Chapter 22 Memories - Yan Er Explosion
Yanagi Renji stopped Sanada Genichirō from going down with his iron fist, "Sanada, at least let Kirihara die with a clear conscience."
Kirihara Akaya nodded quickly with tears in his eyes.
"Piyo~ Could it be that Akaya's teacher dragged him along and complained for a long time about sleeping in class, failing quizzes, and having a low accuracy rate on homework..."
With every word Niou Masaharu said, Kirihara Akaya's face turned paler. In the end, he knelt firmly on the ground, ready to accept his own judgment.
When Yanagi Renji thought about Kirihara Akaya's usual single-celled appearance, it seemed normal for him to do these things.
The soft-hearted Yanagi Renji turned around decisively, knowing that he wouldn't feel soft-hearted if he couldn't see.
"Sanada, continue."
Just in case, he also covered his ears so that he wouldn't suddenly soften his heart.
Morinaga Yuya poked his head out from behind Yukimura Seiichi and asked, "Isn't this bad for Kirihara?"
"It's okay. Sanada was very measured in his attack. After all, he's the one who's responsible if he gets beaten silly."
Seiichi Yukimura casually ruffled Yuya Morinaga's hair.
"But why is Yuya reacting so strongly to Sanada attacking?"
So big that it’s a little abnormal.
When mentioning this, Morinaga Yuu also felt a phantom pain on his face.
"Because when I was six..."
Kudo Shinichi, who is only ten years old, is curious about everything and follows his father's example to try to solve all the mysteries.
That day, Kudo Shinichi took Morinaga Yuya out to play.
Shinichi Kudo noticed a tall and thin man sneaking into an apartment not far away.
The detective's DNA moved.
"That man seems a little suspicious."
"Then let's catch up, Shinichi."
Morinaga Yuya, who was three heads tall, didn't think there was anything wrong with kids like them just following him, and enthusiastically followed Kudo Shinichi's steps towards the apartment.
After all, he was just a child. When I caught up with him, he had already disappeared.
Most children might choose to give up, but these two thought for a few seconds and chose to climb up one floor at a time.
In the end, I climbed to the top but still didn't see the man.
Morinaga Yuya raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and pursed his lips.
"Shinichi, we seem to have lost him."
Kudo Shinichi was also a little sad, but his younger brother Morinaga Yu was there, so he pretended to be an indifferent adult and patted his shoulder.
"Just think of it as exercise."
The noisy sound from downstairs came up, and Morinaga Yuya and Kudo Shinichi jumped up almost at the same time, leaned on the windowsill, and looked down.
"It seems something big happened in this Shin-Ichi apartment."
"Then it's time to take action."
Kudo Shinichi jumped down with some excitement in his eyes, pulled Morinaga Yuya, and started looking for which floor had the problem.
The two energetic children went around every floor and walked downstairs noisily.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Kenji Hagiwara, who was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall and smoking.
"Why is there a child's voice?"
Morinaga Yuya peeked out from the stairs and saw a group of members of the Mobile Team's Psychological Processing Team, who excitedly called out to Kudo Shinichi who was still on the stairs.
"I found it, Shinichi!"
Hearing the call, Kudo Shinichi ran over quickly and ruffled Morinaga Yuya's hair in praise.
"Not bad, Yuya."
Kenji Hagiwara put out his cigarette and threw it into the bag he was carrying.
"You two little brats, shouldn't you have followed your parents and evacuated?"
Morinaga Yuya could no longer bear so many gazes, so he hid behind Kudo Shinichi, holding on to his clothes tightly.
"Shinichi~"
Kudo Shinichi puffed out his chest and blocked Morinaga Yuya tightly.
"We are detectives. We recently saw a furtive man enter this apartment."
Kenji Hagiwara walked in front of Kudo Shinichi, squatted down and tried to speak to them at eye level.
"Did they catch him?"
“No, no.”
Kudo Shinichi's confidence was lacking for a moment. He wondered when he would grow up.
"But I will find him."
A smile appeared in Hagiwara Kenji's eyes. He stood up and patted Kudo Shinichi's shoulder.
"Thank you for the information. Leave the rest to us. I'll have someone take you down later."
Morinaga Yuya poked his head out from behind Kudo Shinichi and was very dissatisfied with Hagiwara Kenji's arrangement.
"But you're not even wearing protective clothing, why can't we stay?"
Hagiwara Kenji felt a little guilty for some reason, "Because my brother is very capable."
Sometimes when his parents are too busy working overtime, they will take Yuya Morinaga to the Metropolitan Police Department. Those uncles and aunts have watched him grow up, and the entire Metropolitan Police Department is considered Yuya Morinaga's second home.
"My uncles said that if I go back without protective clothing, I will need to write a self-criticism or be suspended."
"Captain Hagiwara, do you need us to help you get back on?" Someone in the team recognized Morinaga Yuya. "It would be very useful if you could go back and complain."
Kenji Hagiwara viciously tried to scare the two brave brats.
"I don't know if I'll be punished, but I know if you stay here and don't leave, you'll be beaten when you get home."
"Terrible sir!"
He actually resorted to the trick of complaining!
Morinaga Yuya raised his head and stared at Hagiwara Kenji's face, pursed his lips, wanting to say something but not daring to.
Kudo Shinichi took one look at Hagiwara Kenji's face and understood instantly.
This guy is obsessed with looks again.
"Yuya just thought you were pretty and wanted to get to know you."
Morinaga Yuya nodded quickly, staring at Hagiwara Kenji with longing eyes.
Hagiwara Kenji raised his eyebrows in amusement, squatted down, and stretched out his arms towards Morinaga Yuya, "Come here."
Morinaga Yuya walked over cautiously and stared at Hagiwara Kenji's face in confusion.
"Where's the momentum that threatened me just now?"
Hagiwara Kenji grabbed Morinaga Yuu with his hands and he fell into his arms.
Morinaga Yuu was also stunned for a second. This older brother was very gentle. He put his arm around his neck and gently rested his head on his shoulder.
The cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Hagiwara Kenji hugged Morinaga Yuya with one hand and took out the cell phone with the other hand.
"Xiao Zhenping, what's the matter?"
Matsuda Jinpei stood at the bottom of the apartment building and looked up. "Kenji, what are you rubbing against that? Just dismantle it quickly."
"The bomb timer has stopped. I can't continue dismantling it until these two little detectives are gone. I really don't know what those evacuees are doing."
"Please, next time, could you please not say it to our faces?" Kudo Shinichi said with a half-mooned look in his eyes, "And clearly, no one has come to see us."
"What? You have kids there!"
Hagiwara Kenji stood up holding Morinaga Yuuya, ready to take him to the stairs, "Yeah, you're holding another one in your arms~"
"Can you walk on your own, little detective, or do you need me to carry you as well?"
Just thinking about Kudo Shinichi makes him feel awkward. It has been so long since he was carried by someone for a walk.
"Just hold You."
As Jinpei Matsuda listened to the conversation coming from the other end of the phone, the veins on his forehead twitched.
"Hagiwara Kenji! You're not wearing protective gear!"
Hagiwara Kenji held the phone farther away; Jinpei's voice was getting louder and louder.
"Don't yell so much. The protective suit is heavy and hot."
Kudo Shinichi stood at the stairs helplessly waiting for Morinaga Yuya.
"Captain Hagiwara! The timer is ticking again!!!"
“Run!”
The white cell phone fell to the ground, and Matsuda Jinpei's voice came out from it.
"Kenji!"
Morinaga Yuya hugged Hagiwara Kenji's neck tightly. Because of the sound of wind caused by the fast running, a violent white light appeared and heat hit his face.
Thick liquid dripped onto his hands, and Morinaga Yuya touched Hagiwara Kenji's carotid artery with trembling fingers.
It's beating.
"Yuya!"
Shinichi is here, thinking of this.
Morinaga Yuya closed his eyes with peace of mind and fell into a coma.
Downstairs, Jinpei Matsuda watched helplessly as thick smoke billowed from the 20th floor.
“This bastard!”
——
Shinichi Kudo, with several bandages wrapped around his body, sat next to Yuya Morinaga's bed.
"Does Yuya feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
Most of the debris that hit the stairwell was gone, and Kudo Shinichi only had a few scratches on his body from the flying debris.
Morinaga Yuya pointed to his ears and shook his head. He couldn't hear now.
Kudo Shinichi touched Morinaga Yuya's head, took out his cell phone and typed something for him to see.
[The doctor said that I might experience blast-induced hearing loss, but I don't need to be afraid.]
Morinaga Yuya nodded and typed on Kudo Shinichi's phone.
【Where is that good-looking brother? 】
[Don't worry, the doctor said his injuries aren't serious and he'll be discharged in a week at most. He's in the next ward now. Do you want to go see him?]
As soon as Kudo Shinichi finished fighting, he met Morinaga Yuya's bright eyes and reached out to him helplessly.
"Let's go."
Morinaga Yuya smiled widely, and the two walked hand in hand to the next ward.
Hagiwara Kenji, who was lying on the hospital bed with nothing to do, suddenly perked up, "They are two little detectives."
Kudo Shinichi pushed Morinaga Yuya in front of Hagiwara Kenji, "Yuya wants to come and see you, brother, but he can't hear now."
In fact, Kudo Shinichi now wants to follow his father to the Metropolitan Police Department to find out who the murderer is, but he is the only one who is free now and can take care of Morinaga Yuya.
Kenji Hagiwara reached out and carried Yuya Morinaga to the bed and sat him in his arms.
"Speaking of which, you can be considered our saviors."
This time, their team was some distance away from the bomb when the timer started again. Except for one person who was seriously injured and sent to the ICU, everyone survived safely.
If they had all gathered around the bomb at that time, they might have been wiped out by now.
Morinaga Yuya sat quietly in Hagiwara Kenji's arms, his ear against his chest, feeling the rise and fall of his every breath, and only then did he relax.
The silent world gradually became filled with noise, and the clearest sound was the heartbeat of Kenji Hagiwara.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
It’s great to be alive.
Hagiwara Kenji put his back against Morinaga Yuya's cheek, "Are you okay in this state, Yuya?"
"I was scared. Although Yuya has worked with me to solve cases before, this is the first time he has faced the possibility of someone dying in front of him."
