Chapter 115 Until the Sea Turns Blue - Confused Help Me, Doctor Asai...
Toru Amuro didn't lie to Lin Xi, he really didn't have a safe house.
...This operation was originally very mysterious, and no one in the organization knew that he had gone to Moon Shadow Island. Where could they arrange a safe house for him?
He glared at Lin Xi and said, "Come if you want."
"Come!" Lin Xi said immediately.
Free food and accommodation, and there are handsome guys to look at, only a fool would not come.
So Toru Amuro turned around and left, and Lin Xi followed closely.
Amuro Toru: "How did you do that?"
Lin Xi: "What?"
Amuro Toru: "How did you know they were there?"
He was referring to Lin Xi's ability to accurately report the enemy's position every time.
Lin Xi pointed to her ears and said, "I was born with sharp senses. Even the smallest movement can't escape my ears."
Toru Amuro:?
How could she, with her sharp five senses, not even notice that he was standing next to the box?
No, maybe he discovered it and deliberately let him open the lid of the box?
He walked forward, suddenly turned around, pulled out a dagger, and put the tip of the knife against Lin Xi's neck.
Lin Xi clenched her hands, suppressed the subconscious urge to fight back, and tilted her neck to look at him.
"Brother Tou?"
Amuro Toru looked at her for a while and put down the dagger.
"fine."
When faced with a sudden attack, a well-trained person will subconsciously dodge or fight back.
Lin Xi didn't do anything just now. Does this mean that she is an ordinary person who has not received any training?
No, quite the opposite.
Normal people wouldn't be as calm as she was. They'd be startled, or at least their pupils would dilate. It was a natural reaction, unavoidable.
But Lin Xi didn't.
Her pupils were unresponsive.
Amuro Toru lowered his eyes.
No matter who Lin Xi is, he definitely has nothing to do with ordinary people.
...In fact, after the first contact with Lin Xi, Toru Amuro retrieved all of Lin Xi's information in the police citizen system.
The girl's life was simple. She was born in China. Both her parents had passed away, leaving her with a considerable fortune and perhaps some incredible connections.
But she came to Japan with the money, was admitted to Touto University, and settled down as an ordinary college student.
But as a sophomore, why does she have so much free time?
Maybe later, he needs to go to Dongdu University.
.
Conan was carried back by Asai Narumi.
Although his intelligence and memory were the same as those of a seventeen-year-old, his physical fitness was no different from that of a seven-year-old child.
No matter what he wants to do, he will still feel sleepy involuntarily after staying up late.
In the humid sea breeze, he gradually became unable to open his eyes; Dr. Asai beside him noticed his sleepiness, smiled, gently took the tools from his hand, picked him up with one hand and held him up, letting the boy's head rest on his shoulder.
"Good night, Conan-kun."
These were the last words Conan heard before he fell into a deep sleep.
A faint sense of disharmony arose in his heart, but that feeling was quickly overwhelmed by sleepiness.
He was soundly asleep and was gently placed on the white children's bed by Asai Narumi, who covered him with a quilt.
Asai Narumi gently closed the door, picked up his cell phone and checked the time.
It's two o'clock in the morning.
He pondered for a moment, returned to his small room in the clinic, took out the key he carried with him and unlocked the drawer.
Then open the drawer.
Conan would be surprised if he were here.
The drawers were filled with photos, letters, and sheet music.
Asai Narumi turned on the desk lamp.
The warm, light yellow glow of the desk lamp illuminates this small world.
He took out the photos one by one. Without exception, they were all of Keiji Aso—the elderly people of Tsukikage Island must still remember him, a once-famous artist.
Here are photos of him playing, taking a break, being interviewed, and receiving awards.
Most of the photos are black and white and were cut out of newspapers.
The photos are laid out in chronological order, ending abruptly with a picture of a house in flames.
Asai Narumi remembered that he was only fourteen years old when this happened.
He was still far from being old enough to handle everything, and sadly, he was still in the prime of his youth's memory, so everything he experienced at that time—
Disbelief, sadness and pain...
He remembered it clearly.
But as time went by and he gradually found out more, these emotions slowly turned in another direction:
anger.
Suspect.
Puzzled.
“Father, you…”
His fingers brushed over the black and white photos, and the unspoken words were buried in his heart.
Were you forced to bring those drugs back, or...
Are you also involved in making a profit?
Asai Narumi pressed his fingertips on the table, applying a little force until his fingertips turned white.
His father, Keiji Aso, was a famous pianist born on Tsukikage Island. After returning to his hometown for a performance, he suddenly locked himself in the house, killed his wife and children with a knife, and set a fire to himself.
Many people on Moonshadow Island expressed regret over his death. They said he was mentally ill and had killed his wife and children before committing suicide, just like those sensitive, fragile, and brilliant geniuses—the incident was almost like an anecdote.
But Asai Narumi knew that this was not the case. The real truth behind his father's death was...
He was threatened by Isamu Kameyama, Hideo Kawashima, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, and Ken Nishimoto, who asked him to continue smuggling drugs and threatened to kill him, his wife, and children if he refused.
This was what he learned from the then village chief Guishan Yong three years ago after he returned to Yueying Island.
At that time, the guy mistakenly thought that he was returning to Moon Shadow Island for revenge. Under his questioning, he told him the truth tremblingly and then died of his own heart attack.
What did he do then?
He watched coldly as he struggled and fell on the piano, watched his lips turn purple, and watched him lose his life.
He just watched, watching the moonlight shine into the room from behind him, casting his shadow on Kameyama Isamu like the shadow of the god of death.
Only the moonlight knows what happened that day.
He decided then and there that he wanted revenge.
But the tragedy has already happened, who will answer his questions?
How involved was his own father, Keiji Aso, in the scheme? Was he involved willingly, or was he forced into it? If he decided to quit after his brother was born, why did he go on tour—bringing back drugs along the way—and return to Moon Shadow Island before returning home?
Those good qualities he had taught himself—loyalty, integrity, honesty—did he practice them himself?
He always told him to be a good person, Chengshi.
But Asai Narumi didn't understand if there was any hidden or unspoken meaning when he said this, such as:
Be a good person, Chengshi—because I’m not one anymore.
He didn't understand, he didn't know, he couldn't ask anymore -
Dead people can't answer any questions.
All the truth seemed to be buried forever with the fire, and he could no longer ask for definite answers to the questions he cared about.
Asai Narimi breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though these problems always troubled him, he still firmly planned his revenge.
But he didn't expect that when he was about to implement his plan, a detective suddenly came from Tokyo.
Although information is blocked on the island and most people do not know Kogoro Mori, Asai Narumi, who is used to collecting information on the Internet, knows him.
A famous detective who has suddenly appeared recently and solved several major cases in succession.
And the ones who came with him...
That girl.
Linxi.
She saw through all his emotions at a glance and offered to work with him.
"You must be confused, right? You must also have things you want to know, right?"
The girl with warm honey-colored eyes smiled and said, "I will help you solve your confusion and find the answer. In return, you need to do one thing for me..."
At that time, he thought it was some kind of business of selling his skills and body.
Unexpectedly, the girl gave him her trash picking tools.
"Please, doctor! Help me pick up the trash!"
Asai Narumi felt that his expression at that time must have been like this:
OvO?
Picking up trash?
Is this a price?
It wouldn't even take him half a day.
"Please." The girl thought he was reluctant and explained, "You should know about the Little Dolphin Association that's been doing activities on Moon Shadow Island recently. I want to pick up trash in exchange for merchandise."
"I really want that little dolphin hat. I gave mine to my sister, and I want one too, just like her."
"Is that all right, doctor?"
Asai Narimi: “…Okay.”
Having said that, what's wrong with that?
He had been lost for twelve years, and now there was someone full of confidence who wanted to lead him through the fog that had troubled him...
What's wrong with that?
He should have agreed happily.
But agreeing didn't mean he was going to give up on revenge.
The girl knew what he was thinking and stopped him from taking his revenge in a brutal way:
"Hey, why do you want to dirty your hands? Don't worry, I'm very skilled in my job, and I love to kill with someone else's knife."
"Just put this there..."
"Then just wait and see the results."
"To achieve one's goal, sometimes it's okay to use despicable means, isn't it?"
He took what the girl handed him.
"Who are you anyway?" he asked.
It's impossible for ordinary people to get this kind of thing.
The girl blinked and put her index finger to her lips.
So he nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The task the girl assigned to him was simple and could be easily accomplished with his status.
If this really could bring revenge... then that would be great.
"I'll help you get the hat." He said this at last, looked at the girl and waved with a smile, then turned and walked towards the moonlit path.
He looked at the girl's back and suddenly felt relaxed, as if a string that had been taut for a long time suddenly relaxed.
He thought, maybe he was infected by the girl's confidence and ease, but he couldn't explain it.
For ordinary people, sin, revenge, darkness, etc. are extremely heavy... But to her, they are just an interesting game, and the only meaning is to find fun in it.
As for those difficult and heavy parts, they are just obstacles before passing the level. No matter what, she can always get a good ending.
Asai Narumi took out the thing that Lin Xi handed him from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.
The thing was placed on the photo, like a standing hammer representing judgment.
…
Daylight has arrived.
The sunlight shone into the room through the curtains and onto Conan's eyelids, causing him to frown subconsciously and block the glaring sunlight with his hands.
He turned over and smelled a faint smell of disinfectant, then he suddenly woke up and realized that this was not the bed in Xiaolan's house where he usually slept.
He sat up and met the gaze of Haibara Ai who was holding the music sheet.
"Awake, Detective?"
The brown-haired girl, wearing a blue dolphin hat, easily picked up the quilt and drank the hot milk.
"Dr. Asai and Ms. Mori have cooked some delicious dishes together in the kitchen."
"If you don't wake up, the food will get cold, okay?"
