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

It was early morning.

The sky over the sea was dark, and seagulls flew low, crying out incessantly.

After having breakfast, the passengers went to the deck of the passenger ship to enjoy the sea breeze and the sea view.

On the deck, Lin Xiaofeng unexpectedly encountered Kogoro Mouri and Conan.

Kogoro Mouri was also taken aback. However, the person who caught Kogoro Mouri's attention was not Lin Xiaofeng, but his old classmate, Yukiko Kudo.

Kudo Yurei Kiko, with a face as beautiful as a lotus blooming in the mortal world, elegant and refined. Her long, black hair cascades down like a waterfall, adding to her pure and innocent charm. Her eyebrows are like ink, her eyelashes are curved, and her face is delicate and beautiful, without any makeup. She wears a clean white short-sleeved dress and denim shorts, paired with white flat sandals. Even in flat shoes, her long, beautiful legs are perfectly showcased, making one's heart flutter.

Kogoro Mouri was stunned by Yukiko Kudo's beauty. He felt that his old classmate was becoming more and more beautiful the more he looked at her, especially after she returned to Tokyo. She was even more beautiful than he remembered. He immediately went over to greet his old classmate.

"Yukiko—what a coincidence!"

"Yes."

Yukiko Kudo gave Kogoro Mouri a cold look.

"It's not that I'm trying to flatter you, but I feel that you're getting more and more beautiful, even more so than when we were classmates."

"Really? It must be Lin Xiaofeng's vital energy that's nourishing me, making me younger and more beautiful."

Yukiko looked at Lin Xiaofeng with love. It was Lin Xiaofeng who brought her spring. If it weren't for Lin Xiaofeng, her life would have become boring, bland and lifeless.

"Huh? Lin Xiaofeng is here too?"

Kogoro Mouri looked at Lin Xiaofeng in confusion. It really was Lin Xiaofeng. Without a doubt, Lin Xiaofeng was with Yukiko Kudo. He was so envious.

"Detective Mori, we meet again."

"Kid, you're really lucky. You've actually made my dream come true."

Kogoro Mouri looked displeased. He had once fantasized about marrying both Eri and Yukiko, enjoying the bliss of having two women on each side. Fantasy is just fantasy, but Lin Xiaofeng actually made it a reality. Not only that, Lin Xiaofeng also seduced his daughter and her best friend—he was utterly inhuman.

"Beauties are only meant for the strong." Lin Xiaofeng laughed smugly, secretly pleased with Kogoro Mouri's envious and jealous expression.

"hateful!"

Knowing he had no chance, Kogoro Mouri gave up.

In the blink of an eye, Kogoro Mouri saw another stunning beauty, a vision of beauty, radiant as the moon, dressed in a kimono, and she captivated him. Wasn't this the ideal Japanese woman in his heart?

"Sister, you are so beautiful!"

Kogoro Mouri immediately moved closer to Shizuka Ikenami.

"May I ask, beautiful lady, are you worthy of marriage?"

"Hey you weird old man, what do you want? She's my mom!"

Heiji Hattori immediately stepped in front of Shizuka Ikenami, glaring angrily at Kogoro Mouri.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri did not back down; he was truly audacious.

"Kid, would you mind having a dad?"

"I already have a father, I don't need one!"

Hattori Heiji's forehead was covered in spittle marks; he really wanted to beat up the strange old man in front of him.

"Uncle, that's enough."

Conan Edogawa tugged at Kogoro Mouri's trouser leg, trying to calm him down.

"Yes--"

Kogoro Mouri was dejected. Even if he met a woman he liked, he had no chance. He wished he hadn't gotten a divorce.

"Lin Jun, who is that strange old man?" Yuanshan and Ye asked in a low voice.

“Oh, Miss Toyama, he is the legendary sleeping detective—Kogoro Mouri,” Lin Xiaofeng replied.

"The sleeping detective—Kogoro Mouri, is that him?" Kazuha Toyama looked incredulous.

"This kind of person doesn't deserve to be a famous detective. There must be something fishy about him. I need to investigate him."

Heiji Hattori naturally wouldn't directly ask Kogoro Mouri, but instead set his sights on the little boy next to Kogoro Mouri, Conan Edogawa, and struck up a conversation with him.

This conversation was incredible! Conan Edogawa and Heiji Hattori were like a perfect match, they hit it off!

Conan Edogawa and Heiji Hattori, despite meeting for the first time, felt like a match made in heaven, a perfect pair. They had endless topics to talk about and spent all their time together.

This made even Hattori Heiji's childhood friend jealous. Toyama Kazuha had never seen Hattori Heiji get along so well with someone before. She wondered what kind of magic that little boy possessed.

……

Once the ship docked, the group went to the hotel that Hattori Heiji had booked beforehand.

In order to continue spending time with Conan, Heiji Hattori invited Conan to come with him, and Conan naturally agreed.

"Hattori-kun, it seems you really like Conan?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.

"Lin-kun, let me tell you, this Conan is extraordinary. He's practically a born detective, it's unbelievable," Hattori Heiji exclaimed.

“I already knew that. I’ve known Conan for a long time,” Lin Xiaofeng said.

Conan explained, "Brother Xiaofeng, here's what I'm thinking: if the three of us are together, we can discuss any clues about the mermaid killing people. With the three of us together, what case can't we solve?"

Lin Xiaofeng yawned: "I'll pass. Conan, you and Hattori are enough, I won't be a third wheel."

"What are you saying, Brother Xiaofeng!" Conan pouted, looking sullen.

237. Shizuka Ikenami will also be living in the Kudo family's house.

After packing their luggage, the group of six decided to split up.

Heiji Hattori, Conan, and Kazuha Toyama form a group of three.

Lin Xiaofeng, Yukiko, and Jinghua formed a group of three.

Conan naturally knew what Lin Xiaofeng was thinking and gave Hattori Heiji a sympathetic look. It was likely that Hattori Heiji would suffer the same fate as him—his mother would be taken away by Lin Xiaofeng. However, there was nothing Conan could do about it; even if he sympathized with Hattori Heiji, there was nothing he could do to help.

"Heiji, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Aunt Shizuka to be separated from us?" Toyama Kazuha whispered to Hattori Heiji.

“What’s wrong with that? Lin Xiaofeng is very strong. I’m at ease with my mother by his side.” Hattori Heiji was very confident in Lin Xiaofeng.

"Hehehe..." Conan chuckled dryly a few times and followed Hattori Heiji away.

Seeing the three leave, Yukiko asked curiously, "Kaze, are we also going to investigate a case?"

Lin Xiaofeng chuckled and said, "Leave the investigation to Conan and Hattori-kun; I don't need to get involved. I'll take you and Jinghua to the island for some fun."

Yukiko asked, puzzled, "Why did you call Mrs. Hattori by her first name? That's very impolite. She's Hattori-kun's mother."

Lin Xiaofeng said, "Mrs. Hattori is no longer Mrs. Hattori. She has divorced Hattori Heizo and is now my wife!"

"What did you say?!" Yukiko's eyes welled up with tears; she was completely bewildered.

Lin Xiaofeng reached out and pulled Chi Bojinghua into his arms around the waist.

Shizuka Ikenami did not resist; instead, she looked shy, which Yukiko immediately understood.

……

On the shore, a man and two women sat on a large rock, looking at the gloomy sea in the distance.

A flock of seagulls circled nearby, and every now and then one or two would fly in from a distance.

Yukiko told Shizuka about her husband renting her out to Lin Xiaofeng. Shizuka then told Yukiko that her ex-husband had a congenital erectile dysfunction. Yukiko and Shizuka understood each other and agreed to stay with Lin Xiaofeng together.

The premise is that he cannot neglect one woman for the other; he must take good care of both women. This requires Lin Xiaofeng to have enough energy and stamina to satisfy the emotional needs of the two stunningly beautiful women and allow them to experience the pleasure of being a woman.

Lin Xiaofeng was confident that this was definitely not a problem.

"Jinghua, this time, don't go back to Osaka. Stay with me and Yukiko at the Kudo house."

"Xiao Feng, you're really killing me with your heart. Not only did you sleep with Kudo Yusaku's wife, but you also want to live in Kudo Yusaku's big house."

"It's not necessary for you to stay at the Kudo's house. Where would you like to stay? Just tell me."

Lin Xiaofeng has 600 million yen in his account, enough to rent a fantastic apartment. Why rent, not buy? In Japan, renters and owners have equal rights; there's no expectation of property appreciation, so renting is fine, no need to buy. If he gets tired of it, he can always move and continue renting.

"It's fine to stay at the Kudo's house for now. We can move out when Kudo Yusaku comes back." Kudo Yukiko didn't hold back at all in taking advantage of her husband.

Then, Kudo Yukiko persuaded Ikenami Shizuka: "Shizuka, you don't need to be polite with me. Just stay at my house. My house is big enough, and I won't charge you rent. Let's squeeze Lin Xiaofeng dry so he can't philander."

Shizuka Ikenami had no other choice but to agree. However, she was quite surprised; after all these years, Yukiko Kudo had changed so much.

"Yukiko has changed, but haven't I changed too?"

Lin Xiaofeng sat on the rocks and talked with the two women for a while before receiving a call from Hattori Heiji.

"Lin-kun, the villagers say that Kadowaki Saori disappeared three days ago. Some villagers say she might have taken a boat to the main island, but if that letter asking for help wasn't a prank, she's probably in grave danger. We're going to the specialty shop where she works on the corner now. If you want to come, just come here."

"Oh, I see."

Lin Xiaofeng put away his phone and said to the two women, "Hattori-kun has found something. Shall we go take a look?"

Since Yukiko and Shizuka had nothing else to do, they went over with Lin Xiaofeng to check on the situation.

Lin Xiaofeng recalled the plot of the animated film.

"The longevity granny on American Island is actually a shrine maiden named Shimabukuro Kimie in disguise. The festival is just a hoax to attract tourists. The previous longevity granny was Shimabukuro Kimie's mother in disguise. Shimabukuro Kimie's mother was killed by her friends, who thought the longevity granny was real and went mad in their quest for immortality. They tried to attack her mother, but ended up locking her in a warehouse and burning her to death."

Kimie Shimabukuro is the murderer behind a series of events on the American island. In order to avenge her mother, she killed all the friends involved in burning her mother to death.

Kimie Shimabukuro is one of the few people in the Detective Conan world who can perfectly disguise himself. It's a waste for such a talent to be in prison; they should be recruited into the organization.

Lin Xiaofeng is now an organizational cadre and has the authority to recommend new members to the organization.

Before meeting up with Heiji Hattori, Kazuha Toyama, and Conan, Lin Xiaofeng made a side trip to Saori Kadowaki's house.

Lin Xiaofeng told Yukiko and Shizuka to wait for 1, 2, 3, and then knocked on the door of Kadowaki Saori's house.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door, and the man who opened it reeked of alcohol. His eyes were red and he squinted at Lin Xiaofeng, seemingly trying to identify him. After a while, he said, "Who are you? You're not that wild girl Saori found a man outside, are you?"

"Hello, I'm just a friend she met in Tokyo," Lin Xiaofeng said indifferently, handing over the bottle of wine he had bought. "I came to Mermaid Island for the festival and wanted to visit her. Is she home?"

“Saori isn’t home. She left four or five days ago and hasn’t come back yet, but I think she’ll be home soon…”

Lin Xiaofeng stared at the man: "Do you know where she went?"

Hearing Lin Xiaofeng's polite words, the man chuckled dryly, "I don't know either. She's always been a restless child, always running around..."

Lin Xiaofeng glanced into the room. The curtains were drawn, making it quite dark. The floor was a bit messy, and there was a strong smell of smoke and alcohol. "Since she's not here, I'll come back to visit another day."

The man, drunk, closed the door.

Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of the door, recalling the plot of the cartoon.

"The original storyline didn't explain Kadowaki Saori's whereabouts, so it's very likely she's already dead."

238. The Gentle and Sweet Shrine Maiden

American Island Shrine.

"My great-grandmother's age?" The shrine maiden Shimabukuro Kimie held the gohei (a type of shrine maiden's offering) used for prayer and purification, her voice gentle yet earnest. "Actually, she wasn't 200 years old as people say. She just turned 130 this year. You can find out by checking the household registration office. She just lived a little longer than others, yet she caused such a commotion."

"Of course..." Kazuha Toyama's forehead was sweating.

Hattori Reiheiji said, "To live to be 130 years old is already quite an amazing thing... isn't it?"

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng arrived at the shrine with Yukiko and Shizuka.

Lin Xiaofeng carefully examined the shrine maiden. Shimabukuro Kimie, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit, had a gentle and sweet appearance, which further strengthened his resolve to bring Shimabukuro Kimie into the organization.

"Hattori-kun, we're here. Are you investigating or gossiping?" Lin Xiaofeng spoke up.

"Uh, Lin-kun, you're here..." Hattori Heiji wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a defense, "An investigation should proceed step by step!"

Yukiko and Shizuka followed behind Lin Xiaofeng without making a sound, simply watching curiously from the side. They were quite interested in whether it was true that eating mermaid flesh could grant immortality.

"Um..." Conan asked, tilting his head back, "Witch sister, where is your great-grandmother?"

Shimabukuro Kimie patted Conan's head and smiled, "She's in her room right now, preparing to imbue the three arrows that will be given to someone later with magic."

"Did that old lady really eat mermaid flesh?" Kazuha Toyama couldn't help but lean closer and ask.

Hattori Heiji was speechless: "..."

"Huh?" Shimabukuro Kimie was taken aback, then burst out laughing. "Hahahaha... How could there possibly be mermaids in this world... That's a lie!"

"Huh?" Kazuha Toyama was stunned by Kimie Shimabukuro's laughter. "But...but it's the 'Dugong's Arrow'..."

Kimie Shimabukuro stopped laughing and explained seriously, "My late mother said that the arrow was originally meant to represent a forbidden spell used to exorcise demons. However, because my great-grandmother lived a very long life, the people on the island associated it with mermaids and changed it to represent a dugong that lives in the sea, thus creating the Dugong Arrow... ~ ..."
