Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Lin Xiuyi understood. After graduating, Noah was actually working for the Black Organization!
Those so-called "human experiments" were actually research projects of the Black Organization.

Sharon, as Vermouth, a member of the Black Organization, appeared here late at night, and her purpose was self-evident.

Sharon was equally shocked; she never imagined that Lin Xiuyi would be living in the home of her mission target!

Just then, Mr. Brian's voice came from the bedroom as he fumbled for his slippers, followed by Mrs. Brian's questioning voice: "Darling, what's wrong? Is something happening outside?"

Clearly, the elderly couple would be coming out soon.

Sharon's delicate brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

She had originally planned to do it while the elderly couple was asleep, completing the task without leaving a trace, but now not only had Lin Xiuyi discovered it, but the elderly couple had also woken up.

Should we continue with the mission?
Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly saw Lin Xiuyi wink at her. Then he let go of her hand, got up from the ground, and quickly walked upstairs.

Sharon glanced at the half-open door to Brian and his wife's bedroom, then at Lin Xiuyi's retreating figure disappearing down the stairs, and struggled with her thoughts for a moment.

In the end, she gave up the idea of ​​continuing the mission, quickly got up from the ground, and followed Lin Xiuyi.

Mr. Brian, still in his pajamas, yawned as he walked out of the bedroom and looked around the living room with a puzzled expression: "Strange, I clearly heard something just now, but why is nobody here?"

He walked around the living room but found nothing unusual.

"Maybe it's because I'm getting old, and I've been through too much today, that I'm taking the noise in my dream as reality." Mr. Brian muttered to himself, shaking his head. He turned and went back to his bedroom, making sure the door lock was secure before lying down again.

Lin Xiuyi and Sharon, who were standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the bedroom door close.

"Come with me." Lin Xiuyi said sternly, turning around and walking into her bedroom.

He now had too many questions to ask Sharon: about Noah, about Lily, about the Black Organization, and about her purpose in sneaking in at night.

"Why should I listen to you?"

Sharon gave a defiant snort, but her body betrayed her and she followed Lin Xiuyi into the room.

She knew that the other party must have already guessed what was going on, and there was no way to avoid it.

Lin Xiuyi closed the door, turned around, stared sharply at Sharon, and asked in a cold voice, "Speak, what is the purpose of your visit here? Don't tell me you just stopped by to visit Mr. and Mrs. Brian."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Sharon avoided his gaze and tried to change the subject.
"How come you're staying here? Oh, right, you're here for a summer camp in the US. The school must have put you in a homestay, and you just happened to be assigned here. What a coincidence..."

"skillful?"

Lin Xiu interrupted her, her tone laced with sarcasm.
"Do you think this is a coincidence? Sharon, you're here to kill the Brians to silence them, aren't you?"

Sharon stiffened and remained silent.

Her silence said it all.

Lin Xiuyi looked at her and continued, "The Brians have a son named Noah, who is a medical genius, and a daughter named Lily, who is an ordinary high school student."

"Noah was murdered not long after he graduated and started working. The police said he was involved in a gang fight, but in reality, he was silenced because he refused to continue conducting human experiments for your organization, right?"

"A year later, Lily discovered the experimental documents left by Noah and tried to call the police, but you killed her too, and even made it look like she was robbed and murdered."

Lin Xiuyi's voice grew increasingly low, "You've already killed their two children, why won't you let these two old people go?"

"They're all so old, and they've lost all their loved ones. What threat could they possibly pose to you?"

"You really know a lot."

Sharon lowered her head, her long eyelashes concealing the emotions in her eyes, her voice slightly hoarse.

"As expected of a great detective, he has investigated the matter so thoroughly in just two days since arriving in the United States."

“Let them go,” Lin Xiuyi stepped forward and said sincerely, “They are all good people who have never done anything wrong in their lives and should not end up like this.”

"Are you giving me orders?"

Sharon abruptly raised her head, her eyes filled with displeasure. At this moment, she should be called Vermouth more.

"Lin Xiuyi, don't forget who saved your life in the auditorium during the day! Is this how you treat your savior?"

“I’m very grateful that you saved me during the day, but this shouldn’t be confused with the Brians’ situation,” Lin Xiuyi insisted. “They’ve already lost their son and daughter; they’re pitiful enough. We can’t let them suffer any more…”

"us?"

Vermouth sneered, interrupting him.

"Lin Xiuyi, don't forget, you and I are not on the same side at all!"

"What do you mean by all this? All I know is that my mission is to eliminate anyone who might pose a threat to the organization."

"If the mission fails, I won't be able to explain it to the boss above. In that case, I might be the one who dies!"

At this point, she bit her lip in annoyance.

"You did the same thing at the science museum last time! When you let the Miyano couple go, did you ever think about what would happen if my mission failed?"

"Have you ever considered what price I might pay for your 'kindness'?"

Seeing the grievance and anger in Vermouth's eyes, Lin Xiuyi suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He really hadn't thought about these things.

At the time, he was only thinking about preventing the Miyano couple from falling into the organization's hands and stopping Vermouth's evil deeds, but he overlooked the fact that she was also a member of the organization and what kind of punishment she would face if the mission failed.

"I'm sorry..." Lin Xiuyi's voice was low and sincere, "I really didn't consider your situation at the time."

"Hmph, is an 'sorry' all it takes?" Vermouth snorted angrily, turned around, and reached for the door. "Don't think that saying sorry will make me abandon the mission."

"Where are you going?" Lin Xiu asked instinctively.

"Where else can we go? Of course, we'll go complete my mission and kill that old couple,"

As Vermouth spoke, she opened the door, but did not immediately step out.

She thought Lin Xiuyi would step forward to stop her, but to her surprise, he stood still and didn't move!
This unexpected reaction made Vermouth feel somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

"I'm really going to kill them!"

Vermouth raised her voice, her tone tinged with a hint of defiance, clearly trying to force Lin Xiuyi to react... (End of Chapter)
