Chapter 239: Who's the 'Ten'

Gray Yuan's eyes were full of hostility, but Belmode only thought her funny: "Little friend..."

"If you want to snatch your boyfriend from your sister, you're a little too tender."

Belmode gently touched Gray Yuan's head and smiled gently.

She showed a detached tolerance for children.

But Gray Plains stubbornly turned his head away, and broke free of Belmode's hand very unappreciatively:

"Humph! Old woman! ”

"You little ghost..."

Miss Grayplain's poisonous tongue successfully hits Belmode's soft underbelly.

She smiled and increased the strength of her strokes of Gray Yuanai's head, turning Gray Yuanai's smooth and beautiful brown hair, which was also Belmode's most hated, into a chicken nest.

"Alright, alright..."

Seeing that Miss Gray Yuan's glasses were almost taken off by Belmode, Lin Xinyi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away his two grumpy "girlfriends".

"It's time for us to go."

Lin Xinyi took Belmode's hand and wanted to take her away quickly.

Gray Yuan Wai looked at his small mouth and looked a little depressed.

This depression is real.

Because she knew that as long as Belmode was there, she wouldn't be able to see her boyfriend again.

Lin Xinyi left, and I don't know when the next contact will be.

Moreover, there is that dangerous woman here, and no one knows... The next time they know each other's news, will they still be safe?

"Don't be angry~"

The depression in Gray Yuan's heart had just surged, and he felt a warm big hand stretched out above his head:

"Xiao Ai, don't listen to her..."

Lin Xinyi said to her in a childlike tone and very seriously:

"You're my girlfriend."

"Hmm..."Gray Yuan Wai replied softly, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The smile is real, too.

...............................

Bidding farewell to his girlfriend and walking out of the door of Dr. Asasa's house, Lin Xinyi's mood was still a little heavy:

He didn't know if the gray plain mourning had been exposed just now.

But Conan must have been noticed.

After all, Belmode had already asked him so directly about Conan's situation.

And if she really continues to investigate... Conan's fake identity will be exposed sooner or later.

"Shinichi."

Belmode suddenly interrupted Lin Xinyi's thinking:

"I just heard from Mr. Maori that you are still on a trip with them?"

"Hmm..."Lin Xinyi suddenly became alert:

Why is Belmode still concerned about travel?

Is it because of Xiao Wai... Is it because Xiao Ai caught her attention, and she went on a trip with Xiao Ai, so Belmode became suspicious?

"I was just idle and wanted to take a short vacation, and Miss Mori was going to a hot spring in Tochigi Prefecture, so I went with him."

"And that little guy from Gray Plains has to come along... I can't help it. ”

He grimaced and explained to himself in a calm tone.

Belmode, on the other hand, squinted his eyes slightly and asked meaningfully:

"Really... Did you really go on vacation because you were idle? ”

"Are you sure it's not because of someone that you're going to travel to the hot springs?"

Lin Xinyi's scalp was numb for a while:

Oh no, listening to this, is she really doubting her relationship with Gray Plains?

In other words, even though he was wearing glasses, he was still recognized by Belmode?

Lin Xinyi is struggling with tension, and at this critical moment...

Maori Kogoro, who had just sold him with a big mouth, suddenly came to his side and helped him with an assist:

"Hmph... Lin Xinyi, this stinky boy! ”

"It's annoying to say..."

"This guy had to go on a hot spring vacation with my daughter for no reason."

"I thought he had some thoughts about Xiaolan..."

"I didn't expect that he already has a girlfriend as beautiful as you, Miss Chrissy."

As he spoke, Maori Kogoro patted Lin Shinichi on the shoulder with three points of regret and seven points of dissatisfaction:

"I'm still quite satisfied with you kid..."

"I said... If you have a girlfriend, you should keep your distance from Xiaolan! ”

"That's misleading!"

"Uh..." Lin Xinyi didn't react yet.

I saw Belmode looking at himself quietly with a slightly helpless gaze:

"Shinichi, this won't work."

"Don't bother Miss Maori like this in the future."

Lin Xinyi: "......."

The co-author Belmode didn't care about Gray Hara's mourning at all, but was worried that he was getting too close to Miss Maori and bringing Miss Maori to ruin, as before.

"Wait..."Lin Xinyi suddenly reacted.

He realized that his earlier worries might have been a little unnecessary.

If Belmode cares so much about Maoliland, and even cares about it so much that he is reluctant to let him, his "own son", approach him...

The fact that Conan is Shinichi Kudo, maybe you don't have to hide it from her.

Not only don't you have to hide it from her...

In a sense, after all the secrets are exposed, this can even become a bargaining chip for yourself to blackmail her.

For example, if Belmode doesn't help him keep the secret that "Miyano Shiho is still alive", he even takes action to assassinate Ash Hara.

Then he threatens Belmode, saying that he will tell Gin about Kudo Shinichi and Moriran.

It's like sending a civilized broadcast signal to a universe like a dark forest...

Everyone will die together, and no one will live.

This crazy and bold idea suddenly popped into Lin Xinyi's mind.

"No, it's not enough..."

He cooled down the crazy thought in time:

"The signs that have been observed now are not enough to determine how deep Belmode's 'love' is for Miss Maori."

"We have to find a way to find out the true weight of Miss Maori in her heart for this 'balanced deterrence' to be successful."

"So, how do you try to find out Belmode's sincerity..."

Lin Xinyi couldn't help but have a headache:

The woman was like a one-way glass in an interrogation room.

She can always see through others, but others can't see through her at all.

Lin Xinyi was thinking about the method of testing Belmode, and at this time, Maori Kogoro came to his side again:

"Boy, I figured it out!"

"What comes to mind?" Lin Xinyi asked casually.

"Ten!" Mori Kogoro's gaze was extremely sharp: "I thought about who that friend with 'ten' in his name was!" ”

"Oh?" Lin Xinyi was slightly stunned, and his attention quickly returned to this bizarre case: "Uncle Maori, who will that 'ten' be?" ”

"Miss Towako!"

"I know a Miss 'Ten' and she has a Ten in her name!"

"And who is this Miss Towako?" Lin Xinyi was a little curious.

"It's Mama-san from a nightclub in Ginza!" Kogoro Mori said with a serious expression, "I've been to her nightclub a few times before, and she even entertained me herself!" ”

"......" Lin Xinyi was speechless for a while.

"Nightclubs...", he knows very little about this corrupting social atmosphere: "Is the mother Sang I met in the nightclub also a friend?" ”

"Uncle Maori, are you sure you have a good relationship with her, and you have frequent correspondence, and many people know about your relationship with her?"

The murderer attacked three times in a row all of Kogoro's acquaintances.

According to the current facts of the case, the murderer's motive should be to hurt Kogoro Kori in order and take revenge on Kogoro.

In this case, a woman who met in the Fengyue venue was not a frequent contact and a deep enough friendship... Will it really be chosen as a target by the murderer?

Lin Xinyi couldn't help but raise such a question.

And Maori Kogoro thought about it for a while, but finally shook his head a little embarrassed:

"It's like... Not very familiar either. ”

He had indeed been to that nightclub a few times before, and he had a familiar face with that Miss Towako.

However, the cost of the Ginza nightclub is very expensive.

His detective agency has not been improving, and the rent income is often used by him to bet on horses and lose, and he wants to go to a nightclub to enhance his relationship with Miss Towako, and he can't take out the money in his pocket.

In addition, Xiaolan has become more and more like her strong mother recently...

Maori Kogoro has always been watched to death, and he has never had the opportunity to go to a nightclub to be chic.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Miss Towako..."

"In this way, the possibility of the murderer targeting her is indeed relatively small."

After careful analysis, Mori Kogoro himself didn't think that Miss Towako would become the target of the murderer.

And Lin Xinyi continued:

"For the sake of safety, I'll still explain the situation to the Twilight Police Department and ask him to send someone to protect that Miss Towako."

"But, Uncle Maori, I want you to think again..."

"Of those people you know, are there any other people who have 'ten' in their name?"

"Imagination can be less limiting."

Lin Xinyi couldn't help but think of the concubine aunt who was also attacked:

There is no number in her name at all, but the word "concubine" can be related to "Q", so she was forcibly counted by the murderer.

The "eleven" in Dr. Asasa's name is also taken out of the word "shi".

According to this dismantling method, the "Shi" can be split into "ten" and "one", the "two" can be dismantled in the "Kasa", the "three" can be dismantled in the "Bo", and it is not a problem for Dr. Asasa to take four arrows in his ass.

It can be seen that the murderer in order to be able to make a straight... Inevitably there will be some far-fetchedness.

"So the name doesn't necessarily have the word 'ten', and the 'ten' may just be a radical taken out of a certain character."

"Or, it's a homonym of the name like 'ten'."

Lin Xinyi put forward all kinds of speculation ideas.

Mori Kogoro thought about it along this line of thought, and soon came up with an answer:

"Yes, I do have a friend who has a ten in his name."

"Hiroki Tsuji, this is a friend I met on the golf course."

"Hiroki Tsuji..."Lin Xinyi thought for a while and tried to ask, "How is the relationship between you and this Mr. Tsuji?" ”

"Very good."

Mori Kogoro's tone was a lot firmer:

"He's a professional baseball player, even though he's a lot younger than me and a lot bigger than me."

"But the two of us surprisingly talked very well, and we can be regarded as good friends."

"Is that so..."

Lin Xinyi stopped in front of the police car:

"Then let's talk to Mr. Tsuji now."

"He could be in danger."
