Where is Sugawa Gen?
Conan and Kogoro Mouri looked at each other in bewilderment. They were so engrossed in their thoughts while walking that they didn't notice anything happening around them. Where did such a big man like Sugawa Gen go?
It is impossible for Sugawa Gen to leave without saying goodbye. Conan's face looked heavy, and it was very likely that something had happened to him.
But to add fuel to the fire, Xiaolan ran over in a panic, "Oh no, Miss Seto is missing!"
"I went to the bathroom and when I came back I couldn't find her."
This is bad. Seto Aion has suffered too much today, and it is too unsafe to leave her alone now.
Thinking of this, Xiaolan couldn't help feeling anxious. She was too kind, even a little too moral. She thought it was her own fault that things turned out like this, and the heavy guilt made her eyes red.
Fei Erian hugged Xiaolan and calmly issued instructions, "Let's spread out and look for people. You two go find the other child, and Xiaolan and I will go find Miss Seto."
At this time, two tall and handsome young men came over. The curly-haired young man looked at the familiar Conan in front of him and subconsciously looked around. However, he did not find the other curly-haired young man. Combined with the words he heard about looking for someone, Matsuda Jinpei's heart tightened. He quickly walked between them and asked:
"What happened?"
Conan was the most familiar with the person present. He walked over with a serious face and explained to him: "Brother Sugawa is missing, and Miss Seto is also missing."
Matsuda Jinpei looked at him thoughtfully, then turned to Hagiwara Kenji and said, "Then you and this lady go find Miss Seto, and Conan and I will go find Sugawa."
However, Sugawa Gen was not missing as they thought. After walking out of the private room, he inadvertently caught a glimpse through the window of a back figure that looked very similar to Seto Aion in the distance on the seashore. Although it was night, thanks to the white dress that Seto Aion was wearing, her figure was very obvious under the moonlight.
He couldn't help but frown. After seeing her actions clearly, Gen Qawa jumped out of the window from the second floor without even saying hello to Conan.
Seto Aion was walking towards the depths of the ocean.
Sugawa Gen's speed was not slow, but the distance was too long. By the time he reached the beach, most of Seto Aion's body had been submerged in the sea. He sighed, grabbed his coat and walked into the sea.
His movements were very gentle, and Seto Aion was too distracted, so Sugawa Gen succeeded in pulling her back without startling her.
Seto Aion shuddered, she looked back and saw that it was the child from the family she was traveling with. There was some disappointment in her eyes, she forced a smile and struggled to break free from his shackles, "I'm taking a walk here, don't be nervous."
"Well, Sugawa Gen handed her the coat without saying anything, and even said something that surprised Seto Aion, "The scenery outside is nice, I came here for a walk, but it's a bit cold, you probably need a coat."
The wind started to blow, and the damp and cold wind from the seaside hit the two of them mercilessly, causing them to have goosebumps even in this hot summer season.
Seto Aion was stunned. Perhaps because Sugawa Gen spoke too matter-of-factly and too calmly, he had no words of comfort. But the uneasiness in her heart was unconsciously wiped away. She took the coat blankly and said, "Thank you."
Qichuan Yuan looked up and his pupils shrank. Under the bright moonlight, a white line that stretched out wantonly was getting closer and closer and more and more obvious. It was a wave so big that it seemed to cover half the sky.
"Oops!"
He turned around, grabbed Seto Aion, and pulled her forcefully toward the shore.
People only regret their foolish choices when death is about to come. Seto Aion realized that something was wrong. Her impulse disappeared and her heart was filled with fear. She didn't dare to move and could only obediently follow Sugawa Gen and run back.
But how insignificant human beings are in front of nature!
The speed of the waves was getting faster and faster, and the restless sea water was like a thick barrier, preventing the two from going upstream. Fortunately, they reached the shore at the same time as the waves, and they still had a chance to escape. Unfortunately, Seto Aion lost her balance due to her weak legs and feet and fell into the sea.
Oh no! Qichuan Yuan staggered as he was dragged. He cursed inwardly, and only had time to pull the man up and push him hard against the reef in front of him, "Hold on to the rock!"
Seto Aion hugged him, but even so she was still shaken by the strong impact of the waves and was almost blown away by the waves.
When the waves passed, she raised her head in fear, and her heart dropped - there was no one in front of her.
The sound of the sea breeze and the waves made the night particularly quiet. The strong wind made the coconuts on the coconut trees flutter wildly, which made people feel upset. Mr. Seto was indeed upset. He looked at the mother and son in front of him with gritted teeth.
"Why are you here?"
Mrs. Watanabe cracked her fingernails and sneered nonchalantly, "Why can't we be here? Is this your business?"
"Didn't I tell you not to show up in front of them?" At this point, Mr. Seto suddenly felt angry. He raised his hand and walked forward quickly. Seeing this, Mrs. Watanabe's face flashed with fear. She subconsciously shrank back. She hid behind Watanabe Yamato and said sarcastically:
"You hypocrite, are you going to hit someone again?"
Mr. Seto glared at Yamato Watanabe who was standing in front of Mrs. Watanabe, "And you!"
"What about me? In the afternoon, he was shocked by the fact that Aoiin was actually her brother and sister. He broke up with Aoiin with great pain. Now he has become numb.
Watanabe Yamato had a calm face. He looked at his father who was no longer gentle and courteous. He was confused and bewildered. "Are you talking about what happened between me and Aoi? But father, what qualifications do you have to blame me? How can you, a person who is unfaithful to love, comment on us?"
"You!" Mr. Seto's face was bruised and his fingers were shaking, but he couldn't refute anything. He threw his hands in hatred and said coldly: "Go back quickly and don't show up again."
This is the father he admired. Watanabe Yamato smiled bitterly. He looked into the distance in a trance. Under the moonlight, a dazzling white was swaying left and right. He suddenly stopped and quickly ran to the beach. He took off his coat and covered Seto Aion, whose face was frozen white. Before he could say anything, Seto Aion cried and hugged him, her voice trembling, "Yamato, save him, he was washed away by the water..."
"Who?" Conan and his friends had just found this place when they heard Seto Aion's words. Matsuda Jinpei's heart almost stopped for a beat. He rushed to Seto Aion and tried to stay calm.
"Is that the kid with the curly hair?"
Seto Aion nodded. She looked at the old and the young rushing to the beach in a hurry and burst into tears. "I'm sorry, I hurt him! I'm sorry..."
Just as Sugawa Gen said, his luck was indeed good, the waves were very big. But he was swept into a small cave on the edge of the cliff by a wave. Although the cave was full of water, he was able to save his life.
He was lying in a deep puddle, his face almost submerged in water. The not-so-warm sea water made him shiver all over. Because he had hit the reef, he was now in pain, sore, and weak. His clean white clothes were stained with blood. He looked at the cramped cave, as if a big hand was tightly grasping his heart. The fear that filled his heart made him feel suffocated little by little.
He took a deep breath and climbed out of the puddle with great difficulty. It took him a long time to move to a shallow puddle.
It's so tiring to save a person. He moved his fingers and casually shifted his attention. He sighed and lay down on the wet ground in despair, looking at the faint moonlight at the entrance of the cave with a distracted look.
So why does Conan keep running around in cases, why does Matsuda insist on being in the Explosion Division despite the danger? And why is Gin in the Black Organization?
Qichuan Yuan was lost in thought, his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred. However, the strong feeling of disgust and rejection became more and more obvious. He couldn't help but sigh, his blue eyes gradually lost focus, and an unprecedented fatigue surged into his brain.
The problem that he had been suppressing deep in his heart also crawled into his brain with its fangs and claws to show its presence - why am I the villain again?
Before he was swallowed by darkness, Gen Sugawa heard Matsuda Jinpei's anxious cry and opened his mouth. But he didn't know if he made any sound. After a long time, his hand felt hot and he opened his eyes in a daze and saw Matsuda Jinpei's mouth opening and closing.
What are you saying? Gen Sugawa carefully identified his lip movements, and in his fuzzy state he understood what Jinpei Matsuda was saying - "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
Matsuda Jinpei frowned, touched Sugawa Gen's swollen forehead, and anxiously helped him up, "You are too weak."
"Oh, it's okay," Qichuan Gen came to his senses and laughed hoarsely.
"Shut up," Matsuda Jinpei pursed his lips and helped him to the beach with great difficulty. Conan, who had been waiting on the side, rushed over immediately, looked at his bloody body and pale face in shock, and tried to help Matsuda Jinpei carry him to a nearby hotel as gently as possible.
Everyone who went to look for Seto Aion returned to the hotel and stood anxiously at the door waiting for the remaining three people to come back. Seeing the three people in a stalemate from afar, Hagiwara Kenji, who was originally comforting everyone present, suddenly changed his expression and ran over quickly.
"Are you okay?"
He took Qichuan Yuan, his eyes brushed across his face, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked into his eyes. When his gaze met his eyes, his whole body froze in the distance. The young man who was engulfed by the flames many years ago seemed to appear in front of him again, and his powerless eyes like the half-closed starry sky gradually overlapped with the eyes in front of him.
Hagiwara Kenji clumsily helped the man into the house, his mind going blank. How could it be possible? Are there really two people in the world who look so alike?
Hibiki Eri sat beside them with narrowed eyes, her gaze scanning the faces of Sugawa Gen and Hagiwara Kenji. A figure surrounded by fire flashed before her eyes, and she murmured, "It's that child from seven years ago. I didn't expect..."
Survived.
Sugawa Gen raised his head with a feeling, but the next second the indifferent voice of the world consciousness sounded - "The trigger conditions have been met, please accept the memory."
[Alert! Alert! Key person meeting! Alert! Alert...]
What? There was a sweet and fishy taste in Qichuan Yuan's throat, and a familiar dizziness overwhelmed his brain. He opened his mouth, and a stream of blood spurted out, and he lost consciousness.
