Given this situation, the pressure Inspector Megure was under was unimaginable, not to mention that his superiors were also facing immense pressure.
Officer Takagi added, "We don't have much information at the moment. We only know that there were eight members in the gang, and five of them are now dead. We don't know the gender or age of the remaining three."
"I know nothing about it..." Lin Xiaofeng looked at Inspector Megure with some sympathy.
With the remaining three people having absolutely no information, Inspector Megure had most likely already been bombarded by his superiors and the media.
After all, no one can guarantee that murders will not continue to occur.
Noticing Lin Xiaofeng's gaze, Inspector Megure was embarrassed: "Yes, we know nothing about them right now."
Officer Takagi felt that Inspector Megure was too embarrassing, and stubbornly said, "At least we know that he is a member of the [Genji Hotaru] thief gang. The members of this gang are masters of swordsmanship and archery."
Suddenly, Ikenami Shizuka's voice rang out: "Since the [Genji Hotaru] thief gang likes to steal Buddhist statues, let's go to San'nō-ji Temple in Kyoto."
"Sannoji Temple?"
Everyone, including Lin Xiaofeng, turned their heads in surprise.
"Madam, why do you think it's Sannoji?" Officer Takagi asked, puzzled.
Lin Xiaofeng was also surprised. Knowing the plot well, he wasn't surprised by "Saneng Temple," because he knew the main clue was indeed there. What surprised him was how Ikebami Shizuka knew this.
278. Bayonetta: Ugh, you're tickling me!
"Sister Jinghua, how do you even know this?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.
Ikeba Shizuka held up one finger: "First, this temple is very famous in Kyoto because their Buddha statues are very precious, but they were stolen eight years ago."
"What? It was stolen eight years ago?" Inspector Megure was extremely surprised and immediately thought of the Genji Hotaru thief gang.
Ikenami Shizuka continued, "As for the second point, it's because my son Hattori Heiji received a letter of request from the monks of Sanno-ji Temple. They wanted to invite my son Hattori Heiji to come and help investigate the strange things happening at the temple. My son Hattori Heiji reported this to me."
"Your son?" Vermouth asked with a strange look.
“Yes, my son, Hattori Heiji, is a high school detective who often receives various requests,” Ikenami Shizuka explained.
"I see." Vermouth suddenly realized that Yukiko was the mother of high school detective Shinichi Kudo, Shizuka Ikenami was the mother of high school detective Heiji Hattori, and Eri Kisaki was the mother of Shinichi Kudo's childhood friend Ran Mouri. With that, all the clues connected.
"Xiao Feng, you're really something!" Vermouth looked at Lin Xiao Feng with newfound respect, seeing him as a veritable mother hunter.
"Haha...of course." Lin Xiaofeng chuckled.
After hearing this, Officer Takagi's face lit up with joy: "So, the Buddha statue in that temple was very likely stolen by Genji Hotaru, which is why... Madam suggested going to Yamano-ji Temple to investigate?"
Inspector Megure immediately looked at Lin Xiaofeng eagerly: "Brother Lin, could you please make a trip to Kyoto?"
"Inspector Megure, you really know how to make things difficult for people."
"I know Brother Lin will not refuse."
"Alright alright……"
Lin Xiaofeng agreed; they were all tasks assigned by the system.
After Lin Xiaofeng agreed, Inspector Megure and Officer Takagi left satisfied.
"Inspector Megure, don't you think Lin Xiaofeng has gone too far? With so many women around, he's still eyeing Sato Miwako from our First Investigation Division?"
Officer Takagi said indignantly to Inspector Megure.
"This shows that Miwako Sato has good taste. The men she likes have all been tested and approved by many women."
Inspector Megure rolled his eyes at Officer Takagi. Officer Takagi was such an idiot. If he were half as strong as Lin Xiaofeng, he wouldn't be short of women.
……
"It seems like Inspector Megure is under a lot of pressure this time?" Yukiko glanced at the closed door.
"This is definitely true. Eighty-one separate deaths involving five suspects, and the ghosts are all members of a notorious thief gang. It would be strange if the Police Department wasn't under pressure," said Eri Kisaki as if it were a matter of course.
"It seems we'll have to make a trip to Kyoto. Well, let's all go and explore Kyoto together."
Lin Xiaofeng looked at the four girls: "Want to come along?"
The four women nodded without hesitation.
So, Lin Xiaofeng took the four women to the airport and flew directly from Tokyo to Kyoto.
After arriving in Kyoto smoothly, Lin Xiaofeng took the four women to the hotel to drop off their luggage. Due to the tight schedule, they were unable to book a large suite and had to book three rooms instead.
Lin Xiaofeng had a room by himself, then Jinghua and Yingli had a room together, and Yukiko and Vermouth had a room together.
Lin Xiaofeng put down his luggage and thought about his next plan. He wasn't in a hurry to go to Shanneng Temple. He knew the plot in advance, so there was actually nothing he needed to investigate.
Just then, Vermouth walked in.
"Huh? Sister Belmod, I didn't expect you to be so proactive." Lin Xiaofeng came up and kissed Belmod on the lips.
"I didn't come here on my own initiative. It was the other three older sisters who insisted that I come."
"No matter what, you're throwing yourself at me, am I wrong?"
Vermouth's beautiful face showed no anger or dissatisfaction. She even opened her arms to Lin Xiaofeng and said, "Hug me." She didn't deny it; she did indeed throw herself into his arms. Fortunately, Lin Xiaofeng didn't disappoint her, otherwise, she would have been so angry that she would have killed him.
Seeing that Vermouth had opened her arms, Lin Xiaofeng bent down and picked her up in a princess carry.
Holding the warm, soft body in his arms, Lin Xiaofeng entered the room and kicked the door shut with his heel.
"I really like you. I like strong men. You were able to defeat all four of us by yourself, which really impressed me. I couldn't find a better man."
The beauty in his arms spoke softly, as if expressing a very pleased opinion.
Lin Xiaofeng looked down and saw her pursing her luscious red lips, her slender and straight legs tightly pressed together. She didn't struggle or sway wildly. Because of the movement, her skirt revealed a small part of her rounded thighs.
“Sister Bei, you are indeed a smart woman, your judgment is correct.” Vermouth’s arms were tightly wrapped around Lin Xiaofeng’s neck, her waist so light that she seemed weightless, and she let him carry her inside. “Sister Bei, do you know? You look so soft and charming now, I also want to call you Sister Bei.”
"No way! It's already a favor that you call me 'sister,' you want to call me 'little sister'? You should call me 'Mom,' not just me, but all of us sisters are more than capable of being your mothers."
"I'd rather you be my wives than my mothers." Lin Xiaofeng doesn't need many mothers; he needs many wives.
Lin Xiaofeng sat on the bed, quietly admiring Vermouth's exquisite body; she was truly a masterpiece sculpted by nature's divine hand. If he could mold people, he could never create such a beautiful woman.
"You've been staring at me without saying a word. Am I really that good-looking?"
"nice."
"What do you like about your older sister?"
"I like everything, but I think your feet are very attractive."
My feet.
After receiving this reply, Vermouth's expression turned strange.
Lin Xiaofeng subconsciously took off Vermouth's high heels and began to play with Vermouth's bare feet.
Vermouth's feet were snow-white, like finely polished porcelain, soft and delicate, with an excellent appearance and an even better feel.
Her ankles were always slender, but not to the point of being bony; instead, they had a touch of plumpness. Such ankles could perfectly outline a beautiful curve. Further down, there were her soft, boneless toes, each one evenly white and decorated with pink nail polish. When these toes were arranged in front of her, they resembled delicate flower petals blooming in spring.
"I'm just asking you, why did you resort to violence?"
"It's cute and fun, don't you love it?"
"Ugh, you're tickling me."
Bellingmore lowered her head shyly. It was the first time she had tasted love! The sweetness of love far exceeded her imagination.
279. Shinichi Kudo not only gave gifts to his biological mother but also to his godmother.
"Then I'm not playing anymore." Lin Xiaofeng put down Vermouth's feet.
"Don't mind, I can tolerate it. You can play if you want." Vermouth stepped back and then placed her beautiful feet into Lin Xiaofeng's arms.
Faced with a pair of alluring feet, Lin Xiaofeng naturally didn't hold back. He not only played with them, but also tasted them.
The refreshing vanilla flavor is invigorating.
"Who gave you permission to lick it? Your feet are covered in your saliva."
Vermouth pulled her foot back, her pretty face flushed.
"Of course it's you, Bei. You changed your mind too quickly."
Lin Xiaofeng had witnessed firsthand the capriciousness of women.
"Hmph. I didn't give permission."
Vermouth rolled her eyes at Lin Xiaofeng.
Lin Xiaofeng sighed softly; trying to reason with a woman was like casting pearls before swine.
Lin Xiao/Feng Yi contacted Heiji, the doctor in charge of the ball. Heiji was already at the Noriyama Sake Bar, and not only was he there, but Conan was also there.
Lin Xiaofeng led the four women to Shanneng Temple.
After arriving at Shanneng Temple, Bei Meimei's three older sisters handed her over to Lin Xiaofeng.
"I'm leaving Bei to you, Xiao Feng."
"The three of us sisters are going to explore Kyoto."
Vermouth was angry and said to the three women, "Why did you all leave me behind?"
The three girls replied, "Sister Bei doesn't want to?"
"It's not that you're unwilling?"
Having just tasted the sweetness of love, Vermouth naturally wanted to spend more time with Lin Xiaofeng.
"Have fun, you guys. Betty and I are going to Shaneng Temple." Lin Xiaofeng waved to the three women and then led Betty into Shaneng Temple.
Vermouth pressed herself against Lin Xiaofeng. The familiar and intoxicating scent, the blushing and beautiful face that he could see as soon as he opened his eyes, and those shy and gentle eyes undoubtedly became the best haven for him at this moment.
Lin Xiaofeng and Vermouth entered the Shanneng Temple and explained their purpose. Immediately, a monk who called himself Longyuan came to greet them.
Along with the monk Ryuen, there were also Conan and Hattori Heiji.
Upon seeing Vermouth, Conan blurted out, "Godmother, you're really still alive!"
"Godmother?" Vermouth looked at the bespectacled little boy in front of her, puzzled.
"Oh no!" Conan quickly covered his mouth.
"Conan, is this silver-haired woman your godmother?" Hattori Heiji asked Conan in surprise.
"No, I just mistook it for something else," Conan quickly explained.
Vermouth stared intently at Conan, scrutinizing him closely. Then, she heard Lin Xiaofeng whisper in her ear.
"This brat is Shinichi Kudo, your godson."
"profound……"
Vermouth suddenly realized that the kid in front of her was indeed exactly the same as Shinichi Kudo when he was a child. Although he was wearing glasses to cover it up, she could still recognize him.
"Shinichi, how are you? Aren't you happy to see that your godmother is still alive?"
"Um... I'm not Shinichi, I'm Conan. Um... I'm Conan Edogawa. Sorry, I've mistaken you for someone else."
Conan bowed to Vermouth, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Oh, oh, you're Conan. It doesn't matter, even if you're Conan, I'm still your godmother."
Hattori Heiji, standing nearby, looked completely bewildered and couldn't help but ask Lin Xiaofeng a question.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Hattori-kun, let me explain. This woman is called Vermouth, and she's Shinichi Kudo's godmother."
"That's too much..." Heiji Hattori was so shocked that his baseball cap jumped up. "Shinichi Kudo not only entrusted his biological mother to you, but also his godmother. Shinichi Kudo, that's really too much."
Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth. Kudo Shinichi really knew how to make things difficult. He actually entrusted his best friend with taking care of both his biological mother and godmother. What kind of nonsense was this?
"It's okay. After all, I'm Shinichi Kudo's best brother."
"Hey bro, that's not how you use it!"
Conan was speechless. He would never do such a thing. He wasn't that stupid. Giving it to Lin Xiaofeng was worse than using it himself. Unfortunately, he had no chance and could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
"Brother Xiaofeng, let's hurry over there, don't keep everyone waiting."
Conan tried to fool Vermouth by acting like a child and being cute. Unfortunately for him, Lin Xiaofeng had already betrayed him.
The group followed the monk Ryūen into the temple's reception room. They were introduced to the temple's abbot, Enkai, and three other patrons: Sakura Seizo, the owner of an antique shop; Mizuo Harutaro, the young master of the Mizuo-ryū Noh theater school; and Saijo Taiga, the owner of a bookstore.
"The famous detectives from Kansai and Kanto have both arrived. You guys are really quite young," the antique shop owner couldn't help but remark.
