Chapter 51

Without thinking, Conan immediately ran towards the Poirot Café. However, when he arrived, he found that not only were Hoshikawa and Akira not there, but even Amuro Toru had left.

Azusa Enomoto explained with a smile:

"What a coincidence. Mr. Amuro went to the supermarket to buy seasonings and hasn't come back yet. As for Hoshikawa, his editor just came to see him, and now they should go to Detective Mori to deal with issues related to the contract."

Conan turned around and ran upstairs to the office. However, when he opened the door, he saw Maori Kogoro holding his stomach with a tired look on his face, lying on the desk, grinning at the contract in front of him, and muttering:

"What a great deal! I didn't expect them to be so generous! If I had known they would come today, I shouldn't have drunk so much last night..."

"Uncle Maori, where is Brother Hoshikawa?" Conan asked anxiously.

"Oh, you are talking about my good apprentice Hoshikawa. He went to see his agent off and will probably go back to the cafe downstairs after that." When Kogoro Maori mentioned that Hoshikawa and Ming were his new apprentices, he became extremely proud.

"Where did he go to see someone off? Was it the train station?"

Maori Kogoro immediately showed a look of disdain on his face: "How is that possible? Of course it's an underground parking lot."

In an underground parking lot near the cafe, Xingchuan and Ming had just sent the editor away. As soon as they turned around, they were pushed against the wall by a huge force.

His back hit the wall hard, and he felt a surge of blood and energy, and his whole body felt like it was falling apart.

He leaned against the wall to quickly regain his balance, then immediately took a defensive stance and looked at the attacker vigilantly. However, after seeing the opponent's cold and sharp familiar figure, he could not help but shout angrily:

"Are you crazy? Why did you suddenly attack me?"

The man was dressed in black again, with a large hood covering his face. His entire appearance was completely blocked. In this dimly lit underground garage, it was impossible to see his face clearly.

However, the cool temperament and familiar figure still allowed Xingchuan and Ming to easily recognize each other's identity.

The person who attacked Xingchuan and Ming when they were alone in the underground parking lot turned out to be the Hooded Vest!

Being ambushed by another self, Xingchuan and Ming were angry, but they also felt a little amused. This was too unfair, and they couldn't retaliate. If the left hand hit the right hand, should the right hand hit back?

However, this was not the end. The hooded vest took another step forward and grabbed Xingchuan and Ming by the collar. Xingchuan and Ming immediately raised their hands to fight back, but he grabbed their wrists in an instant.

With their backs against the cold wall, Xingchuan and Ming even felt a slight sting on their skin due to the icy murderous aura that permeated their bodies.

Just when Xingchuan and Ming thought that the hooded vest would really attack them again, the other party spoke directly:

"Didn't I tell you that you must never, ever tell anyone about my existence or what I look like? Why didn't you listen?"

His voice was filled with a murderous aura that Xingchuan and Ming had never seen before, but his voice was dull because he was suppressing his anger.

I'm really angry.

Xingchuan and Ming immediately understood that the other party was angry because they accidentally exposed the sketch of his image to everyone, even the police, this morning. It seemed that their behavior had even brought trouble to the other party.

Xingchuan and Ming felt guilty for a moment, and the anger caused by the previous surprise attack was instantly shattered. It seems that the hooded vest was a bit pitted by itself this time.

"Uh, sorry. Are you being targeted by the police? Is it true that there won't be any problems if you show up like this?"

The hooded man wanted to say something else, but suddenly his breath condensed, he let go of the hands that were holding Xingchuan and Ming, and quickly dodged behind him.

Before Xingchuan and Ming could see clearly what happened, they only felt a flash of white light in front of their eyes, and a football suddenly flew past the place where the hooded vest was before. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been knocked unconscious by now.

Xingchuan Heming was startled and immediately looked in the direction where the football came from. Sure enough, he saw a short figure at the end of the underground parking lot.

Conan had just retracted his kick and thought he could hit the ball, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so alert and actually dodged in time.

However, even if he dodged it, the power of the ball was not without effect. The hood of the hooded vest was lifted, revealing his dark red hair and masked face.

In addition, there is a pair of eyes that glow orange-red.

Xingchuan, Ming and Conan were both shocked at the same time.

Xingchuan and Ming didn't expect that the other person's eyes could shine like their own. No wonder they had to use a hood to cover their eyes even though they were wearing masks.

But why did this strange phenomenon happen to them at the same time? Was it because they were all using different pseudonyms? Or was it related to the so-called experimental subject's identity?

But Conan's mind suddenly thought of what Haibara said, "Momofumi's eyes will glow", and his thoughts were confused for a moment.

The person who uttered the Baifu Kotozen was Officer Nishihara, but the one with shining eyes was Hoshikawa and Minghe, the hooded man.

So who among them is the real Baifu?

Hooded Vest didn't expect that his hood would be knocked off by a soccer ball by an inconspicuous kid. He was surprised and then became more and more angry. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xingchuan and Ming immediately stepped forward and hugged Hooded Vest to prevent him from moving, and shouted to Conan:

"Run, you silly boy!"

Conan also realized the danger at this time, but he did not turn around and run as Hoshikawa and Ming said. Instead, he immediately raised his wrist and took advantage of the moment when the hooded vest was suddenly hugged by Hoshikawa and Ming and could not be freed, and quickly shot out the anesthetic needle.

The hooded man naturally saw Conan's movements. He could have dodged in advance, but because Xingchuan and Ming were holding him, he could not move easily. So he simply ducked and rolled on the ground with Xingchuan and Ming. When he raised his head again, Conan was gone.

Conan shot the anesthetic needle without even looking at it, and turned around and ran in the direction he came from. He didn't expect to succeed in the first place, and the action just now was just to attract the attention of the enemy so that he could get away quickly.

He was running and talking to the air:

"Mr. Akai, you must hurry up this time!"

The necklace phone hanging from his collar flickered faintly.

Hoshikawa and Akira were rolled around by the Hooded Vest like a protector. When he got up from the ground, the Hooded Vest had put on its hood again and was chasing in the direction Conan left.

Xingchuan and Ming's heart suddenly tensed up. What was he chasing after? He was so murderous. He was the biological son of the will of the world. He couldn't kill anyone. He, as a mixed wine factory owner, must not let this go!

Xingchuan and Ming were worried and followed him. However, he had just been attacked and ran a little slowly. When he finally caught up with the wounded, he saw that the hooded vest had already started fighting with Okiya Subaru.

Hoshikawa and Akira were shocked again. What was going on? Why did Subaru Okiya come here too?

Just as Xingchuan and Ming were about to step forward, their hands were suddenly grabbed by someone. Although the force was not strong, it still managed to stop them.

"Brother Xingchuan, don't go over there!"

Conan popped his head out from behind a car. At this moment, he was holding Xingchuan and Ming's hands and pulling them behind the shelter.

Hoshikawa and Ming also knew that if they went there they would only cause more trouble, so they followed Conan's lead and squatted behind the car, frowning as they watched the battle in front of them.

Perhaps because they were in a busy area, neither of them used firearms. However, the mere fistfight was enough to make Xingchuan and Ming worried.

After the last battle, he knew that Hooded Vest was definitely no match for Subaru Okiya, and if he continued to fight, he would probably suffer a great loss.

"Brother Xingchuan, what happened in the parking lot just now? Why did that person attack you? Could he really be the person you drew in the sketch before?"

Conan suddenly came over and asked in a low voice.

Xingchuan and Ming had no choice but to nod and say, "This is something that can be seen at a glance.

"It was probably him, but I don't know why he attacked me."

"Then you also noticed that person's abnormality just now, right?" Conan continued to ask.

Xingchuan Heming glanced at him and said, understandingly:

"You mean his eyes? I saw them when his hood fell down just now."

He glanced at Conan's tangled expression, wanting to ask but not daring to, and simply said:

"Are you asking if there is any connection with my eyes? I'm sorry, I can only say that I have no idea. This is the first time I know about this. And I've only met him twice, so I don't know him at all."

Conan nodded and stopped talking, but began to ponder again.

However, Hoshikawa and Akira were more worried. Look, now even Conan has begun to doubt the identity of the Hooded Vest. Once it is on the attention list of this elementary school student of the god of death, won't the Hooded Vest be scrapped before it is even activated?

No, we must find an external force to break this situation. Any external force will do.

Xingchuan and Ming quickly went through the helpers they could borrow in their minds, and suddenly remembered that it was almost time for them to get off work, and someone said that he would definitely come to pick them up.

His eyes lit up and he immediately started calling Tadahiko Nishihara.

However, just as the call was made, a phone rang in the dark large parking garage. The sound came from far away and was approaching, obviously someone was rushing towards this direction at a very fast speed.

The two people who were fighting were startled at the same time and immediately became alert, even restraining their movements.

Xingchuan and Ming had not expected this to happen, and their hands holding the phones couldn't help but clench.

Conan immediately asked:

"Who is Xingchuan brother calling?"

Before Xingchuan and Ming could answer, the tall figure of Nishihara Tadahiko suddenly appeared in front of them. He didn't know whether he had been running for too long or was too emotional, but his face turned red, he was breathing heavily, and even his eyes were full of bloodshot.

Seeing the two people fighting in front of him, Nishihara Tadahiko's expression suddenly became extremely excited, and he couldn't help but ask loudly:

"Toshiya? Is that you, Toshiya?"

At the same time, he seemed to have gone crazy and rushed towards the two people who were fighting without any care.

Hoshikawa and Akira were shocked. So the name of the man in the hood is Junye? But how did Nishihara Tadahiko know that? What is the relationship between the two of them?

He suddenly thought that Nishihara Tadahiko had been in a bad mood since he saw the sketch in the morning, and now he was even worse than ever.

Too excited.

Xingchuan and Ming are among the few people who have seen the true appearance of the hooded vest. When they think about it now, they suddenly feel that the two people look a little similar!

Moreover, both of them have reddish hair color, which is actually a very rare hair color in Japan.

If I remember correctly, Tadahiko Nishihara has been looking for his long-missing brother for all these years, right?

He also said before that he had been investigating the case and had found clues nearby in recent days.

Now, putting all these things together, why is it so suspicious? Could it be that his brother who was kidnapped when he was a child is the Hooded Vest himself?

But that shouldn't be the case. If he had disappeared as a child, why did Nishihara Tadahiko recognize him at first sight when he saw the sketch of a hooded vest portrait of an adult?

You know, even if they are brothers, no matter how familiar they are with each other's body shapes and appearances when they were children, it is impossible for them to recognize each other by just their outline after they grow up!

Did they meet again later?

Hoshikawa and Ming looked towards the people who were fighting. He remembered that Nishihara Tadahiko had once called the image in the sketch a "villain", and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

At this moment, a third person suddenly rushed into the battle circle, and Okiya Subaru's attack was instantly interrupted. The hooded vest was like facing a formidable enemy. He fought hard despite being injured, and then took advantage of the gap when Okiya Subaru recovered his strength to suddenly withdraw and run towards another exit.

Just as Okiya Subaru was about to chase him, Nishihara Tadahiko was one step faster than him, flashed past Okiya Subaru, and chased him towards the exit. Okiya Subaru's movements were blocked again, his feet stuttered, and he had to stop and turn around to walk towards where Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Conan were hiding.

"It's all right now. Are you all okay? Are you affected?"

Okiya Subaru asked with concern.

"We're fine."

Hoshikawa and Akira walked out from behind the bunker with Conan. Looking at Okiya Subaru's smiling face, they paused for a moment and said:

"Thank you so much for this, Okiya-san." He tilted his head uncomfortably. "And you, Conan. Thank you for coming to save me."

After saying this, he sighed in his heart, what kind of thing is this? He was actually saved by Conan and Okiya Subaru. But the problem is that even if they didn't come, I would still be safe.

But no matter what, I really feel grateful this time. Especially Conan, his small body was almost broken by the hood vest just now!

At this time, Conan suddenly acted like a child, threw himself on Okiya Subaru and shouted, "I want Okiya brother to take me home." Okiya Subaru immediately received the signal conveyed by Conan, agreed, and said goodbye to Hoshikawa and Ming.

Xingchuan and Ming understood immediately that the two must be exchanging information again. They didn't know what Conan had discovered from what happened just now.

However, when he returned to the Poirot Café, he suddenly thought of a question. Since Nishihara Tadahiko had gone to chase the hooded vest, should he continue to wait for him to pick him up after get off work?
