Chapter 107 Until the Sea Turns Blue - She Always Threatens Others in Deals
The figure carrying the victim in the moonlight was none other than Asai Narimi.
She was wearing the same high ponytail and a high-necked black dress as Lin Xi had seen her earlier.
At this moment, she was looking at Lin Xi with her deep blue eyes, as if waiting for an answer.
Lin Xi... Lin Xi tried so hard to keep a straight expression.
When she was Punch and was domineering in the dungeon five years ago... No, when she was at the top of the world, she had never heard such threatening words.
She was always the one threatening others.
Now, five years later, she's suddenly become a powerless female college student, threatened by a suspected murderer. What a contrast...
It feels very novel.
"You misunderstood." Lin Xi raised the garbage bag and garbage tongs in his hand, "I was really just passing by."
"But now that I've been bumped into, there's nothing I can do, right?"
Lin Xi walked closer while speaking.
Seeing the girl walk in, Asai Narumi subconsciously took a step back.
Then a strange scene appeared on the coast:
The party that should be stronger is retreating, while the party that seems weaker is approaching with a strong attitude.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, silently shedding its light to the silent audience.
"As you said, I have now stumbled upon the crime scene of a 'dangerous murderer.'"
Lin Xi raised her head and looked at Asai Chengmi with a smile. With a hint of curiosity, she asked, "What will you do to me now, Miss Asai...oh, maybe I should call you Mr. Asai?"
The first time Lin Xi saw the doctor in black in the corridor, his information automatically popped up on the system.
Asai Narimi: Originally named Asai Narimi, he was the second son of Keiji Aso. Due to his frail health, he was sent to Tokyo and raised there. He is currently the only surviving member of the Aso family.
A very short introduction, in line with the system's usual concise style.
The key word is "son" -
Although the doctor in black looks like a girl, his gender is undoubtedly male.
This made Lin Xi, who was very good at dressing up as a man, feel excited about meeting someone like her.
He was the only one to survive, changing his name and returning to his birth island many years later...
This setting is obviously the template for the protagonist!
So interesting.
Asai Narumi looked at the girl solemnly as she got closer.
From the moment Kameyama Isamu died on the piano three years ago, he had felt that the growing desire for revenge in his heart was like a fire that was getting more and more intense, and from the moment it ignited, it could never be extinguished.
Isamu Kameyama, Hideo Kawashima, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, Ken Nishimoto...
He will not let any of these people go.
But he didn't expect that he would be interrupted just when he took the first step and before he even started - the person on his shoulders was still alive, and he originally planned to push him into the sea and drown him.
Now the girl approached him with the curiosity of a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, but he froze in place, unable to move or make any response.
She seemed completely unaware of the danger.
Or does she think that he is only here for revenge and will not attack an innocent person like her?
After all, judging from the fact that she accurately called out his gender and the name of the person she was going to kill next, the girl already knew exactly who he was and what he was going to do.
"Ms. Lin..." He swallowed hard.
He took off the person on his shoulder and threw him to the ground.
“…I’m sorry.”
The girl paused as if puzzled by his behavior.
He moved quickly and was about to knock the girl unconscious.
...I'll let you rest for a while before everything is over.
…
...Huh.
The girl firmly grasped his wrist and unleashed a strength comparable to that of an adult male.
The honey-colored eyes finally revealed the fangs hidden under the gentleness, looking at him teasingly. The sudden burst of threat and aggression made his breathing stop for a moment.
The Punch side peeked out a little.
"I've already told you that I have no intention of hindering you... Doctor. You can just shake me off now and continue doing what you want. I won't stop you."
"But you haven't killed anyone yet, have you?"
Her honey-colored eyes were full of interest. "Those few times you called me 'murderer' were you mocking me, right?"
"You know, Doc. Once a man starts killing, it's like a car with the brakes removed. He can't stop."
"It started with drowning. A gentle death. You couldn't even see his face, you could only sense his fear through his intense struggle before dying."
Lin Xi glanced at the unconscious man lying on the ground, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Later, it was with a knife."
"Blood will flow everywhere. And you will become a very good butcher. Because you have received professional medical training, you know the depth of the wound to be fatal, and you also know the extent of bleeding to which the patient will be incurable."
Asai Narimi's other hand, which was hanging by his side, trembled.
Lin Xi felt his hesitation, and the hand that was holding his wrist loosened a little, and instead inserted her fingers into his hand, pulling the bony hand in front of her eyes.
Asai Narumi felt that the girl was tracing his fingers with her eyes in the moonlight. Her eyes were like those of a mountain spirit, filled with unworldly curiosity, mixed with a subtle sense of superiority.
His hands shook uncontrollably again.
"Serial killers often use increasingly bloody and brutal methods as their crimes progress. Look at these hands. They once saved someone's life, didn't they? It's a shame they're about to be stained with blood..."
Lin Xi's expression was a little regretful.
These hands are really beautiful. They look beautiful whether holding a scalpel, playing the piano or wearing a cosplay costume.
No matter how you look at it, it's not suitable to pick up the butcher knife.
"I have no other choice."
Asai Narumi finally spoke.
He found that his voice was extremely hoarse, like a traveler who had walked in the desert for a long time and was extremely thirsty.
"They have been at large for so long. If I hadn't killed them, they would still be alive..."
He raised his eyes and looked at the girl almost pleadingly: "I must kill them."
Although he spoke murderous words, his eyes seemed to be shouting and saying something else: Stop me, please.
Save me, don't let me become a murderer -
Lin Xi sighed.
What a struggling soul.
The impulses of self-preservation and destruction paradoxically coexist in the same body, making the murderer who should have been dangerous look like a tearful victim longing for redemption.
All Lin Xi needs is a pull or a push, and he will be saved, or...
Fall into a deeper abyss.
"Relax, Doctor."
She gently comforted Asai Narimi.
"There's nothing truly impossible in this world. If you can't solve a problem yourself, you can always rely on others a little, right?"
"How about a deal? I'll help you get rid of these people, and then... you do me a small favor, okay?"
"Let's leave professional matters to professionals, what do you think?"
"--doctor."
Asai Narumi didn't know what expression to make.
The two calls of "doctor" were so ambiguous that it almost seemed like a bad taste:
The superior deliberately uses respectful titles to put himself in a weak position, making the request sound like a sweet form of coercion.
He could only nod obediently.
The girl then let go of her hand.
In an instant, all the sense of danger disappeared, leaving only the girl's curved eyebrows and upturned lips.
"That's a deal, doctor!"
"Leave everything that happens next to me... You just need to..."
She pulled Asai Narumi close to her and whispered in his ear.
The unconscious man on the beach collapsed like garbage at their feet.
No one cared about him except the moonlight which still faithfully shone on him.
After hearing Lin Xi's words, Asai Chengmi fell into silence for a long time.
After a while, he said with difficulty: "Is this... really okay, Miss Lin?" Remember what you promised me, Mr. Asai!
This, this is too risky.
Can you really get away with such a dangerous method?
This was far crazier than he had planned.
The girl winked at him slyly.
It seems to be saying:
It's okay, don't panic.
Asai Narumi was speechless.
It's really...enviable confidence.
"Remember what you promised me, Mr. Asai! When I fulfill your wish, you have to do me a favor!"
The girl seemed to be very concerned about what she asked him to do and reminded him again and again.
"good."
Asai Narumi regained his calm expression, glanced at the man lying on the beach, and smiled.
"As long as you help me finish it... I can do anything you ask me to do, Miss Lin."
.
Inside the community center.
The old monk was sitting in the front, chanting scriptures while beating the wooden fish.
People dressed in black bowed their heads and closed their eyes, seemingly praying devoutly, but in fact they had no reverence for the dead.
Isamu Kameyama is not a very good village chief.
During his tenure, in order to improve the economic situation of Yueying Island, he established many preferential policies for foreign enterprises' construction projects on Yueying Island, which led to the construction of many new factories on Yueying Island during that period.
But while the economic situation has improved, the environmental pollution caused by the factories has made it difficult for the fishermen who rely on the sea for their livelihood.
Many people believe that in Yueying Island, where more than 70% of the people's income comes from fishing, it is putting the cart before the horse to hastily introduce enterprises to build factories to improve the economy and increase employment.
When he was in office, fishermen held a large-scale march.
Fortunately, not long after he took office, he died suddenly on the piano. Many factories he had just given the green light for construction were halted due to strong protests from local residents, and became abandoned factories standing on the beautiful island, incompatible with the island's beauty.
After Kameyama Isamu's death, Yueying Island's affairs were temporarily handled by three candidates for village chief. As a representative of the fishermen, Shimizu Masato naturally strongly demanded that the construction of the factory be stopped and that polluting companies be removed from Yueying Island.
However, Kuroiwa Tatsuji holds a completely opposite attitude. He believes that Yueying Island's backward economy and dwindling young labor force are entirely due to the failure to introduce advanced enterprises. They should use Yueying Island's cheap rent and good resources to attract companies to develop here.
Hideo Kawashima's opinions hovered between the two, constantly swinging, allowing the three of them to maintain a delicate balance.
However, as the election for the new village chief approaches, the balance between the three is inevitably becoming shaky.
Shimizu Masato sighed.
He sat down at the table, saw the empty seat next to him, and closed his eyes.
That was the place where Kawashima Hideo had been sitting just now. It had been a long time, and he still hadn't come back.
Shimizu Masato sighed again, clasped his hands together, and continued to pray for the deceased.
At this moment, the sound of a piano came from the side of the room.
The old monk who was beating the wooden fish with his head down looked sideways in wonder at the direction where the sound came from.
It's next door.
The crowd became agitated.
In the living room, Kogoro Mouri and his group, who were waiting bored, also heard the sound of the piano.
"Huh?" Kogoro Mouri, Tatsuji Kuroiwa and others were about to fall asleep, but they were a little more alert because of the sudden sound of the piano.
"It's 'Moonlight'." Xiaolan pointed her finger at her chin and said thoughtfully.
Conan, who was still sulking with Haibara Ai on the sofa next to him, shuddered.
“Oh no!”
He sprang to his feet like a clockwork doll, rushed out the door, and ran straight to the room where the piano was.
