Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

Mrs. Ge Mu was standing next to the boy with her big belly, apparently trying to persuade him to eat.

But the boy kept his head down and said nothing, his fists clenched tightly and his lips tightly sealed.

Lin Xiaochen tapped Uehara Yui's shoulder and pointed his finger into the classroom: "Sister Uehara, I'll go check it out."

Yui Uehara looked in the direction of the finger, then nodded slightly without refusing.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaochen walked into the classroom, walked to the other side of the boy with a smile, squatted down, raised his hand and rubbed the boy's head.

Noticing that the boy's body was slightly stiff, as if he was very resistant to such an intimate action, Lin Xiaochen stopped making it difficult and withdrew his hand.

"Mr. Policeman, why are you here?" Mrs. Ge Mu asked in confusion. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked down at the boy and said in a slightly stern tone, "What did I tell you before? Disobedient children will be caught by the policeman - eat your breakfast quickly and be a good child, so that people will like you."

"Please don't threaten the child like this." Lin Xiaochen's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes turned sharp as he looked at Mrs. Ge Mu. "The role of the police is to protect the weak, not to threaten the weak. If your child is afraid to come to us because he is afraid of the police and encounters difficulties, you should not bear this responsibility."

"Yes... I'm sorry." Mrs. Ge Mu's face changed, "It's also because he eats slowly every time..."

"There's nothing wrong with chewing slowly, and it's normal to be picky about food. Although it needs to be corrected, it doesn't have to be done in this way." Lin Xiaochen softened his tone, "What's your name, kid? What do you like to eat?"

The boy's golden eyes turned to Lin Xiaochen. He was silent for a long time before he spoke: "My name is Xi."

"Xi? It's a nice name." Lin Xiaochen pointed at the rice balls and miso soup on the table with a smile, "Xiao Xi, don't you like these foods?"

"He's just pretending. He ate the same thing the day before yesterday, and he finished it in just a few bites." Ge Mutiantian on the side interrupted with a little impatience.

"I don't like it." The boy said, "I don't like the food today."

——This is the second time he said this.

"I don't like it..." Lin Xiaochen dragged out his voice, "Xiaoxi doesn't like it, let uncle have a taste, okay?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Ge Mu's reaction. Ge Mu's expression seemed unchanged, but her smile was obviously stiff.

Then he looked at the boy again. The boy hesitated and finally nodded: "Okay—"

"How can this be——"

They both spoke at the same time.

Lin Xiaochen stood up and looked at Mrs. Ge Mu, seemingly puzzled by her objection: "Xiao Xi has agreed."

"Xiao Xi will be listless if you don't eat. If you're hungry, I'll go back to the kitchen and make you some food." Mrs. Ge Mu explained, looking at the boy with a forced smile, "Xiao Xi, you should learn to finish your own food. It's not good to waste food. Don't you agree, Mr. Policeman?"

"Indeed, wasting food is not good." Lin Xiaochen nodded in agreement, "But Xiaoxi doesn't like to eat it, so it will probably be thrown away in the end - you shouldn't force her to eat it, that would be too harmful to her body."

"So, it's no big deal if you let me eat it." Lin Xiaochen said calmly, "If you can go back to the kitchen to cook for me, please make Xiaoxi a meal that suits his taste."

"...This is unfair to other children who eat seriously..." Mrs. Ge Mu's explanation was a little pale. She wanted to argue for a while, but seeing Lin Xiaochen's serious expression, she quickly changed her words, "However, if you insist, it's not a big deal to make an exception once..."

"That's troublesome." Lin Xiaochen regained his gentle smile, picked up the rice ball on the table and ate it in three or two bites, then drank the miso soup that had already cooled down.

Then he followed Mrs. Ge Mu to the kitchen and watched her make a bowl of noodles for Xiao Xi. After Xiao Xi finished eating, he whispered in his ear, "Don't eat the food you don't like. Uncle will bring you what you like, okay?"

Xiaoxi's eyes sparkled when he heard that, and he nodded heavily.

“So good—” Lin Xiaochen raised his hand to touch his head, but thinking of his resistance, he patted his shoulder gently instead, “Uncle is busy now, dress warmly and go play.”

[Host, you are really reckless]

The system spoke quietly: [What do you plan to do next? ]

Lin Xiaochen looked at the debuffs of [Poisoned] and [Weakness] on the interface, as well as the three reduced health points.

"Don't worry, no one can escape."

He now understood why all the children from orphanages were so thin. Long-term intake of poisons had damaged their foundation, and if the remaining poison was not cleared, how could they easily recover?

The orphanage is probably an experimental base, and the children are all test subjects. According to this idea, it is somewhat terrifying to think about why there are no children over ten years old in the orphanage.

——However, how did the child discover it? Was it because he was too smart or was it an accident?

As for who owns this laboratory, Lin Xiaochen's first instinct is that it is the Black Organization.

——What a great guy!

Lin Xiaochen rubbed his swollen temples:

What kind of luck do I have? Several big cases I encountered were related to the organization. I wonder if that little bastard was involved?

By the way, should I tell Hiro's contact about this?

Hasn’t the report of the physical examination organized by the public security organization been given to me yet? Would you like to pick it up here?

The system made a buzzing sound: [Host, you will miss the present day in the future]

Lin Xiaochen: What nonsense are you talking about? Why do I miss my working days?

Seven years later, after experiencing countless mindless choices, Lin Xiaochen quietly withdrew the above remarks. Of course, this is all a story for later.
