Chapter 42 Izumi Sakai begins to sing.
Lin Xiuyi didn't urge her, but quietly stayed with her until her emotions calmed down a bit before slowly speaking and patiently guiding her with his years of experience studying psychology.
The girl finally couldn't hold back anymore and tearfully recounted her ordeal.
Her name is Xiaotong. She dated her boyfriend Kishida in high school, but after entering university, Kishida fell in love with someone else and cruelly abandoned her.
Today was their first date, and she had intended to end everything here...
After listening to her story, Lin Xiuyi understood and told her several inspirational stories to gradually guide her to see things clearly.
It's incredibly foolish to give up the rest of your life for someone who isn't worth it.
As Xiaotong listened to his words, her expression gradually relaxed, and the determination in her eyes faded considerably.
At this moment, Xiaotong's companion came over. She wiped away her tears, thanked Lin Xiuyi, and left with her companion.
Lin Xiuyi frowned as he watched her retreating figure.
He felt that the name Xiaotong sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had heard it before.
……
On the other side, the Ferris wheel slowly descended, and Shinichi Kudo walked off with four children. Three of the children were surrounding him, chattering with admiration on their faces.
"Shinichi-nii is amazing!"
Ayumi tugged at Shinichi Kudo's sleeve, her eyes filled with adoration.
"Just now on the Ferris wheel, you actually guessed right away that I had candy in my pocket!"
"Exactly!"
Genta chimed in, still holding the unfinished snacks in his hand.
"They even guessed that Mitsuhiko brought comic books! That's amazing!"
"Is this the deductive reasoning ability of a great detective?" Mitsuhiko asked, his face full of admiration. "I want to become a great detective like Shinichi someday!"
Facing the three children's adoring gazes, Shinichi Kudo wore a smug expression, his chin practically pointing to the sky, while feigning humility.
"No problem, these are basic operations."
Xiao Lan shook her head helplessly, her eyes subconsciously searching for Lin Xiuyi's figure around her.
"What's wrong?" Ayumi noticed her unusual behavior and asked curiously.
"I know, Xiaolan must be looking for Dr. Lin!" Guangyan also looked around.
"Isn't that old man over there?" Shinichi Kudo raised his chin and pointed to the back of the crowd not far away.
The four children looked in the direction he pointed and saw Lin Xiuyi sitting on a bench with his arms outstretched on the back of the chair, looking up at the sky with a serious expression, as if he was thinking about something thorny.
"What's wrong with Dr. Lin?" Ayumi tilted her head in confusion. "Did he get angry because we didn't take him on the Ferris wheel?"
"They must have run into some trouble, right?" Mitsuhiko asked with some concern.
"Could it be because no one plays with him and he's sad?" Yuan Tai said innocently, stuffing snacks into his mouth as he finished speaking.
Shinichi Kudo frowned slightly, a hint of doubt creeping into his mind.
When we got on the Ferris wheel just now, Lin Xiuyi's expression was normal. How come he became so serious in such a short time?
Did something happen while they were riding the Ferris wheel?
Xiao Lan was naturally the most worried. She quickly ran towards the bench, and after reaching Lin Xiuyi's side, she gently tugged at his arm.
"What happened? You look terrible."
"It's Xiaolan."
Lin Xiu came to her senses and reached out to touch the girl's head.
"It's nothing, there's just something I'm not sure about, so I've been thinking about it for a little while."
Xiao Lan wanted to ask more questions, but seeing Lin Xiuyi's unwillingness to talk about it, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and just quietly stayed by his side.
"Hey, sir, we're all out having fun, don't spoil the mood with that grumpy face!"
Shinichi Kudo walked over with his three children and made a suggestion.
"We still have plenty of time, shall we go ride the roller coaster? I heard it's the most popular attraction in this park!"
"Yay! Roller coaster!" Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi cheered immediately, grabbing Ran's hand and trying to join the queue.
Lin Xiu noticed a flicker of interest in Xiao Lan's eyes, so he nodded and stood up.
"Let's go, I'll go with you."
Following the flow of people, the group quickly arrived at the entrance of the mysterious roller coaster. Just as they were about to buy tickets to go in, a commotion suddenly broke out not far away.
A group of people gathered together, pointing and whispering, as if something had happened.
"Something seems to have happened over there!"
Shinichi Kudo's curiosity was instantly piqued, and he immediately pushed through the crowd to get closer.
As a detective, he has never been able to resist such excitement.
The four children squeezed in as well, while Lin Xiuyi followed slowly behind, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings before she suddenly stopped.
Not far away, two men dressed in black trench coats and wearing black top hats were slowly walking into the entrance of the roller coaster.
One of them had waist-length silver hair, a cold expression, and an aura that kept strangers at bay.
Gin and vodka!
Lin Xiuyi's heart sank suddenly, and she instantly understood.
So today is the day the Conan world storyline begins!
The reason why the girl's name sounded familiar to him was because she was the murderer in the roller coaster murder case!
At that moment, a familiar melody suddenly echoed in Lin Xiuyi's mind.
"The wheel of fate keeps turning, but I will always wait for you. Why am I so fortunate? Every time I see the horizon, I feel a nameless sorrow..."
Lin Xiuyi strode into the crowd and, sure enough, saw Xiao Tong's figure.
She was facing off against a man, her eyes red.
There was a clear handprint on the right side of the man's face, indicating that he had just been slapped.
"Are you crazy, woman?"
The man covered his cheek, roaring angrily.
"How dare you hit me!"
The man's female companion also glared angrily, protecting him while scolding Xiaotong.
"What exactly do you want?!"
"Hitomi, what happened?"
A girl wearing round-framed glasses walked over, looked at Xiaotong with surprise, then at the man.
"You and Mr. Kishida...?"
"That's right! I had been dating this guy for several years before I went to college!"
Xiaotong interrupted her, her voice trembling with tears, yet filled with resentment.
"But after he went to university, he met Aiko and immediately abandoned me!"
As she spoke, she abruptly ripped off the pearl necklace from her neck and threw it violently in front of the man.
Pearls scattered on the ground, making a crisp sound, while a maniacal smile appeared on Xiaotong's face.
"This string of pearls was a token of our love he gave me. This tropical amusement park is where we had our first date!"
"I originally intended to kill him here with this pearl necklace!"
"What?"
The crowd gasped in surprise and took a few steps back, staring at Xiaotong with horrified eyes.
The man called Kishida was even more incredulous, backing away repeatedly: "You're talking nonsense! How could you possibly want to kill me..."
