Chapter 87 Exchange of lives——Hinata



The movie theater arson incident quickly made the news, especially the fact that the famous movie star's life or death is currently unknown, which continued to make headlines.

Hinata Hajime also learned about the life of this movie emperor from these news.

The name of this movie emperor is: Takaoka Haru. Just as Suzuki Sonoko said, Takaoka Haru's life experience is very legendary.

His father left when he was young and never came back. His mother died of illness. He never even went to school. He was discovered by a scout while working at a convenience store and played a supporting role in a TV series. Unexpectedly, Takaoka Yuru was born to be an actor. Although he was a newcomer, his acting skills were remarkable. In addition, the company he signed with was reliable, so he quickly became famous.

He gradually moved up step by step and won the Best Actor award in just a few years.

He is still very young.

The police officer in charge of the movie theater bombing came to the hospital and wanted to know the situation from the doctor.

Yes, Inspector Megure is still in charge of this case.

Hinata Hajime began to feel that the number of police officers in this world was seriously insufficient. Why was it that every time something happened, Inspector Megure was always in charge? It seemed like the current case hadn't even been investigated yet, and he was already rushing to investigate the next one, so busy that he was out of breath. Thinking of this, Hinata Hajime truly felt that his life was too difficult.

"Ah! Mr. Hinata!" When he saw Hinata Hajime, Megure Jusan sighed, "Why do I see you again?"

Hinata Hajime pointed to the ward next to him and said, "My friend is in a coma due to shock."

"Ah, I know, she's the daughter of the Suzuki family, right? But does Hinata-san need to go to the temple to worship?"

"well?"

"Hinata-san has been present at every major case that has occurred recently. This is really a bit of luck..."

Hinata Hajime: ...

Well, he thinks Conan is unlucky, but others think he is unlucky.

"I will." Hinata Sou sighed, "But this incident actually alarmed Officer Megure. The fact that you detectives are dispatched means that this is not an ordinary accidental fire, right?"

"Ah, yes, we did find something different." Inspector Megure looked around, then he whispered, "The cinema's surveillance was restored after the rescue, and we found the footage from that time. We saw someone seal something in the corridor leading to the cinema, and about three minutes after he left, the place exploded."

"Did someone drop a bomb?"

"The man's name is Nakabayashi Shan, he is the third male lead in the film. He was not supposed to come to the premiere, but the second male lead had an accident and was not present, so he was asked to take his place. After the explosion, the film crew could not find him. At first we thought he had an accident, but after the fire was put out, the firefighters confirmed that there was no body inside."

"The man ran away."

Hinata frowned, "Then why did he set off the bomb?"

"After investigation, we found that he and Takaoka Haru had a very bad relationship. They were newcomers who entered the company at the same time, but in an audition a few years ago, Takaoka Haru took away Nakabayashi Yoshi's role. In the end, Takaoka Haru became more and more popular thanks to this drama, while Nakabayashi Yoshi's luck went downhill."

"His agent told us that he always felt that Takaoka Yuru was standing in his way."

Hinata Hajime blinked. "So he set off a bomb to kill Takaoka Haru? Isn't that a bit hasty?"

"Although it does sound a bit hasty, we did find the amount of money spent on the relevant items in Nakabayashi Shan's order, and we also confirmed through surveillance that he had tampered with the elevator. The reason why Takaoka Yuru was locked up and unable to get out was all because of him."

"Is that so?" Hinata Hajime nodded, "Then we can just issue a wanted order later."

"Yes, it's been a while since I handled such a simple case."

Takaoka Haru's doctor finally finished treating her and came out. Megure Jusan hurried over to find out what happened. Hinata Hajime watched them leave together, and then he took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"How is it?"

"Yes, it is consistent with what the police officer said." Nanami Chiaki nodded, "There is indeed an irreconcilable conflict between Takaoka Haru and Nakabayashi Zen. Not only now, but also when they entered the company, they were in a competitive relationship and have always been quite confrontational."

"But from what I saw online, it looked like they had a good relationship."

"It was the Internet after all." Nanami Chiaki sighed, "Nakabayashi Shanyi was a rich second-generation at first, but his family suddenly went bankrupt after he became an actor. Without the support of his family, his resources became worse and worse, and he even had to subsidize his family. Then he really always thought that it was Takaoka Yuru's fault. I found some of his records, which said a lot."

Hinata Sou thought about it for a moment, and then he spoke, "So, is it true that Takaoka Haru stole his role?"

"Many years have passed, and the news is not complete, but based on the existing information, this should be true." Nanami Chiaki's voice also had some emotion, "This actor is not as amiable as he appears to be. He still has a very scary side."

However, this is not something Hinata Hajime can control.

Since it has been confirmed that this is just an ordinary murder case, he will not investigate further, after all, Inspector Megure is there.

Suzuki Sonoko woke up quickly, and when she learned that Takaoka Haru was unconscious, she cried like a tearful person.

Just as Hinata Hajime had thought, Takaoka Haru's misfortune sparked public opinion, and countless people went to the cinema to watch this movie. Also, because this movie was really well made, under such public opinion, the reviews continued to rise.

This extremely high rating led to more people watching.

For a time, the box office of this movie reached a terrifying level that many people had not expected.

A well-known director commented: At this rate, it might even make history.

Just when Suzuki Sonoko was crying while watching the movie for the fifth time, news came from the hospital.

Takaoka Yuriu woke up.

"It looks like this record is bound to be broken." At Dr. Agasa's house, Huihara Aiara looked at the news on the Internet with interest. "The momentum of the movie had already slowed down, but because of Takaoka Yuru's awakening, it rose to a new level again. It's really interesting."

Conan Edogawa sat next to him, "Habara, do you mean that Takaoka Haru woke up at this time on purpose?"

"Although there are coincidences in this world, I don't believe in such coincidences." Huiyuan Ai looked at the data above, "Mr. Hinata, what do you think?"

Hinata Hajime blinked, and he seemed to have just realized what was happening and looked at Haibara Ai, "Compared to this, why did you drag me here?"

"Because Kudo said he would introduce you to us."

"Kudo?" Hinata Hajime sounded puzzled again.

Edogawa Conan: ...

"So you still don't know who I am?" Edogawa Conan was shocked, "You saw that I was a high school student after just a few glances, but you don't know who I am?"

"Because I haven't investigated it." Hinata Sou said helplessly, "This is your secret, I certainly won't investigate other people's secrets casually."

Huihara Ai looked at Conan Edogawa teasingly, "Kudo, you really need to learn some emotional intelligence from Mr. Hinata."

"Stop, stop, stop, let's get back to the previous topic." Edogawa Conan said, "But how can a person control the time of his awakening? The explosion was not fake. Even if he was well prepared, he couldn't pretend in front of the doctors and the police. Therefore, it is impossible for him to deliberately wake up at this time."

"This must be a coincidence."

Hinata Sou thought for a moment, "Can Takaoka Yuru's acting skills fool the doctor?"

"Impossible!" Conan Edogawa denied it. "Acting can deceive the doctor's experience and eyes, but it can't deceive the instrument. Takaoka Yuru was sent to the hospital and definitely underwent a lot of tests. He was indeed diagnosed with a problem, so he was not faking illness."

"Why don't we just hand it over to the police?" Hinata Hajime looked at them. "Whether it was a real explosion or not, whether there really is a criminal, the police will find out."

"It's better to see some actual evidence rather than guessing here."

Edogawa Conan sighed, "That's true."

"Kudo just thinks too much." Huibara sighed.

"Graybara!"

Looking at the two people who looked like elementary school students but were actually high school students complaining to each other, Hinata Hajime took out his cell phone and took a look. On the phone, Nanami Chiaki quietly pointed to a file next to it. Hinata Hajime clicked on the file and then saw all the information about the case so far.

There is no doubt in this case that Nakabayashi Yoshi, who had already escaped, attempted to kill Takaoka Haru and placed a bomb in the cinema.

There is indeed no feeling of despair.

However, Hinata Hajime felt that something was wrong with this case.

"It's getting late, Conan, we have to go back." Hinata Hajime said, "I brought you out and will take you home safely."

"What kind of tone is this for taking care of elementary school students..." Conan Edogawa complained.

But he still said goodbye to Haibara Ai politely and walked back with Hinata Hajime. He was incredibly obedient.

Conan Edogawa followed Hinata Hajime on his skateboard. He looked ahead and asked casually, "Does this case have anything to do with what you're investigating?"

"Investigation stuff?"

"Because I feel like you seem to be very concerned about this case, Mr. Policeman." Edogawa Conan looked at him helplessly, "You don't think that Takaoka Yuru deliberately woke up at this time? Please, according to science and human physiological functions, this is impossible."

"Yeah, that's true." Hinata Sou nodded, "I think so too."

Conan Edogawa nodded, "I'm taking you to Haibara and Dr. Agasa just to get you acquainted. If you're really investigating something, you can ask them. They're knowledgeable and might be able to give you some direction."

"I know." Hinata Hajime smiled, "Thank you, Conan."

"You're welcome." Edogawa Conan accelerated on his skateboard. In front of him was the Maori Detective Agency. He waved to Hinata Sou, "Goodbye then."

Watching Edogawa Conan carrying a skateboard into the staircase, Hinata Sou turned around and went back. It was evening at this time, and the night street lights had been turned on. The dim light was shining on the road. Hinata Sou stopped and looked to the side strangely. Just behind a street light, a man rushed over quickly.

The man was wrapped tightly, wearing a black hood on this cold winter night. His face could not be seen clearly in the dim light. Only a strand of his black hair and light-colored lips could be seen.

The man's lips were pale and he looked as if he had been ill for a long time.

He grabbed Hinata Hajime's wrist. His knuckles were thin and his wrist was extremely thin, as if he was malnourished. He asked, "Are you a policeman?"

"Huh?" Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I'm a policeman, who are you?"

"You can help me." The man said, "I have always been very good at judging people, so, Mr. Policeman, please help me. After the matter is over, I will definitely give you a lot of rewards."

"No need for reward, just tell me who you are first."

Hinata Hajime frowned slightly.

In fact, he was ready to intervene no matter who this person was, because he felt a subtle breath of despair from this person. This subtle atmosphere of despair continued to permeate from his body. This person must have a very close connection with the Despair Fragment.

The man opened his hood and exhaled heavily.

When Hinata Hajime saw this man's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, because this man looked exactly like Nakabayashi Yoshi who was wanted by the police.

"Hello, Mr. Policeman." The man bowed to Sou earnestly, "I am Takaoka Yuru."

Hinata Hajime was stunned.

"well?"

who?

Takaoka Hanayu?
