Chapter 91: Exchanging Lives - The Future



Takaoka Yuru is an award-winning actor and a winner in life, so he believes that he can survive well in any situation.

He can't get out of the role. In the movie, he plays a famous detective and a high-IQ criminal. He plays with the world, and it seems that this world is so simple for him. Therefore, Takaoka Hanyu will not be nervous, and he even lets his life go.

He thought: He will survive no matter what.

Even if you change your identity and your life.

Yes, that's why he exchanged lives with Zhong Lin Shan.

He doesn't value himself, Zhong Linshan wants to be him, the fragments of despair chose them, exchanged their lives, and waited for despair to come.

Only by letting Takaoka Yuru see the final result can he understand: this life cannot be exchanged.

He had lived for more than twenty years and had a wonderful life, surrounded by friends and people who cared about him. Exchanging lives would mean that he would have to abandon these ties and even have to watch them get hurt while being powerless to do anything because, in the legal sense, he would be the one who hurt them.

How horrible, how terrible.

Takaoka Yuru arrived at the hospital entrance. It was still raining. Only at the hospital entrance would there be people all the time even when it was raining. He looked at the hospital entrance with his hood on, but he couldn't move forward at all because he was now Nakabayashi Shan. Once he appeared inside, he would be caught immediately.

He will be thrown into prison as Zhong Linshan.

So he couldn't go in, let alone visit his unconscious old friend.

The rain slid down his cheeks, his lips were pale and his eyes were looking straight inside.

He felt someone standing behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Hinata Soji standing behind him with an umbrella.

The rain hit the umbrella with a crackling sound, and Hinata Hajime looked at him with his heterochromatic red and green eyes. At the moment their eyes met, Takaoka Yuru found that he would no longer have those habits that only detectives had. He no longer analyzed anything, and would not wonder why Hinata Hajime appeared behind him.

Takaoka Yuru wiped the rain off her face with the back of her hand.

"I've always thought that I'll be fine no matter what." He almost choked up, "So, even if I have to exchange lives, it doesn't matter. It's just that my identity as a wanted criminal makes it a little difficult for me."

"I was wrong."

The rain and tears on Takaoka Yulu's face merged together, "No."

"I can't let Nakabayashi hurt them."

"Mr. Hinata, please save me, I want to go back, I'm Takaoka Yuru, I can't just stand here and do nothing."

Hinata Hajime's voice was gentle. He asked, "Will you despair?"

"I will be desperate, and that's my despair now." Takaoka Yuliu said, "But I won't give up, and I won't be desperate forever. I will definitely find a way to get that guy out of my body, and I will never let him continue to hurt others."

[Something went wrong.] Hinata Sou murmured softly.

[Only the most horrific reality can make him completely sober.] Kamukura Izuru's voice was calm, [The fragments of despair have pulled the two of them together. Now that Takaoka Yuru has woken up, it depends on how he handles this tug-of-war.]

Yes, this time there are two desperate hosts.

"Mr. Policeman, can you please let me see Kuroiwa?" Takaoka Yuru looked into Hinata Hajime's eyes pleadingly, "Just help me take a look. As long as Nakabayashi Shan admits that I am him, I will try my best."

Hinata Hajime nodded, "Okay."

"Thank you." Takaoka Yuru immediately turned around and left after thanking him, without even having time to say a word of courtesy.

Because now he understands better than ever.

Time is life.

Nakabayashi Yoshi's acting skills are not good enough for him to play Takaoka Haru for a long time, so he will use this extreme method to attack everyone when he is suspected.

When all those who are familiar with Takaoka Haru disappear, Nakabayashi Zen will completely become him.

He couldn't let this happen.

[Is it really okay to just leave it alone?] Hinata Hajime looked at Takaoka Haru as she walked away.

[No problem.] Kamizuru said calmly, [There is only one way to end this, but it would be meaningless if we were to come up with this method. He has to come up with it himself. So, don't worry about him.]

Hinata Hajime tilted his head, and after a moment he walked into the hospital holding an umbrella. He stepped on the splashes of water on the ground. After entering the hospital, Hinata Hajime folded the umbrella and placed it in the umbrella storage area at the entrance of the hospital, and then went to the intensive care unit on the ward building.

The agent Heiyan was seriously injured. He has been in a coma and has not woken up. There are several people guarding outside the ward.

Among them are Hinata Hajime's acquaintances: Inspector Megure and Suzuki Sonoko and her group.

"Brother Hinata?" Conan Edogawa jumped down from his seat and ran to Hinata Hajime. "Why is Brother Hinata here?"

"I'm here to help someone." Hinata Sou smiled, "Someone asked me to come and see the injured."

Edogawa Conan thought of the painting in the art museum, and twitched his lips, "Why are you doing this kind of thing for others again? You agree to it when someone asks you to do it?"

"It's not a big deal." Hinata Hajime glanced inside the room. Kuroiwa was lying on the bed with various tubes inserted into his body. "What about you guys?"

"It's Sonoko who's coming to see Takaoka Haru. When we came, we found out that he was attacked again. Kuroiwa helped him and he's now in the hospital. Takaoka Haru was frightened and has been moved to another ward. We came to see Kuroiwa first."

Hinata Hajime looked at the people in the ward and said, "What did the doctor say?"

"The injuries are very serious. The worst result is that he will never wake up again." Edogawa Conan frowned, "Is this Nakabayashi Shan so cruel? He actually sneaked into the hospital and attacked them."

"Is Inspector Megure investigating this case?"

"Well, since we couldn't find any trace of Nakabayashi Zen, we came here to investigate his whereabouts and to find someone to protect Takaoka Yuru."

However, the person he was protecting was actually the murderer.

A killer hiding in another's body.

At this moment, Director Kamiyama appeared in a hurry. He saw Hinata Hajime and Inspector Megure next to him. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to look at Agent Kuroiwa in the intensive care unit. After seeing the agent's appearance, he almost gasped.

He slowly covered his abdomen. Hinata Hajime looked at him and confirmed that he was covering his stomach.

Director Shenshan has a serious stomach problem and suffers from stomach pain when he is nervous.

Now that he had already seen the patient for Takaoka Haru, Hinata Hajime was about to leave. At this moment, Director Kamiyama hurried over and grabbed Hinata Hajime's sleeve.

"Mr. Police?" Director Shenshan called out hesitantly. After a moment, he shook his head. "Well, it's like this. I have a new script here, but I think some of the settings are not very strict. Can I ask you some professional knowledge? Of course, it definitely does not include confidential content."

Hinata Sou sensed that Director Kamiyama wanted to talk to him, so he nodded, "No problem."

"That's great! I've been worried about this problem for several days." Director Shenshan laughed quickly.

Directors may not be able to act. Director Kamiyama is like this. He smiled very stiffly, but mainly because someone he knew was now unconscious, so this stiffness seemed reasonable. So after saying goodbye to Edogawa Conan and the others, Hinata Hajime followed Director Kamiyama to an empty room.

In the room, Director Shenshan's smile instantly collapsed. He held his stomach, with a little panic in his eyes.

He said, "Mr. Policeman, I have something to tell you, but it is a very strange thing, and I hope you will not think I am making it up after hearing it."

"You say." Hinata Hajime spoke.

"It's like this." Director Kamiyama's eyes kept moving, "I think Yu Liu is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing is right!" Director Shenshan lowered his voice, "I have known Yu Liu for a long time. I directed his first movie. People outside don't know it, but we have a good relationship and have been in contact privately, so I know him very well."

Hinata Hajime nodded, "It's okay, you can tell me everything."

"Yu Liu will not leave Hei Yan alone." Director Kamiyama murmured, "He will definitely not stay alone in the ward after Hei Yan is injured like this. Moreover, Yu Liu will not let Hei Yan help him block other people's attacks. The relationship between them was so good, and now Yu Liu is really too indifferent."

"Have you been to see Takaoka Haru?"

"Yes, I came from there." Director Shenshan nodded. "He was sitting on the hospital bed and didn't dare to look at me. When I asked him, he just said he was too scared."

"No, that's not right. Takaoka Yuru will never be afraid at a time like this."

"When I think about it, he seemed to be very cold to me, as if we were just ordinary acquaintances. He even called me Director Shenshan. We always called each other by our first names."

Director Shenshan frowned as he said this, "Mr. Police, I am not making this up. I really think so."

"I believe you." Hinata Hajime answered calmly, "You think the current Takaoka Haru is not the real Takaoka Haru, right?"

Director Shenshan nodded seriously.

"Then, keep this doubt in your heart and don't show it," Hinata Hajime said.

"Why?" Director Shenshan was stunned.

"Have you ever thought that you are not the only one who thinks that Takaoka Haru is not the real you? Mr. Kuroiwa, who is now lying in the intensive care unit, also has such doubts." Hinata Hajime said as calmly as possible: "But he did not come to me like you did, but asked Takaoka Haru instead."

Director Shenshan took a breath of cool air.

"Mr. Policeman, you, you mean to say..."

"Protect yourself." Hinata Hajime said seriously, "Just pretend he is Takaoka Yuryu, understand?"

Director Shenshan stood there in a daze. After a moment, he kept nodding with a pale face.

Then he turned and left as if escaping.

[Will he come again? ] Hinata Hajime murmured.

【I won't come again. 】
