Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

Most of the houses in Nagano are Japanese style, and Mrs. Kuzuki's house is no exception.

The house is not big, but it can accommodate the Ge Mu couple and their unborn child.

The room was clean and tidy, with a faint scent of lavender. Mrs. Ge Mu invited Lin Xiaochen to sit on the tatami and went to the kitchen to bring some tea and snacks herself.

"Please enjoy your time, Mr. Policeman." Mrs. Kuzuki slowly adjusted her sitting position while holding the low table. "Are you here to investigate a case?"

"Thank you." Lin Xiaochen looked at her suspiciously, "Why do you think so, Madam?"

"Mrs. Takahashi has been calling the dean, and I happened to overhear it." Mrs. Kuzuki said, "No wonder the dean has been asking Mr. Shangshou to guard the gate these days - it's really pitiful, Xiaoyou is a very obedient and lovely girl, Mrs. Takahashi must be worried crazy."

Lin Xiaochen nodded and frowned inadvertently, as if he had heard something strange.

He took a sip from the teacup and looked up at Mrs. Kuzuki: "That's right, so the police are under a lot of pressure. Madam, if you know any clues, please let us know as soon as possible."

"Of course." Mrs. Kuzuki smiled, "Otherwise it would cause too much trouble for the policeman."

"The orphanage has always been very peaceful. I think Mrs. Ge Mu has put a lot of thought into it." Lin Xiaochen seemed to remember the children's vigorous energy. "Children are still very clingy."

"Yes, children are very clingy." Mrs. Ge Mu didn't know why the topic turned to the orphanage again, but she still responded to Lin Xiaochen's words with a smile.

"You will be a good mother." Lin Xiaochen looked at Mrs. Ge Mu's belly. "You will have more concerns after becoming a mother. I admire you very much. You are all great mothers. However, it will still be inconvenient to be alone. When will Mr. Ge Mu come back? I will tell him to take good care of his wife."

This statement is extremely inappropriate and disrespectful.

Mrs. Ge Mu's smile slowly faded: "You are right, but there is no need to remind me, the child's father has passed away."

Lin Xiaochen raised his eyebrows, then his face was full of apology: "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." Mrs. Ge Mu said with a wooden face, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't entertain you any longer."

This means driving people away.

Lin Xiaochen tactfully stood up and said goodbye.

The system silently complained in the brain: [Host, you are talking more and more without thinking now]

"Fool, you really believe me when I say you're stupid. Didn't you notice any traces of men in the room? There are three pairs of men's shoes in the deepest part of the shoe cabinet. Judging from the degree of wear and tear, they were all worn recently."

【What can’t that prove?】

"Well, let's go ask Mrs. Kuzuki about her reputation. Once she asks, everything will become clear."

At the intelligence gathering bureau at the entrance of the village, also known as the place of disgrace, there were already several housewives returning from shopping for groceries.

Although Lin Xiaochen doesn't look young (after all, his age is there), it's not an exaggeration to say that he is sunny and refreshing (or he doesn't work enough)

At this moment, he had a sweet smile on his face and called "sister" to the housewives. He successfully won the favor of the housewives with his sweet words and outstanding appearance and successfully infiltrated the inner circle.

The system, which was used to seeing Lin Xiaochen use honey trap, remained calm: [As expected of you]

Lin Xiaochen: Hey~

"Mrs. Kuzuki, she's also quite strange, always leaving early and coming back late, and doesn't really care about the family."

"She said she was going to the orphanage to see the children, but who knows what she was thinking? I'm afraid she was going to see her old lover."

"Good old friend?"

"Yes, you don't know, I often see men going to her house in the middle of the night. My house is behind hers, and I can see the light on in her room every day. Oh my, she really doesn't know how to avoid people at all."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember that she must have more than one lover. I saw two or three other different men enter her house a month ago. I don't know what she was thinking. It's only been a short time since her husband died."

Wait, a month ago? Isn't that when the second victim disappeared?

"Maybe she was mad to death. We can't tell whose baby she is carrying. Who wouldn't be mad?"

"Um, sisters, did you see some strange children a month ago?" Lin Xiaochen interrupted them with a smile.

Several housewives were not angry: "Let me think about it." "Emm, I don't remember it very well." "Let me think about it."

"I didn't pay attention to the strange child from a month ago." One of the ladies said, "Because strange children often appear, they were all brought back by Mrs. Kuzuki. It is said that they are from an orphanage and brought out to play... I think she is too irresponsible. What if the child is lost?"

"I was wondering why there were occasional crying noises at the Kuzuki family. It turns out there was a child. Mr. Kuzuki doesn't really like children, but Mrs. Kuzuki actually took the child home... Oh, she's amazing."

"Hey - are you crying?" Lin Xiaochen interrupted them again in a sweet tone.

"It's normal for children to cry when they have too many." A lady looked at Lin Xiaochen carefully, "You can tell you're not married yet, so it's normal for you not to know about this kind of thing. How old are you, young man? Can I introduce you to some nice girls?"

Lin Xiaochen: 6

Ignoring the rampant laughter in his brain system that seemed to be about to lift the top of his head, Lin Xiaochen remained calm on the surface, and his voice was tinged with tenderness: "Thank you, sister. It's not necessary, sister. I have a girlfriend, sister."

“Really? Oh, congratulations. Where is your girlfriend from? Are you from Nagano? Your spoken English doesn’t sound very similar. Do you plan to develop in Nagano for a long time? What do you do…”

"this and that……"

The housewives were still smiling, but in Lin Xiaochen's eyes at this moment, that smile was no different from that of the Rakshasa from the underworld, so scary.

Lin Xiaochen: Help! I can’t handle it anymore!

The system is already laughing like a duck: [Hahahaha quack quack goose - host, hahahahahahaha, you, quack quack quack quack, hahahahahaha]

Lin Xiaochen: I can't stand it. Is this stupid thing really my system? Can I throw it away? I don't really want to admit it.

[Ga gaga gaga hahaha goose, host, you really, I haven’t seen you so embarrassed in a long time hahahahahahahahahahaha]

Lin Xiaochen gritted his teeth and said, "Try to smile again!"

He cursed the system a thousand times in his heart, and the smile on his face grew bigger and sweeter. He made an excuse that something happened at home and wanted to say goodbye and escape in a hurry.

Before leaving, a lady called him and said, "Hey, young man, give me your business card. I will tell you more interesting things next time."

Lin Xiaochen took out his personal business card from his pocket and handed it over, then hurried away wondering "How could there be such embarrassingly enthusiastic people in Japan?"
