A smile appeared on Conan's face unconsciously, and it was the kind of smile that he wanted to restrain but couldn't. It was very sinister.
He was still thinking about how to arrange for Hui Yuan Ai next, but he didn't expect to be so lucky that the killer arranged by the organization happened to be Hui Yuan Ai's brother-in-law.
Although Conan has never known Haihara Ai's brother-in-law before, and has never even met Haihara Ai himself, from the previous two incidents, it can be seen that the brother-in-law is a good person.
Once he rescued the seriously injured Hui Yuan Ai, and once he protected himself while hiding in a locker.
If this was a bad person, he could have killed the two of them directly in these two times, there was no need to beat around the bush.
Therefore, this person is someone he can trust, and he will definitely not hurt Hui Yuan Ai.
But the organization sent him to assassinate Hui Yuan Ai, which has a profound meaning.
On the one hand, the organization still doesn’t know that “Michael” has turned against him and still trusts this person.
On the other hand, the organization wants to take this opportunity to test "Michael's" loyalty. After all, the organization is likely to know about Haibara Ai's relationship with him.
Therefore, the most likely thing is that Bellmode first determined Shirley's identity, and then organized the assassination by "Michael", which could not only eliminate the traitor, but also test the person's loyalty.
Thinking of this, the smile on Conan's lips cooled down again.
This is indeed a dilemma. If you don't kill Hui Yuan Ai, you won't be able to explain it to the organization. Given the organization's behavior, both of them will die.
The most ideal situation is to ensure the safety of Haihara Ai while allowing the organization to maintain trust in Brother-in-law Xia.
It seems that things are not that simple and require careful planning...
In addition to this, Conan also wondered why Belmode told him this.
Another point is why Belmode did not hurt Xiaolan when Xiaolan used her body to protect Haiyuan.
Taking Gin as an example, the organization should be a group of cold-blooded killers with no sense of humanity. Whether the people around them are injured is not at all a consideration for them.
Could it be...
Conan's thoughts stopped abruptly and he laughed at himself.
As long as it is killing, no matter what the reason is, it is wrong behavior.
Although this is somewhat idealistic, what Belmode did certainly had nothing to do with being "right".
…
Matsumoto Ryohei's house in the suburbs, kitchen.
As Mr. Clock stopped the array of limbs hanging in the air, the operation came to an end.
This was a short operation, only lasting about ten minutes, but it gave Qin Zhibo a great shock.
Mr. Clock did not use human surgical tools, but simply relied on some special structures on the body to resew Belmode's severed limbs.
According to Qin Zhibo's observation, Mr. Clock secreted a green mucus, or "hyphae", from the front end of the arthropod.
The entire operation uses this unique mycelium as thread to suture bones, blood vessels, tendons, and skin in sequence.
During the suturing process, Qin Zhibo did not see the existence of "needle".
Only Mr. Clock fiddled with several of its red joints and started working at the same time. Several hyphae began to sew together, as if he was making an extremely delicate instrument. Every step was a micro-operation that was difficult for humans to complete.
After the operation, Mr. Clock put several groups of limbs into the darkness on the side of the suit and announced bluntly.
"it's over."
Qin Zhibo, who did not leave, stepped forward to check the results of the operation, and was shocked again.
I saw that Belmod's severed limb was almost perfectly stitched. There was a scar, but it was just a small flesh seam, a little thicker than a hair, but it was limited and almost undetectable.
The size of the scar suture depends on the fineness of the suture needle and the thickness of the thread. The smaller the scar, the more needles are needed and the finer the needle and thread.
According to incomplete statistics, Mr. Clock probably sewed thousands of stitches in the past 10 minutes, and several limbs were sutured at the same time, which was extremely efficient.
Mr. Clock's surgical skills are considered a type of racial talent and are enough to overwhelm any plastic surgeon in the world today.
"Doesn't this suture need to be removed?"
"Remove the stitches?"
Mr. Clock was obviously stumped by the new concept proposed by Qin Zhibo and did not understand what it meant.
So Qin Zhibo asked another way, "What else needs to be done later?"
"No, just wait for the internal wound to heal."
"Humans' self-healing speed is relatively slow, but with my bacterial fluid as a nutrient solution, it will theoretically be faster."
Qin Zhibo asked: "How fast?"
Mr. Clock: "I don't know. I have never treated such wounds for humans and have no experience in this area."
"Buzz..."
Although it has been sutured now, Qin Zhibo still dare not touch the injured area for fear that his foot will fall to the ground when someone picks him up.
However, Mr. Clock stretched out his hand and pulled Belmod's foot, but there was no change in the wound.
"As long as the hyphae are still there, it's impossible to separate them."
Mr. Clock's explanation dispelled Qin Zhibo's concerns, but it also made him a little more fearful.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org]
In the Mi-Go mine before, the two Mi-Gos that Qin Zhibo killed also had those things on them, green slime-like mycelium.
This thing is extremely hard when it sticks to MI-Go, like biochemical armor and is indestructible, but when separated it looks like slime.
If he didn't have a spray weapon to deal with Mi-Go, I might not be a match for this alien.
"Buzz..."
"Okay Mr. Qin, I have fulfilled my promise and stitched up her wound. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Although the operation has ended, Mr. Clock did not put the brain storage tube and other instruments into the box. It seems that if Qin Zhibo has nothing to gain, it will still take in Belmod's brain.
Qin Zhibo frowned, but decided to give it a try first.
Although Belmod has not woken up, and is unlikely to wake up in a short time, there is another way, which is the "soul search technique".
This is a kind of magic. Qin Zhibo also used it on Hui Yuan Ai, which can check the memory of the target.
However, what Koizumi Hongzi teaches is a degraded version of the Soul Searching Technique, and she only knows this.
The degraded Soul Searching Technique cannot check the opponent's memory at will, and there is a high probability that what it sees is only the most recent memory.
Although it is almost impossible to find out Belmod's memory about the Panest fragment, you can at least pretend to see what Belmod did when he left, and then find a way to deal with Mr. Clock.
"Let me try it first..."
Qin Zhibo did not confirm to Mr. Clock.
He put on the magic extractor, pretended to walk to Belmod's head, and rubbed his temples with both hands, as if he was giving Belmode a blowjob on his head.
In fact, the soul search process does not require any complicated rituals. It is just to show Mr. Clock that aliens’ minds may be easily fooled by things in the clouds and fog.
After making a series of strange gestures on Belmod's head, Qin Zhibo put his hand on her forehead and began to search for her soul.
Closing his eyes, the images from Belmod's memory appeared in his mind.
First, he opened his eyes and directly saw a mouse licking the wound on Belmod's knee. There was no memory fragment about how the shroud was untied.
Then Belmode lay on the sofa for a while, seemingly giving up the struggle, but suddenly started to act again.
She bit off the mouse's head and sucked its blood to regain her strength.
Then I got the jigsaw from the debris pile and started sawing the legs.
Seeing this, Qin Zhibo was very surprised that Bermod would do such a thing. After all, this kind of thing had only appeared in movies, and Bermod had almost no hesitation when he attacked him.
This reminds Qin Zhibo of a famous saying: Women should be more ruthless when dealing with themselves.
Afterwards, Belmod dragged his broken body out of the basement, came to the living room, and dialed the number of the Maori Detective Agency.
What do you mean "I" went to find them? Don't throw all the dirty water on me!
Is it easy for me to open a vest?
With the wave of favorability gained by sparing Conan at Xianqiao Station last time, the character image that was both good and evil was ruined by you just like that?
Of course, it was not her intention to throw dirty water on "Michael"'s head, Qin Zhibo could still see that.
It is even more impossible for her to hope that Conan can kill "Michael" to avenge herself.
All she cared about was Conan's safety, and she even cut off her foot just to warn Conan.
You are his mother!
It was beyond Qin Zhibo's imagination that Belmode cared so much about Conan's safety.
But the fact was right in front of him, and he had to believe it.
Could it be that because of the incident in New York, Conan's big bosses Kudo Shinichi and Maori Ran accidentally saved Belmod, so they were just out of gratitude?
Qin Zhibo had seen what happened in New York by looking at Mao Lilan's dreams, and guessed that the silver-haired killer who appeared later was probably Sharon in disguise.
If Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi hadn't saved her, there would have been no Belmod in the future.
But she repaid her kindness for this matter. Should we say that she repaid her kindness? Or did she still have some conscience left in her heart?
…
Qin Zhibo opened his eyes, took back the palm that was pressing on Belmod's forehead, and said calmly.
"There is no content about the Panest fragment in her memory..."
Mr. Clock showed no expression, just stroking the metal surface of the brain container, "It seems that I am the only way to make her speak."
Mr. Clock still didn't give up on his method, even if Qin Zhibo here was exposed.
But this is what Qin Zhibo has thought of a long time ago.
"Even if you put her brain into that thing, you won't be able to get the information you want."
Mr. Clock: "Why? Buzz..."
Qin Zhibo: "Didn't you say that the leader of the organization gave the Panest fragment to her in a way that she didn't even know?"
"In other words, she won't answer things she doesn't know at all, and your method won't work at all."
"Unless I deal with her, I will definitely get the half of the Panest fragment."
Mr. Clock did not answer immediately this time, seeming to be thinking about Qin Zhibo's statement.
After a while, it took the lead in making a "buzz" sound.
"Hmm... I think what you said makes sense."
Just when Qin Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief, Mr. Clock spoke again.
"But I hope you can get the half of the Panest fragment before me. My plan is to go to Enkai next week."
"That is to say, you must get half of the Panest fragment within this week."
Mr. Clock said these words expressionlessly, but Qin Zhibo felt a little chill.
It did not say what the consequences would be if it failed, but what is certain is that Mr. Clock must have his own backup plan.
This plan must be very detrimental to me, so I didn't say it out loud.
But now Qin Zhibo could only pretend not to know, and echoed: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a big surprise..."
…
With Qin Zhibo's guarantee, Mr. Clock did not stay for a moment longer, put away the brain storage tube, spread his wings and flew away.
Compared to Qin Zhibo, it should be closer to the Panest fragment, otherwise it would not even know about half of the Panest fragment.
It's just that for Qin Zhibo, the Panest fragment is still far away. After all, this is something that even Belmod doesn't know.
But one person must know this.
Qin Zhibo sat on the high chair next to the kitchen counter, crossing his hands in front of him until a plan came into his mind.
…
Carrying Belmode to a guest room on the second floor, Qin Zhibo injected some glucose into her to ensure the nutrients her body needed.
Next, Qin Zhibo put on the human skin mask of "Michael" and began to wait quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Belmode slowly opened his eyes.
The warm and soft lighting, the exquisite and soft mattress, all these are so unreal to Belmode's experience.
Her eyebrows relaxed at first, but then frowned nervously, realizing where the unreality of all this came from.
Under the shadow of a European-style floor lamp at the end of the bed, a figure with a backlight was leaning on a chair.
"you're awake?"
As soon as he heard this, Belmode was so excited that he wanted to sit up, but his body in an anemic state instantly lost strength and he had to lie back on the bed. He could only use the height of the pillow to see the person under the shadow of the lamp.
"Don't move around, your body still needs to be cultivated." The man under the lamp shadow said "concernedly".
This sentence made Belmode very surprised. When the word "rest and rest" came out of that man's mouth, it was like a fantasy.
But then, she noticed something even more bizarre.
Belmode suddenly opened one side of the quilt with force, revealing his sawed left leg.
I saw a human left foot completely connected to his calf.
This is!
Belmod looked in disbelief at the left foot that should have been lost but still existed, standing intact at the end of the bed.
Try to move your toes. Although the response is relatively slow and the amplitude is pitifully small, it is really moving!
"you……"
Belmode looked at the man under the lamp shadow with an expression of disbelief.
But the man didn't care about what was happening in front of him and just said indifferently.
