Is there anyone who really wants to be a partner of justice?

Ai accepted Shinichi's invitation without hesitation, and then stood beside Shinichi seriously to learn his cooking skills.

However, even though she said she wanted to study hard, Ai's attention involuntarily shifted from the food on the chopping board to Shinichi who was preparing the food.

In fact, Ai was a little scared at the beginning, because the changes brought about by her brother were as if he was another person wearing Shinichi's suit, whether he suddenly became indifferent or suddenly knew how to cook. These changes made Ai feel unfamiliar and inexplicably frightened at first.

However, all these worries disappeared completely a week ago when my brother carried me to the hospital at three in the morning when I suddenly fell ill.

Because this kind of thing has happened countless times in their past lives, so similar, so familiar. And it is precisely this scene that has happened countless times that makes her feel the familiar side of Shinichi again.

At that moment, she understood that her brother was still her brother. He was still full of love and concern for her, but there were only some changes.

For example, he no longer cheaply distributes his tenderness to everyone like before, he is no longer clumsy and ignorant about housework like before, and he is no longer as slow-witted as before...

These changes were what she had expected from her brother. When these changes occurred in her brother, she felt the excitement in her heart for her brother grow stronger and stronger...

strong……

Hard to control...

Chapter 5: The Spicy Flavor

"I'm gonna start now!"

Shinichi and Ai put their hands together and greeted the two bowls of ramen.

Although Shinichi did not have this habit before traveling through time, he followed the local customs and prayed with his sister.

The ramen is very simple miso ramen. In the past, the brother and sister might have just had a layer of bean sprouts, a soft-boiled egg, and a few thin slices of seaweed as side dishes for their ramen.

But now it’s different. Shinichi, who has enough money, must have a good meal, so today’s miso ramen is served with a rich variety of side dishes.

In addition to the above, tonight's ramen also has a pinch of fish cake, corn kernels, shredded black fungus, mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, a few pieces of fried tofu, and fried fragrant whitebait. It can be said to be a family portrait of miso ramen.

If making Japanese char siu wasn't so time-consuming, Shinichi would definitely put in a few slices of char siu.

All the ingredients were neatly arranged in a circle around the soft-boiled egg in the center. It was extremely exquisite. Ai Yi couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she saw it, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel reluctant to let it go.

"Brother, you prepared so many dishes for ramen, isn't it a bit too expensive?"

Seeing Ai Yi's distressed expression, Shinichi smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, Ai Yi. We have money now."

"But that's just a bank loan. It has to be repaid. You can't just squander it..."

Ai thought that when Shinichi said he was rich, he meant that he had just obtained a loan from the bank. In response, Shinichi shook his head and explained, "It's not just a loan. My brother has found a new job now, and the salary is very high~"

"Eh!? Is this true?" Ai Yi was shocked. "You're not very tired, are you? Brother, you said a few days ago that you wanted to rest at home..."

"Don't worry, it's not tiring, and it's very free. I can have plenty of time to take care of you."

"..."

Ai found it hard to believe such a wonderful job that Shinichi described, but looking at his calm smile, it seemed that her brother had indeed found a very good job to support the family.

"Then... could you tell me what the job is?"

This made Shinichi scratch his head in distress. Oh, what kind of job should he make up to fool people?

"Um... Hey, model!"

"Hmm? Model?"

"Yes! Advertising model. This afternoon, I was walking on the street when a scout stopped me and told me that I am very handsome and would be a good model. Of course I would not refuse such a good thing!"

"..."

Model? Ai Yi thought about it. With her brother's appearance, he was indeed handsome. Ai Yi had always thought that her brother was very handsome since she was a child. His height of 179cm was also very good, but... he was too thin and looked like he had no temperament or spirit.

But Ai Yi knew very well why her brother was so thin. If it weren't for her illness that always made her brother worry, he wouldn't be so tired...

If my brother is going to be a model, that would indeed be a good choice, but he would have to look more well-proportioned to be more handsome.

"Then you must eat more! If you keep being this skinny, you'll look listless."

As she said that, Ai was about to transfer some of the ramen from her bowl to Shinichi's bowl.

Shinichi naturally refused without hesitation: "There is still a lot in the pot, Aiyi you should eat more too, eating more will give you more nutrition and become healthier."

Fortunately, Ai Yi didn't ask too much. To be honest, this model was just something Shinichi came up with at the last minute, but it seemed to work well, so Ai Yi didn't doubt it.

Seeing that Ai didn't ask any more questions, Shinichi finally started to taste the flavor of the lucky miso extracted by the system. The so-called miso is actually a kind of bean paste, and spicy miso is spicy bean paste. As a Chinese who loved spicy food in his previous life, Shinichi must try the spiciness of this spicy miso.

However, after taking the first bite of noodles, the action of eating noodles suddenly froze.

"What's wrong, brother?" Ai noticed that something was wrong with Shinichi and asked.

Shinichi said in an extremely disappointed tone: "I want to file a complaint against the spicy miso for false advertising. This stuff is not spicy at all!"

“Ugh…Puchi~”

Shinichi's resentful expression made Ai couldn't help but chuckle. It turned out that her brother would still worry about such things.

"Here, Ai Yi, try it. Is it not spicy at all?"

"Uh... the doctor said..."

"Oh, if you can't taste it, it's not spicy!"

"All right……"

Ai Yi couldn't resist Shinichi, so she took a symbolic sip. In an instant, a fiery impact burst out in Ai Yi's taste buds! It was as if a ball of fire spread from her taste buds to the nerves of her whole body, and the burning sensation instantly spread throughout her body!

"Good! Good! Good!"

"tasty?"

"So hot!!!! Ha!!!!"

Ai Yi opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, breathing heavily. The hot breath condensed into mist in the air and diffused in front of Ai Yi's face. The burning sensation brought by the spiciness made her face instantly covered with sweat, and her face flushed abnormally. Her eyes also seemed a little unfocused because of the spiciness.

"Is it spicy?"

When Shinichi saw Ai's reaction was so intense, he was a little unconvinced and directly opened the Kochi Miso, dipped a little with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It was really not spicy, and even a little sweet.

Ai Yi's face flushed as she gasped for a while, gradually getting used to the burning sensation brought by the spicy food. Then, an indescribable comfort came over her. People with weak bodies are always slow to sense temperature, and they will feel an inexplicable chill even on a hot day.

After eating the spicy miso ramen, Ai felt an unprecedented warmth rising from her body. In the past, her sweating was always caused by physical weakness. The sweat took away her body temperature, making her feel colder the more she sweated, and the colder she felt, the more she sweated.

And now, she was sweating because of her body heat. She had never experienced such a sense of pleasure before!

So, although the spiciness made Ai doubt her life at first, after feeling the hot warmth brought by the spiciness, the look in Ai's eyes when she looked at Xinmiaozeng gradually became hot.

"That...brother..."

"Ok?"

"Put some in my bowl too..." Ai pointed at the spicy miso in Shinichi's hand a little embarrassedly.

"Don't you think it's too spicy?"

"Wow...it's my first time...I'm not used to it, but once I get used to it, I feel pretty comfortable..."

"..."

Hiss...why does it sound a little weird? Is it an illusion?

At this moment, there are thousands of families in Tokyo who are enjoying dinner like Shinichi and Ai, but there are always some people who don't have the leisure time to enjoy dinner, especially those who work as police officers.

Inspector Chiba has become accustomed to this kind of life where he cannot enjoy the right three meals at the right time, but the good thing is that his wife is a police officer like him, and is also his own patrol chief. At least he can always be with his family.

Another big case happened today. A group of biker gang members with heavy casualties were found in an underground garage.

Nine people died and five were injured. All the dead were killed with one blow and cut in half by large sharp objects. Some white silk-like substances similar to spider webs were left at the scene.

The five who were still alive were also severely injured, and all of them had broken jaws, making it almost impossible to question them.

The scene was in a mess, as if it had been visited by a demolition team.

The moment he saw the scene, Inspector Chiba touched his increasingly thinning hair and immediately realized that this case was no longer something he could handle.

If nothing unexpected happens, some big shot will definitely take over this case.

As expected, within half an hour after the scene was discovered, the higher-ups issued a notice for others to take over the investigation and handling of the case, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's task was to cooperate, cooperate, and cooperate.

If you are a young and inexperienced person, you may feel a little unconvinced and wonder why such a big case should be given to other departments.

But at Officer Chiba's age, the impulse and passion have disappeared, and what remains is more of a responsibility to the family and... avoidance of danger.

As a police inspector, he has more or less come into contact with a side of the world that is unknown to ordinary people. For example... many urban legends that netizens use as jokes may not really be urban legends.

There are indeed some monsters that can easily tear humans apart, lurking in some corners of this world. These things are deadly for ordinary police officers. Professional matters should be left to professionals.

such as……

With a sharp friction sound caused by brakes, a peculiarly shaped armored vehicle stopped outside the cordon set up by the police. Inspector Chiba looked up and his eyes immediately focused on the logo on the armored vehicle.

That is a four-leaf clover.

Chapter 6 Four-Leaf Clover

Clover Biotechnology Company. Inspector Chiba is not clear about what this company does. This kind of high-end technology company generally has nothing to do with ordinary people, but he is very clear that this company has connections everywhere.

Because they have an armed force that is even more martial than the police.

Under the watchful eyes of Police Inspector Chiba, the rear door of Clover Company's armored vehicle opened, and a line of fully armed troops filed out of it. Without any greeting to the police, they directly broke through the blockade and entered the scene.

This overly domineering behavior made the police look quite dissatisfied, but no one dared to say a word, because those armed with live ammunition were not a joke.

"Inspector Chiba, nice to see you again~"

A clear and pleasant female voice sounded beside Qianye's ears, and following the troops came out a mature woman in a suit. The woman's appearance could be said to be very stunning, especially her pair of charming eyes that made people instantly think of a fox.

Inspector Chiba took out a cigarette from his pocket with a vigilant look, lit it and started smoking. Then he greeted her with a sense of distance: "Ms. Kurizono, long time no see. The rest is left to your Clover Company."

The woman in the suit smiled kindly and responded, "Then please cooperate with Inspector Chiba. If you have time, you are welcome to visit our Clover Company. Our chairman has always wanted to get to know Inspector Chiba better."

Inspector Chiba slowly waved his hand and refused: "Ah, forget it. I don't have any motivation to climb up. I'm used to sitting in this place and I'm too lazy to move. I appreciate the chairman's kindness."

“That’s a shame~”

Although she was rejected, the kind smile on the woman in the suit's face did not fluctuate at all. After exchanging a few more polite words with Inspector Chiba, she followed the armed forces into the underground garage.

"Oh... let's go, leave some people behind to guard the scene, and leave the rest to those Clover guys." Inspector Chiba watched the armed forces of Clover enter the garage, and then gave orders to other police officers.

On the way back, the young police officer who was driving asked Inspector Chiba curiously: "Chief, who are those Four-Leaf Clovers? I think their weapons are more advanced than those of the Self-Defense Forces..."

Inspector Chiba responded meaningfully: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. It's best not to get involved in some things. This world is not as safe as you think."

At the same time, in the underground garage, the woman in a suit supervised the armed personnel to collect the tissue fluid left by Spider-Man during the battle. At the same time, she glanced at the surveillance video, which was showing the murderous duel between Spider-Man and Dragon Fang.

Then, the woman in the suit made a phone call and explained the situation respectfully: "President, the spider experiment subject has been confirmed dead, and the video has been sent to you. It was an unknown person wearing black armor. Judging from his physical qualities, he may be a new human."

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said meaningfully, "No, it's not... um... dispatch all the surrounding video equipment to identify this person."

Hearing that, the woman in the suit's eyes suddenly revealed a dangerous and fierce look: "Since it's not a new human, do we have to get rid of it?"

"No... Contact him first. Hmm... maybe this person is not necessarily my enemy."

"President...you seem to know something about him?"

“…More or less.”

The president said something ambiguous and didn't say anything else.

"So, what about the spider thing?"

"He's just a defective product that can't even maintain a human form. If he's dead, then he's dead. Recover his remaining tissue fluid. After all, it's an asset of the company. Even if he's dead, he has to leave some value to the company. By the way, analyze what force killed the spider."

After saying that, the president ended the conversation, and the woman in the suit hung up the phone respectfully, but her eyes did not become calm because of the president's request. Perhaps, the upcoming contact would not be calm.

……

"I can't hold it anymore, girls! I met a stupid guy today..."

Chiba Mihui angrily recounted in the group what happened to her today. She clearly had good intentions and wanted to help that person, but he just ran away after entering the toilet. She was so stupid as to wait outside the men's toilet for half an hour and was almost mistaken for a female pervert!

Naturally, the friends in the group shared a common hatred for the enemy and spoke up for Chiba Meihui. With the comfort of Jimei in the group, Chiba felt a little better, but he was still a little angry.

After all, I am a high-quality girl at the level of a school beauty. I have never been treated like this since I was a child. He even has to hide in the toilet to avoid me, as if I were a scourge. Am I so unbearable in his eyes?

Thinking of this, Chiba Mihui grabbed the Hello Kitty pillow doll on the sofa and stretched out her claws to crush it fiercely, as if the doll in front of her was Shinichi whom she met today.

This scene happened to be seen by Inspector Chiba who had just returned home. He asked with a curious smile: "Hey, what happened today? You look upset?"

Mrs. Chiba, who was following behind Inspector Chiba, said jokingly, "It's nothing more than a young person's little worry. Maybe our little Meihui found a boyfriend at school who she doesn't like?"
