Chapter 298 Sinner "You have to be good."
Huihara Ai wanted to run to Lin Xi's bedside immediately and tell her the news.
But Sister Lin should have known it a long time ago, and she was the only one who was kept in the dark.
Humph, when I think about it this way, Sister Lin is really hateful!
However, Huihara Ai has another way to support Lin Xi.
As soon as the doctor came out, she ran back to the ward and gave Lin Xi a big hug.
Lin Xi: “……?”
The child's eyes were still red, but the tears had been wiped away, which was a good thing...but why did he stand in the corridor and then come back with such a weird expression on his face?
Five parts encouragement, three parts attachment, two parts anger and one part pity.
It gave Lin Xi goosebumps.
"Are you okay, Xiao Ai?" she asked solemnly.
"I'm fine, Sister Lin. You have to be fine too." Huibara Ai gave her a knowing look, but Lin Xi didn't receive her signal at all.
"I'm glad you're okay." Lin Xi stroked the top of her head. "The doctor said I need to observe for another day. But there's nothing in the hospital, so it's a bit boring. Ai, can you help me get the book I haven't finished? It's on the bookshelf at Kudo's house, third column, fifth row, uh... thirteenth from the left."
"Oh." Haibara Ai was both angry and amused.
She had just rushed from Tokyo's Beika-cho to Yokohama's Tanashita-cho, and now Lin Xi asked her to run back to get the book - wasn't this just a hassle?
However, Haibara Ai also knew that this was an excuse to get her away, so she nodded.
"You have to take care of yourself." Haibara Ai grabbed her hand and said seriously.
You must be well - no matter who you are, no matter what you have done before, or what you will do in the future, I hope so.
Lin Xi lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze.
"I will."
.
Kudo House.
Conan took out the broken CD box and removed the bug.
He turned on the dormant eavesdropping device and connected it with the eavesdropping software on his computer. The screen soon displayed the words "CONNECTING..."
"LOADING..."
『LOADING PLETED (Loading successful)...』
An audio file is successfully loaded into the software.
Conan dragged the progress bar, skipping the conversation he heard in the cabinet before, and directly entered the voice after Lin Xi was held hostage by Gin.
There was a burst of dense gunfire, a few louder gunshots, the sound of car engines, the sound of tires rubbing, and a few cat meows mixed in the chaos.
It's coconut.
Conan's heart was in turmoil. He glanced back at the white cat, who had been temporarily staying at the Kudo family's house for the past two days. What was Coconut doing then? Perhaps Coconut knew the Organization's people better than he did. She'd jump onto Vodka and Gin's laps, and they wouldn't chase her away, just like Gin wouldn't throw away the little figurine in front of his Porsche window.
Meow.
There was another meow, and then a clear, lively, and enthusiastic voice:
"Long time no see, Vodka!"
"Punch!" Vodka's voice was a little distorted, but you could tell he was very happy.
Conan slowly closed his eyes.
The truth was out. The dust had settled. He no longer had to speculate about Lin Xi's identity.
Lin Xi is the organizer. Lin Xi is Punch.
She and Gin are the real allies...and his trust and reliance on her all along were all wishful thinking.
What about Haibara Ai? Haha, Haibara Ai lives with her, so she probably already knows her identity. She's part of the organization, and Punch is her guardian. Now she and her guardian are going back to help the organization, what's impossible? She developed the drug that shrinks him! I'm afraid every time he discusses things with her about the organization, they laugh at him behind his back. What do they think of him? A test subject who's being watched under their noses and ready to provide experimental data at any time?
He was the only one kept in the dark.
Only he...
Conan sniffed.
I already know the truth, I already know that Lin Xi is a member of that evil organization, why... am I still so sad?
Sister Lin...
He reached out and wiped away his tears.
Fortunately, he was the only one in the room. His father and mother went to Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture to investigate Kiichiro Numabuchi's last case, and no one saw him crying.
□□No matter what he was thinking, he still faithfully played the audio along with the progress bar.
"Why are you here? Your mission is also related to Itakura Taku... sizzle..."
"...My mission target is related to Itakura Taku. Oh, and where's the CD you got? The one inside is fake, it has a transmitter... Zizi... We need to throw this away... Zizi..."
"My target accidentally discovered Itakura Taku's disappearance through some channels... Zizi... He flipped through Itakura Taku's diary and found out that Itakura Taku is related to us..."
"Zizizi... I'll tell you the first time I find him."
Mission objective?
Are you referring to him?
Am I really an experimental subject?
It turned out that what Haibara Ai said when she gave him the short-acting medicine was not a lie... It was because there was no way to confirm the efficacy that she let him take it and observe his reaction.
"When will you be back?"
Ah, this is... Gin's voice.
Talking to Sister Lin in this tone and being willing to act with Sister Lin at the subway station was completely different from what he thought Gin was.
Although his words were simple and plain, they were much softer than what Conan heard on the day he was fed the medicine.
Then he realized in despair that not only was Coconut more familiar with Gin than he was, but Sister Lin was probably also much more familiar with Gin than he was.
This inexplicable sadness quickly turned into anger of being deceived and betrayed when he heard Lin Xi's answer.
"Well... that depends on when my target realizes I'm a bad guy." When Sister Lin used Punch's voice, her voice was always lively and smiling, like a playful girl, but she said such cruel words in this voice.
"He trusts me too much, so I feel embarrassed to take action against him... sizzle... But, it should be soon."
"Sigh... If it's slow, it'll be a month. If it's fast, it'll be a week~"
A week? That was the night of July 24th, and today was July 27th. Less than a week, three days, and I knew her identity.
Was this unexpected to her?
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Xi had indeed given him a lot of hints.
“I don’t like the police,” she said in the forest of Gunma Prefecture.
As members of a criminal organization, they certainly don't like the police.
"Not taking action against ordinary people who are unaware of the situation is a principle that the organization has always adhered to." She said this when investigating the disappearance of Itakura Taku.
If she was not a member of the organization, how would she know what the organization’s principles were?
These are all flaws... He hadn't noticed them until now because he subconsciously didn't consider this option.
It wasn't until Kudo Yusaku, an outsider, reminded him that he came to his senses.
Conan turned off the audio.
There's no point in listening any further.
He sent a text message to Kudo Yusaku, telling him that Lin Xi was Punch.
Then, while still gasping for breath, she wiped away her tears with a tissue.
However, just when he wanted to be alone for a while, the doorbell rang.
The sound of ding-dong reached his ears.
who?
Who would come to Kudo's house at this time?
Or when the corners of his eyes were wiped red by the tissue.
He got up slowly, brought a stool, and took a look out the peephole.
It just so happened that the person outside the door was also looking through the peephole. From an upwards-looking to a downwards-looking angle, Conan met a pair of dark green eyes.
……who?
Who is this man with a knitted hat and fierce eyes?
Conan instinctively felt alert, but he soon saw Judy Stelling standing next to the man.
FBI?
Oh, right, it’s the FBI…
So Sister Lin also has contact with the FBI. Does the FBI know she is Punch?
Conan's emotionally shaken brain began to function again.
What is the FBI doing here now?
Anyway, you can't act too weird right now... like standing by the door and not opening it.
He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Kudo Yusaku, telling him that the FBI had come to Kudo's house, while opening the door.
"Little Detective." Judy's expression was serious. "Something big happened... What happened to your eyes?"
Conan rubbed the corner of his eye.
"It was so boring being alone, I accidentally fell asleep." He lied, which would be exposed in a moment. "Why did you come here so suddenly?"
He turned sideways and several FBI agents filed in.
"Where is Mr. Kudo? Where is Miss Haibara?" Judy asked.
So Conan told her that his father went to Nagano Prefecture, and that Haibara Ai was in Yokohama taking care of the fainted Miss Lin.
"Ms. Lin fainted at the crime scene? Ah, this is troublesome." Judy frowned, "The situation has changed. We must take you away immediately."
"…What happened?"
"You know we came to Japan secretly, right? I'm on a work visa, and these people are on tourist visas," Judy said. "Our investigation into the organization is against procedure."
"According to the relationship between the FBI and the Japanese, they would have turned a blind eye even if we were discovered. Suddenly, the Japanese police went crazy and kept pursuing us. We reported this to headquarters, but the only response was to evacuate as soon as possible, with no room for negotiation."
"Something must have happened in Japan... We have to leave today, and the plane tickets have been bought." Judy said, "Ms. Lin is very smart and can protect herself, but no matter what, we have to take Miss Huiyuan away... Ah."
The doorbell rang again.
Judy and Shuichi Akai looked at each other, and Judy took the initiative to glance into the cat's eye.
"Speak of the devil." She opened the door.
It's Haibara Ai.
Facing such a large group of people, she raised an eyebrow: "What happened?"
"You've come just in time, Miss Huibara." Judy repeated what she had just explained to Conan, "You don't need to bring anything, just go, but hurry."
Haibara Ai nodded, not seeming too surprised.
"I see. I'll just grab a book and go."
