Chapter 146

Speaking of the person that Hoshikawa Yuka called "younger brother", Matsui Naoto's expression was confused for a moment, then he shook his head and said apologetically:

"In fact, I don't know who that person is. The laboratory's management of experimental subjects is actually very strict, and they are not allowed to have too much contact with each other. Only Sister Youjia, as an experimenter, can contact everyone, so although I know that there was a child who was taken care of by her like a younger brother, I don't know who that person is."

Xingchuan and Ming nodded, indicating that they didn't mind. He just thought that he suddenly had an uncle, but now it seems that he is probably just a child that his mother takes special care of, not another blood relative of his.

"Afterwards, we were temporarily placed in the police station to wait for news. Until the police completely closed down the laboratory, we did not see Sister Youjia's brother and the remaining children. They disappeared with the experimenters."

Naoto Matsui said dejectedly.

"Missing?" Xingchuan and Ming were stunned.

"It should have been secretly evacuated by the forces behind the laboratory. Although I cannot find out the specific details with my authority, it is certain that due to the sudden search by the police and the surrender of some data, the laboratory has been completely abandoned by the other party. After that, the police never received any further news from the other party."

There was a hint of mystery in Nishihara Tadahiko's eyes when he looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki, and Hoshikawa Kazuaki immediately realized that "no further news" was just a statement to the outside world.

Because it is obvious that the force behind the laboratory is the Black Organization. Although the police do not know the existence of the Black Organization openly, they have clashed with it many times in secret and obtained a lot of intelligence from it through undercover investigations.

The reason why Nishihara Tadahiko said this at this time was probably because he took into consideration that although Matsui Naoto was the person involved, he was just an ordinary person when you think about it.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki nodded obediently, indicating that he knew about the situation in the laboratory. He then looked in the direction of Nishihara Tadahiko and opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, but when he got to the point of his mouth, he didn't know how to open his mouth.

"What do you want to say?" Nishihara Tadahiko saw his hesitation and asked directly.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki took a deep breath, looked at the two people, especially the former victim Matsui Naoto, and asked:

"So, since you guys managed to escape, what happened to my mother?"

Xingchuan Heming was both excited and nervous. As a child who grew up in an orphanage, he knew clearly that he was picked up and sent there as an abandoned child, which meant that his biological parents either had an accident or completely abandoned him. Of course, based on what he later heard from the teachers at the orphanage about his condition when he was picked up, it was more likely that he had an accident.

The former little Hoshikawa Kazuaki would inevitably feel sad because of his childhood without his parents, and now Hoshikawa Kazuaki, who has inherited the vest emotion, will naturally feel regretful. But now, when he first heard about his mother's experience, and these experiences were so dangerous and admirable, he was really worried about his former mother, but at the same time, he actually felt a little proud.

As a subject under strict control of the laboratory, Yuka Hoshikawa not only managed to obtain the identity of an experimenter through her own efforts in a harsh living environment, but also managed to secretly explore the safe route of the laboratory, and seized the opportunity in time after the earthquake to lead the subjects around her to escape in time, and even had enough energy to lead the police back to save people. Although the police were a step late and failed to successfully rescue the remaining subjects, just based on these descriptions, we can imagine how excellent Yuka Hoshikawa's performance was.

Xingchuan and Ming were orphans in two consecutive lives. Now that they had heard about their mother, even though they had already guessed it, they could not help but feel a bit of inexplicable expectation. He looked at Matsui Naoto with some expectation, but the other party just shook his head with an expression of obvious apology.

"I'm sorry. After we were rescued, the police helped us cover up our past information and arranged new identities for us to start a new life, but we also completely cut off contact with each other. So since then, I have never seen those "companions" again."

Xingchuan and Ming were stunned for a moment, and the little bit of happiness in their hearts calmed down. At the same time, they couldn't help but laugh at their unrealistic thoughts. His rationality returned again, and he smiled at the other party in a soothing manner.

Naoto Matsui sighed with emotion, and when he looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki, his expression was filled with deep nostalgia, as if he was looking at someone else through Hoshikawa Kazuaki's faces.

"When you smile, you look exactly like your mother. Your eyes are a little different, probably because you got them from your father. I never thought that the teacher I always admired, Hoshinokawa, is actually Yuka-san's child."

Matsui Naoto said with a smile:

"I've heard that you grew up in an orphanage. Now that I know you're Yuka's child, I should tell you about her. By the way, I'll also tell you about the experimental subject."

Xingchuan Heming was stunned and sat up straight subconsciously.

"Our subjects basically all have the characteristic of glowing eyes. This comes from experiments we have participated in, which will accumulate some luminescent substances in the eyes, which will emit yellow light under certain circumstances.

However, because everyone's eye color is different, the original yellow light will change color, so the color of the light in everyone's eyes will appear different. For example, my eye color is brown, so it will emit a dark orange light. "

Matsui Naoto looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki's eyes carefully again, then nodded and said, "As expected, your eye color is blue, so it emitted a green light when the elevator fell into darkness."

Xingchuan and Ming immediately thought of the eyes of the hooded vest they had seen before. The other person's eyes had once emitted an orange-red glow in the dim underground parking lot, which actually gave people a warm illusion. Now it seems that it was because the other person's eyes were red.

"In addition to the eyes, there are also responses to and interference with electronic signals. I just didn't expect that the physical reactions that only we, the experimental subjects, would have would also appear in you. This is probably related to the fact that your mother was an experimental subject."

Seeing his sad expression, Xingchuan and Ming simply asked the questions that had been in their minds for a long time:

"But I don't understand what this strange body reaction is for? Why did the original laboratory conduct such an experiment?"

Matsui Naoto curled his lips in disgust and replied with some anger:

"Who knows why they have such a fantastic idea. I just vaguely remember that the effect they want to achieve is to interfere with and read electronic signals directly through the human body. As for the eye issue, it is probably a side effect. Those guys are just a bunch of lunatics. Who knows what they are thinking."

Hoshikawa Kazuaki noticed the other party's rejection and disgust towards the so-called "those guys", and guessed that the other party was referring to the researchers who used them as experiments, so he tactfully stopped mentioning it. He just compared the other party's situation with his own in his mind, and then confirmed that he did not have the characteristic of "sensing electronic signals" compared to these experimental subjects.

Next, Matsui Naoto, as a "senior experimenter", combined his own personal experience to explain to Hoshikawa and Ming the necessity of hiding the special features of the eyes. Hoshikawa and Ming smiled helplessly in their hearts, because their eyes glowed, which had already been seen by Conan and Amuro Toru. And those two guys knew this, which meant that the Red Team had already guessed their identity.

When I first met them, I was still convinced that I had no connection with the winery, and I was not afraid at all. But I didn't expect that I had such a background, and that the Red Team discovered that my eyes glowed. Sooner or later, they would also know about this connection between me and the winery.

When I come into contact with them again in the future, I might become passive because of this.

And most importantly, the winery lost this batch of experimental subjects 20 years ago. Did they really not care about it afterwards? Why did his mother let him drift to the orphanage and never heard from him again? Why did Nishihara Tadahiko get involved in this matter?

Looking at Nishihara Tadahiko, who was sitting beside them pretending to be a wooden man during the conversation between them and Matsui Naoto, Hoshikawa and Ming solved their previous doubts, but they had more new doubts.

The experience sharing session ended quickly. Matsui Naoto looked at the time on his watch and added:

"That's all I have to say. Let's stop here for today. I have to work the late shift tonight."

Having said this, he once again warmly said goodbye to Xingchuan and Ming, and only left with satisfaction after getting Xingchuan and Ming's promise that they would find time to draw a set of character comics for him in person next time.

Only Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Nishihara Tadahiko were left in the small private room. They sat across the table from each other, with a photocopy of the newspaper spread out on the table. The two looked at each other in silence, and finally chose to communicate directly with their minds.

"So, this conversation tonight was actually arranged by you? What's the meaning of it? Is it just to tell me about my mother?" Hoshikawa Kazuaki tapped the table with his fingers to hide his inappropriate anxiety.

When facing his own vest, Hoshikawa Kazuaki feels at ease when communicating with Kagamino Tomo, and he can almost grasp any reaction and thoughts of the other party. However, when contacting Nishihara Tadahiko, Hoshikawa Kazuaki deeply feels that the other party is indeed a police officer who has been in the police force for many years. Whether it is his style of doing things or his control of the situation, he is very comfortable, and he is definitely not comparable to Kagamino Tomo.

In addition, his profession as a policeman and his close connection with the public security department make him hold a lot of intelligence that Xingchuan and Ming don't know. Therefore, Xingchuan and Ming will naturally pay more attention to Nishihara Tadahiko's actions, and even suspect whether there is some deeper meaning behind it that they don't know.

"Well, actually, this topic was not my idea. It was really Naoto Matsui who took the initiative to talk to you because your appearance reminded him of something."

Nishihara Tadahiko smiled helplessly, but Hoshikawa and Ming glanced at the photocopied newspaper still on the table, and the meaning was self-evident.

Even the newspapers were prepared in advance, and you still say it wasn't planned by you?

Seeing Hoshikawa and Ming like this, Nishihara Tadahiko's helpless expression became even more intense. He put his hand on his forehead and smiled bitterly:

"Oh, I knew you would misunderstand me. But he did bring up the conversation at the bomb site. I just thought the timing was right, so I took the opportunity to schedule it for him."

Hoshikawa Kazuaki suddenly remembered that when the bomb in the hotel was discovered, Matsui Naoto had indeed taken the time to make a simple appointment with him to meet, and the doubts in his heart could not help but fade away.

"Okay, now I remember, there seems to be such a reason. But since you are so well prepared, it means that what happened today is related to you."

Xingchuan and Mingmin pointed out the problem sharply:

"So, you probably had some plans in mind, and just happened to run into Matsui Naoto's story, so you joined in on this conversation. But what I can't figure out is, given Matsui Naoto's careful and secret-keeping nature, why would he agree to let you join, and how did he confirm your credibility?"

Nishihara Tadahiko stared at Xingchuan and Ming for a while, then smiled and shook his head, saying:

"As expected, you are indeed very sharp. No wonder you are highly regarded by the outside world." As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the photocopy of the newspaper on the table.

"Are you admitting it? So what are you thinking? Do you have any plans? Could it be related to the last vest that was also a test subject - Balvenie Whiskey?" Hoshikawa Kazuaki's eyes lit up and he asked.

General Nishihara Tadahiko's expression was complicated, and he sighed and said:

"It does have something to do with the subject. However, although I also want to get rid of Toshiya's cover as soon as possible, based on the information I have and the current situation, it is more important for us to first gain the recognition and protection of the Red Team."

Xingchuan Heming was a little surprised, but Nishihara Tadahiko suddenly looked at him seriously and asked:

"Xingchuan, do you know that you will soon be targeted by the winery?"
