Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

"Scotland - congratulations."

A faint voice came from behind him. Midorikawa Hikaru's body stiffened and he slowly turned around: "Master Jundu. Thank you."

"I have a mission on hand, but I can't get away." Cointreau smiled at Scotland, "Last time when the organization was doing business with Ito Shoji, the transaction information was accidentally inserted into the file. You just need to destroy it."

"Destroy it directly? Don't we need to bring it back to the organization?"

"It's all right. If you plan to take it back, you can give it to the finance team to take a look. Oh, by the way, it is said that there is a real estate project to be developed in Jianggutian District. Can you help me check it out?" Jundu gave the order and left. Before leaving, he reminded him, "You can be considered an official member in the future, and the surveillance around you will be removed. Don't let the organization down."

Midorikawa Hikaru clenched his fist silently.

Originally, he planned to quietly hand the documents over to the police, but after hearing Jundu's reminder, his pounding heart gradually calmed down.

Was Cointreau just making a casual remark or was he deliberately giving a warning?

========

Ever since the casual conversation brought up the reason why Lin Xiaochen parachuted in, the people from the Second Investigation Section had become much nicer towards Lin Xiaochen. Although some people still thought that Lin Xiaochen was just here to kill time, most of them were kind to him.

In addition, although Lin Xiaochen always looks like he is about to faint, he is very efficient in doing things. Moreover, just because he looks like he is about to faint doesn’t mean he will actually faint.

After spending a few days together, those who originally had objections gradually felt that having one more person was no big deal.

Ginzo Nakamori received special instructions from Inspector Megure, and since Lin Xiaochen was the youngest among his subordinates and looked young, like a high school student, he couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

One day after get off work, seeing that Lin Xiaochen did not leave as usual, Nakamori Ginzo thought that he had encountered difficulties at work, so he walked over.

"Lin, why don't you go home after get off work?"

Lin Xiaochen stood up after hearing this: "Officer Nakamori, I have to be on duty today."

Seeing his expression, Nakamori Ginzo took out a candy from his pocket and gave it to him: "You look so bad. The duty roster was arranged before, and now it's time to change. It's not your turn today, so go back quickly."

"Thank you." Lin Xiaochen held the candy in his hand. "Actually, I still have some work to do, so I want to stay a little longer to finish it."

"How can the work be finished? Your companions haven't come either. Won't they come to pick you up today?" Nakamori Ginzo was a little surprised.

"The squad leader has to go on patrol today, and Hagiwara and the others are doing closed training." Lin Xiaochen explained, "Inspector Nakamori, you don't think I'm a baby who needs someone to pick me up, do you?"

Nakamori Ginzo really wanted to say yes, what if you fainted on the road when you look so weak and no one is watching you?

"Do you have any other plans tonight?" Nakamori Ginzo suddenly asked. The closed training place was quite close to his home, and he could ask his companions to pick him up then.

Lin Xiaochen shook his head subconsciously: "No."

"You'll be alone if you go back now, and I'm about to get off work, so if you don't mind, how about we have a quick meal at my house?"

Lin Xiaochen was very surprised: "Then, thank you very much!"

Ginzo Nakamori's home is in Ekoda District, a bit far from the Metropolitan Police Department.

It was already dark when the two of them returned in Ginzo Nakamori's car.

When Ginzo Nakamori opened the door and went in, a little girl ran out from the room: "Dad, welcome home!" A boy followed behind her.

"This is the little girl Aoko, and this boy is Kaito from the neighboring family." Nakamori Ginzo touched Aoko's head and introduced her to Lin Xiaochen, "This is Dad's colleague Officer Lin, come and say hello."

"Hello Uncle Lin! My name is Nakamori Aoko, you can call me Aoko." Nakamori Aoko's voice was so sweet that Lin Xiaochen's heart melted.

"Hello, I'm Lin Xiaochen. I'm sorry to bother you and not bring a gift." Lin Xiaochen supported his knees with his hands and leaned over to look into Nakamori Aoko's eyes.

"I'm Kuroba Kaito, uncle, why haven't I seen you before?" Kuroba Kaito didn't like others paying attention to his childhood sweetheart for a long time, so he immediately spoke to attract Lin Xiaochen's attention.

Lin Xiaochen saw it clearly, and secretly laughed at him for being another jealous king, but he straightened up and looked at Kuroba Kaito: "I was just transferred to the Second Investigation Section. It's normal that you haven't seen me before."

"So, you are a new policeman?" Kuroba Kaito insisted.

Lin Xiaochen nodded: "Yes, I still have a lot to learn from Senior Nakamori."

"Hahaha, why are you talking about this during working hours? Stop standing at the door and let's go in."

Ginzo Nakamori asked his daughter to entertain the guests well, declined Lin Xiaochen's suggestion to help, and cooked dinner for four people by himself.

He is indeed a rare good father. (Here I would like to cue Kogoro Maori)

"My wife is busy with work and won't be home today." Nakamori Ginzo explained why the hostess of the house was not at home. "It's just simple food, Lin just makes do with it."

"thanks for treatment!"

After the meal, the relationship between the few people became much closer.

Ginzo Nakamori originally wanted to drink some rice wine to liven up the atmosphere, but when he thought of Lin Xiaochen's health, he gave up the idea and chatted with the child over juice.

Aoko Nakamori seldom has someone who is like a brother or a father to play with. Her parents are always busy and she doesn't want to disturb them. Although Kaito is the same age as her, he is sometimes very childish and will make jokes that she doesn't like.

But Lin Xiaochen just made up for this. He was old enough to call her brother, but he was more mature than boys of the same age. He could see her mood swings and could talk about her favorite topics for a long time. Nakamori Aoko had a lot of fun.

Lin Xiaochen was also very happy. Nakamori Aoko was indeed a lovely girl. Chatting with her really helped him relieve his mood.

Looking at Nakamori Aoko's smiling face, Lin Xiaochen was reminded of his cousin when she was a child. With this association, he felt that the girl in front of him was even more adorable!

Kuroba Kaito was a little unhappy that Qingmei's attention was all diverted to Lin Xiaochen. At first, he was jumping up and down to attract attention, but after seeing Qingmei's happy face, he just sat aside and ignored him.

Ginzo Nakamori was reading a newspaper without being disturbed, enjoying his rare leisure time.

When Lin Xiaochen returned, Matsuda Jinpei took a special leave to come out to greet him. Nakamori Aoko, who went to open the door, was frightened by the way Matsuda Jinpei was dressed.

"Dad! There are bad guys!" She slammed the door.

Upon hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Lin Xiaochen, who felt bad and wanted to help, hurried out.

The two had bubbles on their hands as they watched the door being pushed open, revealing a handsome face wearing sunglasses. The man was wearing a black suit with his hands in his pockets, and he looked like someone who was not to be messed with.

Lin Xiaochen: ...

Nakamori Ginzo: "I'm a policeman, who are you? How did you open the door? Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"Mr. Police Officer." Matsuda Jinpei took off his sunglasses and said, "I'm here to pick up Haya... As for the door, it was opened by this little girl and not locked, so it opened when I pushed it..."
