Chapter 138: Whitechapel Serial Murder Case You are such a good person...
"--Meow!"
The white cat's claws were still tightly gripping Lin Xi's clothes, refusing to let go.
No matter how the young man tried to persuade him kindly, it was of no avail.
"Sorry, Miss Lin, coconuts are very obedient."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Xi brought the cat back into his arms, looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang in front of him, and said tentatively:
"Mr. Gaunt, why don't you just leave it with me for a while and let me take care of it?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned.
"Is it okay? Ah, I mean, is it too much trouble for you?"
"Not at all!" Lin Xi said with a smile, "Rather, I'm a little worried that my request is too presumptuous."
"Don't worry, Mr. Gaunt. I've raised kittens before, so I have experience. Coconut won't leave anytime soon, so why not let me take care of it for a while?"
"It just so happens that my sister also likes small animals... right, Ai?"
Lin Xi secretly winked at Huihara Ai.
Haibara Ai nodded in cooperation.
Yes, Sister Lin is right.
Ah, what did she say? I like animals? That's true.
Zhu Fujingguang watched the exchange of glances between the two, one older and one younger, and couldn't help but laugh, "In that case, I'll leave it to Miss Lin."
They exchanged contact information and agreed to return the coconut to the young man before Lin Xi left the United States.
When Lin Xi took out his cell phone, Zhu Fujingguang noticed the photo paper that was stacked together with Lin Xi's cell phone and was taken out together.
"Is this a Polaroid photo?" he asked.
He saw the girl give a sly smile. For some reason, the young man felt quite familiar with this smile. He always felt...
Whenever I see this kind of smile, it’s the girl’s evil taste that’s playing tricks on her.
...Is someone going to be unlucky?
Ah, could it be him...
Before he could figure out what was going on, the girl handed him the photo.
"Something like that. Mr. Gaunt, are you familiar with the Japanese band 'Whiskey'?"
The young man's expression froze for a moment.
"Hmm?" He hummed from his nose. Obviously, he had never heard of this term and was frantically searching for knowledge in his mind.
Um...Japanese bands...
Is there anyone with this name?
Ah, he really doesn't know much about this!
"They're a rising star in the Japanese music scene," Lin Xi said seriously. "The band consists of three people: a bassist, a drummer, and the lead singer."
"I'm a big fan of theirs." She leaned closer to Zhu Fujingguang and whispered, "This is a photo I took secretly."
The girl opened her palm, revealing the Polaroid photo she had taken on Moon Shadow Island.
In the photo, the golden-haired man was smiling. The moonlight shone through the window behind him, casting a silver halo on the ends of his hair.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was completely stunned.
A sour feeling surged up from the bottom of my heart.
...this person.
He must have known her before!
In his completely blank memory, there must be the shadow of this person!
Zhu Fu Jingguang reached out his hand anxiously and pinched the small piece of photo paper.
Although he lived peacefully in the United States for four years under the arrangement of the CIA, Zhu Fushigami never gave up searching for his past.
He clearly remembered every detail of the day he was taken away, waking up on the sofa with only a white cat beside him.
He couldn't remember anything about himself, but he remembered who the current President of the United States and Prime Minister of Japan were.
The CIA came and took him away from Japan.
On the plane, he watched the land gradually moving away and the city gradually getting smaller, holding the cat tightly in his arms.
He had some speculations about his own background.
It was nothing more than that he was persecuted and secretly sent abroad under someone's protection.
Maybe even the amnesia was caused by that person.
He has thought about going back over the years.
But every time he was severely stopped by the CIA.
There will be danger, not just for you, but for others as well, the CIA said.
But when Zhu Fu Jingguang asked about his origins, who sent him here, what danger was and where the danger came from, the CIA remained silent.
Now, there are clues to past memories!
"Ms. Lin, could you tell me more about... uh, the Whisky Band?"
"Of course." Lin Xi chuckled, "This is Amuro Toru. He's the band's drummer. Look at his figure... his face... shashaha..."
Zhu Fujingguang: "..."
Ahem, Miss Lin is indeed obsessed with looks.
He examined the photo carefully.
The photo has been well preserved and is still brand new without a single crease.
The expression of the blond young man was softened by the Polaroid filter, and his eyes seemed to travel through time and space, looking at him gently.
Zhu Fu Jingguang's heart skipped a beat again.
Lin Xi next to him smiled.
"Are you interested in the band too? I told you it's impossible for anyone to resist the charm of the Whisky Trio..."
"If you like it, take it, Mr. Gaunt."
"Eh, eh?" Zhu Fujingguang was stunned for a moment. "But Miss Lin, this photo must be very precious, right? It must have been very difficult for you to obtain it..."
She seemed to be saying just now that she took the photo secretly?
That should be the only one, right?
Is it really okay to just give such precious photos to someone else?
"Pfft." The girl couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing. "Take it, take it...Mr. Gaunt."
"Hahaha... I feel honored to be able to send this photo to someone who truly loves this band."
Zhu Fujingguang's face turned slightly red at the girl's laughter.
"Thank you." He said softly, "Ms. Lin, you are such a good person."
The girl smiled even more happily.
She patted the young man's shoulder and said, "If you have the chance, you must come to Japan! I'll take you to see the Whisky Band's performance!"
"You'll definitely fall in love with them!"
"Okay." Looking at Lin Xi's smiling face, the young man said seriously.
"If there's a chance...I'll definitely go."]
.
Anyway, that's how it was, and Coconut Cat was left with Sister Lin.
Humph, she didn't think the guy was very reluctant. Maybe he deliberately left the cat with Sister Lin so that he could leave his contact information and find an excuse to visit Sister Lin at any time.
Haibara Ai calmly stroked the cat's head.
Coconut made a purring sound.
This little shit scooper's technique is as good as ever, reminding the cat of the past.
This time, it has found a great poop scooper, and it will never leave her again.
Even if the owner asks for it himself, it won’t work!
In the words of the two-legged beasts, only death can separate them... and it won't leave anyway!
It nestled into Haibara Ai's arms.
Seeing this, Hiroki coughed lightly and said, "Regarding my affairs...Actually, Ai, you don't have to worry about me."
I don't know when it started, but the name has changed from "Haibara Sister" to "Ai", but neither side has any intention of correcting it.
"It's just that my adoptive father wants to abandon me," Sawada Hiroki said the most shocking words in the most ordinary tone, "In order to avoid being abandoned, I decided to take the initiative to sever ties with him."
Haibara Ai paused while stroking the cat.
She raised her head.
OVO?
"...Struggle among wealthy families? No, that's not right...Father and son turning against each other? That's not right either..." She said hesitantly, her brain CPU a little overheated.
Lin Xi found her dazed expression so adorable that she couldn't help but pull a handful of her brown hair and lean back on the sofa: "This is called overthrowing capitalist tyranny and fighting for workers' rights..."
Huiyuan Ai: ???
What are we overthrowing? What are we fighting for?
Did they enter the wrong set?
"...Do you want to sue?" she asked with difficulty.
Sugishima Jun'e couldn't bear to watch any more and joined the conversation: "Thomas Schindler is a descendant of Jack the Ripper, the 19th-century murderer. This was originally a secret, but by chance, it was discovered by a program invented by Hiroki that can trace ancestry based on DNA."
"Thomas has been monitoring Hiroki's every move, fearing he might leak the secret."
Haibara Ai immediately turned around and looked at the camera in the lounge where they were.
"It's okay, Ai." Hiroki Sawada waved his hand, and all the cameras started buzzing and turned their backs to them.
"Now those 'eyes' of his are mine."
The boy blinked.
Haibara Ai was stunned when she saw the smile on his face.
This smile...
It's too much like Sister Lin's smile whenever she's having a bad time.
This is what they mean by birds of a feather flock together... Isn't it true that birds of a feather flock together?
I always feel that the image of a gentle boy that Hiroki gave people at the beginning has grown a devil's tail and horns.
"So what do we do now?" she asked.
Could it be that Sister Lin came here just to resolve this matter?
"The news has already spread." Lin Xi said lightly, "So next, a certain big shark might get angry and embarrassed."
Sugishima Jun'e nodded. "Today's murder is a perfect opportunity to create public opinion. Hiroki sent a message to all the major media outlets—anonymous, of course. The news that Thomas Schindler is a descendant of the Ripper has made the headlines along with the murder."
"Ah, ah?" Haibara Ai was a little dazed.
She looked at Lin Xi and the other two with a matter-of-fact expression, and a voice kept echoing in her heart:
We should, probably, probably... be law-abiding citizens, right?
Why does the painting style feel so distorted?
I always feel that everyone's brain circuits are running wildly on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes...
She is the only one who is good, good...
wrong.
Haibara Ai suddenly came back to her senses.
She should be the darkest one among this group of people!
She was clearly the only one who had been in the organization, had been given a code name, and had been a cadre!
How come I appear so innocent in front of them?
No, she also wants...
So Lin Xi and the other two saw that after being stunned for a moment, little Haibara Ai snorted and the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Those who do evil will eventually perish." The little girl said, "He probably doesn't know that everything he did to Hongshu will eventually come back to haunt him, right?"
She understood, to some extent, that Hiroki, her adoptive father, might not be just that. So many of the products on the first floor were invented by Hiroki, and people kept staring at them as they browsed—there must be an exploitative relationship between Hiroki and Schindler.
But she didn't expect that after she said this, she didn't fit in with the style of the three people as she expected.
instead……
"puff."
Lin Xi suppressed his laughter.
Sugishima Jun'e looked away and pursed her lips.
But Haibara Ai noticed that her fists were clenched and her hands were still shaking slightly.
Hiroki is the youngest and hasn't learned to manage his facial expressions yet. At this moment, his face is twisted and contorted, and he is trying very hard to hold back his laughter.
Little Ai is so cute!
Saying these words seriously is no different from a beautiful girl pointing at a bad guy and saying she will destroy him on behalf of the moon!
Haibara Ai:.
QAQ.
