Chapter 149 "He Xi——"

"Have you seen me before?"

Conan Edogawa was at a loss: "Huh?"

"Conan, your eyes always seem to say, you know me."

"I don't know him." Conan Edogawa shook his head: "But, Brother Hane looks a bit like my neighbor brother when I was a child. When I saw you, I thought it was the neighbor brother who came back."

"So, where did he go?"

"I don't know. I lost contact with him after I moved."

Miyakawa Ling said: "You stayed here just to ask me a few questions? Now that you have answered them, how about I take you home?"

Edogawa Conan shook his head.

A policeman happened to come out and saw Conan Edogawa, and asked kindly, "Conan, are you going home? I have a mission to go over there, do you need me to take you there?"

Since Conan Edogawa comes to the Metropolitan Police Department so often, the police here are used to seeing him in the Metropolitan Police Department, and they don't think there is anything wrong with a child always appearing here.

Conan Edogawa ran over and grabbed his collar: "Officer Takagi and I have something to say in private."

The childish words made people laugh, and Miyakawa Ling said helplessly: "Then I'll go first, see you next time."

"Bye, Brother Hane."

When the young man walked away, Takagi lowered his head and said, "What are you going to tell me... Conan, why are you sweating all over? Are you sick?"

Conan Edogawa forced a smile: "No, it's just a little hot."

Too sensitive...Yu Renling.

He was able to deduce the reasons behind just a few details, even a change in the look in the eyes.

I really shouldn't have asked that question just now... I'm afraid it has aroused the other party's suspicion now, right?

Game planner? Part-time consultant? Is that really all there is to it?

The mystery surrounding He Xi has not been solved at all. Could this person be related to the behind-the-scenes force that is targeting He Xi?

Don't be in a hurry, Kudo Shinichi, take your time.

Being impatient will cause problems. You already know this, don't you?

"Officer Takagi, is Hane-nii really a police consultant?"

Takagi Shigeru scratched his head and said, "That's true... We just found out about this because the higher-ups just found him not long ago. He's said to be a very mysterious genius."

"genius?"

"I don't know the details, but we will probably have to deal with him often in the future." Takagi Wataru asked, "By the way, Conan, what was the secret you wanted to tell me just now?"

Conan Edogawa laughed it off and brushed it off.

He had something on his mind, so he went to Dr. Agasa's house in the rain at night.

"Dr. Agasa, I saw a..." He stopped talking before he could finish his words, because Dr. Agasa was holding a girl who was soaking wet and walking anxiously towards the inner room.

"What happened?" Edogawa Conan frowned.

When Dr. Agasa saw him, he shouted in surprise: "Shinichi, come and help! I just saw a girl fainted at the door..."

Edogawa Conan approached, and after seeing the girl's condition clearly, his pupils shrank -

The girl was about the same age as him, but she was wearing clothes that were obviously much too big for her.

This situation was just like... just like the scene when he had just been drugged and his body shrunk!

…

Miyagawa Ling received a call in the evening.

"Shirley defected."

These few simple words made him stand up suddenly.

Shiho defected?!

Ever since the death of No. 17 was exposed and Gin showed Miyano Shiho the video of his murder, the relationship between the two has become completely tense.

But they all maintained their cooperation tacitly. Miyano Shiho did not secretly tamper with his medicine, and she also helped him conceal the fact that he had not taken the medicine before.

Miyagawa Rei's attitude towards her was naturally the same as before, but he could not avoid being alienated, and his relationship with Miyano Akemi also became cold.

When he left the institute, the organization ordered the interrogation of Miyano Akemi because Shuichi Akai had defected from the organization not long ago.

Miyagawa Rei went to carry out this task.

The result, of course, had nothing to do with Miyano Akemi. It wasn't that Miyagawa Ryo covered up for her, but that she really didn't know and didn't get involved.

Because Miyagawa Ryo protected her, the matter was left unresolved. Only the mission to assassinate Akai Shuichi was listed high on the list of the organization's missions.

Miyano Akemi was fine, so Miyagawa Ryo never thought that Miyano Shiho would defect.

But the fact that he had not received any intelligence notification in advance made him realize that this was the "main line" that could not be changed.

only……

The ghost couldn't tell him where Miyano Shiho was now or whether anything happened to her, so he had to investigate it himself!

Miyagawa Ryo immediately returned to the base. Without going into the details of the incident, he was taken to the room where Miyano Shiho was imprisoned. It was in this room that Miyano Shiho disappeared.

This is an almost completely enclosed space, making it completely incomprehensible how a teenage girl could disappear out of nowhere.

After investigating for a while, Miyagawa Ling left because there were doubts but no clues.

The organization issued him the latest mission: [Kill Shirley and bring back the body]

Miyano Shiho has too many secrets of the organization in her mind. The organization cannot keep her and even wants to identify her body.

"Please help me check how many people have received this task." said Miyakawa Ling.

About an hour later, he got the result from the ghost.

"All code members in Japan received it, but most of them were issued as long-term missions. Only a few code members were ordered to give up other missions and treat this as a major mission."

"The list is: Belmode, Bourbon..."

Including Miyakawa Ryo, there are five people in total. It can be seen that the organization attaches great importance to them. The status and abilities of these five people in the organization are extraordinary.

Zero also has to carry out this mission...

Miyakawa Ling sighed softly.

After that night on the rooftop, they never met again due to his deliberate avoidance.

Not knowing how to face Furuya Rei is the least of the problems. The main thing is that Miyagawa Rei is afraid that the damn passive skill will pop up again and make him say something inappropriate.

Ah Xiu was so angry that she said she gave up on him, and Ling was provoked again...

No matter for whose benefit, we cannot meet.

Miyagawa Ryo started an investigation after that and did not return to the residence opposite the Mori Detective Agency. However, after a long investigation, he could not find the whereabouts of Miyano Shiho.

She not only disappeared from the organization, but also seemed to have disappeared from this world.

Miyakawa Ling couldn't help but have some bad guesses.

Miyano Akemi, who he hadn't contacted for a long time, also called him.

"Mingmei." After he answered the phone, he used this affectionate name, just like he had long ago.

The shallow breathing over there changed, as if someone was crying: "Ling, Shiho..."

"She's still alive."

"Are you on a mission to find her?" asked Akemi Miyano.

"Well, I'll find her."

"Thank you." Miyano Akemi was silent for two seconds before she choked up and said, "But... I also think that if Shiho just left here like this, I would never find her again."

"..." Miyakawa Ling's tone was strangely cold: "If you can't find her, you will be in trouble."

Miyano Akemi is just an insignificant peripheral member. She can be saved in the case of Akai Shuichi, but if even the core figure Miyano Shiho gets into trouble, the organization will definitely not let her go.

"I know," Miyano Akemi said, "but I still hope that Shiho can seize the opportunity and get away from here."

"Don't say it." Miyakawa Ling said coldly: "You are crazy."

"I didn't - I just, just... worried about her, but I couldn't help but have good hopes."

Miyakawa Ling didn't respond: "You want to die?"

"I..." Miyano Akemi was speechless.

"Do you still consider me a friend?"

"Ling, of course you are...but...I..."

"Then wait for my news first. Your sister's life or death is still unknown." Miyakawa Ling hung up the phone.

The location of the investigation was relatively close to his new identity as a "game designer", so he drove to the vicinity and then walked over.

In the twilight, his eyes were hidden in the darkness and his overall presence was very low.

"Brother Hane!" A childish voice crossed the sidewalk and echoed far away.

Miyakawa Ling looked back and saw several children waving at him excitedly.

Next to those children stood a girl who was no stranger to him.

——Ran Maori, classmate and friend of Kazuki Sekizawa.

Miyagawa Ling paused, but did not turn around and leave. Instead, he stood there waiting for them.

The green light came on, and the children ran over with joy. The girl also ran after him, looking at him curiously with her clear eyes - and then, as she got closer, she became shocked and dazed.

"He Xi--" She covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes blurred with tears.

"Long time no see." Miyakawa Ling's eyes moved away from Mao Lilan and fell on the three children: "Everyone."

"Huh? Sister Xiaolan, do you know Brother Hane?" Yoshida Ayumi asked in surprise.

Mao Lilan stared at Miyagawa Ling without blinking: "Wa Xi - is that you?"

Miyakawa Ling apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss, you got the wrong person. My name is Yu Ren Ling."

"But... you and Kazuki look so much alike..." Mouri Ran couldn't take her eyes off. Every moment she spent with the black-eyed classmate reappeared in her mind. She still finds it hard to accept the fact that he or she has died.

Many times, she felt that her first meeting, acquaintance, and separation with Sekizawa Kazuki were like a dream, which happened too quickly and left no trace.

The other person was originally such a quiet person, and apart from them, he didn't make friends with anyone else...So, after his death, it seemed as if they were the only three sad people in the whole world. Time passed as usual, and the days passed one after another. No one mentioned him, leaving him to be abandoned in the depths of time.

This face...Ran Maori never thought that she would see it again!

She tried to hold back her tears, but still burst into tears: "I'm sorry...are you really not He Xi?"

Those eyes, sparkling like lake water, were full of anticipation, as if she would be satisfied as long as she was given a positive answer and would not ask any more questions.

Miyakawa Ling lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Yeah."

"I'm very sorry." The girl bowed, her tears falling to the ground and breaking into countless tiny drops.

"But you look exactly like Kazuki. Don't you have a brother?"

"No."
