Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Chapter 221 Conan Arrives

When Gin came back from the underground shooting range, he saw Nagai Hikaru sitting in the garden crying.

Bewildered, he walked to Nagai Hikaru, squatted down and asked, "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Nagai Hikaru nodded: "Come to think of it, I actually forgot to keep some photos of Brother Bai."

"Is this worth crying for?" Gin was a little confused.

No, I just finished a phone call with Conan. Nagai Hikaru explained silently in his heart: "No, it's just a pity?"

"Do you like Shiraha Haba better?" Gin raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Nagai Hikaru's face.

"Isn't it all you?" Nagai Mitsuru opened his arms, Gin stood up, picked him up, and sat back on the recliner.

"I won't smile like that." Gin brushed Nagai Hikaru's long hair with his hand and let him lie on him with his head resting on his shoulder.

"It's different when he smiles. Brother Bai's smile is very sweet." Nagai Hikaru raised his hand and touched the corner of Gin's mouth. "He looks cute and very interesting. But he really doesn't have enough physical strength. He needs both hands to lift me up."

Gin smiled and said, "How's the data report going?"

"Not bad. Although this experiment only lasted for a month and a half, it was more like changing a body for the soul. After reading the report, those bigwigs were ecstatic and have already started to choose the new body they want." Nagai Mitsuru put down his hand, "But we only provide a fixed ten images to choose from. Due to technical reasons, it's first come first served."

"Didn't you tell them that the gene chain will collapse in two months?" Gin laughed.

"Yes, but two months is enough time for them to prove the success of the soul transfer to those who are observing him. And it is natural for our people to replace the original owners of the donors, isn't it?" Nagai Hikaru leaned forward a little, and his forehead touched Gin's chin. "Even the slight change in personality has a reason, the difference caused by the nervous system and hormonal response of the new body."

Gin nodded slightly, and slowly combed Nagai Hikaru's long hair: "This is a dream that those who are about to die cannot refuse."

.

It was already sunset when Conan arrived at the Trojan Apartment. He stood in front of Toru Amuro's apartment and knocked on the door for several minutes but received no response.

I made a few more calls, but no one answered. Just when I was about to give up, the door opened.

Toru Amuro looked even more miserable than when he was injured in the explosion at the last world summit. There were bruises on his face and scars on his arms, which were exposed by his white short-sleeved T-shirt.

He reeked of alcohol, holding a can of beer in his hand, and looked at Conan with gray eyes: "What are you doing here?"

"You were the one who shot Akai last night, right?"

"Yeah." Seeing that Conan wanted to come in, Toru Amuro moved aside. After watching him enter the room with his skateboard and close the door, he picked up the beer in his hand and took another sip.

Conan was choked by the smell of alcohol when he came in. He saw a pile of empty beer cans and a few empty whiskey bottles on the low table and was a little surprised: "I thought you didn't drink."

"I just don't get drunk easily." Amuro Toru walked to the table, fell on the cushion, raised his head and drank the whole can of beer in one breath, "Akai, are you still alive?"

"...You sent the email, right? You informed my father and the others. Fortunately they were rescued in time, otherwise he would have lost too much blood." Conan frowned and looked at the scene in the house. Only the table was messy, with all kinds of wine jars and bottles. It seemed as if Toru Amuro poured all the wine he could find in the house into his stomach.

"How did you know it was mine last night?"

"You were fighting and you bumped into the bookshelf, right? I found a strand of your blonde hair on the shelf. Your blonde hair is a little lighter than Xiaoguang's." Conan moved the empty wine bottle on the side of the coffee table, then pulled out the table mat and sat down.

"Oh, do you want to call the police? Intentional injury." Amuro Toru smiled and threw the empty beer can in his hand on top of the beer cans.

Conan shook his head: "That Akai guy, he got shot on purpose, right? Did he kill Yuba?"

Toru Amuro fell back and lay on the tatami, covering his eyes with his hands, and did not speak for a long time.

Conan stood up by holding the table: "Did he, kill Yuba?"

"Who told you that?"

"Xiaoguang."

Amuro Toru was silent for a while, then chuckled: "Yes, Xiaoguang only saw him."

"Is there anyone else present?" Conan responded quickly, "What exactly happened?"

"Have you met Yuba? What kind of person is he?" Amuro Toru asked suddenly.

Conan was curious why he was asked this, but he still answered: "At first I thought he was a bit fierce, giving people the feeling of Gin, but later I found that he might just look fierce. I saw him walking the dog, and he looked very gentle at that time."

"Looks fierce?"

"We didn't know each other very well at the beginning, and in fact we had only met a few times. But he was very concerned about Xiaoguang's safety, and his first reaction was to protect Xiaoguang when something happened." Conan walked around the table and sat next to the lying Amuro Toru.

Seeing that Toru Amuro had stopped drinking and just stared blankly at the ceiling with his head tilted up, Conan continued, "Hikari said that he was someone Gin sent to protect him because of the last incident with Su Luo. Has Mr. Amuro seen Yuba?"

"...No, I haven't seen him once in such a long time." Amuro Toru said softly, "Why haven't I thought of meeting him once?"

"Mr. Amuro, have you known Yuba before?" Conan asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, maybe." Toru Amuro looked at the ceiling, his vision unfocused.

Conan didn't know if Toru Amuro was drunk at this time, because he looked like he was about to break.

"Hikari said that Akai killed Haneba... Mr. Amuro, do you know the specific details?" Although he thought it might not be a good idea to ask this at this time, Conan was really worried about Nagai Hikaru.

"I wasn't there either, but if Xiaoguang said it was, then it must be him." Amuro Toru felt around and pulled out a can of beer from the plastic packaging of a dozen new beers next to him, opened it, propped himself up and took a big sip.

"Xiao Guang wants to kill Akai." Conan did not stop Amuro Toru from continuing to drink, but said in a worried tone, "How could this happen? Why would Akai kill Yuba? Do they have any conflict?"

"Akai betrayed the organization. He will be hunted down if he shows his true face in front of any member of the organization." Toru Amuro pulled over a few cushions and placed them behind his back.

"... Xiaoguang said that Yuba is not a code member of the organization."

"As Xiaoguang's bodyguard, you must know the appearance of the enemy who caused trouble for the organization." Amuro Toru took another sip of wine.

"…So Akai killed him?"

Amuro Toru twitched his lips and said, "There are so many solutions, but he chose this one."

She laughed softly after saying this, but to Conan it sounded like she was about to cry.

"It was the same before. He was obviously very strong, and there were obviously so many ways he could have stopped it. But he didn't..." Amuro Toru covered his face with his hands, "I know, I can see the direction the bullet entered and the location where the phone broke. I know he didn't want to implicate others and chose to end it himself, but why didn't he stop it? He is obviously so strong... He could have done it..."

Conan leaned in to listen more carefully: "Mr. Amuro, who are you talking about? Yuba?" Which "he" were they referring to? Conan was confused.

Amuro Toru took his hands away from his eyes and looked at Conan: "You said Xiaoguang wanted to kill Akai?"

"Yes, he returned to Dracula, but he kept crying on the phone." Conan was very worried, "Is it really Akai who killed Yuba?"

"If Hikaru is really determined to kill Akai, he can just tell Gin and it will be solved." Amuro Toru took a big sip of wine, "Say he is Okiya Subaru, and he is now in Kudo's house."

Conan lowered his head: "He can't say that. Okiya Subaru living in the Kudo residence will cause trouble for me, my parents."

Amuro Toru paused after putting down his beer and smiled again: "Yeah, he definitely won't tell you in order to protect you."

"I...I'm afraid he'll want to do it himself." Conan pushed Amuro Toru, "I want to see Xiaoguang."

"I can't drive in this state." Amuro Toru shook his beer and closed his eyes. "Don't worry, Xiaoguang can't kill Akai."

Conan looked at Amuro Toru in surprise: "Why do you say that? You should know that he has killed people in the organization, right?"

"He only killed people when he needed to protect himself. Those who failed the code member test had to die." Amuro Toru continued to drink a sip of wine, "In the beginning, he armed himself like a natural devil, but after gaining Gin's trust, he never took the initiative to hurt anyone again."

Conan felt a little guilty, he asked stiffly: "Are you sure? What might he have done that you don't know about?"

"I don't know, but after he joined the organization, he basically had no time to act alone. He was basically carried around by Gin." Toru Amuro shook the beer. He drank this can much more slowly.

"What do you mean?"

"Like I told you, Gin would even kill other codename members for him. He is protected so well, and Yuba must have been carefully selected by Gin for him."

"That has nothing to do with my question." Conan frowned.

"He doesn't dare to say where Akai is now, and he can't tell Gin the whole story after Yuba was killed. There will only be one result, he will be locked up in the tower again by Gin in the name of protection." Amuro Toru sat up straight and took another sip of wine, "He may not be able to meet you for a long time like before. Not to mention running out of surveillance to kill people."

Conan opened his mouth and sat down in front of Amuro Toru. Now he was no longer worried that Nagai Mitsuru would come out to kill people, and instead began to worry about other things.

"Can't he just say that Akai killed him?"

"He won't tell you if there's any possibility that it might implicate you." Amuro Toru took a sip of wine, wondering why he couldn't get drunk even after drinking so much. "So don't worry."

Conan sat on the tatami, holding his head with both hands and scratching it a few times in annoyance: "Akai, why is he like this?" Even if it was for self-protection, he would just kill someone so directly?

"Yes, after the first shot hit his shoulder, the other party clearly could not continue to pursue him, but he still let the second shot go." Amuro Toru finished the can of beer again, his mind still terribly clear, "He still chose the most beneficial and convenient way for him, even though he knew it would hurt others."
