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

Inspector Megure, puzzled, asked, "Brother Lin, what do you want with Mr. Matsumoto?"

Lin Xiaofeng said awkwardly, "Matsumoto-sensei was my junior high school teacher. She's married now, and I just wanted to offer my blessings privately."

"Really?" Inspector Megure asked doubtfully.

"What? Inspector Megure also suspects that I am the real murderer?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

Inspector Megure immediately denied it. He still needed Lin Xiaofeng to solve cases in the future, so he dared not offend him.

39. Matsumoto Sayuri's Inner Self-Control Strategy

Matsumoto Kiyonaga approached Lin Xiaofeng, his gaze heavy: "Lin Xiaofeng, I've read your report, and I absolutely believe you're not the murderer. I would be very grateful if you were willing to do your part in this case."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga also knew the level of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division; it relied heavily on detectives. If Lin Xiaofeng, suspected of being the murderer, refused to solve the case, then everything would be over. After all, his daughter, Matsumoto Sayuri, was also a suspect.

What could Lin Xiaofeng say? He could only agree. As long as they could find evidence of Takasugi Toshihiko's poisoning, everything would be resolved.

Lin Xiaofeng recalled the plot of the cartoon. He remembered that there were cameras in the lounge, which meant that what happened in the lounge was actually monitored.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the detectives staring at him expectantly, unsure what to say. "Don't any of you know how to check the surveillance footage?"

Left with no other option, Lin Xiaofeng went to check the surveillance footage.

Lin Xiaofeng contacted the organizers of the banquet venue and asked them for the surveillance video of the incident. Banquet venues like this usually have surveillance cameras.

When Lin Xiaofeng showed them the surveillance video, everyone suddenly realized that the banquet venue was indeed under surveillance!

The truth is obvious: Takasugi Toshihiko took two cans of lemon tea, opened them, plugged them in, and poisoned one of the cans.

Then, Toshihiko Takasugi took it and prepared to give the poisoned lemon tea to Sayuri Matsumoto.

During this time, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly appeared. He picked up the cup of poisoned lemon tea, then put it back, but rearranged its position.

After watching the surveillance video, everyone suddenly realized that Takasugi Toshihiko's poisoning was entirely his own fault.

Takasugi Toshihiko originally intended to poison his fiancée, but Lin Xiaofeng suddenly appeared and switched the lemon tea bottles, causing Takasugi Toshihiko to mistakenly take the poisoned one...

"Huh... Why did you suddenly appear, Brother Lin, and adjust the position of the lemon tea?" Inspector Megure was very puzzled.

“I originally went to talk to Ms. Sayuri Matsumoto, but she was talking to her fiancé, so I gave up. I saw the lemon tea on the table and felt thirsty, so I picked it up to drink. Suddenly I realized that the two cups of lemon tea were prepared for Ms. Sayuri Matsumoto and her fiancé, so I gave up.”

"So that's it."

Inspector Megure believed it. The other detectives believed it too. Only Conan sensed something was wrong.

Conan stroked his chin, starting a brainstorming session and entering deduction mode.

If it were just a coincidence, Lin Xiaofeng wouldn't have deliberately changed the position of the lemon tea. There's only one explanation. The reason Lin Xiaofeng changed the position of the lemon tea is because he already knew about Gao Shanjun's plan to murder his fiancée, so he played along.

The evidence is... Lin Xiaofeng, who never wears glasses, was wearing glasses in the video.

"Brother Xiaofeng." Conan tugged at Lin Xiaofeng's trouser leg.

"What's wrong? Conan, do you have some special ideas?" Lin Xiaofeng lowered his head and looked down at Conan.

Conan asked in a low voice, "No, no... I just wanted to ask you, do the glasses you were wearing in the surveillance video have any special functions?"

Lin Xiaofeng was quite surprised. Conan truly lived up to his reputation as a famous detective; he had actually discovered it. His glasses did indeed have special functions, and Conan's glasses were no different.

"Conan, we're in the same boat..."

After the truth came out, Umemiya and Ichimi breathed a sigh of relief, while Matsumoto Sayuri covered her face and wept bitterly.

Seeing his daughter crying so sadly, Manager Matsumoto quickly stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "My dear daughter, your fiancé actually tried to murder you at the wedding. He deserved to be poisoned. You don't need to be sad for someone like that."

Manager Matsumoto then added in frustration, "What did my daughter do to offend him? Why did he murder my daughter?!"

Lin Xiaofeng was able to offer some explanation for Matsumoto's question.

Lin Xiaofeng coughed once, and then explained to everyone the origin of the incident.

"Ahem... Manager Matsumoto, it all started because of you!"

"because I?"

The Matsumoto manager was dumbfounded.

"Many years ago, Takasugi Toshihiko was still a child and had not yet been adopted by the Takasugi Group. One day, Matsumoto, the manager, you were so focused on chasing the criminal that you failed to notice Takasugi Toshihiko's biological mother under the car wheels of the criminal and ignored Takasugi Toshihiko's pleas for help that you caused the death of Takasugi Toshihiko's biological mother."

, Reimu @ Instrument (II)

Because of this incident, Toshihiko Takasugi hates you and decides to take revenge on you by making you lose the person closest to you!

So, Toshihiko Takasugi devised a plan to kill your daughter at the wedding.

To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit. Takasugi Toshihiko is truly vicious. Everyone felt the wickedness of human nature and gasped in shock, speechless.

Matsumoto Sayuri stopped crying and looked at Lin Xiaofeng in surprise, her feelings a mix of emotions.

"Why? Why does Lin Xiaofeng know about this! I'm the only one who knows about it."

"So, Lin Xiaofeng's sudden appearance at my wedding was to save me? He's been watching me the whole time, and I had no idea!"

"Yes, that must be it, Lin Xiaofeng, you knew everything all along... I was so stupid, I couldn't see the man who truly loved me, but I loved a man who hated me to the core!"

40. You were rejected before you even confessed your feelings?

After the incident, an ambulance promptly took Toshihiko Takasugi to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Matsumoto Sayuri's wedding is off, and everyone is offering her their condolences.

Matsumoto Yuri smiled wryly, accepting everyone's kindness, but in her heart, only Lin Xiaofeng was truly there.

As for Lin Xiaofeng, he was rewarded for solving the case and received a four-point comprehensive score instead of two, basking in joy.

Lin Xiaofeng's overall score reached 19 points, making him twice as strong as an ordinary person.

When Matsumoto Sayuri saw Lin Xiaofeng's seemingly knowing smile, she assumed that Lin Xiaofeng was happy that she couldn't get married.

So that's how much Lin Xiaofeng likes me. But I was his music teacher in junior high school, and I'm so much older than him. This kind of relationship is not allowed.

Thinking about this, Matsumoto Sayuri fell into worry.

Xiao Lan@and Sonoko0, still thinking that Moe is Song 8, still 9, still obsessed with Takasugi Toshihiko, Jiu 5, and I tried to persuade I.

Xiaolan: "Teacher Xiaobaihe, your fiancé has shot himself in the foot. Please don't be sad for such a bad person."

Sonoko: "Yes, yes... Ms. Sayuri, if your fiancé survives, you shouldn't marry him!"

Matsumoto Sayuri smiled slightly as she looked at her two students who cared so much about her.

"Ran, Sonoko, your teacher isn't that stupid. Your teacher won't be sad for a bad person like Takasugi Toshihiko, nor will she be so foolish as to continue marrying him."

Hearing Matsumoto Sayuri's reply, Ran and Sonoko were relieved. However, they were puzzled as to why Lin Xiaofeng knew about Matsumoto Sayuri and her fiancé's story.

Conan was also very curious about this. Such secrets couldn't possibly be known through deduction. What method did Lin Xiaofeng use?

So, Ran, Sonoko, and Conan came to Lin Xiaofeng together and asked for the answer.

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't answer that question. He could only give the three of them a mysterious smile, letting them fill in the blanks with their own imaginations.

Lin Xiaofeng's response was simply to smile without saying a word.

The three were naturally dissatisfied with Lin Xiaofeng's answer, but since Lin Xiaofeng was unwilling to say, there was nothing they could do.

……

The next day, during lunch break, Matsumoto Sayuri invited Lin Xiaofeng to the rooftop of the teaching building.

Matsumoto Sayuri works at the junior high school section of Teitan High School, so she is actually still in the same school as Lin Xiaofeng.

"Xiao Feng, I want to thank you in person. If it weren't for you, I would be the one lying in the hospital right now."

"Ms. Lily, it was just a coincidence, there's no need to thank me specially."

"I noticed it right away... Xiaofeng deliberately changed the position of the lemon tea can. However, I didn't understand Xiaofeng's purpose at the time, until Takasugi Toshihiko collapsed, I understood everything."

Matsumoto Sayuri said this very seriously.

And she was getting closer and closer to Lin Xiaofeng, almost within arm's reach.

Upon closer inspection, Sayuri Matsumoto is indeed a beauty, and a very traditional Japanese beauty at that, which reminded him of a Japanese actress, Nanako Matsushima.

"Xiao Feng, are you planning to keep this a secret forever?"

Matsumoto Sayuri's tone suddenly became aggressive.

"Uh... I don't understand..."

Lin Xiaofeng was completely bewildered. He thought the matter was over and that Matsumoto Sayuri had simply expressed her gratitude.

However, the feeling he gets from Sayuri Matsumoto now seems to be more complicated than it appears.

"Xiao Feng, you suddenly appeared at the teacher's wedding to save the teacher, right?"

"Eh?"

Lin Xiaofeng was even more confused. Did Matsumoto Sayuri know too much?

"My father, Inspector Matsumoto, ignored Takasugi Toshihiko's pleas for help during a manhunt, indirectly leading to the death of Takasugi Toshihiko's biological mother..."

“Wait a minute… This accident is not the fault of Officer Matsumoto at all. As far as I know, the person who ran over Takasugi Toshihiko’s biological mother was a criminal that Officer Matsumoto was chasing. Takasugi Toshihiko’s hatred for Officer Matsumoto is completely unreasonable.”

"That's right... how do you know such detailed things! And you even knew beforehand that Takasugi Toshihiko wanted to murder me!"

"Ah this..."

Lin Xiaofeng was embarrassed. He was a time traveler and only just found out, so he couldn't explain it.

"Xiao Feng, you've always liked your teacher, haven't you... that's why you've been paying attention to me and investigating so many things. I'm so sorry... I really knew nothing about it and have let you down."

Just as Lin Xiaofeng was wondering how to explain, Matsumoto Sayuri had already provided her own explanation.

"Is that right...is that how it is..."

Lin Xiaofeng was very embarrassed by this misunderstanding, but he couldn't deny it.

"Really sorry……"

Matsumoto Sayuri bowed deeply to Lin Xiaofeng.

"Teacher...you don't have to do this." Lin Xiaofeng was completely at a loss after Matsumoto Sayuri's actions. "Teacher, it's all in the past. You can start over."

Restarting the spirit? Lin! Xiaomengfeng wants me and Ling to 'start over'? Lin Xiaomengfeng is so bold, I never noticed before.

"I'm sorry, Xiaofeng, but I can't start over with you right now."

Matsumoto Sayuri sighed.

"No... I didn't ask you to come with me..."

Lin Xiaofeng was both amused and exasperated; what kind of development was this?

I've been rejected before I even confessed my feelings?

"Xiao Feng, you are a student now, and your focus should be on your studies. Besides, you're about to face the college entrance exam, so you can't afford to be distracted by other things. How about we start over after you graduate high school?"

Matsumoto Sayuri looked at Lin Xiaofeng with a shy expression.

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes widened, and he finally understood what Matsumoto Sayuri had misunderstood.

To be honest, Matsumoto Sayuri was just a minor character in the original story. If she weren't so stupid, Lin Xiaofeng probably wouldn't have any impression of her at all.

As it turns out, Matsumoto Sayuri's brain isn't very sharp.

41. Learning to be in love

"Xiao Feng, is it okay?"

Matsumoto Sayuri stared longingly at Lin Xiaofeng, but Lin Xiaofeng knew that Matsumoto Sayuri was indulging in wishful thinking. By the time he graduated from high school in two years, that would be a long time, so it was better to give up sooner rather than later.

"No."

Lin Xiaofeng refused directly.

"Can't wait, does it have to be now? But..."

Sayuri Matsumoto was in a dilemma. Dating a college student would violate her professional ethics, and she couldn't do such a thing.

"Teacher Lily, there's no need to be troubled. Things happen because of a combination of various causes and conditions. My appearance is just a passing guest in your life, so you don't need to take it to heart."

Lin Xiaofeng said calmly. He wasn't particularly interested in Matsumoto Sayuri; that woman was really stupid.

Matsumoto Sayuri, however, insisted: "Kaze, you and I will each take a step back. You will still be you, and I will still be me. However, now I will not only teach you music, but also some extracurricular knowledge beyond the curriculum."

Just as Lin Xiaofeng was about to refuse, Matsumoto Sayuri hugged and kissed him.
