Chapter 33

Looking at the young man who walked out from the light, Akai Shuichi's heart, which had already sunk, began to surge again.

This boy who suddenly appeared obviously knew something. If he could prove his innocence...

Hoshikawa and Ming looked in the direction that Date Kou pointed, but when they saw the person illuminated by the car lights, they were stunned.

"Mr. Okiya? Why is it you?"

Yi Dahang frowned upon hearing this and said:

"Why, Xingchuan, you actually know him?"

Xingchuan and Ming hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said:

"The guy I told you about before, the one who suddenly showed up and mistook me for a kidnapper, that's him."

"Is that him? The one who punched you and sent you to the hospital?"

Ida Ko's tone suddenly became filled with anger.

He thought of the fighting power that Subaru Okiya had just displayed, and his rage suddenly grew even stronger.

One punch knocked the man unconscious. How hard did this guy hit him?

Hoshikawa Kazuaki turned his head and looked in the direction of Okiya Subaru. His pale and weak face made him look a little pitiful at this moment, and his blue eyes still carried the grievance of being mistreated.

At a time like this when he needed the other person's help and was stared at like this, Okiya Subaru's originally resolute heart suddenly felt a surge of guilt.

Even though he had apologized after the incident, that didn't mean his apology to Xingchuan and Ming would disappear.

Even because Xingchuan Heming was so tolerant and generous and forgave him on the spot, his guilt was deepened.

But now, his identities have been reversed, and he has been mistakenly identified as a criminal by the police and is about to be arrested.

However, the only person who could prove his identity at the scene was Xingchuan and Ming, whom he had deeply hurt.

Akai Shuichi looked at the gentle boy standing in the light with complicated expressions, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart for a moment.

When I first met him, I had made a careless mistake and accused him of kidnapping without asking for any reason, and even injured him directly. Now, I have to rely on him to clear my name.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation, even a strong-willed person like Shuichi Akai couldn't help but feel a bit of shame.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki observed Okiya Subaru in the light of the car lights behind him, and noticed that his eyes, which had been narrowed, had opened without him noticing. His dark green eyes were staring at him without blinking, and there was obvious guilt spreading in them.

Guilt? Akai Shuichi actually feels guilty!

This discovery made Xingchuan Heming feel very novel. At the same time, he also realized that the emotional changes in Akai Shuichi's heart were much richer than those of most ordinary people.

It seems that he is just good at controlling himself normally, and is not good at expressing his emotions. But once something happens, his inner turmoil is no less than anyone else's.

This is perfect. Not only can I succeed in my revenge tonight, but I may also be able to improve his favor and successfully dispel his suspicion of me.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Xingchuan and Ming.

It seemed that his words alone could directly determine Okiya Subaru's fate. Whether he was arrested and brought to justice as a thief and murderer, or released on the spot as an innocent suspect, it all depended on his will.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki looked at Okiya Subaru's expectant expression, but his first reaction was to hesitate.

Shuichi Akai immediately understood that Hoshikawa Kazuaki was not as indifferent to the harm he had caused him last time as he appeared to be.

The on-the-spot understanding at that time was more out of courtesy. In fact, deep down, the other party has always been very bothered.

Akai Shuichi actually understood this very well. After all, no matter who was in the situation last time, it would be impossible for them to be completely free of resentment.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki's performance is actually considered very cultured.

If it were someone else, they might have held on to me and refused to give in.

On the contrary, if there really was someone who acted as if he didn't care at all about his actions, unless that person was a saint, even Akai Shuichi would secretly say that he was very scheming and then be on his guard.

Therefore, in Shuichi Akai's view, the hesitation shown by Hoshikawa and Ming at this time is actually the most real and reasonable.

He gave up his previous plan in his heart.

Since the only person who knew his identity still held a grudge against him, Shuichi Akai even thought that he would never be able to clean up the blame he had received tonight.

However, what Akai Shuichi did not expect was that just when he was about to give up completely, Xingchuan and Ming suddenly shouted to the police present:

"Please wait a moment!"

Akai Shuichi was finally shocked this time. He looked over in astonishment, only to see Xingchuan and Ming bathed in the light, their eyes clear and bright, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if I had already made the decision beforehand to let out all my depression and dissatisfaction in this breath.

Then Xingchuan and Ming looked up at the police officer who was obviously in charge of the team. With a firm look in his eyes and a sincere tone, he pointed in the direction of Akai Shuichi and said word by word:

"Officer, I can assure you that the man you just arrested is not a thief and murderer who has recently moved to this area. Although he is a good fighter, he is indeed a university graduate student. I saw him in the hospital a few days ago."

Having said this, Hoshikawa Kazuaki even glanced at the shocked Akai Shuichi and said with a smile:

“Although this person may hit people impulsively, he is actually a kind person who cares about children.”

Although Shuichi Akai looked very embarrassed by what he said, at the same time, he suddenly felt a long-lost emotion in his heart.

It was not until now that he understood what decision Xingchuan and Ming had made at that moment.

It's not that Xingchuan Heming has no resentment towards himself, but when he saw that he, an innocent man, was about to be charged with a crime that did not belong to him, he resolutely chose to give up the resentment in his heart.

He poured out all his dissatisfaction and complaints in one breath, then smiled and gave the most powerful and important testimony at that moment.

Akai Shuichi's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

Does this young man know how precious the warmth of humanity he displayed at that moment is, as he was willing to let bygones be bygones to clear the grievances of someone who had wronged and hurt him?

This may be because Xingchuan Heming is kind by nature and does not want to see innocent people being wronged. Even if that person is himself who has hurt him, he would rather put aside the grudge and help himself.

At this moment, in Akai Shuichi's eyes, Hoshikawa Kazuaki was standing in the light, but he himself was more dazzling than the light around him. The warmth he radiated from the inside out actually made him feel a faint warmth in his heart.

Shuichi Akai is never afraid of trouble, nor will he be extremely happy just because a particular trouble is solved.

But he would be deeply moved to be able to feel the warmth and light emanating from Xingchuan and Ming at this moment.

This made him, who had been immersed in a vortex of darkness for a long time, feel the long-lost light full of hope.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki, even though he was involved in a poisoning case for unknown reasons, and might even be secretly watched by a suspicious man in black, it is undeniable that he is indeed a kind and warm treasure boy.

When the police from the SIT unit learned that the person who first reported the case and claimed to have encountered a thief and murderer was actually Hoshikawa Kazuaki himself, they finally chose to believe his testimony and released Akai Shuichi on the spot.

As for the hooded man who identified Okiya Subaru as the thief and murderer in front of the police from the beginning, Hoshikawa Kazuaki testified that he just met him on the road and agreed to help chase the criminal. However, the two of them chased in the wrong direction in the alley and saw the wrong person, so he mistakenly thought that Okiya Subaru was the escaped criminal.

So the whole thing really seems to be just a big misunderstanding.

"You shouldn't have chased after that thief and murderer from the beginning!" Date Kou pulled Xingchuan and Ming in front of him and lectured them, "Fortunately you didn't catch up with him in the end, otherwise you would have been in danger again."

"Hmm... Brother Ida, I actually wanted to tell you something a long time ago, but you interrupted me when I first came here, so I didn't remember it until now."

Hoshikawa and Akira quickly diverted Date Kou's attention.

"Oh? What do you want to tell me? Is it exactly about 'Why you chased a criminal and almost got yourself killed'?"

Seeing that Date Kou's tone was becoming increasingly dangerous, Xingchuan and Ming quickly threw out a bombshell:

"But I finally caught the thief and murderer this time."

"What did you say?!"

Ida Hang was almost shocked: "Didn't you say later that you chased the wrong person?"

Xingchuan and Mingzhen said: "It was the passerby who accidentally chased the wrong person. I was following the criminal and caught him directly."

He pointed to the taxi that had been parked on the side of the road and hinted, "I think you should go inside the car and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Date Ko strode towards the taxi, and indeed found the real criminal who was still unconscious in the back seat of the car.

"Is this the thief and murderer you met?"

He turned around in disbelief:

"You actually caught up with him? What happened afterwards? What is his current situation?"

"I was following him the whole time. When I called you, I thought he would find me. But he looked even more panicked than I was and ran away very fast. So I followed him. Finally, I found him in an abandoned warehouse and knocked him out before he could react."

Although Xingchuan and Ming seemed to be speaking in detail, he was actually just trying to make up for the inconsistencies in his own behavior.

I added the address I gave to Date Kou on the phone to the so-called tracking route, and then said that the person who knocked the other person out was me. This would explain the contradiction that I clearly gave this address, but ended up taking a taxi from somewhere else.

"After I caught him, I wanted to call you and tell you that you didn't have to go to the previous address again. But my cell phone was broken! I wanted to use the prisoner's cell phone to call you, but what's even more annoying is that the prisoner's cell phone was also broken!"

These words were truly spoken from the heart, and Xingchuan and Ming are still gritting their teeth in anger over this matter.

Who knew that his electronic nemesis physique could be so bad?

If I had known this would happen, I would not have used the phone call method when designing the script.

Fortunately, the matter was resolved in the end, otherwise if he had died because the boat capsized in such an inconspicuous place, it would have been too unfair.

Date Kou was obviously also shocked by the extent of Hoshikawa and Ming's misfortune. He opened his mouth and asked after a long time:

"So whose phone did you use when you contacted me through the Police Department's internal relay line?"

Xingchuan and Ming's hearts skipped a beat, but their expressions remained unchanged as they answered as a matter of course:

"The criminal suddenly changed his route in a panic. He didn't even notice that he had dropped his phone, so I picked it up and used it. Otherwise, where do you think I could find someone to borrow a phone from while I was tracking him?"

Hoshikawa and Akira used excuses that are very likely to happen in real life. And even the criminal himself may not be sure whether the phone accidentally dropped actually happened.

So if what you said is true, then it is true.

As for the criminal's panic, this guy was actually being chased by Baifu like a cat chasing a mouse, so he was extremely panicked along the way. He himself might not even remember where he had passed by.

So if you still say you passed by here, then you really passed by here.

Ida Hang nodded, accepting his words. Then he frowned and continued to lecture him: "Then you shouldn't chase the criminal directly after discovering him. It's too dangerous!"

Xingchuan Heming's eyes lit up, and he immediately straightened his chest with a proud expression:

"I've already told you, Ida-sama, that I'm actually pretty amazing too!"

Seeing that Date Kou was about to get angry again, Xingchuan and Ming shrank their necks. Just as they were about to make a few excuses, they heard the police officer in charge of the scene suddenly say:

"The prisoner has woken up!"

Xingchuan and Ming felt nervous and secretly said "Oh no".

The reason why I was able to make up stories so confidently just now was that I took advantage of the fact that the prisoner was in a coma and could not refute my statements on the spot, so I was able to smoothly make up for all the unreasonable things before.

Anyway, when the criminal is finally convicted, no one will care about the fact that he is being tracked, and naturally no one will expose him.

But if the criminal wakes up at this time, then the lie I told to complete the plan will be exposed on the spot.

At the very least, the guy didn't faint by himself, but was hit by the hooded man whose identity he still didn't know. And the guy is still pretending to be an impulsive and hot-blooded young man, standing among the police!

If he was pointed out by this guy on the spot, then the whole drama that he and the hooded man had performed together would be exposed.

Once the cautious and suspicious Okiya Subaru discovered that there was something wrong with the whole thing, he would immediately doubt the previous experience. Not only would his plan be in vain, but it would also cause greater trouble.

So, what now? Will this newly awakened thief and murderer expose himself?
