Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

Lin Xiaochen was taken to another room. There was a thick stack of documents on the iron table. The policeman in black gestured to Lin Xiaochen to sit down, and then he sat on the other side of the table.

"This is a document. Please read it carefully and sign on all the lines after confirming that it is correct." said the police officer in black.

Lin Xiaochen asked as he flipped through the documents: "It's easy to shut me up in this case, but how do I explain it to the Nagano Police Station?"

The police officer in black: "Don't worry about that. We will send someone there. However, discussions between police officers are beyond our control."

So he is still needed to bear the pressure. If I had known this earlier, I would not have agreed so quickly. I should have at least bargained.

Lin Xiaochen felt a little crazy inside. It was obvious that Zhufu Gaoming and Yamato Gansuke had already suspected that there was something wrong with him. Although Uehara Yui's performance was not so obvious, Lin Xiaochen didn't believe that an equally sharp detective would not notice those abnormalities.

I was too impulsive. How could I have forgotten that I had turned on the third perspective?

"Officer Lin Xiaochen, do you have any questions about the regulations?"

The black-clad policeman suddenly spoke, interrupting Lin Xiaochen's confused thoughts.

He looked up at the still serious face of the policeman in black, then looked down at the document. The originally smooth and bright white paper had wrinkles on the edges due to his pinching. Lin Xiaochen let go of his hand and smoothed out the creases with his fingers.

"I know this incident is too sudden for you, and it is dangerous in itself. I understand your nervousness."

The police officer in black spoke, seemingly trying to comfort her, but his tone was still cold.

Lin Xiaochen lowered his head but did not answer. Whatever he said at this time would be misunderstood as fear and nervousness, so it would be better not to explain.

The document was very thick and contained many related regulations. Lin Xiaochen spent the entire morning reading it and only signed his name on it after he had finalized every last detail.

The police officer in black took the document, confirmed it was correct and nodded to Lin Xiaochen: "Okay, you can go back and continue your work."

Lin Xiaochen stood up and felt a burning pain in his stomach. It seemed that he had been hungry for too long.

There is no clock in the room. Judging from the layout, it should be an interrogation room within the public security department. Long-term confusion of time can bring more pressure to people. This is also one of the interrogation methods commonly used by the public security department.

Thinking of the nature of the room, Lin Xiaochen didn't want to stay in this ghost place any longer, and left in a hurry after making sure that everything was fine.

The police officer in black took the information he had just filled out to his superior's office: "Mr. Kuroda, this is the confidentiality agreement signed by Lin Xiaochen."

Kuroda Bei sat on the chair, took the documents handed to him by the black-clad policeman and nodded: "Did he say anything else?"

"No, Lin Xiaochen signed it readily."

Kuroda Bei said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll call you if there's anything."

"Yes!"

The black-clad police officer left quickly and Kuroda Bei put the document aside. He had just recently woken up from a coma, his body functions were not as good as before, and his memory seemed to have stayed at ten years ago.

Ten years ago, he went to the United States to participate in an international shogi tournament. On the way, he encountered a team of killers. On the way to escape, he had a car accident and did not wake up until this year.

After waking up, he learned that he had encountered a transnational criminal organization and the man he had followed should be a high-ranking member of the organization, but unfortunately, the public security did not have detailed information.

He took out a portrait from the drawer. It was drawn by a profiler he had contacted just after he woke up. The facial features of the person in the picture were blurred, but the eyes were painted violet.

Violet eyes, mixed race, about 1.85 meters tall, medium build.

This is the only clue to that senior executive.

It was an accident that Kuroda Bei mistakenly entered the scene, but the senior executive was too concerned about his attitude, as if he knew that he would do something bad.

It's so weird.

As he was thinking, someone knocked on the door: "Mr. Kuroda, the person in charge of Sakurada Gate has arrived at the meeting room."

Kuroda Heibei: "I'll be right there."

Sakurada Gate, a secret organization of the previous Public Security Bureau, is also responsible for transnational criminal groups. Kuroda Heibei narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered that Lin Xiaochen's parents seemed to have been involved.

It really is fate.

.........

Lin Xiaochen returned to Nagano Police Station.

Yamato Gansuke was yawning. The aftereffects of the medicine had not yet subsided and he felt a little drowsy. Morobushi Takami and Uehara Yui were nowhere to be seen.

Yamato Gansuke saw that Lin Xiaochen kept turning his head left and right, and reminded him: "Gao Ming and Yui went to hand over the materials."

"Transfer materials?" Lin Xiaochen asked puzzledly, "What materials?"

"It's from Hikari Quantum." Yamato Gansuke said, "It's a fact that Hikari Quantum attempted to murder Qiu Yueci, and the evidence has been submitted to the procuratorate. The remaining poison was found in Hikari Quantum's home, and the forensic doctor identified it as the same poison that killed the three victims. It can cause myocardial paralysis and sudden death - I don't know where Hikari Quantum got it from."

He sneered, "But, case closed."

This was an ending that Lin Xiaochen had never expected. It was just glossed over so easily. Lin Xiaochen instinctively felt uneasy.

"The director just came. You were not here, so he asked you to go to the headquarters to see him in a few days." Yamato Gansuke yawned again, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Where did you go so early in the morning?"

"Nothing. By the way, have you found out about the missing forensic medicine?" Lin Xiaochen vaguely changed the subject.

Yamato Gansuke nodded and said, "We found out. It was the new forensic assistant who stole the reagents and sold them for money. We found out right away. There was nothing else in the reagents. The forensic doctor had mixed up two bottles of reagents, and he accidentally found the right one by switching them."

"I see. That's how it is. We are really lucky." Lin Xiaochen sat back in his seat. "Then, what about the families of the three deceased?"

"What else can we do? We can only appease each other." Yamato Gansuke felt a headache, "The outside world will once again criticize the police for their incompetence."

Lin Xiaochen was silent for a moment: "Senior Yamato, I feel a little unwell and would like to take a leave this afternoon."

"Okay, I'll cover for you, you go back and rest." Yamato Gansuke agreed immediately and was unexpectedly easy to talk to.

Lin Xiaochen's heart was in a mess. After thinking for a while, he bought three bouquets of flowers and went to the Nagano cemetery.

The sun is shining today, the tombstones are arranged neatly, and there is not the slightest eerie atmosphere.

Lin Xiaochen was holding flowers in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw Qiuyueci.

Qiu Yueci was bending down to put down the flowers and was about to leave when she saw Lin Xiaochen, so she took the initiative to greet him: "Officer Lin."

"Miss Qiuyue, are you feeling better?" Lin Xiaochen smiled and went to meet her. "Are you here... to see your classmates? Don't you mind that they bullied you in the past?"

"Forget it." Qiu Yueci smiled lightly, her voice very soft, "The dead are the greatest, and it's all over. Can I still hold a grudge against them for the rest of my life? I'm here to fulfill the friendship we had as classmates."

Lin Xiaochen nodded: "Miss Qiuyue is really a kind person."

"Please don't say that." Qiu Yueci blinked, "It just so happens that I was planning to say goodbye to you too. I'm going back to plant flowers with my mother."

"Huh?" Lin Xiaochen was a little surprised.

Qiu Yueci explained: "My mother said that since I am not happy here, I should go back to a happy place. Also, my health has always been poor. My mother said she wanted to try the method of our ancestors and let me use Chinese medicine to regulate my body."

"It's so sudden, I haven't even prepared a parting gift." Lin Xiaochen asked, "When are we leaving?"

"Tonight." Qiu Yueci said, "Thank you very much, Officer Lin, for taking care of me."

"It's all what I should do. Then, I'll treat Miss Qiuyue to a meal."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm leaving this afternoon." Qiu Yueci declined. "Goodbye, Officer Lin."

"Goodbye. Have a safe journey," Lin Xiaochen blessed.

Qiu Yueci lowered her head and whispered softly, "(Chinese) Goodbye." Then she turned around and walked away.

Lin Xiaochen was stunned, and the tip of his tongue felt numb, as if it was out of control: "(Chinese) Goodbye, Ci."

Qiu Yueci's back froze as she left, and she turned to Lin Xiaochen and smiled: "(Chinese) Remember to go home early, police officer."
