Chapter 67
◎Confession◎
Yuantai and the others' injuries are just superficial, and they can be healed with some medicine. They're not serious.
Several people were really relieved, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the other child's parents. After all, they took a healthy child away and brought back a half-dead child. How could they still trust you to hand over their child to them next time?
After examining Yuantai and the others' injuries, Mu'an Jiaxi and his group went to the Metropolitan Police Department to record their statements. The statements were not difficult, they just talked about what they had experienced.
After recording his statement, Muan Jiaxi also retrieved his two cell phones. They then said goodbye to Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha and returned to Beika Town. This thrilling camping trip had come to an end. For most of the day, bombs, kidnappers, and murders had been a rollercoaster of emotions.
Mu'an Jiaxi sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside the window, thinking to himself: When going out with Conan, one really needs to be prepared at all times. This journey has been really enough.
After the two of them sent Conan and the others back, they also returned home. Muan Jiaxi directed Amuro Toru to put the tent in the designated location.
Mu An Jia Xi said: "Okay, this is fine."
Amuro Toru leaned his tent against the wall, then dusted off his hands and said, "You must be hungry. I'll go make some noodles."
Mu'an Jiaxi quickly stopped him and said, "I don't want noodles, I want steak."
Amuro Toru walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, rummaged through it, and then pulled out two packages of raw steak. "Luckily, we still have two left. The kitchen is fuming. Go sit on the sofa for a while. I'll be right there."
She obediently walked to the sofa and sat down. She leaned over to pick up the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the TV. After about ten minutes, a voice came from the kitchen, "Jia Xi, clear the coffee table. We can eat now."
She stretched her head and responded, "Okay." Then she stood up and took out a wooden basket from the side of the sofa, swept everything on the coffee table into the basket, and then placed it on the side of the sofa.
In a moment, Amuro Toru came out carrying two plates. Muan Jiaxi could smell the fragrance from a distance. Seeing the food still smoking, he almost drooled and exclaimed in his heart: What a delicious smell!
He placed the plates on the coffee table, moved one in front of her, and then moved a chair to sit opposite her. Mu An Jiaxi looked at where he was sitting and asked in confusion, "Why don't you sit on the sofa?"
Amuro Toru's eyes flickered, his expression unclear, and he said gently in a hoarse voice, "Just sit here today."
She felt puzzled for a moment, shrugged and said, "Whatever you want."
I lowered my head and took a mouthful of noodles. As soon as I looked up, I saw Toru Amuro's weird eyes again. It felt weird, but I didn't care. I lowered my head and took a bite of the steak. The steak was just right, the meat was tender and delicious, especially the sauce on it, it was amazing.
I raised my head and wanted to take a tissue to wipe my mouth, but met his eyes again. I was stunned and thought to myself: What's wrong with him today? Why is he so weird?
Finally, she decided to ask, stammering, "Well...well...you today."
Amuro Toru's eyes suddenly became deep, and his expression was very serious. Mu An Jiaxi felt a little uncomfortable after being treated like this, and sat back a little, and quickly changed the subject, "Well, it's okay."
He quickly lowered his head to eat his meal, as if he wanted to bury himself in the bowl so that he wouldn't be able to see him. He didn't know if he knew someone was watching him, but now he felt a burning sensation in his head.
"Jia Xi, stop for a moment. I have something to tell you." A deep, pleasant and familiar voice sounded above his head.
Mu'an Jiaxi hesitated for a long time before finally raising his face, which had been buried in the plate. Facing him, looking into his fiery eyes, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if a thousand needles were pricking his buttocks, making him fidget uncomfortably.
She didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, wanting to hear what he wanted to say.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke. His thin lips parted, and a gentle voice floated out. He whispered, "Jia Xi, I don't want to wait any longer. You know the nature of my work. It's extremely dangerous. I don't know when I could die. But thinking back to what happened just now, if you hadn't successfully defused the bomb, I would never have had the chance to express my feelings.
Her heart skipped a beat!
He continued, "Because of the nature of my work, I used to treat my country like my lover, giving it all my love. In my world, I couldn't fall in love because danger could strike at any moment, and I could die in the next second, so I couldn't hurt anyone. But now I don't think that way anymore. Call me selfish, but I don't want to have any regrets. I want you by my side, even for a moment."
Amuro Toru's sudden confession was something she hadn't anticipated. It sent her previously calm heart into a rollercoaster of emotions, a complex rollercoaster of emotions. Suddenly, a mixture of joy, disbelief, and confusion filled her heart.
She really didn't expect that he would like her, and she felt complicated emotions.
Could she agree? Even if she agreed, what good would it do? This relationship would always have a beginning but no end, and he would be the one who would be sad in the end.
Amuro Toru remained silent, just looking at her quietly. Despite his outward appearance of composure, he rubbed his hands under the coffee table until they were practically red. Inside, he was even more nervous. He didn't feel this nervous the first time he handled a wooden barn.
Mu'an Jiaxi's heart was equally restless, like the surging waves. He pursed his lips and hesitated, "I... I..."
Looking up into his eyes, I mustered up the courage to say, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Amuro Toru's heart thumped, as if he had been hit hard by a punch. He gradually became uneasy, "You... I want to hear the truth."
She organized her words and said after a moment, "To be honest, I don't know. My situation is a bit special."
Amuro Toru's heart thumped again, and it hurt so much!
She pursed her lips and stammered, "I...I can...give you some time. There's no rush, no rush."
He was flustered and stammering, and the usually calm and composed Amuro Toru was actually stuttering. It seemed that his true nature was revealed when he encountered the matter of Mu An Jiaxi.
He is no longer the Toru Amuro that everyone knows, but a flesh-and-blood him who gets panicky, nervous, and anxious, with his emotions all written all over his face.
It was the first time Mu Anjiaxi saw him like this, and his heart felt like it had been cut open by someone, like a knife. It hurt so much! It hurt so much!
She lowered her head in guilt, stopped talking, and wolfed down a mouthful of noodles. Tears fell unconsciously into the bowl. She said countless sorrys in her heart, but it could not make up for even one ten-thousandth of the hurt she had caused him.
She cried while eating, afraid that he would notice her, so she kept her head down and kept eating. She couldn't fill her mouth with food, but she kept eating without looking up, afraid that if she did, he would see her tears all over her face.
But she didn't see that Amuro Toru opposite her was just like her, with his entire face almost buried in the bowl, and she didn't even notice his slightly trembling hands.
From that day on, Toru Amuro disappeared, leaving only a text message: After all, there is a difference between men and women. Since your injury has healed, I will move back from today.
He didn't show up again in the following days, and Mu'an Jiaxi kept locking himself in the room, acting like a coward, and didn't go anywhere.
Looking at this posture, people who don’t know would think that he will never go out in his life.
In fact, she was very upset, and she was relieved that he moved out.
Because now I don't know how to face him. Whenever I see him, I think of that day's confession, and then I want to avoid him again. It's not because of anything else, nor is it because his confession makes me feel awkward and I want to distance myself from him. It's just that I don't know what to do, I don't know how to respond. Saying I like him, I question my heart. He has already taken up residence in her heart without knowing when. If he is hurt, she will worry about him. If he is sad, she will feel sad too.
She was actually happy and even a little delighted when he confessed his feelings. She had always felt that she had fallen in love with him, but because she had always regarded herself as an outsider, she kept telling herself that she was not from here and would have to go back sooner or later.
This idea had already taken root in my mind, so even though I vaguely realized that I had fallen in love with him, I quickly suppressed it.
Until the day he confessed his love to her, she felt strange in her heart and was forced to face the problem and rethink it.
Although Muan Jiaxi's mother had passed away due to illness over there, she still had her father and friends. She couldn't just leave the world she had lived in for more than 20 years and never go back. It was impossible. But it was precisely because she knew she also liked Amuro Toru and had him in her heart that she was so conflicted.
"Ding." The phone on the coffee table rang with a text message, interrupting her thoughts. She came to her senses and leaned over to pick up the phone, unlocked the screen, and checked the message: "Go check if there is any problem with Kil's identity."
Mu'an Jiaxi looked at the text message and felt a pang in his heart. Did Gin suspect Gil?
Muan Jiaxi knew Kil's true identity. She was of course an undercover agent, but how could she let Gin know this? She had to think of a way.
I thought of the most suitable candidate, Shuichi Akai. Doesn't he have a partnership with Kil? Now that she's in trouble, he certainly can't just sit back and watch. After all, he still has to rely on her for information, doesn't he?
She immediately set off, grabbing her keys and her phone. She looked at the phone Gin had given her, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to take it. She only took her own phone and left, watching carefully for signs of tracking along the way.
Arriving at the door of Kudo's residence, she looked around cautiously. Seeing that no one was following her, she walked over and rang the doorbell. A moment later, a man with pink hair came out, squinting his eyes, opened the door, and said with a smile, "Ms. Mu'an, it's you. May I help you?"
Mu An Jia Xi said seriously, "Let's go inside and talk."
Chongshi Subaru also realized that the matter was not simple, and immediately made way for her to come in.
The two of them sat on the sofa in the living room. Chong Shi Subaru poured a glass of water and handed it to her, then sat down on the sofa beside her, still squinting his eyes and looking at her.
She didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "Gin asked me to investigate Gil's identity."
Chongshi Subaru suddenly half-opened his eyes, revealing dark green pupils. He exuded a powerful aura and looked at her coldly, saying, "Gin suspects her!"
