Lin Xiuyi hung the quilt on the balcony to dry. When he came in again, he saw Kisaki Eri lying on the bed in the guest room, without even covering herself with the quilt, and had fallen asleep.

"You still say you're not a child..."

Lin Xiuyi shook his head in amusement, picked up the quilt to cover her, then reached out and touched the girl's forehead, which was still a little hot.

He found the medicine box, took out a fever-reducing patch, and put it on Kisaki Eri's forehead.

After closing the door of the guest room, Lin Xiuyi stood in the living room, feeling a little bored for a while.

Seeing Kisaki Eri's condition, he obviously couldn't leave during the day. He looked at the time and thought, should he start making lunch?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi walked into the kitchen and checked the refrigerator in Kisaki Eri's house. There was a lot of mess in it, including beer, coffee, and instant food that could be easily eaten, but there were very few fresh ingredients that could be used for cooking.

Even with what Lin Xiu bought that morning, it wasn't enough, so he prepared to go out to the supermarket.

At this moment, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

Thinking that it might be Kisaki Eri's parents who were worried about their sick daughter, Lin Xiuyi answered the phone: "Hello?"

The person on the other end of the phone hung up without saying a word.

Wrong call?
The phone at Hibiki Eri's house is a high-end one. Lin Xiuyi looked at the caller ID on the landline and the number looked familiar.

Isn't this the pay phone in that nearby community park?

In the past, when he and Kogoro Mouri went to play with Eri Kisaki, they were too lazy to walk to the apartment, so they would call people from there.

……

The wrong call brought back Lin Xiuyi's past memories. Anyway, it was still early for noon, so after buying ingredients for lunch and dinner at the supermarket, he took a detour and planned to go to the community park first and then return to Kisaki Eri's house.

It rained heavily yesterday and it is sunny today. It is the weekend and the community park is full of children playing together.

Lin Xiuyi found a place to sit down with his things in his hands, looking at the children playing, his expression full of nostalgia.

When he was reborn in elementary school, he naturally had no interest in these childish games in the community park.

But Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki thought that he was too withdrawn and forced him to come over every time.

The pay phone that was used to call Eri Kisaki's house was located in a corner of the park.

When Lin Xiu looked over, he saw a middle-aged bald man standing there looking through the phone book.

Unlike more than 20 years later when people could store phone numbers on their mobile phones, people at that time had to remember phone numbers and prepare a small notebook, which was also called a phone book.

In addition, in order to prevent others from being unable to contact you, a public telephone book is hung with a rope in the public telephone booth. It contains the surnames, telephone numbers and addresses of all nearby residents. Some people will write more detailed information for work reasons.

The bald man flipped through a few pages of the phone book and started making calls.

Lin Xiu glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it. Just as she was about to continue recalling her childhood, she suddenly heard a child crying in the sandpit not far away.

It rained yesterday and the sand pit hasn't dried up completely yet. The wet and sticky sand is perfect for building a house.

Two little boys and a little girl, about four or five years old, were happily building a castle just now. For some reason, the boy suddenly started crying.

Lin Xiuyi didn't want to pay any attention, but the boy's crying got louder and louder. No one came to check on him, so he had no choice but to walk over, squat in front of the two children, and asked with a smile, "You were playing happily just now, why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"Big brother, I, I'm not a bad person, don't let the police arrest me!" the little boy said sobbing.

"Huh?" Lin Xiuyi didn't quite understand. "Who wants the police to arrest you?" "She!" The little boy pointed at the obviously older girl. "She said her father is a policeman, and she said I'm a bad person and wants to put me in jail."

"He's the one who destroyed the house I built with so much effort," the little girl said angrily. "He's a bad guy! I must tell Dad!"

"Wow, I didn't mean it!" The little boy cried even louder, "I'm not a bad guy."

Lin Xiuyi felt a headache when he heard the reason for the two children's quarrel. In his experience, when a child is crying, the more you try to persuade him, the more likely he will cry.

He quickly dug out a peach he had just bought at the supermarket from the bag he was carrying and asked, "Do you want to eat some?"

"...I do," the little boy looked at Taozi and nodded timidly.

"If you promise big brother that you won't cry, I'll give you peaches to eat, okay?" Lin Xiuyi tempted.

"Okay," the little boy agreed obediently.

Lin Xiuyi took out some toilet paper and wiped his hands clean. He was about to hand the peach over when the little girl suddenly interrupted, "You can't eat this peach. My dad said you can't eat things given by strangers. He might be a bad guy. If you eat the peach, he'll take it away and you'll never see Mom and Dad again!"

After she said that, the little boy looked at Lin Xiuyi in shock and fear, and then started crying again.

Lin Xiuyi looked at the little girl depressedly. She was still holding her head high and looking like she was doing the right thing.
"Little sister, what's your name?" Lin Xiuyi forced a smile. "Big brother, can you be my friend?"

"No, you're obviously not a good person!" The little girl refused decisively.

"How am I not a good person?" Lin Xiuyi said helplessly.

"This..." The little girl was stunned by the question. She tilted her head and thought for a long time, not knowing how to say it.

"Big Brother is talking to you because he doesn't want to see him cry anymore!" Lin Xiuyi explained, "You don't want to see your little friend cry anymore, do you?"

"Yeah," the little girl nodded in agreement, "He's really annoying when he cries."

"Then let him eat the peach, okay? He'll stop crying after eating the peach."

"No! Daddy said we can't eat food given by strangers!"

Uh, why are we back again!
Lin Xiu stood up angrily and glared at the little boy: "Stop crying! I know the police too. If you cry again, I won't need her father to come, I will arrest you right now!"

The little boy was so frightened that his legs went limp and he sat down on the wet sand, and then... his crying got louder.

"You're a bad guy! You're bullying a kid!" The little girl bravely stood in front of her friend. "My dad is Officer Sato from the First Investigation Division! He won't let you go!"

Officer Sato?

Sato is the most common surname in Japan. A Japanese professor even predicted that in five hundred years, everyone in Japan will have the surname Sato.

But in the Investigation Division, it seems that there is only one police officer named Sato, Masayoshi Sato?
And Sato Masayoshi's daughter...

"Your name is Sato Miwako, right?" Lin Xiuyi asked tentatively.

"How do you know?" The little girl widened her eyes. "I, I clearly didn't say that."
