So, somehow the spirits bits him back and goes BANZAI on him?
I hope we got explanation for that part.

Maybe someone else was controlling the spirit?

It doesn't seem to make much sense for the organization not to have the second spirit use the bomb for its original purpose and then kill their agent (perhaps with a second bomb but perhaps by direct attack).

@Oeconomist I think it is because the guy related to the bombing got caught and if the bombing went off, further investigation will be done and might find a lead towards the organization considering there's a suspect.
Or the organization is doing it for the lulz. You failed bombing mission? You'll be the bombing mission.

@Oeconomist i get the feeling the 2nd guy was sent in to take out the 1st guy because losing a spirit probably is more damaging than not blowing up the place.

@NotALewdGuy, @Wnf—
You (and apparently the author) are treating non-rival options as if one excludes the other. The choices were: [ol]leave the building unbombed and leave the agent alive,
leave the building unbombed and kill the agent,
bomb the building and leave the agent alive,
bomb the building and kill the agent.[/ol] The agent was implicitly expecting the first or third choice. The author and the detective somehow see sense in the second option. I'm saying that the fourth option makes sense if the third does not.
Had the original plot been successful, an investigation would certainly have followed, so the idea of avoiding investigation doesn't make sense. Further, not only was investigation under way regardless, but more intensive or extensive investigation would follow upon the bombing of the holding cell. A faked suicide (in the manner of the killing of Epstein) would have been the best option for disposing of the agent, and even that would provoke some further investigation unless the the people behind the killing themselves decided the course of investigation.

@Oeconomist Bombs only work if nobody knows about it.
The original plan was to threaten/kill dignitaries of i country by first blowing up the ship that they arrived on and 2nd blowing up the diet building that they were in attendance.
The moment the detective figured out about the bombing, The dignitaries would no longer be in the building in case something goes wrong so the plan for blowing up the building is essentially pointless because the main objective gained by blowing it up is gone.
I agree that they could have killed him in a quieter manner but we can try and assume why they would go for such a method.
Ill just preface this by saying its been a while since i read up from the beginning and this is all assumption from hereon because we don't have any other information to go on currently.
The main and only reason why i see them using explosives is because he has something on his person that gives away too much info that would require you to cut off (maybe like a mark/tattoo on his skin that allows him to control ghosts n what not), so its not as simple as just killing him and then purifying the vengeful ghost that is left behind by him being killed.

@Oeconomist it was aborted though? i mean your whole previous argument is about how they could have still blown it up and by they i mean his teammate.
The real question is why would he abort the mission just based on police presence around building, i mean you saw how amicably he went into police custody because he has no harmful evidence on his person so even if he was caught walking around in an area where he shouldn't be its not like they could pin anything on him. If he knew that the main character could somehow deep dive into the memories of a comatose survivor of a shipwreck maybe he would abort the mission before he went there but you really can't plan for that.
The other burning question is how the teammate got in / out of the boundaries without alerting one of the 5 people who can see spirits.
We can assume that it wasn't police officer because otherwise it would have been stopped at a much earlier stage like you mentioned plus chibi detective would have seen spirit around the precinct and could tell who was spying with it.
Our next best bet and my running theory is that one of the shinto priests performing an exorcism is fake, which seems pretty plausible seeing as this most recently vengeful spirit was killed at a shinto shrine which could have been taken over by the organization for this op.
Again for clarity sake to address your first point again. Police presences means literally nothing to them and the ghosts as shown by the fact that one managed to waltz into a prison cell and blow him up, so why would they need to abort it unless they somehow acquired the information that the target has been moved ahead of time.

@Oeconomist
What is an investigation that would lead to a dead end?
A bomb will clearly eliminates any traces of the guy. Faked suicide will still leave a body to be studied by them.
You can call me out when the next chapter "Oh the bomb is made of X which can be found at certain locations in Japan etc etc"
I, personally, like to think that the author wants to dispose the bomb for plot reasons AND "That's how (revengeful spirit based) mafia works."
