An infinite journey starting from paradise

Nikaidou Masashi, who had something to hide, naturally noticed this. Although he was currently in the "big-headed son, small-headed father" thinking state, his big head immediately figured out Odagiri Toshiya's intention. So, he deliberately walked to the door of Shii Reika and pretended to open it.

At the same time, he turned around and looked at Odagiri Toshiya, and said impatiently: "What are you looking at? Is there anything else?"

"Ah, nothing. Goodbye."

Odagiri Toshi was also afraid that Nikaidou Masaji would realize what he was going to do, so he wrote down which "Nikaidou Masaji's room" was, and then turned around and pretended to go downstairs to the hall, but actually hid in the middle of the stairs.

Seeing this, Nikaidou Masaji quietly knocked on the door and called for Yotsugu Reika. Note that Ichieda Takashi was hiding behind the corner of the stairs at this point. He could hear the conversation between Odagiri Toshiya and Nikaidou Masaji, but he didn't see the entire process. Therefore, in his understanding, Nikaidou Masaji had returned to his room, and Odagiri Toshiya was also coming downstairs. Now, he only needed to wait for Odagiri Toshiya to return to the hall before he could prepare to kill.

Let’s not talk about Odagiri Toshiya who pretended to go downstairs and Ichieda Takashi who was about to freeze his hands, and let’s talk about Nikaido Masaji who asked to open the door of Shioi Reika’s room.

When Yotsuba heard the rather cautious knock on the door, she thought it was Odagiri Toshi who had taken the bait. She got up and opened the door, but by the candlelight, she saw Nikaidou with a fawning look on his face.

"You...what are you doing here?" Shijing Lihua said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

The last person she wanted to see right now was Nikaidou Masaji. Remember the other reason why Yotsugu Reika wanted to seduce Odagiri Toshiya, which was mentioned earlier?

That is, she wanted to use Odagiri Toshiya's identity as the second generation of a top police officer to "deal with" the "evil" Nikaido Masashi.

As for why...

"Shh~" Nikaidou Masashi put his index finger in front of Yotsuba Reika's red lips, signaling her to be quiet, and locked the door with his backhand.

"Lihua... Were you not frightened by the power outage just now? Did you want me to protect you?"

As he spoke, Nikaidou Masaji put his hand dishonestly around Yotsugu Reika's lower back.

"open!"

"Why are you like this, Lihua-chan? Aren't we supposed to be accomplices in keeping each other's secrets? Come and let me kiss you~"

Looking at Nikaido Masaji who was performing the greasy behavior of a 62-year-old pervert with his 26-year-old body, Shioi Rika showed a look of disgust.

Ever since that incident two years ago, Nikaidou Masaji had often used it to threaten her, first asking her to help improve his position in the Yotsuba Group. Then he started demanding money, then demanding... her body.

Shioi Reika hadn't wanted to be coerced, but Nikaidou Masaji had evidence of their murder, including the murder of Nanao Yaeko. She forcibly removed the photo from Yaeko's life jacket. Nikaidou had brought a Polaroid camera that day, intending to take photos of the club members surfing. Instead, Nikaidou took advantage of the struggle between her and Yaeko to take the photo.

"Lihua, you don't want the police to know about your murder, do you? Even if you are the eldest daughter of the Shijing Group and the heir to the Shijing Group, companies hostile to the Shijing Group will probably be happy to buy this evidence for a high price~"

"what do you want?!"

"You, your first kiss, your first night, your family group, everything you have. I want to be your husband. Don't worry, Lihua, I will definitely spend the rest of my life pampering and protecting you."

"Damn it...you...beast...wuuuuu!!!"

That day, Nikaidou Masaji forced himself on her. She failed to exchange her virginity for evidence that would bring her disgrace and imprisonment, but was instead photographed by that bastard again.

From then on, Nikaidou Masaji frequently used this as a threat to threaten her into having sex. While Nikaidou maintained his usual servile behavior in bed, as his frequency increased, he gradually grew bolder, his demands for sex, money, and status rising. In front of others, he remained a two-faced Tom Boiling Tiger, but when alone with Shioi Reika, he began to subtly consider himself the "master."

To prevent herself from falling completely into Nikaidou Masaji's clutches, Yotsui Reika began preparing to "save herself." However, given her arrogant attitude and quirky thinking, she clearly didn't come up with a direct and effective way to deal with Nikaidou Masaji. Instead, she came up with the clever idea of ​​"finding a new lickspittle capable of dealing with Nikaidou Masaji."

She even made up her mind to use her body to trap Odagiri Toshiya tonight. To this end, she specially arranged the bedroom environment with candlelight, fine wine, and aromatherapy.

However, she didn't expect that the person knocking on her door would be someone else, and she didn't expect that person to be Nikaido Masaji.

Nikaidou Masaji didn't waste any time talking to her. Wasn't this romantic scene prepared just for him? "Rika, Rika, you really have me in your heart. You even have such a little fun. Well, I won't waste any more words. I'll just grab my gun and mount my horse!"

Masaji Nikaido put his arm around Rika Yotsuba's waist and was about to pick her up and throw her onto the bed, then strip her naked and fight her for three hundred rounds.

Shijing Lihua struggled, and a foul smell rushed into her nose: "Wow... wait, don't be so impatient... take a shower first, you smell so bad!"

Rika Shioi thought that Masaji Nikaido would put her down, but he actually carried her to the bathroom.

Just as the two people in Shioi Reika's room were about to start an in-depth conversation, Odagiri Toshi outside also returned to the second floor, ready to search Shioi Reika's room one by one.

Most of the doors on the second floor were unlocked, so Odagiri Toshi began to check each one. To avoid being discovered by Nikaidou Masaji, he moved very quietly, making almost no sound.

After hearing no movement, Ichieda Takashi, who was hiding at the corner of the stairs, went upstairs to start the attack. However, when he was about to attack Nikaido Masaji's room, he happened to encounter Odagiri Toshiya who had returned.

After encountering the "eyewitness" on the way, it was obvious that he could not continue the murder this time. So he pretended to go back to his room on the second floor to rest and exchanged pleasantries with Odagiri Toshi.

Odagiri Toshiya didn't ask Ichieda Takashi about Yoi Reika's room this time, instead pretending to be looking for a vacant guest room to rest and sleep. After all, in Odagiri Toshiya's opinion, Ichieda Takashi was even more of a bootlicker than Nikaidou Masatsugu, and he would definitely use similar tactics to prevent him from contacting Yoi Reika. To avoid trouble, it was better to make up a lie to get away with it.

Ichieda Takashi definitely didn't want Odagiri Toshi to stay on the second floor right now. After all, when he was about to kill someone, he would probably make a noise, and if he was heard, it would affect his plan. So, Ichieda Takashi had no choice but to trick Odagiri Toshi into saying that there were no vacancies on the second floor and that he would take him back to the first floor to find a room.

In this way, the two returned to the first floor and happened to meet Lin Shangren and his team who had just finished inspecting the main switch.

Hayashi Naoto and Mifune Takuya learned that the villa's power outage was probably caused by a short circuit in the kitchen area. Hayashi Naoto then invited Odagiri Toshiya and Ichieda Takashi to help troubleshoot the problem.

Odagiri Toshi certainly wouldn't refuse his boss and big brother's request, and Ichieda Takashi didn't dare ask to act alone in front of the police. After all, the core of his prepared escape plan was his alibi. So he had no choice but to follow the group to the kitchen.

At this time, the two people who started fighting fiercely on the second floor also began to step into the trap set by Lin Shangren...

……

After listening to Lin Shangren's explanation of the case, He Huan asked, "He achieved his revenge by accidentally causing an 'accident'. I wonder what Mr. Yizhi would think? Is there still revenge in this situation?"

"He should be happy that he doesn't have to actually kill someone himself," Lin Shangren replied. "If he wanted revenge personally, there would be no need to prepare so many methods to escape punishment.

And he definitely realized that what happened this time wasn't an accident. It was a blessing in disguise. After all, I had already placed the tools he had prepared for the crime on the passenger seat of his car."

"Tsk, bad taste."

"Really? I just helped indirectly kill two people who deserved to die. At least it's justice, right?"

"So, what is this outlaw who has achieved outcome justice going to do now? Date a lawyer who pursues procedural justice? Or date a prosecutor who exercises procedural justice?" Hehuan asked.

"Neither." Lin Shangren replied with a smile, "I'm going to meet three fledgling thieves?"

"Oh?"

"Just this morning, a new cafe opened on the street near the Maori Detective Agency," Lin Shangren said. "Cat's Eye Cafe."

"Sisters from the next life appeared?"

"It should be, so I'm going to take a look."

What Lin Shangren didn't know was that the people he would meet at the Cat's Eye Cafe were not sisters from his past life, but a mother and daughter...

The author says:

Author's words: There are three chapters in total. The next chapter will be about the coffee shop murder and the next battle with Eri Kisaki.

Something urgent happened, so I'll be absent for one day.

As the title says, I’ve skipped today. I’ll try to make up for it tomorrow. The following are the periods to make up the word count…

Chapter 158: Maori Mother and Daughter and Miyano Sisters (Part 1)

That morning, at the Maori Detective Agency.

School is closed today, and the Shinigami elementary school student, who had only been in school for two days, broke free from the seal again.

The elementary school is on vacation and the god of death is at work. If nothing unexpected happens, the residents of Beika Town will probably have an accident.

However, the residents of Beika Town are lucky today: Kogoro Mouri has not received any new cases, and the Youth Suicide Group has no plans for holiday team building.

So the Death God elementary school student Edogawa Conan can only stay in the Mori Detective Agency and squat in front of the TV to watch "Detective Samonji".

"I heard that the author of Samonji, Mr. Niname Rentaro, is planning to re-serialize the Detective Samonji series. I wonder how Samonji, who perished in the fire along with the murderer, will make his comeback..."

At this time, Conan suddenly heard faint footsteps. He turned around and found that Mouri Ran was tiptoeing towards the door like a thief, as if she was about to go out.

"Sister Xiaolan, where are you going?" Conan asked in confusion.

"Shh...be quiet, don't wake up daddy." Xiaolan made a gesture to silence herself.

At this moment, Conan noticed that Xiaolan was wearing a rather formal suit and skirt suit, a slim-fitting white short shirt with a hip skirt, shiny flesh-colored pearlescent stockings on her legs, and high heels on her feet. At first glance, she had the mature charm of an urban beauty.

Most importantly, Ran, who usually goes without makeup, actually put on light makeup. Even her childhood friend, Kudo Shinichi, rarely sees her wearing makeup.

Looking at the "dressed up" Mao Lilan, Conan asked suspiciously: "Sister Xiaolan, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm going on a date. With your brother Shinichi... Hey, Conan, don't tell dad about this." Ran Mouri answered intermittently.

"Oh...Okay, I understand. Goodbye, Sister Xiaolan."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? Xiaolan is dressed so beautifully, so she wants to go on a date with me... Hehe... Hehe... No, that's not right!!! I am Shinichi!!!"

Conan was a little slow to react before realizing that Xiaolan was lying, but she had already walked out of the door of the Mouri Detective Agency.

"No...I have to follow and see!"

Feeling his forehead turning green, the Death God Elementary School Student quickly put on his shoes and secretly followed his childhood sweetheart.

The Grim Reaper has emerged, and it seems that the residents of Beika Town cannot escape this disaster today.

……

Cat's Eye Cafe in the shopping street of Beikacho Nimachi.

This coffee shop, which officially opened two days ago, is not doing very well. It can even be described as deserted.

When Lin Shangren walked into the coffee shop, there were only a few customers. He was not interested in the business status of the coffee shop, but the owner of this cat's eye coffee shop.

However, after walking to the front desk and using his shadow touch to scan the coffee shop, Lin Shangren was disappointed to find that there was no graceful elder sister Lai Sheng Lei, no sexy second sister Lai Sheng Tong, and no young and beautiful younger sister Lai Sheng Ai in the coffee shop. There was only a bald strong man who was a size bigger than Lin Shangren.

[Name: Ijuin Hayato]

[Race: human male]

[Identity: Former mercenary, bounty hunter, part-time manager of Cat's Eye Cafe]

[Condition: Damaged optic nerve, confused]

[Note: A bounty hunter nicknamed "Umibozu" is skilled in the use of heavy weapons. He appears ferocious, but is actually kind-hearted.]

Looking at the bald, bulky man wearing sunglasses indoors, Lin Shangren fell into deep thought: "Actually, he doesn't look that fierce. After all... he's wearing a pink apron and a red bow tie like Conan. The last time I saw such a fierce yet cool bald, bulky man was in "Gaimu". It was a former French mercenary who opened a pastry shop.

Huh... Umibozu, I remember him being a character from City Hunter, so it's confirmed that a character from City Hunter exists in this world. So what does this world's Ryo Saeba look like? Is he more like the comics character, or will he cosplay Chun-Li's Big Nosed Furniture City God of War?

Although Haifangzhu was half blind and wore sunglasses, as a top bounty hunter he still noticed Lin Shangren's scrutinizing gaze and the faint sense of oppression emanating from him.

"This guy looks familiar... Oh, he's the cop who captured Kaito Kid. What's he doing here?"

At this point, Umibozu is unaware of the three sisters' purpose for coming to Japan. His presence at Cat's Eye Cafe stems from his friendship with Nagaishi, the butler of the Rai family. Nagaishi has asked him to temporarily protect the newly arrived sisters, as Tokyo is currently experiencing a period of unrest.

Lin Shangren glanced at the menu and said, "I'd like a caramel macchiato, and... a pandan leaf chiffon."

"Are you just here for coffee?"

Haifangzhu thought about it and wrote down Lin Shangren's order.

"Please wait."

"Wait a moment." Lin Shangren called out to Hai Fangzhu.

"What else do you need?"

Lin Shangren asked: "Are you the owner of this store?"

"Just helping out, the boss is out."

"I see. Okay, I understand."

Lin Shangren smiled faintly and sat down at an empty seat near the bar. Seeing Haifangzhu turn and walk into the kitchen, Lin Shangren pulled out a photo from the shadow in his sleeve. It was the photo of the three sisters from the next life that he had just stolen from the second floor through the shadow.

"As expected of a German-Japanese hybrid, she's really all plump and slender, each with her own unique charm."

Putting the photo back in its place, Lin Shangren closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.

We've confirmed there are fish in the pond, and we've already baited a spot near the pond. Now we can just wait for the fish to bite. To claim the system reward, we must go through the entire process of catching the Phantom Thief. So, what kind of trap should we set for the three sisters in the next life?

While Lin Shangren was thinking, the door of Cat's Eye Cafe was pushed open again.

……

"Who is Xiaolan going to meet?" This question has been bothering Conan all the way. Even though he has followed Xiaolan out of a block, he still has no idea who Xiaolan's date is.

After all, although Xiaolan was very popular in school, she had few male friends. Besides Kudo Shinichi himself, the only people of the opposite sex she interacted with the most were a few seniors in the karate club. Their interactions were limited to club activities, and Xiaolan had never been seen to have any private contact with them.

"Who could it be? In the past month or so since I've been 'missing', which member of the opposite sex has Xiaolan had the most contact with?"

As Conan was thinking, a stern figure in black appeared in his mind.

"Could it be Lin Shangren? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Xiaolan has met him many times, but that was always at the crime scene. And I haven't seen them have any private conversations...

Hey, Xiaolan stopped. Cat's Eye Cafe, is this shop newly opened?

Seeing Ran Maoli, who was "out for an affair", walk into the Cat's Eye Cafe, Conan, who felt his forehead was green, quietly followed in. The moment he entered the door, he hid behind the large pot of green plants next to the door and observed the people in the cafe among the green leaves.

"An office worker using a laptop, a beautiful woman in a light green skirt, a man in a black windbreaker... Lin Shangren! Is it really him?!"

The moment Conan saw Lin Shangren, he felt as if his brain had been run over by a semi-truck. Could it be that Xiaolan's date was really him?!

"Xiaolan... walked towards him..."
