Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 60 Lingzi is just a child
"Dee~woo~~dee~woo~~dee~woo~~"

Sirens blared through the streets as the police finally arrived.

Because the report they received was about suicide by jumping from a building, the only person who came to handle the matter was a newcomer in the Investigation Section, Juzo Megure.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw Lin Xiuyi waiting beside him: "Mr. Lin, what are you doing?"

"This is not suicide."

"Huh?" Megure was stunned. "But the police call said..."

Seeing Lin Xiuyi's serious expression and remembering his previous behavior, Megure immediately chose to believe him.

"Another murder? I'm afraid I can't do it alone... Please wait a moment, I'll call Matsumoto-senpai and the others..."

"No need," Lin Xiuyi pointed to a public telephone booth not far away, "The murderer is over there. He has died of a heart attack."

"I'll tell you the crime process now, and then you can take people to take photos and collect evidence, that's all."

"The murderer's surname is Fujimori. Half a month ago, his wife was at home..."

"Ah? It's starting now?"

Inspector Megure hurriedly took out his notebook and began to record.

"...In addition to the bloodstains outside the tenth-floor window and the fishing line marks on the rooftop water tank, Mr. Fujimori also had the hammer he used to attack the deceased and the fishing line used to set the trap."

After saying this, Lin Xiuyi emphasized again, "Mr. Fujimori's last wish was that you send his ashes back to his hometown and bury them with his wife. Although he is a murderer, this case..."

"Don't worry, Lin Jun, leave this matter to me," Inspector Megure assured, "Once the case is concluded, I will personally send someone to send his ashes back."

"Then I'll go first," Lin Xiu nodded and turned to walk towards her sister who was waiting beside her.

"Sorry it took so long."

"Onii-chan, let's go back," Reiko said dejectedly, "I don't want to go to the amusement park anymore."

After this incident, Lin Xiuyi no longer had the heart to play: "Okay, I'll make you something delicious when I get home. What do you want to eat?"

"Red bean double skin milk," Lingzi muttered, "When Onii-chan lived at home, I could eat it every day."

"Okay, I'll make some more for you to take home and eat as much as you want," Lin Xiuyi said helplessly, "This is such a simple snack, I've taught you several times..."

The girl blushed and whispered back, "You said it yourself. Everyone has something they're not good at!"

"Saying you're not good at it is a bit modest," Lin Xiuyi deliberately teased, "Your cooking skills are on par with your sister Yingli. You're both killers in the kitchen. Even Wangcai won't eat what you cook..."

"Woof!" The stupid dog barked, as if to express his agreement.

"Onii-chan!" Lingzi stamped her feet in displeasure. "Isn't it enough that we have you at home to cook? And you, Wangcai, are not allowed to eat dinner when I get home today!"

As the brother and sister played and joked, the worry on the girl's face soon disappeared.

……

At the entrance of the izakaya,
Kisaki Eri brought out a chair and basked in the sun while reading the book "Dark Night Baron" that Kudo Yusaku gave to Hayashi Xiuyi. When she saw the exciting part, she was guessing who the murderer was, but she didn't want to be interrupted by the barking of a dog.

Kisara looked up in annoyance, and just in time saw Lin Xiuyi coming back with a girl on his back and Wangcai hand in hand.

"Why are you here so early?" Lin Xiuyi was a little surprised to see Kiyori sitting at the door. "Didn't I tell you yesterday to have a good rest?"

"I couldn't stay at home, so I came here," Kisaki Eiri glanced at the girl on Hayashi Shuichi's back, "Reiko?"

"Well, that morning, we had agreed to take her to the amusement park, but someone fell from a building halfway there..." Lin Xiuyi briefly explained the situation. "On the way back, Lingzi couldn't walk anymore, so I carried her on my back. She fell asleep in less than three minutes."

"Really asleep?"

Kisaki Eri looked suspicious. She didn't have a good impression of her little cousin Lin Xiuyi. Every time she saw her, this girl looked angry, as if she had stolen something from her.

"How can it be true or false if she's asleep? Wait for me for a moment, I'll take her back to the house." Lin Xiuyi also knew that the two had a bad relationship. He was afraid that Kisaki Eri would play a prank and wake Reiko up, so he hurriedly carried his little cousin back to the second floor.

After putting Lingzi on his bed and covering her with a quilt, Lin Xiuyi went downstairs.

Kisaki Eri was sitting on a chair, teasing Wangcai, but perhaps because of Lingzi, Bengou obviously didn't like girls very much, and he just raised his head and ignored her.

"Humph, I'll let Xiu Yi make you into a dog meat hot pot one day!"

Fei Yingli said something angrily, and Lin Xiuyi who was coming downstairs happened to hear it.
"Wangcai has always been like this, why are you angry with him?"

"Why is it so close to Kogoro?" Kisaki Eri said depressedly, "We were the two who found it together. When it was little, it used to hang around me all the time. But now it's become like this after it grew up."

"Maybe it's the smell of you that it doesn't like," Lin Xiuyi was also a little confused. Wangcai was very close to everyone around him, but he was cold and indifferent to Kisaki Eri.

"It must be your good sister's doing," Hibiki Eri snorted, "This stupid dog always listens to her."

"Reiko is just a child, why would she have so many thoughts?" Lin Xiuyi shook his head with amusement and pulled Kisaki Eri up from the chair.

"What?" The girl frowned.

"You've just recovered from your cold, so don't get too much exposure to the wind," Lin Xiuyi said. "Come to the store and read a book. I'll make you some red bean double-skin milk. I remember you used to like it."

"It should be made for Reiko, right?" Kisaki Eri curled her lips. "The past is the past, the present is the present. I don't like eating it anymore."

"May I ask Miss Fei, what would you like to eat now?" Lin Xiuyi asked jokingly, "I'll make it for you."

"Then..." Feiying thought, "Milk tempura!"

After entering the store, Lin Xiuyi first found some food, fed it to Wangcai, and then got busy.

The double skin milk that Lingzi wants to eat is very simple to make. Pour the milk into a pot, turn off the heat after boiling, pour the milk into a large bowl, and after a while you can see a layer of wrinkled milk skin formed on the surface of the milk.

Find another bowl, put the egg white and white sugar into it and stir until the sugar dissolves. After the milk cools down a little, pierce the milk skin with chopsticks, then slowly pour the milk into the large bowl containing the egg white and stir evenly.

Then pour the stirred milk back into the large bowl with the milk skin. The milk skin will float up automatically. Then put the bowl into the pot and steam it for about 10 minutes.

The temperature is high and the weather is hot in summer. After steaming the double skin milk, Lin Xiuyi puts it in the refrigerator. When Lingzi wakes up, he sprinkles cooked red beans on it and eats it cold.
