Twelve years later, you plan your revenge. You will kill all four people who murdered Aso.

"..."

Asai Narumi remained silent, clearly indicating that Lin Xiaofeng had been right about everything.

"So, you actually killed Kameyama too?"

Asai Narumi looked up at Lin Xiaofeng with a complicated expression, then shook her head after a long while: "No, I sensed something was wrong based on the code my father left behind. I revealed my identity to him, trying to find out the truth, but he had a heart condition. After muttering the truth to himself, he suffered a sudden heart attack and died..."

"...That's it."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded and then asked, "Then what did you mean by the letter of commission you gave to the detective agency? Was it a murder threat?"

"No, no. Actually, I wanted to..."

Asai Narumi wanted to explain, but didn't know how to organize her thoughts.

Lin Xiaofeng saw right through him: "Oh, I understand. You're hesitating and struggling with whether or not to kill, your hatred and anger intertwined with your inner kindness, which is why you sent a letter of commission to the detective, hoping they would stop you before you could take action..."

Asai Narumi's pupils contracted: "Detective Hayashi, you know all my secrets. How did you know all of this...?"

To Asai Narumi, Lin Xiaofeng, who was sitting in front of her, was practically a god-like figure.

Lin Xiaofeng pretended to deduce the truth, completely unlike a time traveler who knew the plot and was aware of the whole truth.

"This kind of thing is not hard to understand. It's not the first time I've encountered someone like you. Humans are inherently contradictory creatures, prone to double standards, fickle, and greedy. When the thoughts of the devil and the angel clash, they will simultaneously take contradictory actions."

"I will turn myself in. Detective Lin, I wish I had met you sooner."

Asai Narumi was completely subservient to Lin Xiaofeng, prostrating himself before him.

"No, I have no intention of asking you to turn yourself in."

"Eh?"

Asai Narumi was stunned. So Lin Xiaofeng hadn't told her all that he wanted her to turn herself in?

"What I'm trying to say is that the Tokyo police will be arriving at Tsukikage Island tomorrow. If we're going to take action, it's better to do it before the Tokyo police arrive."

"what!"

"What? Are you planning to commit this crime right under the noses of the Tokyo police?"

"No... Detective Lin, aren't you a detective? Shouldn't you be advising me to turn myself in?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what Dr. Cheng Shi did."

Lin Xiaofeng explained in detail, offering guidance to Asai Makoto: "When a person has a grievance with nowhere to seek redress, there are two choices. One is to accept defeat and hide far away, and the other is to strike decisively."

Dr. Chengshi, you chose the second option, and I don't think there's anything wrong with your approach.

"Black Rock and Nishimoto are left. You and I will take them out together."

Upon hearing Lin Xiaofeng's words, Asai Narumi was shocked, her mouth agape: "Detective Lin, you're going to help me kill someone... this..."

Asai Narumi was so shocked he couldn't describe it! Lin Xiaofeng, as a detective, not only didn't persuade him to turn himself in, but also helped him commit the crime.

Lin Xiaofeng coughed; he still needed to maintain the detective's righteous and upright image.

"Ahem... Dr. Narumi, please don't misunderstand. Kuroiwa and Nishimoto are drug lords who have been trafficking drugs for many years and have been at large until now. They deserve to die. You and I are just acting as agents of the Japanese police, wielding the sword of justice."

Asai Narumi realized that indeed, this group of drug lords had used the geographical location of Moonshadow Island to smuggle drugs, indirectly causing the deaths of countless people. Killing these drug lords was not only not a crime, but also an act of justice.

"I got it!"

Asai Narumi prostrated herself before Lin Xiaofeng, remembering his praise of her beauty, and lamented that she wasn't a woman. If she were, she would surely repay him with her body and follow him forever.

49. A cross-dressing master, not to be trifled with.

With Asai Narumi's guidance, Lin Xiaofeng successfully found Kameyama and Nishimoto.

Nishimoto was at the Kuroiwa residence, discussing Kawashima's death with the Kuroiwa family.

Back in the day, the five of them became the organization's underlings, leading the village in drug smuggling—how triumphant they were! Now, only the two of them are still alive.

"Kuroiwa, the deaths of Kameyama and Kawashima, do you think they were curses?"

"Are you an idiot? There's no such thing as a curse in this world."

"Then why did Wu Zunling suddenly die at Guiming Mountain and Bachuan Island? (Do you think it's possible that the organization sent people to kill us?)"

"That's not necessarily true. We've contributed so much money to the organization before, and now that we've left, there's no reason for the organization to send people to kill us."

No sooner had he finished speaking than two figures suddenly appeared at the Black Rock House.

"Who are you?!"

Nishimoto and Kuroiwa were scared half to death.

When the two looked closely, they realized it was Dr. Narumi and the detective from Tokyo, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you two doing here in the middle of the night!" Hei Yan roared angrily.

"It was... terrifying." Nishimoto felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

Lin Xiaofeng said, "Dr. Cheng Shi and I are here to take your life."

"!!!"

Kuroiwa and Nishimoto were completely stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

Nishimoto: "Are you kidding me!"

Black Rock: "Just the two of you?"

Lin Xiaofeng suddenly made his move, striking like lightning. He knocked down one person with a single punch, and then knocked Xiben and Heiyan to the ground with two punches, leaving them unable to get up.

Black Rock and Nishimoto had no chance to fight back; they fell to the ground, unable to get up.

"Wait a minute, why are you trying to kill me?" Hei Yan felt confused and couldn't understand why the two of them wanted to kill him.

"Please, let me go, we can discuss the terms." With his last bit of strength, Xiben begged Lin Xiaofeng for mercy.

Dr. Narumi said, "You two, along with Kameyama and Kawashima, murdered my father, Aso. You will all die."

Lin Xiaofeng shrugged: "You're right about one thing: the organization is ruthless and will turn its back on you once it's served its purpose."

Upon hearing the news, Kuroiwa and Nishimoto realized something was terribly wrong. The victims' descendants, along with members of the organization, had all come after them. Did they have any chance of survival?

Black Rock and Nishimoto had no choice but to close their eyes and wait for death, their very thoughts of begging for mercy extinguished.

With a thought, Lin Xiaofeng put on his X-ray glasses and took out the drug APTX4869, which he then gave to the two of them.

Lin Xiaofeng used X-ray glasses to observe the changes of APTX4869 in the two people's bodies.

The internal organs of the two individuals were found to be trembling violently, with accelerated metabolism, before returning to stillness. APTX4869 disappeared from their bodies, and the two died suddenly from cardiac arrest.

Cardiac arrest does not mean dying from a heart disease; it means that the heart suddenly stops beating for unknown reasons.

Lin Xiaofeng then understood why Gin always carried a test tube filled with water and used APTX4869 to kill someone. This drug was incredibly potent; it could cause sudden cardiac arrest without leaving any trace, making it impossible to determine the cause of death.

Even if a forensic doctor were to arrive, all they could find was that both individuals died from sudden cardiac arrest. As for why their hearts stopped beating suddenly, that remained unknown.

Are they dead?

Asai Makoto looked at the two who had suddenly died and asked Lin Xiaofeng in surprise.

"Yes, they are dead."

"What organization did you just mention?"

"You don't need to know; it won't benefit you."

Then, the two heard the voice of Black Rock's daughter.

"Dad, who are you talking to so late? It's so noisy!"

Upon hearing the noise, Asai Makoto and Hayashi Kofu quickly left.

The two had just stepped out of Heiyan's house when they heard Heiyan's daughter scream.

Under the moonlight, Lin Xiaofeng accompanied Asai Narumi to the clinic.

Upon arriving at the clinic, Lin Xiaofeng was about to say goodbye and leave when Asai Narumi hugged him.

Asai Narumi choked up and said, "Thank you, Detective Hayashi, for helping me take revenge and for resolving my inner conflict."

Lin Xiaofeng was puzzled. He was indeed helping Asai Makoto get revenge, but what did he mean by resolving his inner conflict?

"Dr. Chengshi, you flatter me. May I ask, what knot in your heart did I untie?"

Asai Shigeaki wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers and said, "After graduating from university, I came to Moonshadow Island to open a clinic, and I actually wanted to take action right away. However, I always felt that killing was wrong, and I was always conflicted. Now I've figured it out. These four people not only killed my entire family, but they've also been smuggling drugs on international waters until today. The people they've killed are far more than just my family. They deserved to die, and Detective Lin and I are acting on behalf of God. There's absolutely no need for us to have any reservations!"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Asai Narumi under the moonlight, standing gracefully and charmingly, and his body involuntarily reacted.

If Asai Narumi weren't a woman in disguise, Lin Xiaofeng would have immediately demanded that Asai Narumi repay him with her body.

"Dr. Chengshi, it's good that you've come to your senses. I hope you can start over and live a good life."

"I will."

"I am leaving."

Lin Xiaofeng felt he couldn't stay any longer; otherwise, he might be tempted to take on the challenge, which would cause him a lot of trouble.

Lin Xiaofeng was about to leave when Asai Narumi grabbed his arm.

Lin Xiaofeng turned around and saw Asai Narumi's eyes were bright and clear, her gaze gentle and captivating.

“Um… Detective Lin, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, why don’t you stay and spend the night with me?”

“Dr. Chengshi, I appreciate your kindness, but to avoid any suspicion, I need to go back to the Guogong Mansion.”

Lin Xiaofeng shook off Asai Narumi and quickly fled.

A cross-dressing master, not to be trifled with.

50. Soaking in a hot spring with Xiaolan

When Lin Xiaofeng returned to the mansion, he found Bourbon, Kogoro Mouri, and Conan all getting along well. This guy is really good at making friends.

The three of them were having a good time, while Lin Xiaofeng came over to Xiaolan, who was all alone and looking bored.

Xiao Lan was pleasantly surprised to see Lin Xiaofeng suddenly appear. It was indeed boring being with this group of people who were so preoccupied with cases and completely oblivious to romance; she had to be with Lin Xiaofeng instead.

Where did you go just now?

"Go out and clear your mind."

"I thought you went out to look for clues about Kawashima's murder."

“With your father and Detective Amuro around, I feel like I don’t need to show up at all.”

"Xiao Feng, is that what you think? I thought you were like them, always focused on cases."

Even Conan, the jealous little devil, puts his beloved Ran aside when faced with a case. No matter how sweet Ran is, she's not as sweet as a case.

"The case is important, that's true, but it's definitely not everything."

"Mmm."

Xiaolan laughed heartily; she thought so too. Her father and childhood sweetheart were both detectives, always dealing with cases, but she had absolutely no interest in cases and was completely out of place with them.

"Xiao Lan, it's getting late. Where are you staying tonight?"

“My father’s idea was to stay here, and for that, he even troubled the old patrolman from the island’s police station to bring bedding.”

"The environment here isn't very good, is it? How about I take you to a hotel so you don't have to squeeze in with them?"

"Eh?"

Xiao Lan never expected that she could stay in a hotel instead of sleeping on the floor.

"How about it? I'll stay with you, don't worry about them."

"Okay, I'll go tell Dad."

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri was discussing the case with Boruto, and also with Conan. The three men were engaged in a lively discussion.

"father!"

Ran interrupted Kogoro Mouri's discussion with the other two.

"What's wrong, Xiaolan?"

"Xiaofeng said he'd take me to a hotel, is that okay?"

"oh oh."
