposal team, and it was not suitable for me to touch explosives so rashly, which could easily cause doubts and conflicts."
"Is this why Officer Sato and the others didn't know about this?" Tang Ze thought thoughtfully, "The Investigation Division had no idea that you were involved in this special case from the beginning to the end."
"This isn't something the Investigation Division is responsible for. The squad leader didn't mention me, and later, probably because of Zero's involvement, the public security department also handled the incident in a low-key manner... All in all, this is indeed a situation that only a few of us would know about." Matsuda Jinpei concluded.
"Well, that's a bit troublesome." Tang Ze nodded to show his understanding, then spoke slowly.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at him in confusion.
"We'd better set off for the Metropolitan Police Department now." Tang Ze stood up and began to fix his hair skillfully. "Since the Investigation Section 1 still doesn't know about your connection with Pramya, and Oleg failed to inform them in time, then that group of people who have been blinded by hatred will probably attack the Investigation Section 1 again..."
"What do you mean?" Matsuda Jinpei stood up suddenly, "What's this about the Investigation Division?"
"Oleg is a member of the revenge team formed by the families of Pramia's victims. Because of this damaged tablet, he learned in advance that Pramia was going to take action in Shibuya, Tokyo. He came to the Metropolitan Police Department to find you, inform you of the situation, and get your assistance. He was worried that there was a fraud and was unwilling to go with his companions. Therefore, he would not tell them when he went to investigate Maori Kogoro. The two sides acted separately. Those 'Avengers' actually don't know the content of our conversation today."
Tang Ze introduced all this very quickly, then took out Goro Akechi's jacket from his commuter bag and put it on.
"In the eyes of those people, Oleg, who was going to the Metropolitan Police Department, disappeared without a trace after being stopped by us. If they want to know more details, they can only contact the person who is most likely to know the truth. Maori Kogoro, or -"
"--The police officer Jinpei Matsuda he is looking for." Jinpei Matsuda understood what he meant and immediately followed his footsteps and walked out.
If Oleg had not had time to pass the message to his uninformed companions, they would have simply followed the original plan and requested to meet with Jinpei Matsuda.
But where can the Investigation Section find a Jinpei Matsuda to send over?
more importantly--

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
"Huh? You said Chiba was kidnapped?!"
Looking at Sato Miwako who ran to him, Megure Jusan put down the coffee he had just prepared for himself, his face full of confusion.
"Yes, I just received a call. It was from Chiba's cell phone. The Japanese accent of the other party was not standard. This didn't seem like a joke." Sato Miwako's expression was very serious, and she tightened the document in her hand.
She was already busy with this matter, busy looking for information related to Jinpei Matsuda.
Kogoro Mouri brings Conan and a foreign man to the scene, saying that Shibuya might be targeted by a bomber and a public safety incident is about to happen.
Because the other party mentioned Jinpei Matsuda, combined with Conan's reasoning, although it is unfounded, the most likely guess at present is that Jinpei Matsuda may have had some conflict with the bomber a few days before his death, such as destroying the other party's plan, affecting the other party's crime, etc. - this is completely consistent with his former identity and is a very reasonable speculation.
This could even further explain Yoji Motobashi's sudden disappearance from the police and reappearance at the explosion site.
He was already a disabled person who had lost the ability to take care of himself. If it was not a deliberate revenge, there was no need for the other party to take Yoji Motobashi away and kill him in such a cruel way.
It seems that the shadow that Jinpei Matsuda left on the criminals called Pramya was quite deep, so deep that even after discovering that Jinpei Matsuda had died in the line of duty, they still wanted to find the bomber who killed him, interrogate him, and kill him...
Just as Conan said, the business card itself is a very important clue.
The time that Jinpei Matsuda had with him for the First Investigation Division's business card was very short, so starting the investigation from this direction would be the most effective.
As Jinpei Matsuda's last partner and the person in the Investigation Section who knows his experience during this period best, Miwako Sato naturally became the person to help Conan continue his investigation.
What's strange is that no matter how hard the Investigation Section searched, they could not find any records of the gas leak Conan mentioned, which was suspected to be an attempt to cover up a possible explosion.
The only possible connection to this is that on that afternoon three years ago, the Metropolitan Police Department received a request for assistance from a policeman named Date Kou.
However, there is no trace of Jinpei Matsuda in the application content. What's even more outrageous is that Date Kou himself had passed away a year ago.
Feeling unbelievable, Sato Miwako continued to investigate and unexpectedly discovered that Date Kou was actually the class leader of the police academy class of Matsuda Jinpei. However, just confirming this point was meaningless for the investigation.
All the parties involved are dead, even the criminal who killed them is dead.
What exactly happened that day? Perhaps they can only get further information when the man who calls himself Oleg comes to explain to them.
They had not originally planned to inform Megure Jusan of all this. After all, the source of information was unreliable at the moment and everything was unknown, so it would be untenable to file a case like this.
As a result, before they finished the basic data checking work, something went wrong in Chiba.
"Kidnap Chiba, what's the reason?" Megure Jusan frowned, "Did the other party make any demands?"
"The other party gave a time and asked..." Sato Miwako glanced at Takagi Wataru who ran in hurriedly behind her, "They asked us to see Officer Matsuda Jinpei before 6 o'clock."
"Huh? Jinpei Matsuda?! But, Matsuda..."
"Yes, I wanted to explain to the other party that Matsuda had died in the line of duty, but the person on the other end of the phone refused to communicate, and it seemed that he couldn't understand Japanese very well..." Sato Miwako held her forehead with a headache, "What is going on..."
Chiba Kazunobu just went out to complete his normal field work this afternoon, visiting the site, picking up documents, etc., and did not do any important confidential work.
There hasn't been any incident in the Metropolitan Police Department recently that threatens the personal safety of police officers. The biggest incident was probably Muranaka Tsutomu's wedding.
Sato Miwako racked her brains but couldn't figure out why a person suddenly appeared and wanted to look for Matsuda Jinpei.
It couldn't be the person who blew up Motobashi Yoji, right? That couldn't be possible, because that person clearly knew that Matsuda had already -
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
When several people in the room, including Conan and Mouri Kogoro who followed over, were looking at each other, someone knocked on Megure Juzo's office door again.
"It's really a rainy day when it rains... Please come in." Megure Jusan took a breath, tidied his appearance, and spoke loudly.
The man who walked in had a handsome appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Except for the dark circles under his eyes which made him look a little depressed, his image was consistent with everyone's stereotype of a policeman.
"Inspector Megure, huh?" Yuya Kazami showed his ID after he walked in, and said with a stern face, "We have received a notice that your department is investigating some confidential and sensitive information today. I came to inquire about the situation and to formally inform you that the public security department must be involved in the investigation of the next case..."
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
Almost as soon as the door closed behind him and he began to speak seriously, there was another knock on the door.
"...Tsk, there are some things you can't just say." Megure Jusan took a deeper breath and raised his voice again, "Come in!"
Yuya Kazami quickly closed the certificate in his hand and was considering whether to take a few steps back to reduce his presence when he heard a voice that made his liver shake instinctively.
"Good afternoon, Inspector Megure. Is this Mr. Toru Adachi an employee of your company? He came to me today and said he hoped I could help him with something..."
