Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 230 A Different Kisaki Eri

"What a bad sign!" Yukiko looked at the milky white ice cream slime slowly flowing down her fingers, and her face became increasingly ugly.

"You're right about one thing. You're really unlucky today," Yabuuchi Hiromi quickly took out a tissue to help her best friend wipe her hands.

"Hey, Hiromi," Yukiko suddenly asked, "What are you going to do if Fukuda Hidekazu finds another woman while you're away?"

"What else can we do? Break all three of his legs, of course!" Yabuuchi Hiromi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she clenched her fists and sneered, "We Gunma women are not to be trifled with!"

"That's right!" Yukiko waved her hands vigorously, her eyes rekindled with fighting spirit. "I'm going to ask the director for leave right now, and I must go back to Mika to ask for clarification!"

"Ah?" Yabuuchi Hiromi opened her mouth, dumbfounded. "Yukiko, are you going back to Beihua just because of some random thoughts? Otherwise, why don't you call Lin Jun first?"

"Humph, since he called ahead, he's already prepared," Yukiko said stubbornly, crossing her arms over her chest. "Anyway, I don't have anything to do with the crew tomorrow. It's decided! I'm going back to Mika tonight!"

……

After more than two hours of hard work by firefighters, the fire in the Mihua Library was finally successfully extinguished.

The library was surrounded by a pungent smell of burning and steam. The entire five floors of the building were basically engulfed in flames. The outer walls were burned black, and some places were still emitting gray smoke.

The books in the building were also destroyed in the man-made fire, leaving only some charred pages scattered everywhere.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there were no casualties.

Standing in front of the library, Hibiki Eri looked at the devastated scene with a dejected expression. "Ever since my mom brought me here to read in first grade, I've been coming here often. It's been over ten years... I never thought the library would be burned down by that bastard!"

At the end of her words, the girl gritted her teeth, her face full of anger.

"If the old doesn't go, the new won't come," Lin Xiuyi patted the girl's shoulder gently. "The government will definitely rebuild the library in the future. Let's go. It's time to go back."

"...Yeah," Kisaki Eri nodded, and looked at the library twice more reluctantly, as if she wanted to engrave this once familiar place in her heart, and then she followed Lin Xiuyi into the police car.

……

In front of the Maori family's small building,
As soon as he got out of the police car, Lin Xiuyi saw his little cousin sitting on the steps with a dark face.

She swung her legs, held her chin with her hands, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction and grievance.

"Didn't you say that this little girl wouldn't be back until tonight?" Kisaki Eri gently nudged her childhood sweetheart with her elbow.

"How do I know why she came back early..." Lin Xiuyi shook his head depressedly.

He had originally wanted to take advantage of his little cousin's absence to get intimate with Kisaki Eri again, but now this plan was obviously ruined.

Lingzi, who was over here, also ran over immediately after seeing her brother: "Onii-chan, where did you go yesterday?"

Lin Xiu was about to speak when her cousin immediately reminded her unhappily, "You promised not to lie to me."

"...Eri and I went to Yueying Island yesterday," Lin Xiuyi could only tell the truth.

Kisaki Eri rolled her eyes and walked past them speechlessly towards the izakaya. Reiko snorted at her back, then stared at her brother with a sullen face, saying nothing.

"Okay, I know I was wrong," Lin Xiuyi quickly picked up his little cousin, "It's my fault. I should have taken you with me, okay?"

"Onii-chan, you actually left me to go out and play by yourself?" Reiko looked at him suspiciously. "Nothing happened between you and Eri on that Moon Shadow Island, right?"

"What else could happen?" Lin Xiuyi shrugged helplessly. "You know about this, so you must have seen the news, right?"

"Yeah," the little cousin nodded. "We saw your interview on TV while we were having lunch at home, and Mom and Dad praised you."

"The news should have mentioned the incident on Yueying Island. We went there yesterday at noon and returned on the police boat at midnight," Lin Xiuyi asked innocently. "Even if I wanted something to happen, there wouldn't be time."

"No, that's the best," Reiko hugged her brother's neck and rubbed his cheek sweetly, "Onii-chan, don't leave me alone to go out and play again."

"Okay!" Lin Xiuyi spun her around in his arms, a doting smile on his face. "From now on, wherever I go, I'll take you with me, little girl!"

The little cousin then smiled happily, revealing two cute little canine teeth: "In a few years, I won't be a little girl anymore."

"Can you come down now?" Lin Xiuyi wanted to put his sister down, but she still hugged his neck and refused to let go. "No, I haven't seen Onii-chan for two days. Hold me for a while longer."

Lin Xiuyi had no choice but to carry the girl into the izakaya.

When Reiko saw Kisaki Eri, she immediately snorted in protest.

If it were before, Kisaki Eri would definitely glare back angrily, but now, she just thought this little girl was childish, and she didn't even bother to turn her face. She just tilted her head slightly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Lingzi looked at Ki Eri, then at Hayashi Shuichi, her face full of confusion: "Onii-chan, is it true that nothing happened between you and Eri-sister?"

"Didn't you ask this question before?" Lin Xiuyi said with a guilty conscience, "Why are you asking it again?"

"There's something wrong with Sister Yingli," Reiko said with a wrinkled nose, "She's so narrow-minded. She shouldn't react so calmly when she sees me provoking her..."

"You little bitch, who are you calling petty?" Fei Yingli glared at her little cousin unhappily, then looked at Lin Xiuyi and said, "I'm hungry."

"I'll go cook now," Lin Xiu nodded. Seeing that his sister was still clinging to him and refused to get out, he could only helplessly remind her, "We both didn't have lunch yet."

If only Kisaki Eri was hungry, Reiko would definitely continue to stay, but when she heard that her brother hadn't eaten either, the little cousin could only let go of her hand reluctantly with reluctance on her face.

After Lin Xiuyi put her on the ground, he went to the kitchen counter to prepare dinner.

Reiko found a chair and sat down, supporting her chin with one hand, her eyes fixed on her brother's childhood sweetheart.

Kisaki Eri frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "Why are you looking at me?"

"You've been acting a little strange these past few days," Lingzi looked at her suspiciously, her gaze gradually moving from her face to her chest. "Is it because you've gotten bigger?"
