"Reina-chan, I've already discussed with Mr. Ichiro, I want to bring you to Tokyo to live with me, although I'm just a new working office worker, but the income should be enough for our life. ”

Lin Shuichi wants to adopt Reina as an older brother and take her to Tokyo to live. However, this matter is related to Reina's future, so it is natural to consult my opinion.

"But in this case, my brother will feel very troubled!" Ling Nai was silent for a long time, raised her head and looked at Lin Xiuyi, trying very hard to squeeze out a smile, but she still cried uncontrollably. Reina stubbornly shook her head and rejected Lin Xiuyi's proposal.

What a stubborn girl! And always think about others! Although it was the first time they met, after a few days of contact, Lin Xiuyi was a little relieved that this sister was not at ease. This kind of feeling is not something that words can describe, and it cannot be explained. Since the death of his grandmother, Lin Xiuyi feels that he has completely become a person without relatives and no reason. As for his mother, who married Hokkaido, he can only think of her when he receives the crab sent from Hokkaido on New Year's Day!

"No, Reina-chan! I didn't bother, because a long time ago, I thought I didn't have any relatives anymore. In the few days I've been living here, I'm so happy to be able to live with Reina-chan!"

Lin Xiuyi said what was in his heart, when he was in Tokyo, he could only spend his evenings in an izakaya every day, and occasionally had dinner with Miko Fukuda, but these could not replace the existence of family affection at all.

Lin Xiuyi's job is to deal with crime, and during the day, he will see all kinds of dark sides of human nature, and at night, when Lin Xiuyi returns home, he will not always be able to get out of these negative emotions. But in the past few days in Heinai Town, Lin Shuichi can forget these annoying things and let his tense nerves be relaxed like never before.

Lin Xiuyi and Reina fell into silence again, Lin Xiuyi actually wanted to live with Reina in Tokyo in the future, but he also knew that he was still a stranger to Reina, and Reina may not trust him.

"Brother, what is your life like in Tokyo?" Reina hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask about Lin Shuichi's life in Tokyo.

"I now live near Kichijoji, and there are a lot of good places to eat and fun, and there are a lot of department stores, and you girls will love it. I'm currently working as a police officer, and although I have occasional busy times, I can leave work on time most of the time. By the way, our neighbor is a cartoonist, I don't know if you've seen it......"

Lin Xiuyi tried his best to collect things that girls of Reina's age liked, but fortunately he lived near Kichijoji, and he could describe these contents in detail. Reina didn't say a word, quietly listening to Lin Shuichi describe his life in Tokyo, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was rare these days.

"By the way, I've also been to one of the best sushi restaurants in Japan, Jiro Sukiyahashi, and the taste is really hard to eat!

Lin Shuichi rarely frequented places like department stores, but he was more familiar with izakaya in Tokyo, so his topic always stayed in this area.

"It's okay, but Dad occasionally asks me to pinch a few ...... when I'm drinking," Reina said thoughtfully, recalling the past.

"In fact, it's not just the sushi in Tokyo that is delicious, but the best tempura restaurant in Japan is the mountain house, and the owner of the restaurant is said to be called the god of tempura. By the way, it's spring soon, so we must go and eat eel rice. Noda Iwa's eel rice is also said to be the best in Japan, and the owner there is called the god of eels, and these things are never eaten in Tokyo......"

Lin Xiuyi tried his best to describe the benefits of Tokyo, hoping to make Reina make up his mind to go to Tokyo with him. Ling Nai looked at Lin Xiuyi's non-stop talking, and felt a little moved in her heart for no reason. She fully felt the heart expressed by this strange brother.

Lin Xiuyi himself didn't know how long he had been talking, he looked at Ling Nai, and Ling Nai smiled at him, but his eyes looked red.

"I'm so glad that my brother is living a happy life in Tokyo!"

Rena replied in a choked voice.

"No, actually, I don't want to stay alone in the house with my family, these things are not so delicious, but the taste of the grilled bamboo fish made by Reina-chan herself is really unforgettable? Lin Xiuyi's eyes met Ling Nai and said to her from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you...... Thank you, brother!"

Ling Nai threw herself into Lin Xiuyi's arms and cried softly. Lin Xiuyi carefully put his hand on Ling Nai's shoulder and gently comforted her.

……

Three days later, the funeral ended after the mourners had left one after another. His father's ashes were placed in the Kurashina family's cemetery and buried with Reina's mother. And Lin Xiuyi also discussed with Reina's uncle about the resettlement of Reina's house and fishing boats.

Because the house Lin Xiuyi is renting now is too small, it is not suitable for the two brothers and sisters to live together. So Lin Xiuyi had to rush back to Tokyo in advance to make arrangements in advance. And the real estate and fishing boat left by his father to Reina will not be easy to deal with for a while, so Lin Shuichi hopes that Ichiro Kurashiwa's family will handle it on his behalf. Of course, Lin Xiuyi would not use the money from the sale of the house and fishing boat, he would save the money and wait until Reina became an adult before handing it over to her.

After making preliminary arrangements for the town of Heinai, Lin Shuichi arranged for a housekeeping company to be responsible for transporting the daily necessities that Reina was going to take away, while Hayashi Shuichi rushed back to Aomori City with Reina first. From here, I plan to take a direct flight back to Tokyo.

However, just before Lin Shuichi left to return to Aomori City, he received a call from Uchikai Ryuichi. It was learned from the phone that the prosecution did not intend to prosecute Sakurako Sakurai for homicide.

Because before Sakurako killed Kenji Mukai, Kenji Mukaijima was trying to insult Sakurako. According to Article 36, Paragraph 1 of the Japanese Penal Code, "In the case of imminent unjust infringement, the person who commits an act of last resort in order to defend the rights of himself or others shall not be punished." and item 2 - "For acts that exceed the level of defence, the sentence may be reduced or waived, depending on the circumstances." "Embodying the spirit of the law, Sakurako Tazui will be exempt from punishment.

However, her hiding of the body violated the criminal law by intending to destroy evidence, which carries a maximum penalty of up to three years in prison and a fine of up to 200,000 yen. So if this is calculated, the worst outcome for Sakurako is only a prison sentence of less than three years.

"Sakurako wants to meet you no matter what, and I will say thank you in person!" said Utsumi Ryuichi to Lin Xiuyi on the phone.
