Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

3:30 pm

Doropica Paradise

Lin Jiayou followed the stubborn Cohen to the Ferris wheel in the park and started queuing.

Although Lin Jiayou didn't know why Cohen insisted on it, Cohen's daily "pampering" made Lin Jiayou decide to listen to him this time.

As for why they chose Dorobiga Park, it's because after visiting it last time, Cohen accurately determined that its Ferris wheel was the biggest and best.

When choosing something, you naturally want the big one; nobody likes small things, right?

And so, accompanied by Cohen, Lin Jiayou rode the Ferris wheel with him.

From the very beginning, Lin Jiayou could clearly sense that Cohen had changed again.

Just like before, his entire mood was different.

It gave Lin Jiayou the impression that he was in a completely empty state.

No wonder Cohen wanted to bring him to ride the Ferris wheel...

Lin Jiayou thought to himself.

For Cohen, the Ferris wheel is like the Fiji Bay for college students; just a short ride inside will leave you in a state of mental blankness after a brief moment of dazed disorientation...

This state is the best way to forget pain and forget everything.

“Cherry…”

Just as Lin Jiayou was pondering Cohen's motives.

Cohen spoke up.

His voice was slow and deep, completely devoid of its usual dullness, as if he were an old man who had experienced all aspects of life.

“I have no parents and grew up in an orphanage. I have always been a very introverted person.”

"I used to be very cowardly. When faced with bullying from those people at school, I didn't dare to fight back at all."

"And because of that, from elementary school through junior high and high school, I didn't have a single friend... except for her..."

"She is deaf and mute, born unable to hear or speak, just like me, and was not popular from a young age."

As Cohen spoke, the look of reminiscence in his eyes deepened, as if he were completely lost in his own memories.

His deep voice continued.

"I became friends with her."

"That day, she gave me a drawing of a Ferris wheel lit up with colorful neon lights. She said she would take me there..."

"But... I still couldn't wait for her."

"Finally, I found it in an abandoned ditch..."

At this point, Cohen lowered his head.

He was still wearing goggles, and Lin Jiayou couldn't see clearly how red his eyes were beneath the black lenses...

Lin Jiayou didn't ask Cohen how "she" died, nor did she ask what happened to the person who harmed her.

The former cannot be asked, the latter does not need to be asked...

Unless the killer is someone like Gin, but it's clear that people like Gin and Shuichi Akai wouldn't harm a deaf-mute girl.

"Later, I joined the organization."

Cohen continued in a deep voice,

"The organization is like a big family."

“No one dislikes me. I know my problems, and I know that everyone is caring about me in their own way.”

"Cherry, Chianti, tequila, gin, Calvados, vodka, Stout... and Sherry."

"You are all wonderful people, and I am so glad I met you."

"But Cherry, you know what...?"

Cohen's words took a turn; he slightly raised his head and looked out the Ferris wheel window.

Outside, the Ferris wheel's 'small cabin' has already passed its highest point and is slowly descending.

"After I joined the organization and avenged her, I would often go to ride the Ferris wheel."

"The first time, five months after she left, I was still able to draw her face clearly."

"The second time, six months later, I could still do it."

"But... three years later, I can only vaguely remember her outline; I can't remember what her eyes or nose looked like at all..."

"Five years later, I could only vaguely think of her. Although the past scenes were still clear and the feelings were still deep, she became less and less in my mind year by year."

"So, Cherry, let's ride the Ferris wheel!"

Cohen raised his voice slightly, but his words became even more profound, like those of a deep scholar.

"As it slowly rose, I felt as if I had returned to that past, and saw her again..."

"As it passes its highest point and slowly descends, I am once again Cohen of the organization..."

Ugh--

Lin Jiayou let out a long sigh.

Poor Cohen.

He's usually a quiet person, and it takes him a lot of effort to even speak, but today we talked for a long time.

If, he meant if.

If Sherry were truly his love, and she really did betray him, he might actually be quite moved, and might even want to do something terrible...

But life doesn't offer "what ifs".

Lin Chia-yu's life was destined to be a smooth and successful one.

He didn't love Sherry, Sherry didn't defect, Akemi Miyano didn't die, and the rivals and traitors are about to surface one by one...

Everything is very, very good...

Eh?

and many more!

Did Cohen include a strange name in his thank-you notes just now...?

...................................................

Seven o'clock in the evening

"I am back."

Lin Jiayou, carrying two white plastic bags, pushed open the door to the villa.

"you are back--"

Miyano Shiho called out to Lin Jiayou in a weak and listless voice.

Lin Jiayou frowned slightly, walked into the living room, and casually glanced around.

Just as he had expected, Shiho Miyano collapsed onto the sofa like a salted fish.

Did you clean the house today?

Lin Jiayou spoke to Miyano Shiho with a hint of coldness in his voice.

If Sherry continues to be a loser, he might just take action...

"Cleaned."

Sherry rolled her eyes at Lin Jiayou and said irritably,

"Of course I cleaned it."

Do I think I'm the kind of person who doesn't do housework?

"My older sister has always praised me for being hardworking and capable since I was little!"

"Oh."

Lin Jiayou nodded silently.

Diligent and capable...

I haven't seen any signs of diligence yet.

If you're capable...

Lin Jia glanced at the person sprawled on the sofa and shook her head slightly.

I haven't tried it, so I can't really say...
