Chapter 103 Kill Me 4 (Added) (Minor Revision)

Akiyama Kanade waited patiently for a while.

It's not that he wanted to scare Edogawa Conan on purpose, it's just that this guy is too reckless sometimes, and he has to teach him a lesson.

He adjusted his expression, raised his chin slightly, lowered his eyelids accordingly, looked indifferent, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised - an expression that looked gentle but was actually full of oppression.

The door opened slightly, revealing the figure of a small child.

Her body was shaking, her hood was buckled on her head, and her eyelids quickly lifted and drooped - just in that moment of eye contact, Akiyama Kanade could feel the fear so intense that it was about to drip out of her eyes.

Akiyama Kanade was stunned.

How could it be Shirley?

To be honest, he just caught a glimpse of the door opening slightly and then closing quickly, and a child appeared from the gap. Thinking of Conan who loved to fly around the crime scene like a busy bee, he naturally thought it must be him.

It's terrible.

He quickly put on a normal expression, half squatted down, and stretched out a hand to pat Shirley on the back to comfort her. As his fingers got closer, the other person's body trembled more violently, like a clockwork bad robot.

Akiyama Kanade: “…”

He didn't want to scare the person to death, so he lowered his arm.

"Good evening, little girl. I am one of the owners of this hotel. Don't be afraid. I was just joking with you. How did you end up here? Are you separated from your family?"

Considering that his appearance might remind Shirley of some shadow, Akiyama Kanade deliberately explained his identity so that she would let down her guard.

Shirley still didn't say anything. Akiyama felt that she was just trying her best not to faint from fear in front of him, and she probably didn't even pay attention to what he was saying.

Brother, what did you do to her to make her so afraid of you?

Akiyama Kanade thought for a moment, then placed his open palm in front of Shirley, with a few candies lying on it.

"Do you want to eat something? This is very useful when you are scared or frightened."

The candy that was delivered to her sight finally made Shirley react. She moved her head slightly and looked up at Akiyama Kanade carefully and quickly.

"She was with me." Akiyama Kanade looked to the side. The curly-haired police officer in black clothes stood under the light, raised his eyebrows slightly at him, said "sorry", then put out the cigarette in his mouth and threw it into the trash can.

He loosened the tie around his neck a little more, leaned over to pick up Huibara Ai, nodded to Akiyama Kanade, and said politely, "She's a little scared of people. Excuse me."

Akiyama Kanade did not stop them from leaving.

...Officer Matsuda is like a reliable adult.

But he seemed no longer able to see, or perhaps was too lazy to distinguish, what emotions were hidden behind his current expression.

Akiyama Kanade glanced at his watch and yawned pretentiously, "It's time to go back to bed. I'll call JILOISES to pick me up."

…

Jinpei Matsuda put Haibara Ai down at the corner of the corridor. Walk forward from here and go through a door to return to the hall.

Jinpei Matsuda didn't want to go back to the lobby and deal with so many people.

"Can you go back by yourself?" he asked uncertainly.

In his impression, this little girl has always been a cool little adult, not like a child at all, and very reliable. This is the first time he has seen her show such a frightened and helpless expression.

Although the silver-haired man was a little strange, and his behavior of handing candy to the little girl and his tone were already on the verge of a crime, Matsuda Jinpei's sharp criminal radar told him that he probably had no bad intentions.

But girls have the right to be horrified by any behavior that has no clear purpose.

Thinking that the little girl had just walked out of the lounge, Matsuda Jinpei asked again, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Huihara Ai's emotions had slowly calmed down. She shook her head and said, "My clothes got wet, so I went to change my clothes."

As a result, I accidentally heard things that I shouldn't have heard.

I was lucky not to be silenced.

Maybe it was because the man who looked like Gin just treated her as an elementary school student who knew nothing. Once he realized something was wrong, or for safety reasons, he would probably kill her immediately.

...For the doctor's safety, maybe she should move to another place as soon as possible.

The one who could have protected her is dead.

Haibara Ai suddenly looked up at Matsuda Jinpei, who was stunned for a moment - her eyes were so sad that it was impossible for people to make any movement or make any sound under such a gaze.

"I hate you."

She said softly.

Matsuda Jinpei blinked blankly, "Little lady, did I say anything sorry to you?"

Even during the time when he was more of a jerk, he would never do anything excessive to girls, especially little girls, but it is not certain whether he would say anything excessive.

Huihara Ai still looked at him.

"Why are you all like this? If everyone is so powerful, why can't you protect anyone? My sister is like this, and he... is also like this. Why do they have to die..."

Being stared at by her with a sad and accusing gaze, Matsuda Jinpei slowly half-knelt down, "Are you talking about Haru? You two really have a good relationship."

"He was like a brother to me." The brown-haired girl fell into reminiscence. "That day he told me, 'When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be back to normal.' But I didn't wait for him to come back... I knew he was dead. Just like a fish that dies on the beach after leaving the sea, this time, he won't come back."

Gradually, even the news that her sister was still alive at that time became untrue. Haibara Ai had doubted more than once whether it was a lie she had made up for herself under great sorrow and pressure.

In fact, she lost everything again.

Jinpei Matsuda thought for a moment and picked her up again, "This is not the place to talk." He notified her temporary guardian Kogoro Mori that Haibara Ai was unwell and he wanted to take her to the hospital, and then took her into his car.

The black Mazda.

"There won't be any eavesdropping devices here." Haru had specially installed an anti-eavesdropping device for him at that time. Matsuda Jinpei believed that what Haru had configured for him must be the best, except that he liked to carve small "H&M" marks in various unexpected places.

Jinpei Matsuda really doesn't want anyone to see these marks and misunderstand that he is advertising for H&M.

"Young lady, what is your relationship with the black organization that Haru belongs to?"

Huihara Ai was silent.

Matsuda Jinpei looked at her inquiringly. "It's hard to believe, but... are you really just a little girl of seven or eight years old?"

Two people sat in the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat respectively. There was no light in the car, only a little street light in the distance brought a faint glow.

Huihara Ai felt that such a faint light was just right. She could see the other person's expression while hiding her own expression.

"If you want to know, tell me how he died... You must know. This is an equal exchange, very fair."

Matsuda Jinpei thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I'm not really interested in that. There's no need for me to know."

Huiyuan Ai: “…”

Give me some curiosity.

She changed her strategy. "Since you know that the organization is called the Black Organization, you should also know that it is a very dangerous criminal group. As a police officer, don't you want to know the intelligence related to this organization?" She held back her anger. "I just want to know what happened to him and how he died?"

Matsuda Jinpei was silent for a moment, "But he didn't want me to know."

This time it was Haibara Ai who was stunned.

She looked at the calm face of the police officer beside her. He said calmly, "Since he doesn't want me to know, I can choose not to know."

"I think he didn't tell you...because he didn't want you to feel sad for him."

"Although he's a real jerk, when he's gentle... you'll be overwhelmed."

He is born knowing how to play with people's hearts.

"…Forget it, just take me back."

On the way back, Huibara Ai took the initiative to ask: "Do you already know his identity?" Her voice was very low, as if she herself was not sure whether she wanted the other party to hear it, so she decided to leave it to fate.

Unfortunately, Jinpei Matsuda has very good hearing.

He hummed.

Huihara Ai let out a breath.

It was definitely a tragedy for Blue Orange Wine that Officer Matsuda knew about this. As a former member of the organization, Haibara Ai knew very well what kind of person he was.

Even though he pampers himself to no end, it doesn't prevent him from being hell to others.

He certainly doesn't want Officer Matsuda to hate or dislike him.

Huihara Ai felt that she needed to do something more for him.

"Do you know how he joined the organization and became what he is today?"

Matsuda Jinpei slowed down the car and asked in confusion, "Hmm?"

"When I first met him, he was asleep on a bench in the institute. When I approached him, he mumbled a female name in his sleep - he often called this name in his dreams. At first I thought it was the name of his girlfriend, but later I realized it was probably his sister."

"His biological sister. He treats me well because I am his sister. I may be similar to her in some ways, so sometimes when he looks at me, he will show the expression that he sees through me to others."

"But missing her means she is gone."

"When I was in the organization, I asked many people about his sister, but no one knew that he had a sister."

"…Are you trying to say that that might be the reason why he joined that organization?"

Because of the huge family changes, he fell into darkness and became so awkward, gentle yet cruel, passionate yet cold.

However, the exact story has been buried forever under the sea with the man's departure.

"I'm not saying this to ask you to forgive the wrong things he did. I know that people like you who believe in justice..."

"I'm not like that." Matsuda Jinpei retorted nonchalantly.

Huihara Ai heard it, and she smiled, "Anyway, I learned from a certain detective that a tragic past does not mean that a person can abandon justice and kill wantonly. I just want you to know that he is not crazy - even if many people think he is a madman."

"If he loves you, it's not a whim or a sign of some further madness. His brain is rational."

"His love is also rational."

A black Mazda stopped at the door of Dr. Agasa's house.

Huibara sighed, "...Really, why do I have to tell you this?"

That guy, does he even make her worry about confessing her love?

"No, thank you for telling me this." The police officer in black smiled.

Huihara Ai looked at him and said, "I thought you would hate him... when you find out that the real him is gray, bloody, and like a shark..."

Matsuda Jinpei keenly sensed the emotions hidden behind the brown-haired girl and patted her head gently. "Even if it is a shark, the ocean will allow it to swim freely to every place it can reach, and so do you."

Before getting off the car, Huiyuan Ai grasped the corner of her clothes awkwardly. She hid this little movement and maintained a calm tone, "I'm sorry for my previous attitude. I know it's not your fault."

"If he wants to live, I'm sure no one in this world can take him away."

So no one is responsible for this.

It was the shark that chose to be stranded, stranded on the beach it wanted, even if it meant being killed by the sun.
