Chapter 82 Childhood
The name "Kudo Shinichi" only seemed vaguely familiar to him, but he couldn't think of anything.
But when it comes to "Edogawa Conan" or "Detective Conan", he can quickly wake up.
Because Lin Xinyi has known Conan since he was a child.
Although he has never watched "Detective Conan", his elementary school classmate, a very cute little girl, likes this anime very much.
Back then, one day in elementary school, the little girl came to his seat with her head lowered, her cheeks flushed, her eyes evasive, and she invited Lin Xinyi to her house after school to watch the DVD of "Conan" together.
Lin Xinyi laughed at that time:
Hahahaha, just kidding!
Watching cartoons with girls is not as fun as going home and practicing boxing with boys?
Besides, even if you want to watch cartoons, you still have to watch a fist-fighting show like "Dragon Ball"!
Detective, solving the case, boring, don’t watch it!
In this way, Lin Xinyi and "Conan" missed each other in childhood.
After growing up, when martial arts training was no longer the focus of life, Lin Xinyi also began to try to watch works other than martial arts, fighting, blood and other themes.
But "Conan" still didn't catch his eye.
After all, what Lin Xinyi studied hard every day was to solve crimes. After finally having some time to rest, how could he still be interested in watching some elementary school students solve crimes.
A primary school detective sounds unrealistic and unreliable, so don’t watch it!
Of course, it took him many years to understand
In reality, there are even elementary school student biogeneticists who study colorectal cancer.
In comparison, elementary school detectives are not absurd at all.
Closer to home, in short, Lin Xinyi has never watched "Conan".
But that didn't mean he couldn't recognize Conan.
Because it takes time back to elementary school
At that time, the little girl still refused to give up after being rejected. On Lin Xinyi's birthday, she specially gave him a stainless steel pencil case with a Conan cartoon image printed on it.
Although Lin Xinyi didn't understand why this girl wanted to Amway this anime so much, he still happily accepted the pencil case and used it for many years——
Because the steel pencil case is made of very solid materials, it can be carried around and used as a brick at critical moments.
The two Tibetan mastiffs I met when I was 10 years old and the gangsters I injured when I was 13 years old all experienced what it was like to be shot in the head by "Conan".
So, strictly speaking
Conan is also Lin Xinyi’s childhood.
"Speaking of which, is there a little girl printed on the pencil case?"
Lin Xinyi fell into that long memory unconsciously.
Indeed, in addition to Conan, the pencil case also had a beautiful little girl with brown hair printed on it.
When he was bored in class, he would occasionally stare at her in a daze.
I seem to have heard someone say that the girl’s name is
"Haibara Ai?"
Lin Xinyi suddenly said to Kudo in a confused manner: No, he should be called Conan now:
"Kudo, do you know Haihara Ai?"
Conan's little face was full of confusion: "Haihara Ai? Who is it?"
"Nothing, just a former friend" Lin Xinyi gave up the pursuit of childhood.
He brought his thoughts back to reality, this absurd and bizarre world:
It turns out that this is simply an anime world.
In the world of anime, it is reasonable for supernatural forces to exist
How reasonable! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Why is there a superman who can break walls and pillars in a world with the theme of "detectives"?
The figures of Kyogoku Makoto and Mao Lilan suddenly appeared in Lin Xinyi's mind.
And just then
Just like Prime Minister Cao who has mastered the laws of space, as soon as he thought this in his mind, Mao Lilan's anxious shouting came from outside the house:
"Shinichi! Shinichi! Are you back?"
"Ah?" Conan's expression changed: "It's Xiaolan, she actually came here?"
"What should I do? How can I meet her like this?"
"Lin, do you think I should tell Xiaolan the truth?" Conan asked Lin Xinyi's opinion with some trepidation.
"This" Lin Xinyi frowned tightly:
This truth includes not only the fact that Kudo has become smaller, but also the fact that he betrayed the organization and secretly helped Kudo.
If possible, he didn't want to reveal this to anyone.
But after all, this is Mao Lilan, the girl Kudo is closest to.
"You decide for yourself!" Lin Xin handed the choice to Conan: "If you think Mao Lilan is trustworthy and believe that she has the ability to keep secrets, tell her the truth."
"Yeah" Conan suddenly became confused.
At this time, Lin Xinyi had already walked towards the door, ready to open the door for Mao Lilan.
The door opened and Mao Lilan saw Shinichi.
Unfortunately, it's not the one she's looking for:
"Mr. Lin Xinyi, why are you here?"
Mao Lilan's eyes were full of doubts.
"Well," Lin Xin thought for a while and replied, "I didn't find Kudo at the amusement park, so I went directly to his house to look for him."
"Is that so?" Mao Lilan didn't feel suspicious, but tentatively looked in the door: "Is Shinichi at home?"
"Well" Lin Xinyi turned back and looked at Conan:
"I'm asking you, Shinichi, is he at home?"
"I" Conan was speechless for a while.
"Huh? Whose child is this?" Mao Lilan approached with curiosity.
Conan held it in for a long time, but finally said: "Brother Shinichi hasn't come back yet. I am a distant relative of Brother Shinichi, and I am temporarily living in his house."
"That's it. What's your name? How old are you this year?" Mao Lilan entered the state of a gentle and approachable big sister.
"Edogawa Conan, he is 177 years old this year." Conan answered in a sweet voice.
That tone of voice shocked Lin Xinyi next to him.
Mao Lilan smiled and touched Conan's head, turned around and said to Lin Xinyi embarrassedly:
"Mr. Lin Xinyi, Xinyi's matter is really troublesome for you."
"Obviously the Metropolitan Police Department is still busy with the important matter of Kidd's identity, yet you came here specifically for Kudo."
"I'm so sorry."
"Um?"
Lin Xin immediately heard something from Mao Lilan's words:
"How did you know about the Metropolitan Police's comparison of Kidd's identity?"
He didn't tell Mao Lilan about the progress of Kidd's arrest. How could she, an ordinary citizen, know that the Metropolitan Police Department was busy comparing Kidd's identity?
"It's live on TV."
"I heard that you have confirmed the suspect who is suspected of being Kidd, and are doing fingerprint and DNA identification."
Mao Lilan said in great detail.
"Huh? This was all broadcast live on TV?"
Lin Xinyi's expression was very wonderful.
He didn't expect that this kind of investigation, which should be conducted in a low-key manner, would develop to such a level that everyone would know about it.
But this is where he miscalculated:
He completely underestimated the attention of Kaitou Kidd himself, and also underestimated the popularity that he had gained due to the deliberate pursuit of the media in the past few days.
And with such a big move to capture Kidd during the day, it was impossible to hide the matter from the media with a keen sense of smell.
“Let me see what they are live streaming”
Lin Xinyi felt something was wrong, so he immediately walked back to the living room and turned on the TV.
There is no need to change the channel deliberately, what pops up on the TV is directly:
"Detective Hour: Phantom Thief Kidd Special."
On the scene, hundreds of reporters and photographers, holding microphones and cameras, surrounded the gate of the Metropolitan Police Department.
If it weren't for a large group of policemen desperately surrounding him, they would definitely have stormed into the Metropolitan Police Building.
In the live studio, there were two hosts explaining the case live:
"Brother Matsuo, something serious has happened!"
"Ms. Nagai, what happened at the scene again?!"
The two hosts, one male and one female, broadcast live with rich expressions and exaggerated intonations.
Nagai: "Let me tell you, the informant in the Metropolitan Police Department sent the news that the fingerprint comparison results came out, and the results are inconsistent!"
Matsuo: "Really or not? Don't scare me!"
Lin Xinyi was stunned for a moment:
These guys can even get the results of fingerprint comparison so quickly? How to keep confidentiality?
But there is actually nothing that can be done about it. There are thousands of people working in the Metropolitan Police Department building, and this time the fingerprint comparison and DNA identification were also done with great fanfare.
The total number of police officers and appraisers responsible for protecting and appraising work on the scientific search and research level is close to a hundred. If any one of them wants to make the huge sum of money that provides key news clues, it will be difficult to hide the news.
"I really have to go back quickly!"
"If you don't watch for a while, the news broadcast will be broadcast."
Lin Xinyi's face suddenly became very gloomy.
"Are you in trouble?" Conan quietly approached him and asked, "Why does the fingerprint comparison result not match his?"
"Kidd must have done something."
"Just leave it to me, I'm prepared."
Lin Xinyi frowned tightly, his tone calm and serious.
"Conan, take care of yourself."
"I'll probably be busy until late today. Please feel free to contact me if anything happens."
He said goodbye to Conan and Mao Lilan casually, turned around and left in a hurry.
As soon as Lin Xin left, the live broadcast on TV was still going on.
Mao Lilan is even watching with relish——
Matsuo: "The fingerprint comparison results don't match. Does that mean the Metropolitan Police arrested the wrong person this time?"
Nagai: "It's possible! And Brother Matsuo, I received inside information. In addition to the high school student who was arrested today, there is another DNA sample that is also being analyzed!"
Matsuo (eyes widened): "Real or false? Is there another suspect?"
Matsuo (thinking for a moment): "Since the fingerprint comparison results of this high school student don't match, then doesn't the real murderer have to be the remaining suspect? Who is he?"
Nagai (making a mysterious appearance): "It is said that he is the famous detective Kudo Shinichi!"
Matsuo (showing surprise): "Huh? How could this be a roar? Wasn't Kudo Shinichi at the arrest scene last night? Why is he also a suspect?"
Nagai (pretending to be wise): "Actually, it's not impossible. Kudo Shinichi could have his accomplices dress up as himself to participate in the arrest, and then transform himself into Kidd and enter the clock tower to steal the clock."
Nagai (tactical pause): "If we do this, even if his true identity is revealed in action, no one will suspect him!"
Matsuo (brows furrowed and then suddenly realized): "I understand! This must be Kudozai's conspiracy!"
Mao Lilan: ""
Conan: "????"
