Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

The originally gray sky became clear, and the sunlight shone through the dark clouds onto everyone.

Then, everyone saw Hideaki Hosaka walk into a beam of light, and the moment he entered the light, he turned back and smiled at everyone.

The ghost incident involved both human pranks and ghostly mischief, and Lin Xiaofeng and Tsukamoto Kazumi were evenly matched.

Although everyone saw real ghosts, no one was afraid; instead, they felt warmth in their hearts and were moved by Hideaki Hosaka's wish.

Everyone went home. It was getting dark, and the streets were flooded after the rain, with shimmering water reflecting the sunlight.

……

After Lin Xiaofeng returned home and finished eating, he and Yukiko sat on the sofa, making a lot of noise...

To make it easier to move around, we bought a new, large sofa so that we can exercise in the living room at any time.

Yukiko spread her legs wide, fully experiencing Lin Xiaofeng's rhythm, completely captivated and in blissful bliss.

At that moment, Lin Xiaofeng received a phone call from Hattori Heiji.

"Hattori-kun, you want to come to Tokyo and then go to Mermaid Island with me?"

"Yes. Aren't you interested in the mystery of mermaids?"

Heiji Hattori sounded enthusiastic and excited on the phone.

"Hmm...it's alright. But, did you come to Tokyo alone?"

"No, my mom and He Ye will come too."

"That's it..."

"I can accept Kazuha's situation, but my mom insisted on coming along too. I'm really at my wit's end."

"Ah...it's alright. Since your mother and Kazuha are both coming, I'll go to Mermaid Island with you."

"That's great. Lin-kun, you're willing to stay with me." Hattori Heiji was very happy.

How did you get here?

"We will come by Tokaido Shinkansen."

"Okay, call me when you arrive, I'll come pick you up, and then we'll have lunch together."

"OK……"

Hattori Heiji stared thoughtfully at the disconnected phone. Beside him, the beautiful woman in a kimono, Ikenami Shizuka, turned her head and asked, "Will Xiaofeng come to pick us up tomorrow?"

“Yes, he said he would pick us up and we would go out to eat together,” Hattori Heiji put away his phone, still looking a little puzzled. “But I felt that Lin Xiaofeng’s tone today was a little… well, excited, anyway, it was just strange!”

"Heiji..." Ikeha Shizuka called.

"Hmm?" Hattori Heiji looked at Ikenami Shizuka with a puzzled expression.

"If Mom moves to Tokyo and leaves you alone in Osaka, will you be sad?"

Why should I be sad?

"Shouldn't a child cry their eyes out when separated from their mother?"

“That’s a child. I’m an adult now.”

Heiji Hattori replied irritably. He wished his mother would separate from him, so she wouldn't have to carry a camera around filming his childhood documentary all the time.

Upon hearing this, Ikeba Shizuka smiled contentedly.

Shizuka Ikenami and Heizo Hattori have now peacefully separated and divorced. However, in order not to affect Heizo Hattori's career and not to upset their son, Shizuka Ikenami has kept the divorce a secret.

Although Hattori Heizo was only married to Ikenami Shizuka in name only, he was actually very good to her. While Hattori Heiji was Ikenami Shizuka's adopted son, she raised him herself, so there was still a familial bond between them. Ikenami Shizuka's choice not to publicly announce the divorce is understandable.

"Heiji, you said it yourself, Mom wants to live in Tokyo by herself, so don't be sad."

"Zundu is fake."

Heiji Hattori was taken aback, not expecting his mother to be serious.

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would I tell you all this?"

Ikeba Shizuka was somewhat worried, fearing that her son wouldn't accept it.

"I shouldn't be too happy!"

Hattori Heiji's lips curled into a smile, and he chuckled to himself.

235. Shizuka and Yukiko are old acquaintances.

Although Yukiko was thrown off balance and splashed with water, she still managed to hear the contents of Lin Xiaofeng's phone call.

"Ah... Xiao Feng, where are you going to play?"

"Oh. My friend in Osaka, Heiji Hattori, invited me to visit Mermaid Island."

"Is it the island of the long-lived old woman they mentioned on TV?"

"Ah."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"do you want to go?"

"I want to go play with Xiaofeng."

"Then let's go together."

Lin Xiaofeng thought it would be a good opportunity for Yukiko and Shizuka to get to know each other, so he brought Shizuka to the Kudo family's house as well. Since the Kudo family's house was so big and the Kudo father and son couldn't go home, Lin Xiaofeng decided to stay there for the time being.

……

the next day.

Lin Xiaofeng put on his coat and went out, driving Yukiko's red sports car to the Shinkansen station. Not long after leaving the parking lot, Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha, and Ikenami Shizuka also came out.

"Jinghua, Hattori, Miss Toyama."

A casual greeting.

"We're so sorry to have to come pick us up," said Ikeba Shizuka with a smile.

"It's nothing. I didn't have time to properly entertain Hattori and Kazuha when they came to Tokyo before. I just happened to be free this time," Lin Xiaofeng turned and went to the parking lot. "It's good that you're here too."

"I came here to confirm something with you." Ikeba Shizuka smiled and followed, secretly glancing at Hattori Heiji. Seeing that Hattori Heiji didn't seem to be acting strangely, she felt relieved.

Lin Xiaofeng is calm, composed, and polite. I will definitely not regret following him in the future.

Chibo Jinghua leaned closer to Lin Xiaofeng, and Lin Xiaofeng took the opportunity to grab a handful of Chibo Jinghua's big butt.

Lin Xiaofeng took the three to the sushi restaurant he had booked and treated the three guests from Osaka to a meal.

While waiting for the food to be served, the four of them started talking about serious business.

"Lin Xiaofeng, aren't you curious about where we're going to find the mermaid?" Hattori Heiji asked mysteriously.

Lin Xiaofeng replied, "Isn't that the American islands mentioned on TV?"

Kazuha Toyama chuckled and said, "That's right, we're going to America! Heiji received a strange letter of commission and is going to investigate it. My aunt and I want to go and see too."

Speaking of the letter of authorization, Hattori Heiji immediately forgot his previous frustration, took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Xiaofeng: "This is the letter of authorization. Rather than a letter of authorization, it's more like a letter asking for help, but the content is very strange."

Lin Xiaofeng unfolded the paper.

Shinichi Kudo:

I will be killed by the mermaid.

Please help me!

Telephone:----

—Kadowaki Saori

Just this one sentence, and there are many breaks in the handwriting.

“The writer was very tense when writing, or you could say he was afraid,” Balin Xiaomingfeng handed the letter back to the Commander Ping Wuci. “The breaks and scattered ink dots are flawless, and it doesn’t seem like he was faking this handwriting.”

Heiji Hattori nodded seriously, "I also think the other person must have been very scared when writing the letter."

“However,” Lin Xiaofeng asked, “why does the letter begin with Shinichi Kudo?”

“Uh,” Hattori Heiji scratched his head, “I don’t know either. The strangest thing is that the address and name on the envelope are mine.”

Kazuha Toyama also asked curiously, "I'm also very curious about what kind of person Shinichi Kudo is. I wonder if I'll be able to meet him this time."

Hattori Heiji hurriedly replied, "We won't see him. He's probably busy with some case. We haven't been able to contact him for a long time."

"Huh?" Toyama Kazuha asked in confusion, "I think we mentioned going to the Mouri Detective Agency to find him or something. Doesn't he frequent the Mouri Detective Agency?"

Lin Xiaofeng: "..."

"No, no!" Hattori Heiji said with a smile, "I thought that guy's girlfriend works at the Mouri Detective Agency, and maybe I could meet him if I went there. But that was just a misunderstanding. That guy's girlfriend, Mouri Ran, is now Lin Xiaofeng's girlfriend."

"Oh, right." Kazuha Toyama suddenly realized. "Lin-kun, are you going to the American island with us this time? Will you be inviting Sonoko and Ran along?"

Lin Xiaofeng replied, "They're going to participate in club activities and won't be coming back. However, another friend of mine will be coming."

Yuanshan and Ye asked curiously, "Is it Lin-kun's new girlfriend again?"

"It's not new, it's someone I've known for a long time..." Lin Xiaofeng chuckled awkwardly.

Upon hearing this, Chi Bojinghua was immediately displeased. She pinched Lin Xiaofeng's arm and questioned, "Detective Lin, you really are a womanizer. I wonder who your old flame is?"

"Jinghua, you'll find out then. You might even recognize her."

"Really?" Ikeba Shizuka pondered. She didn't know many people, so who could it be?

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

"Ahem," Hattori Heiji cleared his throat. He wasn't interested in how many girlfriends Lin Xiaofeng had. "Anyway, the letter's heading doesn't matter. I called to ask about the situation later. The first time the call went through, I could vaguely hear the sound of waves and a woman's painful moans, but it was quickly disconnected. After that, I couldn't get through no matter how many times I called back, so I decided to go and check it out."

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Hattori Heiji, "So, what's the departure time...?"

"We'll take the passenger ship tonight from the dock in Shizuoka. We'll stay on the ship for the night and should arrive around tomorrow," Hattori Heiji said.

Lin Xiaofeng took Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha for a stroll in Tokyo, and then met up with Yukiko to take a boat from the Shizuoka pier.

Just as Lin Xiaofeng guessed, Ikenami Shizuka and Kudo Yukiko were indeed old acquaintances and good friends. Kudo Yusaku and Hattori Heizo often worked together on cases when they were younger. Therefore, their relationship was similar to that of close friends like Ran and Kazuha.

. .. ...

Ikenami Shizuka and Kudo Yukiko chatted happily until they boarded the ship. Only then did Ikenami Shizuka realize that she hadn't asked Kudo Yukiko how she had become Lin Xiaofeng's old flame.

On the passenger ship, Lin Xiaofeng and Hattori Heiji shared a room, while Ikenami Shizuka, Kudo Yukiko, and Toyama Kazuha shared another room.

Heiji Hattori went to bed early, while Lin Xiaofeng lay in bed scrolling through his phone.

The girls' room next door is much more lively.

Taking the opportunity, Shizuka Ikenami asked Yukiko Kudo what her relationship with Lin Xiaofeng really was.

When asked this, Yukiko Kudo blushed awkwardly and gave a vague answer. This made Shizuka Ikenami and the silent Kazuha Toyama even more curious.

Yukiko Kudo felt that she was suffering for being too proud, so she decided to just go public with it.

"Lin Xiaofeng is my boyfriend."

"What!" Ikenami Shizuka exclaimed in surprise. In her memory, Kudo Yukiko and her husband had always had a good relationship. "Yukiko, you and Kudo Yusaku are divorced? How come I didn't hear about it?"

Yukiko Kudo said helplessly, "I am not divorced. Yusaku Kudo is unwilling to divorce me."

Upon hearing Yukiko Kudo's answer, Shizuka Ikenami and Kazuha Toyama felt even more incredulous.

Kazuha Toyama couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Kudo, so you're having an affair with your son's classmate!"

236. Conan and Heiji fall in love at first sight.

Yukiko left the entertainment industry with a pure and innocent image. If she were to become a woman who cheats after getting married, wouldn't that ruin her public image? Yukiko was unwilling to admit any wrongdoing and immediately shifted the blame to Yusaku Kudo.

"My husband, Yusaku Kudo, agreed to let me be with Xiaofeng Lin without getting a divorce. My husband knew about it and agreed to it. How can this be considered infidelity?"

Yukiko was perfectly justified.

Such remarks shocked both Shizuka Ikenami and Kazuha Toyama.

The first-rate, refined and elegant mystery writer was actually a cuckold, willingly offering his wife to his son's classmate as a cuckold—it's outrageous! This kind of plot, which only exists in the adult entertainment industry, actually happened in real life. And this was a celebrity couple who had appeared on variety shows and were known for their seemingly loving relationship.

After hearing Yukiko's explanation, Kazuha Toyama was deeply disturbed; it was utterly shocking. "One, two, three!"

As for Chibo Jinghua, she felt that things were definitely not that simple and that she needed to find an opportunity to ask Lin Xiaofeng alone.

The three of them went to sleep with mixed feelings.
