"Actually, the former owner of this art museum's company went bankrupt, so he had to sell the art museum."
Director Ochiai explained.
Iijima, standing nearby, added with equal dissatisfaction, "It was originally agreed that Mr. Manaka would continue to operate the art museum after buying it, but who knew that after buying the art museum, he immediately said that he wanted to convert it into a restaurant? That's just too much!"
"Bang!"
Before Lin Xiaofeng could process the information he had overheard, Guitian on the other side made another commotion, smashing the helmet of a Western-style suit of armor on the ground from the cart.
The commotion caused by Keita also attracted the attention of Mr. Manaka, who immediately put on that mocking look again: "You must be Keita. I've heard rumors about you. Hurry up and get the money sorted out, hahaha."
After saying that, Boss Manaka left with the designer, leaving Keita, who had been mocked, with a dark face, to smash the helmet he had picked up onto the cart and leave angrily.
After this little incident, Lin Xiaofeng continued to stroll around with Xiaolan and Yuanzi.
Kogoro Mouri was puzzled to see a strange man next to Sonoko and Ran.
"Conan, isn't that the new high school detective Lin Xiaofeng featured in the newspaper? How come he's with Sonoko and Ran?"
"Uh...that guy is Sonoko and Ran's classmate."
"I see. So, high school detective Shinichi Kudo was replaced by Lin Xiaofeng, and Ran has taken a liking to the new high school detective. My daughter really has a soft spot for high school detectives!"
"Uncle, that's not how it is at all!"
Conan said with a dark expression.
On the other side, Lin Xiaofeng led Yuanzi and Xiaolan to an exhibition hall called "Between Hells". There was a "No Entry" sign at the entrance.
"Huh? No entry?"
Ran Mouri opened the brochure in her hand: "That's really strange, there should be another room up ahead."
Sonoko said with a smile, "Never mind that, let's go in and take a look together."
Xiaolan hesitated: "Wouldn't that be bad? Besides, it feels scary."
Sonoko said, "What's there to be afraid of? Kaze is right here with us."
"That's strange indeed." Ba Xiao (Lan looked at Lin Xiaofeng with deep affection) glanced at him, and said: "I feel a great sense of security here. It's completely different from the feeling of apprehension I had when I was with Shinichi Kudo."
When the three entered the Hell's Mansion, they were shocked by what they saw inside.
Inside the building, a man in medieval iron armor suddenly grabbed a longsword and plunged it into the heart of the man, the owner of the shop. He then grabbed the man's collar with one hand, lifted and pushed him, pinning the man, who weighed over 100 pounds, to the wall like a chicken.
"What's this--"
"Ahhh-"
Sonoko and Ran were so frightened they could barely stand. The two girls grabbed Lin Xiaofeng's arm to prevent themselves from falling over.
The armored man turned around, revealing a pair of sinister eyes that met Lin Xiaofeng's gaze.
Iron Armor thought he could scare Lin Xiaofeng and then take the opportunity to escape.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaofeng remained motionless, staring directly at him, clearly determined not to let him escape.
"This student is truly courting death! Since that's the case—"
Iron Armorer actually raised his iron sword and pointed it at Lin Xiaofeng.
Lin Xiaofeng was very curious: was the person inside the armor really Director Ochiai?
Can an old man really carry a suit of armor weighing tens of kilograms and a greatsword weighing tens of kilograms?
Lin Xiaofeng had a sudden thought and equipped himself with X-ray vision glasses.
22. Conan gets punched by an iron fist.
"X-ray glasses!"
Lin Xiaofeng saw through the person hidden inside the iron armor; it really was Director Ochiai.
Having confirmed that the blood-covered, armored knight before him was indeed Director Ochiai of the Medieval Art Museum, Lin Xiaofeng said to Director Ochiai, "Director Ochiai, I already know it's you. Put down your weapon!"
"...?!"
Director Ochiai was utterly shocked, wondering how the other party had figured out his identity.
"What?! This person is Director Ochiai?! How is that possible?!" Ran exclaimed in surprise.
"Director Ochiai, an old man, where does he get such great strength!" Sonoko was also incredulous.
However, after learning that the other party was not a ghost, but Director Ochiai, Ran and Sonoko were no longer so afraid.
"Director Ochiai, turn yourself in."
As usual, Lin Xiaofeng tried to persuade Director Ochiai, but he knew that Director Ochiai would not give in easily.
After hesitating for a moment, Director Ochiai decided to kill the witness in order to escape legal punishment for the crime.
Without further hesitation, Director Ochiai swung his greatsword at Lin Xiaofeng.
"careful!"
Lin Xiaofeng immediately pushed Xiaolan and Sonoko aside on his left and right, then turned to avoid the attack from Director Ochiai.
Although Director Ochiai possessed divine power, his attacks were completely disorganized and utterly inadequate against Lin Xiaofeng's advanced martial arts techniques.
Lin Xiaofeng dodged Ochiai Gyōjin's longsword strike, then landed a powerful punch on the armor that had been opened, the inch-force piercing through the armor and striking Ochiai Gyōjin.
His body caused the other person's movements to freeze instantly.
"Haha...that's all!"
Lin Xiaofeng thought he would end the fight by inflicting internal injuries on Director Ochiai.
However, in the blink of an eye, Director Ochiai's movements returned to their previous fluidity.
A slight look of surprise appeared on Lin Xiaofeng's face. He thought to himself, "The attributes of the willow tree in the pavilion are too high."
The armored iron hand reached for Lin Xiaofeng's head, but Lin Xiaofeng, sensing the approach before it even began, dodged the attack once again. He immediately turned and delivered a high, spinning kick, striking Ochiai Gyōjin on the head, causing the man to stagger back several steps.
Lin Xiaofeng seized the opportunity to pursue, kicking away the unsteady Ochiai Shuu's greatsword, and then slammed his iron back into Ochiai Shuu's armor.
There was a loud "bang" sound.
The heavy armor--, crashed violently onto the finned ground, the curator was thrown so hard he was dizzy and disoriented, unable to stand up. (The last part, "漆," appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly. It's something like "lacquer" or "lacquer.")
Ran and Sonoko, who were standing on either side, were stunned. Before they could react, they saw Lin Xiaofeng coolly knock down Director Ochiai.
"Xiao Feng, you're so strong!" Ran, skilled in karate, could naturally see that Lin Xiao Feng's strength was extraordinary, completely overwhelming Shinichi Kudo. Shinichi Kudo still needed Ran's protection, but Lin Xiao Feng was perfectly capable of protecting Ran!
"Xiao Feng, you're so cool!" Yuanzi became a big fan of Lin Xiao Feng after seeing his smooth and fluid fighting style.
Hearing the commotion, Kogoro Mouri and Conan arrived late.
Then you see Boss Manaka nailed to the wall, and the armored man lying on the ground.
At this moment, the armored man's helmet had fallen off, revealing the person inside—it was none other than Director Ochiai.
Kogoro Mouri and Conan were stunned on the spot, and it was Ran who explained things to them and cleared up their confusion.
Shortly afterward, the police arrived at the scene.
There's no need for deduction in this case anymore. Director Ochiai was caught red-handed by Lin Xiaofeng for committing the crime, and even Inspector Megure, that idiot, knows that the murderer is Director Ochiai.
However, Conan was quite confused.
Conan was seen squatting next to the unconscious Ochiai Museum Director, looking puzzled.
"This armor looks like it weighs several hundred pounds, Uncle Mori. If you wore it, would you be able to lift someone up and nail them to the wall?"
"Of course not..."
Kogoro Mouri glanced at Director Ochiai and said without hesitation, "Are you kidding me? This thing weighs several hundred kilograms, how can you even wear it..."
Kogoro Mouri's voice abruptly stopped, and even the police noticed something was wrong.
"That's right, how did Director Ochiai manage to wear armor weighing several hundred pounds and move around so freely!?"
"Framed, framed!?"
Inspector Megure guessed.
"Officer Megure!"
Just then, a police officer excitedly shouted, "We found a note at the scene, and it looks like someone's name is written on it!"
"What!?"
A group of people quickly gathered around and saw the note with the words "Kui-Tian" written on it.
"Hahaha, this must be the message left by the deceased before he died. The real culprit probably never expected that he would miss something like this!"
Kogoro Mouri laughed heartily as he looked at Keita, who had already been brought over: "Right, Mr. Murderer!?"
"what?"
Guitian cried out in panic, "It wasn't me! I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't frame anyone!"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Ran Mouri grabbed Keita by the collar: "If you're not the murderer, why is your name on this?!"
"It really wasn't me..." Guitian hurriedly defended himself against the shock.
Lin Xiaofeng directly said nothing to his father, and the murderer was caught red-handed. This group of stupid detectives are still adding unnecessary details. The incompetence of the Metropolitan Police Department detectives has reached a new low.
"That's enough!" Ran suddenly shouted at the group of detectives. "Just now, Sonoko, Lin Xiaofeng, and I witnessed Director Ochiai committing the crime. Moreover, Director Ochiai even tried to kill us to silence us, but Lin Xiaofeng stopped him."
Sonoko glanced sideways at Inspector Megure: "Inspector Megure, the professionalism of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department detectives is getting worse every day. They actually listen to a child and a muddle-headed detective. I'll consider filing a complaint with the police department!"
Upon hearing Sonoko's words, Inspector Megure immediately knelt down.
"Miss Suzuki, please don't... I was confused for a moment and believed Conan and Detective Mouri's nonsense."
Inspector Megure was filled with regret. He should have just listened to Lin Xiaofeng. Why did he have to do something so unnecessary?
Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro Mouri and Conan with a resentful expression.
Kogoro Mouri and Conan felt their bodies tremble and were speechless under Inspector Megure's resentful gaze.
"boom!"
Conan got a punch from Kogoro Mouri: "It's all your fault, Conan, for talking so much."
"Waaah... I'm so sorry!" Conan's suspicion was just a conditioned reflex; he knew himself that Director Ochiai was the culprit.
23. 槺捐鞯男鹿ぷ魇前镎焯浇饩鲇�
The next day, at the Amuro Detective Agency, Tooru Amuro sat in his chair at his desk, looking at the newspaper he had just bought that morning. The headline on the front page was:
"A high school detective battles an armored man, saves two beautiful girls, and a new savior of the Tokyo police is born—high school detective Lin Xiaofeng."
Amuro Tooru's father couldn't help but inhale through the umbrella (a cool breath) a little wind, Lin Xiaofeng was just like the protagonist of the Super 8 Heroes version of Detective Wu.
"Lin Xiaofeng, you're being way too flashy..."
"There's nothing I can do. I'm a firefly in the night, I can't even keep a low profile if I want to."
Lin Xiaofeng lay on the sofa, playing a pay-to-win mobile game.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
The shrill ring of the cell phone made Amuro Tooru's brows furrow even more.
"Hey."
"Bourbon, is this the good subordinate you trained?!"
Gin's distinctive voice came from the phone, his words radiating murderous intent, which Amuro Tooru could clearly sense even through the phone.
"Gin-sama, listen to me, this is also part of the plan... As a high school detective, Lin Xiaofeng's fame will allow him to meet more important figures, which will help my intelligence gathering work."
Is he bait?
"Yes." Amuro Tooru said cautiously, with a fawning smile. "Gin-sama, I know you have concerns. But please believe me, there won't be any problems!"
Amuro Tooru's tone was firm, giving Gin no chance to refute him at all.
"Is Lin Xiaofeng next to you? Give him the phone; I want to give him a lecture in person."
"Yes."
Amuro Tooru, trembling, handed his phone to Lin Xiaofeng.
And, she whispered a reminder to Lin Xiaofeng.
