Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Just then, Officer Date led Koya Date out of the police station.

Upon seeing Lin Xiuyi and the others, Date Hang immediately waved excitedly and ran over.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Matsuda, thank you so much for today."

Officer Date walked up to Hayashi Hideichi, nodded to him and Matsuda Jotaro, exchanged a few polite words, and then prepared to take his son home.

Goodbye, Jinpyo; goodbye, Zero!

Date Wataru waved goodbye to Furuya Rei and Matsuda Jinpei with reluctance, his little face full of sadness.

Children's friendships always come easily.

After spending only a few hours together, the three kids had already become good friends, and naturally they were very reluctant to part ways.

Seeing that Date Wataru was about to leave with his father, Matsuda Jinpei immediately panicked and rushed forward.
"Ida, wait a minute!"

Date stopped and turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Matsuda Jinpei scratched his head and said excitedly, "Tomorrow is my birthday, and my family is having a birthday party. I'd like to invite you to come, okay?"

"Really?" Date Wataru's eyes lit up immediately. He turned to look at Officer Date beside him, his eyes full of anticipation. "Dad, can I go to Matsuda's birthday party?"

Looking at his son's expectant eyes and then at Matsuda Jinpei's sincere expression, Officer Date smiled gently and nodded in agreement.

"Of course, but remember to be polite and not cause trouble for Mr. Matsuda."

"Great!" Date Han jumped up excitedly. "I'll definitely go tomorrow!"

Officer Ida was pleased to see her son make new friends. Instead of urging him to leave, she stood aside and waited quietly for the three little ones.

The three kids huddled together, excitedly exchanging their home addresses and contact information, and even made an appointment to meet again the next day before reluctantly parting ways.

As the father and son walked away, Date Wataru would occasionally turn around and wave goodbye to Furuya Rei and Matsuda Jinpei.

"Let's get in the car too," Matsuda Jotaro said with a smile, opening the car door.

Lin Xiuyi and Furuya Rei got into the car one after the other.

Matsuda Jotaro started the car, and it slowly drove away from the police station, heading towards home.

On the way back, Furuya Rei and Matsuda Jinpei sat in the back seat, still excitedly chatting about Date Wataru, discussing Date Wataru's brave actions in dealing with the hijackers, and how to have fun at the birthday party the next day.

Lin Xiuyi sat in the passenger seat and looked at the two excited children in the back seat through the rearview mirror. She couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate.

He never expected that in this world, the police academy five from another timeline—Rei Furuya, Jinpei Matsuda, Wataru Date, Kenji Hagiwara, and Kagemitsu Morofushi—would meet so early in life.

Thinking back to the original timeline, those five talented and spirited police officers ultimately met tragic ends.

Date Wataru died in the line of duty, Matsuda Jinpei sacrificed himself to protect the people, Hagiwara Kenji died in the explosion, and Morofushi Kagemitsu was forced to commit suicide.

Only Rei Furuya remained, carrying all the pain and mission on his shoulders, moving forward alone.

Lin Xiuyi felt a little heavy-hearted.

I hope their ending in this world will be much better than in their original world.

……

The car quickly arrived at the Matsuda family's house. Matsuda Jotaro parked the car, and with Hayashi Shuichi and the two children, they got out and went inside.

The Matsuda family's house wasn't very big, but it was decorated very warmly. In the living room, there were trophies and medals that Matsuda Jotaro had won when he participated in boxing matches.

There was also a small punching bag in the corner, which showed that Matsuda Jinpei often practiced boxing with his father.

Everyone was exhausted today, so dinner was simple. Matsuda Jotaro made a few home-style dishes, which tasted pretty good.

After the meal, Matsuda Jotaro arranged a guest room for Hayashi Hideichi and tidied up rooms for the two children before everyone went to rest.

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Lin Xiuyi woke up.

Stepping out of the guest room, I saw Matsuda Jotaro tidying up his things in the living room.

"Good morning, Mr. Matsuda," Lin Xiuyi greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, Lin-san." Matsuda Jotaro looked up. "I'm sorry, Lin-san, I have to work as a boxing coach during the day, so I can't stay home to help prepare for the birthday party."

"Please take care of things at home. Please make preparations with Jinpei and Zero."

“Okay,” Lin Xiuyi nodded with a smile.

Matsuda Jotaro gave Matsuda Jinpei a few more instructions, telling him to be obedient and not to cause trouble for Hayashi Hideichi, then picked up his coat and hurriedly left home.

As soon as his father left, Matsuda Jinpei immediately urged Hayashi Hideichi to hurry up.

"Brother Xiuyi, I want to go find Sister Qiansu and the second-year graduate student and ask them to come to my birthday party!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyi recalled Ogiwara Chisato's condition yesterday and felt somewhat worried.

The three of them walked out of the Matsuda family's gate and, led by Matsuda Jinpei, headed towards the Ogihara family's residence.

The Hagiwara family's house is near the Matsuda family's house, not far away, just a few minutes' walk away.

On the way there, Matsuda Jinpei was like a chattering little bird, talking non-stop.
"Brother Xiuyi, Sister Qiansu is amazing! She can not only ride a bicycle, but also swim. Last time I accidentally fell into the river, it was Sister Qiansu who saved me!"

"And there's a second-year graduate student. He's a little younger than me, but he's very smart and can make a lot of fun little things..."

He kept talking about how Hagiwara Chisato took care of him, and how smart Hagiwara Kenji was; he just couldn't stop.

Rei Furuya, who was standing beside him, was getting impatient and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Hey, can you be quiet for once? You've been talking about the Hagiwara family the whole way, and you're making my ears ring."

“I do what I want, it’s none of your business!” Matsuda Jinpei immediately retorted, made a face at Furuya Rei, and then continued his rambling.

Lin Xiuyi walked beside the two children, quietly listening to Matsuda Jinpei's words.

Although Matsuda Jinpei talked a lot and seemed a bit long-winded, Hayashi Shuichi could hear his concern and dependence on the Hagiwara siblings in his words.

Matsuda Jinpei's eagerness to find the Hagiwara siblings wasn't just about inviting them to his birthday party; more importantly, he was probably worried about them.

Lin Xiuyi did not expose the unease hidden behind Matsuda Jinpei's rambling; he simply listened quietly, letting him vent his inner worries in this way.

The three of them walked through the quiet streets and arrived at the Hagiwara family's doorstep.

The two-story house with its repair shop was rather quiet, a stark contrast to Matsuda Jinpei's description of the frequent vehicle traffic... (End of Chapter)
