"Little sister, are you separated from your family?"

In the parking lot behind the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building, Mina Okino walked up to the little mixed-race girl sitting on the edge of the flower bed and squatted down and asked with a smile.

When the little girl heard this, she withdrew her gaze from the headquarters building, turned to look at Mina Okino, and shook her head slightly.

"No, I came by myself."

Her expression was calm, and she could even say that it was a little wooden, if you want to describe it in one word...... Probably "three no-girl girls"?

"Huh? Is that so? ”

Mina Okino sat down next to the little girl and continued to smile and asked:

"Did you come by yourself? Not with your parents? ”

This little girl should be the age when she has just entered elementary school, is she walking alone on the street at this age......

Mina Okino looked around and didn't find anything suspected to be the little girl's parent.

"Well, if you come with them, you may not be able to come......"

The little girl replied to her, adding:

"Because they don't want me to walk around."

"Ah, that's ......"

Her words aroused the vigilance of Mina Okino.

Don't want her to wander around outside......

From a normal point of view, this should be a sentence that parents are afraid that children of this age will run around and have accidents, so they will deliberately instruct them, similar to "Don't play blindly after school, go home early".

But for some reason, when this sentence came out of the mouth of this little mixed-race girl, Mina Okino tasted another meaning.

[My family's "control" over me is very serious, and I can't go anywhere except where they have set ...... place]

Frowning slightly, Mina Okino glanced at the little girl again.

There was no sign of abuse or malnutrition on her body, or she even appeared healthy...... Could it be the children of some elite families?

The kind of family that is wealthy and whose parents are successful people who like to raise their children in some extremely strict ways?

Mina Okino felt that she might have found the truth.

"Little sister, can you tell my sister what your name is?"

In just a few seconds, a deduction was completed in her mind, and Mina Okino asked.

Although she was old enough to be the mother of this little girl, she decided to be her sister.

When the little girl heard this, she turned her head to look at Mina Okino again, with a little vigilance in her eyes, as if she was suspicious of Mina Okino's identity and motives.

However, when her eyes fell on the police badge on Mina Okino's chest, that suspicion dissipated.

"Just call me quiet." She replied.

"Quiet? It's a special name......"

This is obviously just a name...... Still on guard, the little girl deliberately omitted her last name.

Mina Okino didn't care either, and continued to ask, "Jing girl, can you tell the police sister what she wants to do here?"

Just now, my sister saw you sitting here alone looking at the Metropolitan Police Department, could it be that you need to ask the police for help? ”

Although it was possible to continue to dismantle the little girl's defenses in the form of small talk, Mina Okino decided to get straight to the point.

After all, she has to go home to cook for Yoko next.

However, in the face of Mina Okino's direct inquiry, the little girl did not give a positive reply.

"Nothing, just curious, so I came over and took a look."

The little girl did not hide her guard, and so said this, she jumped off the flower bed and turned away.

"Goodbye, police sister, it's almost time for me to go back."

“…… Huh? ”

After speaking, the little girl didn't wait for Mina Okino to react, and left with a puff, her steps were very fast.

This gave Mina Okino a a headache.

It was a little uneasy for a little girl of this age to walk alone on the street.

However, her family still ......

Alas......

After struggling for a while, Mina Okino sighed, got up and quietly followed behind the little girl.

It's a big deal, let's let Bai Heqing drive a police car to send her back later...... No, Bai He has a meeting during the day today, so she can only take a taxi back by herself......

Thinking like this, Mina Okino followed the little girl quietly without letting her find out.

As a former monster thief, she was still confident in her ability to hide her aura.

As for the other passers-by on the street...... It's not a big problem, anyway, she's still wearing a police uniform, so there's no misunderstanding.

In this way, the two of them walked one after the other, and the little girl's footsteps were very fast, and after a while, they came to an elite elementary school in the neighborhood.

Mina Okino had heard of this elementary school before, and it was said that the tuition fee was high...... Is this little girl really the child of a rich family?

At this time, Mina Okino realized that this time period usually coincided with the lunch break at school.

Other words...... Did this little girl sneak out of school during the school lunch break?

Just to take a look at the Metropolitan Police Department's headquarters building?

Just when she was surprised by all this, she saw that the little girl did not enter through the main entrance of the school, but went around a corner of the street near the back door of the school.

There, on the side of the road, there was a tree with a slightly crooked trunk that leaned towards the school wall.

[Won't it......]

Mina Okino, who was quietly hiding behind, vaguely guessed what might happen next.

The little girl looked around, and when she saw that there was no one on the street, she jumped up, took hold of the trunk of the great tree, climbed its branch with great skill, and then opened her arms and stepped firmly on the branch under her feet, and walked to the nearest point to the school wall.

Then, the little girl jumped hard again, and under the worried gaze of Mina Okino, she landed firmly on the stone pillar of the school wall, and finally jumped off the wall more than two meters high and successfully entered the school.

The whole process is quite skillful.

"This little girl is really amazing......"

Through the iron railing of the fence, Mina Okino could see that the little girl did not feel any discomfort when she jumped, and she didn't even shake it, and she was also a stable horse.

After falling to the ground, there was no pause, and without even gasping for breath, he ran directly in the direction of the teaching building.

At this age, with this flexibility and physical fitness, this little girl is probably much stronger than other little girls of her age......

It is understandable if you are a child who has lived in the countryside since childhood, but this little girl grew up in the city...... It can only be said that I have a bit of talent, and when I grow up, I may want to consider engaging in sports-related industries.

Without thinking much about it, Mina Okino turned around and left after making sure that the little girl was safe.

Of course, at this time, she did not realize the true identity of this little girl.
