Conan, but the winery

Of course, it was impossible to tell this to a little girl.

"Hehe~ Is it possible that your memory of me is wrong, Jing girl?"

"Maybe that's the case..."

Unexpectedly, the little girl did not have any doubts about Okino Mina's far-fetched reason. She thought about it seriously and then nodded in approval.

"After all, I've only been in Tokyo for a short time, and I haven't gotten used to the faces of East Asians. I tend to forget things in a blink of an eye, and it's normal to misremember them... I'm sorry, I just said something strange to the police sister."

The little girl sincerely apologized to Mina Okino.

From her words, Okino Mina noticed that potentially crucial piece of information.

I have only been in Tokyo for a short time, and I am not familiar with East Asian faces... Could it be that this little girl has always lived in countries such as Europe and the United States?

"Also, police sister, have you been promoted?"

While Okino Mina was deep in thought, the little girl asked again.

This time, her eyes fell on Okino Mina's police uniform.

"Eh?"

"Because, Sister Police, the police uniform you are wearing today is very new, and it is a little different from the one you wore last time. Sister Police, have you been promoted and transferred to the department for meritorious service?"

"Ah, this...well, that's right, that's it. I got promoted for many reasons..."

Facing the little girl's curious gaze, Mina Okino nodded, a little nervous.

Is this girl's observation skills really what a child of this age should have?

"Also, police sister, you didn't wear a badge today..."

"Ah - I know, I know! Sister, I will wear it when I go to work!"

So, stop focusing on these little mistakes that can’t be helped!

"Sorry, I said something that made you unhappy..."

Beside the flower bed, the little girl lowered her head and whispered back.

This little girl looks like a serious and mature adult on the outside. Only when she feels that she has made a mistake will she react like a child.

[There is a cute contrast between cuteness and cuteness. 】

Well, but at this time it’s better to coax him out first.

"The police sister is not unhappy."

Raising his hand to touch her long silver hair, Okino Mina smiled softly and said:

"I just didn't expect that Girl Jing, your observation skills are so good, it makes me a little overwhelmed..."

"Sorry……"

"So I'm not asking you to apologize, Girl Jing. What's more, I'm not angry at all. If I have to say it, I actually feel quite happy in my heart..."

"Happy?" The little girl looked at her puzzledly.

"This is the kind of teasing between friends. It looks like they are angry, but in fact it is just a joke between friends..."

Having said this, Mina Okino asked subconsciously.

"Think about it, Girl Jing, have you and the friends you know also experienced such a situation?"

"Little...mate?"

As soon as she heard her words, the little girl's face instantly darkened.

【White teeth! Thunder struck! 】

Seeing her like this, Okino Mina's heart suddenly jumped.

This little girl...doesn't she have no friends?

Chapter 730 So, why did you come to the Metropolitan Police Department?

"Police sister, I have no friends..."

As if the word "partner" stung her heart, the little girl's face instantly darkened, but she did not hide it and still truthfully stated the fact.

"Ah, this, this is it..."

Slightly embarrassed, Okino Mina quickly made amends for her.

"Well, I just heard from Girl Jing that you just came to Tokyo not long ago. After all, Girl Jing, you are so cute. It's normal that you haven't made friends in a short period of time. I believe..."

"It didn't happen before..."

Before Okino Mina finished speaking, the little girl added another sentence quietly.

Not only did she have no friends in Japan, she also had no friends in the country where she lived before.

"Uh……"

The unfinished words in her mouth were completely blocked. Okino Mina's expression was stiff and she was already sweating.

【Damn it! Why did I bring up this topic just now! 】

By the way, this little girl is so cute and smart, she is a perfect "ready-to-charge" template! How come you don’t even have a friend?

"Is there any reason?" Okino Mina asked warmly after quickly adjusting her condition.

There's definitely something wrong, there's definitely something wrong here.

Considering the child's future physical and mental health, Mina Okino decided to try to solve the problem.

The little girl didn't answer her immediately. She first looked up at Okino Mina, as if to judge whether she was really trustworthy.

Just like Okino Mina's previous speculation, this little girl's psychological defense is extremely high, far beyond what a child of her age should have.

If it were a normal first-grade girl, with Okino Mina coaxing her like this, she would have even told her what the style of her parents' pajamas is.

"They...are all afraid of me."

After thinking for a long time, the little girl once again chose to trust Okino Mina and said in a low voice:

"My grandfather doesn't like me to talk to people outside casually... Every time I go to school, he will send some fierce-looking bodyguards to pick me up... My classmates at school say that my family is very dangerous, so they all avoid me..."

Eh? 】

The little girl's words surprised Okino Mina.

She had always thought that this girl should be a child of an elite family, but judging from this girl's words, it seemed that this was not the case?

There are actually bodyguards who specialize in transportation... This girl's life experience is not simple, and she came back from abroad...

Yabai, could he be a child of a big political family in Japanese politics?

Subconsciously, Okino Mina turned her head and looked around.

[Wait, there aren't a bunch of people hiding around me watching me right now, right? ]

White teeth!

It's a bit dangerous, she's about to suffer from an occupational disease (phantom thief).

"Sister Police, you don't have to worry."

As if aware of Okino Mina's thoughts at this moment, the little girl suddenly said:

"Those people are very rigid. They don't think that I will run out during lunch break, so they won't show up except when going to and from school."

"This, this is it..."

"Ah."

The little girl nodded, a sad look flashing across her face.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, police sister. It's almost time now. I should go back..."

After saying this, she suddenly jumped off the flower bed and prepared to leave, but after taking two steps, she stopped again, turned her back to Mina Okino and whispered something.

"See you next time, my enthusiastic police sister."

At this moment, Okino Mina suddenly had a premonition in her heart.

This little girl may not appear here again in the future.

She deliberately used the word "enthusiastic", which was enough to show that this clever little girl had more or less realized that Mina Okino was deliberately waiting for her to show up and chat with her today.

This lonely little girl may have wanted to be friends with Okino Mina. However, Okino Mina's nervousness the moment she heard about the situation at her home made the little girl flinch.

Perhaps many similar things happened to this little girl in the past.

People who want to be friends end up fearing her and deliberately alienating her because of the situation at home.

The repeated occurrence of this kind of thing is undoubtedly a kind of psychological trauma for this little girl who also longs to make friends.

Therefore, she learned to escape. After noticing that Okino Mina had a similar reaction, she did not want to see the little girl who was alienated again, so she had no choice but to escape first.

Since you are likely to meet Okino Mina when you come here, then you should not come here again...

[She is really smart, but at the same time incredibly sensitive... This girl must have an elder at home who is not only strong, but also has a strong desire for control.]

"Hmph! Little girl, judging others without permission is a bad behavior, isn't it?"

Thinking of this, Okino Mina immediately stood up, took two steps forward, caught up with the little girl, and walked beside her.

"You don't think this little thing can scare me, do you? Your sister and I used to be very powerful~"

He touched the little girl's head with a smile, then raised his head and chest and said with a little pride.

Hearing her words, the little girl immediately cast an undisguised questioning look. A simple translation is - Sister, aren't you just a super bad detective who goes off work at noon every day?

By the way, why are you showing off like this? The Metropolitan Police hasn’t fired you yet?

The little girl has really wanted to ask this question for a long time.

"Hmph, you little girl may not believe it when I tell you. Don't look at me now being 'collected' by the Metropolitan Police. Your sister's experience in the past is also very legendary. If the opportunity is right in the future, I will tell you about it slowly. .

Of course, even if you put aside these things, my background in the Metropolitan Police Department is quite tough. No matter what troubles I have, my background can handle it. I was nervous just now, but it was just an occupational disease from the past.

Rather than worrying about me, I am more worried about my sister, whether you, Jing Ya, will alienate me after knowing this..."

As she spoke, Mina Okino raised her eyebrows and looked at the little girl.
