In the elevator, Shiraishi defused the bomb.

After he found the place before, he sent the Q version assistant into another mask, and asked her to open it on her behalf and act when the opportunity was right - the FBI couldn't be trusted, in case they took advantage of Cologne's sleep and didn't move, and secretly pulled someone to do a physical examination, it would be troublesome.

So as soon as Akai Shuyi entered his ward, Shiraishi received relevant news.

In this way, the black cat has an "alibi", and in the eyes of some red parties, the mask will become two people.

In case the police or whoever plans to settle accounts in the future, they can blame one of them for all the illegal things, and the other is innocent.

After all, the crime of the mask left almost no evidence, only a bunch of witnesses, and in the case of two people who looked the same, the testimony of the eyewitnesses could not prove his guilt.

In this way, when the time comes to use masks in the future, there is no need to hide from the police, and there is no need to be targeted and interfered with by enthusiastic citizens because they are on the wanted notice......

"What's wrong?" Sato's voice came from the elevator below.

Although she couldn't climb to the top, she kept an eye on the movement and heard the sound of disassembly stopping.

Shiraishi waved his hand at her to indicate that it was okay, then picked up the bolt cutter and clicked a few more times at the wire that had been cut just now.

At this time, the explosive ordnance disposal team was still using the communication equipment just sent down to provide remote guidance on his bomb disposal business.

Bai Shi was distracted just now and dismantled too quickly, and it couldn't match their progress, so he could only stop and wait for a while.

Sato heard the sound of the bomb disposal and continued, relieved himself a little, and continued to flip through the bomb atlas he had just gotten...... Although she can't really understand it, if she doesn't do anything, she really can't feel at ease.

However, as the minutes ticked by, and nearly ten minutes before the explosion, her worst fears still happened.

Matsuda above stopped his movements again, and said in a hoarse voice: "There are words." ”

Maybe it's because his voice isn't good today, he didn't say much.

But Sato immediately understood what he meant, and after being stunned for a moment, his whole body was cold, and he asked calmly: "...... What word? ”

"Brave cop ......" Matsuda didn't finish reading it all, but after pausing for a few seconds, he only picked out the key words with great effort, "3 seconds before the explosion, there will be other hints." ”

Ever since he heard Matsuda Jinhei read this passage three years ago, Sato has almost had a psychological shadow on the "brave policeman".

Now Matsuda Kuroha was jumping and reading, which made her feel a little better, but she still immediately understood the meaning of the string of words—the bomber had indeed used the same method again.

Her mind went blank, but she could still think, and seemed to be more focused than usual.

Sato, with the calmness that shouldn't have appeared in this situation, asked about the remaining countdown of the Shiraishi bomb, and immediately had an idea after learning that there were still a few minutes.

The communication equipment was taken up by Shiraishi, and Sato did not have the contact information of the rescue team, so she said to it:

"Have them send a couple of mirrors and the corresponding fixtures down, reflect the bomb display to me, and you climb up the rope. As long as you stick to the edge of the wall and go up, it will not trigger the vibration, so there is no need for both people to stay in the ......"

"Toot".

Sato paused.

She first thought that the bomb was about to explode, and only realized after a moment that it was Matsuda who had cut off communication with the rescue team.

“……”

…… Cut off ???

"You ......" Sato looked puzzled, not knowing what this operation was.

She thought that Matsuda might make the same sacrifice as his brother, or that he might defuse the bomb indifferently despite the threat...... Either way, there's no need to cut off the call.

She looked up a little dazedly, and found that Matsuda was leaning over her knees and looking at her in a relaxed manner.

After staring at each other for a moment, he asked in that tearing voice, "How do you feel now?" ”

…… What do you think?

This question came out inexplicably, and Matsuda's actions were inexplicable.

But this sentence seemed to stir the floodgates hidden in her mind, and the thoughts that Sato had forcibly suppressed just now instantly reversed, and she unconsciously thought about it along with the question.

Since three years ago, every time Sato thinks of the person who has the ability to defuse the bomb, but can only watch himself being killed, he doesn't dare to speculate about what his mood is.

But now, really standing in the same situation, Sato found that although he was unwilling at this time and hated the bomber, everything was not as unbearable as he imagined.

In the eyes of others, it is very painful and difficult, but it is the result of walking out step by step and following traces. At this time, she seemed to suddenly understand those heroes who sacrificed willingly. Those people may not have died with simple hatred when they died, but they still had hope and comfort in their hearts, thinking of those who would have survived because of their sacrifices.

…… She understands everything.

But this did not prevent Sato from suddenly wanting to cry. Tears had already accumulated in the corners of her eyes, but she remembered that there was a junior in front of her, and tried to endure it again.

"At the moment of making a choice, the positive emotions will prevail over the negative, and if it is the other way around, they are really so afraid of death, they will not choose this path."

Matsuda Kuroha looked down at her and said in his hoarse voice that was not healing at all but a little depressed, "You should miss them, and you can avenge them, but you don't need to feel the extra pain for them, they probably want the survivors to live better." ”

“…… That's right. Miwako Sato lowered her head, wiped her eyes fiercely, and then raised her head viciously:

"So you climb out for me first! The problem that can be solved by one person has to pay one more person, and my negative emotions absolutely overwhelm the positive, and I am dying! Don't you know how to count! ”

After being pointed at and scolded by her, Matsuda, who had been sitting firmly on it, finally moved.

But instead of connecting to the rescue team, he grabbed the roof of the elevator with one hand and flipped it down very lightly.

By the time Sato recovered from his intense emotions, he had already landed silently in the elevator.

“？” Sato was shocked.

Was that call just now?

Or did Matsuda Kuroha mean when he said those words, not to comfort her, but to experience the feeling of sacrifice in the first place??

…… This script is not right, shouldn't he live with humiliation and burden, avenge his brother and his brother's colleagues, catch the bomber and send him to prison.

"There are bugs next to the bomb, and if I leave, the bomber will hear the wrong movement and it may detonate directly." Matsuda explained simply.

Sato was shocked and lost his voice after a moment before he said, "You're not a policeman, he shouldn't target you...... And now that you're down too, who's going to read the hints?! ”

Isn't this a dead death?

Sato thought in hindsight at this time, Matsuda Kuroha may not be as calm as he faced, maybe he has already lost the ability to think, but he has never found out......

It may be that her regretful eyes are too straightforward.

Matsuda Kuroha was silent for a moment, then took out his own mobile phone and pressed it a few times: "I can flip it up once without triggering the mercury rod, and I can flip it two or three times again, in short, ......"

As he spoke, he flipped the screen of his phone over, and a line was written in the memo:

[Don't be nervous,

Everything you are worried about will be solved]
