Masked Rider: Infinite Journey

"Eh?"

Under Shotarou's incredulous gaze, Lan Guanghong suddenly jumped up and casually pulled off the bandages wrapped around his body, revealing his healthy wheat-colored skin underneath.

Shotaro:? ? ?

How did you heal so quickly? You obviously didn't use that cart!

It was not until Lan Guanghong put on her clothes, pulled him through the door and left that the stunned Shotarou came to his senses.

"you……"

"Don't ask. We don't need to make things so clear about Kamen Rider's affairs."

Arriving outside the hospital, Lan Guanghong raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Fight locusts!"

Ten seconds later, the cool-looking steel locust screeched to a stop in front of the two men.

Shotaro:......

Forget it, there’s no need to make things so clear about Kamen Rider.

The locomotive sped along... well, at least that's what it looked like.

In order to take care of the "fragile" Shotarou, Blue Light Red didn't dare to go at full speed and only drove at the snail's pace of an ordinary motorcycle.

Behind him, Shotarou had just finished talking to his director.

"The case has been temporarily taken over by Philip and Terui Ryu. Moriguchi is safe, but the origin of the impurity remains unknown."

"Let's put the impurities aside. Why do I seem to hear someone arguing over the phone?"

Shotarou's face froze, his eyes drifting to the side as he said, "Well, the producer probably had an argument with the company's top management. After all, they had received a murder notice and still insisted on having Moriguchi star in the role."

"Oh, is that so~"

"Yes, it is like that!"

……

Max Software Building.

In the corridor outside the reception room, Philip and Shi Ya glared at each other, neither of them willing to take a step back.

"Have you forgotten that Shotaro was badly injured just to protect you? I don't need an unqualified assistant like you."

"Really? Do you think you're okay?"

"what?!"

"If you're as perfect as you say, then why didn't you see through that dopant's abilities? Aren't you responsible for Shotarou getting hurt?"

The two of them glared at each other angrily for a while, then turned their heads away at the same time: "Humph!"

"Philip, Tokiya-chan." Akiko stood beside the two of them and tried to stop them from arguing: "Stop talking. You're all Shotarou's friends. He's in Tian...uh, anyway, he definitely doesn't want to see you quarreling like this."

"Hey, Asuko! I'm still alive and well!"

The elevator door opened, and Shotaro, who had recovered fully, stepped into the corridor with a dark look on his face.

Hearing this voice, the three people in the office turned their heads towards him at the same time.

"Eh?! Shotaro?" Asuko touched him with a shocked look on her face.

"Wow, it's a real person! Why? Didn't the hospital say it would take about two weeks to recuperate?"

"We'll talk about this later." Shotaro adjusted his hat. "Let's go, Philip, Tokiya. It's time to resolve this incident."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a cool manner.

Philip, Shiya: ...

The two of them looked at each other and followed Shotarou's footsteps in silence.

Seeing this, Yashuzi breathed a sigh of relief and jogged after him.

...Where's the blue light red who came with Shotarou?

He is on the roof.

Under the night sky, a cool breeze brushed past Falia, outlining the majestic mountains.

Lan Guanghong unabashedly turned his head to admire the beautiful scenery, and said absentmindedly, "That's too much, Falia. I was so badly injured and you didn't come to take care of me.

Falia glanced at him. "Do you want me to dress up as a nurse?"

Lan Guanghong was so shocked that he didn't even bother to look at the scenery: "Wow? You know all this!"

Falia crossed her arms, her lips curled up slightly: "Of course I know, I know everything about you~."

"I don't believe it. Guess what I'm thinking right now!"

Falia said nothing, but just pointed her finger at a certain part of herself.

Blu-ray Red: ...

Damn, she's telling the truth!

Chapter 209: Caught in Pair/The Taste of the Sea

At daybreak, Shotaro and his team finally made a breakthrough in their investigation and locked in on a guy named "Muder".

He is a gamer like "M", who is actually a pediatrician, but he has an extremely bad personality. He likes to crush the weak, and when he meets a strong person, he will do anything to win.

At last year's anniversary celebration of Megumi Kazematsu, he, as a powerful player, got the chance to challenge Megumi Kazematsu (Moriguchi), but tragically, after a few seconds he found that he could not beat the opponent, so he used cheating methods without hesitation.

But how could this be hidden from Moriguchi, the main developer of the game?

Moriguchi, who originally wanted to play a friendly game with the other party, became angry on the spot. He relied on his superb gaming skills to defeat the shameless cheater. Then he was taken away by the guards in a panic amid the cheers of the audience.

He originally wanted to defeat his idol to become famous, but he was defeated in front of the public and his true identity was revealed. As a result, his self-esteem was damaged and he obtained the matching monster memory and became a doped body.

The above results are just Shotaro's speculation, but he thinks this is the truth.

"What a nasty bastard." Shotaro stood up: "Well, next..."

"Let the police handle this now. We'll quickly uncover the true identity of that 'Muder' and bring him to justice!" Terui Ryu forcefully pushed him back into his seat. "You are responsible for protecting the client."

Shotaro: "...that's fine."

There is no doubt that if the police take action, they will be able to find out the identity and address of the criminal as quickly as possible. As long as they can catch this guy, it doesn't matter to Shotaro who does it.

After all, his goal is to protect the beauty of Fengdu, not to compete with others to see who is faster.

But, but~

"It's better to tell him this news, so that he won't be anxious and wander around because he can't find any clues."

Shotaro raised the corner of his mouth, took out the beetle phone and called Lan Guanghong.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Hey?"

The blue-red sound came from the other side, mixed with some sounds that sounded like hitting a sandbag.

Shotaro:?

Never mind. Don't worry about trivial matters.

"Hey, Guanghong, how's your investigation going?"

"It's okay, what's the matter, do you have any new clues?"

"Yes, the culprit is most likely a player named 'Muder'."

"Wow~ Killer? This criminal is so arrogant."

The sound of hitting the sandbag became a little louder, and even a faint humming sound was heard. This time Shotarou heard it clearly.

He became even more confused, as it seemed that there were only him and his assistant on the rooftop.

Hiss~ Could it be!

"Hey, stop it! Do you know what you are doing?!"

"Of course I know... Hey, is your online name 'Muder'?"

"Well, it's me." A man's miserable voice came from the other end of the line: "Please, stop hitting me. I plead guilty. Hand me over to the police."

Shotarou on the other end of the phone: ???

Holy crap! The criminal is caught!

WTF? !

...A few minutes later, Terui Ryu, who had just gone out a short distance, hurried back and temporarily requisitioned an office.

In the room, Moriguchi looked at the criminal's face, which was so swollen that his facial features could not be seen, for a long time. Finally, he confirmed from the documents found on the criminal that this was indeed the 'Muder'.

"Mihara Mutsuo, 23 years old."

After confirming the identity of the criminal, Terui Ryu took out a silver bracelet and put it on the other's wrist. The arrested Mihara Mutsuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Terui Ryu: ...

He glanced at Lan Guanghong, who shrugged innocently, "Self-defense, Inspector. The dopant came at me, I can't just take the beating."

"...Try not to hit your face next time. It'll be hard to work if it's swollen like this."

"Okay, but wait, there's another criminal in this case."

Lan Guanghong smiled and raised a finger, spinning it around, then suddenly pointed in a certain direction: "It's you! Mihara Mutsuo's accomplice!"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the finger.

Shi Ya blinked and pointed at her own face blankly: "Me?"

Shotarou slapped his forehead and hurried forward to pull Tokiya aside.

Now, the target pointed by Lan Guanghong became...

The captain of Kazematsuki Megumi's makeup team, a girl with glasses named Koizumi Midori.

"Eh? Cui, how could it be her?" Moriguchi covered his mouth with a look of disbelief.

"Sorry, this is the truth. This is the evidence." Lan Guanghong tapped the criminal's phone on the table. "It contains all the records of Koizumi's contact with the criminal. It ended with her revealing that Kazamatsuri Megumi was Moriguchi and asked the criminal to kill people."

"But unfortunately, all your actions are under the control of my assistant Ayanami, so your conspiracy is doomed to fail!"

With all the evidence in hand, Koizumi's face suddenly darkened.

"I see!" Shotarou suddenly realized, "No wonder you went straight to the rooftop when you got here. Are you waiting for the dopant there?"

Lan Guanghong raised his head proudly: "That's right!"

"Then why didn't you tell me? I called you as soon as I had any news."

"Come on, honestly, are you trying to give me a clue?"

Shotaro:......

Damn, have I been seen through?

……

The popular idol incident was over, and Shotaro sat in front of the typewriter as usual, typing the details of the case into paper in Roman language.

However, unlike the calmness and relief he felt when completing tasks in the past, today he always felt uncomfortable all over, as if something was missing.

"Really? I must stay away from that guy next time!"

Thinking this in his mind, he couldn't help but look out the window, wondering what that person was doing now.

Well, I guess he's also reviewing the case, which is what every qualified detective has to do after all.

...Lan Guanghong's family.

"How is it? Still can't move today? How pitiful."

Falia, wearing a pink sexy nurse outfit, sat on the edge of the bed, scooped a spoonful of steaming soup from the small bowl in her hand and blew on it.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~"

"Ah." Lan Guanghong, who was dressed as a seriously injured patient, opened his mouth, and Falia poured the spoonful of soup into it.
