Chapter 178 Confess Identity
After this deep soul education, Conan is like a frozen river in winter, which will no longer be able to wave for a while.
After Conan's parents taught him such an unforgettable lesson and left a psychological shadow on their son, they continued to implement the free-range policy for their son with peace of mind and were busy traveling abroad around the world without any interruption. The world of two people has gone.
Before leaving, according to Conan's own wishes, Kudo Yukiko re-fostered him to the home of his childhood sweetheart, Mouri Kogoro, in the name of "Edogawa Fumiyo".
The next day, in the afternoon.
Conan, as usual, came home from school with his schoolbag on his back.
Although he was walking the same way and there was nothing important to do, his pace home was much faster than before.
Not for anything else, just because of the lesson his parents taught him yesterday.
People often only know how to cherish something when it is lost.
When I think of what I experienced yesterday, the horrific scene of Xiaolan hugging another man and leaving him, the horrific scene of her lover's blood staining her hands red.
Conan wished he could transform into a koala and hug Xiaolan on the tree every day, never letting go for a moment.
He felt that even if a case happened now, it would be impossible for him to leave Xiaolan alone.
Well, Xiaolan, just don’t leave him alone.
With this thought in mind, Conan couldn't help but speed up his pace home.
Even if he goes home early and can only be jealous of Xiaolan and Dr. Asai, it doesn't matter. For Conan, who is still immersed in the aftermath of that nightmare, he feels very happy to be by Xiaolan's side.
And just when he walked downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency, he was stopped by an unexpected person:
"Lin?" Conan looked at Lin Xinyi with some confusion: "What are you doing here?"
"I have something to do with you." Lin Xinyi walked up and said, "Please go somewhere with me first."
"Where to go?" Conan was a little confused.
"You'll know right away."
Lin Xinyi didn't answer, just picked up Conan.
He assumed the posture of a kidnapper and held the great detective tightly in his arms, preventing him from breaking away.
"What on earth are you going to do?" Conan became increasingly puzzled.
Lin Xinyi, on the other hand, walked with Conan in his arms, took out the paralyzed face he had trained for many years, and said coldly:
"Conan, I'm afraid I have to tell you something."
"Actually, I am not an ordinary person at all, but a cadre of that black organization!"
In order for Conan to provide money and help, he must know the existence of the Miyano sisters and the true identity of Miyano Shiho.
He had already been told so much. According to the great detective's mind, there were some things that he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
After all, Conan was his teammate, and Lin Xinyi had no need to keep him in the dark.
So, he planned to confess everything and officially reach cooperation with Conan.
However, while telling Conan the truth as planned, Lin Xinyi was also prepared to scare the kid a little more, so that he would learn more about being low-key and restrained.
Because of this, he always imitated Gin's appearance when he spoke, and his tone was very cold.
And Conan seemed to be really frightened by the murderous look in his eyes.
The great detective was silent for a while, and his expression gradually became uglier than crying:
"Lin, can you please stop making trouble?"
"Play me like you did yesterday and I will really go crazy!"
Lin Xinyi: "."
Conan rolled his eyes and continued:
"Then again, you acted too carelessly this time."
"If you want to play the bad guy and 'kidnap' me, you have to at least drive a car!"
"How can any cadre of a criminal organization kidnap people using their legs?"
With that said, Conan simply lay comfortably in Lin Xinyi's arms, not even struggling:
"Speaking of which, the car you drove yesterday was rented by my parents, and today my parents have gone abroad."
"I said, Lin."
Conan couldn't help but think of Lin Xinyi's scratching and painful appearance when he was in a taxi with him before:
"Are you reluctant to spend gas money, so you didn't drive here?"
Lin Xinyi: "."
How could this little bastard guess so accurately?
At first, he really wanted to drive out the black Toyota car left by the original owner to enhance the sense of oppression when revealing his identity.
But when he thought about the gasoline he would need to burn when driving and the parking fees he might have to spend, he gave up the idea.
"Be serious!" Lin Xinyi shouted coldly with a straight face: "I'm not kidding you!"
"knew"
"Anyway, just take me wherever you want."
Conan seemed to have turned into a lazy orange cat, lying completely flat and letting it be fucked:
"You must have something important to say, so you put on this posture to intimidate me. I hope I can keep the secret low-key after knowing it."
"Lin, this is really unnecessary."
"The one we played yesterday was impressive enough."
"If you have any secrets, you can tell me directly. Now I know that I have to be careful and low-key."
As he said that, Conan couldn't help but have a look of lingering fear on his little face.
In this way, he followed Lin Xinyi honestly and came to a villa not too far from his home.
"Is he planning to bring me here to meet someone?"
Looking at the women's clothes hanging in the yard of the villa, Conan quickly realized that a woman should live in this villa.
What is the relationship between that woman and Lin Xinyi?
Her identity must be very sensitive, otherwise Lin Xinyi would not have given him a blow in advance and made the atmosphere so mysterious.
And that woman probably has some connection with the organization he wants to deal with.
Otherwise, Conan couldn't imagine why Lin Xinyi, who had always been unwilling to let him get involved in trivial matters, would bring him, a "primary school student", to meet this sensitive woman.
"Could it be that Lin Xinyi's investigation of that organization has made progress?"
"But he obviously has no clues like me, and he has been solving the case these days. How could he investigate so quickly?"
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly felt filled with doubts.
Lin Xinyi took him to the door of the villa and rang the doorbell.
The door opened quickly.
But to Conan's surprise, in addition to a beautiful young woman, the person who opened the door for them was also a little girl with brown hair who looked to be only 7 or 8 years old.
The little girl held the young woman's hand and stood beside her obediently, as if she was a little sister being taken out for a walk by her elder sister.
But her delicate little face always had a maturity and indifference that belied her age.
As soon as the door opened, she glanced at Conan briefly, and then moved her eyes to Lin Xinyi:
"Lin, is this the shrunken Kudo you were talking about?"
"Yeah." Lin Xin nodded.
"This" Conan's expression suddenly became subtle:
The little girl's tone didn't sound like a primary school student at all.
And it was obvious that Lin Xinyi also told her his true identity.
Why would he feel comfortable telling such a big secret to a little girl?
"Could it be..." Conan vaguely realized something.
"Let's go in and chat." Lin Xinyi did not explain directly, but closed the door and took Conan to the living room to sit down.
After sitting down, Conan was about to take the initiative to ask questions.
But the little girl cast a cold look at him and said slowly in a cold tone:
"You're right, Detective."
"Like you, I was raped by APTX4869——"
"That's the kind of drug you take to shrink your victim."
"Is that true?!" Although he had expected this, Conan was still a little shocked when he heard that his suspicion was confirmed.
And before the shock subsided, the little girl with brown hair made another shocking revelation:
"And, my sister and I were both members of that organization."
"My sister is only a peripheral member of the organization, but I am the scientist in charge of the organization's drug development and the developer of APTX4869."
"You can call me by my codename in the organization, 'Shirley'."
"As for my name?"
The expression of the brown-haired girl looked slightly amused:
"Detective, actually you have already heard it."
"You" Conan didn't understand what she meant, and just said in great shock: "Are you the developer of this drug?"
"Lin, what's going on?"
He couldn't help turning his head and looked at Lin Xinyi with great curiosity:
"How come this 'Shirley' knows you?"
"Why is she here with you?"
"Uh," Lin Xinyi replied with a weird expression: "Didn't I say that I am a cadre of that organization?"
Conan was silent for a while and sighed helplessly:
"You should stop joking at times like this."
"No cadre of a criminal organization is so poor that he can't even afford to drive a car."
Lin Xinyi: "."
Miss Shiho next to her had a cold face, and her expression became a little embarrassed.
"besides."
Conan continued his analysis:
"If you are a cadre of that criminal organization, then why are you saving me?"
"We had only known each other for a few days at that time, so we couldn't say we had a deep friendship, right?"
"Why would you risk being punished by the organization to save me a burden that the organization wants to get rid of?"
"."
Lin Xinyi looked at Conan helplessly:
"Could it be that my conscience suddenly struck me?"
"No, this is not a sudden discovery of conscience."
"Because you are a good person from the bottom of your heart."
Conan shook his head and said to Lin Xinyi very firmly:
"Although it is a bit emotional to say this, the pursuit of justice and the cherishing of life that you showed when solving the case can be felt."
"It's enough to say that you were born to be a policeman. How can you be a criminal?"
After all, he refused to believe that Lin Xinyi was a bad guy for a while.
Lin Xinyi was speechless for a while, and finally had to ask:
"Well, now that you say so"
"Then how do you think I got the drug developer here?"
"This" Conan reacted suddenly.
He had just judged Lin Xinyi's identity entirely based on his personal qualities.
But as long as you calm down and think about it like a detective, you will find that there are many things wrong:
If Lin Xinyi had nothing to do with that organization, how could he investigate the organization so quickly and kidnap two important members of the organization without any clues?
Conan is not stupid.
After Lin Xinyi's "good guy filter" faded away, he immediately noticed:
In view of the current situation, the seemingly most incredible explanation is actually the only reasonable answer.
"Are you really a member of that organization?"
Lin Xinyi is a good person, but he is also a member of a criminal organization.
This sounds absurd, but Conan already believes it:
"No wonder."
"No wonder you committed suicide by the river when I first saw you."
Conan murmured to himself, his expression suddenly enlightened:
Regarding this point, he had never figured it out since he met Lin Xinyi.
He didn't know that a person like Lin Xinyi, who had excellent looks, noble qualities, outstanding talents, and was perfect in all aspects, would embark on the road of committing suicide.
Conan initially thought that Lin Xinyi had financial problems, but later through contact, he discovered that although Lin Xinyi was poor, he had never been depressed or worried because of money.
In this way, Lin Xinyi's suicide became an unsolved mystery.
This unsolved mystery has always lingered in Conan's heart. The longer he was in contact with Lin Xinyi, the more puzzled he became.
Now, this question has finally been answered:
"Is it because of that organization?"
"It must be painful for a good person like you to be bound by that kind of organization, right?"
After learning Lin Xinyi's true identity, Conan's reaction was not fear or fear, but a deep feeling of emotion and sympathy.
"No wonder you've been so serious about telling me to keep a low profile."
"It turns out you took such a big risk to save me."
Thinking that Lin Xinyi risked his life to save himself despite suffering that kind of pain, Conan couldn't help but feel guilty.
He felt even more that Lin Xinyi was worthy of admiration and sympathy.
"Hey, hey. That was a few days ago."
"Don't worry about me, didn't I jump into the river a long time ago?"
Lin Xinyi looked helpless and was about to persuade Conan not to look at him with such concern for terminally ill patients.
But this time.
But he felt that there was suddenly a warm and soft thing in his arms.
Lin Xinyi lowered his head and looked:
I saw the little iceberg beauty who had always remained indifferent in front of others. At this moment, for some reason, her personality suddenly collapsed.
She dove into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Like a kitten craving for its owner's arms.
"Zhibao, what's wrong?" Lin Xinyi still didn't react.
"Forest"
Miss Shiho held Lin Xinyi's arm tightly and looked up at her boyfriend's face pitifully.
Her voice was trembling, and every syllable was filled with deep guilt:
"You committed suicide?"
"Because of me?"
I've been feeling a little nervous lately, especially today, I'm in a bad state.
Let’s update it today. I’ll make up for it later when I have a chance.
