Chapter 226 The rogue relatives who can’t be driven away
After coming to this conclusion, Lin Xinyi himself couldn't believe it:
How could the Thousand-Faced Witch with an extraordinary status in the organization be one of our own?
If even the core members of Belmod's level are just pick-and-rolls, how does this organization persist until now?
"You still have to be as careful as possible."
"Until we figure out the specific reasons why Belmode is protecting Kudo and Mao Lilan, we must not act rashly."
Lin Xinyi was thinking this in his heart.
But Belmode quietly took his arm and said in his ear:
"Now that the case has been solved, if you have nothing to do today, please go somewhere with me."
"Where to go?" Lin Xinyi frowned quietly.
Belmode smiled playfully: "You'll know when we get there."
"This" Lin Xinyi couldn't guess what the other party was thinking, so he had to bite the bullet and agree: "Okay."
With that said, before he could continue to ask "Where is that place?", Belmod led him out of the venue.
There was a dazzling array of luxury cars parked in the parking lot outside the venue.
Belmode stopped in front of a black sports car that looked very cool even in a luxury car.
Lin Xinyi instinctively looked at the logo of this sports car:
Not a horse, not a cow, not a dung fork.
Well, with his lack of vehicle knowledge due to his shallow financial resources, he couldn't recognize what Belmode's car was.
But as long as you look at the flamboyant and gorgeous shape of this sports car, you will know that the owner is undoubtedly a rich woman.
"I just bought the car after I arrived in Japan. Do you want to give it a try?" Belmode took out a strange-looking car key from his handbag and waved it in front of Lin Xinyi.
"No." Lin Xinyi shook his head.
"Oh" Belmode held the key tightly and said a few words casually:
"You used to like driving sports cars. Why have you changed your attitude now?"
"Speaking of which, my boy, there are many things about you that are different from before."
"."
Lin Xinyi was silent for a moment, and then replied without changing his expression:
"People change."
"Teacher, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
He learned about it inadvertently from Xiao Ai.
"I" came to Japan with her to work after graduating from university, and since then he has been hanging around her in the laboratory every day. It has been more than two years since I last saw Belmode.
Such a long time is very reasonable to explain some changes in personality and habits.
"Yeah. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Belmod sighed with some emotion: "It's all because of that woman."
She mentioned Shirley again in front of Lin Xinyi, but somehow the hatred in her voice was much lighter than before.
As for the seemingly unintentional question just now, she seemed to have ignored it.
But Lin Xinyi did not take it lightly.
He knew that Belmode's powers of observation were extraordinary, and if he stayed with her all the time, sooner or later she would discover more problems.
But now he can't find a reason to get rid of this difficult woman.
"We can only take one step and see one step at a time."
"Now I don't know where she will take me or what she will do."
Lin Xinyi thought worriedly.
He now felt like a student being dragged into class, and he just hoped that the teacher in front of him would disappear as soon as possible.
Then, in his nervousness and expectation
Belmod drove her rich supercar and arrived with the pretty boy in the passenger seat.
"my home?"
Looking at the familiar high-end apartment that appeared in front of him, Lin Xinyi's cold face became a little unbearable:
"Teacher, why did you come to my house?"
Belmode did not answer, but with a playful smile, he parked the sports car in the underground parking lot of the apartment.
Then, she walked down and opened the trunk of the sports car and took out two heavy suitcases from inside:
"As a gentleman, you cannot stand by while a lady carries heavy objects."
Belmod said this, and then handed the two suitcases to Lin Xinyi's hands.
"This" Lin Xinyi carried the two boxes and tried to feel the real weight inside the boxes.
"Teacher," he suddenly had a bad premonition: "Are you going to stay here?"
"That's right."
Belmode blinked, with a charming smile on his lips:
"You know, I am your 'girlfriend'."
"If I don't live here with you, where else can I go?"
"."
Lin Xinyi's scalp felt numb for a while, and then he said with a cold face:
"Teacher, stop making such jokes - it's boring."
Belmod gradually stopped smiling.
But now she is not joking, but it makes people even more uncomfortable:
"You have lived with me since you were a child."
"Every time I go to see you in college, you are as happy as a child."
"But now you are not even willing to let me enter your home."
Those emerald green eyes were like eagles. They didn't deliberately show any emotion, but they still felt sharp.
The feeling of "I" was on pins and needles again.
He felt like he was dancing with a poisonous snake. If he made the slightest mistake, he would be bitten hard.
And just when Lin Xinyi was organizing words in his mind to defend himself.
However, Belmod suddenly smiled again and used that unpredictable and relaxed tone:
"My Boy, even if you want to drive me away, you can't be in such a hurry."
"After all, if you always hate me as a teacher so much that you don't even want me to get close to you."
"But I can't leave with peace of mind."
As she spoke, she quietly came closer, like an elegant snow leopard.
The warm breath gently brushed over the prey.
It's dangerous, but also beautiful.
Lin Xinyi was frozen there, not knowing how to refute.
But Belmod had already turned around gracefully, with her back to him, and gently shook the extra key in her hand.
This was the key to Lin Xin's family. It was originally placed in his suit pocket, but now it appeared quietly in Belmode's hands.
"You've become dull."
Belmod walked in front, minding his own business, leaving only a graceful figure behind:
"Let's go, don't forget to help me carry the box up as well."
"."
Lin Xinyi now felt like he had met a relative who stayed at home and wanted to get rid of him quickly, but he didn't dare to betray him.
And what Belmod said is right.
The more he resists her approach now, the less likely she is to leave with peace of mind.
In order to let her get out early, he could only pretend to be a good kid for a few days.
"well"
Lin Xinyi sighed helplessly, and finally followed him with the box.
On the other side, Conan and Mao Lilan left the hospital.
After being sent to the hospital for rescue, Sayuri Matsumoto was quickly out of danger.
However, her mouth and esophagus were severely burned. Even if she was successfully rescued from coma, she would still need to rest for a long time before she could speak, which would make it inconvenient to meet relatives and friends so soon.
Therefore, after confirming that Teacher Sayuri was completely out of danger, Mao Lilan took Conan home.
On the way home, both of them were troubled by their encounter with Belmode today.
"Conan, my performance today is too abnormal."
"That woman will definitely notice something is wrong, right?"
Mao Lilan was doing self-examination with lingering fear.
Belmod suddenly asked about Kudo Shinichi in front of her before, which really caught her off guard.
She inevitably fell into panic, and finally fled in front of the other party.
She didn't feel it at the time, but looking back now, her panic at that time was as suspicious as the fact that there was no three hundred taels of silver here.
"I can't blame you, Xiaolan."
Conan sighed helplessly and comforted:
"Who would have thought that that Belmod would actually ask about 'Kudo Shinichi'."
"It's impossible that Lin Xinyi told her this name."
"In other words, she was originally here to investigate me. I have already been noticed by that organization."
"What should we do?"
Mao Lilan asked in a confused manner:
"If it's been exposed that you're not dead, Shinichi."
"That woman will definitely continue to find reasons to approach me and inquire about your whereabouts from me."
"So we have to be more cautious now."
"Anyway, Xiaolan, you said it in front of her. Uh."
"Tell me that I have broken up with 'Kudo Shinichi'."
"We might as well resort to our own tricks and insist that Kudo Shinichi never showed up again after his disappearance, and that we should completely break up with you and stop calling you."
"If she is still unable to investigate the traces of Kudo Shinichi from your side, she will gradually believe this story and divert her attention away from you, Xiaolan."
Conan looked strangely as he analyzed the matter of asking his girlfriend to pretend to break up with him.
Mao Lilan also hesitated: "This method may be feasible."
"But I...I'm worried that if I don't perform well, I will show my flaws in front of her."
After today's actual combat drill, Mao Lilan has completely lost confidence.
No way, she has never been good at lying and deceiving.
"This" Conan also has a headache about this.
But after all, he is also the son of a top actress. He has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run away. He has many practical skills in acting.
So, Conan thought for a moment and then gave guidance to Mao Lilan:
"Sister Xiaolan, you just need to act your usual self."
Without any sense of disobedience, he changed his title to the sweet "Sister Xiaolan" and set a perfect demonstration:
"Remember the time before my identity was exposed?"
"At that time, you thought I had been out investigating the case. Kudo Shinichi's disappearance was a fact to you."
“Think about how it felt back then.”
"As long as you bring out the feeling you had at that time, you can play this role well."
Conan's drama director played a key role. He pointed out to Xiaolan a technique that only requires true acting.
"Have you found the feeling you had at that time?"
Mao Lilan gently rubbed her chin and recalled the past:
"At that time, Shinichi ran alone to investigate the case at the amusement park, and then he disappeared."
"People are obviously so worried about him, but he only makes perfunctory phone calls from time to time, saying that he is investigating cases in other places."
"This guy does this every time"
"On dates we only talk about Sherlock Holmes, but when we encounter a case, we just leave me behind."
"Damn it!! Shinichi is so annoying!!"
Mao Lilan gradually found the feeling.
There happened to be a telephone pole beside the road.
She couldn't hold it back, and when she got emotional, she punched an iron fist at the telephone pole.
Conan: "."
His face was swollen and painful, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Xiaolan, you, are you acting now?"
Looking at the shattered telegraph pole, Conan shivered with fear.
