Why is This Little Brother - Chapter 31

In the end, Orikasa was unable to make an appointment with Itakura Taku. There is no other reason. Christmas is coming. It is said that Itakura went back to his hometown to spend Christmas with his family.

Spending Christmas with my family, I feel like a child… But it’s a certainty that I can’t find Itakura Taku.

No way to see Itakura Taku, Orikasa thought he would spend this Christmas working in the Metropolitan Police Department and a winery, just like before, but Hagihara knocked on his door the day before Christmas. , also brought a small cake.

“An early Christmas present, Manager Poirot’s limited edition Christmas cake!” Hagihara smiled and held the small cake in front of Orikasa.

“You guys, aren’t you going home?” Orikasa Yuyoshi asked.

Hagihara Kenji looked back at his door in confusion: “What nonsense are you talking about, Oorika, isn’t my house here?”

“He was probably talking about his hometown. Who went back to his hometown for Christmas? Like a child, is he still holding socks and waiting for Santa’s gifts?” Matsuda Jinpei said casually.

He glanced at the cake in Hagihara’s hand: “Okay, take back what I just said, you should prepare socks and wait for Santa’s gifts, underage children.”

Yuyoshi Orikasa took Hagihara’s cake and retorted, “Santa Claus is fake, and I’m not too young, so I don’t need gifts.”

“Then what are you holding in your hand?”

“Anyway, it’s not. It’s going to be in a sock, a gift.”

“Okay,” Hagihara came out to smooth things out, “After all, it’s Christmas, and Kojinhei shouldn’t tease Oorika any more. How does Oorika want to spend Christmas? Go out to play? Or at home?”

Thinking of the unfortunate experience of being taken to Dorobika before, Orikasa Yuyoshi chose without hesitation: “I lived at home.”

“I guess Oorika would choose this, so I’ve already prepared it.” Hagihara Kenji moved to the side, revealing the bulging bag that was covered, “It’s a special Christmas decoration, made by the squad leader and the squad leader’s girlfriend friendship. Sponsorship, surprise?”

It’s not a surprise, it’s a shock.

“Why decorate?”

It’s better to type code when you have this time.

“If Oorika refuses, the squad leader will be sad, but Natalie finally agreed to lend us these things.”

Matsuda glanced at Hagihara, and he was still talking nonsense. It was obviously Natalie who said she wanted to go out on a date with the monitor, so these things are not worth giving to children.

Although I didn’t understand what it had to do with Date Air when I was celebrating Christmas, but when I looked at the bag full of it, it seemed that it was not easy to bring these things back, so Orikasa Yuyoshi pursed his lips, “My family doesn’t want it. , let you go home.”

“It doesn’t matter, is Orikasa coming to my house for Christmas?”

Yuyoshi Orikasa just paused for a moment, then Hagihara said, “If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your acquiescence.” After saying that, he pulled Orikasa into the door of his house.

There is a subtle feeling, it seems that Hagihara used the means to deal with girls to himself, is it an illusion?

Orikasa Yuyoshi shook his head, ignored this matter, and sat down at the table to start eating cakes.

Hagihara and Matsuda’s family even have a set of tableware for Orikasa because they are often invited over for dinner.

The cake is a strawberry cream cake, and it is specially decorated with Santa Claus, Christmas tree and other Christmas-filled small objects.

The toys were inedible, so Orikasa took them off and put them aside, scooped out a spoonful of cake and put it in his mouth, the soft and sweet taste filled his mouth.

Although he doesn’t show up often, Manager Poirot’s craftsmanship is surprisingly good, not much better than that of Zhu Fu Jingguang. I don’t know how it compares to Amuro Toru’s craftsmanship three years later.

Orikasa suddenly realized the vague sense of disobedience before: “Is the cake, Poirot’s?”

Hagihara was studying how to get that Christmas tree, and when he heard Orikasa’s question, he answered without looking back, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

What’s wrong? The big question is, why did you go to Poirot? How did you meet the manager Poirot?

Orikasa Yuyoshi has a lot of questions to ask, but he doesn’t know how to ask them. In theory, he should not know this store, let alone what will happen to this store in the future.

So Orikasa thought about it for a moment and asked, “The cake is delicious, can I still buy it?”

“I can’t.” Matsuda Jinping said coldly, “This is the store manager’s Christmas special. It is only available to regular customers and is limited.”

It was the cold tone that could make the child cry, which was seriously inconsistent with the appearance of the bear doll he was holding in his hand.

“Xiaojinping, hang that doll there.” Hagihara Kenji commanded.

“Speaking of which, Oorika, is the doll we went to Dorobica still there?”

The black cat doll that was stuffed into his hat, Yuyoshi Orikasa nodded, “It’s still there.”

“Bring it over and use it as a decoration for Christmas. It’s a souvenir for the first time I went out to play. It’s very memorable.”

Orikasa Yuyoshi nodded, got up, and was about to turn back home, but Hagihara pressed him down, “Isn’t the cake still not finished? Let Xiaojinping get it.”

It seemed that something was wrong with them, but maybe they were preparing gifts or something, Orikasa nodded: “On the bedside table.”

Hagihara decorated the Christmas tree almost, and then dug out two sets of plush clothes from the bag: “How can Natalie prepare such a thing?”

Matsuda returned after taking the doll: “It’s Santa Claus and the reindeer.”

Orikasa looked at the Santa’s clothes unfolded by Hagihara, and made up the appearance of Date Air wearing this red clothes. Not only did he quietly fight a cold war, it was too scary.

But I can’t tell that Natalie is the type to buy this kind of clothes.

Hagihara touched his chin, “I feel that this dress has an unusual Christmas atmosphere.”

“You wouldn’t want to wear this kind of thing, would you?” Matsuda Jinping Banyueyan asked.

“It’s okay to play occasionally. Xiao Zhenping, do you want to try it? There is also a reindeer one.”

Matsuda Jinping ruthlessly rejected Hagihara: “I don’t want it, and the reindeer should be Natalie’s size, so I can’t wear it.”

“That’s true.” Hagihara turned his attention to Orikasa who was eating the cake again, “Do you want to try Oorikasa?”

“Don’t.” Orikasa Yuyoshi also refused neatly.

“Do you want to leave Santa Claus alone? Santa Claus without the company of reindeer is too pitiful. He wants to give gifts to the children alone in the heavy snow.” Hagihara Kenji deliberately said in a pitiful tone.

“You’re not, Santa Claus.” Just wearing that dress.

Matsuda Jinping nodded, “It seems a little pitiful.”

“So?” Yuyoshi Orikasa raised his head, was Matsuda going to put himself in that reindeer costume?

“So I decided to give Santa a reindeer.” Matsuda Jinping said, he picked up Hagihara’s clothes, walked to Orikasa, made a gesture on Orikasa, and nodded with satisfaction, “Very suitable, compared to gunpowder. to match.”

“I don’t wear it, am I not a gift recipient?”

The two police officers added themselves, no matter how they looked at them, they should be the one who received the gifts, how could they become the reindeer who wanted to give gifts.

“Didn’t you just say that you don’t need to receive gifts?” Matsuda Zhen asked in return, “If you know that you are still old enough to receive gifts, don’t make trouble.”

Orikasa, who never expected to be hit by a boomerang:…

While talking, Hagihara had already gone back to the bedroom and changed his clothes. When he came out, he put on his hat and was very happy in red: “Anyway, it’s just the three of us, no one else will see it, did Oorika want to wear it when he was a child? Such a Christmas-like dress? It’s like making up for childhood.”

I have to say that Hagihara’s skill is relatively high when it comes to the fooling person. After he came out, he didn’t say a few words, and Orikasa was fooled to change his clothes.

After Orikasa entered the bedroom, the smile on Hagihara’s face gradually faded: “Xiaojinping, you are in a bad mood after returning from Orikasa’s house.”

“Sure enough, you still found out?” Matsuda Jinping rubbed his face, “I thought I was disguised well.”

“Did you find something when you put out the gift?” Kenji Hagihara asked.

They negotiated in advance, and put the pre-prepared gifts in Orikasa’s house in the name of holding dolls. However, after Matsuda returned from Orikasa’s house, it was obvious that he had something on his mind and walked away several times.

“There is a bug in Orikasa’s house,” Matsuda said.

Hagihara suddenly became serious.

Matsuda continued to add: “There is no electricity.”

“Really a bug?”

Matsuda Jinping nodded: “I have dismantled a lot of that thing, and it is impossible to admit that it was wrong, but I can’t determine the scope of the letter without dismantling it.”

Matsuda Jinping originally only put gifts, he never thought of looking at people’s privacy or anything, but he accidentally chose the place to put the gifts in the drawer of the bedside table, and by accident he put the gifts out of the drawer. It got stuck when it was inserted into the gap.

I could only open the drawer and put things in, only to see the bug dazzlingly placed in the drawer.

Hagihara analyzed in a low voice: “Since it’s there, it’s almost possible to rule out an option that Oorika didn’t know about. Then, either someone else put it on Oorika and he found it, or Oorikasa was put on someone else’s body for recycling. Understand.”

He frowned and thought: “Could it be that we are overthinking things too complicated, maybe it has something to do with his research?”

Matsuda Jinping was silent.

“For now, let’s pretend he doesn’t know about it. Didn’t Xiaozhufu hide it from us at the time? Maybe when the time comes, he will be willing to tell us.” Hagihara Kenji said.

“At that time, I asked him about Zhufu before telling us.” Matsuda Jinping retorted.

“If it was the current Xiaozhenping, would he still question Xiaozhufu like he did back then?” Hagihara asked back.

Matsuda Jinping was silent for a moment: “Probably, no.”

“That’s the reason, leave some space for Ozikasa. No matter what, I believe that Ozuri still trusts us very much, and we can’t live up to his trust.”

Matsuda Jinping was a little irritable and lit a cigarette: “Sure enough, I still really want to beat him up, so it doesn’t make people worry.”

“Give me one too.”

“Although Hagi said it calmly, he is still upset.” Matsuda Jinpei handed over a cigarette.

“Of course, whoever encounters this kind of thing can’t really be calm.”
