Chapter 4 Seat No. 72 of the Knights of the Round Table

"Today is January 6th. You will receive strange faxes when searching for a lesson." "Yes, I don't know what this year will be. It won't be 0?" Two policemen were talking about boring gossip when they passed by searching for a lesson, and just happened to be heard by Matsuda.

January 6th? A difficult journey to challenge fate. Matsuda only remembers that there is such a thing, but how can I remember the specific days? I suddenly know that it is today and I really have no mental preparations.

"Matsuda?" Sato happened to open the door of the lesson and saw Matsuda outside: "Do you know what time is now?"

"Ah?" Matsuda came to his senses: "Am I late?"

"No." Yumi suddenly emerged from behind Matsuda, revealing her head: "It's just in time for lunch."

"So you can have lunch so early." Matsuda said with a smile: "The treatment of the Ministry of Transport is so good. Now, Yumi, let's take me to lunch."

"Hehe. You are really shameless." Yumi pushed Matsuda into a lesson.

"Hey, it's a shame to say that." Matsuda wanted to say something to Yumi, and Sato had already closed the door.

"Prepare, we're going to catch people." Sato said to Matsuda: "There's still not to mess with Yumi."

"Yes, yes." Matsuda asked, "Who are you going to catch?"

"This is his information." Sato handed Matsuda a file.

After flipping through two pages casually, Matsuda said, "This old man is still a suspect? You go by yourself, I won't go." He gave it to Sato casually, and then walked towards his desk by himself.

"What? Stop it!" Sato roared angrily: "Are you still treating yourself as a detective?"

The uncles in the first class all began to look at this place. As long as Matsuda had any rash moves, they would rush up to kill him.

"Is it difficult to catch an old man? You can do it yourself. What I care more about is something else than that." Matsuda said without anyone else.

"Hmph, what is more important than work?" Sato clenched his fists and determined that this was Matsuda's refusal.

"Three years ago, 3 years ago, 2 years ago, 1 last year. So what will the fax receive this year?" leaned against the table and lit a cigarette for himself, Matsuda continued, "It should be something special. I hope these numbers are countdowns on the bomb timer. That person should also surface."

"Who are you talking about?" Sato asked.

At this time, Shirato Ren Saburo pushed the door and held a copy paper in his hand. Seeing Sato standing at the door, he was stunned at first, then apologized to Sato and went to Memu Police Department.

"Police Department, today's fax is sent."

"Digital fax?" Meguchi first glanced at Matsuda and said, "So what is the number this year?"

"Not a number." said Shirago, "This year is a passage. I am the Knight of the Round Table... to the stupid and cunning police officers... At 14 o'clock today, I will release fireworks to mourn the heads of comrades... If you want to stop it... come to my place... I will empty the seat No. 72 waiting!"

"What does this mean?" Megu asked the White Bird.

"The Crime Preview Letter," said Matsuda. "The mouse really stuck its head out. Now it's enough to catch it. So, where is the disc-shaped thing in Tokyo with seventy-two locations?"

"Have you cracked it?" Megu asked Matsuda in surprise.

"A very clear reminder." Matsuda pinched off the cigarette: "The fireworks that mourn the head of the comrades-in-arms should be bombs. The Knight of the Round Table waiting in the 72 seats, the disc-shaped 72 seats, are there?" Then he laughed mockingly: "I'm not very familiar with Tokyo, but I think it should be something like the Ferris wheel. In a crowded place, otherwise how can I mourn his comrades-in-arms."

"That's near Kuroto Mall." Shirato said: "It's the largest Ferris wheel in Tokyo, and Kuroto Mall is the largest mall in Japan."

"What are you doing?" Sato was waiting for Matsuda in the car. "We don't have much time."

"It's dangerous to go to play with the Ferris wheel." Matsuda patted the bag in his hand: "So I'll prepare some things." As he said that, he got into the car and sat down: "So quickly catch up with them."

When Matsuda and the others arrived at the Ferris wheel, the scene was already in chaos and black smoke was emitting from the control room.

"Police...what's going on?" Sato got out of the car and rushed to a staff member, took out his police officer's certificate.

"The console suddenly exploded, the viewing car could no longer stop, and we are working hard to evacuate passengers." The staff member said in panic.

"Hey, where is No. 72 now?" Matsuda interrupted and asked the staff member.

The staff looked at the Ferris wheel and pointed, "It's about to come down, that's the one."

Matsuda ran up, opened the door of No. 72, and looked at the situation inside.

"Matsuda..." Sato caught up with him and wanted to say something.

"The Knight of the Round Table was not inside, but it seemed that he had already arrived and left a gift." Matsuda went in and closed the door: "You don't have to come here anymore. Professional matters must be left to professionals."

"What major?" Sato yelled at Matsuda who was leaving.

"He was in the bomb disposal team of the Security Department's mobile team until last year." The Meguro police department who arrived later explained to Sato.

"Is it?" Sato looked at No. 72 in disbelief: "There is a bomb inside?"

"Matsuda cares so much about this matter. Could it be the suspect four years ago?" Shiraki looked at seat No. 72 with a complicated expression.

"Well, it should be the second police officer Ogihara Kenji who was also killed by the same prisoner with a bomb four years ago." The Meguro Police Department replied: "Matsuda has repeatedly proposed to transfer to a special murder team that specializes in bomb cases..."

"I heard that bombs were placed in two places at that time, one was demolished, and the other... the criminal is still unknown." Shirou recalled the case.

"The person in charge of the dismantling work was Matsuda Kazuohara Police. In order to calm down Matsuda, who was obsessed with this matter, the headquarters transferred him into the search class," said Megu.

"Don't say it." Sato lowered his head and clenched his fists hard: "It only takes more than ten minutes to rotate the Ferris wheel, and you must pull him down then."

Megu and Shiraki looked at Sato's trembling back and felt a silence in their hearts.

At this time, they heard a gunshot on their heads. When they looked up, they saw a shadow poking out from No. 72. It must have been Matsuda who shot and broke the glass.

What happened? When the three police officers wanted to understand the situation, with a "boom!", the control room exploded for the second time and the Ferris wheel stopped rotating.

No way? The three police officers were stunned. Megu would react first: "Go and put out the fire."

"Yes." Shiraki hurriedly ran to the console.

When Memu looked at Sato when he left, he sighed in his heart, but still said nothing.

Sato took out his cell phone and called Matsuda: "Matsuda, is it okay?"

"Well, people are fine, but there is a little trouble." Matsuda's laughter came from the phone: "Tell Meguro Police Department that if you want to see the complete me, don't try to make the Ferris wheel rotate."

"Why?" Sato asked anxiously: "There is a bomb next to you."

"It's this trouble," Matsuda said: "Mercury Mercury. The explosion just now activated the bomb's detonation switch. The subtle vibration can make the beads inside touch the line. If the beads touch the line, they will detonate. So don't let the Ferris wheel rotate."

"But what do you do?" Sato's tone was full of anxiety.

"The timer has five minutes left, and it's more than enough to remove the bomb." Matsuda was saying, and subtitles appeared on the bomb LCD screen: "Brave police officer... I sincerely praise your courage..."

"What? What are you talking about? Remove the bomb quickly." Sato shouted at his phone.

"... Another larger fireworks have not been set off yet... I will provide clues here three seconds before the explosion." Matsuda smiled after finishing reading: "This guy wanted to lock a policeman in from the beginning and play a game called Justice and Life. If you remove the bomb, you have to cut off the power. Then at 14 o'clock, a larger bomb will explode in a place we don't know."

"So that's the case. He detonated the control room after seeing you enter. He was watching nearby." Sato swept over the crowd gathering and tried to find the prisoner from the dense heads.

"It's useless." Matsuda said: "If I could find it so simply, I wouldn't be here, but I guessed another explosion site. Didn't the fax say 'The head of my comrades'? The Knight of the Round Table appeared in medieval Europe, and the knights wore a mask designed as a cross. Do you understand what?"

"The hospital on the map?" Sato answered uncertainly.

"Yes, but I don't know which hospital." Matsuda said: "Hey, that's it. I'm going to start working and contact me again."

"Matsuda?Matsuda?" Sato shouted at the hanging-up phone.

Matsuda sat cross-legged in the carriage, watching the bomb being put out to remove half of it. As long as the power is cut off, it will stop explode. The timer shows only four minutes.

Alas, being a policeman is really tiring. If it is cut off now, it will be despised for the rest of your life. Matsuda secretly laughed at himself, carefully checking in the package he brought with him. At the same time, he looked around and became angry again.

Damn it, I only remember that it was on a high place. I never noticed that this kind of Ferris wheel was supported by a little support. The movement a little more than a little more likely to cause mercury to vibrate. This kind of high-risk operation is quite difficult.
