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

"Hehehe... You're not an ordinary kid, you're Conan."

Conan wasn't angry at Heiji Hattori's unreasonable behavior; instead, he laughed heartily. Playing and joking with Heiji made Conan genuinely happy, even more so than when he was with Ran!

263. Going in both directions

The hotel is located in the woods near Tokyo. After the rain, the air is fresh and carries a faint smell of earth.

"What a boring thing to do! What kind of gathering is this? It's just everyone getting together to do math problems. Do the organizers really think this kind of gathering is fun?"

"Hehehe... It's good that you're here with me, Xiaofeng, otherwise I would be very bored."

Kazuha Toyama looked at Lin Xiaofeng happily. The luckiest thing about this trip was meeting Lin Xiaofeng. While Heiji Hattori's goal on this trip was Conan, wasn't Kazuha Toyama's goal also Lin Xiaofeng? The current situation was a two-way street, and everyone had their own bright future.

Lin Xiaofeng and Toyama Kazuha walked for a while and arrived at a small town. There weren't many pedestrians on the road; most people were probably at work at this time of day.

The two walked to the community center. The spacious parking lot was empty, so big that it seemed like a place where children could play baseball and soccer at the same time—what a waste of land!

Outside, various lengths of boards, soil, and plants are sold. Green cloth hangs on the shelves, perhaps to create a gentle feeling for the eyes? This is a home center with a particularly striking green overall appearance, which amplifies this feeling.

"Would you like to go in and take a look? Is there anything you want to buy?"

"Let's go in and have a look."

Stepping through the automatic doors, a unique, slightly refreshing, and faintly sweet scent wafts through the air, somewhat resembling the smell of cleaning agents.

I wandered around inside, bought drinks and snacks, and put them in a tote bag.

"Okay... Shall we go to the park next?" Lin Xiaofeng took out his phone, which indicated that there was a park nearby on the navigation.

“Okay. Let’s go sit over there.” Yuanshan and Ye Xinran agreed.

Lin Xiaofeng held Yuanshan Heye's hand as they walked along the road.

Komachi's park was deserted, or rather, "abandoned" was fine, but that was actually a good thing for the two of them, as the beauty was bothering them.

The soil underfoot was hard, with stones and weeds everywhere, making it very uneven to walk on. The vending machine, which was placed there for the sake of having nothing, was covered with cobwebs, and the bench looked like it hadn't been repainted in years, with the paint peeling off to reveal the wood underneath.

The two sat down on a long bench.

"for you."

Lin Xiaofeng handed the canned juice he had bought to Yuanshan and Ye.

"Thank you."

Kazuha Toyama took the juice can, opened it, and started drinking.

Lin Xiaofeng opened a can of cola and started drinking it as well.

The two sat there, enjoying the warm morning sun, feeling quite content.

Lin Xiaofeng noticed that there were swings in the park.

"Kazuha, want to play on the swing?"

"Okay."

Kazuha Toyama sat down on the swing. Lin Xiaofeng was about to go to the back to push the swing, but Kazuha Toyama pulled him down to sit with her.

"Can a swing support the weight of two people?" Lin Xiaofeng wondered.

“Of course, it’s a swing made of iron chains,” said Toyama Kazuha.

Once seated, the two instinctively planted their feet on the ground, starting the swing. Gripping the chains, which were swaying under their combined weight, as if resisting gravity, they gradually increased the amplitude of the swing with a loud thud.

"Make it bigger," Yuanshan Heye urged Lin Xiaofeng, telling him to put in more effort.

"No problem." Lin Xiaofeng was worried that Yuanshan and Ye would be scared, so he didn't dare to use force.

Lin Xiaofeng activated the Cherry Blossom Flow skill, causing the swing to shake faster. The two of them swung more and more like a pendulum.

Kazuha Toyama screamed with excitement, completely without fear. Lin Xiaofeng suddenly realized that he lacked understanding of Kazuha Toyama. In his mind, Kazuha Toyama was just Hattori Heiji's shadow, completely devoid of any independent thought. Now, after getting to know her, it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

The back-and-forth swinging wasn't a pleasant sensation; it felt like motion sickness. After a while, Lin Xiaofeng applied force in the opposite direction, suppressing the movement of the chains and planks. The pendulum's motion gradually slowed, and the dramatic changes in his field of vision disappeared.

Then, the two of them took a leisurely stroll around the small park.

After leaving the park, the two passed by a bookstore and went in to take a look.

The store was a bit cold, but there was a lot of light, which gave people a strangely incongruous impression.

"Welcome..." The old man didn't look up, only mumbled a greeting, it seemed he valued sleep more than business.

Surprisingly, the books sold inside were all unsuitable for children.

It would be fine if Lin Xiaofeng came alone, but the problem is that he brought a girl with him.

"These are all books like this, Xiaofeng, do you usually read them?"

"dont see."

Lin Xiaofeng said that he usually focuses on practical experience and has no interest in books.

"That's right. Now Xiaofeng has Aunt Yukiko and Aunt Jinghua. They are both beautiful and mature women who can handle Xiaofeng's desires perfectly well, isn't that right?"

"Ah ha ha……"

Lin Xiaoqunfeng* doesn't know how to delete the private reply. The reply is either "seven" or "delete" and not "four," neither of which is quite appropriate.

"Xiaofeng, you prefer women of your mother's generation, right?"

"It's a misunderstanding..." Lin Xiaofeng simply liked beautiful women, nothing more. "I was just helping them water and fertilize, nourishing them..."

"My values ​​are very sound; if you don't believe me, ask Sonoko and Ran."

"Heh... divide."

Yuanshan and Ye thought Lin Xiaofeng was good in every way, except that he was too reckless. Not only did he start a harem, but he also took his friend's mother into the harem.

The two left the bookstore, strolled around Komachi for a while, and then it was lunchtime.

There weren't many restaurants to choose from in the small town, so we found a casual, affordable place to eat.

Welcome!

The difference from a bookstore can be seen from this very imposing greeting. The efficient and cheerful clerk greets customers warmly.

This was a self-service restaurant, with yellow plates piled up near the entrance. Lin Xiaofeng took two plates, one for He Ye and the other for himself, and walked around the tables laden with food.

264. Hattori Heiji not only sent his mother a gift, but also his childhood friend.

Ignoring the little incident involving Lin Xiaofeng and Yuanshan Heye, the Holmes tour group's itinerary was no different from the original plan.

By the time dinner was over, Lin Xiaofeng and Yuanshan Heye returned to the hotel, while most of the invited guests had completed Sherlock Holmes' 1000 Questions.

"Hattori-nii-san," Conan asked in a childish voice, "Won't you get kicked out if you don't do your homework?"

"Of course not," Hattori Heiji said confidently, "because!"

He slammed the workbook onto the table with a "bang": "I've finished!"

Conan was immediately dumbfounded: "When did you write this...?"

"...Ah, Hattori-nii, you copied mine??"

With lightning speed, Fu Lingbu Ping Mengci covered Ke Lingnan's mouth, threatening, "If you say that again, I'll throw you out!"

"Ugh...ugh..." Conan's face turned red with discomfort, and he kicked his legs wildly. "Let go!!"

While Heiji Hattori and Conan were fooling around, they saw Lin Xiaofeng and Kazuha Toyama return.

"You're back? Where did you go? Why are you so late?"

Heiji Hattori put Conan down and questioned the familiar couple in front of him.

　137 "Kazuha and I played in the nearby town."

Lin Xiaofeng answered calmly.

"Then you answer the questions..."

"Of course I won't answer. It's supposed to be a trip, but the itinerary is a quiz. Is there really no problem with that?"

"But……"

Heiji Hattori thought that if he didn't answer the question, he would be kicked out.

Kazuha Toyama said bluntly, "If we really get kicked out, I'll just stay at a hotel with Lin Xiaofeng, and we'll share a bed."

Kazuha Toyama still harbors feelings for Heiji Hattori and deliberately provokes him.

However… Hattori Heiji's face turned cold, and he said unhappily, “Kazuha, you’re so annoying. Isn’t it enough that you’re always bothering me? Do you have to bother Hayashi too?”

Upon hearing Hattori Heiji's words, Toyama Kazuha wanted to break off their friendship on the spot. However, recalling past experiences, she realized that Hattori Heiji was just that kind of person, and it wasn't worth getting angry with him.

"Hmph! Xiao Feng would love for me to keep bothering him, wouldn't he?"

Yuanshan Heye deliberately put her arm around Lin Xiaofeng's neck, smiling sweetly.

"Ah...yes, I'm not afraid of being bothered (bhbe)."

Hattori Heiji looked disdainful, thinking that Lin Xiaofeng was going too far in favor of Toyama Kazuha.

For Hattori Heiji, women were incredibly annoying and irritating. Lin Xiaofeng's way of going along with the girl was a disgrace to detectives, and as a high school detective himself, he couldn't afford to lose face like that.

Just as Hattori Heiji and Lin Xiaofeng were having a disagreement, they heard Fujisawa Toshiaki's impatient complaints coming from the side.

"Where's Hiroyuki Kanaya? It's already past nine o'clock, when is the final Q&A session he mentioned going to start?!"

“Yeah.” Maria Toda, whose attire was rather eccentric, was also baffled. “I finally finished all 1,000 questions, when will he grade them?”

The shop assistant, Hitomi Iwai, quickly reassured him, "My orders were to serve the customer until he arrived."

"Oh, what does it matter?" Kawazu Ikuo said impatiently. "Let's just go over there and give him a shock."

"Wow, that's really scary."

"Let's go, let's go, I can't wait any longer."

"Well, but the master won't allow you to..."

"Forget it!" Fujisawa Toshiaki suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "Never mind, I'm going to sleep!!"

Heiji Hattori immediately raised his hand in agreement: "I'm going back to my room too, I'm so sleepy. By the way, Conan, you stayed up all night last night, aren't you sleepy yet?"

"I'm not sleepy. I'm staying. I'm determined to get the prize." Conan, with his panda eyes, persisted.

Although several people gradually left the lounge, Hattori Heiji stayed because his friends hadn't. He hadn't done a single problem last night and had gone to bed early. But one of his immature roommates, who should have been in bed by nine o'clock, stayed up all night!

"Lin-kun, I have a question for you?" Hattori Heiji leaned closer to Lin Xiaofeng, sat down next to him, and looked mysterious.

"Oh. What do you want to ask, Hattori-kun? Please feel free to ask," Lin Xiaofeng asked.

"I'm really curious. Where did Shinichi Kudo from Kanto go? I haven't heard from him at all. I know you must know something. Can you tell me?"

"Of course not. I was entrusted by Kudo-kun to keep his secret. If you want to know Kudo-kun's secret, you have to deduce it yourself."

“Okay… I knew it.” Hattori Heiji looked disappointed. Then, he glanced at Toyama Kazuha sitting on the other side and suddenly thought, “Before Kudo left, did he entrust his childhood friend and mother to you?”

"Yes, just as you reasoned."

"In that case, I'll entrust my childhood sweetheart to you as well."

Heiji Hattori's words startled Lin Xiaofeng. Why were his friends so eager to send girls to him? They really weren't being polite at all.

"Hattori-kun, are you testing me?"

"I really dream about this. Just imagine, my mom is in Tokyo now—if Rikuo Toyama and Kazuha were also in Tokyo, I'd be free, hehehehe..."

"You're overthinking it. Toyama and Kazuha are your classmates; you can't be free."

"Ah... I know, you must have a way. Please, please, please think of a way to get Kazuha Toyama transferred to a high school in Tokyo."

"Hattori-kun, what do you take me for? Doraemon?"

Lin Xiaofeng wanted to as well. However, he also had to respect Yuanshan Heye's opinion. What could he do if Yuanshan Heye herself was unwilling?

"Ugh, it really doesn't work. This is a real headache."

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Hattori Heiji, whose expression was becoming increasingly agitated, and sipped his coffee listlessly.

Kazuha Toyama, standing to the side, had a completely dark expression. She hadn't expected Heiji Hattori to despise her so much. She had been following him around like a shadow all day long. It was so pathetic.

"Xiaofeng!" Kazuha Toyama pulled Lin Xiaofeng to sit with him. "You stay with me and ignore Heiji, that big idiot."

"Haha...okay." Lin Xiaofeng didn't dislike Hattori Heiji too much. Hattori Heiji was indeed a big idiot, but he was quite good to him. Giving his mother wasn't enough; he also wanted to give his childhood friend.

Heiji Hattori was about to retaliate against Kazuha Toyama, even though he was the one who arrived first, but after being met with a single look from Kazuha, he immediately backed down and went to find his Conan.
