Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

The system is no longer going on. The agents at the headquarters all have some mental illnesses to a greater or lesser extent. As long as it does not interfere with the mission, no one will care about it.

——That is his host, who seems to be getting crazier and crazier since his retirement.

"Let's go back and meet up with them first. I'll find another way." Lin Xiaochen seemed to compromise suddenly. "They are not human. I can't be like them, right?"

System: […You are right]

Uehara Yui did not get any useful information. Xi, the only one who saw Lin Xiaochen last night, kept silent and kept his promise to Lin Xiaochen.

Seeing that Yui Uehara was a little overwhelmed sitting among the children, Lin Xiaochen sat over to her and said, "Sister Uehara."

"You're back? The children are all sleeping soundly." Uehara Yui said helplessly.

"I'll try." Lin Xiaochen sighed, then smiled, "Kids, did you sleep well last night? Did you kick the quilt?"

"No--"

The children answered loudly in unison.

Lin Xiaochen glanced at Xi who was still sitting silently at the outermost edge. "Is that so? You can't lie. Lying is a very bad behavior. Uncle will ask again, is there really no child who kicked off the quilt in the middle of the night and caught a cold, or went to pee?"

"No--"

The sound became noticeably softer.

Lin Xiaochen glanced at Uehara Yui and said, "Sister Uehara, do you think there is any way to find the child who is telling lies?"

Uehara Yui understood and immediately cooperated: "There are many ways. Auntie knows it now, and your Uncle Lin also knows it, right?"

"Yeah..." Lin Xiaochen smiled and looked at the children, "That's right. After all, uncles and aunts are all police officers. Children who want to be police officers won't lie, right?"

"right--"

"So, did any children hear the sound of wind and snow outside yesterday?" Lin Xiaochen asked in a different way.

"..." The children were silent again.

Lin Xiaochen had a slight headache. He hadn't coaxed a child like this for a long time and just felt tired.

"I heard."

A crisp voice was particularly obvious in the quiet environment, "I heard it. The wind was very soft and quiet last night, but I could hear the sound of snow falling."

——It’s Xi!

At this moment, his misty golden eyes slowly lit up: "Uncle police, I heard it."

"That's great, Xiao Xi." Lin Xiaochen smiled sweetly, stood up and walked across the crowd, hugged the person from his seat and held him in his arms, then returned to his seat and sat Xi on his knees, "Uncle will give you a little red flower, okay?"

Xi was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "Okay."

"Xiao Xi, can you tell uncle if you've seen other kids kicking the quilt?" Lin Xiaochen asked softly and gently, while his knees swayed slightly, like a cradle. "Kicking the quilt can easily cause catching a cold. Xiao Xi is so obedient and sensible, he must not want his friends to get sick, right?"

After hearing this, Xi fell silent.

"Xiao Xi, are you afraid that uncle will blame those kids?" Seeing this, Uehara Yui, who was sitting next to her, quickly softened her voice and comforted her, "Don't worry, baby. Uncle and auntie promise you that we will never blame them..."

At this time, Xi finally spoke again, but his voice was very soft, so soft that only Lin Xiaochen, who was close to him, could hear it.

Nozomi's lips trembled slightly as she said, "Shota is awake too."

Uehara Yui tried hard to hear what Qingxi said, and subconsciously leaned forward and moved closer.

Lin Xiaochen's voice also became lighter, and he hugged Xi tighter, then lowered his voice and leaned close to Xi's ear to ask, "So, Xiao Xi doesn't want Xiangta to know about this, right?"

Xi nodded slightly in response, indicating his agreement, and his hair hanging on both sides of his cheeks gently brushed Lin Xiaochen's nose with this small movement, making the latter feel a slight itch.

"Okay, I get it. This is a secret between you and me. But can you tell uncle that the one is Shota?"

Xi's big eyes were blinking, looking lively and cute. He turned his head slightly and his eyes seemed to drift in one direction.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaochen followed his gaze and asked softly, "Is it the boy in the dark blue sweater?"

Xi nodded gently and said "hmm", the sound was as light as the flapping of mosquito wings.

Lin Xiaochen put Xi on the ground and said, "Kids who take the initiative to come to uncle to admit it, uncle will also reward them with little red flowers. Sister Uehara, how about we take the children to play hide-and-seek? I remember there is a park nearby."

"Then we need to ask the dean first." Uehara Yui also stood up, "Should I go find Agan and the others?"

For questioning, only Lin Xiaochen and Uehara Yui were left in the classroom.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaochen naturally had no objection.

Uehara Yui went to find the dean, and Yamato Gansuke was standing by at the time: "Ah? Take him out? This doesn't sound like your idea. Was it Lin's suggestion?"

Uehara Yui nodded.

The dean hesitated: "This...isn't it too dangerous..."

Yamato Gansuke could understand the other party's hesitation, but he felt that Lin Xiaochen would not mention playing games for no reason, so he asked: "What do you plan to play with the children?"

"Hide and seek." Uehara Yui said, "Maybe he felt that the classroom in the orphanage was too small."

"Hide and seek? Just play catch the ghost. Blindfold and catch people. The classroom is big enough." Yamato Gansuke seemed to know Lin Xiaochen's purpose, so he glanced at the dean, "What do you think, dean?"

"Of course. The police gentlemen may have spent their precious time on the children, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the orphanage." The director said in an official and polite manner.

"Okay, I'll tell Lin the news right away." Uehara Yui turned and left.

Yamato Gansuke put away his relaxed expression and looked at the dean: "Where were we talking about just now?"

……

In the classroom, the children cheered.

Lin Xiaochen brought an empty can and said, "Whoever we bump into later will be the ghost. Let's start now."

Lin Xiaochen put the can on the ground and kicked it lightly with his toes. The can began to slide on the ground. For some reason, the can seemed to have eyes. No matter how Shota in blue tried to dodge, it always went straight towards him. As expected, the can hit Shota's shoes.

"Then - this is the kid." Lin Xiaochen announced loudly, then walked over, squatted down, and picked up the can. "Can you tell uncle what your name is?"

"Shouta!"

"Okay Shota, are you willing to be a ghost who catches people?"

"willing!"
