Chapter 149

According to the old rules, Nishihara Tadahiko sent Hoshikawa and Akira to the downstairs of the apartment building before leaving. Hoshikawa and Akira watched him leave, then he frowned and walked towards the door of his own unit with a heavy heart.

At this point, Xingchuan and Ming finally realized the benefits of Nishihara Tadahiko's awakening. Just now, in front of him, they didn't have to bother to hide their emotions, and they didn't have to worry about being questioned about the reasons for their emotional changes, and when they wanted to be alone, he would considerately leave early.

What a comfortable way of getting along. Of course, this is also because they have already analyzed that once Ryo Nagata died, no one should come to assassinate Xingchuan and Mingliao in a short time. And Ryo Nagata's sudden death was obviously done by Baifu himself, who finally learned of Ryo Nagata's whereabouts.

After all, to this winery cover who has not yet awakened, Nagata Ryo is already a real traitor. If he is not executed immediately after being found, is he going to be kept for the New Year?

Hoshikawa and Ming walked to the elevator door, and paused when they saw the sign on the door that said "Under maintenance, no entry allowed". They turned tiredly towards the emergency passage and began to climb the stairs, but their mind was already filled with all the news they had learned today.

What really disturbed Xingchuan Heming was the sudden discovery of his bloody identity and the news about his mother as a test subject. It must be said that the sudden discovery of his mother's existence and her past experiences had a great impact on Xingchuan Heming. Even Xingchuan Heming found it difficult to suppress his desire for the role of "mother" when he first heard such news.

But when Naoto Matsui finished telling the story, Hoshikawa and Akira regained their rationality and were able to look at the matter from a rational perspective. At the same time, their mother's identity as an experimental subject also left Hoshikawa and Akira with a lot of trouble.

With the identity of the son of a former experimental subject, the relationship between Hoshikawa and Minghe Brewery naturally soared from unrelated bystanders to a hostile relationship where the opponent would die if they did not resist.

Although Xingchuan Heming had thought about it when he first decided on the script that he would face the winery one day, he didn't expect it to happen so early. Originally, according to his idea, it should have started after all four vests were awakened. However, the reality still caught Xingchuan Heming off guard.

Now that the winery has obtained the list, it is still unknown what the other party will do next. Fortunately, so much time has passed, and the public security has deliberately concealed their identity information, so even if the winery wants to find the people from that year, it will take a lot of time.

During this period, Xingchuan and Ming need to open the last copy as soon as possible and pull the Baifu vest to their side, so that they can better deal with the winery's follow-up tricks and get more good reviews from the forum.

Xingchuan and Ming rubbed their aching foreheads and sighed tiredly. The inherent weakness buff of the vest and the lack of exercise for a long time made Xingchuan and Ming's physical strength much worse than before. They climbed halfway up the stairs when their legs became weak and had to stop to rest.

Although they are both wearing vests, the physical fitness of Nishihara Tadahiko and Momotomi vests is much better than his own. Hoshikawa Kazuaki admits that he is actually a little jealous.

But then he thought, no matter how good their physical condition was, they still had to obey his instructions in terms of plot design. Xingchuan and Ming felt superior and didn't even feel tired. So they continued to climb the stairs while thinking about opening the dungeon.

It is not an easy task to arrange Baifu Majia and Zhufu Jingguang to be in the same frame. The identities of these two people are too special, and Xingchuan and Ming have no good way to contact them. The difficulty of opening the fourth copy is probably the most difficult one among all the copies.

Hoshikawa and Akira thought about it and decided that the scenes related to Morobushi Kagemitsu could be arranged by Nishihara Tadahiko. However, the Momofumi Vest was obviously avoiding Nishihara Tadahiko, so if they wanted to lure him over, Hoshikawa and Akira could only act as bait. Fortunately, they had already obtained the contact information of the Momofumi Vest during the previous meeting outside the elevator. Otherwise, the task of luring the Momofumi into the frame would be even more difficult.

Xingchuan Heming thought for a while and decided to call Baifu Majia first. However, when he took out his mobile phone and pressed the button, the old screen did not light up as usual.

Feeling depressed, Xingchuan and Ming pouted pitifully. Their cell phones, which had just been repaired, broke down again without them knowing when. Could it be due to the influence of both themselves and Matsui Naoto?

Just as he was thinking about whether he should find time to repair his phone, Xingchuan Heming suddenly felt his hair stand on end, and he felt a chill all over his body. Urged by his strong intuition, he immediately bent down and rolled over. Then, the dull sound of a heavy object hitting the wall came from where Xingchuan Heming had been standing before.

Xingchuan and Ming looked back and saw a masked man in black holding a heavy wooden stick in both hands, smashing it hard on the place where they had just stood. The originally flat wall was dented, and spider-web-like cracks were spreading from the dent to the surroundings. They could also faintly hear the sound of the wall being broken.

Xingchuan and Ming were startled and their alertness was instantly raised to the highest level.

If I had not sensed the danger and dodged it in advance, my head would have been smashed.

Although Xingchuan Heming inherited the fighting talent of the vest and had fought with gangsters several times, it was the first time in his life that he faced a life-and-death crisis with pure malice.

After the initial shock, he immediately forced himself to stay calm and took out his cell phone from his pocket to call the police. However, Xingchuan and Ming soon remembered that their cell phones had been broken due to their unfortunate physical condition and they could not make calls at all.

The attacker came to his senses at this time, and his fierce eyes were directed towards Xingchuan and Ming. He raised the wooden stick with both hands and continued to hit Xingchuan and Ming's head without saying anything. Xingchuan and Ming quickly dodged with the physical skills they had practiced before, and wanted to kick the wooden stick away, but they found that because they climbed too high a staircase, their legs were sore and weak that they lacked the attack power, and the attacker easily dodged the flying kick.

Seeing that his attack failed, the attacker simply threw the stick in his hand to the ground, then reached into his arms, pulled out a dagger, and attacked Xingchuan and Ming.

The attacker's skills were clearly incomparable to those hooligans Xingchuan and Ming had dealt with before, and the dagger in his hand was also obviously different from the ordinary knives sold in supermarkets. The sharp tip flashed with a cold and dazzling cold light, and once stabbed, it would definitely leave a deep wound, not to mention using it to kill people. It was really a very useful weapon.

While dealing with the attacker's moves, Xingchuan and Ming also had to dodge the blade's arc through the air with great difficulty. Soon they were caught in a dilemma and were about to be attacked by the attacker. Xingchuan and Ming had to urgently seek help.

His fingers swept across the scarred keys of the phone, and realizing that the phone had been unusable for a long time, he simply threw the phone away and shook his head unconsciously.

"Officer Nishihara! I was attacked in the emergency passage. The identity of the attacker is unknown. Come and help!"

Nishihara Tadahiko, who was already on his way back, turned around and rushed towards Hoshikawa and Akira's apartment. He was filled with regret for his carelessness, and his face was extremely ugly. He wanted to rush to Hoshikawa and Akira immediately.

However, the situation was critical at this time. Nishihara Tadahiko had no time to rush back. Hoshikawa Kazuaki had also consumed too much energy from climbing the stairs before, and was completely at a disadvantage in front of the equally agile attacker.

The next moment, just when Xingchuan and Ming were unable to block and were about to be stabbed by the attacker, a hand suddenly stretched out from the back, pulled him in this critical moment, and led him to avoid the fatal blow.

Xingchuan and Ming were surprised. He had not noticed the presence of a third person before, not to mention the fact that someone approached him silently. The person who was able to perfectly avoid his perception must be a master.

The man who came was obviously also helping to deal with the attackers. No one knew how he did it, but after pulling Xingchuan and Ming apart, he used a few simple moves to directly transfer the battlefield away from Xingchuan and Ming, and instead dealt with the attackers holding sharp blades himself.

The arrival of help relieved Xingchuan and Ming's pressure. He took the opportunity to retreat from the battle circle breathlessly, and then he had the energy to look at the person who came to help and saved him from the attacker's knife. However, when he saw the identity of the person, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Okiya Subaru? This guy is obviously Akai Shuichi, how could he have saved me? No! Why did he suddenly appear in my apartment? And the timing of his appearance is too coincidental, could this guy be deliberately fishing?"

Xingchuan and Ming looked at the two people struggling with caution, but they did not feel relaxed at all because they were saved.

Another round of hurried footsteps came, and Xingchuan and Ming looked to the side in the direction of the emergency passage, only to see Conan running up the stairs quickly with his short legs, looking anxious. It was not until he saw Xingchuan and Ming standing there intact that he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sprinted to Xingchuan and Ming's side, bending over and gasping for breath.

Xingchuan and Ming were touched, and they held up Conan's shaky little body, and wanted to express their gratitude. Just as he was thinking of the right words, Conan spoke first:

"Okiya-nii noticed something was wrong while taking a walk, and suspected that the person who came in might be a bad guy who sneaked in on purpose, so he wanted to quietly follow and take a look. I didn't expect that the bad guy wanted to hurt you, Hoshikawa-nii. What a coincidence, haha."

Xingchuan Heming opened his mouth, but the words of thanks he had just prepared were stuck in his throat, and he was extremely embarrassed. He had reason to suspect that Conan was just passing the buck, but when he thought of Akai Shuichi's FBI identity, he was not sure whether the FBI was really investigating him secretly and happened to run into this incident.

When he turned his head to look at the two people fighting, the attacker was thrown to the ground by Okiya Subaru without any suspense. He was already dazed and unable to get up. The knife that was shining with cold light fell to the ground and slid far away, and could no longer hurt anyone.

Seeing Subaru Okiya stand up straight, touch his glasses with his hand, and smile shyly when he looked over, Hoshikawa and Akira's expressions froze. Subaru Okiya explained the reason for his sudden appearance seriously:

"I had always thought that this guy in black and mask didn't look like a good person. I was really worried, so I followed him to take a look. I didn't expect to see him attacking with a knife. Fortunately, I happened to catch up. Mr. Xingchuan was not injured, right?"

Xingchuan and Ming thanked him profusely, and at the same time, they tried their best to comfort Nishihara Tadahiko, who was on the verge of a rage, and finally made him believe that he was really safe.

Because Hoshikawa and Akira's cell phones were completely unusable, Okiya Subaru called the police, who quickly arrived, and Nishihara Tadahiko also mixed in with the police with a stern face. Hoshikawa and Akira could only smile at him ingratiatingly, and then received a warning glare.

The attacker's black veil was removed, revealing an ordinary face. Perhaps because Okiya Subaru had hit him too hard, the attacker fainted.

"Mr. Hoshikawa, do you know the person who attacked you?"

The police officer who responded turned out to be an old acquaintance, Takagi Wataru. After arranging for other police officers to investigate the scene, he began to ask Hoshikawa and Ming about the situation.

Xingchuan and Ming looked at this person carefully, then shrugged and said:

"Unfortunately, I do not know this person and I have no idea why he attacked me."

"Strange, it actually looks familiar."

Nishihara Tadahiko on the side suddenly spoke up, which immediately made Takagi's eyes light up.

"Officer Nishihara, do you know this person?"

Tadahiko Nishihara did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out his cell phone and quickly flipped through it. He soon found a photo from the police's internal files.

"Found it! This guy is a wanted criminal who has been missing for many years. I didn't expect him to suddenly appear here and attack Xingchuan for no apparent reason."

Nishihara Tadahiko looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki with an unfriendly look and said in a more serious tone:

"It seems that some people who have been emphasizing that they are safe are still too reassured too early. Don't worry, I will remember to send someone home directly next time to avoid being ambushed by others."

Xingchuan and Ming looked embarrassed, with a big drop of cold sweat dripping from their forehead.

What a bad idea! I didn't expect that even Officer Nishihara, who had just woken up, would start to worry about his own safety. Doesn't that mean that he would have to go back to being treated like an elementary school student?

When Takagi Wataru saw that Hoshikawa and Akira looked a little upset, he thought they were frightened by the sudden attack, so he quickly comforted them:

"Don't worry, Xingchuan. We will conduct an interrogation overnight when we return and we will find out as soon as possible why this person attacked you."

Upon hearing this, Hoshikawa Kazuaki looked at the unconscious attacker who had been taken away by the police and nodded with a complicated expression.

Although he still didn't know the reason for the attack, he had a feeling that from the moment the attacker appeared, his relatively peaceful life was completely gone.
