Chapter 40 You are different"It's time to leave." Su Beixun took off his hospital gown and put on his original clothes. The police have already left after the investigation and will not be back in the short term, so now is a great opportunity to get away. This hospital is also located in Tokyo city, not too far from Beika-cho. You can take a taxi and get back home in about an hour. After sorting the things that needed to be prepared and putting them into the space, Su Beixun sat on the newly bought sofa and looked around, feeling a little depressed. It’s so uncomfortable! This is a newly renovated house, and I haven’t lived in it for a few days. I probably won’t be able to come back in the future. Lying on the sofa with his eyes closed to calm his mind, Su Beixun remained calm and waited quietly for time to pass. At twelve o'clock noon, he was even in the mood to go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables, beef, and some red wine, and then go home to cook himself a curry. ding dong~ Doorbell rang.
Su Beixun frowned, turned down the fire, took off the thick gloves on his hands, walked over and opened the door of the house. Conan looked up at him from outside, and said in a tone of expectedness: "After I found you leaving the hospital, I knew you would come back." Ever since Kudo Shinichi's identity was exposed, he no longer deliberately behaves like a child in front of him. "come in!" Su Beixun looked at him for a moment, then moved aside to make room. Conan was skilled and bold, he walked in without any fear, and looked around subconsciously. This was his second time to Su Beixun's house, but the first time he came was very different from now. "Have you got a meal yet?" Su Beixun asked, and then said directly: "Sit down first, it will be ready soon." Conan frowned slightly. After a brief conversation, he felt that the other party was not normal today. He followed Su Beixun to the kitchen, stood aside and watched him stir the curry, and suddenly asked, "You seem to be worried about something?" "Oh?" Su Beixun didn't look at him. He scooped up some soup, tasted it, and squeezed out a questioning tone from his throat. Conan tried to organize his words and describe his thoughts: "When you saw me before, you were always that kind of... well, smiling, as if you didn't care about anything. But today you gave me the feeling that you were suddenly serious." "...You are so perceptive, great detective!" Su Beixun responded like this. He brought the curry to the table on a towel, put two bowls of rice on it, and motioned Conan to sit over. "Try it. I think it should suit your taste." Conan sat down opposite him, but looked at the tabletop which was at eye level, kicked off his shoes and stood on it. He watched Su Beixun eating leisurely and always had a very strange feeling, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"What's the matter, Detective?" Su Beixun put the chopsticks aside and smiled at him, "Don't you like it?" Conan didn't say anything. He poured the curry on the rice and started eating. The soup is rich, mellow, cooked to the perfect temperature, and has a subtle hint of spiciness. Conan was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the other party's cooking skills would be so good... He always felt that this was incompatible with his painting style. After eating a few bites, Conan suddenly asked, "How did you convince Takahashi Ryoichi to help you?" After he looked at the scene, he realized from various details that Takahashi Ryoichi was definitely in the same group as Su Beixun, because he found traces of a person standing behind the cabinet for a long time - if he came to kill Su Beixun, he obviously would not stay behind the cabinet all the time. But Conan didn't understand why this happened. He knew Su Beixun wouldn't tell him, but he couldn't help but come to investigate out of curiosity. To his surprise, Su Beixun actually answered the question directly: "It's not persuasion, it's control." He picked up the chopsticks again, stirred the rice and soup, and explained: "Takahashi came to kill me yesterday because I discovered his true size when I was watching the rain...but I used hypnosis to control him and made him act according to my wishes." Conan was really surprised at this moment! It was not because of what Su Beixun said, but because he actually answered his question directly! Su Beixun ignored Conan's excited expression and said seriously, "Today only, no matter what you want to ask, I will tell you." There was a moment of silence... "why?" Conan really doesn't understand. Su Beixun felt very strange today. Compared to when he threatened him last night, he seemed to be a completely different person... What on earth happened? ! "Why……" Su Beixun propped up his face with his left hand and replied, "Because the background of Qiu Yeyuanmei who died yesterday is a bit troublesome for me, so I am not in the mood to tease you now." Conan became excited. He asked urgently: "So, you really know that the other party is pretending! Who is her real identity?" "She is the international superstar Chris Wynyard." Don’t they look alike, or did they have plastic surgery? Conan was surprised and asked, "How do you know she wants to kill you? And why does she want to kill you?" Su Beixun ate a few more bites before he said calmly, "The first question... I felt her murderous intent after dinner yesterday, so I hypnotized Takahashi Ryoichi to be prepared." This is not the truth, but it is not a lie either. If you insist that it is because [Disaster] saw her take action, then it seems abnormal. He paused, and showed the half-smile Conan was familiar with: "As for the second question... She wanted to kill me to protect you! Kudo Shinichi!" "She knows your true identity, and she knows that I know it too. She wants to kill me because she's worried that I'll tell others about it!" The excessive amount of information directly overwhelmed Conan's ability to receive information. what's the situation? How does she know my true identity? And...why protect me?
He was stunned, and finally came to his senses: "Protect me? But, but I can't..." He wanted to say that they were strangers to each other, but suddenly he remembered the other party's attention to Xiaolan and him yesterday, and he slowly stopped talking halfway. "who is she?" Conan firmly asked a question he had asked before, but Su Beixun understood what he meant. "Remember when you and Xiaolan went to New York to rescue a silver-haired killer? That was her." Conan was stunned, and recalled the rainy night in New York a few years ago... FBI, murderer, abandoned building, broken railings, and hands reaching out to save people... So, is she here to repay a favor? Chris Wynyard, the Silver-haired Killer, Akiyohara Mi... Su Beixun's words kept circling around in his head, making his mind a mess! He felt very strange now... For the first time, someone died because of him... Although he did not agree with Akiyoharami's act of killing people to silence them, this life was related to him anyway... Conan lowered his head and said in a heavy voice: "If I recorded this conversation, it would be irrefutable evidence that you committed a crime!" "It doesn't matter!" Su Beixun shrugged nonchalantly, "My peaceful life will soon be gone anyway, so even if I'm being hunted by the police, it's just icing on the cake." He laughed a few times and asked another question. "Kudo, do you know why I keep tolerating you to jump around me even though I know you want to send me to jail?" Without waiting for Conan to answer, he answered on his own. "Because...you are special to me!" What do you mean? Putting the heavy feeling of carrying a life in his heart, Conan clenched his fists, stared at him and said: "We have only known each other for a month, I don't think I treat you any differently!"
