Hinata Hajime was indeed not injured.
After all the test results came out, the doctors and police officers all breathed a sigh of relief and praised Hinata Hajime for being very lucky. The test results only showed that there seemed to be a scar on the back of Hinata Hajime's head. After Hinata Hajime explained that he was accidentally injured many years ago, no one took it too seriously.
The policeman bought a new set of clothes for Hinata Souji. The clothes he was wearing were hit by the explosion and fell into the pool, so they could no longer be worn.
After expressing his gratitude, Hinata Hajime refused the police's plan to send him back and walked out of the hospital alone.
If Hinata Hajime was quite cooperative and even smiling the whole time in the hospital at the beginning, the smile on his face disappeared after leaving the hospital. He walked on the road somewhat uneasily, with confusion in his green eyes. After walking for a while, he sat on a bench and stopped moving forward.
Hinata thought: What should I do?
The afternoon sun was not very hot, but it still brought a hint of warmth. There was an endless stream of people at the hospital entrance. Hinata Sou raised his head and saw people who came to see the doctor or visit the patients walking around. There was no expression on everyone's face except anxiety.
After all, no one laughs in a hospital.
In front of Mirror Lake, Kamizuru Izuru looked at the water calmly. The water surface, which was only like a mirror, reflected his own appearance, red eyes and long hair hanging down to the lake. Kamizuru Izuru raised his head and looked at the pale sky, as if he could see into Hinata Hajime's heart.
But this is just a spiritual world.
Kamijū Izuru cannot see himself inside Hinata Hajime, even though he can feel Hinata Hajime's uneasy heart.
What are you thinking about? Kamukura Izuru wanted to ask.
But in the end, Kamizuru Izuru did not speak.
They are the two sides of the mirror. Whether it is Kamijou Izuru or Hinata Hajime, they have completely similar parts. They are seals carved from the same mold, but have completely different inner hearts in the details. But it is these subtle details that make them completely different.
I can't understand those differences, but I can't help wanting to understand them.
They can never stop this inner craving.
Hinata Hajime raised his head and looked around. This aimless search finally stopped at the hands of a young man. The young man was holding a bouquet of flowers. The flowers were very fresh, with crystal dew on the petals. He walked into the hospital while talking on the phone.
It is a flower for visiting patients.
Hinata Sou thought about it, then he stood up, and after hesitating for a minute, he took a step forward.
Finally, Hinata Hajime stopped at the door of a flower shop. The proprietress, wearing an apron, was cutting branches and sorting the flowers. When she saw Hinata Hajime, her eyes lit up. She put down the scissors and wiped the dew on her hands directly on her apron. The proprietress walked over and asked, "Do you want flowers?"
"Ah, yes." Hinata Hajime looked at the flowers in the store, "That..."
"Is it for your lover? Or for your elders? But for a young person like you, it must be for your lover." The proprietress began to talk to herself, and then began to chatter on and on about the flowers in the store, listing all kinds of flower languages and numbers.
Hinata Hajime waved his hand, "That, is not a lover."
"So that means you're going to confess your feelings?"
"No." Hinata Sou denied helplessly. He pressed his temples and pointed to the sunflowers at the back. "Give me that one."
"Is this all you need?" The lady boss walked over with some regret. She took out a bunch of sunflowers and asked, "Do you need a decoration?"
Hinata Sou shook his head, "No need."
"If you want to express your love, one sunflower is not enough." The lady boss said in a tone of experience, and then she quickly took out a bright red flower from the flower basket next to her, "This is the last one left in the store, I'll give it to you at a discount."
Hinata Hajime looked at the rose in shock, "But I'm not going there to confess my feelings."
"Young man, your eyes won't lie." The lady boss thrust two bouquets of flowers at Hinata Hajime, "Here you go."
The rose was not beautiful, because it was the last one left, so it did not bloom well and looked small, with half of its petals still buds. Hinata Hajime knew that the proprietress just wanted to get rid of this last flower, so she racked her brains to sell it and tried her best to give him the flower.
After all, an imperfect rose cannot be sold. It is better to sell it for half the price than to leave it to wither in the store.
In the end, he bought it. The proprietress smiled and invited him to come back next time, but Hinata Hajime had already decided that he would never come back next time.
"I think you should learn how to say no."
Hinata Hajime held two flowers and walked to the nearby dock.
Behind the railing was the sea. Hinata Hajime's eyes were filled with the azure blue of the sea and sky. He did not speak, but just looked at the scenery. The delicate flower in his hand was blown to and fro by the wind.
Hinata Sou lowered his head and glanced at the flowers in his hand. After a moment, he raised his hand and stretched his hand out over the railing. Hinata Sou smiled slightly. He let go of his hand, and the two bouquets of flowers fell into the sea. They were instantly submerged by the surging sea water, and slowly emerged again after a moment.
In the spiritual world, Kamiya Izuru stood in front of the Mirror Lake with a bunch of yellow sunflowers in his hand. Kamiya Izuru looked at the bunch of sunflowers, and there was no emotion in his red eyes.
A gust of wind blew, blowing his long black hair and the corners of his black clothes. Kamiya Izuru looked towards the direction where the wind came from, his hair was blown into the air, and the sunflower in his hand was blown away by the wind. After a while, the wind stopped and Kamiya Izuru lowered his head.
In his hand was a bouquet of blooming, ugly roses.
Kamizuru Izuru lowered his eyelids slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in his red eyes. At that moment, the other half of the flower that had not yet bloomed trembled and opened its petals.
The half-opened flower seems to be a veil in the relationship, as if it is covering something, yet it seems that the other side can be seen clearly.
Kamizuru Izuru stretched out his arm, and he loosened his hand, and the blooming flowers fell from his hand into the mirror lake and slowly sank under the mirror.
Leaving this seemingly imperfect yarn is the right decision.
"After all, you should learn how to say no." Hinata Hajime repeated his previous words, his elbows resting on the railing.
No one spoke a word to the other.
However, Hinata Hajime felt that his heart had finally calmed down.
…
The explosion at the swimming pool was in the news. The vengeful criminal attacked ordinary people indiscriminately and blew himself up in the swimming pool, trying to drag the last ordinary person to death with him, but the other person was lucky enough to fall into the water and escaped the disaster.
Although his image was blurred, Hinata Hajime was still recognized by Conan and his friends.
This unexpected disaster turned directly from an explosion into a team visit of those people. Of course, after seeing that Hinata Hajime was fine, they left politely, only telling Hinata Hajime to be more careful next time, with almost no surprise on their faces.
Later, Hinata Hajime realized that these people had experienced countless explosions.
Magical Beika Town, magical group of people.
"I should have reconfirmed the information." Even today, Nanami Chiaki still feels a little guilty, "Hinata-kun almost got hurt because he trusted me."
"How could that be?" Hinata Hajime comforted Nanami Chiaki, "I wanted to check it out, and of course I'll be fine. At least we should trust the omnipotence of the super high school level."
Nanami Chiaki looked at Hinata Hajime with disapproval, "You can't neglect protecting yourself just because of your talent, Hinata-kun."
"I understand." Hinata Hajime stopped and looked at the store name in front of him. "This is it."
"Yeah." Nanami Chiaki agreed, "It's right here, the number one sushi shop!"
Yes, at this time Hinata Hajime was looking for a place to have dinner. Originally, he could just go downstairs to eat something, but Nanami Chiaki thought that after encountering such a thing, he should eat something good to celebrate. Hinata Hajime really couldn't refuse Nanami Chiaki, so he came here.
This place is the best place that Chiaki Nanami thought after collecting and summarizing the data. It is not far from his home and the feedback tastes good.
Hinata Hajime was easily persuaded by Nanami Chiaki. He didn't have much appetite, but he would not refuse to eat some delicious food.
"Welcome!" After Hinata Hajime came in, the store manager smiled at him, "Mr. Hinata who made a reservation, right? Please come here."
have an appointment?
Hinata Hajime was a little confused, but he didn't show it. Instead, he responded with a smile and followed the store manager to his seat.
After sitting down and talking to the diners next to him, Hinata Sou realized that this place is by reservation only. Everyone must make a reservation to eat here. The restaurant is very small and the prices are very expensive, but a lot of people have made reservations. Those who can successfully make a reservation are lucky people.
Yes, Chiaki Nanami will never fail in grabbing a reservation.
"Then everyone please wait for me for a moment, I'll get the ingredients out, and then we can start." The manager said in a gentle tone, and then took things out from the kitchen one by one.
In the next hour, Hinata Hajime watched the chef and store manager make sushi one by one. Although the taste was good, the quantity was really small.
While he was cooking, a man suddenly stood up. He seemed to want to get soy sauce, but accidentally knocked over the chef's plate with fish. The man kept apologizing and the chef kept frowning, but still tried to smile and said it was okay. After a moment, he turned and went into the back kitchen, saying he was going to get new ingredients.
Chiaki Nanami dived into Hinata Hajime's mobile phone. When Hinata Hajime saw her, he quickly picked up the phone and pretended to be sending a message. Chiaki Nanami also knew that she couldn't speak at the moment, so she typed on the screen to communicate with Hinata Hajime.
Chiaki Nanami: That boss looks familiar.
Hinata Hajime: Look familiar?
Nanami Chiaki: I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.
Hinata Hajime: Is it a criminal case?
Chiaki Nanami: I’m not quite sure, I think we can do a facial comparison and then be more precise about the news.
Hinata Hajime: That’s it.
After talking to Hinata Hajime, Nanami Chiaki went to compare the data. Hinata Hajime finished the sushi in the bowl and then waited for the store manager to come in. After Nanami Chiaki said this, Hinata Hajime decided to observe the store manager carefully.
However, Hinata Hajime did not wait for the store manager to come out.
Ten minutes had passed since the manager entered the kitchen. The diners nearby had already started to get anxious. They kept looking towards the kitchen and at the time.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Hinata Hajime couldn't help but complain when he heard the people around him.
"It's been fifteen minutes." Another person joined in the conversation.
The person closest to the kitchen couldn't help but raise his voice, "Manager?"
But no one responded.
"I haven't heard from other people who came to eat here that this happened." The man muttered, "I had a good meal last time I came here. Could it be that something happened to the manager? If something happened, he should have come and explained it to us."
Finally unable to bear it any longer, the person closest to the kitchen stood up. He said sorry anxiously while pulling open the kitchen curtain.
He stuck his head in and looked out, calling out for the manager, but at that moment, his voice suddenly stopped.
"Manager?!" The man's tone was full of confusion, and then he screamed, "Manager, what's wrong with you?!"
Everyone was startled by his scream, and everyone stood up and walked over hesitantly. When the kitchen curtain was opened, Hinata Hajime saw the scene inside.
The store manager lay on the ground motionless, his fingers limply resting on the ground. A diner who used to be a doctor ran over, felt the store manager's pulse, then raised his head and shook it at the crowd.
"No pulse."
"What?!" Everyone was surprised. "No, how could this happen? Why did the store manager suddenly die?"
"Call the police, call the police now!"
"Will we be suspected?"
"Of course not, we were all eating there, and everyone is a witness. This is definitely not our problem!"
Hinata Hajime stared at the person on the ground, with a hint of subtlety in his green eyes.
On the body on the ground, something black kept coming out and dissipated into the air like a wisp of smoke, but it was indeed coming out of the store manager's body.
At this moment, Hinata Hajime's cell phone rang. He quickly pretended to answer the call, and Nanami Chiaki's voice came instantly.
"Hinata-kun! I remember who this person is." Nanami Chiaki said, "Do you remember? I once told you that there was a girl who was proposed to by many people, and that man was one of them. He was wearing a white suit and holding flowers at that time. Now he is wearing a chef's uniform, a chef's hat, and a mask. I can't remember it for a moment."
Hinata Hajime frowned slightly, "Can you find those people now?"
"No problem, because I have called the police before and they have left records at the police station. I can find them based on these records."
Hinata Sou nodded, "Please."
"Yeah." Nanami Chiaki nodded, the call was hung up instantly, and Hinata Sou put down the phone.
The diners next to them had already called the police. They looked frightened and unable to calm down, but now they could only wait for the police to arrive and deal with the situation. Hinata Hajime did not sense any obvious despair from them.
So Hinata Hajime lowered his head and looked at the corpse on the ground. The doctor did not touch the shop owner's body, but just tested his pulse. Therefore, the body was still in the state when they found it. When he saw the body, Hinata Hajime found that his hands and eyes seemed to be facing one direction.
In front is... a refrigerator?
Hinata Hajime walked through the crowd and opened the refrigerator in front of him amidst everyone's strange looks, but the next moment, everyone was attracted by the things in the refrigerator.
Everyone took a deep breath.
Because among the countless unprocessed fish meat, there was a human arm frozen into ice.
"Gag." Someone who couldn't help it quickly covered his mouth. He stumbled towards the bathroom, and bursts of vomiting sounds were heard.
Others didn't react as violently as he did, but their stomachs were still churning.
Hinata Hajime closed the refrigerator in silence.
Well, if possible, he also hoped that he had not seen anything.
