Chapter 146 Two Vigilantes

The moment he was pulled back, Kouya realized that he had overlooked something. Now that he had been pulled in, he had no choice but to go with the flow.

So he alertly and quickly leaned back along with the force, at the same time stretched out his hand to hold the opponent's arm, exerted force with his waist, and saw that he was about to throw the man out in the next second.

"Stop, stop, stop! Ouch..." The person behind him spoke very quickly to stop Furuya Rei. The voice sounded bitter, and for some reason, Furuya Rei felt that this voice was very familiar. "Don't be nervous, brother. I don't mean any harm. I'm just helping you hide for a while!"

After he finished speaking, the other party immediately let go of his hand and jumped back, as if afraid that he would attack again in the next second. Furiya Rei took this opportunity to turn around and saw the man's face clearly in the bright light in the room.

Kudo Shinichi? Furuya Rei was stunned, then overturned his guess.

No, judging by the tone and messy hair... this should be Kuroba Kaito.

He was quite familiar with Kudo Shinichi and they had always had a good relationship, but as for Kuroba Kaito - or the Phantom Thief Kid, he was not very familiar with Furuya Rei. He only met him occasionally in Akae's house, and it was an accident that he knew the identity of that boy.

Fortunately, he was not the one responsible for capturing Kidd. After thinking about the reality, Furuya Rei no longer paid special attention to Kuroba Kaito.

After all, he could pretend not to know the true identity of the thief Kid, but out of sight, out of mind.

"Sorry, thank you for your help, I'm just... a little nervous." After seeing Kuroba Kaito's face, Furuya Rei's vigilance was almost relaxed. His cold expression on the surface melted into water. He pretended to be relieved and said embarrassedly, "I thought he was in the same group as those people outside. I'm really sorry."

Hei Yu Kaidou shrugged, his smile showing no trace of the gloom after being misunderstood for saving someone. He touched his hair and smiled, "It's okay. You didn't mean it anyway. I understand."

The other party did not recognize him.

Fūya Rei remained expressionless as he analyzed in his mind.

Is it the difference between parallel worlds? Or does it mean that the timeline of this world is later than their world?

"My name is Toru Amuro, and I'm currently a private detective." Furuya Rei extended his hand and took the initiative to introduce himself. "I just moved to Tokyo not long ago, so there may be many things I don't know."

Kaito did reach out and shake his hand, but his expression was a little subtle: "Hey, moving to Tokyo?" He looked at Furuya Rei with hesitation.

"So, the people outside are chasing after Mr. Amuro, could it be because...?"

"I accidentally entered their trading site while investigating a request." Furuya Rei also sighed and smiled bitterly in response to this question, "The result has become like this."

Kuaidou muttered, "It turns out to be quite normal."

Furiya Rei's smile froze, thinking he had heard wrongly: "What?"

"Nothing, nothing." Kaito said cheerfully, "I was worried that Mr. Amuro was one of them and was being hunted down because he had done something wrong."

Fūya Fu'e: "Do I look dangerous?"

Kaito smiled again, and it was hard to tell whether he was joking or nodding seriously. "I'm Kuroba Kaito, and this is my family's bar. If you're not worried, Mr. Amuro, you can stay here until dawn."

Fūya Rei was quick to notice the strangeness in these words.

"Is it dangerous in Tokyo at night?" He frowned and asked instinctively.

"It's fine if you don't go out." Kaidou held up his chin, "But if you go out, it's easy to get involved in a fierce fight like you, Mr. Amuro, and no one will care if you get killed."

Fūya Rei's heart sank.

Has Tokyo in the parallel world reached this point? Not only is it so dangerous at night that ordinary people can't go out, but even if they get caught in a gunfight at night and die, no one cares? This is ridiculous!

"What about the Metropolitan Police Department? I thought this was their job." Furiya Rei mentioned it casually in pretended surprise.

Kuaidou groaned.

"It's been a while since I heard someone ask the Metropolitan Police Department as their first reaction at a time like this." He laughed dryly, "As expected, Mr. Amuro, you really have only moved in two days ago. Forget it, it's not that I can't talk to Mr. Amuro. It's better to say that anyone who has lived in Tokyo for a while knows this."

The black-haired, blue-eyed boy shook his head with a complicated look in his eyes. It was unclear whether he was sighing or dissatisfied: "There are not many real police officers left in the Metropolitan Police Department now."

"This may sound strange for a Tokyo native like me, but..." Kaito looked into Rei's eyes and said sincerely, "If you can, you should move out as soon as possible, Mr. Amuro. Tokyo is not as prosperous and livable as people outside think."

It was as if a heavy hammer hit Rei Furuya's brain, and his mind went blank with a buzzing sound. What did these words mean? What did they mean that there were only a few real police officers left, and what did they mean that they should move away as soon as possible? Was the city the other party was talking about really Tokyo?

No, something must have gone wrong. Could the difference between the parallel worlds really be so huge? To such an absurd degree...

That’s right!

Furuya Rei blurted out, "What about Inspector Akae?"

Kuaidou was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face. He seemed to be recalling it seriously.

"What Chijiang?" The boy finally asked with a frown, "Does the Metropolitan Police Department... have such a police inspector?"

The name that would be the first thing that Furiya Rei, a person who had just arrived in Tokyo, asked about could definitely not be an insignificant person. However, after thinking for a long time, Kuaidou indeed could not find this name in his memory.

"No, nothing. Maybe I remembered it wrong." The blond young man was silent for a moment and changed the subject. "Um, can I borrow your computer? I can look up other information on the Internet by myself. There is no need to bother Kaito-kun to waste his time on me."

"It's not a waste. It's just a piece of cake." Kaito smiled and pointed to Fūya in a direction. "The door is over there. The computer in the lounge is open. Mr. Amuro can just use it."

The young man thanked him again and walked towards the room that Kuaidou pointed to.

It was not until his back disappeared behind the closed door that the smiling poker face on Kaito's face disappeared. The boy rubbed his cheeks and leaned against the bar with a slightly relaxed look. The whole feeling was completely different from when he had just talked with Furuya Rei.

"Master Kuai Dou, can you trust what this man says?"

The hidden door behind the bar opened, and Terai Huang Zhisuke walked out and asked with concern.

"Half and half." Kuaidou answered lazily, "It's true that he just came to Tokyo, but he is definitely not an ordinary person."

"The way he attacked me at the beginning was very professional, and the rope in his hand was obviously sharpened deliberately. Because of this, I can't tell whether he can use a gun, but there is no way to argue that he is suspicious." He stretched out his hand and gestured in the air. "There is nothing else worth mentioning... Oh, by the way, please check the 'Akajiang Police Officer' later, Master Terai."

Phantom Thief Kid is an expert at disguising emotions, so it is not difficult to see that Furuya Rei's emotions were basically concealed and disguised. Even he could not even see the other party's emotions under the disguise.

The only time when he mentioned Inspector Akae, whom Kaito had never heard of, was when Furuya Rei's emotions actually fluctuated.

Especially when Kaito tactfully told the other party that there probably wasn't such a person in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Kaito himself had no desire to delve into the past of a stranger he had just met. He checked on Rei Furuya only because he thought it was strange that this person appeared here by such a coincidence, and for the sake of caution and self-protection, he wanted to confirm the other party's safety.

This is Tokyo.

Quickly think: Who knows if the mixed-race detective you accidentally saved on the street will be the next lunatic to stir up trouble? Those lunatics don't act logically.

This is also the reason why he asked Terai Yosuke to hide before going out to rescue Furuya Rei.

If it were only him, no matter who came, it would be no problem for them to escape, but this was Master Terai's shop, and it would be bad if something happened, and they still needed this good base for their business.

In another room some distance away from the bar, Rei Furuya did not turn on the lights. He sat in front of the computer and let the faint blue light shine on his face. He pursed his lips and typed his friend's name into the search engine, even changing a few keywords.

No, no, no…

In the end, he had to admit that there really was no such person as Akajiang Nayue in the Metropolitan Police Department of this parallel world.

He understood Aka. The little devil had a strong personality and liked to be at the top of the pyramid in everything. This was the case when he was a mafia member, a policeman, and even more so when he was a detective.

If Akajiang Nayue really joined the Metropolitan Police Department, it is absolutely impossible that she has never left her name on the Internet, and there is not even any related report!

Another point that Rei Furuya didn't think about carefully was that if Aka in this world really joined the Metropolitan Police Department, it would be impossible for him to turn Tokyo into what Kaito described.

Judging from Kaito's age, the timeline of this world is probably similar to his world, just a little bit earlier, so Akane Nayue should be around 27 or 28 years old...

Thinking of this, Furuya Rei narrowed his search area even further.

He knew very well that if there was anyone in this world who could help him return to his own world, that person could only be Chijiang Nayue... no matter which world's Chijiang Nayue was from.

The information on the screen flashed by one by one, and Fūya Rei's finger suddenly paused, and the cursor stopped on the title of a newly released online report.

《The young chairman of the Akae Foundation has returned to his country! He landed in Tokyo half an hour ago...》

Furiya Rei's heart skipped a beat.

Akagi... Foundation? Young Chairman?

Could it be that this is the person he is thinking of? !
