Chapter 82: The suspicion that can't be washed away

Lin Xinyi still failed to get his 100 million in the end.

It's not that Director Baima is thick-faced and black-hearted, and wants to deduct this huge bounty.

This is mainly because the director of White Horse wants to keep the identity of the strange thief Kidd confidential for the time being, so it is inconvenient for the Metropolitan Police Department to allocate such a large amount of "unclear" funds on the books.

100 million will still be given, but it will have to wait until the day when the identity of the monster thief Kidd can be decrypted.

According to the promise of Director Hakuba, if Kidd's identity is not declassified for a long time...

That would delay for a year at most, and even if he made a false account, he would pay the bounty in full.

The case requires, and Lin Xinyi can only express his understanding.

Moreover, he felt that a year was not too long, and he could wait until then.

A year later, I should have almost figured out the secrets of the black-clothed organization, and if I get the 100 million yen, it shouldn't be a big problem to run away directly.

So, Lin Xinyi agreed to the payment plan of the director of Hakuba.

Then, in this interrogation room, Director Hakuba and Kuroba Kaito seriously discussed the specific details of cooperation.

Lin Xinyi was already his own person who knew this top secret, and he was not excluded from the discussion.

And in the process of auditing, he gradually confirmed...

The mysterious organization that Director Hakuba and Kuroba Kaito talked about is not the same as the organization he belongs to.

The core members of the gem-seeking organization are all codenamed animals.

And although Lin Xinyi doesn't know much about his organization, he at least knows Shirley, Gin, and Vodka, three characters with code names.

A little research on these three code names shows that their organization is a "winery", not a "zoo".

As for whether the winery is connected to the zoo, it is not for him to know.

In this way, in Lin Xinyi's silent observance, the secret transaction that happened in the interrogation room finally ended.

Kuroba Kaito was "acquitted".

After "clearing the suspicion", he quickly left with Aoko Nakamori.

On the other hand, Director Hakuba and Minister Odakiri directly came forward in their capacity as senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, announcing to colleagues and the media that the investigation had failed for the time being, and Kidd's arrest was still not completed.

Lin Xinyi has nothing to do:

He was supposed to go to the research institute to solve the problem of DNA identification, so as not to blame Kidd's identity and expose it in front of people because of the successful DNA comparison.

But Black Feather Kaito had already called to confirm after confessing his guilt:

Mr. Terai had successfully infiltrated not long ago and completed the interference with the DNA identification work.

He disguised himself as an appraiser and secretly turned up the voltage and current of the electrophoresis equipment while running the gel, destroying the DNA fragments on the porous gel.

So, just like a boiled bean can't sprout, this DNA test won't have any results at all.

Without Lin Xinyi to help with the fraud, Black Feather Kuaidou would have been able to escape.

"Let's just go home..."

"It's not early, go back to bed."

After two full days of catching thieves, Lin Xinyi was really tired.

And at this moment, on his way home...

Lin Xinyi was in the corridor of the Metropolitan Police Department building and met an unexpected old friend:

"Conan?"

"Why are you here?"

Yes, the Conan child I just met two hours ago has now appeared at the place where Lin Xinyi works.

Moreover, he still had a bandage on his head and a band-aid on his face, and he looked as if he had some new injury.

"How is this going on?" Lin Xinyi asked a little strangely.

"Lin?" Conan was also slightly surprised by such a chance encounter.

He settled down, and then explained:

"Because the 'guardian' is not there, Xiaolan is going to take me home and stay for a few days."

"As a result, when I went at night, Xiaolan's father suddenly received a commission that the chairman's daughter was kidnapped."

"I've encountered a case again..."Hearing this, Lin Xinyi was already able to complain in surprise: "Who did you kill this time?" ”

"Hey, hey... No one died this time! ”

"Anyway... I helped find the kidnapper, and then I was beaten by the kidnapper. ”

"What? And what about the kidnappers? Ran away? ”

"Don't worry, then Xiaolan came... The kidnapper is probably in the ICU right now. ”

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

Hopefully the kidnappers are okay.

"Anyway, I'm fine."

"Now Xiaolan and Xiaolan's father are still searching for a lesson to make records, and I will walk around the Metropolitan Police Department casually."

Conan explained methodically.

As he spoke, as soon as Lin Xin spoke, he couldn't wait to ask:

"Hey, Lin."

"What's the matter, how did I listen to the police officer in the corridor chatting and saying that Black Feather Kuaito has just been acquitted."

"Could it be that the two of us are wrong, and he really isn't the thief Kidd?"

"This..."Lin Xin hesitated for a while.

Although this matter is strictly to be kept secret from everyone, Kudo is his own person who participated in the whole case after all, so it should be no problem for him to know the truth.

"He's the thief Kidd." Lin Xinyi squatted down and carefully leaned into Conan's ear: "In short, the situation is more complicated, it is not convenient to talk in detail here, and then we will find a quiet place to talk slowly." ”

"Thisβ€”" Conan's eyes twinkled.

Even if Lin Xinyi didn't elaborate, based on the current situation, he could roughly guess the mystery behind it.

"It looks like Kidd made some deal with the Metropolitan Police Department."

"It's not my business, but..."

A touch of helplessness suddenly appeared on Conan's face:

"Lin, I was killed miserably this time."

"Did you know that my DNA samples were being tested at the same time... Now the news media are also thinking of me as a suspect in the Kidd case! ”

"Now that Kuroba Kaito has been officially acquitted, aren't those guys going to advocate some ridiculous argument that 'Kudo Shinichi is the real monster thief Kidd'?"

"Huh?" Lin Xinyi's expression was very embarrassed.

He hadn't watched the news since he rushed back to the Metropolitan Police Department, but he really didn't expect that public opinion would ferment in such a strange direction.

"Lin!" Conan gave a very serious look.

Although with his current appearance, not only does he have no aura like this, but it is ridiculous that a child pretends to be an adult.

But Lin Xinyi could still hear the urgency and helplessness in his voice:

"When will the Metropolitan Police Department help me clarify?"

"Right now, right now."

Lin Xinyi comforted with some embarrassment:

"Don't worry, the police will soon announce the failure of this investigation."

"Black Feather Kuaito isn't Kidd anymore, can you still be treated as Kidd?"

"That's not enough."

"Those who are engaged in the news are already deliberately hyping up the gimmick of 'the detective is the strange thief'."

"They won't care about the announcement issued by the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"And, think about it..."

"Kudo Shinichi was just regarded as a suspect in the strange thief Kidd, and then he 'disappeared' and disappeared from the world?"

"Doesn't this seem very suspicious in the eyes of those who have the intention of hype?"

Speaking of which, Conan's expression was already very depressed.

He is like a crab whose hands and feet are bound, and he is about to be steamed by the heat of the media, but he can't fight back at all.

"So, you have to have solid evidence."

"As long as there is evidence, those guys can be stopped, and 'Kudo Shinichi' is innocent!"

"And that proof is... My DNA assay. ”

Conan spoke the most hardcore evidence he was looking forward to.

As he spoke, he straightened the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes became sharp:

"As long as it is scientifically determined that I don't match the DNA of the thief Kidd, those media outlets that want to make big news every day should be stopped."

"The evidence is ironclad, and they can't help it if they want to spread rumors."

"So..."

Conan raised his head and looked at Lin Xinyi expectantly:

"Lin, have the results of this DNA identification come out now?"

"Uh..." Lin Xinyi's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

DNA Identification... I'm afraid it won't come out.

Because during electrophoresis, the porous gel with Kudo's Shinichi DNA sample and the porous gel with Kuroba's DNA sample were put together in the same instrument.

Huang Nosuke Terai secretly increased the voltage and current of the electrophoresis instrument, and naturally destroyed Kudo Shinichi's DNA and his young master's DNA together.

"Ahem... Let's do this..."

"There was something wrong with this DNA test."

Lin Xinyi's eyes fluttered for a while, and his expression was very strange.

"What do you mean?" Conan frowned.

"It means..."Lin Xinyi replied with an embarrassed expression: "Your suspicion can't be washed away for the time being." ”
