Chapter 30

The alleys under the tower apartment were crisscrossed and were too old and narrow. Ida Hang's car could not drive in at all, and he could only park outside the alley every time.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki climbed out of the passenger seat expertly, holding his laptop bag, and Date Kou waved goodbye hastily before closing the door and driving away in a flash. His mission was completed, and he could finally go pick up his girlfriend.

By this time it was beginning to get dark.

Xingchuan and Ming took the elevator back to their home. Before taking out the key to open the door, they first gently wiped the keyhole with their fingers.

Rubbing the area around the keyhole with the sensitive fingertips is actually sensing whether there are any signs of prying. Xingchuan and Ming have developed this habit since the door lock was pried open and replaced a few days ago.

Although he didn't think he would be so unlucky as to have his lock broken twice in a row, out of awe of the incidence of cases in the scientific world, he decided to follow the local customs.

Every time he checked before, there was nothing wrong with the door lock. However, this time, Xingchuan Heming's finger paused slightly, staying very close to the keyhole, and his expression changed from indifference to more and more solemn.

Hoshikawa and Ming leaned over and examined it carefully in the dim light of the corridor.

Sure enough, the previous feeling was correct, and traces of prying appeared on the brand new door lock again.

After a moment of worry, all that was left in his mind was absurdity.

Pried again?

What's going on? Why do so many of you like to pick my door lock?

Can't you just go to another store? Changing the lock is very expensive.

Fortunately, there are no valuable things stored in the house. The only valuable thing is an old computer, which I am now holding in my arms.

Of course, if you hold it in your arms for too long, it could turn into a broken computer at any time.

So, after knowing that your house has been broken into and the situation inside is unclear, should you just open the door and go in?

Of course if you have any problem, you should call the police.

Xingchuan and Ming immediately took out their phones and were about to call Date Kou. Although they felt a little sorry for Date Kou who was rushing to a date, their own safety was more important, and they believed that Date Kou would not mind.

However, it was not until they saw the black screen on their mobile phones that Xingchuan and Ming finally remembered that their mobile phones had been damaged by their own strange physiques and they could not make any calls at all.

There really is nothing I can do now. And I can't stay away from home forever, right?

Well, just be careful and it should be fine.

After calming down, Xingchuan and Ming quickly opened the door with the key, while carefully watching the surroundings for fear of the appearance of enemies.

The room was dark and very quiet. Xingchuan and Ming reached out and stroked the wall, then turned on the light with a click.

Then he saw the mess in the room and was stunned.

I saw that the comics and draft papers that were originally arranged were thrown on the ground in a haphazard manner, the drawers were open, and the clothes in the closet were turned out. The whole room looked like it had been looted by robbers.

However, what really surprised Xingchuan and Ming was the tall man who had been standing by the window.

The figure of the man looked familiar, with slightly curly red hair and a faintly visible dark butterfly birthmark on his forehead. His smooth and powerful muscle lines made the slightly tight clothes bulge slightly.

The most important thing is that Xingchuan and Ming recognized at once that the hoodie that person was wearing was the largest size one in their closet.

Is this robber so picky?

However, the memory that was triggered instantly told him that the guy who broke into his home without permission and even turned the room into a mess was someone he had known since childhood!

"… is it you?"

Hoshikawa Kazuaki tried hard to remember how he had addressed him.

However, I don’t know if there is really something wrong with my memory or if this is the fact. In my memory, I don’t even have any name for him!

Every time we met, there was no one around. I knew who I was talking to the moment I opened my mouth, and there was no need to address him.

The man was leaning against the window with his head down in the shadows. He looked up when he heard the voices of Xingchuan and Ming.

However, just one glance was enough to make Xingchuan and Ming feel cold from head to toe.

The sharp and cold gaze, the expressionless face, the seemingly casual posture that seemed ready to attack at any moment, it seemed that this person had become synonymous with danger just by standing there.

Feeling the oppression and coldness in those dark red eyes, Xingchuan Heming shuddered and his feet unconsciously retracted, but he forced himself to hold it back.

He didn't know why he was afraid of this person, nor why his body instinctively stopped him from resisting. He could only look at him blankly, waiting for this person to speak.

The man looked at Hoshikawa and Ming who were completely frozen, and frowned, but at the same time he restrained the aura that was emanating from him.

"You're having contact with the police again," he said.

Xingchuan and Ming nodded hesitantly, not quite understanding what the other person meant.

There have been a lot of things happening recently, including murder, poisoning, and being picked up and dropped off at get off work. He has come into contact with the police too many times. He was a little confused about which time the other party was referring to.

Wait! How did he know I had contact with the police?

Only then did Xingchuan and Ming recover from their shock and stiffness, and their brains finally started to function.

Who is this person?

Why did you suddenly appear in my house?

Why are you unhappy with my contact with the police?

Also, why was he spying on me?

A chill suddenly rose up, rushing along the spine to the brain, causing Xingchuan and Ming to shiver involuntarily.

He suddenly realized that although he was afraid of this person, he instinctively did not put on guard.

What's going on? Even if he's someone I knew before, it's just my first meeting with him. I can't possibly trust him, right?

Also, how should I answer the police's questions? Being stared at by his dark red eyes is really frightening!

Seeing that Xingchuan and Ming did not respond, the man looked at him from head to toe in confusion. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he immediately dropped his arms and walked straight towards Xingchuan and Ming.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki noticed that this person made no sound when he walked.

The man came and stood in front of Xingchuan Heming, pinched his chin with his fingers, slid his fingertips along the side of his face to his temples, and finally fumbled behind his ears for a while before finally letting go.

He took a deep look at Xingchuan and Ming's faces, which were much softer than those of people of the same age, and then looked away stiffly.

Although this person had no expression on his face the entire time, Xingchuan and Ming were quick to notice that after confirming the authenticity of his face, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling of fear disappeared immediately. At least Xingchuan and Ming could be sure that this person had no ill intentions towards them for the time being.

So what he said before, was it really just that he wanted to know about his current situation?

But why is there a hint of dissatisfaction in his words?

Is it because coming into contact with the police means that he has been in trouble, or is it that for him, the police are actually the trouble themselves?

But it's really troublesome that this strange man appears in my home.

He began to think quietly about how to deal with it.

"I heard you were in the hospital again?" the man suddenly said.

"Oh, yes." Xingchuan and Ming responded.

But then he noticed that the man actually had a gun in his hand that was similar to the one Ida Ko had, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

Although this unexpected person looks dangerous, it doesn't mean he is necessarily a trouble.

If handled properly, can you use it to accomplish things that you cannot do yourself?

For example, the other party just mentioned going to the hospital...

Xingchuan Heming lowered his eyes, raised his face imperceptibly, and pursed the corners of his mouth, looking stubborn and pitiful.

"Yes, I was just discharged from the hospital not long ago, and I was ambushed by a strange guy. I was beaten into a coma and then I was admitted to the hospital."

Then he tilted his head slightly, pretending to be thoughtful, and continued:

"In fact, I suspected that he was planning something against me. But I had no other choice but to get closer to the police, so that if I was attacked again, I might be able to find someone who could help me."

Xingchuan Heming's voice is gentle and his tone is calm. Combined with the content of his words, it makes people feel that such an experience is so innocent and pitiful that people can't help but want to help him.

No one could fail to see that in his heart he actually wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to give that pink-haired Subaru Okiya a hard time in order to avenge that punch.

He had noticed just now that this person had been avoiding looking into his eyes and instead paying special attention to his face.

Although I don't know what's wrong with this person, it's better to be cautious and not to be too harsh with your eyes to avoid touching any taboos that I'm not aware of.

The person on the other side was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you want me to deal with that person for you?"

Xingchuan and Ming were choked all of a sudden.

What's going on?

Shouldn't he be touched by his own pitiful experience and then be filled with righteous indignation to vent his anger? Why can I see it at the first glance!

Oh no, this guy seems to have a bad temper. If he finds out my purpose, will it be harmful to me?

However, the other party ignored Xingchuan and Ming's momentary panic. He just snorted, his tone still calm:

"So, where's your script?"

"...What?" Xingchuan and Ming were confused again.

The man looked a little impatient: "Since you want me to take action, don't you have a script prepared?"

Xingchuan and Ming blinked and quickly looked away before their eyes met. He was extremely surprised. Just agreed like that? So easy? Then why did I pretend to be so cool just now?

He immediately put away that expression and began to think about what the other party was talking about. Was it an action plan?

That's weird, do you need to plan ahead to beat someone up?

Oh, by the way, the opponent is Shuichi Akai after all, and this guy may not be able to defeat him.

So Xingchuan and Ming tried to test him: "The opponent's strength and alertness are very high, you..."

He originally wanted to ask "Can you handle it?", but under the man's cold gaze, he had to quickly change his words:

"You can lure him out first, sneak up on him in a trap you set in advance, and then get away before the police arrive."

The man was obviously shocked by such a crude script. He was stunned for a moment before he sneered and said sarcastically:

"That's it? Where did your ability to make up stories go?"

Being ridiculed in person, Xingchuan Heming felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and a sense of ruthlessness finally arose in his heart.

Didn't you ask me for a script? I'll write a script for you on the spot and see whether you can beat up Akai Shuichi in the end, or get punched away by Akai Shuichi too.

"The target is staying at Kudo's house at 2-21, Beika-cho. Our goal is to give him a good beating and accuse him of some random crime. Oh, and let's just burglarize the house. I heard that a thief and murderer has been roaming around here recently..."

Anyway, that guy is so strong, and even if he is caught, he can escape safely. I dug such a big hole for him, which can be regarded as revenge for the punch last time.

Xingchuan and Ming finally raised their eyes, and looked at the man with a rare sharpness in their eyes, and said jokingly:

"Well, we need to get this thief and murderer first to use as a prop. If it were you, you would have a way, right?"

Feeling the provocation in the words, the man glanced at Xingchuan and Ming, his eyes suddenly turned cold, the air around them stagnated, and a cold and murderous aura spread in the air.

Xingchuan and Ming suppressed the sudden palpitations and calmly stated their plan.

The man did not refuse, but just sneered and said, "Who do you think pried open your door lock?" Then he reached out to pull up the hood behind him, covered his face with the mask, motioned for Xingchuan and Ming to follow him, and left without looking back.

Xingchuan and Ming stared blankly at the man's back, and suddenly they understood where the sense of familiarity came from when they first saw him.

It didn't come from his own inconsistent memory, but from what he saw directly in the system comics, the hooded man in black who was followed by Conan in the alley downstairs!

It turns out that this guy and I know each other?

Shuichi Akai, I think I accidentally gave you a big gift this time!

I just don’t know if you will cry with excitement after receiving it.

The author has something to say:

After nearly a month of meeting with you all, the story of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is about to be published. Thanks to your company and support over the past month, I have enough confidence and motivation to firmly believe that I can write an interesting story. And for my dear readers, it must become more and more interesting.

I always hope to be able to give everyone a sufficiently exciting story, one that makes them laugh out loud, or feel thoroughly satisfied, or feel thrilling, or leave them wanting more... However (a little embarrassed) I don't seem to have done any of these (crying face)

As a new author, I still have a lot to learn and improve, and many things are not good enough. But I will continue to work hard and improve my skills as much as possible, and strive to make the story more exciting, more interesting, and closer to the good stories in your mind and mine.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from your support and encouragement. I sincerely hope that I can always happily write and read articles with you, discuss your favorite plots, and experience a different world of novels together.

Thank you for your love, which gives me motivation every time I read it. Thank you for sharing your reading experience and valuable suggestions, which are treasures that help me write better stories. Thank you for your company all the time, which makes me full of motivation to think about writing another chapter...
