Chapter 99 The intersection of three lines
The rabbit meat sizzles in the hot oil.

Su Beixun turned it over with a spatula and sprinkled it with cumin and salt.

Even though he hadn't held the handle of a pot for a long time, his movements didn't seem unfamiliar at all.

Soon, the rabbit's skin was fried crispy.

Su Beixun put it on a plate and placed it in front of Jiang Shouhuang.

"Let's eat. It's just the two of us tonight."

Jiang Shouzhezhisuke and Jiang Shouyi have not returned since they went to the bank this morning.

The fat boy held the chopsticks, but he couldn't put the meat into his mouth after several attempts.

He looked at the food on the plate.

The fragrant rabbit, in his eyes, was the bright red flesh exposed to the air after he had peeled off its fur.

Jiang Shouhuang lost his appetite when he thought about pulling the rabbit and peeling it whole.

"...Can I not eat the rabbit? I really can't swallow it."

He made a bitter face and acted like a spoiled child.

Since he slept in Su Beixun's arms all night yesterday, Jiang Shouhuang was still wary of Su Beixun, but he had slowly come to believe that he was good to him.

A bad guy who is very good to himself.

That's how he sees it now.

So, even though he was asked to skin and pull out the tendons of all the rabbits today, Jiang Shouhuang still tried his best to complete it.

Of course, the aftereffects are not small.

"You really don't want to eat it? My cooking skills are pretty good."

Su Beixun cut the rabbit into two halves with a knife and fork, then brought one part in front of himself. After tasting it briefly, he thought it was still above standard.

But Jiang Shouhuang firmly refused.

"Well, I'll ask the maid to make some more food... What do you want?"

Jiang Shouhuang thought about it and said seriously: "I don't want to eat meat, vegetarian food is best!"

"Ha, this is the first time I've seen you eat vegetarian food in the few days I've been at Jiang Shou's house."

Su Beixun burst out laughing.

He reached out and pinched the fat boy's soft cheeks: "Don't lose weight, being chubby is so cute."

Jiang Shouhuang blushed and stammered, "I...I think so too."

squeak~

The door of the villa suddenly opened.

Jiang Shouyi and Jiang Shouzhezhisuke walked in from outside.

The old man frowned when he saw the scene in the living room.

But Jiang Shouyi was comforted by this heartwarming scene - a happy family, friendly brothers, this was the scene he had been dreaming about these days.

"Grandpa, Dad, you're back!"

The little fat boy jumped off the bench to greet them.

Seeing the long-lost smile on his grandson's face, Jiang Shouzhezhisuke also forced a smile in response.

The four of them sat back down at the table, but there was an eerie silence.

After Su Beixun had finished his meal, he left first: "Enjoy your meal, I'm going back first."

"and many more!"

A cry.

Su Beixun turned around and looked at Jiang Shouzhezhisuke calmly.

Jiang Shouzhezhisuke had a complicated expression: "Can we chat?"

"of course."

Jiang Shouzhezhisuke put down his chopsticks: "Please follow me."

Amid Jiang Shouhuang's confusion and Jiang Shouyize's worry, he led Su Beixun to the study on the third floor.

This was a house with a brown-red hue. Su Beixun was not unfamiliar with it because he had secretly been here with a bug installed.

After closing the door, Jiang Shouzhezhisuke was the first to ask: "What do you want to do?"

Su Beixun did not rush to answer.

He walked to the window, stood by it and looked up.

The night sky is bright tonight, full of shining stars.

He opened the window and a fresh breeze blew in.

"I don't understand you."

Seeing that he didn't care at all, Jiang Shouzhezhisuke became more and more angry: "You want to destroy Xiao Huang, right? I heard from the maid that you have been forcing him to do that kind of thing these days..."

"He is a child, not a toy for you to do whatever you want! Don't teach my grandson your perverted ideas! I don't want him to become like you..."

He paused and said nothing more.

"A twisted lunatic like me?"

Su Beixun finished for him: "There's no need to consider me. Even if I really want to kill you, it won't be for such a small matter."

Jiang Shouzhezhisuke was so angry that he almost laughed! How could he say such shameless words so frankly!

He didn't want to argue anymore and went straight to the point: "Don't get close to Xiao Huang again!"

"why?"

Jiang Shouzhezhisuke snorted coldly: "Don't play dumb here! Make my grandson collapse, then take advantage of the opportunity and make him dependent on you... Do you think I am Jiang Shouyi, a fool who only has house games in his mind, and I can't see this simple method?"

He gritted his teeth: "Su Beixun, you are really despicable!"

Su Beixun laughed.

Then she turned to him and said, "It's just because I treat him well, true love for true love...you think too dirty."

"Very good?!" Jiang Shouzhe's eyes widened, and he wanted to smash his dog's head with the crutch in his hand: "Wrapping poison with a layer of sweetness and then forcing others to eat it, you call this good?!"

"At least it's sweet, isn't it?"

Su Beixun said softly.

His voice was like the night breeze, calm and yet bone-chillingly cold.

"No matter how deadly the poison is, he can only taste sweetness from beginning to end... This is also happiness."

Jiang Shouzhezhisuke clenched his fist.

"So be it."

Su Beixun supported himself with his right hand and jumped onto the windowsill: "If you really can't accept it, call the police... maybe the police can drive me away."

Jiang Shouzhezhisuke said nothing, but stared at him coldly.

"Look." Su Beixun stretched out his hand, "It's you who don't want to use the bargaining chips."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Shouzhezhisuke said, "What if I beg you?"

"what?"

"What if I, the culprit who caused you to lose your parents, kneel down and beg you? If you hate me, feel free to take revenge on me, but Xiao Huang is innocent, I hope you can let him go."

Su Beixun looked at Jiang Shouzhezhi with curiosity: "To be honest, Mr. Jiang Shou, you really surprised me."

"In my opinion, you are definitely not the kind of person who would go to such lengths for the sake of your family... As expected, no matter how much you put your own interests first when you are young, you will always be soft-hearted towards the younger generation when you are old."

Jiang Shouzhezhisuke ignored his ridicule and just looked at him and asked, "...Is it okay?"

"No."

Su Beixun smiled, revealing his fangs on both sides.

"I said it on the plane. I don't care about Jiang Shoujia at all, and I don't have any hatred towards him... Your apology has no value to me. It is far less important than Jiang Shouhuang."

After saying this, he didn't give Jiang Shouzhezhisuke another chance to speak.

Su Beixun looked up and fell out of the window!

The falling wind made the hem of his clothes rustle, and the starry sky in his eyes expanded rapidly, accommodating more light and making his pupils brighter.

As he fell to the second floor, he stretched out his hand and flipped over through the window of his room.

In the study, only Jiang Shouzhe's assistant was left, with a struggling look on his face, sitting still like a sculpture.

##
Just when Su Beixun was having a relatively pleasant conversation.

Conan, who was far away in Beika Town, was not having such a smooth life.

In other words, his experience tonight was simply terrible!

First, he was told by the brown-haired girl who had transferred to his class today - APTX4869, that was the name of the drug he took that made his body smaller, and it was developed by her herself.

Then, he was shocked because she was a codenamed member of the organization. Then, he heard that she was currently living in the doctor's house, and he was worried that the doctor had been killed, so he ran back.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

After a series of unpleasant conversations, Conan agreed to let the girl, now called Haibara Ai, stay here.

Wait for everything to settle.

Conan couldn't wait to ask: "What do you know about that organization? Tell me quickly!"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know much."

Huiyuan closed the magazine and said, "I only know that it is a huge monster hidden in the darkness. What is exposed is just the tip of the iceberg. We can't shake it with our strength alone... So, I advise you not to seek death. It is safer to live as a child."

"Are you kidding me?!"

Conan couldn't accept it: "If you keep running away, you won't solve any problems at all! Besides, isn't this the same as pinning your life on the enemy?"

Pause.

"and……"

He thought of Xiaolan, who already knew his identity but never asked any questions, and his expression became more and more determined.

"Besides, there are people waiting for me to come back!"

"is it?"

Huiyuan looked at him: "I don't understand your feelings. However, if you need, I can try to research the antidote."

Hearing this, Conan immediately became excited: "Really, Huiyuan! Can you make the antidote?!"

He missed his high school body so much!

But Huiyuan poured cold water on him: "It's just a possibility. After all, there is such a huge amount of information about medicine, and there is nothing here."

Hearing this, Conan immediately became discouraged.

But Huiyuan changed the subject again: "But then again, I remember that one time my sister sent me some photos of her travels, and I sent them back to her after reading them. But afterwards, I couldn't find the floppy disk with the drug data..."

"I see." Conan perked up again: "The floppy disk is likely to be sandwiched among the photos you sent back... As long as we go to your sister's residence to search..."

"it's useless."

Huiyuan held up her chin.

After my sister died, her apartment was reclaimed by the organization, and all her belongings should have been disposed of. But..."

She thought for a moment and said, "The person who helped my sister process the photos was a teacher who traveled with her. Maybe there are backup copies of the photos there!"

"Do you know who that teacher is?"

"Professor at Nanyang University, Masami Hirota."

Conan, who got the clue, couldn't sit still: "Let's go ask now without delay!"

"no!"

Huiyuan refused decisively.

Glancing at Conan, she said, "I've taken a lot of risks going to school to see you today, and I don't plan to go out for the rest of the time... I advise you to take a leave for the time being."

"……Why?"

Huiyuan explained: "Because now there are people from the organization everywhere in Japan... They have mobilized all the forces in the world! Today in Beika Town, I saw two familiar peripheral members near the school alone."

"So exaggerated?" Conan was shocked: "Is the organization coming to find us?!"

"Thinking too much."

Huiyuan rolled her eyes.

"The organization doesn't take us that seriously... What they did was for an artificial intelligence called Noah's Ark."

"Noah's Ark? Artificial intelligence?"

"Yes." Huiyuan spread his hands. "But I don't know much about it. I only know that it is the result of research by the American Sindorah Company. It is said to be a miracle that is half a century ahead of the times. The boss of the organization personally issued an order to obtain it at all costs."

Sintra Company?

Conan looked at Dr. Agasa: "Doctor, can you help me check this company? Or ask your acquaintances in the United States."

In fact, his father lives in the United States and should know more. Conan really couldn't bear to disturb Kudo Yusaku who was still working hard to recover.

"Got it Shinichi."

The hardworking Dr. Lao Huangniu immediately turned on the computer.

After a moment, he said, "This Sindor Company is an American software company that focuses on games. However, judging from its past, it doesn't seem to have any outstanding technology, and it is not well-known... Did I find the wrong company?"

Huiyuan leaned forward to take a look: "No, that's it... Look, there's also the news footage of the attack half a month ago - this was done by the organization."

She added: "As for the lack of success, it was because they deliberately concealed the news, hoping to create a virtual game before making a splash... Unfortunately, they failed at the last minute."

"How did the organization get the news?"

Conan is very perceptive: "Will they send undercover agents specifically to the game company? Moreover, it seems to be just a third-rate company on the surface."

Isn't this too idle?

"It is said to be related to a man named Su Beixun."

Huiyuan thought for a moment and said, "But I don't know much about him. This is just news I heard by chance. I don't know any more details."

Done.

She suddenly noticed that the doctor and Conan were stiff and their eyes were wide open.

Huiyuan was confused and asked: "...What happened to you?"

"Su Beixun? Are you talking about Su Beixun?"

Conan came to his senses and rushed forward to hold her shoulders.

This was the first time he heard news about the other party after so many days since returning from Hokkaido.

"Oh, you look like you know him."

Huibara slapped Conan's hand away: "However, I only know his name. If you want to ask for specific information, I can't help you."

Conan asked: "Then... you should know whether Su Beixun is a member of the organization or not!"

"No."

Huibara said: "On the contrary, he is in a hostile relationship with the organization... He killed an important member of the organization. I heard that Gin even specially hired someone to kill him, but the result seemed to be a great loss."

She warned: "Well, no matter what, there are not many people who can make Gin afraid... Although I don't know what your relationship with him is, it's best not to get involved with him anymore."

Don't get involved?

How can this be……

He still has a big account to settle with the other party!
Conan asked: "In other words, it was Su Beixun who discovered Noah's Ark first, and because the organization was hostile to him, they also discovered this thing during the investigation?"

"That's it for now."

"Then, Su Beixun should want this too."

"how could I know."

Huiyuan was a little curious: "Why do I feel that you care more about Su Beixun than the organization?"

Can I not take it seriously...

Conan smiled bitterly.

If two clues pointing to the organization and Su Beixun appeared at the same time, he would definitely follow the one leading to Su Beixun without hesitation!

But he couldn't explain the grudge between him and Su Beixun in a short time, so he didn't answer Huiyuan and asked the most important question: "What is the function of Noah's Ark?"

"I don't know. My major is biology, which has nothing to do with programming." Huiyuan said, "But it must be amazing that the organization has gone through so much trouble."

After saying that, she frowned at Conan who was eager to try: "Why? Do you want to get involved too?"

Conan said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't refute, Huiyuan almost laughed angrily: "Great Detective, isn't what I said clear enough? This is something that everyone in the organization is paying attention to. This is not a stage for you to be a hero!"

"Doesn't this further prove that Noah's Ark is extremely important? We certainly can't let it fall into the hands of the organization!"

Conan defended himself.

But what he didn't say was that compared to the organization, he was more afraid that Noah's Ark would fall into Su Beixun's hands.

Although he didn't know what it was used for, the more Su Beixun wanted it, the more Conan didn't want him to get it.

Otherwise God knows what he will do!
Huiyuan sneered: "It's easy to say, this is a life-threatening matter... Even if we take a step back and intervene, do you know where Noah's Ark is now? Even if you know, can you say you can snatch it from the siege?"

Conan paused.

Huiyuan sighed.

"So, you should just stay as a child. This is not something we can control."
