Chapter 140 Call me Shiho from now on

Not long ago.

The night was getting darker and it was earlier than the normal time to get off work.

But the laboratory, like all technological innovation companies these days, still has the lights on.

Lin Xinyi and Miyano Shiho looked faintly tired from being busy from morning to late at night.

After a whole day of biological research, their joint efforts finally bore fruit:

"The test was successful!"

"We used the improved chelex-100 method to successfully extract 16 loci required for DNA identification from 12-year-old blood stains in DNA samples, and all of them were detected!"

Lin Xinyi couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He used to be a dabbler in using tools, and he had never participated in the research process of inventing such tools.

Miyano Shiho was willing to take him step by step to conduct experiments, which indeed benefited him a lot.

"Miyano, thank you."

Different from the morning, Lin Xinyi's tone now had a hint of cordiality.

He was already familiar with Miyano Shiho before, but Miyano Shiho had a cold face, few words, and a withdrawn personality, which made him feel that this girl was a bit difficult to get along with.

But now, after spending a whole day with this iceberg beauty who was inaccessible in the past, Lin Xinyi's impression of Miyano Shiho has changed a lot:

It turns out that this talented girl's character is not so withdrawn.

She could patiently accompany him to extract DNA, perform PCR, prepare gels for electrophoresis, silver stain development, and observe the results together.

She also taught him step by step how to inject mice into the tail vein, and accompanied him to observe the mice's poisoning reactions, record the dosage, and convert the data.

After working all day long from morning to night, Miyano Shiho was never impatient.

Yes, when talking about this, Lin Xinyi also noticed:

This obviously has nothing to do with her.

But she was willing to spend so much energy on him.

This Miss Miyano

"What a brother!"

Lin Xinyi was very grateful.

Based on his life experience over the years, in this overcrowded planet, there are actually very few people who can be so patient and spend a whole day with him:

Apart from parents, family members, colleagues in the police force, trolls in the game, and trolls in the comment section, there are only a few good brothers who have a good relationship.

Miyano Shiho's ability to accompany him regardless of fatigue shows that this talented girl with a cold face and a warm heart has already developed a deep enough friendship with him.

"Thank you, Miyano."

Lin Xinyi once again expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

But Miyano Shiho was in no mood to listen to these polite words.

"I will compile the test process and conclusion into a paper in the next two days and find a way to send it to you."

"The author of the paper just writes your name and you can publish it."

Miyano Shiho tried his best to use a calm tone to make the final remarks for today's experiment.

The experiment was successful, but her always indifferent blue eyes were quietly cast with a shadow of loss:

"I can't help you with what happens next."

"That's enough." Lin Xinyi nodded contentedly:

The instructor teaches you step by step how to conduct experiments, but after the completion, only the student's name is written in the paper. Where can I find such a good thing?

Thinking of this, he felt even more grateful for Miyano Shiho's selfless help.

Compared with the simple-minded Lin Xinyi, the emotions hidden under Miss Miyano's cold face are like the biological community hidden under the calm sea, which is far more complicated.

"Forest."

After being silent for a long time, looking at Lin Xinyi who had not expressed any direct expression until now, Miyano Shiho finally couldn't help but asked a question:

"After today, will you come to the laboratory again?"

"I" Lin Xinyi's originally heartless expression of gratitude suddenly became stiff.

Will he come to the laboratory again in the future?

Definitely not anymore.

The reason why he came to the laboratory today was entirely because he couldn't tell the date and accidentally disobeyed Gin's order.

Of course Shinichi would not step on this kind of trap again.

After all, he just wants to find out the status of the organization in a low-key manner, save enough escape funds, find opportunities to escape from the organization, and live a new life of safety and freedom.

In order to achieve this goal, if it is not necessary, he will never get into trouble with Gin and make himself unhappy.

so

"I won't come back."

"It really won't happen this time."

Lin Xinyi sighed deeply.

He also realized now that tonight's farewell might be his eternal farewell to Miyano Shiho.

The difference from the last time he said goodbye was that this time, he had regarded Miss Miyano as a true friend.

Farewells between friends are often emotionally touching.

Lin Shinichi is like this, and Miyano Shiho is even more like this.

It's just like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in "Farewell at the Long Pavilion"

He still regarded her as a brother, but she had a completely different emotion:

"You won't come back again"

"Sure enough, reality is reality after all, and it will remain so in the end."

Miyano Shiho pursed his lips and sighed softly.

The voice was like falling snowflakes under a gloomy sky, light, soft, cold, and fragile.

Perhaps for the first time in her life, she didn't hide her inner feelings at all, and she didn't put on that cold facade.

Those complicated and unspeakable emotions are all written on his face.

"Miyano"

Lin Xinyi understood the loneliness on the face of this talented girl.

Somehow, thinking that he was about to say goodbye to Miyano forever, he felt a sense of loss that he had never felt before.

But Miyano Shiho pressed his lips tightly, calmed down his emotions, and cheered up:

"It's okay. I've been mentally prepared for this kind of outcome."

"Just do your thing properly and don't take any more risks like today."

"After so many years, I have become accustomed to being alone."

She smiled in relief, as if she had completely accepted the reality.

But Lin Xinyi felt sad for no reason.

Why are you sad?

this must be

Sympathy?

Lin Xinyi's mood quietly became heavy:

Because Miyano Shiho has always shown confidence and strength, he even unknowingly forgot about it

This high-spirited genius girl is actually just a pitiful prisoner:

Imprisoned and enslaved by criminal organizations, working day and night, with no life and no freedom.

This is the tragic situation that this 18-year-old girl has been facing.

In this cold prison, he is the only one who can take care of Miyano. He is Miyano's only friend.

But now, as soon as he leaves, Miyano Shiho will be left alone in this cold and dark corner again.

This is too sad.

"I see"

Lin Xinyi, who finally realized all this, his eyes gradually became sharp.

It's like a strange coincidence

He raised his head and said firmly:

"Miyano, wait for me, I will take you out of here one day."

"You" Miyano Shiho's eyes filled with surprise.

She simply couldn't believe her ears:

"Lin Xinyi, do you know what you are talking about?"

Of course Lin Xinyi knew what he was talking about.

And he also knew that, to be careful, he should not reveal his intention to escape the organization to anyone.

But he said it anyway, as if instinctively.

Because as a policeman who shoulders justice and as a friend of Miyano Shiho.

Whether it was from professional ethics or personal feelings, Lin Xinyi could not ruthlessly abandon such a poor and helpless girl and only care about escaping alone.

Even if there is no way to rescue this imprisoned girl now, we must at least give her a little hope:

"Miyano, you heard right."

"Sooner or later I will rescue you and take you out of this prison forever."

Lin Xinyi promised firmly.

He knew that as a prisoner under the strict control of the organization, Miyano Shiho would definitely not side with the organization as an "unstable factor" in Gin's words.

And since she is still Miyano Shiho's only friend, she is even less likely to report him to the organization.

Therefore, Lin Xinyi simply did not hide his intentions at all:

He just wanted to escape, and he also wanted to escape with Miyano Shiho.

"Are you crazy?"

"Betray the organization, and there will no longer be a place for you in Japan!"

Miyano Shiho was frightened by Lin Xinyi's madness.

She simply couldn't imagine the proud student who was trained by Belmode himself, the perfect younger brother that Gin admired and trusted, the loyal lackey who once regarded the organization's orders as an oracle.

He would actually say such "rebellious and unethical" words!

How could this happen? Is this still the same Lin Xinyi?

Is he really willing to abandon everything in his past and become an enemy of the entire organization for me?

Can he really make such a decisive choice between me and the organization?

Miyano Shiho thought about this problem in a panic.

And Lin Xinyi's answer did not disappoint her at all:

"I'm not crazy, this is a decision I made seriously."

"I have long planned to leave the organization."

"As long as you are willing, I will take you to escape when everything is ready."

After telling all his feelings, Lin Xinyi asked Miyano Shiho very solemnly:

"Miyano, you should be willing to escape with me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Miyano Shiho fell into a long silence.

Her silence made Lin Xinyi a little nervous:

Girl, please give me some reaction.

What's there to be hesitant about?

You have been imprisoned by the organization like a prisoner. Are you still unwilling to escape?

In this deathly silence, Lin Xinyi's heart was beating fast:

No way

Could it be that she has been locked up for so long that she has developed Stockholm Syndrome?

If this is the case, Miyano Shiho will be in big trouble if he reports his inappropriate remarks to the organization.

"Damn, what happened to me"

"You shouldn't have been so impulsive just now!"

"Now that the words have been spoken, how should I shut her mouth?"

"You can't let me kill people and silence them, right?"

Lin Xinyi began to think wildly in anxiety.

At this moment, Miyano Shiho was like a computer that had finally recovered from a crash, suddenly waking up from the overwhelming shock and emotion:

"W-yes, I do."

She answered Lin Xinyi's questions incoherently, not at all like the genius girl who was always rational and calm.

The cold and white face that was originally as cold as jade now turned a marshmallow-like pink color.

"That's good."

Finally receiving a positive answer, Lin Xinyi breathed a long sigh of relief:

"That being the case, I'm relieved."

"Miyano, if you still work here as before, I will find a way."

He was about to give a few more careful instructions when he received a nice eye roll from Miss Miyano:

"Why do you still call me Miyano?"

"???" Lin Xinyi was a little confused:

"What's your name if not Miyano?"

"Shiho, call me Shiho from now on."
