Chapter 4 Chapter 2 The train runs in the night

The "Beidouxing No. 5" express sleeper train continued to travel north in the dark. Hashimoto, who was lying on the lower bunk of the second-class sleeper, was taken aback by the sudden opening of the curtain. At first he thought the passengers had made a mistake, but it turned out that the conductor was looking in. "I'm really sorry to disturb you late at night." The conductor in his fifties nodded slightly in apology. Hashimoto stood up from the berth and asked, "What's the matter?" "It's like this. Someone called and said that a bomb was installed on the train. It was probably a prank, but just in case, the inside of the train is being checked." The conductor said apologetically.

"Is anyone really doing such a prank?!" "Can I check?" "Ah, of course." Hashimoto quickly got off the berth. The conductor peeped into the berth, touched the underside of the pillow with his hand, and said with a smile: "Ah, all right. How rude." Hashimoto hadn't changed into pajamas at this time, so he went to inspect the compartments in the middle of the night. Probably his habit of being a criminal policeman in the first search department of the Metropolitan Police Department has reappeared. The phone claiming that a bomb had been planted on the train was, of course, a hoax, but he was still a little uneasy.

At the same time, he also wanted to observe the movements of Aida and Hamano Kaori. After Aida and Hamano left the public activity car, Hamano returned to the luxurious No. 2 room in the fourth car, and Aida entered the second-class single room in the same car. Compared with Grade A deluxe single rooms, Grade B single rooms do not have showers and toilets, but compared to the previous Grade A single sleepers, the bunks are larger and more comfortable, and there is a small bathroom. After entering the night, Aida will probably get into Kaori Hamano's luxurious private room. "If Aida had gone to Hamano's place early, they might have panicked over the bomb commotion."

With this interest in mind, Hashimoto walked towards the fourth carriage. There were many conversations among the passengers in the aisle, probably awakened by the commotion. The door of Kaori Hamano's luxurious private room No. 2 was closed, and no one seemed to have come out. "I am the conductor of this train, Yamashita." Suddenly the announcement sounded in the train. "I'm very sorry for waking everyone up in the middle of the night! The test results found nothing, and the call was just a prank. Please rest in peace." After the broadcast, the commotion in the car returned to tranquility.

The people in the passage also returned to their berths. Hashimoto didn't want to go back to his berth right away, so he walked into the No. 5 compartment of the public activity room. A young man and a young man were sitting on the sofa. As soon as Hashimoto came in, they glanced at him. There were only the two of them in the entire public event car. Hashimoto thought, they must have come here because they couldn't sleep because of the commotion just now.He bought a can of beer from the vending machine and sat down on a chair far from them. Hashimoto was not interested in young lovers like them, but the other party looked at him from time to time.

"What a strange couple." Hashimoto thought so, and suddenly recognized them. Both the man and the woman are wearing rough sweaters, and I didn’t recognize it at once. It turned out that the man was one of the young men in suits who were with Kizhimoto before, and the woman was the one in kimono like Kizhimoto’s lover. woman. Feeling strange, Hashimoto smiled secretly. Probably Kinomoto in the deluxe single room No. 1 had fallen asleep because of being very tired, so the woman came to the public event car for a tryst with one of his subordinates. Although Kinomoto claims to have superhuman abilities, he doesn't seem to be aware of his woman's frivolity.

To avoid their eyes, Hashimoto blocked the camera with his body and clicked the shutter. They may have noticed it, and the two stood up hurriedly, the woman walked to the No. 4 compartment, and the man walked to the dining car in the opposite direction. Hashimoto smiled wryly and looked at his watch. The time is 1:30 in the morning. It was pitch black outside the window, but from time to time you could see the lights of people in the distance. The conductor just came in and said: "Can't sleep?" "Yes, can you sit here for a while?" "Ah, yes." "Where is the train now?"

"Probably past Hanamaki," the conductor replied. "Do prank calls like the one just now happen often?" The conductor waved his hand and said: "Such a thing has never happened. This is the first time since the 'Big Dipper' train was in operation." Manager Koike put down the phone, smiled and said to Totsukawa: "There were no bombs on the train." "Is there no problem? Will it be missed?" Totsukawa asked in particular. "The staff of our company who got on the train from Sendai said that they cooperated with the train staff to conduct a thorough inspection of the train and received the assistance of the passengers. As a result of the inspection, no suspicious luggage was found." Koike replied.

"So, do you ignore the prisoner's request?" "Of course, there's absolutely no need to give him 100 million yuan just because of intimidation." "Then tell the Minister to withdraw?" "Yes, please contact him immediately." Xiaochi said. Totsukawa got in touch with Kusaka who was following him in a police car through the command room. "What's the situation now?" "Minister Tanaka's blue bird car is still driving, and now it is driving west from Koshu Road, and it is near Mingdae." "Is there a car following him?"

"The prisoner is giving instructions to Minister Tanaka through the phone of the Blue Bird car. Does anyone know who the owner of the car the prisoner is riding in?" "It was stolen. Can you contact Minister Tanaka?" "Come closer and you can make contact with the radio." "You tell Minister Tanaka to come back immediately." "what happened?" "The 'Big Dipper 5' train was inspected and no bombs were found." "Is the other party playing tricks?" "yes." "damn it!" "Therefore, there is no need to give him 100 million yuan."

"Understood. Can the prisoner be arrested now? The prisoner doesn't know that we have learned that there are no bombs on the train. He will definitely show up." "That's fine, but you have to get in touch with Minister Tanaka as soon as possible and tell him not to hand over 100 million yuan to the prisoner, and then pay attention to the prisoner's whereabouts." "Understood, I will definitely do it." Sun Xia happily agreed. After Totsukawa finished speaking, he told Koike about the contact. Xiaochi didn't agree or disagree, but only said the following: "No problem, right? You haven't handed over 100 million yuan to the prisoner yet, have you?" "It's not a problem to get in touch with Minister Tanaka. Even if you can't catch the prisoner, there will be no problem with 100 million yuan." "It would be great if that's the case." Xiaochi said. The camouflaged police car driven by Kusaka and Nishimoto approached the blue bird car in front. Nishimoto called with the radio transceiver in his hand: "Mr. Tanaka, did you hear that?" "Yes!" Tanaka replied. "It has been found out that there is no bomb installed on the 'Big Dipper 5' train!" "So, can I go back?" "Yes. But we want to arrest the criminal, please help." "How can I help? It's not okay if your life is in danger." "It's okay, the prisoner is observing the situation, and he will instruct you where to put the box containing 100 million yuan in a while. Then you can put the empty box in the place he designated, and then you can go back." "Is it that simple?" "Yes, when you hold the box, don't look very relaxed, at least pretend to have 13 kilograms of banknotes." "Understood." Kusaka and Nishimoto's cars moved a little further away from the Jade Bird's car. The blue bird car drove along Koshu Road to a place near Chofu, and made a 180-degree turn, which was probably the prisoner's instruction. Based on their criminal police experience, Kusaka and Nishimoto judged that the criminal was about to show up. The blue bird car suddenly turned right from Koshu Road. This is near Luhua Park. The Jade Bird car walked about 100 meters and stopped next to the baseball field. It seems to be some company's baseball field. At this time, there seems to be no one here.The stadium and the outbuildings were completely silent. Minister Tanaka got out of the car with his suitcase. The suitcase he was carrying seemed to be heavy, which is really superb acting.Kusaka and Nishimoto stopped the car and watched from afar. Tanaka put the suitcase on home plate and returned to the Jade Bird car. Tanaka drove the blue bird car and disappeared on Koshu Road. Kusaka and Nishimoto stepped out of the camouflaged police car and quietly approached the baseball field. As they walked, they drew the pistols in their underwear pockets. When they walked twelve or thirteen meters away from the stadium, they took cover. Five or six minutes passed. Suddenly, the sound of a motorcycle engine came from behind Kusaka and the others. A man in a black helmet held the handlebars and drove over. Motorbikes flew toward the field with a blaring noise and came to a stop at home plate. The cyclist got out of the car and picked up the suitcase. At this time, Kusaka and Nishimoto came out from the hiding place. "Hands up! Or you'll be shot!" Kusaka yelled, holding a pistol. The helmeted man put down his suitcase and slowly raised his hands. Xiben stepped forward and put his hands back, and quickly put handcuffs on him. The guy was silent. Nishimoto was surprised by this and felt a sense of unease.He slapped the opponent's back hard and ordered: "Walk!" Kusaka put the pistol back in his pocket and picked up the light suitcase. Nishimoto took the prisoner to the camouflaged police car and stuffed him into the back seat. Nishimoto reported to his superiors by wireless phone: "I'm Xiben. I arrested a prisoner who came to withdraw 100 million yuan near Luhua Park." Totsukawa's voice came from the command room: "Thank you. Has the other party resisted?" "There was no resistance, and he looked very depressed." Xiben said, looking at the prisoner sitting in the back seat. After returning with the suitcase, Hinoki reached out and took off the prisoner's helmet. This guy is in his 30s. He was pale, probably frightened of being arrested. Pointy nose, thin lips. "Did the prisoner say anything?" Totsukawa asked. "No, he didn't say a word. I'll take him back now," Nishimoto said. The prisoner was taken back to JR East Corporation. Minister Tanaka had already brought back the 100 million yuan. Totsukawa stared at the prisoner in front of him. He was small and thin, a little ugly, but he seemed to have a strong will. "What's your name?" Totsukawa asked. "I am a member of March Three." These were the first words he uttered after his arrest. "His voice is the same as the voice on the phone." Totsukawa thought to himself, and asked, "Are there any accomplices?" "Of course there is." "Why do you do such a stupid thing?" Manager Koike asked this question from the side, and the prisoner stared back and said: "Are you Manager Koike of JR East?" "yes." "Just now you asked me why I did such a stupid thing, and now I'll reply you with the same words. Do you think everything will be fine if you arrest me?" The prisoner said, staring at Xiaochi intently. "What do you want to do?" "You should understand. As I said, if you don't hand over 100 million yuan, I, no, we will blow up the running 'Big Dipper No. 5' train, and now we will put it into practice." "Stop talking nonsense. No matter how hard we checked, we didn't find a bomb on the train. You're bluffing," Koike said. The prisoner sneered when he heard this. "why are you laughing?" "I think you are too naive," said the prisoner. Seeing his confident look, Totsukawa felt a little guilty.He stared at the face of the prisoner sitting on the chair, wondering: "Is this guy bluffing, or is he really confident?" "What are you looking at?" the prisoner asked Totsukawa. "Look at your face, you have been arrested, why are you still so confident? It's strange." "May I ask your name?" the prisoner asked. "I'm Totsukawa from the Metropolitan Police Department." "Ah, you are Totsukawa." The prisoner nodded and continued, "You should know that you dare not release me. Not only do you want to release me, but you must also give me 100 million yuan at the same time." "If you are not released, will the 'Big Dipper 5' train be bombed?" "Of course." "However, there is no bomb in the car. Your accomplice forgot to install it, so, do you still have the confidence to be released?" "You said you forgot to install it, how is that possible?" said the prisoner. "You trust your accomplice too much, don't you? He must have run away because of fear. Now, you should tell the whole story honestly." "What can I say?" "The name and address of your accomplice." When Totsukawa said that, the prisoner burst out laughing. Totsukawa said angrily, "What are you laughing at?!" "I heard that Mr. Totsukawa is a very capable criminal police officer, so it turns out that's all there is to it!" "..." "I now make a clear request that I will be given 100 million yuan to release me immediately." "How about releasing you...?" Kamei said, glaring at the prisoner angrily. The prisoner also raised his eyes and said: "Do you think I didn't realize that I was followed by a camouflaged police car and appeared in front of you as if nothing had happened? As soon as my Blue Bird car drove out from here, I knew you were followed. However, I think you will be smarter Some, I didn't expect you to be so stupid." After he finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders deliberately. "Do you still think you can blow up the 'Big Dipper No. 5' train?" Ten Tsukawa said, looking at the prisoner. The prisoner puffed out his chest and said: "Of course I can. As soon as I lose contact with my partner, the other party will bomb the train." He smiled again when he finished speaking. "Where is the bombed train?" "Let me tell you, you lied to me, but I'm lenient and don't want to cause bloodshed. Well, I'll warn you again. Big Dipper 5, the train will explode, but a small explosion, probably not Passengers will be killed. I think you will change your attitude after the explosion. If you don’t change your attitude, the next explosion will derail the train and cause a large number of passengers to die,” the prisoner said confidently. Totsukawa fell into deep thought, unable to fathom why the prisoner was so confident, so he asked Manager Koike again: "Is it true that no bombs were found in the train?" "Mr. Police Department, a total of ten people, including the conductor, checked inside the train for more than an hour. And even though it was late at night, they received great assistance from the passengers. If there is a bomb, they will definitely be found." Koike answered in the affirmative. Kusaka and Nishimoto took the prisoner to the railway police headquarters inside Chekyung Station. "But why is this guy so confident?" Totsukawa asked. "He must be bluffing. He wanted to blackmail JR East, but he didn't expect to be arrested so easily, so he was furious and refused to admit defeat." Koike said decisively. "If that's the case, of course..." Totsukawa was still uneasy. Kusaka and Nishimoto are back. Totsukawa asked the two of them: "How's that guy doing?" Nishimoto smiled and replied: "He counseled me in the Word." "What advice?" "He said that if I have family members or friends on the 'Beidouxing No. 5' train, I'd better tell them to get off immediately. It seems that he really thought the train would be bombed." "Is there anything else?" "He's still smiling happily, maybe he's out of his mind." Sun Xia replied. "I want to ask you, what happened when he came to pick up the suitcase, was he wary of his surroundings?" "No, not at all. When he came, the motorcycle was very loud, and he didn't look around at all." Nishimoto replied. "Did he resist when he was arrested?" "There was no resistance, just silence." "It's really inexplicable." Totsukawa said, crossing his arms. "Could it be something tricky outside the carriage?" Kamei said to Totsukawa. "Are you saying that the bomb was installed outside the car instead of inside?" Totsukawa asked Kamei. "After the 'Big Dipper No. 5' train leaves Sendai, it does not stop until it reaches Hakodate. Although it stops in Aomori, it is to change the front of the train, and passengers cannot get on or off the train. Therefore, between Sendai and Hakodate, it is impossible. Someone got on a car and planted a bomb. So, the bombs can only be planted on railways or bridges,” Kamei replied. "Then the train will derail." "yes." "The guy said he was lenient, and just to warn us again, he's going to make a small explosion, and say no one will die. If the railroad or the bridge blows up, it's not a warning, it's going to be a catastrophe. .” Totsukawa said. "That's true, but..." "Kamei, you, like Manager Koike, think the prisoner is bluffing?" Totsukawa asked. "Although this is not certain, but the JR company only said that there is no bomb in the train, so I have to believe it." The "Big Dipper No. 5" train is still moving forward rapidly. Hashimoto stood up from his chair after drinking beer in the public event car. We will arrive in Sapporo tomorrow. After getting out of the car, he had to follow those two people. "Although it is for money, it is also a ruthless thing." Hashimoto thought to himself. The days when I was a criminal police officer in the first investigation department are really memorable.But what's the use of thinking about that? Just as he was about to get out of the public event car, there was a commotion in the No. 4 car. "What's the matter?" Hashimoto tilted his head and saw that the train conductor and Kizhimoto were arguing in the passage. "Stop the train quickly!" Kinomoto said, staring at the conductor. The conductor of the train said in bewilderment: "What did you say? The train runs according to the timetable, so you can't stop at will." "What's going on?" Hashimoto interjected. Kinomoto stared at Hashimoto and said: "You also talk about the train conductor and tell him to stop immediately." "Why do you have to stop?" "I have a premonition that something unexpected is going to happen. Now stop the car immediately and let everyone get off!" Kinomoto shouted with eyes wide open. He shouted loudly. The door of the next room opened, and a passenger in pajamas rubbed his eyes and looked out the door, shouting loudly: "What are you shouting about? I hate it!" The conductor bowed his head and said to the other party: "It's nothing, you rest, sorry!" "It's dangerous, don't you understand?" Kizhimoto was still shouting. The conductor took his arm and came to the corridor between the two carriages. Hashimoto was also very interested and followed. "What unexpected thing do you say is going to happen?" the conductor asked Kizhimoto. "I don't know what happened, it's a terrible thing anyway. Don't you believe my words? I'm Kinomoto from 'Waka Teaching'." "Passengers, nothing is wrong, the train is running normally, please rest assured." "If you say that, you will regret it in the future!" Kizhimoto said in a threatening tone. The train conductor looked at Hashimoto with a wry smile, looking embarrassed. "Is something terrible going to happen?" Hashimoto asked Kinomoto. "real." "Are you saying an earthquake is going to happen? Or is the train going to derail?" Hashimoto said mockingly, feeling disgusted by Kinomoto. After hearing this, Mu Zhiyuan raised his face and said: "You will be punished for saying such things!" As soon as Kizhimoto finished speaking, there was a huge explosion sound from the luxury car. At this time, the surrounding air violently oscillated. But the train kept going. The train conductor's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he immediately ran to the No. 4 carriage. Hashimoto also followed. There were many passengers on the aisle, all pale with fright. White smoke came out from the crack in the door of the No. 2 single room in the No. 4 carriage. It was Kaori Hamano's room. The train conductor knocked hard on the door and asked loudly: "Mr. Passenger, are you all right?" However, no reply. The door of the luxury single room is opened and closed with a magnetic card. The train conductor opened the door of the deluxe single room No. 2 with the magnetic card he carried with him. As soon as the door was opened, the white smoke trapped in the room rushed out of the room and filled the passage. The train conductor immediately shouted: "Mr. Passenger!" Hashimoto followed behind the conductor and walked into the No. 2 single room. As the white smoke gradually thins, the indoor visibility gradually increases. The explosion appeared to have come from the shower. The conductor opened the door of the shower room and peeked into the shower room. "what!" The conductor yelled. Hashimoto also looked into the shower room from behind the conductor. The built-in toilet and washstand were blown out of shape. The mirror was shattered and there were shards all over the floor. A naked woman was lying on the ground, bleeding from her body. The shower spigot blew up and sprayed water continuously on the woman lying motionless on the floor. "Mr. Passenger, is it all right?" The train conductor picked the woman up under the shower, but she didn't respond. The back of her head was still bleeding. Hashimoto reached out and touched the woman's wrist, feeling for the pulse. "Please step aside." Hashimoto said to the train conductor, putting his ear close to the woman's chest. The heart has stopped beating. "Dead." Hashimoto whispered to the conductor. Hashimoto is relatively calm, probably because of the temperament he developed when he was a criminal policeman.When he was a criminal policeman, he saw many more miserable scenes than this one. The conductor panicked and asked Hashimoto: "What should I do?" "Where does the train stop?" Hashimoto looked down at Kaori Hamano's body and asked the train conductor. "The train stops at the Aomori Signal Station to change the train." "Is it scheduling parking?" "yes." "Is there a stop in front of Aomori where I can stop and call the doctor and the police?" "I think you can park at Hachinohe Station." "How far is it to Hachinohe?" "Seventeen or eighteen minutes." "I think it's more appropriate to temporarily stop at Hachinohe. Of course, it's up to you to decide." Hashimoto said. "I'll call right away." The conductor said, looking at the corpse on the ground again, and asked, "Is it really dead?" "It is indeed dead. I was in the police station in the past. She must have died. But just to be on the safe side, it is better to ask a doctor." Hashimoto said. The train conductor went back to the conductor's office in order to contact the stop at Hachinohe. Hashimoto found blood on his hands and washed them with the water from the shower. At this time, Hashimoto smelled the smell of gunpowder.He tried to keep his composure, but he was still a little nervous. After Hashimoto came out of the shower room where the explosion occurred, the other passengers looked in with trepidation. "How about it?" "Are the people inside okay?" "What exploded?" Everyone, you ask me one sentence at a time. "No big deal." While talking, Hashimoto looked for Aida Gong from among the passengers, but he couldn't find it. Maybe he hid because there was an explosion in the luxury single room where his woman stayed, and he was afraid of being implicated. Hashimoto walked to the junction of the carriages, Kinomoto stared at him and said: "I'm still talking?!" Hashimoto asked angrily: "Did you kill it?" "I didn't do anything, someone else did it." "Before the explosion, weren't you clamoring for parking? You must be an insider." "I saw a young woman struggling in pain in the room, I went to the conductor to save her, but they didn't listen to me, so she died." "You know how she died, don't you?" "I don't know that." "Tell me, why did you know something was going to happen in advance?" While Hashimoto was speaking, two or three young people ran over. They are Kinomoto's guards. "Are you okay?" One of them asked Kizhimoto. "I'm fine." "What is this man going to do?" "He said my prophecy is nonsense, nothing. Foolish people don't believe in prophecy." "Incorrigible person!" One of them looked at Hashimoto with contemptuous eyes and said. Hashimoto had seen this man before, he was the one who had a tryst with Kinomoto's woman in the public event car. Hashimoto laughed unconsciously.The other party seemed to remember the encounter in the public event car, and immediately stopped talking, showing a cowering expression. Manager Koike put down the microphone, his face turned pale, and he looked back at Totsukawa and said: "It was said on the phone that there was an explosion in the No. 4 carriage of the 'Big Dipper No. 5' train, and it was going to stop temporarily at Hachinohe Station." "Did you hear me right?" Ten Tsukawa asked. "Yes, there was an explosion in a deluxe studio, and the passengers were killed." "Passengers were killed?" "This has not yet been determined, but temporary parking in Hachinohe is certain." "So the train didn't stop because of the explosion?" "Probably the accident wasn't that serious." "Bring that prisoner!" Totsukawa said to Kamei. Kamei immediately ran out. When the prisoner was arrested and brought to justice, the atmosphere in this room was so lively, but now it suddenly became dull again. "I really want the 'Big Dipper No. 5' train to arrive in Sapporo smoothly!" Koike said to Totsukawa. "Yeah, with such a threat, the train will stop running, and the bad guys will taste the sweetness. Similar incidents may happen again." "However, Mr. Totsukawa, the conductors have thoroughly inspected the interior of the train, and found no explosives! It's incredible." Xiaochi looked puzzled and shook his head slightly. People from the Tokyo Station Road Police Headquarters brought the prisoner. Kamei still opened his mouth, but there was a confident smile on the corner of the prisoner's mouth. "You called me here, probably because the train exploded?" The prisoner said, and looked around all the people in the room calmly. "Did you really do it?" Totsukawa asked, staring at the prisoner's face. "Ah, yes, my mates from the March Three Group did it. But it's still a warning that won't stop the trains from running." "But, a passenger died!" Manager Xiaochi said angrily. The prisoner looked at Xiaochi and said loudly: "That's not the case!" "What are you shouting about? Your accomplice killed someone!" Totsukawa said, staring at the prisoner. The prisoner showed an expression of complete disbelief, and said: "Is anyone going to take a shower in the middle of the night? Are you talking nonsense? Are you trying to threaten me?" "We are telling the truth." Xiaochi said solemnly. The prisoner fell silent suddenly, looked at Koike, then at Totsukawa.He still concluded that what the other party said was nonsense. "You say this is a warning?" Totsukawa asked the prisoner. The prisoner stared at Totsukawa and said: "Ah, it's a warning, a warning to you if you don't really accept our request." "What if we still don't accept your request?" "If you don't accept it, we will blow up the 'Beidouxing No. 5' train to pieces, and the lives of the passengers will not be guaranteed. I have already said that if it explodes in the Seikan Tunnel, it will be even worse." The prisoner threatened. "Is your request 100 million yuan?" "It's 100 million yuan, and you want to release me." "If you are given 100 million yuan, how can you guarantee not to blow up the train?" Xiaochi asked. "You'd better not call this kind of death. It's meaningless. If you don't believe me, you can do whatever you want. You can tell the 'Big Dipper No. 5' train to continue running, or tell it to stop running, it's up to you It will be fine." "How about giving you 100 million yuan, when will the train be bombed?" When Xiaochi asked, the prisoner smiled and said: "Don't ask me any more. How can I tell you what time it will explode? You want to stop the car and ask the passengers to get out of the car to evacuate?" Koike patted Totsukawa on the shoulder lightly, and the two went to the next room. "What do you think?" Koike asked Totsukawa. "He is very confident, I think it's better to believe what he says." Totsukawa replied bluntly. "But giving him 100 million yuan and releasing him like this, isn't it admitting that he lost to him? This is too useless. And I don't know if he will stop bombing the train." "Yes, it was a warning, but his accomplice killed a passenger." Totsukawa said. "However, it is dangerous to continue to run the 'Big Dipper No. 5' train, what should we do?—" "The train is stopping at Hachinohe Station right now?" "Yes, now is the time to stop." "I think the explosives disposal squad of the Self-Defense Force on standby can be dispatched immediately to conduct a thorough inspection of the train, not only the inside of the train, but also the underside of the train. If any bombs are found, they should be disposed of immediately. Passengers' luggage should also be checked. As there has been a small explosion, I think the passengers will assist." "Then please arrange it immediately." Xiaochi said. Totsukawa called Kamei and told him to get in touch with the Aomori Prefectural Police and the Aomori Garrison of the Self-Defense Forces. Since the Self-Defense Forces have been asked to stand by, they will arrive at Hachinohe Station in five or six minutes. The question, Totsukawa thought, was how long the inspection would take. After they came back, the prisoner looked at Totsukawa, then at Koike, and said: "Have you discussed it?" "discuss?" "Yes, you are discussing how to avoid handing over 100 million yuan, right? Let me tell you, the only way is to give me 100 million yuan and let me go, and you must not follow me. There is no other way." said the prisoner. "Let's wait and see." Totsukawa retorted.
