Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 228 I’m still a breastfeeding baby
This morning, Tokyo's news media just reported the Yueying Island case. Unexpectedly, just half a day later, Lin Xiuyi solved another major drug case.

This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves.

A group of news media, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed in instantly and surrounded Lin Xiuyi.

The cameras in their hands kept flashing, and the microphones were handed to Lin Xiuyi as if they wanted to swallow him whole.

Lin Xiuyi really didn't expect these reporters to arrive so quickly. It was obviously impossible for him to break out of the encirclement without any preparation.

Helplessly, he could only stay and be interviewed.

With the "experience" of Lin Xiuyi "reading the official speech" during the live broadcast for more than half an hour last time, the reporters obviously learned their lesson this time.

They did not dare to let Lin Xiuyi speak freely again, so as to avoid listening to a lot of long-winded nonsense. Instead, they chose to ask questions one by one and let Lin Xiuyi answer them.

"Mr. Lin, the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department's Fifth Section has received reports of drug trafficking near the library, but they simply dismissed it as a cover-up by the drug traffickers," a stern-eyed male reporter wearing glasses asked. "How could you, compared to them, identify the drug traffickers hiding in the library and apprehend them so quickly?"

This question was obviously ill-intentioned. If Lin Xiuyi answered it carelessly, he would easily offend the Fifth Section of the Countermeasures Department.

Seeing this, Officer Yumio frowned immediately. He had just boasted to Officer Kinoshita that Hayashi Hideichi was from the Investigation Section 1. If he gave a wrong answer, it would definitely affect the relationship between the Investigation Section 1 and the Countermeasures Department.

Thinking of this, Officer Gong Chang prepared to answer on his behalf.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiuyi spoke calmly and said, "Actually, my ability to catch the drug dealer this time was all due to luck and accidents. My childhood sweetheart is a girl who loves reading. She often comes to the Mihua Library to read. I came here today not to look for drug dealers, but to accompany her to read."

"Finding drugs in the bookshelves was a complete accident. Even without me, the officers from Section 5 of the Countermeasures Department would have known that drug dealers were dealing near the library. With their expertise, they would have been able to quickly detect any abnormalities at the Beihua Library."

Lin Xiuyi's answer made Officer Kinoshita beside him nod his head in satisfaction, with admiration in his eyes: This young man is not only capable, but also humble and never tries to take credit for himself. How could such a good talent be snatched away by the Investigation Division 1!
"Mr. Lin, yesterday you arrested a criminal on Yueying Island, resulting in two people being seriously injured. They're still in the hospital. And this time, you arrested the director of the Rice Flower Library and caused him to break his leg," another tall, serious-looking female reporter questioned. "Although you successfully captured the criminal, weren't your methods too cruel?"

Why are there so many saintly bitches everywhere? Lin Xiuyi frowned slightly.

"First, you need to figure out why these prisoners were injured."

"Of the two seriously injured people on Moon Shadow Island, one was accidentally shot by his companion with a pistol. It's obviously inappropriate for you to blame me for this."

"And Director Jinchuan of the Beihua Library. He set fire to the library to destroy the evidence, and then tried to kill me to silence me, but I knocked him unconscious."

"If I hadn't put aside our past grudges and risked my life to save him from the fire, he wouldn't just have a broken leg, he'd probably be dead."

"Ms. Reporter, you said I was cruel. May I ask where my cruelty lies?"

"No matter what, they were all seriously injured. As a police officer, your law enforcement should be compassionate..."

The female reporter was not willing to give in. Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lin Xiuyi.

"Who told you I'm a police officer? Although I'm an investigative consultant for the Investigation Division, I'm only sixteen years old and still in high school!"

"Sister reporter, don't you think your request is a bit too much for a minor?"

At the end of his speech, Lin Xiuyi's face was full of grievance, and even his voice choked.

He slowly lowered his head and bowed deeply to everyone present. Then, with a trembling voice, he said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I just want to do my best to contribute to the safety of Mihua, so that all Mihua citizens can live in a healthy environment without drugs."

"If I really did something wrong, please forgive me!" The reporters' interviews have already attracted many people to stop and watch.

Lin Xiuyi's "performance" immediately aroused their sympathy.

Many people shouted indignantly:
"That's too much. What kind of questions are you asking?"

"He's just a child, why make things so difficult for him!"

"She sympathizes with the drug traffickers, yet feels bad for the heroes who caught them. Could this female reporter be an accomplice of the drug traffickers?"

……

The Virgin Mary reporter listened to the discussions of the people around her and her face turned pale and red in an instant.

Only then did she remember that the person in front of her was not one of those adult police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, but a genuine minor!
The Virgin Mary reporter originally wanted to make a big news by taking advantage of Lin Xiuyi's "abuse of suspects", but she didn't expect that the other party would take advantage of her age.

Faced with the angry condemnation from the people around her, the female reporter suddenly panicked. She stammered an apology and quickly hid behind other reporters in shame.

With her previous experience as a lesson, the remaining reporters no longer dared to underestimate Lin Xiuyi, their questioning became much more normal, and the atmosphere at the scene gradually eased.

……

After half an hour, the crowd dispersed a little.

Lin Xiuyi seized the opportunity and pulled Officer Kinoshita from the Fifth Section of the Countermeasures Department in front of the reporters, while he took the opportunity to sneak into the police car of the First Investigation Section.

"Are you okay, Mr. Lin?" Officer Gong Chang caught up. "Those reporters are like that. They're all obsessed with making big news and always like to exaggerate..."

"Do I look like I'm in trouble?" Lin Xiuyi raised an eyebrow in amusement, reached out to take the water handed to him by Kisaki Eri, and drank a big gulp. "I'm just a little thirsty. It's really troublesome to deal with all these reporters."

"This..." Officer Gong Chang was stunned, a puzzled look on his face, "Weren't you almost crying just now?"

"He's just pretending," Kisaki Eri rolled her eyes and reached out to gently poke Hayashi Shuichi's face. "His skin is thicker than the walls of Osaka Castle. How could he wipe away his tears in grievance over a few questions?"

"I was wondering...how did you recover so quickly?" Officer Gong Chang couldn't help laughing. After smiling, he continued to lead his police officers to assist the fire truck in putting out the fire.

Only Lin Xiuyi and Kisaki Eri were left in the police car. The former asked innocently, "How am I pretending? I'm still a child!"

Looking at Lin Xiuyi's appearance, it seemed as if he had really suffered a great injustice.

Kisaki Eri glanced at him, her eyes full of disdain: "You might as well just say you're a breastfeeding baby!"

"Didn't I eat last night?" Lin Xiuyi blinked, a wicked smile on his face, "How about letting me have another bite now?"

Hibiki Eri's face flushed instantly. She covered her chest and looked around in panic. Seeing that no one had heard what Lin Xiuyi had just said, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lin Xiuyi, why are you becoming more and more shameless!"
