The smell of gunpowder in the air finally dissipated.

The corridor was not a convenient place to chat, and the group that had calmed down returned to Lin Xinyi's house and sat back at the dining table in turn.

But unlike the previous scene of everyone having dinner together, the atmosphere now seems a little weird.

The emotions in Belmode's aqua green pupils were full of complexity:

“Boy...”

"Why did you kill yourself?"

Belmode didn't suspect the revelation from Maolilan.

Because that Miss Maori has never been good at lying, if she had made it up on the spot, she wouldn't have acted so naturally.

And judging from the knee-jerk reactions of Conan and Gray Yuan Wai at that time, they all seemed to know that Lin Xinyi had committed suicide.

The most important thing, in fact, Belmode also knows in his heart:

Since Lin Xinyi dared to take the initiative to use fingerprints and DNA as evidence that cannot be forged for verification, the possibility of him being impersonated is almost none.

This is her child, and she can't fake it at all.

And as long as Lin Xinyi is indeed her child, she doesn't want to delve into the origin of the strange disguise technique that is said to have been learned from "a certain 'worldly master' friend of the strange thief Kidd".

Belmode's biggest doubt is why Lin Xinyi has amnesia.

And now, his amnesia and personality changes all have a reasonable explanation:

"Suicide... Why would you kill yourself? ”

Belmode throws up this heavy question again.

"This... I forgot about it too. ”

Lin Xinyi's expression was a little helpless:

"I felt like my brain was blank."

"When I came to my senses, I realized that I was standing alone in the cold river water—"

"It's as if the whole world has changed."

"I can't remember a lot of things before."

He really couldn't make up nonsense, so he had to "tell the truth".

He didn't need to make up the rest, and Miss Maori sighed and helped him round it:

"Sure enough... No wonder when we met Mr. Lin in the park, his spirit looked a little trance. ”

"Mr. Lin must have been too desperate when he committed suicide, so he was stimulated to lose his memory!"

The human brain is a complex thing.

Even in the absence of trauma, psychological factors alone can be enough to cause amnesia or even a split personality.

Lin Xinyi's performance of losing his memory under strong psychological stimulation and changing his temperament is very similar to suffering from psychogenic amnesia and intermittent personality separation.

For a while, everyone looked at Lin Xinyi with a sense of sympathy for the mentally ill.

"Lin... I'm sorry. ”

Gray Yuan's big eyes were full of guilt:

Her boyfriends are suffering from such a serious mental illness that she doesn't even know it.

She is so indifferent to Lin Xinyi, but Lin Xinyi still retains the instinct to love her deeply despite the loss of memory.

And why did Lin Xinyi commit suicide?

He told Belmode that he had "forgotten."

But Gray Yuan Wai knows very well that nine percent of Lin Xinyi's suicide was because of her.

Because she was dismissive of him for so many years and didn't notice the man's feelings for her.

"I'm sorry, it's all..."

Gray Yuan Wai was muttering to herself with emotion, but someone rushed in front of her:

"It's all my fault."

Belmode sighed deeply:

"Because I've been so brutally preventing you from pursuing her, it's why you're so conflicted and entangled."

"You'll almost forget about me as a teacher, but you still remember this woman..."

"Even, in order to save her, she was so bold that even the organization dared to deceive."

"Huh...", she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe the memory of me and the organization is the source of pain that you subconsciously want to erase the most, right?" ”

"I'm too much of a failure as a teacher."

"Uh..."Lin Xinyi was speechless:

In fact, he "forgot" about everyone, everyone is the same.

However, looking at Belmode's deeply touched and guilty appearance now...

Lin Xin thought about it for a while, and like a primary school student who dared to cower and say his final exam results while his mother was happy, he tentatively told more truths:

"Teacher, I have one more thing to tell you."

"Actually, not only Shiho is not dead, her sister... I was also secretly saved. ”

"She's now under my secret protection, and she's changed her face and lives with Chi."

Belmode froze.

She subconsciously wanted to be angry.

However, thinking that Lin Xinyi was once forced into the desperate situation of committing suicide by throwing herself into the river, she was like a gas stove that ran out of gas, and she couldn't get angry:

"You've really done a lot of things behind my back..."

"Sister Miyano, and Shinichi Kudo, all of them were protected by you from the organization, right?"

Belmode sighed helplessly.

Things have developed so far, and she has understood everything:

"And you're acting on this play to test which side I'll be on."

"You're gambling with yourself that I'm going to betray the organization for the sake of my feelings, and help you keep the truth hidden."

"That's right."

Lin Xinyi looked at Belmode with burning eyes:

"Teacher, what is your choice?"

At this moment, the air became tense again.

Everyone is waiting for Belmode's final statement.

Conan subconsciously clenched his fists, and Gray Yuan Ai instinctively leaned closer to Lin Xinyi.

Miss Maori, on the other hand, blinked her big watery eyes and launched an irresistible gaze at Belmode.

"What else can I choose..."

Belmode helplessly held his forehead and sighed:

"You little guys, it's my weakness!"

"I will not betray you to the Order under any circumstances and put you in danger."

"But..."

Everyone was rejoicing at her statement, but Belmode changed the conversation and interrupted the dangerous thought that came to everyone's mind in time:

"Don't expect me to help you fight the Order."

"I protect you because I want you to live safely, not because you want you to hit a stone with an egg and run to die!"

"Live well..."

"That's the only thing you have to do."

Belmore instructed earnestly.

Lin Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that if he could now convince Belmode to accept the fact that the Miyano sisters were still alive, the result would be satisfactory enough.

But Conan is still a little unwilling:

"But, Chrissy... No, Belmode. ”

"If we do nothing, don't we have to live in hiding and living in the shadow of the organization for the rest of our lives?"

According to Conan's thoughts, the next best step is to use Belmode, who has defected to Chengcheng, as a breakthrough point to conduct an in-depth investigation of the organization.

Belmode, however, completely disagrees with this dangerous plan:

"Don't underestimate the organization's half-century accumulation."

"Just a few of you little guys, even if I secretly respond, I won't be able to hurt a single hair of the tissue."

"Imp, do you want Miss Maori to be involved in another crisis?"

"This—" Conan was speechless.

Indeed, they are just a few people, and their strength is too limited.

He himself is not afraid of death, but he has to consider the safety of Maolilan, who has now been caught in the center of the whirlpool.

"And—" Belmode glared at Gray Plains intentionally or unintentionally, "I advise you not to try to call in any reinforcements. ”

"If you get involved with the FBI and the CIA, it may not end well."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Xinyi frowned slightly.

He didn't have a good impression of the FBI and the CIA.

After all, the bad things that these two departments have done combined, it is estimated that they will not be able to write a book.

But the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

In the matter of confrontation with the organization, since his own strength is too weak, Lin Xinyi has not considered cooperating with intelligence agencies such as the FBI and CIA.

"Huh." Belmode smiled slightly: "I said, don't underestimate the organization." ”

"When the power of the offender reaches a certain point, there will be no more legal constraints."

"So, don't be under the illusion that the FBI and CIA will be the messengers of justice in the movie, and as soon as they arrive, the criminals will be punished as they deserve."

"Maybe, in the end..."

"We're going to be 'co-opted' by them."

Lin Xin was speechless for a while.

He faintly heard the meaning of Belmode's words:

There is a perfect crime in the world.

But the perfect crime is not that the Metropolitan Police Department can't find out, but the Metropolitan Police Department knows who did it, and there is nothing it can do with that guy.

The FBI, the CIA, almost all have this legal license to commit a perfect crime.

And the slightly worse, not so perfect perfect crime, is like Belmode said...

The offender himself has great power, and as long as he bows his head and compromises and hands over his interests, he can escape the punishment of the law.

To give you a simple example...

"At the beginning, in order to secretly control the capital, the people of the United States could even acquit the war criminals of World War II."

"Even the most notorious 'Black Sun' unit was absorbed by them unscathed."

"And now the hidden power of the organization in Yuben is not at all inferior to those war criminals who survived the Tokyo trial."

"I am afraid that the righteous judgment you imagined will not come at all."

"The end of the story is nothing more than a dirty exchange of interests."

Belmode teaches the hot-blooded Conan a lesson in true and brutal history.

And she turned her head again and looked at Lin Xinyi meaningfully:

"Boy, don't forget..."

"Your little girlfriend is a very sought-after treasure in itself."

"This..."Lin Xinyi was slightly stunned.

In order to keep them honest and not cause trouble, Belmode may speak with a little exaggeration and intimidation.

But about the matter of Gray Plains' mourning, what she said is not unreasonable:

The stakes are immensely high for APTX4869.

It is impossible for the Mi Guoyan to let go of this kind of Kexue technology that transcends the times.

As the developer of APTX4869, Gray Yuanai's status is almost equivalent to von Braun, who built rockets for the first time, and it is impossible not to be targeted by the rice guys.

Her best ending is probably to study her APTX4869 in a laboratory in the United States for a lifetime under the surveillance of the FBI and CIA.

In fact, this is barely acceptable.

After all, the treatment of scientists by the rice countrymen will never be bad.

In that free country, those top scientists can have anything but no freedom.

But...

"Xiao Wai, she doesn't want to study any more APTX4869."

Lin Xinyi's expression was very serious.

He knew that Gray Yuan Ai was extremely disgusted with the study of such drugs that violated the laws of nature.

Looking at the little lady Gray Yuan beside him, he made a solemn decision:

"I see, teacher."

"We will continue to keep a low profile and not conflict with the organization."

"As for the FBI and CIA... I don't reach out to them. ”

"Good." Belmode nodded in satisfaction.

The negotiation was successful, she promised to help hide the truth in front of the organization, and Lin Xinyi also promised to stop there and stop playing with fire.

Business is almost over.

Maybe it's time to talk about something personal.

So, in this beautiful atmosphere of frank heart-to-heart and harmonious coexistence between the master and apprentice, Gray Yuan Wai couldn't help but ask coldly:

"Now that everything is clear."

"Then Belmode, you don't need to stay here anymore, do you?"

Belmode smiled.

She turned her head to look at Gray Plains:

The tea-haired girl had taken off her glasses to disguise herself, revealing a delicate face that was not unfamiliar.

"What, you want to drive me away?"

Belmode looked over sharply.

"This..."A drop of cold sweat oozed from Lin Xinyi's forehead.

Somehow, he always felt...

The smell of gunpowder in the air seemed to be stronger than before.
