Chapter 120 Until the Sea Turns Blue - Rendezvous Please continue your performance,...
After receiving the "gift", Lin Xi did not rush to look at the sea, but turned to look at the doctor in black.
She took out her cell phone and turned on the recording.
Before that, she had Noah hack into Nishimoto Ken's phone and used Nishimoto Ken's identity to send messages to Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo, asking them to meet at Nishimoto Ken's home;
I also recorded the audio when they had conflicts and sent it to myself.
Then clean up all traces.
As soon as Noah found her, she gave it a job, but Noah gladly accepted it——
A lot of things happened in the past five years, which made AI understand what it feels like to "miss".
As for helping Lin Xi do so-called "illegal" things, AI had no problem accepting it.
AI has its own moral values and is a staunch supporter of consequential justice.
Ken Nishimoto's frightened voice, Tatsuji Kuroiwa's roar, and Hideo Kawashima's forced calm were all recorded clearly. As the recording progressed, the secret that had been buried for many years was finally revealed.
Asai Narimi's confusion was finally resolved:
His father did not die from murder due to uneven distribution of spoils, but died from a tragedy caused by his unwillingness to go along with the corruption.
Knowing this, it was as if a huge rock had fallen from Asai Narimi's heart, making a dull echo in his desolate heart.
At this moment, under the blowing sea breeze, he felt mixed emotions, wanted to cry but laughed instead:
It's really black humor. I was taught to be a righteous person since I was a child, but I am about to become a murderer and be imprisoned.
I’m so sorry…
He didn't want this either.
"What on earth are you thinking about?"
Lin Xi's voice came from beside him, with a hint of curiosity, "Doctor, at this point, do you still want to send yourself to jail?"
"You didn't do anything, why would you want to go to that kind of place?"
"Is prison food delicious?"
Asai Narumi turned his head to look at the girl.
Why can she always see through other people's thoughts?
Being with someone like this is like being naked, with no secrets...
But how could he not have done anything? He still remembered what happened that night:
Lin Xi handed him the medicine bottle and asked him to replace the medicine that Xi Benjian usually took.
"This is a drug that can cause insanity," the girl said, looking down. "It was created by our company's director of drug development." (Note 1)
Lin Xi grabbed his wrist.
A faint, playful sarcasm, mixed with a strange sympathy, appeared on her face, and her tone was not gentle:
"I gave you that medicine, didn't I?"
"Doctor, could it be that you possess the potential to be a scapegoat, full of devotion, feeling you can take responsibility for things you haven't done?"
Every word went straight to Asai Narumi's heart.
He didn't say anything, just taking it as his agreement.
They are accomplices.
But the girl still has a long way to go. She is younger than him and has more hope than him...
Lin Xi looked at him like this and suddenly laughed out loud.
Asai Narumi looked at her in confusion.
"I'm not saying anything, doctor, but you don't really think there are drugs in this world that cannot be detected, do you?" The girl's expression was strange, and Asai Narumi couldn't tell whether she was serious or joking.
All his attention was focused on what Lin Xi said:
"...What do you mean, Miss Lin?"
Lin Xi released his wrist and patted his shoulder:
"Do you think I would give you that kind of vicious and deadly medicine? Or do you really believe that there is a pharmaceutical company behind me? How is that possible? Hahahaha."
"The medicine I gave you last night was fake medicine made from starch."
Asai Narumi:? ? !
Doudou eyes.gif
Huh?? It's fake medicine?!
The expression on the black-clad doctor's face turned into helplessness.
Miss Lin...you really have a bad taste!
"But..." Lin Xi changed the subject, "If you really want to go to jail, you can go in and experience it."
Asai Narimi looked up at the sky.
If you are not really guilty, who would go to a place like prison?
"S-So," he stuttered, a rare occurrence. "Nishimoto Ken invited Kawashima and Kuroiwa to his house, then killed Kuroiwa and then committed suicide. Was that all... a coincidence?"
"Hush..." Lin Xi raised her index finger to cover her lips. "That's another secret. Even if we take a step back, couldn't God just be so fed up with seeing these villains acting so arrogantly that he engineered a series of coincidences to have the God of Death take them away?"
Conan is here, how can this not be considered a kind of Death is coming?
She wasn't lying.
Asai Narumi:.
The coincidence the girl was talking about was exactly what he had hoped for:
There exists a supreme god who punishes evil and eliminates all the evildoers in the world...
But he has been in despair for so long, and those bastards are still alive and well, which shows that kind of god does not exist at all.
...Not necessarily.
If someone possesses absolute initiative, strength, and unwavering self-confidence, does that make them, in a sense, also gods who can do anything?
His thoughts wandered for a moment, then fell back on the girl beside him.
"...I am not a Catholic, Ms. Lin."
"Of course, I know that Catholics don't let themselves go to prison of their own accord."
Lin Xi reached into the lining on the chest of his coat and found a dolphin hat above the fake chest.
She put the hat on her head with satisfaction. "It's a pleasure to work with you, doctor. Thank you for bringing me here. It's really beautiful here."
She spoke lightly, turned around and found a suitable distance, took out a Polaroid camera that she had taken out from somewhere, and pressed the shutter button before Asai Narumi could react.
ah.
Asai Narumi blinked.
Was secretly photographed.
But he quickly smiled and stretched out his hand:
"Ms. Lin, let me take a picture for you too."
So the two Polaroids were quickly spit out——
Although they were still white and undeveloped, Asai Narimi had already imagined their contents in his mind:
One picture shows herself dressed in black standing in the white ruins, and the other shows a girl wearing a dolphin hat standing in front of the vast ocean with a smile.
Lin Xi put the photo in his pocket. Before leaving, he suddenly seemed to think of something. The corners of his lips curled up in an interesting arc. He turned around and added, "Doctor, what I just said was not a joke, right?"
"If you have the opportunity to go to prison, don't refuse it. It's a good experience to go in and experience it. It will be very interesting."
"I haven't eaten prison food yet, so I'm curious about what it tastes like. I heard Japanese prisons have pretty good benefits."
Asai Narumi:......
He really couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or a joke.
It sounds full of Lin Xi's seriousness mixed with playfulness.
Also, Ms. Lin, could you please stop being curious about everything?
I always feel that based on Lin Xi's personality, if he is curious about what prison food tastes like, one day he will get himself in to try it and satisfy his curiosity!
Don’t do that kind of thing!
"Okay." He said helplessly, "I'll keep an eye on it, Miss Lin."
Although he didn't know what he should pay attention to, but since Lin Xi said it, why not pay attention to it first?
…
Haibara Ai was flipping through her phone boredly.
Conan beside her kept chattering: "So, you really don't think that doctor is a member of the organization?"
Huiyuan sighed, "I've already told you that the organization won't commit such a useless murder, and certainly won't admit to being the murderer after the murder..."
That's something an ordinary murderer would do.
Conan: "But when you felt the organization's aura, the doctor was there too, right? Maybe..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Haibara Ai's face turned visibly paler again, and she pulled the brim of the dolphin hat on her head even lower.
...People from the organization are nearby!
Conan's face was serious.
He looked ahead and saw two figures, one yellow and one brown, slowly walking towards them along the road.
"Ai!" The yellow figure waved his arms and greeted them with a smile.
It’s Lin Xi.
When Haibara Ai heard her voice, the cold fear that had been crawling through her body suddenly disappeared, her body stopped shaking, and her face no longer turned pale.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed towards Lin Xi with a quick step, saying with the joy of a little girl, "Sister Lin!"
Conan, who was standing next to him, was stunned.
...Is Sister Lin some kind of panacea? Would the official setting that makes Haibara tremble when she feels the breath of an organization member be invalidated?
Lin Xi opened his arms with a smile, ready to hug the little girl who rushed over.
However, Haibara Ai braked the car just when she was about to get in front of her.
She turned her head and looked suspiciously at Toru Amuro beside Lin Xi.
Who is this person?
Standing so close to Sister Lin.
Sister Lin was "missing" for a whole night and a whole day. Could it be that she was with this guy the whole time?
...No, wait a minute.
Did Sister Lin change into new clothes?
Haibara Ai's pupils trembled.
Sister Lin didn’t take anything with her when she left!
When I came back, all my clothes were changed!
And standing next to a man!!!
Her eyes immediately turned hostile.
Strange man, leave Sister Lin immediately, right now!
The strange man, Amuro, undercover agent, Toru, blinked innocently.
He is really handsome.
Blonde hair, a healthy complexion between wheat and chocolate, deep eyebrows and eyes with foreign features, and a body that looks very strong -
——That won’t work either! Huiyuan Ai shook her head.
This is a matter of principle!
My own sister has been unlucky all the time because she met a scumbag. It shows that being handsome and healthy is useless!
With the previous experience as a lesson, this time, she must protect Sister Lin from being harmed by the bad man!
Looking at Ai Haibara who seemed to have a flame burning behind her, Conan behind her:
?
Why is this guy suddenly so motivated?
"Sister Lin." Huihara Ai grabbed the hem of Lin Xi's skirt.
Lin Xi touched her little dolphin hat with a smile: "Did you miss me, Xiao Ai? Did you eat well? I'll take you to eat something delicious tonight, okay?"
"Is this uncle coming too?" Haibara Ai obediently let Lin Xi take her hand and stood between the two of them, cleverly separating Lin Xi and Amuro Toru.
Toru Amuro maintained a polite smile:?
Why was this little girl suddenly so hostile towards him?
Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, this uncle is here too." Lin Xi was overjoyed.
Xiao Ai is so cute. You can immediately see through this guy's mature heart through his youthful appearance.
Bourbon, Bourbon, you are old enough to be called uncle when you walk on the street!
Amuro is twenty-nine years old this year. Because of his young and handsome appearance, no one has ever called him uncle. Toru:
He glanced at Lin Xi, who was smiling teasingly beside him, and also put on a smile:
"Ms. Lin, is this your sister?"
"If so, you should call me brother."
Haha, you were calling me Brother Tou very smoothly last night, why don’t you call me that now?
Ai Haibara glared at Toru Amuro with sharp eyes.
Call him brother? This guy is dreaming!
Also, why should she call this guy brother if she is Sister Lin's younger sister?
Sister Lin wouldn’t really have disappeared to go on a date, right?
Could it be that...
Is she really going to have a brother-in-law again?
"I don't want it." She turned her head away, clearly expressing her refusal.
"Ah, she's my sister, but..." Lin Xi glanced at Xiao Ai and noticed that she didn't seem to be in a good mood: "She seems to have some misunderstandings about you and doesn't like you very much."
As she said this, she looked at Amuro Toru cunningly:
"You didn't do anything inappropriate in front of her, did you?"
The same sentence has different meanings when heard by two people.
Amuro Toru thought Lin Xi was referring to whether he had accidentally revealed his "Bourbon" side in front of her sister;
But Haibara Ai thought that Lin Xi was referring to whether Amuro Toru had accidentally done something excessive or inappropriate for children with Lin Xi in front of her and was seen by her.
Haibara Ai: My fists are hard.
Conan behind him:?!
Did he see it wrong?
Why is Huiyuan starting to look murderous?
Amuro-san is a friendly force!
Although he's a relatively unknown detective, he's a pretty good guy. He even helped them solve the Yokohama Ocean Park bombing incident last time. Furthermore, Hattori Heiji has a pretty high opinion of him!
"Ahahaha, Sister Lin..." Conan stepped forward and tried to change the subject: "Sister Xiaolan and Uncle Maori have gone to the dock with the police from the inland. Do you want to go and see?"
Conan knows very well what can best attract Lin Xi's attention.
It's just lively.
Sister Lin must be very interested in things like the drug factory being closed down and gang members being arrested by the police.
As expected, Lin Xi showed a look of great interest:
"What? Are the police coming over there? What happened?"
Toru Amuro looked at her sideways.
The pretending is quite similar.
The right amount of curiosity and doubt perfectly fits the identity of a spectator...
If Toru Amuro hadn't been with her the whole night and knew that the two of them were the main reasons for the current situation, she would really believe that she had nothing to do with this matter.
Now...
respect.
Please continue your performance, Director Lin.
Conan glanced at Toru Amuro and told Lin Xi the whole story.
Of course, the perspective used is that of "the little devil following the famous detective", and the fact that Kawashima Hideo initially wanted to identify Lin Xi as the suspect is also concealed.
There are outsiders here, so it’s better to say less things that may cause misunderstanding.
"You mean, they all had tattoos of that shape on their bodies?" Lin Xi raised his eyebrows.
"Kawashima Hideo and Kuroiwa Tatsuji," Conan nodded, "and of course some of the factory workers also have them."
"I'm not saying anything," Lin Xi complained, "don't you have to check your tattoos when you take the civil service exam?"
Are these two candidates for village chief? They should be considered civil servants, right?
Why do you still tattoo weird things on your body?
Toru Amuro:......
Sorry, I really don’t need it. (Note 2)
Just avoid getting the tattoo in overly conspicuous places, such as your forearms, neck, ankles, and other places that may be exposed.
Conan looked at Lin Xi with crescent eyes: Is this the point?
Shouldn’t the point be that these people have the same tattoos as the men in black we met in Yokohama?
Doesn’t this mean that those people belong to the same organization!
Sister Lin, why is your focus still so unique?
"Also, even though the doctor turned himself in, no one believed him. They thought the incident was an accident and had nothing to do with the doctor."
Conan recalled the scene of Asai Narimi gently carrying him back home last night, and added, "I don't believe it either."
Thinking back to the doctor's back as he walked out after talking to the old policeman, Conan wondered if he should have held him back at that time.
I always feel that if I don't hold him back, he will kill himself in the impulse of self-destruction...
For example, ending one's life in a fire.
Conan shook his head.
Strange, why did such a picture appear in his mind just now? Obviously, it was something he had never experienced before.
"Didn't you just say he gave the evidence to the police? We'll know if we take it back for testing." Lin Xi said happily, "Nishimoto Ken hasn't performed an autopsy yet. There's no such thing as a drug that kills without being seen. No matter what drug it is, it will naturally leave traces after use."
Conan and Haibara Ai looked at each other.
Is there no drug that kills people invisibly?
That's not necessarily the case.
Isn’t APTX4869 one of them?
However, what Lin Xi said made sense - there were not many drugs like APTX4869 in the world, and only a mysterious and powerful place like the organization could produce similar drugs. Ordinary doctors on Yueying Island would definitely not be able to get it.
Conan looked at Lin Xi: "Sister Lin, do you think this was an accident or..."
Lin Xi waved his hand: "What? It must have been an accident. There are so many gods in Japan. What if one of them passed by and took a dislike to these bad guys and cursed them to kill each other?"
Conan:
He is a materialist fighter...
I don't believe in those supernatural things.
Sister Lin just likes to speak freely.
To some extent, she and the uncle really look alike...
Conan suddenly realized.
No wonder she and the uncle get along so well!
It turns out to be a mutual attraction between two adults who talk nonsense!
"Oh, Xiao Ke, you're thinking about bad things again. Please stop thinking about it."
Lin Xi picked him up, but Haibara Ai beside her pulled the corner of her clothes in dissatisfaction, so she naturally handed him to Amuro next to her and picked up Ai.
Toru Amuro took it naturally, and paused strangely after realizing what he was doing.
Married and divorced, with two kids, playing on a deserted island with a young man...
No, wait, what are you thinking about, Rei Furuya!!
Amuro Toru covered his head in horror.
And why are they divorced? Wouldn’t that make him a mistress?
Fortunately, he had dark skin and Lin Xi's attention was all on Xiao Ai, so no one noticed his constantly changing expression.
They walked forward, Huiyuan was held in his arms, and whispered in Linxi's ear:
"Sister Lin, who is that guy?"
"He's an amateur detective on tour."
Lin Xi also responded in a low voice, although he had already caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that the two people beside him, one big and one small, had pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
In order to take care of Conan and make it easier for him to eavesdrop, Toru Amuro even let him lean on his other shoulder.
Haibara Ai:?
Amateur detective?
She hated detectives.
"So, did Sister Lin go out at night just to be with him?"
"Yeah, I guess so." Lin Xi smiled sheepishly and gestured to Huiyuan Ai to look at her hat. "I went to the beach to pick up trash last night and happened to run into Amuro-kun. Look, I changed into a cute dolphin hat. It's the same style as the one I gave you."
Haibara Ai:?
Picking up trash late at night?
This... doesn't look fake.
It is consistent with Sister Lin’s usual mental state.
She looked at the blond detective next to her.
It turns out that this guy looks quite normal on the outside, but actually he is in the same mental state as Sister Lin?
Two people were picking up trash on the coast late at night, and then suddenly bumped into each other. This scene... is so beautiful just to think about.
Somehow, after knowing that this guy was of the same clan as Sister Lin, Haibara Ai inexplicably felt much more favorable towards Amuro Toru.
It turns out that you are not normal either.
And... Haibara Ai adjusted her little hat.
Did Sister Lin "disappear" for a whole night just to exchange the same hat with her?
I decided to put it in my collection cabinet and put it together with her bag.
The four of them walked towards the pier - to be precise, two adults were walking, each holding a child.
The further they walked, the more people there were on the road.
These people were there to watch the police detain gang members.
————
(Note 1: I wonder if anyone still remembers that among the pile of drugs that Madera stuffed into Lin Xi, there was one that could cause mental disorder.)
(Note 2: Are there any requirements for tattoos for Japanese civil servants? I couldn't find any information online, so this is made up.)
