Chapter 106 Until the Sea Turns Blue - What a coincidence, I just came out to pick up some trash...
Memorial ceremony.
For those who have great influence, after their death, people often hold a memorial service on the 49th day to commemorate them, as well as a memorial ceremony for them on every anniversary of their death.
On this day, people chant scriptures, make offerings, and gather in silence to keep the memory of the deceased alive and commemorate their lives.
As the former village chief of Yueying Island, Guishan Yong is of course one of the "people with great influence" on Yueying Island.
Therefore, on the third anniversary of his death, many people in suits or solemn black clothes gathered in the community center, kneeling on cushions, listening to the old monk in front of them chanting scriptures and beating wooden fish in front of the black and white photo of Kameyama Isamu.
On the seat cushion, Hideo Kawashima, who was wearing a suit, looked around, stood up, opened the door and walked out.
Shimizu Masato beside him gave him a gloomy look.
.
corridor.
Conan and Haibara Ai walked side by side in the corridor.
"Habara, you just..."
Conan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you okay?"
Although Haibara quickly returned to normal, Conan still noticed her loss of composure at that time.
It looked as if the prey was in extreme fear and unable to move.
What happened?
Could it be that Haibara was abused in the organization in the past, leaving her with psychological trauma, and now she is under stress due to the recurrence of certain specific situations?
Fortunately, she met Sister Lin. Conan thought, Sister Lin is so thoughtful and will definitely take good care of Huibara.
"I..." Haibara Ai was also hesitant.
She didn't know if she should tell Conan how she felt.
Tell him that you were trembling with fear because you felt that there were members of the organization nearby?
It’s no big deal if Conan doesn’t believe it, but it’s really troublesome if he does.
The organization would not appear on this remote island for no reason. They must be doing something here.
She was familiar with the organization's style. Although they would do anything to achieve their goals, they acted in a low-key and secretive manner and would not harm passers-by unless necessary.
But if a passerby gets involved... they won't show mercy.
What if Conan rashly runs to investigate and runs into their gunfire?
At that time, she, Conan, and Sister Lin... might all be in danger.
Haibara Ai admits that she is a coward.
Even though she was persecuted and her sister was killed by that group of people, she just wanted to stay away and had no intention of resisting.
Her life now is good enough and happy enough, how can she dare to ask for more?
Edogawa is different from her. He longs to return to his former self because the name "Kudo Shinichi" carries too many things with him and it is not an identity that can be abandoned at any time.
But she... Miyano Shiho, who needs Miyano Shiho?
In this world, besides my sister and... Punch, who else needs Miyano Shiho?
She doesn't even need herself anymore.
But... Haibara Ai looked at Conan who was beside her with worried eyes.
If the information is concealed, wouldn't it be too unfair to Kudo who is determined to find the organization?
When she just escaped, it was the name "Kudo Shinichi" that gave her the direction to survive.
She sighed.
"I feel 'their' presence."
"They? Wait, you don't mean--" Conan's face showed a shocked expression and his voice became a little louder.
"--Shh!" Huibara Ai hushed him in annoyance. "Yes, they are the guys you dream of catching. I sensed their aura, and it's the same as... the codename members I met in the organization."
"Who is it..." Conan brainstormed.
Many figures flashed through his mind, then disappeared one by one.
"Oh no! The people from the organization are definitely going to do something bad on Moon Shadow Island. I have to stop them."
"Edogawa." Huihara Ai's voice was colder than ever before. "What do you want to do? Stand in front of them and tell them that you've found them, and ask them to surrender? Do I need to remind you how dangerous that group of people is?"
"Besides..." Huiyuan Ai hesitated, "People from the organization don't necessarily come here to do bad things."
The people in the organization are not necessarily bad people.
Haibara Ai swallowed down these highly subjective words.
"What the hell are you talking about, Haibara!"
The sound that Conan had just suppressed became louder again.
"Do you know what they have done? Don't you know how many people they have killed?"
Haibara Ai was stunned by Conan's yelling.
yes.
How many people have they killed? Doesn't she know it herself?
But… she looked down at the tips of her shoes.
What does that have to do with her?
Every minute of every day, people die on this planet from various causes.
Haibara Ai's world is very small, so small that it can only accommodate a few people.
Of course she hated the organization.
But in the organization, both her sister and Punch are the most important people to her.
Haibara Ai suddenly realized that her moral and legal concepts were quite weak. At that moment, she actually thought, "Even if her sister and Punch kill someone, so what? I can help them clean up the mess."
But the boy next to him is different from him.
In any case, his world is much bigger than hers, and there are many more people who care about him and who he cares about than she does. His sense of social responsibility is undoubtedly higher than hers.
If he has the ability, he will stand up without hesitation to fight against the strong, protect the weak and uphold justice.
Although warm, it was too strong. She was used to having everyone around her revolve around her, and she didn't consider that people like her would also be afraid of being burned by the sun.
I really don't get along with this kind of person.
Haibara Ai sighed in her heart.
Her tone grew colder.
"Of course I know. Haha, do you think... could the medicine I made have contributed to the deaths of some of the people they killed?"
"In a sense, I'm also an out-and-out murderer. So, Great Detective, are you going to arrest me in the name of justice?"
She showed almost no sign of weakness, staring straight into Conan's eyes.
Conan didn't understand why Haibara would say such a thing.
As expected, as expected...
He was annoyed in his heart. As expected, Haibara was born and raised in the organization and was the same as the people in the organization.
However, when he looked into Huibara's eyes, he felt that he had no right to blame her.
Unlike him, Haibara is the one who was actually harmed by the organization.
At least Haibara's fearful reaction was real.
Victims, he thought.
No one is blaming the victim.
If you blame the victim, what's the difference between that and the murderer? You're both causing harm to others.
But he still felt very aggrieved.
He decided to ignore Haibara Ai for the time being.
So he turned away from looking at Haibara Ai and walked faster.
Haibara Ai was not willing to be outdone, so she turned her face away and ignored him.
The two children returned to the living room in an awkward manner.
Mao Lilan was very happy to see the two children: "Conan, Ai. Hey, where is Miss Lin?"
"Sister Lin went to the bathroom."
Conan replied.
Although he thought Lin Xi was just finding an excuse to slip away.
Who would go to the toilet with a garbage tongs and a garbage bag, looking eager to try?
She must have gone to pick up trash secretly without their knowledge!
"I see..."
Mao Lilan nodded, looked at the two children, and said with a smile: "Did you have fun this afternoon? It seems that you all had a very fulfilling time."
Conan's half-moon eyes.
If fulfillment means spending an entire afternoon picking up trash at the beach, then it was indeed very fulfilling - a little too fulfilling.
"It's okay." He said reluctantly.
Ai Haibara walked past them and went to the sofa on the other side and sat down.
Conan moved away from her and sat on the other side of the sofa.
Mao Lilan looked at the two children thoughtfully.
The atmosphere is a bit strange...
Isn't there going to be a conflict?
She didn't ask rashly, but picked up her phone and typed:
[Ms. Lin, Conan and Ai seem to be having a quarrel.]
【Do you know what just happened? 】
She waited for a long time before she got a reply.
"Hmm... I kind of know. But I think that children should just sort things out on their own. If adults intervene, it will only exacerbate the conflict."
What do you think, Miss Lan?
Mao Lilan thought about it and felt that Lin Xi was right.
She now has a blind trust in Lin Xi, and always feels that as long as Lin Xi comes back, all problems will be solved, whether it is a mysterious commission or a conflict between children.
【good. 】
Lin Xi saw the reply and put down the phone.
Xiaolan would be surprised if she saw her now.
Because she is not in the bathroom or in some indoor scene at the moment.
Behind her was the boundless sea, baring its fangs and claws in the darkness.
Only the moonlight overhead cast its light, outlining her silhouette in the darkness.
In the humid sea breeze, she confronted the man opposite her in silence.
"Does it have to be like this, Miss Lin?"
After a while, the man opposite sighed.
"You were just notifying the others to come here and arrest me, right?"
The man turned his head, looked at the black sea, and took two steps forward, as if he was going to walk into the sea.
She was carrying a person on her shoulders, who seemed to be unconscious.
The person on her shoulders looked much taller than she was, but she carried him easily and effortlessly.
"...No, how is that possible." Lin Xi was at a loss for words. "Who can I notify? It's just that my child had a conflict with someone else's child, and I was just thinking about how to mediate."
"Besides, what you're about to do looks quite interesting."
Lin Xi glanced at the person on her shoulder and said, "Excuse me, is this person on your shoulder Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Kawashima Hideo, or Nishimoto Ken?"
The story mission given by the system clearly states that these three are the unlucky ones who are going to die.
And look at the person in front of her - it was a dark and windy night, and he was carrying an unconscious man towards the beach - tsk tsk tsk, was he going to drown him?
She just came out to pick up some trash and see what her dear subordinates were doing on the island. As she was walking towards the red dot representing Bourbon, she saw this scene.
Ah, how should I put it, this is just too coincidental, isn't it?
The person opposite was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"As expected, you already knew. You found me faster than anyone else, and even tried to test me with those words before the memorial ceremony began. You already knew my background, didn't you?"
"It's really hidden."
"Then, have you ever thought about how the murderer would treat you if you discovered his crime scene, Miss Lin?"
