Chapter 46
"You see, my eyes can actually glow?"
Xingchuan and Ming's tone was extremely strange, that mixed expression of surprise and disbelief was definitely something they couldn't fake.
The two suddenly realized that Xingchuan and Ming themselves didn't even know about this.
This is no wonder. Judging from Xingchuan and Ming's performance just now, they definitely have a strong resistance to the dark environment.
And if you stay in a well-lit place all the time, the tiny light emitted by your eyes can easily be masked by natural light and thus be ignored.
Therefore, no one had ever noticed the abnormality of his eyes.
At this time, Amuro Toru suddenly came up to Hoshikawa and Akira, and before Hoshikawa and Akira could get scared, he warned them:
"Don't move, let me help you first."
Then he stretched out his fingers, opened Xingchuan and Ming's eyelids, and examined them carefully as if he was identifying a real coin.
Hoshikawa and Akira were stunned by his extraordinary mobility and did not move at all, except for their eyes which moved restlessly under Toru Amuro's hand.
Perhaps sensing Hoshikawa and Akira's uneasiness, Toru Amuro quickly loosened his hand, his expression returning to his usual sunny and cheerful self, and he smiled and consoled them:
"Don't worry, everything is fine. I checked and there was no sign of your eyes glowing. Even if I blocked the light with my hands, I couldn't see anything abnormal. So the previous incident was probably just an illusion caused by the sudden extinguishing of the warehouse lights, which caused us to have visual retention."
"Really?"
Xingchuan Heming touched his eyes with his hands, still feeling doubtful.
With Toru Amuro's alertness and physical condition, would he really be easily misled by the illusion created by the visual retention just because the lights suddenly went out?
Moreover, Conan's testimony, which came in later, makes this statement even more inconsistent.
However, at this moment, both Amuro Toru and Edogawa Conan insisted in unison that what happened just now was just an accidental mistake on their part, making it difficult for Hoshikawa and Akiya to keep dwelling on the issue, so they had to give up.
But he kept this matter in his heart.
After leaving Hoshikawa Kazuaki's sight, Edogawa Conan immediately moved to Amuro Toru's side, pulled the corner of Amuro Toru's clothes to signal him to squat down, and then began to whisper to him mysteriously.
"Mr. Amuro, you saw it just now, right? There is definitely something wrong with Brother Hoshikawa!"
Amuro Toru did not respond, but asked back with a smile:
"Is that so? Is this also the knowledge that Conan-kun learned from the exercise book that Xingchuan gave you?"
Conan's face froze, and his eyes suddenly turned half-moon, and he complained:
"How can even Mr. Amuro make such a joke?"
However, after being interrupted by Amuro Toru, he no longer had the initial excitement after discovering the secret, but calmed down and said:
"Mr. Amuro, I suddenly realized today that Brother Hoshikawa has changed a lot since he met us. Not only has his personality and habits changed a lot, but even his painting style has suddenly changed. Do you think it is possible that Brother Hoshikawa now is not the same person as he was before he met us?"
Conan looked serious, and was obviously thinking about this problem seriously. But suddenly, a big hand pressed on his head and rubbed it, which made him stunned.
"Ahhh! Mr. Amuro, please let go!"
Amuro Toru took his hand back, lowered his head and looked at Conan's young face seriously, and said with a rare earnest tone:
"There may be many reasons for a person to change, and no matter which one it is, it will not be an easy thing for that person. In this case, we should not blindly doubt the other person just because we don't understand. No one knows whether it will hurt him again."
Conan's breathing stagnated, and his expression became serious. He was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said:
"I understand, Mr. Amuro. You are right. I was too nervous before, so I suspected the organization no matter what. This is too unfair to Brother Xingchuan. In this case, I must find absolute evidence to prove that Brother Xingchuan has always been himself, and not a fake who has been replaced by someone else."
Conan's expression became more and more determined, and his deep blue eyes seemed more mature than before. After he finished speaking, he ran away with high morale.
Toru Amuro stood up and smiled with relief, but he was still thinking about the scene just now in his heart.
He saw with his own eyes that Xingchuan and Ming's eyes suddenly glowed green in the dark, but he also found out about their ordinary background through his own investigation.
Why would an ordinary child who grew up in an orphanage show such an unusual condition?
There is also the obvious attention and protection that the hacker End has for him, plus the fact that a suspected member of the organization happened to be nearby when he was involved in the case.
All these strange things show that Xingchuan and Ming still have many secrets, and these secrets are likely related to the organization.
However, Xingchuan and Ming themselves obviously don't know this yet.
Amuro Toru sighed and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: Captain Ida, this friend you asked me to take care of is such a worrying guy!
In the following time, Xingchuan and Ming were always bothered by the scene in the warehouse.
One reason is that he never knew he was so afraid of the dark, as if he had PTSD.
Another reason is naturally what Toru Amuro and Conan said, that their eyes are glowing.
Although Toru Amuro has been vehemently denying his previous statements, Hoshikawa and Akira are certainly not stupid enough to really believe them. How could an elite undercover public security agent and intelligence expert, and an elementary school student detective and walking death god, both be so wrong at the same time?
So until the end of the day, Hoshikawa and Ming were in a bad mood, which made Nishihara Tadahiko, who came to pick him up on time, feel a little embarrassed. He thought that his behavior of escorting him home after get off work was really so annoying.
This made Xingchuan Heming feel a little guilty, so he promised to draw a comic portrait of Nishihara Tadahiko as a thank you gift when he returned.
As soon as he returned to the apartment, the first thing Xingchuan Heming did was to open the comic forum and quickly search for the comic that was about what happened in the warehouse this afternoon. As expected, he found it.
The comics were in color, and the frame was filled with a creepy darkness. However, the pair of eyes in the middle of the frame that flashed a deadly green light were even more creepy.
The moment Hoshikawa Kazuaki saw the comic, he got goosebumps from the strange colors and strong impact.
The green eyes were filled with confusion and insanity, and the corners of the eyes were narrow and long, a shape that Hoshikawa and Akira were familiar with. In the dim green light, he could barely see the outline of Toru Amuro, who was nervously trying to catch himself as he was about to fall.
The next moment, the warehouse door opened, and Conan's small figure stood at the doorway against the light. His green eyes gradually faded under the sunlight, and turned into clear blue again.
[What the hell! What did I see? It's a werewolf! ]
[Isn't this a new science comic? Why are there horror and supernatural special effects? I thought I accidentally clicked on some messed up spoof extra story, so I quickly exited and checked, but it turned out that I didn't enter the wrong page? ]
[Ahhh, little star's eyes are glowing! You really are a star, right? But... why do you look so scary?]
[This is so sudden. What happened to Xiao Xingxing's eyes? Is there any eye disease? There was no sign before! ]
[Haha, don't you understand? This is a trap, who's eyes would glow? This Xingchuan and Ming must be the experimental subjects! ]
[No! Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is so cute and outstanding, why is she an experimental subject? Wuwuwuwu]
[My poor little star...]
Xingchuan and Ming closed the forum depressedly.
It was frustrating enough to suddenly discover that he was weird, but the forum readers even speculated that this was evidence of being an experimental subject. Xingchuan and Ming were now upset whenever they thought of the word "experimental subject".
However, there seems to be no other possibility for such a strange pair of eyes except...
Xingchuan and Ming took out their barely usable laptop and searched the Internet. Sure enough, they could not find any disease that could cause the eyes to glow. He went to the bathroom and looked carefully in the mirror, but still could not find any signs of glow.
So, when Toru Amuro later lifted his eyelids to check, he indeed found nothing else. No wonder he flatly denied the abnormality he had seen before.
Until the reason is figured out, it is best to keep it as it is.
I just don't know whether it was the dark environment itself or the fear of the coming darkness that caused my eyes to suddenly glow.
Of course, Xingchuan and Ming did not intend to use themselves as subjects for this experiment. At the same time, it was only today that he realized why he had the habit of leaving a night light on when he went to bed. He had never thought that his fear of darkness would be so serious.
After calming down, Hoshikawa Kazuaki planned to fulfill his promise to Nishihara Tadahiko and draw a comic portrait for him. However, even if it is drawn in the form of a comic, when there is no specific person to serve as a model, it is inevitable that the final result will be distorted. However, Hoshikawa Kazuaki still has a way to cheat: comic books.
There are many shots of Nishihara Tadahiko in the real-time comics serialized in the forum, and they are all comic versions. You can just pick one and copy it.
So Xingchuan and Ming opened the forum again, but this time they deliberately avoided the reader who just spoke. He still couldn't accept what the experimental subject said.
I flipped the comic forward and found the shot of Nishihara Tadahiko opening the door before leaving the cafe. He happened to run into Amuro Toru who was carrying flour back.
However, when Xingchuan and Ming saw this, their attention was attracted by the dialogue box above the two people's heads.
Nishihara Tadahiko didn't have any special reaction to Amuro Toru's sudden appearance, but the moment Amuro Toru saw Nishihara Tadahiko, his mental activity was clearly written on his head:
"Is he the policeman who participated in the fake death plan? Why is he here?"
Xingchuan and Ming's eyes widened.
Officer Nishihara actually participated in a fake death plan? Whose death was faked? Why did they fake the death? And in what capacity did Officer Nishihara participate in it?
Why is Toru Amuro so concerned? Could it be related to the brewery?
Could it be that this policeman whom I have known for many years actually has some incredible secrets?
