Chapter 44 Section 44

Kataoka, a veteran of the forensics class, put a piece of black plastic in his palm and showed Nanao and others. "This should be a mobile phone part." "Mobile phone?" Honma asked. "Yes, make a mobile phone into a detonating device. Call this mobile phone, it will not ring, but it can be detonated, so the prisoner can move freely. I have seen it modified with a pager before, but now no one uses the pager, so I will use it instead The mobile phone is gone. The crime techniques of the criminals will also change with each passing day.” "Is it easy to make?"

Kataoka shrugged at the question. "A layman probably can't help it. But according to Nanao, the prisoner is an expert in electronic equipment..." "So it can be done?" "Probably. I think it's because the explosives are more difficult to make." "Isn't that explosive?" Nanao asked. "If it's explosives, then forget it." Kataoka pointed to the back. The hut of the power receiving facility was blackened by smoke, but it did not collapse.Kataoka said that only the front of the power receiving board was damaged, and the damage to the main body was not serious, but it would take half a day at least to restore the power receiving board to function.

"But the fire was so big at that time." Nanao said what she witnessed. "It's supposed to be gasoline, probably with the explosives." "So the explosives are..." "I think the prisoner made it himself," Kataoka said. "I haven't analyzed the composition of the residue yet, so I can't be sure. However, if you mix sugar with potassium chlorate or potassium permanganate, you can make a small explosive. Judging by the degree of explosion, it should be about the same." "Can ordinary people get these materials?" Honma asked, obviously unable to believe that this series of crimes came from the hands of laymen.

"If you are an engineer in the manufacturing industry, you should be able to get it, and potassium permanganate can also be bought in pharmacies." Nerve-wrenching, Honma said, his face darkened, as if he didn't expect a layman to be able to do this.However, Nanao thought it was a hindsight. He had personally experienced the chimney mechanism, so he believed that the prisoner was not an ordinary person from the beginning. Someone called out for the team leader.Nanao turned her head and saw a young detective surnamed Lin from the same group walking over quickly. "I found the latest photo of Naoi. It is said to be the same as the photo on the employee card."

Lin took out a photo from the kraft paper bag in his hand and gave it to Honma. Nanao also poked his head over to look.It was a picture of Naoi wearing a tie. "Did you wash it?" Honma asked. "It's been taken for color copying." "Okay, send it to the colleague who is responsible for finding someone. The newer the photo, the less likely it will be wrong." "Give me one too." Nanao said to Lin, taking the same photo. "I'm going to find someone too." At present, according to Nanao's proposal, several criminal police officers have been sent to find someone nearby.

"No, you stay here." Honma said. "Why?" Nanao felt the corners of her mouth twist. "Am I not allowed to join the investigation?" "No. You know this case best, so I want you to stay by and give your opinion." Nanao was quite surprised and stared at Honma. "is it okay?" "Let me make it clear first, I will definitely punish you afterwards, but don't get carried away." "I know." "The captain will be here soon, and I will sort out the materials." As he said, when Honma was walking forward, his cell phone rang. "I'm Honma, what's the matter..., what? Are you sure?...Well, is it the Bora Hotel?" Honma listened to the phone and looked into the distance. "Well, you can see it from here. Is that right? Got it, I'll send someone over to help right away, and you all need to stabilize first."

Honma hung up the phone, looking at Nanao with slightly bloodshot eyes. "I found a hotel for Naoi to stay at." Nanao opened her eyes wide. "Really?" "He never dreamed that we had already found out his location. He was staying under his real name. We showed the photos to the hotel staff, so it should be him." "In my real name..." "Nanao, you go there first, and I'll ask Sakamoto and the others to go there later. Bora Hotel, you know the location, it's that hotel." Honma pointed to a gray building in the distance with a signboard hanging on it. It is a business hotel.

"Understood!" Nanao ran towards the nearest police car. He got off at a place tens of meters away from the hotel, which was not visible from the hotel.Because Joji Naoi may be monitoring the hospital and surrounding road conditions at the same time in the hotel. Walking into the main entrance of the hotel, there is a small hallway.There was a familiar face there, a latecomer surnamed Terasaka.He should also be in charge of the search. "What about the others?" Nanao asked. "On the floor where Naoi was staying, he should be waiting in the corridor." "Is Naoi in the room?"

"I don't know, we are waiting for instructions from the team leader." "Sakamoto and the others will also come, and they will probably wait until they arrive before going in to get someone. Where is Naoi's employee identified?" "That's him." Terasaka pointed to the counter. Nanao approached the counter and showed the police handbook.The slender-faced waiter nodded slightly, looking nervous. "Please tell me about the situation of this person coming to stay." Nanao asked while showing the photo. "Several people asked about it just now. I was not particularly impressed. I just asked him to register his name on the card."

"When did he book the room?" "last Friday." "Is there a designated room type or something?" "No, there is no special request. The guest lives in a standard single room." The waiter seemed confused as to whether a suspect being pursued by the police should use honorifics. "Did you bring any luggage when you came here last night?" "I remember that the guest seemed to be carrying a travel bag, but it's not very clear..." "Did you use the phone in the guest room?" "About this point, other criminal policemen also asked about it just now, so I have confirmed that the customer did not use the phone."

"Did you bring him into the room?" "No, most hotels like ours just give the keys to the guests." "Is there any sign of entering or exiting the room?" "Sorry, I haven't been here all the time, so I don't know much." Nanao nodded, judging that this employee cannot be expected to provide useful information. Sakamoto came in through the gate, along with several police officers.There must also be deployments outside. "The order has come, go in and arrest people." "Okay, let's go!" Nanao gestured to Terasaka and walked towards the elevator. Naoi lives in a guest room on the fifth floor.As soon as he arrived at the corridor on the fifth floor, he saw two criminal policemen who said that there was nothing unusual about Naoi's room. Sakamoto also went upstairs with several police officers. "The front door and the back door of the hotel are blocked." "Okay, the security door and the stairs here need to be watched." After arranging the police force at various appropriate locations, Nanao, Sakamoto and others discussed the steps of arrest, and decided that Nanao would knock on the door. "The team leader instructed that there may still be explosives in the hospital. We should be careful in case Naoi is forced to detonate in a hurry." Sakamoto said. "Understood. But it shouldn't be a problem, Naoi is not that kind of person." "how do you know?" "A person who would lose control immediately, can't think of the modus operandi this time. If he was that kind of person, he would have broken into Shimabara's ward with a knife." "I hope so." "That's the only way I can think of it. ——Let's go." Nanao, Sakamoto and others approached the room together, quietly took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. But there is no response inside.Hit it again, same result. "Do you want to go in?" Sakamoto whispered, showing the key.That should be the master key to the hotel. Nanao nodded, and Sakamoto inserted the key into the keyhole and pushed the door open. After Sakamoto, Nanao also stepped into the room, but there was no one inside. Nanao opened the bathroom door beside her, but there was no one in the bathroom either. The TV was on, there was a computer on the desk, and there was a travel bag on the bed. "Escaped?" Sakamoto said, biting his lip. "Impossible. It's impossible for him to find out about our actions. Even if he finds out, he probably won't have time to escape." Terasaka said. "So, it happened to be out..." Sakamoto frowned deeply. "Sakamoto, the liaison team leader. If Naoi goes out, the plan will change. Let's lay an ambush here and wait for him to come back." "Yes." Sakamoto took out his phone. Nanao looked around the room.Is Naoi monitoring the hospital from this room? Looking out of the window, you can indeed see the Teito University Hospital campus clearly. If you use a telescope, you must be safe, and you can also see the power receiving facilities.He likely detonated it hastily when he saw the police trying to investigate. but…… Nanao felt strange, and always felt that something was wrong.
