Conan’s Toast Does Not Eat Fine Wine

Chapter 1355 Relieved Resentment

I don’t know where Ariane got Nobuhiro’s itinerary, but he actually bought a seat next to Nobuhiro on the same flight.

When they first met, Nobuhiro thought Ariane was young, arrogant and arrogant, and never compared him with Carignan. Later, when his identity was known, the two became enemies in a sense, and there was no such opportunity.

And now——

Anyway, the journey was long, and Nobuhiro suddenly had a lot of time for him to observe Ariane Swann.

He suddenly discovered that Ariane and Carignan actually had many similarities, and in some places they even seemed to be carved from the same mold.

For example, the upper part of the face is almost the same as the nose, but Carignan's eyes are rounder, and he seems to be inherently trustworthy when he stares at you.

Ariane noticed Nobuhiro's gaze and raised his head from the magazine. Unexpectedly, Nobuhiro was looking out the window in a daze, and there was nothing unusual about him.

Um? Is it his imagination?

But now that he had decided to chat, Ariane simply said directly: "Mr. Asano."

"Um?"

"Will you visit my sister this time in Sweden?"

"Of course." Xinfan asked strangely, "Isn't this what you asked for?"

"I mean if you hadn't met me at the airport."

This time Nobuhiro didn't give an immediate reply.

Ariane laughed softly: "Isn't it true?

"But this is normal. For me, she is my only relative, but for Mr. Asano, she is just a colleague. Even because of your position, my sister probably caused you a lot of trouble when you were working together, right? "

Quite right.

During the years when we worked together in Northern Europe, Carignan did indeed cause a lot of trouble for Xinfan, whether it was from the organization or external forces. The biggest trouble was undoubtedly the information she provided to the Swedish Security Agency after Nobuhiro was transferred, forcing Nobuhiro to return to Sweden and handle it personally.

but……

Nobuhiro retracted his gaze from the clouds outside the window and said calmly: "This time, before I finish what I should do, I will go see her."

Ariane was surprised when he heard this: "Why?"

"Probably because," Nobutano paused here and laughed again after a moment, "I want to see her real side after she has shed all her responsibilities."

——A look he had never been exposed to before.

But this was destined to be impossible. All he could see of Carignan was probably a cold cemetery and the ever-smiling look on the tombstone.

Ariane didn't expect the answer from Mezcal.

He was silent for a long time, so long that Nobuhiro thought he would never speak again.

"My sister and I grew up in an orphanage." Ariane suddenly whispered, "We are said to be siblings, but in fact they are only a few minutes apart. What's more, we have never met our parents, so the so-called siblings are just The teacher at the orphanage arranged the order for the convenience of management."

Having said this, the expression on Ariane's face became very soft and full of nostalgia.

"Maybe I am the brother." He laughed, "But she always calls herself the sister and likes to take care of me and manage me since I was a child. Before we separated, I always thought she would become a doctor or nurse in the future. , or a kindergarten teacher. I didn’t expect that she would be elected to the Swedish Security Agency, and I didn’t expect that she would go undercover to join the organization, and..."

Carignone was indeed very bold to make a decision that would be incredible to her younger brother who she spent time with. This was similar to Nobushige's estimation of her.

"Did the teacher at the orphanage say anything about your parents?" Nobushige asked.

He had gotten some information from Detective Swann, but perhaps the person in question knew more.

"We were abandoned at the door of the orphanage, and the people who abandoned us didn't seem to be our parents or family members." Ariane recalled, "That was all twenty-two years ago, and few people remember it. .”

Twenty-two years ago…

Nobushige felt that it might be time to tell Ariane Swann his guess. As for what he would do after knowing it, that was Ariane's own right.

Ariane realized that he had something to say, frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Do you know about my parents?"

"I'm not sure, but I have investigated your affairs before. I have a guess."

"What?" Ariane asked.

But Nobuhiro did not answer immediately. He looked into Ariane's eyes and said seriously: "Twenty-two years ago, Rum's wife and child died in the organization's experiment. It is said that one corpse killed three people, and Belmode also participated. Participated in that project. Also twenty-two years ago, Bermod sent two children to an orphanage in Sweden. According to the investigation, the director of the orphanage was named Swann, and the children who grew up in the orphanage also inherited the The dean’s last name.”

Ariane was in a daze and did not recover from what Nobuhiro told him.

Nobushige continued: "Although I have no definite evidence to prove that the children Belmod sent to the orphanage were Rum's children, I also have no evidence to prove that you and Carignan must be those two babies. But the coincidence of these things So many, it’s hard not to think about that possibility.”

Ariane asked in shock: "Where did you get this information?"

He has worked for the FBI for so long and has often used the FBI's intelligence network to investigate his biological parents, but he has not found any useful clues.

Why could Asano Nobushige, a person who had no relationship with their siblings, obtain these so easily?

"Well, of course I have my own intelligence channels." Nobuhiro did not confess Gin.

Yes, in addition to entrusting Detective Swann to investigate, Nobuhiro also used Gin's intelligence network.

It’s a long story, but the last time I did this was the last time.

——On a sunny afternoon, Mescal, who had just completed a mission with sharpshooter Rai, met Gin who came to pick them up.

As Ley got into Sirah's car, Mescal had no choice but to make do with an antique car that was leaking air everywhere.

Of course, so many coincidences are actually just to give Gin an opportunity to pass on information in a logical manner.

After seeing the evidence that Rum had released to undercover agents over the years, Nobuhiro was shocked to find that there was an unopened document at the bottom of the information. And looking at the level, this document is much more confidential than the previous ones.

"You shouldn't have discovered some hidden diseases in Rum, right?" Nobuhiro couldn't help but guess.

Gin's eyebrows twitched slightly. He felt that he couldn't keep up with Mescal's brain circuit: "Open it and take a look. It's something more interesting than hidden diseases."

Nobushige opened the file.

Nobuhiro closed the document again.

how?

Gin questioned with his eyes.

Xinfan took a deep breath and looked scared: "Are you sure this is something we can see?"

Ginjiu said angrily: "Didn't you ask me to investigate???"

Nobuhiro said he would not take the blame: "I asked you to investigate Rum, but I didn't ask you to investigate what friends he had had before, how many times he was married, whether his wife and children were alive, and I didn't ask you to investigate his family because of Died for whatever reason."

It's obviously very important information, but when it comes out of Mescal's mouth, it sounds like Rum's gossipy love story, which is totally out of character.

"Since I don't want you to give it to me." Gin reached out to grab the document.

However, Nobuhiro moved more quickly and put away the documents first.

"You can't be unfaithful as a person, and you can't be a bad person. Don't all the villains in the books you read end up betraying their relatives?"

Gin frowned: "What on earth are you reading?"

Why doesn't he sound right?

"That is, books like "Three Kingdoms" and "Nihon Shoki"."

Gin almost believed it.

However, Nobuhiro's appearance was not just to make Gin feel embarrassed. He couldn't be too enthusiastic about the conflict between Rum and BOSS. Because in the final analysis, with his and Gin's current position, there was no need to know this at all. They just needed to find Rum's weakness and kill him.

The information Nobushige received from Gin was very important. It revealed the source of the feud between Rum and BOSS, and provided a possibility for the identities of Ariane and Carignan.

Ariane knew that he was in no position to ask Nobuhiro to reveal the source of his intelligence, so he stopped asking. It was just that Ariane was cool about the fact that his father was most likely Rum.

"He can't be the father of my sister and me," Ariane said calmly, "Absolutely not."

In fact, both he and Nobuhiro knew that this possibility existed. Ariane said this just because he didn't want to admit it.

Nobuhiro thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Rum is very worried about his wife's death, and even resents him because of it. If he knows that the child is still alive, he will be very happy."

"Then what?" Ariane asked, "When he learns that the child is alive, will he give up his plans? Will he atone for his past sins? Will he become a good person and regard it as a thing of the past? Happen?"

Xin Fan was speechless.

"Mr. Asano, I am very grateful to you for helping me investigate these things, but you actually have no evidence to prove that I am Rum's son, right?"

"certainly."

"So stop talking." Ariane looked deeply, "I think my sister doesn't want to hear similar words."

How ridiculous, if they are really Rum's children, the daughter died because of the organization, the son was almost killed by the organization, and the father is still "revenge" for his dead relatives - this is definitely the evil taste of the goddess of fate.

And just like Ariane asked just now, will Rum really let go of everything because of his lost son? Or will he go even harder for his deceased wife and daughter, or simply regain his past ambitions and push Noah's Ark to set sail as soon as possible?

Therefore, no matter what the facts are, the Swann siblings are the Swann siblings, and Rum is Rum. There is no relationship between them. This is the best.

Perhaps because of the heavy subject matter, there was no dialogue between Nobuhige and Ariane during the second half of the voyage.

But after the plane landed, Ariane took the initiative to find Nobuhiro to apologize.

"My tone before was not very good, I'm very sorry." Ariane's eyes were slightly dark, his expression was low, and he apologized very sincerely.

Nobuhiro was shocked by Ariane's change in attitude toward him, and replied: "It doesn't matter."

What happened? Is the man in front of him really Ariane Swann, who regards him as his biggest enemy in life? Even if he barely saved his life before, the hatred of killing his sister is not that easy to resolve, right?

After arriving in Stockholm, Nobuhiro and Ariane did not look for a hotel to stay, but immediately went to a cemetery on the outskirts of Stockholm - where Carignan was buried.

Ariane had obviously done his homework in advance. He went straight to his goal and soon found the graveyard of Carignan.

A beautiful granite cross stands in the jungle shaded by green trees, and a name is neatly engraved on the tombstone lying flat on the ground: Paulina Swann

This name gave Nobuhiro a strange feeling, but when he saw the familiar little girl in the photo, all the strangeness disappeared.

This is Carignan.

Paulina Swann is an agent of the Swedish Security Service's Special Operations Division, whose code name in the organization is Carignan.

"Sister, I'm here to see you." Ariane placed the bouquet he bought at the entrance of the cemetery next to the cross. "I'm sorry that I came just now. You must be very lonely during this time, right?"

He stood quietly in front of the tomb with a sad expression: "I really regret that I should not have left you alone to go to the United States. Now, I am really alone."

"But sister, you probably can't imagine who I came to see you with today, right?"

Ariane smiled, "It's your old boss, the guy in the organization code-named Mescal. You definitely wouldn't have thought that his true identity is actually an undercover agent of the Japanese police.

"Really... If you had known earlier, maybe you could have become companions instead of fighting against each other with guns, and you wouldn't have..."

Ariane stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and the smile on his face widened a lot.

"Sister, this time I returned to the FBI. I heard Mr. Akai tell a story. He apologized to me, saying that he failed to send his sister to the hospital in time for rescue, but he wasted time because of the relationship between the FBI and the Swedish Security Agency. . He has been feeling guilty during this period, but he has not been able to come to his sister to express his apology in person."

No wonder, no wonder Ariane's attitude towards him changed drastically. It turned out that Akai Shuichi had already told him what happened.

Ariane knelt down in front of Carignan's tomb and gently touched the photo on the tombstone: "Mezcal had no choice but to shoot. Mr. Akai was inconvenient to intervene due to the relationship between the two countries. The Swedish Security Agency was afraid of the FBI and refused to do its best, so sister, you Lying here.

"They all have their own difficulties and difficulties, but why is it my sister who suffers in the end?"

Although these words were meant for Ariane and Carignan, Nobuhiro beside him felt his heart aching.

Yes, they can all make excuses for themselves, but Carignan's death is irreversible.

"But don't worry, sister." Ariane said seriously, "I don't resent anyone now, and I won't seek revenge from anyone. I think my sister definitely doesn't want me to harbor hatred."
