At this moment, the atmosphere outside the Tokyo Tower was unusually solemn.
The police had completely cordoned off the scene, keeping all the onlookers out of the safe zone. Only the EOD team was still inside.
As for the nosy media, they were also mercilessly blocked out by the police. Although they protested loudly about the "right to know", the Metropolitan Police Department did not give them any face.
"This is a case, not a show! If the criminal knows about the content of your live broadcast, it's equivalent to exposing the progress of our police search. If the criminal causes trouble because of your live broadcast, you're his accomplices! "
After receiving Fangzheng's reminder, the Metropolitan Police Department stiffened up and rebuked the group of reporters. In fact, they were also angry. After all, it was the media that caused this incident in the first place. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Fangzheng also told them to stop all media interviews and control all those who knew about the case. Of course, this method could easily cause resentment if it wasn't appropriate, but for the Metropolitan Police Department...
I've already been criticized by the media so many times. Why would I be afraid of one more time?
Didn't you always say that the police are incompetent, and even praised a high school student as the savior of the Japanese police?
Get lost!
As long as they could finally catch the criminal and find the other bomb, they would be able to answer to the public. But on the other hand, if the criminal caused them to fail because of the media report, the stupid reporters would never think that they were responsible for it. They would only publicize the incompetence of the police again.
With that in mind, the Metropolitan Police Department felt better. As long as the result was good, everything was fine. If the result was bad, cooperating with the media would be useless. It was better to block the information and increase the chances of catching the criminal.
At the scene at the moment...
"What? There's no way to defuse the bomb? Why? "
Hearing Yoko Okino's voice coming from the walkie-talkie, the EOD team suddenly became anxious. There was another person with the same pale face. That was Officer Sato.
She has been brooding about what happened three years ago, so she immediately drove to Tokyo Tower after getting the news. In fact, before this, Officer Sato has always had an ominous premonition, but now, this premonition seems to have come true.
"Mr. Fangzheng, what are you doing?!"
At this moment, Officer Sato also grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted.
"Quickly defuse the bomb!"
"Yo, Officer Sato, long time no see."
Fangzheng's voice could be faintly heard from the other side of the walkie-talkie, and he seemed rather relaxed.
"How have you been recently?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Why didn't you remove the bomb?!"
"Officer Sato, you've guessed it too. This is all a trap."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Officer Sato's heart sank to the bottom.
"Could it be …"
"Brave police officer, I really have to praise your courage. After this game, there will be a large fireworks display. Three seconds before the explosion, you will see my notification, wishing you success. Well, look, Officer Sato, this is indeed a trap."
"…"
At this moment, Officer Sato held the walkie-talkie but couldn't say a word.
It was exactly the same as it was three years ago. The other party wasn't worried that the police would dismantle the bomb, because he would make the police give up on dismantling the bomb himself … .that bastard!
"Don't worry, Officer Sato, we'll stay here until the last moment and tell you the notification. By the way, don't forget to sing karaoke with us next time. Don't worry, there's still time. "
"But …."
Hearing Fangzheng's relaxed tone, Officer Sato's heart sank.
Will it really go so smoothly?
"Mr. Fangzheng."
Turning off the walkie-talkie, Yoko Okuno looked at Fangzheng.
"Is this really okay?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Yoko, for dragging you into this."
"No, it's okay. I'm a police officer after all. This is my duty."
Yoko Okuno shook her head and replied with a trembling voice.
Hmph, duty?
Saburo sneered when he heard the voice from the earpiece. That's why the police are so stupid. But that's why this game is interesting.
Then, let me enjoy the beautiful fireworks that are about to arrive.
While thinking, Saburo raised his head. But at that moment … he suddenly felt a violent impact. Four or five plainclothes police officers immediately emerged from the crowd around him and pinned him to the ground.
"Saburo Nakata! You're under arrest! "
“？？？”
Before Saburo could react, he saw the police handcuff his wrists, and then lifted him up.
"We're arresting you on suspicion of planting a bomb and attacking a police officer!"
"You, where did you come from?"
Looking at the police officers surrounding him from all directions, Saburo's expression changed drastically. He suddenly trembled.
"Don't touch me! I'm the only one who knows how to defuse a bomb. Do you want to see your companion get killed? "
"Huh? What the hell are you talking about? "
However, as soon as Saburo's voice trailed off, he heard a sarcastic voice. He turned his head and saw Fangzheng and Yoko Okuno standing not far away. The former was holding a listening device in her hand and looking at him with a grin.
"How come … .Where's the bomb?"
"The bomb? Of course we defused it. "
Fangzheng chuckled.
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to be more stupid than we thought. You didn't even change your clothes or disguise yourself before coming here to watch the show. It seems that you're really confident in your setup … Well, it looks like we don't need to crack the password anymore. Come on, tell us where you put the other bomb."
That's right. Just as Fangzheng said, they had defused the bomb after making sure that the plainclothes police officers had surrounded Saburo. The conversation that followed was all acting.
That's right, acting!
After all, if Saburo knew that the bomb had been defused, he might do something dangerous out of desperation. So, Fangzheng and Yoko Okuno put on an impromptu show to delay the other party. After all, with the perverted mentality of the criminal, he would definitely be satisfied to watch the Tokyo Tower blow up before going to the second place.
It might be difficult for an ordinary police officer to do that, but Yoko Okuno was a professional. With just a few words, she vividly portrayed the image of a police officer who was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the people in a dangerous situation. Even if Saburo were to monitor them directly through the camera, he would never be able to see through Yoko Okuno's act, let alone eavesdropping through a listening device.
That's what it means to be a professional! (Tactical Tilt)
"Dream on."
Saburo, who was caught, gave up on his fantasy. He looked at Fangzheng with a ferocious smile.
"The bomb is going to explode in two hours. Even if I don't tell you, what can you do to me?"
However, what Saburo did not expect was that as soon as he said that, the surrounding police officers laughed and looked at him like they were watching a good show. As for Fangzheng, he shrugged and waved his hand.
"Come, bring me the map."
Soon, after hearing Fangzheng's words, two police officers immediately took out a map of Tokyo and placed it in front of Fangzheng. Then, Fangzheng's finger began to draw circles on the map.
"Come on, be a good boy and tell the police where you put the bomb."
"… Hmph!"
Looking at Fangzheng, Saburo snorted coldly and did not reply.
Does he think I'm a three-year-old child with this kind of questioning method?
"Is it here? Or here? Or here? "
As he spoke, the circle Fangzheng drew on the map became smaller and smaller. Although Saburo still gritted his teeth and did not say a word, he could not help but feel nervous deep down. Because Saburo found that the other party was getting closer and closer to the location of his second bomb ….
Wait, he can't know. This must be just a coincidence! He's just trying to trick me. Don't panic, don't panic!
Although that was what he told himself in his heart, Saburo's eyes could not help following the slow movement of Fangzheng's finger. The moment he saw Fangzheng's finger pointing at the location, the uneasiness and nervousness in his heart reached its limit. However, the next moment, Saburo found that Fangzheng's finger swept past that location and continued downward. This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, he's tricking me! I won't fall for it!
But while Saburo was feeling proud of himself, Fangzheng put down his finger and looked at the police officer beside him.
"Sure enough, Didan High. Let the bomb disposal team do the bomb disposal."
"No, that's impossible. How did you know?!"
Saburo was dumbfounded. He could not understand. He had not said a word, so how did the other party know that he had placed the bomb in Didan High?
"You told me, of course."
Fangzheng glanced at Saburo, chuckled, and put away the map.
"Okay, let's go back to the Metropolitan Police Department. The pork chop rice there is delicious, and I believe everyone will treat you 'warmly'."
Saburo's face turned green as he looked at the 'warmly' police officers around him.
Saburo was dead meat if he went back. Although the police could not really torture him, Fangzheng knew that they had their own methods to deal with such people. For example, he could throw him to those "masters" in prison and let Nakata Saburo pick up soap for them. That would definitely make Nakata Saburo beg for death. Although it was not easy to give a death sentence according to Japanese criminal law, it was too easy to kill a criminal like Nakata Saburo, who attacked the police.
So, Saburo was "sent" to the Metropolitan Police Department by the police, while Fangzheng drove Yoko Okano home. News came from Didan High that the bomb had been defused. There was no problem with it. It was a happy ending.
"Thank you for your hard work this time, Miss Yoko."
While driving, Fangzheng said. Yoko Okano shook her head.
"No, it's nothing. Today's experience left a deep impression on me."
Yoko Okano hesitated for a moment.
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Fangzheng, I always thought that the Metropolitan Police Department would solve the case through that strange notice letter …."
That was indeed what Yoko Okano thought. After all, she had only ever worked as a detective before. She only had a few impressions of the police. Most of the time, they were mainly responsible for maintaining order or filming the scene …. Yoko Okano originally thought that if the police wanted to solve the case, they would have to read the mysterious notice letter and find clues from it.
But she did not expect that Fangzheng's method was not complicated at all. He just went straight to the point, forcefully pushing, searching, investigating, and questioning ….
"This is the daily life of a police officer. It's different from a detective."
"Although the notice letters of criminals have hidden meanings, reality is reality. We won't pin our hopes of solving a case on such a messy notice letter. What if the criminal wrote the notice letter at the time? Or was he deliberately diverting the police's investigation? It doesn't matter to the detectives. If their reasoning is wrong, so be it. At most, they'll just ruin their own reputation. After all, being a detective is just a hobby, but it's the police's duty to solve cases. There's no room for mistakes. After all, the police's duty is to maintain public order and arrest criminals. "
"Hmm … I understand."
Yoko Okano nodded. Although she did not sleep last night, she could vaguely feel the feelings of a police officer. It was a kind of friendship that was different from other professions. It was like a comrade-in-arms. Even though Yoko Okano had only experienced it for a day, she still had a deep impression of it.
But Fangzheng's next words surprised Yoko Okano.
"But now I've decided not to make a TV series for the time being."
"Huh? Why? Mr. Fangzheng. "
Upon hearing this, Yoko Kono looked at Fangzheng in surprise.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Of course not. You did a perfect job in today's' audition '. You got 100 points. That's why I think … it's too much of a waste to make a TV series. I might as well make it into a movie. "
Fangzheng chuckled.
"Let's make a movie with this story as the theme and try to release it within a year! You're the female lead, so it might be tough. "
"That's not a problem. Please leave it to me, Mr. Fangzheng!"
Yoko Okano was excited. After all, for an actress, there was nothing more glorious than being the female lead in a movie.
As for Fangzheng, he also had his own views. With Japan's judicial procedures, it was impossible for the case to be completed in a year. He wanted to film the movie within a year and release it. Apart from using the case to boost viewership ratings, he also wanted to influence public opinion. After all, as long as Fangzheng portrayed the real Saburo Nakata in this movie, it would definitely stir up public opinion. It would be hard for the jury not to sentence him to death …
Now, the only problem left was …
Just how long is a year in this world … … ….
