Feeling someone kicking him mercilessly on the knee, Matsuda Jinpei used the force of being grabbed by the collar to lean back and barely avoided the bullet.

The hand that was gripping the back of his neck loosened.

Matsuda Jinpei, who fell to the ground, saw Koizumi standing behind him, holding her shotgun in her hand, her finger on the trigger.

Matsuda Jinpei's heart suddenly sank, and he blurted out, "Don't shoot, be careful of the bomb!"

Koizumi's heart skipped a beat when he was frightened by Matsuda Jinpei's shout.

Oops, she almost forgot in her panic that this was not the place she had just come from. The thing next to the masked man might be a real thing!

She almost shot him just now!

Suddenly seeing Koizumi appear in front of him, the masked man's gun hand trembled and his pupils trembled.

How come Sakurai Izumi is here?

She clearly led people to the western suburbs!

Did she see through his plan?

Or has he discovered her true identity?

When the masked man saw the shotgun in Koizumi's hand ready to fire, he was so scared that he almost shouted like Jinpei Matsuda. He cursed in his heart and turned around to run away.

Hearing the chaotic footsteps approaching quickly in the corridor, Koizumi knew that it must be the three people led by Furuya Rei who were coming.

She turned her wrist and put away the shotgun. She ignored the masked man who was escaping, and ignored Jinpei Matsuda who was still lying on the ground. She walked directly to the table where the bomb was placed, lowered her head and examined it carefully.

Just from the appearance, it is exactly the same as the fake one from Hagiwara, there is no difference at all.

She really couldn't tell the difference anyway.

The electronic display screen has been opened, and the output port below has the same structure.

That is to say, it is still something that can be solved with a piece of chewing gum.

Oh, that's no problem.

Even if the timer starts immediately, she can handle it!

Seeing that Koizumi was actually checking the internal structure of the explosive device and looked like he was going to dismantle it himself, Matsuda Jinpei became anxious and shouted, "Hey, Sakurai, stay away from that thing!"

Upon hearing Matsuda Jinpei's ruthless and fierce tone, Koizumi suddenly felt a little unhappy.

It’s not like I don’t understand at all!

I'm not here to cause trouble!

However, as soon as her eyes rolled, she came up with a clever idea.

...Oh, well, I'll do as you wish and cause trouble for you this once.

Jinpei Matsuda, I'm going to scare you to death!

Just as Matsuda Jinpei stood up and looked away, the explosive device on the table flashed and returned to its original place.

At this time, Furuya Rei, Morobushi Kagemitsu and Date Kou rushed in from the entrance.

"Matsuda!"

"Sakurai?!"

Seeing that Matsuda Jinpei was safe and sound, Fūya Rei finally breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to press his chest which was still beating violently.

"Sakurai, why are you..."

However, Koizumi ignored them, just glanced at the four people, turned around and left from another exit of the room.

Furuya Rei, Morobushi Kagemitsu, and Date Kou were all confused, but Matsuda Jinpei had already realized what was going on: "She went after that guy!"

"Defend Matsuda!"

Furukaya Rei shouted and chased after him.

Zhu Fu Jingguang gestured with the gun in his hand to Date Kou, who understood, nodded to him, and ran after Furuya Rei.

"Do not……"

Matsuda Jinpei was about to say that there was no need to guard him, when he saw Zhu Fu Jingguang's face suddenly change drastically, pointing at the explosive device on the table and shouting: "Matsuda!"

Matsuda Jinpei's heart suddenly froze for a moment, he turned around and saw the thing on the table. He didn't know when the electronic display screen suddenly lit up silently.

The red numbers were jumping, just like the sword of Damocles hanging over the head.

Time remaining: 1 minute 23 seconds.

You still have time!

Matsuda Jinpei rushed over without saying a word and prepared to continue defusing the bomb, shouting loudly: "Zhu Fu, notify ..."

He originally wanted to ask Zhu Fu Jingguang to notify the other three people to evacuate the building immediately to prevent them from being killed by the bomb, but he was suddenly stuck in the middle of his words.

……wrong!

When he was designing the trap just now, he had clearly opened the electronic screen, but the one in front of him was still intact, as if it had never been handled.

what happened?

Could it be that when he didn't notice it just now, the masked man or Sakurai put the electronic panel back?

No, it couldn't be the masked man.

He kept a close eye on the guy the whole time, and that guy had absolutely no chance to do anything.

It could only be Sakurai, just now the moment he got up from the ground!

Matsuda Jinpei quickly flipped up the electronic screen again.

……what?

He remembered clearly that he had cut the two wires in order to set the trap.

But at this moment, the circuits in the device were neatly arranged, just like when he first saw it, intact, with no signs of having been touched at all.

Even if Sakurai can quickly put the panel back, can she reconnect the cut wires?

Matsuda Jinpei:......

Staring at the incredible scene in front of him, he suddenly said, "Zhu Fu, hit me."

Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned.

Matsuda Jinpei: "Hurry up, I can't do it to myself."

Zhu Fu Jingguang:...

Although he had no idea what Matsuda Jinpei was doing, he still imitated Hagiwara Kenji's daily actions and raised his hand to slap him on the back of the head.

"hiss--"

Matsuda Jinpei rubbed his head without turning his head: "It's not an illusion."

He remembered Koizumi's action of touching the bomb just now.

Could it be that it was refreshed by Sakurai?

Sakurai gave him a new bomb that he hadn't defused yet?

impossible.

Then he thought about the missed call that had suddenly affected his performance, and Sakurai who suddenly appeared behind him...

Jinpei Matsuda felt that he understood.

He felt his pocket and found that one of the five-yen coins was missing.

He took out his cell phone again and saw a missed call from Hagiwara and a new email.

[We were provoked by a bomber today, but it was a fake bomb. Sakurai was worried that something might happen to you, so he went to look for you. After you see the email, please reply to let me know that you are safe.]

Matsuda Jinpei:......

Enter [Ping An] and send.

Then, he put away his phone, looked at the big guy in front of him speechlessly, and gritted his teeth.

Hey Sakurai!

Even though my tone was a little harsh when I warned you just now, it was because I was scared by your action of aiming the shotgun at the bomb!

How dare you use a fake product to trick me?

However, since you are willing to take this thing out, it means you have really been fooled by it, right?

Okay, okay, I want to see how this weirdo scared you and Hagiwara!

Zhufushi Jingguang looked at Matsuda Jinpei.

After being slapped by him, this guy suddenly began to sneer at the time bomb in front of him, as if his brain had gone blank, and he completely lost his sense of tension and urgency.

The fact that Jinpei Matsuda did not immediately order them to evacuate the building was very wrong.

Generally speaking, there can only be one reason for this to happen in this scenario, and that is...

Matsuda was certain that the bomb would not explode.

However, even for experienced veterans, it is impossible to guarantee a 100% success rate in bomb disposal.

So why is Matsuda so sure?

As Morifushi Kagemitsu was thinking, he heard Matsuda Jinpei say, "Morifushi, I'm fine here, go support the squad leader and Furuya... and that stinky cat."

Zhu Fu Jingguang:...

Look at Matsuda's seemingly calm but actually angry expression, and you will understand.

It's unclear why, but he's definitely angry with Sakurai again.

After a pause, Matsuda Jinpei gritted his teeth and added: "Heh, if she can't catch that masked bastard today, I will never let her go!"
