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

Just after Kento confessed to his crime, the sound of police sirens came from outside the hotel.

267. Let's have a party with Yukiko, Shizuka, and Eri.

After the incident was resolved, the perpetrator was taken away by the police, while the rest of the people went back to their hotel rooms to sleep.

Yuanshan Kazuha lay in bed, thinking that she would be parting ways with Lin Xiaofeng tomorrow, and who knew when they would meet again? Moreover, Lin Xiaofeng was a gentleman and had not shown any intention of ambushing her, leaving her with no chance.

"Xiaofeng, are you asleep?" Yuanshan Heye asked, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"Hmm... Kazuha, what do you want to say?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.

"If I really transfer to Teitan High School as Heiji Hattori suggested, would you be happy?"

“Of course,” Hisashi Korin affirmed without hesitation. “Not only will I be happy, but Sonoko and Ran will be happy too. They would love to be your best friends.”

"So, will you take the same responsibility you did for Xiaolan as you will for me?"

"Yes... as long as you don't refuse, I'll be responsible for you for the rest of my life, and I'll have no regrets."

Shinichi Kudo, a high school detective from the Kanto region, and Heiji Hattori, a high school detective with whom he has a relationship, are childhood friends and beautiful mothers. Lin Xiaofeng wants to add them to his harem, making them his women and living a happy and fulfilling life together.

"It's a deal then. Next semester, I'll be transferring to Teitan High School Class 17." Kazuha Toyama made up her mind. She wanted to be Rin's girlfriend along with Ran and Sonoko, so that everyone could be happy together every day. Why not?

"Great!" Lin Xiaofeng laughed heartily. He had been worrying about how to steal Hattori Heiji's girlfriend, but Hattori Heiji directly offered him Toyama Kazuha. It was truly a case of finding something without even looking for it.

As morning arrived, Lin Xiaofeng and Conan saw Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha off at the airport and said their goodbyes.

"Conan, you and Heiji Hattori are such good friends, why don't you just live together? Why do you have to spend all your time with Kogoro Mouri?"

"No way. Heiji-nii is very smart. If I live with Heiji-nii, my true identity will definitely be exposed."

"Then you might as well just be honest with Hattori Heiji."

"No... What if Heiji-nii finds out I'm Shinichi Kudo and stops liking me?"

"There's no need to worry like that. Heiji Hattori will only like you more if he knows the truth."

"Really?" Conan's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true," Lin Xiaofeng affirmed.

Conan heard Lin Xiaofeng's suggestion and felt it was indeed feasible. However, he quickly calmed down; Lin Xiaofeng was no good person and must have ulterior motives.

"Brother Xiaofeng, your purpose in doing this is to use me to keep Heiji-nii in check, and then win over Heiji-nii's childhood friend, right?"

"Yes, that's right. I've taken Heiji Hattori's mother in, and I'm going to take Heiji Hattori's childhood friend in too."

"You're too cruel. You go around taking women everywhere, what do you take women for? Playthings!"

“Conan, you don’t understand at all. This is great love!” Lin Xiaofeng’s whole body, every pore, was filled with the radiance of universal love. “You and Hattori Heiji can’t take care of the women around you. I will take them all on for you and take good care of each one. That way, you and Hattori Heiji can do what you want without being held back by women.”

"Brother Xiaofeng, you're clearly just making excuses and treating me like a fool!"

"I'm asking you, Conan, do you really need a childhood friend and a mommy? What do you truly need? Ask your heart."

Hearing Lin Xiaofeng's words, Conan seemed to wake from a dream. He was a detective, and even as a child, he was still a detective. Being a detective was his life; women were merely his burdens.

Conan sighed softly, "Brother Xiaofeng, perhaps I really have misunderstood you."

Now that things have come to this, he's become Conan, and the prospect of returning to Shinichi Kudo seems a distant dream. He's powerless to do anything now. It's perhaps not such a bad thing that Lin Xiaofeng is taking his place and fulfilling the responsibility.

Conan and Lin Xiaofeng exchanged a smile, their enmity vanishing with a single glance...

……

Evening, in front of a pedestrian street in Tokyo.

Lin Xiaofeng was accompanied by the beautifully dressed Yukiko and Jinghua. Tonight, Lin Xiaofeng brought the two girls out for dinner. In addition to the two girls, Eri Kisaki was also present.

These three women were originally friends, but now they've all become Lin Xiaofeng's women. So Lin Xiaofeng decided to call them all out so they could get to know each other better.

"Why hasn't Eri arrived yet, Xiaofeng? Did you tell her the exact time and place?" Ikeba Shizuka asked.

“I’ve already informed her, but she said she’ll come over after she finishes getting her hair done, and she wants us to wait a little longer,” Lin Xiaofeng said.

Yukiko remarked, "This woman is really vain; she wants to beat us. It's a real shame; she has no chance at all."

Jinghua sighed at the unpredictability of life: "I never imagined that the three of us would reunite in this way."

Lin Xiaofeng took the two girls' hands and said, "It's okay, let's look around first, no rush."

The three of them strolled along the pedestrian street, but it was too crowded, so they left and came to a quieter alleyway.

Suddenly, a loud 'crack' of metal clashing came from nearby, followed by the sound of something heavy falling, and then a series of 'crackling' sounds.

"What was that sound just now?" Yukiko asked in surprise.

"It sounds like a car crash..." Jinghua looked at Lin Xiaofeng.

"Let's go take a look."

Lin Xiaofeng was the first to reach the guardrail, turned on his phone's flashlight, and shone it down into the dimly lit road below. His face turned 137 and looked terrible.

"Something's wrong?"

Yukiko and Shizuka, who followed, also became nervous.

Lin Xiaofeng shone the beam of light on the pile of garbage below the highway guardrail. "Look, it's on top of the garbage pile!"

A blond man lay on the garbage heap, his gray-green short-sleeved T-shirt disheveled, revealing his waist and abdomen. His hands, feet, and body were twisted unnaturally, and a large patch of blood stained one side of his neck.

"Isn't this a person?" Yukiko exclaimed in surprise.

Jinghua stood by the railing, looked around, and then turned her head with a serious expression, saying, "Anyway, I'll call an ambulance first, and then call the police!"

The pile of garbage wasn't very high. Lin Xiaofeng walked over, reached out and touched the man's nose. Feeling that the man was cold and lifeless, he sighed.

"The man is dead."

Yukiko looked at the man's face and suddenly remembered something.

"I've seen him on TV. He's a famous fighter. His engagement was recently reported on TV. I think his name is..."

“Nagasaku Shirou! The challenger for this fighting championship, the 90kg fighter, I heard he’s most famous for never letting his opponent approach from behind,” Jinghua said, putting her phone back in her bag after finishing the call, frowning as she looked at the man who was now a corpse. “Judging from his appearance, his carotid artery was severed…”

268. Three exceptionally beautiful women

It was completely dark, and in the dim light, three people stood. The handsome young man stood in front of the trash, with two beautiful young women standing on either side of him. One was a beautiful young woman with long, wavy brown hair, wearing a Western-style dress, stockings, and high heels; the other was a beautiful young woman with black hair in a kimono, garter belt, and wooden clogs.

“It wouldn’t be easy to slit the neck of such a fighter,” Yukiko looked up at the highway above. “And then the murderer dumped the body here? The thud we heard just now must have been the sound of the body falling here, but there were no other people or vehicles on the road besides us!”

"Then... how was his body dumped here?" Yukiko felt a chill run down her spine and wanted to hug Lin Xiaofeng, but found Jinghua bending down and looking at the corpse with a serious expression. "Aren't you scared, Jinghua?"

"It's just a corpse, what's there to be afraid of?" Jinghua bent down and stared at the corpse's neck. She seemed to see a tiny golden glimmer on the wound, but the light was too dim to see clearly.

A beam of light shone on the corpse's neck.

Jinghua paused, turned to look at Lin Xiaofeng, who was shining a light with his phone flashlight and staring at the corpse's neck, then looked back at the corpse and pointed to the gun muzzle on its neck, saying, "That's some fine hair, isn't it? It looks like the deceased's hair, but it's very fine."

Jinghua leaned closer to examine it and said, "That's right, there's hair in and around the wound, a lot of it, and it's quite fine. Also, there's a strange dividing line in the bloodstains on the neck..."

Yukiko leaned closer curiously, pondering, "I guess he was getting his neck slashed with a sharp blade while getting a haircut. That mark must be because he was wearing an apron or towel at the time."

Jinghua continued, "In that case, it explains how the murderer approached him. The other person suddenly attacked and slit his neck while he was getting a haircut and completely unprepared."

“The murderer is very likely the barber who cut his hair!” Yukiko analyzed, stroking her chin.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Jinghua and Yukiko on his left and right: "Why are you two also interested in mystery?"

Yukiko: "It's not that I'm interested. I'm the wife of Detective Hayashi now, so I have to help my husband out of trouble."

Jinghua: "I only wanted to help my husband."

Lin Xiaofeng felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing the two women's confessions. They weren't even married yet, but they already considered themselves wives; they truly loved him deeply.

Since the case occurred in Tokyo, the police arrived quickly and took over the scene investigation.

A larger crowd gathered nearby, whispering among themselves.

The police inspector in charge of the case was the same old face, Mu Mu Thirteen.

After hearing Lin Xiaofeng's account, Inspector Megure confirmed with him, "The deceased was a famous martial artist. It's suspected that he was killed when his carotid artery was severed while he was getting a haircut, and then the body was dumped here. Brother Lin, according to you, when the body was thrown down, you and your companion heard a thud, around 6:30 tonight. The murderer must have dumped the body around that time, but there were no other people or vehicles on the road besides you. How did the murderer manage to dump the body here?"

Lin Xiaofeng shrugged: "I don't know either."

"Moreover, the deceased weighed 90 kilograms," Takagi Wataru also found it strange, taking notes in a small notebook as he spoke. "It's not something an ordinary person can do by moving the body over by hand, and it's impossible for someone to carry a body for a long distance. If someone sees that, it will be troublesome."

“There were indeed no other cars at the time,” Jinghua said, standing to the side, stroking her chin in thought. “But before the thud, there was a strange ‘snap’ sound.”

“After the thud, there was a faint crackling sound nearby,” Yukiko added. “The sound seemed to continue as we got closer.”

Megure Juzo was completely bewildered. "Thump? Thud?"

"And... clattering?" Takagi Wataru asked blankly.

"To be precise, the sequence was 'thud,' 'plop,' 'crackle,' 'crackle,'" Yukiko recalled the sounds she heard at the time.

"Isn't the most important thing right now to quickly find out which barbershops are nearby?" Lin Xiaofeng reminded him quietly.

“Y-yes, that’s right, cough,” Inspector Megure coughed and turned to Chiba Kazunobu, “Chiba, go and investigate how many barbershops are nearby, and whether there are any strong barbers in the shops! Although cutting the carotid artery can be used to launch a sneak attack while getting a haircut, moving a 90-kilogram corpse is not something an ordinary person can do!”

"Yes!" Chiba Kazunobu responded, and turned around to see Eri Kisaki walking out from the crowd.

"If it's a barbershop, I know there are about three around here, but as for whether they have strong staff, I'm not sure,"

Unlike her usual professional suit and updo, Eri Kisaki wore a purple bodycon dress, a platinum necklace, and a youthful, fluffy ponytail, giving Lin Xiaofeng a refreshing new look.

She walked up to the group of people, then turned to look at the body on the pile of garbage: "Was someone murdered here?"

“Yes.” Yukiko stepped forward. “Eri, you really know how to pick your time to show up.”

Eri turned her gaze back to Yukiko, her expression softening considerably: "I just got my hair cut, and I heard a commotion outside, along with police sirens, so I knew you were here."

"Hehehe... It seems you know Xiao Feng very well." Jinghua opened her folding fan and chuckled softly, covering her face.

“Yes… Xiao Feng, you have a dog-like keen sense for cases.” Eri Kisaki returned Jinghua’s smile, a smile that was captivating. “Jinghua, it’s been a long time.”

"Yes. Long time no see."

Eri Kisaki got to know Shizuka because she used to hang out with Yukiko; their relationship was similar to that of Sonoko and Kazuha.

"So, the beauty salon you went to is also around here?" Yukiko glanced at Eri with a meaningful look.

Eri crossed her arms and said casually, "That's right, the beauty salon I went to happened to be nearby, but I'm sorry, the woman who cut my hair was rather thin, not at all like the strong woman you described!"

In the crowd, a short-haired woman looked at Eri Kisaki, who was speaking, and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

Although she was a little surprised that the police quickly identified 'haircut' as the key, she was glad that lawyer Fei was the right witness with an alibi...

The woman was startled when her right hand, which was behind her back, was suddenly grabbed by another hand. She quickly turned her head to look.

“Miss, you’re a hairdresser, right?” Lin Xiaofeng sized up the woman.

"Yes, yes..." The woman regained her composure and immediately shook off Lin Xiaofeng's hand. "You jerk, how can you be so rude?"

“She’s Ms. Yosaka Minayo, who cut my hair. The beauty salon she runs is actually her own home,” Eri Kisaki walked up to Lin Xiaofeng and asked, “What are you up to now?”

"I just wanted to confirm whether Ms. Yuzaka Minayo has calluses on the second joint of her right ring finger."

Yoshiyo Hazaka broke out in a cold sweat: "You think I use scissors often, which is why I have calluses here... therefore, you've concluded that I'm a barber."

"That's right." Lin Xiaofeng smiled gently.

Faced with Lin Xiaofeng's smile, Ye Saka Minayo felt fear: "Who exactly are you?"

Inspector Megure also curiously observed the woman's right hand. He was certain there were very obvious calluses!

Megure Juzo laughed heartily: "He is none other than the universally loved, flower-adored high school detective, Lin Xiaofeng, from Kanto."

Upon hearing Mu Mu Shisan's words, Ye Ban Jie Dai Shen (De Hao Zhao) broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't feel any love for Lin Xiao Feng, only fear.

I'm so unlucky, how did I end up running into a famous detective? This is terrible.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled at Ye Saka and said, "I think we should check out the nearby beauty salons and hair salons, starting with Miss Ye Saka's beauty salon, what do you think?"

"I..." Yoshiyo Hazaka wanted to refuse, but refusing would only make her look like she was trying to hide something, and would increase the police's suspicion of her.

Seeing that Yuzaka Minayo was scared, Eri Kisaki smiled and said to her, "Don't worry, it's just a normal investigation. We need to investigate the nearby barbershops and beauty salons anyway."

At the same time, Twilight Thirteen discovered the blind spot.

"I suddenly realized that the three stunningly beautiful women beside Lin Xiaofeng were all familiar faces!"

Mumu Thirteen scratched the back of his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I remember now. You are Mrs. Mori, Mrs. Kudo, and Mrs. Hattori."

Upon hearing Mu Mu Shisan's words, the three women immediately denied them.

The three girls rolled their eyes at Mumu Thirteen and said in unison, "That's not how it is!"
