Chapter 422 Legal Issues
After Jundu gave Amuro Toru a lecture, he slowly turned his head and looked at Xiaolan and Sonoko with gentle eyes.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a warm smile, and he began to praise the friendship between these girls, which was indeed as dazzling as gold!
After that, Jundu turned his attention to Xia Xi and said to her, "You are right. The scenery along the way is also important when traveling. As long as you carefully experience every bit of your journey and cherish every moment with your friends, I believe that you will not have any regrets in the end. Maybe the person you have been thinking about is silently waiting for you at the end of this journey."
When he spoke, Coindo's tone was obviously much gentler, causing Conan to look at Coindo several times.
Conan gritted his teeth. He had long discovered that Jundu's attitude towards women was obviously better than that towards men. He was like this now towards Sister Xia Xi, and he was also like this when he was talking to Xiaolan before.
He is so nice to all girls, it is obvious that he is a playboy. Xiaolan, don't be deceived by the cunning people of the Black Organization!
Conan's judgment was obviously affected by his jealousy. Although Cointreau's tone was indeed a little gentler when he spoke to Mouri Ran, it depends on who he was comparing himself to.
Compared with Toru Amuro and Conan, one was a person who approached his sister with bad intentions, and the other was a person who would bring trouble to his sister. He did not attack them directly. Jundu thought that his attitude towards them was gentle enough.
Compared with Xia Xi, Jundu regards Mao Lilan as his sister's friend, so his attitude towards her is naturally better, but in fact, it is the same as his attitude towards Suzuki Sonoko.
Although he couldn't show it too obviously when treating his sister, Jundu's eyes when looking at Xia Xi were obviously gentler, and he never refused Xia Xi's request.
But Conan's focus was all on his sister Xiaolan, and he didn't notice this difference at all.
After hearing Jundu's consolation, Xia Xi thanked him with a moving expression, and then began to recount the story of how she and Lei Dianying met (with artistic processing):
"After Zhongli's affairs came to an end, I prepared to continue my journey to Japan. After Miss Ningguang knew my plan, she asked a friend's fleet to give me a ride. It was also on the ship to Japan that I met Fengyuan Manye, a ronin warrior who left Japan.
It was from Wan Ye that I learned the name of Lei Dianying, as well as the grudge between him and Lei Dianying. At that time, Ying was collecting the Eye of God, and many people regarded the Eye of God as a wish and were unwilling to hand it over, including Wan Ye's friends.
His friend hoped to change Lei Yingying's mind through a duel, but unfortunately he failed. According to the rules, the Eye of God belongs to Ying, but Manye didn't want his friend's ardent wish to be built into the cold statue, so he snatched the Eye of God and fled Japan. "
This time he followed Beidou—oh, Beidou is the name of Ningguang’s friend—and her fleet back to Japan, hoping to change Ying’s mind and make her give up trying to collect the Eye of God.”
"Why did Miss Raiden confiscate the Eye of God? Xing, didn't you say it was a glass ornament?" Yuanzi couldn't help but ask when she heard this.
Xia Xi: “It is indeed a glass ornament, so her act of collecting the Eye of God, on the surface, will not harm anyone.
But there are always some people who pin their hopes on the Eye of God. If they lose the Eye of God, it’s as if they have lost their goal and become somewhat... confused.
As for why Ying did this, it was because she was sick. "After a pause, Xia Xi continued, "Her heart was sick."
"The Eye of God represents a person's wish. With a wish comes the desire to realize it. Desire will bring about change, and every change will result in something being lost." At this point, Xia Xi's expression could not help but become somewhat sad. "Ying has lost too many important things, almost all of her friends and her only relative, so she is afraid of change. She longs for 'eternity' that will never change for thousands of generations, and that's why she wants to take the Eye of God away."
Amuro Toru's face looked quite strange. When he heard Xia Xi mention that Lei Dianying had lost her only relative, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in his heart. Although he usually didn't have much affection for the man named Granlivey, and even felt a little disgusted with him, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a brief sympathy for Granlivey.
Recalling Granlivey's cold and eccentric character, Amuro Toru thought to himself: It seems that Minister Inazuma never regarded Granlivey as a real relative. No matter how painful and sad Miss Raiden was at that time, she never thought of Granlivey. Even Xia Xi, who seemed to be a close friend to her, didn't know that Lei Dian had a child. Miss Raiden really treated Granlivey as if he didn't exist.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Granlivet has never received any positive response or warmth in the crucial area of family affection.
Could this be one of the reasons why Granlivet was unable to communicate with others in a normal way and was always sharp and aggressive? Thinking of this, Amuro Toru's eyes revealed a complicated look.
However, if you want to achieve "eternity that remains unchanged for thousands of generations", first of all, your life span must be long enough.
So, Granlivet's statement that Lei Yingying lived for hundreds of years was not a deliberate revenge? But Amuro Toru didn't want to admit that such an unscientific thing was true.
Ignoring Jundu's unfriendly look, Amuro Toru asked Xia Xi, "I have a question. Although the Eye of God is just a glass ornament and doesn't look worth much, it is still a personal property. Miss Lei Dian wants to take the Eye of God away by force. Shouldn't this be considered as seizing personal property?"
Xia Xi's expression was dull. She never thought that Amuro Toru would think of legal issues. Should she say that he was worthy of being a police officer? Although she herself was not very law-abiding, her style of requiring others to abide by the law really opened Xia Xi's eyes.
Xia Xi answered somewhat haltingly: "This... this shouldn't count..."
