Chapter 250: The Witch's Confession
Belmode's tone was extremely sincere.
That young and cold face did not affect her motherly brilliance in the slightest, and the love in her eyes was like a warm stream of water, flowing slowly and silently.
But Lin Xinyi was not moved at all.
Because he didn't know if the woman was acting or telling the truth.
Maybe it's only when she faces Maorilan that she shows her true side, right?
Lin Xinyi thought so in his heart.
What's even more worrying is that Belmode has long since discovered that something is wrong with him.
It's just that now it seems that she doesn't seem to have the heart to pursue this - and even, this unpredictable woman has reflected on her own mistakes in front of him.
"So..."
Lin Xin thought about it for a while, then met Belmode's loving gaze and tried to throw out the question again:
"Teacher, why do you attach so much importance to Miss Maori?"
"Hah..."Belmode smiled lightly, "What, are you jealous of Miss Maori?" β
"Teacher, I used to always care about her, which made you uncomfortable."
"Don't be kidding..."Lin Shinichi frowned and expressed dissatisfaction: "You show so much concern to Miss Maori, and even Shinichi Kudo, who is the enemy of our organization. β
"Teacher, shouldn't this give an explanation?"
This time, Belmode never changed the subject again.
In front of Lin Xinyi, she became very natural, relaxed, and frank:
"yes... There's no point in hiding it from you. β
"Because you and Miss Maori are angels from God."
She touched Lin Xinyi's head dotingly, although Lin Xinyi's height was no longer suitable for her to do so.
Lin Xinyi grabbed Belmode's restless hand with a cold face.
And Belmode only then straightened his face, and instructed him very seriously:
"Boy, you can't let anyone know about this."
"Especially gin."
"Oh?" Lin Xinyi suddenly came to his senses: "Why? β
"Because I'm really 'disobeying the organization' right now."
Belmode said what Lin Xinyi wanted to hear the most:
"And all this, if you want to start from the source, you have to mention my friendship with Yukiko."
"Kudo's mother?" Lin Xinyi was a little surprised.
"That's right," Belmode looked at him with a complicated look:
"You really don't remember, teacher, my original identity on the surface, right?"
"I..." Lin Xinyi was feeling nervous and embarrassed.
But Belmode's eyes showed apology:
"I'm sorry, you're the way you are, it's all my fault, teacher."
"It's too late to say anything..."
"And your lost memory, I will definitely find a way to help you get it back."
Saying that, without waiting for Lin Xinyi to answer, she told the past by herself:
"Yukiko is a big star, you should know that, right?"
"Actually, teacher, I'm also a..."
"No, it's two big stars."
Belmode reverted back to that light-hearted tone with pampering:
"Hollywood's actress 'Sharon', have you heard of it?"
"Hollywood's Sharon?"
Lin Xinyi was slightly stunned:
That "Ithinkitskarma", the result of retribution to his own home, and finally the international superstar who canvassed in the mourning hall?
Isn't it, is this my teacher?
This retribution will not be upon me, will it?
Lin Xinyi was shocked, but unlike the "Sharon Fornication" he thought of, Belmode gave a name he had never heard of at all:
"No, it's Sharon Wynyard."
In this regard, Lin Xinyi was only at a loss on his face.
And Belmode smiled slightly, laughed at himself and said:
"I'm really an old woman."
"But, Chrissy Wynyard..."
"You should have heard of this popular little Wenyard, right?"
"This is you, too?!"
Lin Xinyi couldn't help but be a little shocked.
"Haha." Belmode's smile was a little more proud: "Have you seen my movie?" β
"No... I look at Ott..."
"Well, when I watch TV series, there are always commercials you shoot in the middle."
Lin Xinyi replied honestly:
"And the advertising time is very long, which is quite annoying."
Belmode: "......."
"Well... In short, if you know the entertainment industry, you will know that Hollywood actress Sharon Wynard and actress Yukiko Kudo have been friends for many years. β
"I've known Kudo Shinichi since he was a kid."
Belmode spoke about his past with the Kudo family.
"So... That's why you care about Kudo and Miss Mori? β
"No, it's not that simple."
"Actually, I used to be quite annoyed by that little kid who always likes to find out other people's secrets."
She unceremoniously gave her best friend's child a bad review:
"But, a year ago..."
"Something happened in New York."
It turned out that a year ago, Belmode disguised herself as a wanted murderer and ran to line up with the FBI's Akai Shui.
As a result, she stole chickens and rice, but was chased up and down by the FBI.
In the process of escaping, she unexpectedly ran into Moriran and Shinichi Kudo, who were traveling in New York at the time.
And when Belmode accidentally fell down the stairs and almost fell to her death, it was the two of them who saved her life.
"So..."Lin Xinyi frowned slightly when he heard this: "You attach so much importance to Miss Maori, and even sacrifice your life for her?" β
It wasn't quite what he imagined.
After all, according to how much Belmode shows care about Maoriland...
If it weren't for the wrong race, Lin Xinyi would even suspect that she was Mao Lilan's long-lost biological mother.
And Belmode, as a high-level member of a criminal organization, would really be deeply moved by a life-saving grace and fall in love with a 17-year-old girl so desperately?
"It's hard to understand..."
"A cruel and ruthless guy like me would be touched by a little girl."
Belmode understood Lin Xinyi's doubts.
Looking up at Miss Maori, who was busy talking to her family not far away, she couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly:
"But that's what happened."
"She appeared in my dark life like an angel of salvation."
"Of course..."
Belmode moved his tender gaze back to Lin Xinyi:
"You too, Boy, you're all the best things in my life."
I see...
Lin Xinyi finally understood Belmode:
Her transformation did not happen overnight, she was not saved by Mao Lilan, and she suddenly became a Buddha.
Even before she met Maolilan, she had already begun to struggle in the darkness in her heart for a long time.
This shows that Belmode's humanity has never been completely extinguished.
It's more likely to win her over.
"So..."Lin Xinyi asked tentatively, "Teacher, have you considered the organization?" β
"What would you do if the organization found out the truth and wanted to get rid of Miss Mori and Shinichi Kudo?"
This question gets to the bottom of the matter.
Belmode was silent for a long time before replying, "I won't let the organization know." β
"Is it that simple?"
"That Kudo Shinichi is still hiding in the shadows to investigate the organization, and sooner or later he will jump out and go against the organization."
Lin Xinyi did not give the other party room to escape the topic:
"If he is really discovered by the organization, the organization will kill Kudo, or even Miss Mori."
"What are you going to do, teacher?"
"Are you going to betray the organization to protect them?!"
Belmode's pupils shrank.
She obviously couldn't give a definite answer to this very sensitive question.
"I see..."
Lin Xinyi sighed deeply.
In fact, he was already able to confirm Belmode's love for Maolilan, and even vaguely believed that she loved him as much.
According to the current situation, as long as he uses Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi as bargaining chips, he should be able to force Belmode to let go of his hatred and help cover up the existence of the Miyano sisters.
But that's not enough.
Lin Xinyi wants more than just a dangerous strategic balance.
This balance is very volatile.
After all, if Belmode can't control his hatred no matter what, he is determined to attack the Miyano sisters.
Can Lin Shinichi really report it to Gin and finish it with Mao Lilan and Conan?
He would never have done such a thing.
The premise for the establishment of "nuclear deterrence" is that those who master it must have the determination to use "nuclear bombs."
Only if you really dare to throw it, others will be afraid-
If Belmode discovers that he is not religious, the situation can be dangerous.
So deterrence alone is not enough.
Lin Xinyi is still thinking about how to make Belmode really change his mentality and win her over step by step.
And to do that, Belmode had to confront the issue she avoided and make her choose between the organization and them.
"The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and now it is a bit of a rush to directly tell the plate."
Lin Xinyi didn't dare to imagine what the reaction of this Belmode teacher, who was so gentle and affectionate in front of him, would be after knowing that he was hiding the matter of organizing the "Golden House Hidden Jiao".
Will she turn her face with him because of this, or even do more radical things?
Therefore, with the last trace of vigilance, Lin Xinyi did not stage any heartfelt and frank scenes with her.
"We have to verify it furtherβ"
"Is she really willing to abandon everything in the past in order to protect us?"
