Chapter 24 His Eyes Are Red
After Xiaolan said this, she still did not loosen her hand. Kogoro Mouri and the leader of the police rushed over to Shinji Inada from behind and restrained his hands and feet. At the same time, several more people came up from nowhere, making him unable to move at all. Shinji Inada was stunned and gave a helpless smile.
"Yes, we all saw it," the female host was already getting closer and closer. Braving the cold wind of late autumn, she spoke excitedly, "Many people made efforts, and in the end it was a brave girl who stopped the victim from committing suicide..." Someone next to her kept signaling to her, but she pretended not to see it, "Oh, the police also came, and they finally controlled the situation. It was really timely..."
Gao Siqiming smacked his lips and said, "It seems that everyone thinks he is a 'victim'."
Ikeda Yoshihiro was still recording, the camera was put aside, and he rolled his eyes, which was rare: "Isn't this obvious?"
Luo Zhi Xingzi watched Inada Shinji being restrained, she breathed a sigh of relief, staggered a few steps and stood firm, Gao Si Qiming hurried to support her, he said admiringly: "I didn't expect that the publishing house has such a history, if I were you, I would definitely not do this."
Luo Zhi Xingzi shook her head: "Actually, I didn't do anything. He did all this himself." Looking forward, her eyes were complicated.
Shinji Inada had his hands shackled, his head lowered, and was forced back by the police.
"Wait a minute!" Conan suddenly called him and ran over.
Shinji Inada looked at the child in front of him, a little puzzled: "Now that things have come to this, do you have anything else to say?"
Whether in terms of concepts or actions, it can be said that there was a major clash between the two sides. He understood what the kid meant, and he also hoped that there would be more people like him in this society. It was a pity that he himself could not benefit from it.
"That person," Conan said sternly, "How did he contact you?"
Shinji Inada laughed: "I took the initiative to contact him. It's not difficult to contact him. He is also a well-known person in the underground world."
He stopped talking, but Conan still wanted to ask. He had seen the boy's previous actions and the police didn't stop him. Conan said, "He specializes in helping people like you who have nowhere else to go, right?"
Shinji Inada shook his head: "Maybe. I just heard that he has a lot of resources. As long as you give him money or if he is interested, he will get involved. I just wanted to give it a try at first."
But he would do it no matter what. Conan understood what was meant. He didn't rebuke him either, as that would be too cold-blooded. He just said angrily: "You know what he wants to do, right? I thought you were bewitched before, but now, if you let a dangerous person like him continue his activities..."
Shinji Inada narrowed his eyes and recalled that day long ago. He seldom recalled that time. A huge nightmare followed him like a shadow. He kept running away from the pain of someone's death. But that night in the bar brought back a scene from his past memories. It was a strange gift that caught him off guard.
"You are Ms. Qingshui's son, right?" the policewoman asked him sympathetically, "Are you going up the mountain with your mother? Can you tell me what you were going to do?"
The child in thin clothes was trembling slightly. "That man, you have to check him out. He did it on purpose. He killed someone and he wants to kill me too. They are all accomplices, all of them are accomplices!"
This made the policewoman serious. She asked seriously, "Who is that person?"
The child stopped and waited for a while. He finally mustered up the courage and said in a small but clear voice: "Nagakawa, it's Nagakawa Usuke."
The police officer responded: “We will investigate.”
But the investigation did not produce any results. Instead, the next day, Shinji Inada saw the old housekeeper appear at the police station. He told the police in an anxious tone that his young master had accidentally gone missing last night. The police recalled something and said, "Speaking of which, we rescued a little boy last night..."
He led him over here. Xiao Shinji panicked. He stepped back at a loss and accidentally hit the steel frame next to him, making a loud noise. "I can't be caught by the devil!" He could only remember these words, and then he turned around and ran, climbed out of the window, and quickly fled from the police station.
Until not long after, he was brought to another person under another identity.
"You said you were her son?" The one who found him was also a child. But unlike him, he was in good health, handsome, and had a calmness that was different from his peers.
Shinji Inada could only tremble.
The child was not disappointed. He didn't seem to care what kind of person he was. "She did have a child, but it wasn't you," he said.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Shinji Inada had anticipated something and he quickly bowed and apologized.
"No, it's nothing." The child shook his head and jumped off the seat: "If you want to be her son, then go ahead and do it. Anyway, you don't have your own identity, right?"
Shinji Inada was extremely surprised. Seeing through his doubts, the child said calmly: "Don't worry about me. From today on, I will leave here."
"Why?" Inada Shinji became anxious: "If it's because of me..."
"No," the boy said, walking towards another person, a tall adult, and taking his hand. "It has nothing to do with you."
"It's just," he turned around, his eyes full of indifference: "If she is gone, why am I still staying here?"
His eyes were clear and red like gemstones.
The scene remained in his memory like a painting, so that later on that day he was so surprised when he saw him for the first time. He could not forget this mother and son, who gave him a new life.
So, he squatted down and said to Conan very sincerely: "You are wrong, he is a good man."
Conan's eyes went dark and he felt a pain in the roots of his teeth. He looked at Shinji Inada carefully, but couldn't see any sign of him fooling himself on his face. He had no choice but to walk away to avoid staying here any longer and getting even angrier.
Shinji Inada was pushed away, and the police and the media followed him. Sachiko Luozhi wanted to find a place to rest. They couldn't leave here now because the police would come to question them later. She walked into the corridor and her steps slowed down.
"It's you," she took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke one, but after thinking about it, she didn't light it. "Maybe I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage to say those words."
She smiled sadly: "At the beginning, what I thought was, why didn't he die? Aoi died because of him, how could he still have the face to live in this world? I hate him, only less than that person."
"No," Pei Zhen came out from the darkness, "If I wasn't there, you would still say that at that moment."
Luo Zhi Xingzi was surprised.
"Because you have a friend like that," Pei Zhen said, "She will want him to live, and you will not let her down."
Luo Zhi Xingzi's eyes were moist. She cried with a smile and whispered: "Yes, she is that kind of person..."
Xiaolan came over from the side and saw this scene, she was a little at a loss: "Ah, should I come back later?"
"No," Luo Zhixingzi came closer and she said softly, "I have said what I want to say. And, it was very beautiful what you did just now."
Xiaolan blushed and whispered, "You are very brave too."
Luo Zhi Xingzi walked away. Xiaolan came to Pei Zhen and said seriously, "Thank you."
Pei Zhen was stunned: "Shouldn't I be the one saying this?"
"It was you who allowed us to seize the last opportunity, otherwise I would not have been able to save him." Xiaolan said.
"But it's more of you who have done the hard work," Pei Zhen waved his hand, "and those words, if it weren't for you, you wouldn't be able to say them."
Xiaolan's face turned even redder: "I just did what you said and wanted to empathize with him and experience his feelings."
"No, no, no. Without you, no matter how much I think, it will be useless." Pei Zhen still waved his hands.
Xiaolan was speechless. "Why don't you come forward and save that person yourself?" She was a little curious: "You should be able to do it, right?"
Pei Zhen smiled and said, "I can't do that."
While planning him, he also saved him. Pei Zhen felt that he was not thick-skinned enough to be that thick-skinned, and he would feel a little ashamed.
"Okay," Xiaolan gave up and said, "Anyway, I'm really happy that Amano-kun thought of me and asked me to save a life." Her face flushed, "I can help in this. I suddenly feel that it's great that I can practice karate!"
Pei Zhen said: "This is your own effort."
Xiaolan shook her head, then nodded, said a few words, then bowed and left. After she left, Pei Zhen sighed, "Hidden there, do you like eavesdropping so much?"
A small figure jumped out from the corner.
It was Conan. He looked at Pei Zhen and said, "Sure enough, you also discovered me last time."
