Chapter 78: Little Tricks in the Childhood Incubation Room
…
After dinner, the snow had not stopped.
Shuichi Akai once again sent Miyagawa Ryo to his current residence.
The street lights outside were on, and the soft snowflakes were like tiny stars, falling on the white ground.
Miyakawa Ling unbuckled his seat belt and opened the car door.
Just as he was about to go down, Akai Shuichi suddenly said, "Magno called you 'Ling'."
Miyakawa Ling was slightly stunned.
Then he turned around and looked at the little girl.
The light inside the car was dim, and he could only see Akai Shuichi looking at him with the help of the street lamps, but he couldn't see clearly what the look in his eyes was.
"What is your relationship?"
He said this very calmly, as if he had imagined asking this question countless times during the dinner.
Miyakawa Ling paused and said, "Are you so curious? It's okay to tell you that I once saved his life. He is still alive today because of me."
The young man said in a gentle voice, "Can you rest assured now, Lord of the Stars?"
"Magno doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be grateful."
"Indeed, but I want to be special."
Shuichi Akai tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
Miyakawa Ling did not see this scene. He continued, "So, you who I recommended are also special. Don't worry about him. He won't hurt you."
"I understand." Akai Shuichi took out a cigarette from his pocket and hid in the darkness: "Go back and rest."
Miyakawa Ling got out of the car and said goodbye with a smile: "See you next time."
Shuichi Akai nodded at him through the car window, then drove away.
Miyakawa Ling turned around and prepared to go upstairs.
However, as soon as he turned around, he met a pair of caring purple eyes.
"Hagi?" Miyagawa Ling was a little surprised.
"That's your childhood influence. You have such a strong aura." Hagiwara Kenji said with a smile.
"Well," Miyakawa Ling smiled: "Why are you here?"
"You've had a lot of work in the past half month, and this overseas mission is very troublesome... Knowing that you're coming back today, of course I have to come and see you." Hagiwara Kenji said:
"Otherwise, if you fainted alone, no one would know! That would be too tragic!"
"No."
"I think he is very good at it." Hagiwara Kenji went upstairs with Miyakawa Ryo: "You probably don't know how you look right now."
Miyakawa Ling touched his face: "Does it look like a ghost?"
Hagiwara Kenji laughed out loud: "I take back what I said just now, you still know it."
"I can't help it. I haven't had a good rest recently. I'm going to sleep all day tomorrow."
Hagiwara Kenji agreed, and then said, "Actually, I came here in the afternoon and saw you. You fell asleep in the car, so I didn't call you."
"Come in the afternoon?" Miyakawa Ling was a little touched.
"Yes, I guessed at that time that the person driving the car was probably the 'A Xiu' you mentioned. Since it was him, I felt relieved and did not stay there."
Kenji Hagiwara left some privacy for the two of them.
"Just now, although I didn't mean to, I still heard a few words of your conversation." Hagiwara Kenji said: "Well...how should I put it, Komiyagawa, the way you get along with each other is not what I imagined."
Miyagawa Rei stopped opening the door and looked at Hagiwara Kenji.
He knew that the other party had something to say. After all, Kenji Hagiwara was not the kind of person who would casually comment on the way other people interacted with each other.
"I thought your relationship would be similar to that between you and Zero, but..."
Kenji Hagiwara recalled the conversation between the two people he heard under the street lights on a snowy night.
The atmosphere was warm, but the feeling of the two people's invisible confrontation and competition was also obvious.
However, this confrontation does not affect the relationship between the two.
In other words, Kenji Hagiwara thought this was a little trick played by childhood friends.
If it were a different scene or a different time, Kenji Hagiwara might have laughed and made a few jokes, but the current situation is that Miyagawa Ryo is hiding the fact that he is Magno.
At this moment, the "confrontation" is not so friendly.
Hagiwara Kenji said, "Komiyagawa, he must be suspicious of something."
Miyagawa Rei was trying so hard to hide the fact that he was Magnot, and Hagiwara Kenji thought he would get nervous when he heard this.
However, under the dim light of the corridor, the young man's expression did not change at all.
He murmured "hmm" softly.
Such an overly bland reaction stunned Kenji Hagiwara.
But then, the expression of Miyagawa Rei when he was talking to Akai Shuichi just now flashed through my mind, and the look of Miyagawa Rei when he heard that he would play the role of "Red Eyed Magno" last time also flashed through my mind...
Hagiwara Kenji was silent for two seconds, then said helplessly, "That's too much. I thought I could get revenge, but in the end, was this part of your plan?"
Miyakawa Ling smiled, opened the door and walked in.
"Hagi, don't deify me. I never thought you would do that!"
Hagiwara Kenji grabbed his neck from behind and said, "So, you admitted it. The moment you saw the outfit I gave you, you just went with the flow!"
He thought that Komiyagawa was really embarrassed! But, what purpose did he have?
Miyakawa Ling smiled kindly: "I was really embarrassed. The moment I saw Ah Xiu, I wanted to crawl into the dirt."
He raised his head, but before he could see anything, his eyes were covered.
"..."Miyagawa Ling.
"Just talk and don't look at me." Hagiwara Kenji pressed his head down and ruffled his hair like petting a dog.
"..."Miyagawa Ling.
"Don't lie to me! When you first met him, you really didn't know what to do. You were determined to hide the problems caused by the system... But later, especially the night you met him as Magno, you had other ideas!"
Hagiwara Kenji snorted, "Damn it! I really don't want to admit that Kenji-chan was actually part of your play!"
Miyagawa Ling's eyes were half-mooned: "Do you think you are getting better?"
I guessed so much just by listening to a few sentences between him and A Xiu... It's too scary!
Hagiwara Kenji pretended not to hear and analyzed: "According to my observation, your childhood friend is just a little suspicious, but the direction of the suspicion is not certain. Maybe he just suspects your relationship with Magno, or that you did something... Well, this is my first time meeting him, so I can't be sure."
"Is he a person who is very good at hiding his emotions? I didn't see through him, and even what I saw might have been deliberately expressed by him."
Miyagawa Ryo knew that Hagiwara Kenji used his superb insight into emotions to analyze all this and told him.
"Thanks, Hagi."
"Although this is a matter between you two, it involves the organization, so I'd like to ask you, what exactly do you want to do?" asked Kenji Hagiwara.
I clearly didn't want Shuichi Akai to be suspicious, so why is he suspicious now? Why does it happen to be what Komiyagawa is thinking?
Miyagawa Ling: "Magno is now the fourth person involved in the Leo incident. Leo, the devil, it's all him. I'm crazy to want Xiu to find out that we are the same person."
Hearing this, Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but look at Miyagawa Ryo's expression.
"and you?"
But a brilliant smile slowly spread across the young man's face: "But, if Ah Xiu really finds out..."
He smiled to himself and didn't finish.
It's not surprising that Miyagawa Ryo would make preparations for both scenarios, but what made Hagiwara Kenji feel a little uneasy was that he intuitively felt that Miyagawa Ryo was actually looking forward to the situation that would occur later.
That kind of expectation was not that he wanted to see this situation happen, but that it was unavoidable. Komiyagawa's mentality was to avoid it, but strangely, he was expectant.
——Why would he expect it?
No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be like this.
What else does he want to do?
What has been done?
Miyakawa Ling's golden eyes were bright and her smile was innocent: "Don't think too much."
"I just have some bad thoughts towards Xiu."
Hagiwara Ken stepped back two meters!
"?" Miyakawa Ling: "What's wrong with you?"
Kenji Hagiwara's droopy eyes, which naturally give him an innocent look, were filled with sincerity: "My instinct tells me to stay away from you."
…
When Miyagawa Rei returned to China, he only told Gin, Rum and Miyano Akemi.
He didn't know where Shuichi Akai got the information from, and he didn't want to find out more.
After taking such a long leave, Miyagawa Ryo was warmly welcomed by the trio as soon as he returned to school.
Except for Kudo Shinichi, the two girls, like other classmates, thought that he asked for leave due to health reasons.
After Miyagawa Ryo dealt with it, Kudo Shinichi pulled him to a corner and asked him about the details.
He made up a random excuse to deal with it. Kudo Shinichi did not pursue the matter any further this time, but told him eagerly that he had discovered something wrong at the exhibition through the clues given by Suzuki Sonoko.
"...Now, I have three suspects, and they may all have connections with your parents. Moreover, the target of the person behind the scenes is definitely not the Cloud Star, but something else. The thing is likely to be some kind of trading item in the underground world."
Kudo Shinichi really lived up to the name of a detective. His analysis was very logical. Only half a month had passed, and he had already narrowed down the person that Miyagawa Ryo wanted to find among the three of them.
However, among these three people, two are just "security guard" and "a lady". They have no names and no physical features. They are just titles. It takes a lot of effort to identify them as specific people.
Miyagawa Ling gave a few pointers without making any noise.
Kudo Shinichi followed his train of thought and discussed with him for a long time. At the end, he suddenly said, "I have a strange feeling that Kazuki seems to have known who that person is."
Miyagawa Ryo showed doubt and denial on his face, but in his heart he couldn't help but admire Kudo Shinichi's sharpness.
Even if he was not sure at first, after hearing Kudo Shinichi's determination to find the target, he still didn't know, so he didn't need to hesitate.
Miyagawa Ryo had no real intention of letting Kudo Shinichi complete the task for him. Besides, there was an organization behind the scenes helping him to investigate intelligence.
After so many days, there has definitely been some progress.
Kudo Shinichi looked at Miyagawa Ryo for a while, then suddenly raised his hand to make a fist, and under the latter's confused look, lightly bumped his shoulder.
"Hold on for a while longer." He put his fist in front of Miyakawa Ryo.
Miyagawa Ryo reacted instantly. Kudo Shinichi saw the look on his face and was worried about him.
He smiled and bumped fists with the other person: "Yeah."
