Chapter 109

Even after sending Hoshikawa and Akira safely back to the tower apartment, Date Kou did not tell them what the painting he was talking about was.

However, this did not have much impact on Hoshikawa Kazuaki, after all, there was a crucial plot waiting for him. So after watching Date Kou rush to the Metropolitan Police Department, Hoshikawa Kazuaki immediately began his performance.

He first called Tadahiko Nishihara.

Tadahiko Nishihara is a police officer belonging to the Special Crime Investigation Department, so he will not be involved in the explosives theft case that the Investigation Division has taken over.

At the same time, because he needed to escort Hoshikawa and Ming to and from get off work recently, Hoshikawa and Ming had received Nishihara Tadahiko's vacation schedule in advance, so they knew very well that today was the other's holiday.

After the call was connected, Hoshikawa Kazuaki said that he had something important to do today and he hoped that the other party could take time out to protect him along the way. Nishihara Tadahiko agreed without hesitation.

The important actors are already on the way, so Hoshikawa Kazuaki opens the consciousness connection and begins to contact Kagano Satoshi.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: Xiaozhi, I have contacted Nishihara Tadahiko. How are your preparations going?

Kagino Satoshi: I have separated from Kenji and have just hacked into the Beika Hotel, which has been set up with explosives. Well, I have successfully checked in and the room number has been sent to Kenji. You can just ask him directly later.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: Very good. When you go in, be careful not to look around intentionally for bombs. Just treat yourself as an ordinary tourist.

Kagino Satoshi: ...Xiaoxing, you shouldn't have reminded me. I had no intention of looking around for explosives, but now that you've reminded me, I can't help but start looking...

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: ...You see, this is the result of being brainwashed by Kogoro Mori's bragging.

After ending the connection with Kagamino Satoshi with a heavy heart, Hoshikawa Kazuaki sincerely hoped that Kagamino Satoshi would not learn Mori Kogoro's unlucky gambling luck.

Kagino Satoshi was depressed for only a second, and then Hoshikawa Kazuaki began to check the forum happily.

As he expected, after the corruption and poisoning cases at the orphanage, the forum readers were at their most emotional, but suddenly they were baptized by the adoption incident of Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Kagamino Satoshi, who were adopted as children, and they immediately wailed.

[It turns out that Xiao Xingxing and Xiao Zhi actually had such a past. In order to prevent Xiao Zhi from being put in solitary confinement, Xiao Xingxing took all the punishments by herself, but what was the result? After the solitary confinement, the childhood friendship was lost? ]

[No! I don’t want Xiaozhi to be taken away. He is Xiaoxingxing’s only friend! Wuuuu my little Xingxing, you will be alone from now on ah ah ah ah, I am so heartbroken.]

[Xiaozhi is so lucky. He just scribbled on public facilities, but he was adopted directly? If he is not the emperor, then who is the emperor? ]

[What is the Martian language being spoken upstairs! How is Xiaozhi lucky? He has been regretting for so many years, and he is even afraid to go back and see Xiaoxingxing. My poor Xiaozhi, I am so heartbroken.]

…

Just then, when everyone thought that the childhood sweethearts would resolve their misunderstandings and reconcile under the Wall of Honor, Xiaozhi suddenly changed his attitude and forced them to break off their friendship.

Then, when everyone thought that Xiaozhi was afraid of getting Xiaoxing involved, the comic gave Xiaozhi a close-up shot and said in a large text box:

I am willing to go astray in order to protect my friends in the dark!

The forum exploded immediately.

【Ahhhh my Satoshi, I was killed by the knife directly aaaaaah】

[I'm so sad. This is really making me cry. No, I really didn't expect that Xiaozhi, such a deceitful and arrogant little cutie, would actually be so manly! Love it.]

[Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, you are my hero ahhhhh]

…

This part about Xiaozhi's self-sacrifice to protect his friends was designed by Xingchuan and Ming with great effort. Fortunately, the effect is really good. The forum was immediately emotional, and Xingchuan and Ming were very satisfied with the reaction in the forum.

What surprised Hoshikawa and Akira was that the comic book actually included the plot in copy 2, where Kagamino Satoshi asked Hagiwara Kenji to look after Hoshikawa and Akira outside the abandoned factory.

This further highlights what Satoshi Kagano did secretly for Hoshikawa and Akira, making the comic more touching, and the forum readers immediately became crazy fans of Satoshi Kagano.

Until the very end, when Hoshikawa Kazuaki told Date Kou in a seemingly calm manner that he didn't believe that Kagino Satoshi would really break up with him, and said that even if they faced danger, he would face it together with Kagino Satoshi, the forum almost cheered for the childhood sweethearts at the same time.

Xingchuan and Ming counted the readers and found that except for a few readers who liked the sword that went off the beaten path, almost everyone was moved by the true friendship between Xiaoxing and Xiaozhi.

Xingchuan and Ming were very satisfied with this.

After all, the more readers are moved by the characters now, the more readers will choose to give favorable reviews to the new comics when the forum votes in the end. By then, as long as the number of people exceeds half, Hoshikawa and Akira will be able to truly survive in the world of science.

Closing the comic book, Hoshikawa Kazuaki once again checked the script for the next performance in his mind.

This is the key plot that determines whether the third instance can be successfully triggered. Hoshikawa Kazuaki added it temporarily based on his experience in triggering the second instance and the information provided by Kagino Satoshi.

At this time, Tadahiko Nishihara rang the doorbell of the apartment building.

At the same time, in a small, very secret room with closed doors and windows, a thin, pale man was making a phone call.

If Conan Edogawa was here at this moment, he would definitely recognize immediately that the man in front of him was the deceased's classmate, Ryo Nagata, who appeared as the third suspect in the poisoning case at Poirot Café a year ago.

At the same time, he was also the real mastermind behind the poisoning case in the tower apartment and the monitor who wanted to kill Xingchuan and Ming.

"Moshi Moshi? Mr. Kamimura, don't worry, I have already buried explosives in several important landmark buildings. When the time comes, they will be detonated one by one in sequence, which will definitely attract most of the police force in Tokyo.

At that time, the people you arrange can sneak into those research institutes at the same time and safely transport all the remaining items and data in that laboratory. Those policemen will not react, and even if they react, they will definitely not be able to get there in time. "

"Hmph! Nagata Ryo, I hope you don't forget that in addition to the mission of retrieving the laboratory data, you must eliminate Xingchuan and Ming Zaori as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if you complete the assessment mission this time, I will not apply for an organizational code name for you from the boss."

The man on the phone had a cold voice, carrying the aura of a superior. It seemed that killing a person was as easy and casual for him as crushing an ant.

It was obvious that Ryo Nagata was very concerned about what the other party said, and his tone was a little more serious than before.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Kamimura. Not only you, but I personally also want to kill Xingchuan and Ming as soon as possible. Last time in the tower apartment, we were about to succeed, but unfortunately there was an accident in the middle, which allowed that guy to escape.

But this time, I had already received the news that he was going to meet someone at the Rice Flower Hotel, so I prepared enough explosives in advance to ensure that nothing would go wrong. "

After hanging up the phone, Nagata Ryo turned his gaze to the dartboard hanging on the wall. In the middle of the dartboard was a photo, which was full of darts. There were so many holes in the photo that the face of the person inside was almost completely covered. It was impossible to recognize who was in the photo.

However, Nagata Ryo walked straight forward, pulled out the dart, and then stabbed it again fiercely as shown in the photo. He had a ferocious expression and said viciously:

"Hoshikawa Kazuaki! As long as you exist, Lord Baifu will never really look at me. But today, as long as today passes, you will completely disappear from the world. And I can get a code name, become a code member, and get closer to Lord Baifu.

I will re-enter his field of vision and become a more important child than you. I will completely replace you, get all the attention of Lord Baifu, and get everything you once had!"
