Chapter 121 Until the Sea Turns Blue - Client This is fair, isn't it...
When they finally arrived at the dock, the four found that there were more people here than just onlookers.
Masato Shimizu and his team set up a simple stage to conduct political propaganda and canvass for votes - although there was actually no need for canvassing - the other two candidates competing with him were either defeated or imprisoned. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be the next village chief.
"Please rest assured! We will definitely shut down those factories that pollute our fishermen's fishing grounds and eradicate the pollution at its source!"
Shimizu Masato, with a serious expression, took the microphone and delivered a passionate speech, "The factories will disappear, the pollution will disappear. With everyone's joint efforts, our clean Moon Shadow Island will definitely return!"
The tent set up by the Little Dolphin Association today was not far from the podium, and several young people were listening quietly.
"Zhao Nan, I remember you said that you also grew up on Yueying Island, right?" The girl with the little dolphin armband suddenly spoke.
Akio Koyama was slightly startled when she called his name.
"Ah, yes."
"Then I think you could talk to Mr. Qingshui," the girl suggested lively. "Your major happens to be related to pollution control. Maybe Moon Shadow Island needs you right now!"
Koyama Akio laughed: "How can it be that simple..."
"You won't know unless you try," the girl said with a smile. "I see you've been unhappy ever since we were invited here. Is it because of the pollution here?"
"In that case, let's give it a try. It just so happens that so many things have suddenly happened here, and Mr. Shimizu seems to be overwhelmed..."
"Um, please tell me..." They were chatting when a girl with long black hair suddenly came to the stall of the Little Dolphin Association.
"Ah, I'm here! Are you joining our event?"
The girl hurriedly turned around and faced the person who came.
Mao Lilan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Excuse me, I want to learn about your association and ask about the requirements for joining..."
"Hey." The girl's eyes lit up, "Do you want to become our new member?"
"……Um."
Mao Lilan stared at the pile of dolphin peripherals on the stall, wondering what she was thinking.
"Okay, okay," the girl said happily, "Welcome! Please come over here, I'll give you a detailed introduction..."
"Miss Lan!"
Lin Xi's voice came from behind.
Mao Lilan turned around in surprise: "Ms. Lin! You are finally back! Xiao Ai and Conan said that you went to watch the sunrise. How was it? Was the sunrise beautiful this morning?"
Lin Xi: “…”
She kept smiling: "It looks good, especially good-looking."
Is this Ai's excuse for her "disappearance"? Luckily it's a sunny day, otherwise it would be really hard to explain it.
When is the sunrise? She should be fast asleep in bed at that time!
Maybe I watched the sunrise in my dream.
The other three people who knew the truth all looked up at the sky, the ground, and their toes tacitly.
In fact, everyone was trying to hold back their laughter.
Lin Xi even heard Conan's gasping sounds due to his poor acting skills.
Lin Xi:.
As expected, secrets cannot be known by too many people.
Otherwise, it will be doubly embarrassing when you try to cover up the lie.
Conan laughed enough, looked up, and saw that Mouri Ran was constantly glancing at the Little Dolphin Association's booth. Suddenly, he remembered something.
He blushed, broke free from Amuro Toru's arms, and pulled Xiaolan aside.
"Sister Xiaolan, come with me!"
After avoiding everyone's sight, he shyly took out the doll he had bought by picking up trash last night from his shoulder bag and handed it to Xiaolan.
"Sister Xiaolan. This is the new doll I changed...it's different from the one I had last night."
To hide his blush, he pushed up the frame and said, "This one is for you. I'll keep the other one for myself."
In this way... we can become a couple, right?
Xiaolan took the doll and looked at the boy in a daze with an embarrassed look on his face.
It really looks like Shinichi...
Even the fact that they insist on completing what they want to do and become embarrassed easily is similar.
She smiled, and that gentle smile made Conan's face heat up a few degrees.
"Thank you, Conan,"
She held the little dolphin doll lovingly in her hand and held Conan's hand with the other.
"Conan, can we go to the sea together next time?"
Conan no longer knew what she was talking about.
He nodded blankly.
He walked with Ran Maori holding his hand, and felt as if he was floating in warm water, his whole body warm.
This state continued until the moment he saw Haibara's teasing look.
Although Huiyuan Ai didn't speak, her eyes clearly said:
Wow, they are indeed childhood sweethearts.
Conan's half-moon eyes:
Please, isn’t it the same for Sister Lin?
He now understood that most of the garbage picked up by the doctor was replaced with the dolphin hat on Sister Lin's head.
By the way, speaking of Sister Lin, when can he find a time to be alone with her and ask her properly?
I always feel that there are always a lot of people around Sister Lin, and there is no chance for her to be alone!
Mr. Amuro is one of them...
Conan scanned the area and was speechless to find that Lin Xi was actually talking to someone else again.
That other person turned out to be Masato Shimizu who had just stepped down from the podium.
How to put it, someone being popular may mean that he or she is very popular with the opposite sex.
And the reason why Sister Lin is popular... is that Conan always feels that she is like a fire burning in the night. All animals that are attracted to light will be attracted to her involuntarily, no matter whether they are male or female, old or young, kind and just or chaotic and evil, ordinary people, gangsters, detectives or politicians.
Moreover, Lin Xi, who has maxed out his social skills, can always get along well with them without any sense of incongruity.
Just like she is standing with Shimizu Masato now, smiling and talking. If other people saw this scene, they might think they knew each other before, but Conan, who is familiar with Lin Xi, knows that Sister Lin is also like this with people she just met.
You can't judge how familiar Sister Lin is with someone she knows based on appearance alone.
You will be cheated.
However, why did Masato Shimizu go to find Sister Lin?
One is a politician who is full of ambition and is about to become the village chief, and the other is a tourist who comes here for a few days and then leaves...
Is it really reasonable for two people who have no connection like this to stand together and have a good conversation?
And what about Toru Amuro? Why is he gone too?
Could it be that Sister Lin has also been infected with the habit of suddenly disappearing?
Conan scratched his head in confusion.
.
Lin Xi did have a smile on her face.
But the words that came out of her mouth were very cold and merciless.
"So that's why you came to thank me? That's not necessary, because I didn't help you at all this time."
"The person you should really thank is Dr. Asai, right? He's helped you solve so many problems, you should at least treat him to a meal?" Lin Xi said with a smile, seemingly oblivious to the cold sweat dripping from the man's forehead. "Even if it's prison food, it's still food, isn't it?"
"Ahahaha...you're joking."
Masato Shimizu, who had just been on the stage confidently and enthusiastically saying that he would make Tsukikage Island great again, now lowered his head, looking as if he was being scolded and couldn't raise his head.
But faced with the girl's sarcasm, he really had nothing to say and could only act like a ruthless fool.
There's nothing we can do about it. It's his fault in this matter.
At the same time, he was also the biggest beneficiary of this incident - after enduring for three years, his competitors were either killed or imprisoned, and soon the position of village chief was his.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead. "But I still have to thank you, thank you so much... I've seen Cheng Shi grow up. He told me that thanks to you, he didn't become a criminal suspect and was taken away..."
Lin Xi suddenly moved closer to him, and her tone became lower: "Really?"
The girl's words were still tinged with laughter, but to Shimizu Masato's ears, they were like poisoned knives, piercing his heart. "Isn't it that he wasn't taken away as a suspect that surprised you the most?"
"After all, it was you who sent the letter of request to Maori Kogoro, right?"
"'Mysterious client', Mr. Shimizu Masato?"
This time, Shimizu Masato really broke out in a cold sweat.
How did she know?
“I…I…”
He stammered, unable to speak.
"Let me help you recall."
Lin Xi slowly placed her hand on his shoulder. It looked as if she was worried that the candidate was too tired after his speech, so she came to support him. Only Shimizu Masato himself knew that the hand was only a few inches away from his neck.
"You accidentally discovered that the new female doctor on the island looked very similar to Aso Keiji's sickly youngest son. As an old acquaintance of Aso Keiji, you had also seen his youngest son before and knew what he looked like."
"You were suspicious but unsure, so you just observed him. Not long after he arrived, Kameyama Isamu inexplicably collapsed on the piano and died."
"At that time, you were shocked and secretly delighted... because if Kameyama Isamu had lived, it would have been highly unlikely that you would have become village chief."
"So you confessed your identity to the doctor and asked him about his relationship with Keiji Aso."
"After suddenly receiving the vast amount of truth from Kameyama Yong, the doctor was in shock. And then, you, someone who knew his father, happened to appear beside him. Naturally, he told you about his anger and desire for revenge."
"What were you thinking when you heard that his targets of revenge were Kawashima Hideo, Nishimoto Ken, and Kuroiwa Tatsuji—all three of whom, coincidentally, were your political enemies?"
"Let me tell you, Mr. Qingshui--" Lin Xi's finger casually pointed at his throat, making him swallow hard.
"—You were shocked and saddened, at least on the surface, right? But at the same time, you were secretly delighted. Because you knew that the murder of your father and mother was a blood feud that could only be avenged with blood. And these people, with their utterly tainted morals and drug dealing, were even less considerate of the island residents than you were and completely unworthy of sympathy. So, what was the harm in letting them die at the hands of the doctor?"
"This way you can hide away nicely while still enjoying the fruits of his labor. As long as he succeeds in his revenge, won't the position of village chief be yours?"
"But..." Lin Xi pulled her hand away again, "You still have some shaky morals in your heart that prevent you from watching this happen. So, you watched silently and coldly as the doctor fell deeper and deeper into hatred, even encouraging him to seek revenge. And when the full moon night was approaching, you sent a letter to Mr. Maori like a schizophrenic."
Looking at Qing Shuizhengren who dared not to breathe, Lin Xi smiled:
"Why are you so nervous, Mr. Shimizu? I'm just helping you recall your own journey."
Her hand reached around to the front and naturally straightened Shimizu Masato's collar.
"Thanks to your morality, it saved at least three people." Lin Xi said.
Three people, including the still-living Kuroiwa Tatsuji, the self-destructive Asai Narimi, and...
Now standing in front of Lin Xi is Masato Shimizu.
Out of kindness—although it was probably hypocrisy—Shimizu Masato handed over the letter of commission, summoned Lin Xi to the island, and saved the doctor.
And Lin Xi, out of kindness - although she never thought it was kindness, if she were asked to describe it, she would curl her lips and use the word "mercy" to describe it, which means the strong let go of the weak - spared the trembling Shimizu Masato.
That's fair, isn't it?
It is in line with the principles of fair play and equal exchange that she has always adhered to.
