Never Not
Ch. 32: Critical Shohei?

"Shey! Shohyi-kun! Did you hear me? What the hell's going on? What's wrong with you?" rai shouted over the phone while hearing Shohei's shriek.

Of course, Rai's voice was no longer heard by Shohei because his phone was thrown from his hand, moreover, the piercer accidentally stepped on the phone many times until it was damaged and broke when he heard Rai's voice from the phone connection. Not only that, he reached into Shohei's pocket and took something inside.

Amidst the intense pain that hit him, Shohei tried to hold the offender's leg from escaping. However, his face and back were instead kicked so many times that it made both his hands detach from the piercer's legs. Even so, the man who became an investigator in the Metropolitan Police was still trying to get up as if he was going to pursue the perpetrator. Unfortunately, his body was too weak and he was sprawled back. Next to his hand, he continued to hold his left abdomen, trying to stop the blood flowing like a river. Cold sweat slid down from his forehead.

In the remnants of his consciousness, he stared at the gamang camellia bouquet that would be given to his lover. He remembered Seina was waiting for him at this moment. They even plan to have dinner together.

"Seina-chan, tu—wait .. a—aku," he said with dimming eyes.

Rai gasped when the phone just disconnected. He tried to contact Shohei again, but his call was not connected. Afraid of wanting things to happen to Shohei, he checks the map where Shohei is. From a recent phone history, it was seen that he was in Sinagawa.

He hurried to get his coat to leave. However, it was suddenly recalled that the distance between his apartment and where Shohei was currently located took an hour. Moreover, he had to use public transportation to reach that place.

Rai picks up his cell phone and calls the emergency rescue team and informs him of Shohei's current location.

"Moshi-moshi, help me. My friend needs an ambulance now" he said in a panic mixed with worry.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, but it looks like someone attacked him while he was calling me. And until now his phone is hard to contact."

"Okay, please tell me the location."

Rai tells Shohei's location from the GPS map. Thanks to him, an ambulance came immediately and immediately took Shohei to the nearest hospital. Apparently, the man was unconscious when the rescue team arrived. There were three stab wounds to his left abdomen that were quite severe and he had severe bleeding.

Seina walked hurriedly in the corridor of the Hospital. He saw several security personnel on guard to detain the reporters who had arrived. He approached Mr. Yamazaki and his wife waiting in front of the operating room. The man who once served as the National Police Chief refused to be interviewed related to the incident experienced by his son.

"Uncle, Auntie, what happened to Shohei?"

"He was attacked by someone. The doctor said his stab wound was deep enough and he needed a lot of blood donations" said a lethargic Mr Yamazaki. How not, the only child is critical and potentially life-threatening.

Shohei's mother hugged Seina. "He was being critical and unconscious" he exclaimed.

"Calm Auntie! Shohei will soon be conscious."

"It looks like Yamazaki-san has been robbed, because all the money in his wallet is gone" Yamazaki said.

"Mugged?" repeat Seina does not believe.

"He was attacked in an empty and deserted shopping area so there was no CCTV around the site, and no witnesses saw. This makes it difficult for police to identify the perpetrator. It seemed that Shohei had just been to the flower shop, as there was a bouquet of flowers that had fallen beside him. And also, the location of the incident is close to the flower shop," said Mr. Yamazaki explained the chronology obtained from the Sinagawa police.

Hearing that, made Seina touched. He turned to the operating room with his own eyes. Just a few hours ago, Shohei called saying he would pick her up and take her to dinner together. The man is lying there.

Seto Tanaka and one of the Metro Police investigators have just arrived. "We found an oddity in TKP. His phone was destroyed and badly damaged. Like being intentionally destroyed. If the perpetrator intended to rob, he should have also taken Yamazaki-san's phone, not destroyed it. Moreover, Yamazaki-san's phone is fairly expensive," Seto told Mr. Yamazaki.

Of course this made Mr. Yamazaki, his wife and Seina surprised.

"That means, picking up a wallet is just an excuse to make him look like he's being robbed. But, if he wasn't robbed, what was the motive of the perpetrator?" ask Mr. Yamazaki.

"This is just my guess, sir. But earlier, Yamazaki-san will take over the hostest girl case related to the viral video. It is possible that the perpetrator has found out, let alone the Metro Police Chief has announced it to the public. I'm afraid that the attack that the perpetrator did had something to do with it" Seto Tanaka replied hesitantly.

Seina was instantly dumbfounded. Coinciding with that, the doctor just came out of the room to report if the operation had been completed. However, until now Shohei is still critical and not yet awake.

The attack on one of the Metro Police investigators was apparently the head of the news line tonight. Unfortunately, some netizens assume that the news is not important and is just a diversion of issues. Netizens are more looking forward to the Black Shadow live broadcast to uncover the case of the hostest girl related to the video is going viral.

Yuriko ran hastily towards her apartment. He had seen firsthand the news of the stabbing that Shohei had suffered. He even canceled going with his friends once he knew the man he liked was critical.

Yuriko goes into Rai's unlocked room. He saw Rai just sitting relaxed at the window while smoking a cigarette. It appears that several cigarette butts have been scattered on the floor.

"Then what should I do? I'm not a doctor!" he said slowly while leaning his head on the window pole.

"At least you should go see him! Let's go see him now!"

Rai stared withered towards Yuriko. "You want to see it, so you're taking me, right?"

"Are you guys really friends?" asked Yuriko who did not understand Rai's current reaction.

"We were friends for a few reasons. I can't see him, I can't. Our relationship is not that simple" Rai said slowly as he smeared cigarette smoke.

Yuriko glared as she rubbed her face. "I really don't understand you!"

"I'm not asking you to understand!"

"Whatever! All I know is you're really unfaithful, man!" yuriko said annoyed as she turned around.

Rai laughed miris. "He'll be fine. I'm sure of it! He was not a person who gave up easily for anything, including to survive!"

Yuriko turned back her body facing towards Rai who was smiling faintly.

Yuriko nodded slowly. "Tell me if you hear the latest news about him" he said, then exited Rai's room.

Rai looked at the dense sky without stars. Although he looks relaxed, but he is still not good at hiding his worried mimic. The man who was three years older than him had a big role in his life. If without Shohei, maybe he had rotted in prison by now. Moreover, Shohei created the character of Black Shadow in him, which is now a flattery of many people.

Shohei, what should I do now? I really don't know what to do, for you and for the case you're working on. Get up and control myself as usual!

Kei Ayano has just stepped out of a traditional-style house after interviewing the woman who made the viral video. He heaved a heavy sigh as he felt that this interview was a waste. He was interested in the woman's statement saying that his sister had a relationship with one of the bureaucrat officials. Unfortunately, when interviewed earlier, the woman claimed not to know who the bureaucrat official was.

When he was about to get on the motorbike, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, there's some shocking news! Yamazaki Shohei of the Metropolitan Police stabbed someone. All I heard was that he was robbed on the street and had three stab wounds and was being critical" his partner told a telephone line.

Kei was shocked for a moment. "Do you know where the hospital is being treated?"

"General Hospital in Sinagawa. But journalists are forbidden to cover. We're just being asked to wait for clarification from the police."

Kei didn't stay silent. She immediately contacted Seina to ask what happened to her cousin's sister's lover. Seina also explained all the information she got. Including the alleged assault related to the viral video case that will be handled.

Kei's eyes narrowed next to the. "I've guessed this is a big case related to one of the officials" he said with a slanted smile.

"Do you also think Shohei was attacked because of the case he was about to handle? ask Seina.

"Yes, I'm sure. I just interviewed the woman in the viral video. Something strange, he looked frightened to speak. It's not like in the video he uploaded to YouTube. Someone may threaten her and ask her to shut up. I just hope that Black Shadow can really solve this case. But, until now he hasn't shown up yet."

Seina's eyes lit up as the name Black Shadow was called.

Black Shadow, where can I meet you? How can I talk to you? You have to help Shohei solve this case. Only you can!
