What kind of person is Mizuo Sosuke?
In the eyes of those who are not familiar with him, he is beautiful and intelligent, a national treasure of the Japanese literary world, an absolute genius, and good at controlling people's hearts. As long as he is there, all cases can be prevented from happening. He can always nip all kinds of fancy cases in the bud.
But to those who know him well, he is an out-and-out coward, afraid of pain and suffering but conceited, loves others' compliments, and has an arrogant and disdainful expression every day. But when faced with danger, he always runs away the fastest. But when someone protects him, he becomes arrogant again, and he embodies the words "arrogant" and "boastful" to the fullest.
In his short 27 years of life, the only time he showed courage brought him the death he feared the most. He was a person who was so afraid of pain, a person who never dared to look down when he was standing on a high place, and a person who always talked about hating justice.
In the end, for the justice he hated, he chose to die together with his enemy.
He must have been very scared when he jumped. The howling cold wind must have frozen him very cold. The moment the bomb exploded must have been very painful. The fire was not beautiful at all, but very dirty. Especially when his flesh and blood were mixed with such an ugly man like Rum, this must have made him very angry.
Miyano Akemi hugged Conan tightly, she was afraid that the child would do something when he lost his mind.
But she was not in a good condition at the moment. Her lips trembled, and she cried and blamed herself for a long time, "I shouldn't have bought the lemon-flavored lollipop. At least before Mr. Shuiwei left, he should have eaten his favorite milk-flavored one. The lemon flavor is so sour, he doesn't like it..."
Conan fell to the ground. He took several deep breaths and struggled hard, trying to push Miyano Akemi away. "Sera-san, Sosuke-san is so afraid of heights. I have to save him. I have Dr. Agasa's power belt. I will definitely be able to catch him. Let me go and let me pass!"
He pulled the belt around his waist and screamed, his clear childish voice became shrill and piercing. Miyano Akemi was not very strong, and her mind was wandering at the moment. After a while, she was pulled out by Conan. Fortunately, Tanaka Shoyo next to her caught Conan.
Tanaka Shoyo's eyes were red. Compared to the time when he cried when he was asked to submit the manuscript, he looked even sadder now. "Stop making a fuss. Why do you think Mr. Mizuo died? He died to save us! If you run over now and something happens to you, will you be worthy of Mr. Mizuo?"
The crying in the auditorium could no longer be suppressed. They might not know how much determination it took for Mizuo Sosuke to make this decision, but they knew that Teacher Mizuo died for everyone, and he didn't even leave a complete body.
The helicopter hovering outside quickly approached after the explosion, and the elevator was finally repaired. A large number of police officers rushed in, as well as paramedics.
There are many colleagues from the First Investigation Division among the police. They are the people in the Metropolitan Police Department who are most familiar with Mizuo Sosuke. At this moment, all of them have red eyes, and they look dazed. How could Mr. Mizuo die when he is so smart, so powerful, and so cowardly?
.....
Miyazaki Ren sat on the Osprey, and suddenly his heart ached, almost so much so that he could not breathe. As if he had a premonition of something, he bent over and took out his cell phone from his inner pocket. The screen showed a missed call and two unread text messages, all from Mizuo Sosuke.
[I hate you, Ren. You didn't answer my calls. I'm so scared. I don't want to talk to you anymore! I'm going to find Takuma. You can play alone. When I see Uncle Narumi and Aunt Ayano, I'll tell them about it. Oh, remember to do something for me. My bank password is my birthday. There's a lot of money in it. I'm going to use it to build Ringo Town. When you see Yotaro, don't forget to laugh at him for me. I've become a super powerful person. Put your hands on your hips.jpg]
[Forget it, as a brother, I should be more generous. I don't hate you anymore. As for me, I love Lian the most, but it's a pity that Lian hasn't called me brother yet, and I didn't get to eat Apple Pie. Remember to bring Apple Pie to see me every year. Don't miss us. I will be angry if you come down too early. You must live a long life and finish all the things I haven't done for me, otherwise I will be really angry and ignore you!]
Miyazaki Ren clutched the clothes on his chest tightly, he lowered his head and breathed heavily. Because the people in the action team were not familiar with him, no one took his abnormality seriously. They just mocked him in their hearts, saying that he was a disgrace to the code members and was afraid of heights.
Ireland was also looking at his phone, and suddenly said to Calvados, who was driving the Osprey, "Turn around, there's no need to go over there, the problem has been solved."
He raised his phone, and it showed a video of Mizuo Sosuke crashing into Rumchichi and exploding outside Tokyo Tower. "What a pity! I really like reading Mizuo-sensei's novels."
Calvados glanced at the video and turned the Osprey around as instructed.
"Let me go. Find a place to put me down." Miyazaki Ren said coldly. His only brother died in such a tragic way. He really didn't have the energy to deal with these people.
Because Pisco had warned him, Ireland did not complain. Calvados had always had a good relationship with Miyazaki Ren, so he naturally would not refute. He drove the Osprey to an open space.
Miyazaki Ren jumped down from the osprey, his hands in his pockets, his back straight, as if he was walking back leisurely. When the osprey flew away, he could no longer control himself and tremblingly called Furuya Rei.
"Zero, where is Sosuke? Did you rescue him? Let Sosuke answer my call."
There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone. After a long time, but it seemed like no time at all, the low and hoarse voice of Rei Furuya was heard, "I'm sorry, Miyazaki..."
Miyazaki Ren could no longer hear what was said afterwards. A long, sharp sound rang in his ears and his cell phone fell to the ground. He squatted down and hugged his knees. He felt so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable. Liar, they are all liars. Sosuke will not die. Sosuke will be fine.
He curled up on the busy streets of Tokyo. The world seemed to be separated from him. This world was so strange to him.
"Miyazaki! Miyazaki!" Furuya Rei called out his friend's name loudly, but got no response at all.
He held the phone, bent down, and began to check the signal location of the incoming call, which was not far from Tokyo Tower.
Furiya Ling picked up the car key and said, "Kazami, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to be out for a while. Call me if you have anything else."
He quickly found a good friend. Mizuo Sosuke had a lot of fans, and many of them broke down and cried in the streets because they couldn't accept the news of his death. Miyazaki Ren seemed inconspicuous among them.
"Miyazaki?" Furiya Rei squatted down and gently called his friend's name.
Miyazaki Ren heard the familiar voice and looked up.
Furiya Rei's pupils constricted, and Miyazaki Ren's face was as pale as paper. The most shocking thing was that bright red blood was slowly flowing out from the corners of his eyes, mouth and nose.
"Miyazaki, what's wrong with you?" Furuya Rei picked up Miyazaki Ren and put her on the passenger seat, "I'll take you to the hospital!"
Miyazaki Ren shook her head. "No, I haven't made apple pie for Sosuke yet. We agreed to make apple pie for him today."
Looking at his friend's calm face, Fūya Rei suddenly felt a huge sadness. Even though he was used to life and death, he was now overwhelmed by this sadness. His eyelids felt a little hot, but he still forced a smile.
"Miyazaki, after we go to the hospital, let's go make apple pie, okay?"
"No." He was extremely weak at the moment. He moved his head with difficulty and shook his head. "If I'm not on time, Sosuke will be angry." He stared at Furuya Zero closely. "Zero, please, promise me, please."
"Okay." Furuya Rei compromised, "Let's go to Mr. Mizuo's house. He has all the tools, and Mingmei is there too who can help."
He said in a voice as gentle as if he was coaxing a child to sleep, "Close your eyes and rest for a while. When you open your eyes again, you will be there."
"No, I want to watch it with my eyes wide open. I can't be late. If I'm late, he will be unhappy."
Furuya Rei didn't say anything else. He sent text messages to Haibara Ai and Miyano Akemi. Because they wanted to research the antidote for APTX4869, Dr. Agasa had a lot of experimental equipment at home. As Miyazaki Ren's former experimental director, Haibara Ai should be able to solve Miyazaki's current situation.
Furiya Rei drove very steadily. He remembered that Miyazaki Ren was carsick and couldn't stand driving too fast.
"Hurry up, Zero, hurry up, I need to start making apple pie quickly." Miyazaki Ren urged anxiously, leaning against the glass window.
"Okay." Furiya Rei didn't refute him and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, causing Miyazaki Ren to vomit uncomfortably.
"Ggh——" A pool of blood-red liquid oozed out from between his fingers.
"Miyazaki!" Furiya Rei's eyes widened, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel.
Miyazaki Ren waved her hands weakly, "Faster, Zero, faster, I'm fine."
Furutani Rei stopped looking at him and sped up. With his superb driving skills, he soon arrived at Mizuo's house.
At this time, Miyano Akemi had already returned home and had prepared the ingredients for making apple pie.
After getting off the car, Miyazaki Ren went straight to the kitchen, cleaned himself up, and skillfully made apple pie.
"Ding." With the sound of the oven, the apple pie was ready. Miyazaki Ren didn't care about the heat and cut a piece and put it in her mouth. "No, this taste is wrong. This is not the taste that mom made. Sosuke will definitely not like this."
He dumped the freshly baked apple pie into the trash can and quickly started making the next one.
I made three in a row like this, and each one tasted wrong, and they all ended up in the trash.
It is impossible for Miyazaki Ren to replicate the taste of the apple pie made by Miyazaki Ayano, because his sense of taste has long been damaged and he cannot taste anything at all.
His emotions were getting more and more excited, and after another apple pie was ready, he still couldn't taste the flavor he wanted.
Miyazaki Ren pounded her hands hard, "I'm so useless, why can't I do it? Sosuke will be disappointed, I can't let him down!"
Furiya Rei hurried forward to stop him, suppressing his reluctance, "Miyazaki, have you forgotten that there is something wrong with your sense of taste? You can't taste anything."
Miyazaki Ren stopped struggling and muttered to herself, "Yeah, I can't taste it anymore."
The next second, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his black curly hair turned completely white in an instant. Blood flowed out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears again. He finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed on Fūrya Rei.
......
"What happened to Miyazaki?" asked Rei Furuya while looking at Miyazaki Ren lying on the laboratory table.
Haibara Ai's face was tense, and her hands holding the test report kept shaking. Aren't these data and medicine for those people? Why did Miyazaki's body have these data?
Looking at her like this, Furiya Ling had a growing bad feeling in his heart, "Please don't hide anything. As a friend, I have the right to know the true condition of his body."
Huihara Ai let out a long breath, "Miyazaki-san's body is collapsing at an increasing rate."
She rolled up Miyazaki Ren's sleeves, which were covered with dense needle holes and a purple color.
"With his original physical condition, he should have recovered long ago. But you see, today should have been the day for his treatment and examination. Several hours have passed, and these marks are still there. His recovery speed has slowed down, which means that his body's recovery speed is gradually failing to keep up with the speed of collapse."
"Based on the current rate, even with organized experimental treatment, he won't live more than two months."
Fūya Rei took a step back, staggering a little. "What do you mean he won't live more than two months? Today is the day for his examination and treatment. If this is the result, the organization's laboratory will not release him. Is it because the equipment here is not accurate enough and the examination is wrong?"
Huihara Ai pursed her lips and said, "He asked me for a modified version of the APTX4869 derivative drug before. After the adjustment, that version of the drug will squeeze the remaining life span of a person, thereby creating the illusion of returning to youth. Now all the traces show that he took this drug.
This time it was because he was emotionally broken and his body had just undergone an experiment that he was able to detect this data in advance. Otherwise, the abnormality would not have been discovered until a week before the complete breakdown.
Moreover, if I am not mistaken, he is no longer just being examined and treated in the laboratory. They must have conducted some new experiment on him, which would have caused his collapse to be accelerated. Otherwise, given his physical condition, he could live for another year or two even if he took the drug."
Furiya Rei took two steps at a time and hurried to Miyazaki Ren's side. He gently lifted up Miyazaki Ren's clothes, and saw that his body was covered with needle holes, and large patches of purple were blooming on his body, which was extremely dazzling.
Haibara Ai's inference was correct, the organization's laboratory did conduct more experiments on Miyazaki Ren. Compared with Dr. Shiraishi's attitude of cherishing the experimental subjects, the experimental personnel sent by the top management deliberately gave Miyazaki Ren a lot of hardship in order to compete with Dr. Shiraishi.
Furiya Ling clenched his fists and suppressed his violent impulse, "I have to kill these people sooner or later!"
Ai Huihara slowly injected the prepared medicine into Miyazaki Ren's vein. "I gave him a newly developed drug. The effect is not stable, but now we can only try it. He can't be stimulated again, otherwise he won't live for two months."
"How long will it take Miyazaki to wake up?"
"About half an hour."
"Thank you for your hard work in looking after him here. I'm going to go out and smoke a cigarette." After saying this, Furiya Ling left without looking back.
Haibara Ai knew that the other party must be in a bad mood at the moment, but who is in a good mood now? She covered her face helplessly and cried, hating herself for not working hard enough and that there was too little time for her to develop a medicine that could delay and alleviate Miyazaki Ren's condition.
Furutani Rei leaned against the door frame and lit a cigarette. He watched the cigarette burn quietly. Behind the misty smoke was his blurry face. It was late at night and the wind was strong. He was carrying everything alone and didn't know who to talk to.
After the third cigarette burned out, he patted his clothes to get rid of the smell and returned to the laboratory alone.
At this time, Huibara's eyes were swollen from crying, and her tears stuck her eyelashes together, making it almost impossible for her to open her eyes.
"Thank you." Furuya Rei patted her head, "Go wash your face. I'll take care of Miyazaki."
Huibara Ai nodded, wiped her face, and trotted away.
Furutani Rei sat on the chair and looked at his friend's face carefully. Under the white curly hair were delicate and pale features. He looked even weaker after the change of hair color. He couldn't help but think of the first time he met him, when he stood with Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei in high spirits.
He confidently said that he was a man, not a flashy guy, and that was why he would not carry so much luggage.
I was carrying two large boxes at the time and I felt that this person was really inconsiderate.
Later, his life in the police academy proved that Miyazaki was indeed a complete KY, often making everyone angry.
But after learning about his past, Furuya Rei also understood why Miyazaki was so ignorant of the ways of the world when he was in the police academy. After all, he had just left the constraints of the laboratory not long ago. He grew up in the laboratory and was naturally separated from the normal world.
"Zero? Why am I lying here?" Miyazaki Ren looked at Furuya Zero in confusion and struggled to get up. "My apple pie is not ready yet. I have to continue. I can't break my promise."
"Miyazaki." Furiya Rei pressed his shoulder, "You only have two months left, did you know that? Why did you hide it from me? Aren't we friends?!"
Furuya Rei was mentally prepared to sit down and have a good talk with Miyazaki Ren, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he had overestimated himself. He was completely unable to control his emotions, and his words even turned into a crying roar at the end.
Miyazaki Ren's body froze, and he slowly lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Zero. I can explain this to you later. Can you let me go now? My apple pie is not ready yet."
"Listen to me, Miyazaki." Furuya Rei forced Miyazaki Ren to raise her head, stared into his eyes, and said word by word, "Mr. Mizuo is dead."
Miyazaki Ren's face was frozen, and she kept shaking her head. "Zero, stop joking. Let me go. I don't want to hear you say this."
He struggled hard, trying to escape reality, but his weak body made him no match for Rei Furuya.
Furuya Rei can allow his friends to escape, but he cannot allow Miyazaki Ren to escape by hurting herself.
"Pa--" Furiya Rei slapped Miyazaki Ren in the face. He controlled the strength, but still made a loud sound. "Miyazaki, you know that Mr. Mizuo is most worried about you! Do you want him to never let you go?"
Miyazaki Ren remembered the two text messages from Mizuo Sosuke and finally could not hold back her tears any longer. She hugged Furuya Rei and burst into tears.
"Why, why didn't I answer his call! He must have wanted to ask me for help, but I couldn't save him! Why didn't I keep an eye on Rum? Why didn't I make him apple pie earlier? He is so afraid of pain, he must have been very scared in the end. The bomb hurt so much, how could he bear it? It was so dark down there, how could he do it alone!"
Furutani Rei let him cry without saying anything, just gently rubbing his back.
"He always wanted me to call him brother, but I never did. I even pretended not to know him and ignored him. He must be very sad."
Miyazaki Ren cried until his head was deprived of oxygen. He seemed to see the proud and cunning young man again, "Sousuke, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm wrong, Sosuke doesn't want to die, I don't want to live in a world without Sosuke. I have already lost my parents, and I lost my brother Takuma, I really don't want to lose Sosuke again."
"Guffaw——" Another pool of blood spit out on Furiya Rei. Miyazaki Ren's body no longer allowed him to be so emotionally excited.
Furuya Rei helplessly knocked Miyazaki Ren unconscious with a knife-like move, and gently carried him to the bed.
The moonlight is quiet, the wind rustles the trees, and the young man who was once as bright as the morning sun is gradually losing his radiance.
