Chapter 246 Returning Home As expected of a spy, he has a big imagination...
The girl on the sofa had her wrist held by him, and she opened her mouth slightly at his accusation.
"Are you putting me in the position of a victim, Bourbon?" She looked at Toru Amuro with a surprised look as if she saw a rare beast, making the nameless anger in Toru Amuro's heart burn more and more.
"Save any extra sympathy for Kiichiro Numabuchi, who's still drooling in the next room." She withdrew her hand somewhat coldly. "I'm only here to fulfill my own purpose. Don't overthink it."
The girl's posture was still elegant, leaning against the sofa, her black eyes looking at Amuro Toru quietly, as if saying: Don't presume to speculate on my thoughts, and don't even dream of knowing my past - keep a safe distance, maintain a cooperative relationship, it's good for both of us.
However, Toru Amuro was unwilling to accept this distant silence.
"You didn't deny it," he said. "You didn't deny it, Punch—ha, I thought it was because you were the second generation of the organization, but it turns out you're just an experimental subject!"
"You dare to say that you saved Scotland and cooperated with the public security...without even the slightest thought of rebelling against the organization?"
"I'm curious, Punch, do you have a number branded on your body, like the animals in the lab?"
"Shut up." Under his repeated verbal bombardment, the girl finally couldn't help but say, "Bourbon, you have a lot to say."
Compared to the previous question, this short sentence was not offensive and could not even be considered a rebuttal.
Toru Amuro didn't know why he was so aggressive.
Moreover, why did he become even angrier after seeing the girl's soft attitude?
It was like discovering that the person who acted so arrogantly in front of him was actually a victim...
Then what is he?
...Why don’t you be honest with him and seek his help?
Is it necessary to use threats to force him to cooperate with her?
Looking at Punch's silent and resistant attitude, Amuro Toru thought that he had never seen anyone as awkward as this guy.
Then he thought, maybe she really did have a number on her body.
He was burned by his own thoughts, took a deep breath, turned around and poured another cup of coffee for the girl.
Lin Xi sat on the sofa, took the coffee, and sat quietly holding the cup. She seemed to be stunned by Amuro Toru's words, but in fact...
In fact, he was also stunned by Amuro Toru's words.
As expected of an agent, he has a really big imagination.
In fact, she suspected that her flesh and blood was attractive to Kiichiro Numabuchi because she inferred it based on Kiichiro Numabuchi's reaction to her on the cliff top yesterday.
She could still distinguish between salivating at food and admiring a beautiful woman, although sometimes the two expressions were not much different.
The way Kiichiro Numabuchi looked at her was no different from the way a starving person looks at a Christmas turkey.
She knew that Kiichiro Numabuchi would definitely not want to talk about what happened yesterday. Besides the fact that he might have more serious symptoms of schizophrenia, he also didn't want to expose Haibara Ai because of himself.
That would be a good opportunity to test how attractive my flesh and blood are to him.
Lin Xi didn't expect the effect to be so good - Numabuchi Kiichiro looked like he wanted to tear her into pieces and swallow her whole.
She didn't care. Numabuchi Kiichiro couldn't beat her, and even without the shackles, he was just delivering food to her. Unexpectedly, Amuro Toru, who was monitoring the room, was even more impatient than her. He bandaged her wound, which was about to heal, and he actually spouted off a bunch of theories. God bless her, she just didn't want to reveal that Lin Xi was Punch, so she said that after seeing Numabuchi Kiichiro today and judging by his reaction, she guessed that her blood had a miraculous effect on him. She was almost stunned by Amuro Toru's words.
What could she say? Did she really look like a persecuted little thing?
But she couldn't refute it. One shouldn't fall into the trap of self-confirmation. Besides, Amuro Toru had his own logic, and he made his speculation sound so real that Lin Xi almost believed it.
Let him think so, Lin Xi thought as he took a sip of coffee.
I always feel that Punch's image has been almost ruined by her.
"Any questions?" The girl said gloomily, holding a coffee cup. "If you don't have any questions, I'll be leaving."
"Yes, of course." Amuro Toru said, "Was it Madeira who performed the human experiment on you?"
Lin Xi clenched the cup.
We agreed on the next question, why is this person still talking about human experiments!
Is this problem unavoidable?
Why keep asking questions that she can't answer?
"The person who conducted the human experiment on Kiichiro Numabuchi was Madeira," she said unhappily. "He's the head of the entire drug development department."
"Don't tell me you don't know him, Bourbon."
Of course Toru Amuro knows him.
This person is very mysterious and has the same high status as Gin. It is said that he has a special relationship with the BOSS.
Toru Amuro has never met him in person, but he has a certain understanding of him through the descriptions of other members of the organization.
This person is only interested in research, like a geek, and most of the time he stays in his own laboratory. The organization sometimes sends some useless people as "consumables" to Madeira's laboratory to use him for human experiments.
It's worth noting that the organization's human experimentation program wasn't always ongoing. According to Amuro Toru, the organization existed long before the collapse of the Soviet Union, when it had a vast underground research program and a sophisticated human experimentation system. However, for unknown reasons, human experiments were abruptly halted, and the organization stopped using humans as guinea pigs for a long time.
It wasn't until fourteen years ago that human experiments were resumed - this was something Toru Amuro extracted from a researcher in the Madeira laboratory using his PY skills.
This is just a small detail. In Amuro's view, human experimentation is just one of the organization's numerous crimes, and any one of the organization's crimes alone is enough to make Amuro firmly believe in bringing it down.
"You're not going to just tell me what I already know, are you?" he asked. "What information did you release Numabuchi Kiichiro to the Public Security Bureau to confirm, Punch?"
Lin Xi pondered for a moment: "Actually, I can probably guess what Madeira did to Kiichiro Numabuchi."
She reached out and took out a small medicine bottle from somewhere and put it on the table.
"What is this...?" Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes.
"A drug that can cause mental disorder." Lin Xi said, "It was developed by Madeira."
"If you want to ask me what his purpose was, what exactly he wanted to research... Unfortunately, I don't know. But he did develop a variety of strange and bizarre drugs, one of which is the bottle in front of you."
"Psychiatric disorders include schizophrenia, mania, depression, and anxiety. According to Madeira's description, this drug can cause people to suffer from one or more of these diseases in the short term."
"Kiichiro Numabuchi was just stupid before, not crazy. He became like this after being taken away from Zhinu Village and escaping from the laboratory four years ago. I suspect his schizophrenia is related to the drug developed by Madeira."
Toru Amuro frowned.
Drugs that can cause mental illness? Sounds really hard to guard against.
"I'll take this to the pharmacy department for testing." He reached out to put the bottle away, but was stopped by Lin Xi.
"No." Lin Xi said, "You'd better not make any moves now."
Toru Amuro: "Oh?"
Lin Xi: "The Numabuchi family disappeared after Numabuchi Kiichiro showed up. The basement was emptied, and the experimental data was taken out. It looked very clean... But to be honest, this doesn't seem like the organization's style."
"If it were an organization, they would have burned the entire Numabuchi residence down to the ground. Nothing hides evidence like fire. Of course, they wouldn't have left the livestock behind."
"But they didn't do that. Instead, they just asked the Numabuchi family to move out of the Numabuchi house..."
"You mean," Amuro Toru understood what Lin Xi wanted to say, "the organization is fishing?"
Lin Xi nodded.
"They might want to capture Kiichiro Numabuchi," she said. "Kiichiro Numabuchi's feelings are actually correct. The shadow of the organization has never truly left him. If he is really taken to prison, I'm afraid only death awaits him."
"Of course, it might not just be Kiichiro Numabuchi. There's also Shirley... You know, she's with Lin Xi now, and she was the one who let Kiichiro Numabuchi go."
"You can't give this medicine to other departments of the Public Security Bureau. I only trust you, Bourbon. I don't trust the Public Security Bureau. Only Team Zero, where you are, is safe in the entire Public Security Bureau. That's why I'm willing to appear here and talk to you."
"But once this bottle of medicine appears elsewhere in the Public Security Bureau..." Lin Xi paused, "it might be noticed by the organization."
Amuro Toru's tone was slightly disapproving: "Do you think the Public Security Bureau is full of people from the organization?"
"How could that be?" Lin Xi looked at Amuro Toru with sincere eyes. "I just care about my own safety very much. I already trust you so much, so don't worry about whether I trust other public security police officers, okay?"
Toru Amuro:......
I encountered a sincere killing weapon as powerful as a monster, and I couldn't defeat it no matter how hard I tried.
He looked away. "But you've already asked me to transfer Kiichiro Numabuchi to the Public Security Bureau. This way, the organization will definitely know what the Public Security Bureau found out about Kiichiro Numabuchi... Are you sure this is okay?"
In response to Toru Amuro's questioning, Lin Xi gave a sly smile, "Of course... there's a problem."
"But no one says they're the only ones allowed to fish. We can fish too, right?"
"When the organization comes to silence Kiichirō Numabuchi, that's when you come in, Bourbon. Maybe you can use this to figure out who the traitor in your police force is?"
