Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 48 Lovely Sister

"The Dark Night Baron? This book is very popular recently. I often see it on TV," said Kisaki Eri. She reached out and picked up the book and opened it. Then she saw the message from Kudo Yusaku. "Is it for Lin Jun who invited me to catch thieves together?"

"Oh, I was out buying groceries earlier, and I happened to run into two thieves scouting the neighborhood park," Lin Xiuyi briefly explained what happened. "...Then Kudo Yusaku wanted to include a character based on me in his novel. I agreed, and he gave me the book."

"You ran into a thief again?" Kisaki Eri said with a strange expression. "Have you been really unlucky lately, or has the public security in Japan deteriorated rapidly?"

"It's a bit of both," Lin Xiuyi said, feeling somewhat helpless. He had encountered more things in the past two days than in the previous year. "I remember when novels describe the protagonist, they often say this: the gears of fate begin to turn, and the protagonist steps onto the stage that belongs to him. Maybe I am the protagonist of a book?"

"Only an author with a problem in his brain would let you be the protagonist!" Kisaki Eri gave her childhood sweetheart a cold look.

"You dare to look down on the protagonist? It seems you have given up the position of heroine," Lin Xiuyi joked, "I will find a new heroine right now."

"Who are you looking for? Fujimine Yukiko?" Kisaki Eri snorted, "You and her really hit it off. You've only known each other for two or three days, and you're already hugging each other."

"Eri, please don't defame me out of thin air!" Lin Xiuyi seized the opportunity and quickly explained, "The reason her scent lingered on my coat yesterday was because it was raining. Fujimine got soaked when she ran from her apartment to the Beika Police Station. As a classmate, I couldn't bear to see her in such a state, so I lent her my coat temporarily."

Kisaki Eri recalled carefully and found that the inside of Hayashi Shuichi's coat was indeed damp and had many water stains.

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly relaxed, and most of the pent-up anger that had been pent up since last night was also released.

"Okay, no wonder I caught a cold!" Kisaki Eri pretended to be angry, "You actually put wet clothes on me..."

After saying this, she started laughing before Lin Xiuyi could answer.

"Now that you're in a good mood, drink the chicken soup quickly," Lin Xiuyi urged, "The izakaya is still waiting for your payment."

"This afternoon, I can..." Before the girl could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lin Xiuyi, "No, you should rest at home today. You can go to the izakaya tomorrow when you feel better."

……

After lunch, he helped Kisaki Eri prepare dinner, which she could eat after just heating it up. Then Lin Xiuyi left and returned to the Mori family's small building.

As soon as he reached the second floor, Lin Xiuyi saw his friend coming down from the third floor and about to go out.

"Haha, Xiu, Xiuyi, you're back?" Maori Kogoro laughed unnaturally. "I'm going out to play baseball with someone. I'll be back this afternoon when the shop opens."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Xiu to reply, he ran downstairs in a panic.

"Why is this guy so weird?"

Lin Xiuyi looked at Maori Kogoro's back in confusion, then took out the key and opened the door to the second floor.

"This……"

As soon as he entered the room, he realized something was wrong. The room had been cleaned from top to bottom and was spotless. Even the garbage in the trash can had been emptied.

"Kogoro did it? Impossible. That guy can't even be bothered to clean his own bedroom."

"Aunt Maori? She's not in good health and can't do so much work."

"Eri has a cold today and has been staying home."

"The only one left who can help me clean the house is..."

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi hurried to the bedroom. After pushing open the door, his face immediately fell.

Last night, Maori Kogoro asked him to borrow JK wet photos, and not only did he dig out all of Hayashi Hideichi's collection hidden under the bed, but he also scattered them all over the floor. Hayashi Hideichi was too tired last night, and this morning he was in a hurry to go to Kisaki Eri's place, so he didn't pack up.

But now, all those precious collections that were supposed to be lying quietly on the floor are gone!
Lin Xiuyi quickly walked to the bed, lifted the sheets, and looked under the bed. It was empty. Not only was there no photo magazine, but even the cardboard box that contained the magazine was gone.

Uh, my three years of treasures...

Lin Xiuyi stood up, wanting to cry but unable to, and then he noticed that there was a note on the desk:
Onii-chan, I have cleaned the house for you and washed your dirty clothes. They are all hanging on the roof. Remember to bring them back at night.

Mom and Dad learned that you helped the police solve the case and have been praising you. I am very happy too, but please be careful, Onii-chan, as some criminals are still very dangerous.

Wangcai is also very good at home, but he often likes to squat at the door of Oni-chan's bedroom. He must be missing you.

Look carefully, Onii-chan, it’s Wangcai who misses you, not Lingzi.

Also, I confiscated all those unhealthy magazines!

Please study hard, Onii-chan, and stop watching this nonsense!

My younger sister Reiko stayed.

I knew it was you, my lovely sister...

Lin Xiuyi fell weakly on the bed.

Reiko Kujo, his cousin in this life, the future ace of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, and the Madonna of the prosecutorial world.

More than ten years ago, after his parents passed away, Lin Xiuyi was adopted by his aunt's family.

His aunt and uncle were very kind to him, and his cousin Reiko Kujo had been following him closely since she was a child.

Lingzi is four years younger than Lin Xiuyi and is currently in the sixth grade of elementary school.

Perhaps influenced by her prosecutor parents, Reiko is an excellent student. Even at a young age, she is very methodical and strictly follows the rules when doing things.

At school, she is the discipline committee member, assisting teachers in maintaining school rules and discipline.

After returning home, the little girl set her sights on Lin Xiuyi and always wanted to correct her bad habits.

When Lin Xiuyi decided to move out of his aunt's house and live alone, Lingzi was the first to disagree, but she couldn't persuade Lin Xiuyi and her parents, so she had to agree.

Although she said at that time that she would come to see Onii-chan often.

But Lin Xiuyi didn't expect that after just three days of separation, the little girl ran to Maori's small building by herself, not only helping him clean and wash clothes, but also confiscated his collection of more than three years.

I was careless... Lin Xiuyi sighed.

When he was at Kujo's house, he bought some risqué photo books. He would wrap them in book covers and disguise them as textbooks, or hide them in the bookshelf to avoid embarrassment from the elders. Reiko saw them and confiscated them.

After moving to the second floor of the Maori family's house, Lin Xiuyi relaxed his vigilance, and then... his collection of magazines was destroyed by his lovely sister.

No wonder Kogoro looked so abnormal, he must have seen Reiko confiscating those magazines!
　Reiko Kujo, I only recognize this version, it's so good.
