"Hello everyone, I'm Xiulin Xiuyi, a friend I just met with Mr. Ikeda. I prepared some gifts for the first meeting. I hope you don't dislike it!"

Because of a piece of Omi beef croquette, Lin Xiuyi accidentally met Mr. Ikeda who lived in the park. After some conversations, Lin Xiuyi gradually came to understand that the homeless people who lived in this park were interacting with each other. , are actually known.

"That... we haven't entertained guests for a long time, sorry, what did you bring? It smells so good!"

"It's croquette, and some cold beer, I don't know if you like it or not!"

"Coke?"

"It must be delicious!"

"Almost forgot what croquette tastes like..."

"This Mr. Lin is really a good person!"

...

Hearing that Lin Xiuyi brought the croquette, a kind of homeless crowd gathered around. Only a few companions who were preparing lunch did not get up, but it could be seen that their eyes were still looking forward to it.

Because of Lin Xiuyi's unexpected arrival, everyone stopped their work one after another, and then gathered around Lin Xiuyi to receive the freshly baked croquettes and beer. Before visiting these homeless people, Lin Xiuyi specifically asked Mr. Ikeda, so the amount of croquette and beer he brought was just enough to distribute to everyone present.

"Ah... croquette and cold beer are really the most delicious things!"

"Oops... I swallowed it accidentally, I haven't had time to remember the taste just now!"

"Iced beer is really delicious. Thank you very much this time, Mr. Lin!"

...

Perhaps it has been a long time since no outsiders have joined these people. Everyone is very curious about the young man brought back by Mr. Ikeda, and Lin Xiuyi naturally has the same heart for these homeless people. .

"Excuse me, do you all eat together on weekdays?"

Lin Xiuyi looked at the half-cut vegetables on the chopping board and the hot soup just boiled on the alcohol stove, and couldn't help asking these homeless people curiously.

"Well... it's true, this park is where we eat and sleep together. But during the day, everyone is not here, only the companions who are responsible for the housekeeping will stay here and take care of everyone's things. "

"Eh...Is this the first time I've heard of it?"

"This is something that can't be helped. After all, if people like us don't help each other, it is easy to be bullied by those tyrants and young people, but if we stay together all day, the surrounding Residents also told the police to drive us away out of fear. So, every once in a while, we changed where we ate and slept. Of course, in return for the neighbors allowing us to live here, we also I'll clean up the trash in this park!"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi seemed to be interested in their affairs, Mr. Ikeda said more casually. However, the speaker had no intention and the listener had a heart. Lin Xiuyi quickly led the topic to the previous case.

"That... can I ask you, did you see anything strange the day the nearby gas station exploded not long ago?"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's question, everyone present suddenly stopped their movements, and then looked at Lin Xiuyi with some vigilance.

"I'm sorry, I haven't asked Mr. Lin what occupation you are in?"

"Ah... To be honest, I'm taking a job at the Metropolitan Police Department..."

As soon as Lin Xiuyi finished speaking, everyone looked at Lin Xiuyi with vigilant eyes.

"Eh... that... did I say something wrong?"

...

When Lin Xiu saw that everyone suddenly became silent, he couldn't help but become restrained.

"Mr. Lin, you came close to us on purpose, you didn't want to find a way to drive us away!"

Mr. Ikeda looked at Lin Xiuyi with an ugly face, and the others in the room silently waited for Lin Xiuyi's response.

"How come, everyone really misunderstood me, by the way... I see that the soup in the pot has been boiling for a long time. In such a cold weather, can you let me taste it?"

"Eh...do you really want to drink?"

When Mr. Ikeda heard Lin Xiuyi's sudden words, he couldn't help but feel very surprised!

"Well... Actually, I wanted to try it just now, but I've always been embarrassed. Is it miso soup?"

"Yeah, but the ingredients used are all thrown away by convenience stores. Although they were thrown away, there is no problem with eating them!"

Mr. Ikeda saw that Lin Xiuyi had a firm attitude, so he really picked up a bowl and filled a bowl of vegetable miso soup for Lin Xiuyi. After Lin Xiu took it, he first said thanks, then blew the hot air from the bowl, and then took a small sip.

"Ah... it's really warm!"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi really drank the miso soup they prepared for him, everyone's initially wary expressions gradually relaxed.

"I thought, the guy who can bring you beer and croquette can't be a bad guy! I was really worried just now!"

"Okay, everyone has received a lot of care from Mr. Lin today. If anyone encounters something strange that day, they must tell Mr. Lin!"

"That..., I encountered a strange thing that day, and I don't know if I can help Mr. Lin?"

"Oh? Really? Then please tell me, no matter how small it is!"

As soon as Lin Xiu saw someone raised his hand~lightnovelpub.net~, he hurriedly asked the other person enthusiastically.

"Then I said it, Mr. Lin!"

"I remember on the day of the explosion, I saw a guy similar to us pushing a car around the area. I thought it was a new companion who brought a new companion, so I paid a little attention, but during dinner, it turned out to be I didn't see the figure of that guy, so I thought it was a bit strange!"

"Oh? Is it someone you don't know?"

"Hey, that guy had a mask on his face and was pushing a car in front of him, but I noticed that his hands were pretty clean, completely different from the rest of us, and I thought it was a little weird at the time. Besides, that The guy came across recyclable trash on the road and didn't collect it like we did. Instead, he was hanging around the whole time, looking like he was in a hurry, like waiting for someone else."

"Really? Do you know where he went after that?"

"Uh... I remember when I was about to go back to sleep, the guy seemed to leave in the direction of the station!" u
