Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

Lin Xiaochen returned to the office. Since the two teachers' notes had not been completed yet, Lin Xiaochen was asked to watch the children while they were studying.

In the classroom of Class A of Grade One, Lin Xiaochen saw several familiar faces.

The principal motioned for the students to keep quiet and introduced Lin Xiaochen to them: "This police officer will supervise the students' self-study. Everyone must keep quiet. Teacher Fujimoto asked me to remind the students to complete their calligraphy homework. After they are done, put them on the podium and the class monitor will collect them. Okay, let's start studying."

After that, he nodded to Lin Xiaochen and turned to walk out of the classroom. After all, he was also responsible for maintaining order in another class.

Lin Xiaochen sat quietly on the podium, his eyes slowly sweeping across the classroom. The classroom, which had been a little noisy due to the principal's departure, became silent again.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing an almost imperceptible smile, and he was obviously quite satisfied with the effect.

Then he lowered his head, reached out and picked up a pencil and a piece of white paper from the podium, preparing to organize the information related to the case.

As an active police officer, his majesty naturally makes people dare not offend easily; coupled with the cold and murderous aura that Lin Xiaochen has honed after experiencing countless life and death tests, the atmosphere in the classroom makes it extremely solemn.

At this moment, there was no other sound except the almost inaudible "rustling" sound caused by the friction between the pen tip and the paper.

Time passed by minute by minute, and some students finished their homework one after another. However, no one dared to go to the podium to hand in the paper first, for fear of attracting the attention of the policeman.

Suddenly, a male classmate gently poked Kudo Shinichi who was sitting next to him and lowered his voice to a very low voice: "Kudo, are you done?"

"What's wrong?" Kudo Shinichi slowly put down the pen he was holding tightly in his hand. He had just finished all his homework.

"Um...can you hand in the homework for me? I'm a little scared..." The classmate said what he was thinking without any concealment.

Upon hearing this, Kudo Shinichi revealed his crescent eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said helplessly: "What's there to be afraid of..."

"Hehehe, Kudo, everyone knows that your father is a famous mystery novelist who has close contacts with the police all day long! So, you definitely won't be afraid of these little things, but it's different for me..." He laughed dryly a few times and continued to beg, "Please help me, I'll treat you to some snacks after school!"

Kudo Shinichi had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay, okay, actually I'm not going there for those cheap snacks."

After saying this, he picked up the other student's homework book under the grateful gaze of the student, stacked it together with his own, and then walked towards the podium.

"Officer Lin, I'm here to hand in my homework!" Kudo Arata greeted him. He put his homework book on the podium, but his eyes were attracted by the white paper in front of Lin Xiaochen - it was covered with all kinds of lines and symbols, like a huge spider web.

Driven by curiosity, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, trying to get closer so that he could see more clearly.

Lin Xiaochen noticed Kudo Shinichi's actions. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.

Yamato Gansuke knocked gently on the door of the classroom and winked at Lin Xiaochen, signaling him to come out.

When Lin Xiaochen saw this, he immediately understood. He didn't even have time to explain. He just quickly turned the white paper over and hurried out of the classroom.

Kudo Shinichi was left standing there alone, looking thoughtfully at the turned-over white paper...

Yamato Gansuke handed the police manual to Lin Xiaochen with a serious face: "The case here is not simple either, but fortunately it is not closely related to the case in Nagano. We only need to take care of the progress of our own case."

Lin Xiaochen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what the other party meant, and then said thoughtfully: "It seems that we only need to retrieve the road surveillance in the Tokyo area... As for the Metropolitan Police Department, how should we explain it?"

"Let's just explain the situation directly. After all, this case has nothing to do with Nagano. Let's submit the application first. If we encounter obstacles, we will find a way to force them to make concessions." Yamato Gansuke said in a firm tone.

"Coercion is a last resort. Judging from the situation yesterday, I guess the Metropolitan Police Department won't give in so easily." Lin Xiaochen seemed to suddenly remember something: "But if we really encounter a difficult situation, maybe there is still a solution..."

When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and both of them know this very well.

Then, Yamato Gansuke suggested: "Then let's go back to the Metropolitan Police Department first. We are no longer needed here. Is there anything else you want to confirm?"

If there is no need to ask for any other information about the deceased, questioning the classmates would seem irrelevant.

"Wait a moment, I'll pack up my things." He was pointing to the white paper on the podium that was filled with case information. Although most of the text used Chinese abbreviations and symbols, after all, Japanese originated from Chinese, so some of the meanings could be guessed.

When Lin Xiaochen stepped back into the classroom, he happened to see Kudo Shinichi leaning on the podium with his hands, staring intently at the piece of paper covered with words.

Although in Kudo Shinichi's view these words are no different from scribbles, with his extraordinary intelligence, he still found some clues from them.

"Okay, Kudo, it's time for you to go back to your seat." Lin Xiaochen reminded softly.

The white paper in front of him was taken away. Kudo Shinichi looked up in surprise and said, "Officer Lin, are you here to investigate the disappearance of Mr. Goda?"

Lin Xiaochen did not answer. He did not want to involve the child, but when he thought that this was the future protagonist, he might make other discoveries. So he smiled at Kudo Shinichi and said, "Kudo, study hard first. If you need to talk to your uncle, you can wait until after school."

It was almost like saying: This is not something you should be involved in at your age, but if you insist on knowing, you can't do it in school, but I can consider telling you in private.

Kudo Shinichi was about to fight for it again, but when he saw Lin Xiaochen's fox-like curved eyes and brows, he instantly understood what he meant, so Kudo Shinichi returned to his seat with satisfaction.
