Chapter 299 Sinner “If I had the chance, I would definitely kill…
She really came to get the book.
Lin Xi's last words were obviously pointed. There should be a message from Lin Xi in that book.
Moreover, it just so happened that the FBI came to take her away just when she came to Kudo's house. It was hard to say that this was not arranged by Sister Lin.
Haibara Ai listened to the reason Judy had just told her - because they had a tourist visa but were being enforced in Japan, they were deported. This kind of thing can happen between any two countries, but it will not happen between the United States and Japan.
Because she grew up in the organization, she is much more politically sensitive than Edogawa Conan. She understands that it is impossible for the Japanese to repatriate the FBI for this reason unless the FBI headquarters sends a notice to the task force.
Moreover, even the man who defected has returned to his country and appeared here. If he had not taken any action against the organization, how could he leave with peace of mind?
The more likely possibility is that the FBI has its own plan, and part of this plan is to take her and Edogawa Conan away.
As a wise, sophisticated, and mature man, Kudo Yusaku is more than just a novelist; his connections extend far and wide. Just as Lin Xi is a special consultant to the FBI, he is also a special consultant to M16 and has extensive connections within Interpol. When his son accidentally stumbles upon a transaction involving an organization and is drugged and reduced in size, Kudo Yusaku doesn't rush back to Japan. Instead, he leaves his son in the care of Dr. Agasa while he inquires about the organization through his connections within official organizations.
People like him are no longer naive. If the organization truly had no vested interests in other countries and continued to act so arrogantly in Japan and the United States, it would have long ago been labeled a terrorist organization and violently dismantled. Therefore, the only reason the organization remains active today is that those above them maintain a certain degree of tacit understanding with them, turning a blind eye to their illegal activities while the organization creates value for them.
This is the filth and dirtiness that actually exists in the adult world and cannot be avoided. Edogawa Conan finds it hard to believe, but Haibara Ai and Kudo Yusaku know it very well.
Therefore, Edogawa Conan will also be escorted to the United States by the FBI, but he will not accept the FBI's witness protection program. Kudo Yusaku will probably find other ways to ensure his son's safety.
Huibara Ai thought about it and took the book that Lin Xi wanted from the bookshelf.
The book had a pink cover and was sandwiched between other bulky books, looking a little thin and out of place.
After Haibara Ai pulled it out, she discovered that it was a diary. The pink cover had a cute cartoon kitten pattern and white lace tape, which suited Lin Xi's preferences. She sometimes liked such small and exquisite things.
She didn't remember Lin Xi bringing the diary with her when she left home. Ever since they'd been exposed to Gin's gaze, they hadn't returned to the apartment, living in a hotel and occasionally visiting Kudo's residence. Lin Xi must have stuffed the diary in there while they were at Kudo's residence.
She put the diary in her arms and said to Judy, "I've packed it."
She glanced at Coconut, who was fast asleep on the sofa, but ultimately didn't disturb him. Although she couldn't stay with Lin Xi, Coconut was still in Japan. Coconut was a very smart cat, and he could definitely help.
Conan looked at her calmness and felt a strange feeling in his heart. At this moment, he received a reply from Kudo Yusaku, asking him to follow the FBI and he would take care of the rest.
"Leave the rest to me, son," Kudo Yusaku said. "You've been in Japan for so long, tracking down the organization. Your mother and I are worried about you. Just treat this as a vacation. Once you get through this period, everything will be back to normal."
Will everything really return to normal? Conan smiled bitterly inwardly. However, he felt his father's concern for him, so he didn't act stubbornly and replied "Okay."
Kudo Yusaku told him to leave the audio in the computer and he would come back to deal with it.
Haibara Ai noticed his emotions and stood beside him very naturally, looking at him with silent eyes, expressing her concern and questions.
Conan avoided her gaze.
They were taken away by Judy and soon arrived at the airport. The ferocious-looking man also followed them. Judy briefly introduced him to Conan, telling him that he was a former undercover agent of the organization, the only one who was still intact after defecting from the organization, and was still in the FBI, an agent specializing in targeting the organization's operations.
Conan's attention was indeed partially diverted. The seating arrangement of the FBI was very interesting. Haibara Ai, Edogawa Conan, and Akai Shuichi sat in a row, Haibara Ai by the window, Akai Shuichi by the corridor, and Conan in between them.
Putting aside the awkwardness of sitting next to Ai Haibara, who had been keeping this a secret from him, Conan's curiosity was focused on Shuichi Akai: this former undercover agent had also lived within the organization, and not as a researcher like Ai Haibara, but as an out-and-out operative. He might know more about the organization and Punch.
Thinking of this, he also asked directly: "Mr. Akai, do you know Punch?"
Akai Hide turned his head to look at him, and Haibara Ai also turned her head to look at Conan.
The child's face was tender, so the tear marks he saw when they met in the evening had not yet disappeared.
He could sense that the child was in a bad mood, feeling sad but not wanting others to see his sadness, wanting to seek comfort but not wanting to be comforted.
Now that he mentioned Punch on his own initiative, Shuichi Akai knew who this emotion was for.
You have done so many bad things, Punch.
"I know her," Akai Shuichi said. "When I was a new member of the organization, I was under Punch's supervision. She was my superior during that time."
"What kind of person is she?"
"He's a tough opponent," Akai Shuichi said frankly. "He's good at disguise, strong in physical skills, accurate with a gun, and also very good at socializing."
To some extent, she and Bourbon have some similarities, both of them are very popular in the organization. However, their ways of dealing with people are completely different. Punch is good at impressing others with enthusiasm and sincerity, while Bourbon is completely a mask and only cares about the most essential interests.
This was obviously not the answer Conan wanted.
"If she shows up, will the FBI take action against her?" Conan asked, "I mean, if they're sure it's her."
His hands clenched nervously.
Huiyuan Ai looked at him and crossed her arms. She was now convinced that this guy must know something, which was why he was so anxious.
Akai Shuichi stared at him and grinned.
"Whether the FBI takes action against her is not up to me," he said. "But..."
"If I had the chance, I would kill her."
His expression gave Conan a chill.
That was a hunting expression. Conan couldn't help but realize that as a former undercover agent, this man must have killed someone before, and if he was needed, he would definitely do it without hesitation.
He had been exposed to an excessive amount of reality today. For a young detective who had always been well protected by his parents, this was too much for him, and now he was even more uneasy.
Ai Haibara sneered, not fearing the now ferocious Akai Shuichi. She had become completely immune to the aura of the organization's members, and now she wouldn't be afraid even if Gin stood in front of her.
What a joke! If I could do it, I would have done it long ago. Why haven't I done it yet? Is it because I don't want to?
These people from the FBI are full of harsh words. If they had the ability, why didn't they protect her sister in the first place?
The topic ended there. The three of them, each with their own thoughts, sat in their respective seats, thinking, and no one spoke again.
On the other hand, the results of Kudo Yusaku's investigation have come out.
The police officer killed by Kiichirō Numabuchi had been tampered with, with the same scented accessory placed on his body. The tampering was perpetrated by his partner. Yusaku Kudo discovered a flaw, and under constant pressure, the officer finally confessed to being an informant for the organization, acting on orders from Punch. Unexpectedly, his partner was murdered.
He described the face of the person who came to see him at that time - long black curly hair, about 1.7 meters tall, light brown pupils, exactly like Lin Xi.
At this point, with the witness, the police were finally able to arrest Lin Xi.
The police officer named Aijima, who had been assisting Lin Xi and the Kudo couple in their investigation, applied for an arrest warrant as soon as possible, but was intercepted by the police in advance.
"The police will take over the rest of the matters." The person who came said so, and Xiangdao had no choice but to give up.
The police have surrounded the entire hospital. If Lin Xi makes any unusual movements, they plan to subdue her with force.
However, Lin Xi was unexpectedly well-behaved.
Facing the public security officer Kazami Yuya who appeared before her, she handed over all her communication devices and said to him thoughtfully, "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, little public security officer."
This made Yuya Kazami break out in a cold sweat, and he quickly tried to think about whether there were any flaws in his recent secret contact with Toru Amuro.
"Are you going to take me away?" Lin Xi smiled. "Are you sure?"
Feng Jianyu also understood the haste of this action, and Lin Xi's smile gave him a bad feeling.
He soon knew where the ominous premonition came from, because Lin Xi revealed the answer the next moment: "Although you have blocked all the signals in the ward before, I still passed the message on. You may face the organization's pursuit and interception next. Can you handle it?"
Signal blocking is useless for system-produced phones. Although the signal bar was zero, Lin Xi still sent a message to Gin.
"Be prepared, police," she said calmly, "If you want to take me away, there will be a price to pay."
Yuya Kazami was silent.
There is no point in delving into how Lin Xi conveyed the information at this moment. What they need to do is to alert the hospital's defense forces and be vigilant against possible attacks.
Now Lin Xi is also a hostage. While Lin Xi is in their hands, at least the organization will not use weapons of mass destruction against them.
