All the personnel had been evacuated within 3 minutes. Yajima Yajima was panting slightly from running for a long distance in high heels, and stood at a far away place, looking at the restaurant.

To be precise, the countdown to the explosion time is 15 seconds.

"Oh my God, how could I be so unlucky to encounter such a thing!" The owner of the restaurant stood beside him, frowning tightly, screaming, feeling sorry for her high-end restaurant that might soon be razed to the ground .When she came out, she grabbed a large amount of money at the cashier and stuffed it into her pocket. Mi Xia saw what a typical "money is not life" is.

Misha raised her hands to cover her ears to prevent the eardrums from being shattered by the deafening explosion. Then she immediately remembered something and signaled Akashi to cover her ears as well.

"Explosion. The sound of the explosion will be very loud." Seeing that Akashi didn't move for a while, she directly grabbed his hand and pressed it to his ear, saying, "Cover tightly."

Shota Sawai, who was also standing beside him, raised his eyebrows, and he was naturally ignored again.

15 seconds later, Mika Yajima, who thought she would see an explosion with her own eyes, saw nothing.There was no deafening sound or gunpowder smoke filling the air, and the restaurant still kept its original appearance intact, as if nothing had happened.

Everyone had doubts in their eyes, and after waiting for another 2 minutes, Mi Xia turned to look at the boss, frowning slightly.

"Miss Police Officer, I swear! We really received a call, and the other party said that it would explode within 3 minutes!" The boss said excitedly, and raised his right hand as a gesture of swearing.

Indeed, there is no need for a restaurateur to fool a group of customers, this is a matter of branding.

Mi Xia thought for a while and asked, "Did the other party call the landline in the shop?"

"No, it's my phone." The male waiter who was shouting in the store just now quickly handed over the phone.

She dug out the call records to find out the number of the most recent call and called back. She heard a mechanical and cold female voice, and the other party was already turned off at the moment.

Mi Xia stuffed the phone back into his hand, intending to go up to find out.Just as he took a step, Akashi grabbed his wrist by his side, "Don't go there, wait for the police to come."

After the incident, someone had already called the police. The Metropolitan Police Department is not very far from here. It is estimated that the siren will sound on the street soon.

Mixia was too lazy to say "I'm the policeman" anymore, and answered simply and directly: "90.00% is a prank, it won't explode."

"There's still a [-]% chance, it's not a prank." Akashi didn't refute the unreliable data she got from who didn't know where, but just didn't let her go.

At this time, Sawai Shota, who had been silent all this time, took her other arm, narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Miss Police Officer, you must cherish life, I don't want to lose such an interesting fiancée candidate."

According to the general routine in the circle, after the two parties meet and there is no great rejection, they can settle the marriage, and then use the name of a fiancé couple to fine-tune their relationship.It was understandable for him to say that, but the target was Yajima Yasha who had no interest in this blind date.

Mi Xia: "..." Let go, I don't know you well.

But now she didn't intend to raise an argument, she just broke away from his pull without saying a word.

Shota Sawai raised his eyebrows and glanced at Akashi's hand that was still holding her wrist.These two, this action is too natural.Or, are they already used to being intimate with each other, that's why they seem so natural?

But what is certain is that the two are not a couple.

At this moment, everyone's eyes are fixed on the high-end restaurant with a golden door sign shining in the daylight, only Shota Sawai, who has been staring at Yajima Mika's side face, raised his hand and touched his chin, as if he was thinking about something .

Mixia, who was extremely sensitive to the actions of the people around her, turned her head and met his gaze.

"Does Sawai-san like to keep looking at people's faces?" she asked.

"I don't know what other people say, but if it's Ms. Yajima's face, I can keep staring at it." He said with a smile.

Yajima Yajima got goosebumps all over her body, turned her head, and simply ignored him.

Sawai didn't care about her cold reaction, but felt a gaze from her side, and laughed silently.

Now things seem to be getting more fun.

The police arrived on the scene soon, this time it was the combination of Sato and Takagi.And the posture was a bit big, the ambulance team and the bomb disposal squad all followed.The sound of sirens rang in the ears, and several police cars stopped at the gate of the incident.

"Eh? Are you sure there was an explosion here?" Takagi She got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"Who called the police? Is this the scene of the crime?" Sato asked the ambulance team carrying the stretcher to wait for a moment, then turned around and asked.

"I called the police." The restaurant owner stepped forward to her, "I received a call from a strange man earlier, saying that a bomb was installed in our restaurant and it would detonate within 3 minutes. "

However, nothing seems to have happened.

Sato stared at her sharply for a while, then glanced sideways, and found the acquaintance over there.

"Yajima, are you here too?"

Stepping on her high heels, Mi Xia approached slowly, "Senior, I'm here...for lunch." The word "blind date" was stunned, and those who didn't know would mistakenly think that she wished it sooner. get married.

Sato took a look at the solemn little dress on her body, nodded slightly, "What's the situation at the scene?"

"The explosion time has passed."Yajima Yajima glanced into the restaurant and replied, "It is not ruled out that this is a prank."

Sato was silent for a moment, and signaled to the bomb disposal squad behind him to go into the restaurant to check the situation, to see if any bombs had been installed.The professional and well-trained members of the bomb disposal squad quickly observed the entire restaurant to make sure that no hands or feet had been tampered with.

They followed into the restaurant, and were immediately attracted by the cards placed on the table in the middle.

This is a very ordinary card, which attracts people's attention because a line of words is printed in black bold font on the cover of the card-this is a letter from God.

There was no such card at the time of evacuation. From the beginning of the evacuation to the arrival of the police, only nearly 10 minutes passed.And she has been observing the situation of the restaurant from a distance before, and she can be sure that there is no movement around the restaurant while waiting for the explosion. The other party is probably still hiding nearby or even hiding somewhere in the restaurant.

When Mixia put her finger on the card, she confirmed her previous conjecture, "Senior, there is still temperature on it."

"Search the restaurant and the surrounding area again." Sato frowned, picked up the card, and said, "The other party should have left not long ago, and it is very likely that he is still wandering around."

Takagi led several police officers to start the search.

At the same time, Sato slowly unfolded the card in his hand——

[Stupid humans:

Appreciate the gorgeous fireworks that are about to bloom with me. This is a gift from God, and you should be grateful.

God stay]

Misha and Sato looked at each other, and both fell into silence.

The only thing that is certain is that the entire restaurant and the police have been tricked.The whole incident looks like a schizophrenic who regards himself as God is fooling his so-called "stupid human beings", so he specially called to remind him just to have fun seeing human beings panicking and running around in a mess?

However, things don't seem to be so simple to explain. If it is the fireworks that are about to bloom, will the place still be this restaurant?When everyone walked back to the restaurant with a sigh of relief?

But the bomb disposal squad has checked that there is no trace of installing a bomb, so it is only possible that it is another location.

At this moment, Miwako Sato's cell phone rang, and Misha saw that the caller was Meguro Shisan.

Even if there is no external speaker, Mu Mu Shisan's loud voice can be clearly transmitted through the mobile phone, "Sato, the rice flower restaurant on XX street just exploded. Hurry to the scene immediately."

This time, the location of the fireworks mentioned in the card is self-evident.

Rice Flower Restaurant is a chain restaurant, both of which are owned by the Akashi family. There were explosions in two branches one after another, and the interval between the two explosions was only a few days.This is not a coincidence, but someone is targeting the Akashi family, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Misha looked sideways at Akashi, his brows were slightly wrinkled, not knowing what he was thinking.

Akashi-kun......

Because of the incident, the criminal police from the third department were called back to the office on the rest day, and a case discussion meeting was held in the conference hall.

Mi Xia followed and participated in the search of the explosion scene, and before she had time to change into a simple attire, she stepped on high heels and wore a small dress to the conference hall.Memu Shisan and Shiratori Ren Saburo, who presided over the meeting, hadn't arrived yet, and the police officers who had already arrived sat down and waited for the meeting to start.

The male police officer beside him turned his head and asked her in a low voice: "Officer Yajima, did you just attend your friend's wedding ceremony?"

"Uh, no." Mixia looked down at the skirt on her body, thinking about it, it really seemed too solemn.

The male police officer wanted to say something else, but at this time Mumu and Shiratori had pushed open the door of the conference hall and walked in, "Ahem, the meeting is over."

Sato first circulated the photos of the explosion site.Although the explosion was in a small area, the two people closest to the explosion site died on the spot, and several other people who were affected were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

"This is the serial bombing case. The bombing incident centered on the Akashi family." Police officer Nakamura pinched the photo and first made a guess, "Did the Akashi family offend someone?"

"There is still that card." Takagi reported to his superiors, "It has been taken by colleagues in the forensics department to extract fingerprints."

Mu Mu Shisan nodded, "Send the result to my office immediately."

"Yes!"

Yajima Yajima grabbed a corner of the photo, sighed slightly, thinking: Fortunately, Akashi wasn't there at the time.

"The prisoner didn't wear gloves, and he didn't seem to be afraid that the police would extract his fingerprints. Could he be the kind of madman who retaliates against the society?" The panic in the whole society makes people remember him firmly."

Shiratori glanced at him speechlessly, "...Officer Endo, you must be good at writing novels."

Endo: "...Um, I'm just raising a possibility."

"For revenge, this reason is more likely." Nakamura took over the words, "Like the bombing case that threatened 1200 million hostages a year ago, wasn't the prisoner also motivated by revenge?"

The conference hall suddenly fell into a long silence.

This is probably a case that the entire Metropolitan Police Department is reluctant to bring up again.

Yajima Misha had heard about this case, and it caused a sensation in the whole society at that time. Two criminal policemen from the Explosives and Ordnance Disposal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department died in this bombing case.Mixia subconsciously looked at Asami Nanami from the Atomic Bomb and Explosive Disposal Team, and found that her fingers holding the photo were gradually tightening.

Nakamura also realized that he talked too fast for a while, so he pursed his lips and remained silent.

After a long silence, Meguro Shisan cleared his throat, "Old Mr. Akashi called, let us three departments protect the safety of Master Akashi, and always pay attention to all changes around Akashi's house." He looked around, It fell on Mixia, "Yajima, I will leave this matter to you, and report any situation as soon as possible."

Yajima Misha nodded, even if it wasn't the task assigned by her superiors, she would still protect Akashi-kun, because she told him that she would protect him.

It was already evening when the case discussion meeting was over.

After the meeting was over, Jian Jian Qihai still looked gloomy, Mixia patted her on the back of the head lightly, "Cheer up."

Qianjian was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, "Officer Yajima, how is the progress with the male god?"

"What progress?"

"Didn't he bring you home the day you were drunk?" Isn't it normal for lonely men and widows to have something happen to them?

Mi Xia thought for a while, "I played chess with him, and I was tortured miserably. I still haven't won a single game."

Jian Jianyu paused, "Playing...playing chess? You guys are in great spirits."

"Well, I don't have much interest in playing chess, but I think Akashi-kun looks lonely, so I want to accompany him." Thinking of the silhouette of Akashi playing chess alone that day, she felt panicked, "Playing chess alone, How boring."

Asami faltered and said: "Officer Yajima, you..." You like it, will I believe it?

However, before she could speak, Mixia had already gone downstairs to the parking lot.

Qian Jian murmured: "Oh, Officer Yajima, the male god will run away if he doesn't hold on to it firmly."

She sighed and turned sideways, ready to go to the desk to get the car keys, but turned around and saw Ren Tanaka.He held a few documents sent to the third department in his hand, and stared at her closely with a pair of eyes. The resentful eyes probably heard the conversation between her and Yajima Yajima just now.

"Where are you from?" Tanaka Ren asked calmly.

"This..." Qian Jian Qihai laughed twice, "Ah Ren, although I am your friend, I am also a woman."

As a woman, of course she is on the side of the male god.

"......What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, let's talk next time!" Qianjian Qihai quickly grabbed the car keys on the desk, and immediately ran down to the parking lot.

Misha sent an email to Akashi: Have dinner together at night?

He quickly replied: Well, I'm in the company.

"Going to the office building?" Asahi asked her as she drove the car out of the parking lot.

"The explosion happened again today. I'm afraid that something will happen to Akashi-kun. Let's send him home safely today."

Qianjian stared at her feet, and said worriedly: "But are your feet okay? They look red and swollen."

After being reminded by her, Yajima Yajima felt the pain in her ankle belatedly.Usually she is used to wearing flat shoes, but today she is sore and numb when she is running and coming and going to participate in the on-site investigation while stepping on such high heels.

"It's a small matter, it's totally fine." She made an ok gesture.

Qian Jian put her down in front of the office building and asked her to walk slowly several times before driving away.

Mi Xia thought for a while, then slowly moved to the noodle restaurant downstairs, and packed two bowls of ramen noodles.

After taking the elevator to the floor, the assistant took her directly into the office.Pushing open the door, she saw Akashi sitting on the sofa, with a stack of documents on his desk, and the computer screen was still on.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Seeing her coming in, Akashi concealed the tiredness between his brows and prepared to get up.

"I bought ramen, let's eat here." She raised the two takeaways in her hand, walked over slowly and sat down, "Eating noodles will make you feel better."

Akashi did not deny that he was really in a bad mood, he apologized to the family of the deceased, compensated, and the restaurant that exploded had to resume business as soon as possible, there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.Most importantly, he hasn't figured out who is targeting the Akashi family.

Misha gently pushed a bowl of ramen in front of him, "Did Uncle Akashi say something about the explosion?"

Akashi picked up the chopsticks, "Father is in New York, so he can't come back, let me take care of things here."

Although he tried his best to conceal the tiredness between his brows, Mi Xia still felt that he must be very tired, right?

She looked at him and couldn't help saying: "Go to sleep well at night, and then deal with those things after a good rest. I'll take you home after dinner."

"Send me home?" Akashi looked sideways, "Yajima, did you say the wrong thing?" She regarded her as a protected object, and now she said that she would send him home, does he look so weak?

"Protect you, as I said." Misha spared a chopstick to ramen noodles with the tip of her chopsticks, and said, "A lot of things have happened recently, these days are a sensitive period, I must ensure your safety, this is what my superiors gave me order." Of course it was her own selfishness.

Akashi didn't speak, anyway, the feeling of being her focus is not annoying.

"Akashi-kun, let's have dinner together for the next few days, and I'll take you home after dinner." She was thinking about her protection plan in her mind, "I'll only be at ease when you get home safely."

"Yeah." He didn't refuse the proposal. It's much better for two people to eat together than to eat box lunch alone.

After eating and staying in the office for about half an hour, Akashi packed up the documents and prepared to leave.

"Yajima, I still have your clothes and shoes, do you want to go get them now?" He asked after turning off the lights.

"Well, go get it." If she didn't change the high heels, her feet would be swollen into trotters, it was too sore.

Akashi took a few steps and found that the people behind him hadn't followed.

Turning around, she saw that her palms were touching the wall, and she was moving slowly.The speed is not very slow, but it is a lot worse than him.His pace was a bit big, and she couldn't catch up with his speed for a moment.

"The foot hurts?" He had already noticed that it was red and swollen, thinking that she had been running around in high heels today, and her ankle had been tossed all day.

"It's okay, why don't you drive first? I'll be down right away."

Misha tried to coax Akashi into the parking lot, because she was going to take off her high heels and walk barefoot, but she didn't want him to see her indecent behavior.

Akashi stood there without moving, watching her bend over and tap her sore calf, so he walked over.

He helped her take off her shoes, then held the high heels in his hand, then bent down to lift her up into the air, a series of movements without hesitation, strong and decisive.

Yajima Yasha froze for a moment, staring at his side face.

Akashi turned her head slightly, she couldn't see the emotion in his eyes clearly, but heard him say: "Before protecting me, learn to love yourself first."
