Chapter 104 Until the Sea Turns Blue - Piano Joins Us in Picking Up Trash...
On the other side, in the community center.
"What? You said Aso Keiji is dead?"
"Yes," the person checking the citizen records scratched his head. "The information I've found shows that the person you're talking about did exist on the island, but he died twelve years ago."
"Then, does he have any children on the island?" Xiaolan asked.
"Well..." the employee spread his hands awkwardly. "Theoretically, since you mentioned Keiji Aso's name, we can only tell you whether he's on the island. If you don't know the names of his children, it involves personal privacy, so it's not convenient for us to inquire..."
"Really? Can't you guys be more flexible?" Maori Kogoro complained. "Since he's dead, the people who sent me here are most likely their children or friends. What if they really run into trouble..."
"Mr. Maori?" Just then, a voice came from behind the two of them.
"Huh?" Hearing the voice, Mao Lilan turned around.
In front of me was a young man with blond hair and slightly dark skin, wearing a white lining, a black jacket, a baseball cap, and carrying a bag.
Very handsome, but he doesn't look Japanese...
Wait, could this be the blond detective Dad talked about last time, who solved the bomb problem with him at Yokohama Marine Park?
"Hmm? Oh, it's you, Amuro. Why are you here too? Have you received a commission like me?" Kogoro Mouri said.
They met at Yokohama Marine Park last time.
At that time, the bomber's client invited many detectives, including Toru Amuro.
Fortunately, the incident was finally resolved satisfactorily. He is worthy of being Kogoro Mori!
"Huh? No, I'm here for tourism." Amuro Toru smiled, "The scenery here is nice, and it's a holiday, so I came out to relax."
"I didn't expect to see you here. Isn't Conan here?"
Toru Amuro was deeply impressed by the elementary school student who showed calmness and wisdom far beyond his peers when facing danger last time.
"That kid is with Lin Xi." Maori Kogoro waved his hand.
"Ms. Lin? Is she here too?"
The young man laughed even more happily.
"Oh, Miss Lin is also here for a trip, so I'll ask her to take Conan with her," said Mao Lilan.
Somehow, even though the young man opposite her was smiling cheerfully, she felt a little uneasy.
It felt like seeing a wild beast baring its fangs and then lying dormant in an instant, making people mistakenly believe that the momentary chill was just an illusion.
"...Mr. Amuro?" Xiaolan couldn't help but speak.
"Oh, nothing, I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Miss Lin is here too. I always feel that this trip will be more interesting than I thought." The blond young man said with a smile.
Anyway, things will become interesting wherever you are, right?
Let me see what you want to do after disappearing for so many years and reappearing in another skin this time.
——Punch.
"If it's convenient, Mr. Maori, could you please tell me about your commission?"
…
It was a little later when Lin Xi and the two children finally arrived at the community center.
Conan seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and was pulled forward weakly by Lin Xi.
Finally, finally...
Finally no more picking up trash!
Conan roared in his heart.
It is not easy to pick up a bag full of garbage. Some of the garbage even emits a very unpleasant smell, which makes people subconsciously resist it.
As a result, the three of them had been busy until now, and had only just filled up one bag.
After discussion, they decided to exchange for the little dolphin hat that Lin Xi liked today, and then go to the coast together to pick up trash tomorrow to exchange for what the other two people wanted.
Conan at that time: ...
No, he didn't want it at all.
He just wants to rest now...
But I have to say that the scenery along the coast is indeed beautiful.
Layer upon layer of waves constantly beat against the rocks, and white seagulls flew back and forth between the sea and the shore, passing through one rugged terrain after another, and sometimes crossing a slightly flat beach.
When people face the splendor of nature, they will immediately feel their own insignificance, and strange emotions will arise in their hearts, causing them to exclaim: "Oh my God! I actually live in such a world!"
But the only bad thing is...
Conan glanced at the two people beside him with an expressionless face.
The sun is a little strong today, and it is a bit dazzling on the beach and white sand.
They both wore sunglasses! And he only wore clear glasses without prescription!
Feeling isolated.
Noticing Conan's gaze, Lin Xi gave him a bright smile: "What's wrong, Xiao Ke? Want the same cool sunglasses as mine? Oh, what a pity, you can't wear sunglasses with glasses at the same time... How about you take off your glasses and I'll give you a pair of sunglasses? I happen to have three with me."
Conan turned his head away, silently refusing.
The reflective glasses are his soul, and he will never sell his soul.
They walked along the corridor of the community center. Lin Xi muttered, "Where are Miss Lan and Mr. Maori?" while looking around.
She reached out and pushed open a closed door at the end of the corridor.
"Hey, there's a piano here."
Lin Xi walked into the room curiously, touched the piano, and felt dust on his finger.
"There's a lot of dust," she said. "Why is there a piano in the community center?"
Conan also walked over, reached out and naturally opened the piano cover, sat on the stool and started playing.
The cheerful and rhythmic music soon echoed in the empty room.
Beyer's "Stepping on the Cat".
When Conan finished playing, Lin Xi immediately applauded enthusiastically: "Great, Xiao Ke, you played beautifully!"
"How come you know everything, Xiao Ke?" she said teasingly.
Could it be that piano is also included in the special training program in Hawaii?
Conan felt a little embarrassed by Lin Xi's praise and scratched his head: "Not really..."
Lin Xi smiled, turned around and asked Huiyuan Ai: "Xiao Ai, do you want to try it?"
Haibara Ai was stunned.
“I can’t play the piano.”
"That's perfect. I'll teach you." Lin Xi winked at her. "I'll teach you the simplest thing. It's very easy to learn. How about that?"
Haibara Ai sighed in her heart.
Who can resist these eyes?
She nodded and was pulled by Lin Xi to sit in front of the piano keys.
"It's very good to play, look—"
Very funny and magical music poured out from Lin Xi's fingertips.
Conan:?
And so on and so forth.
This music...
I always feel that the atmosphere becomes cheerful when this music comes out.
And Lin Xi didn't lie to Huihara Ai, this song is indeed very simple.
"How is it? It's very simple, right?" Lin Xi said with a smile, "And if you don't know how to sing it, you can still sing it—"
"——Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast~"
She sang in Chinese.
This is a melody engraved in our DNA, impossible to forget.
Ai Huihara's fingers involuntarily followed Lin Xi's sound and began to play the piano keys.
At the end of the song, Lin Xi gave her a warm round of applause.
Although "Two Tigers" is very simple, it is not easy for someone who has never played the piano to perfectly reproduce it just by watching it once.
She is indeed a genius girl!
Lin Xi's slap was sincere.
Haibara Ai's face slowly turned red.
Come on, I just played a song, there's no need to applaud like that!
This makes her feel, how should I put it...
In short, it's very embarrassing.
She was about to stand up when she suddenly froze.
A chill rose from the soles of her feet, freezing her body and sweeping over her entire body.
What's going on?
Could it be... those guys?
Are the people from the organization also nearby?
Are you coming for me?
No, no, I have to run away. If I'm discovered, Sister Lin will be implicated...
In a moment, Haibara Ai thought a lot. Her hands clenched the edge of the chair, her face turned pale and she began to tremble.
Suddenly, a sigh came from the side. Huihara Ai felt her head become heavy, and the wide brim of the little penguin hat cast a shadow on her face.
It turned out that Lin Xi took off the hat they had just exchanged from the Little Dolphin Association from his head and put it on her head.
...Sister Lin is by my side.
After realizing this, all the negative reactions caused by fear disappeared.
Instead, Lin Xi brought a strong sense of security.
call.
Haibara Ai calmed her breathing and was a little afraid to look at Lin Xi.
Sister Lin must have noticed her reaction just now.
Would she find it strange? Would she question me, or... or think I was a weird kid?
Even though it has been so long since Lin Xi took her back, Huihara Ai is still afraid that all this is just a fragile dream.
It may burst with a slight touch, as fragile as colorful bubbles.
Lin Xi said nothing, but just held her hand.
"If you like piano, I'll buy one so we can practice at home."
"Xiao Ai, you can tell me anything you like."
"Our home should be filled with things you like."
Although Lin Xi was only talking about the piano, Huihara Ai understood her subtext.
This home belongs to the two of us.
You are a very important member of my family.
【I will never abandon you.】
Haibara Ai's eyes felt slightly sore, and she felt like she was about to cry again.
Why is Sister Lin always so gentle and so perceptive, easily seeing through her hidden thoughts and dispelling all her uneasy thoughts?
Since my face is covered, it's okay to let my emotions run wild a bit...
Lin Xi placed Huiyuan Ai's hands on the piano keys, as if he just wanted to teach her how to play the piano. Then he turned to the door and asked doubtfully:
"What a coincidence? Mr. Amuro, did you also receive a request from Keiji Aso, just like Mr. Mori?"
The blond young man who had just walked in smiled helplessly when he heard this:
"Ms. Lin, I'm not as famous as Mr. Maori, so I can't get commissions of this magnitude. My detective agency isn't usually frequented by many people..."
"I'm here for tourism. Uh, Ms. Lin?"
Lin Xi was overjoyed.
She looked at Amuro Toru with burning eyes, which made Amuro Toru feel a little uneasy.
This expression... Is this guy still thinking of letting him debut?
Lin Xi coughed lightly.
"Mr. Amuro, I wonder if you are interested in picking up trash... I mean, protecting the environment. Are you interested in protecting the home we live in together?"
Toru Amuro:?
Did she just say picking up trash?
He glanced subtly at the trash tongs placed at the door.
So she really brought this?
"fine."
He answered cautiously.
"It doesn't matter, even if you are not interested, we can make you interested in it."
Lin Xi stood up with a smile, and the little dolphin armband on her arm trembled with her movements.
Humph, you want to run away now that you’re here?
Join their trash picking family!
