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

Eri glared at him, then took his hand and walked towards the door. Halfway there, she stopped and said without turning her head:

"Attorney Saku, have you really figured out who is right and who is wrong?"

"I have investigated the factory's wastewater treatment issue, and all of it is being discharged within a reasonable range, so it will not cause any harm to the villagers at all."

"Of course, there's also the possibility that my source of information is faulty, but you should go back and check..."

Upon hearing this, Saku Hoshi abruptly looked up, staring blankly at her retreating figure, and said in despair:

"How can this be……"

He desperately wished that the factory was a heinous evil force, so that all his actions might have some value.

Eri Kisaki shook her head, took the towel and dagger as evidence, and left together with Lin Xiaofeng.

Room 302 fell silent once again.

Saku Norifumi, who was leaning against the wall, slowly slid to the ground.

He looked at the bloodstains on the ground, gave another bitter smile, and remained silent.

……

Inside the room, Eri Kisaki leaned against the window, her shapely hips undulating beneath her sheer purple nightgown. She rested her hands on the windowsill, gazing quietly at the distant forest.

Aren't you afraid he'll run away?

She turned her head and looked at the tall man standing beside her.

Lin Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Weren't you worried either?"

Eri Kisaki sighed and said, "Attorney Saku is just blinded by his own involvement; he's not stupid. He knows that running away won't help."

"Then I trust your judgment," Lin Xiaofeng said succinctly.

Eri Kisaki smiled slightly, her tone gentle: "Forget it, let's rest. Tomorrow's schedule is probably ruined. Attempted murder."

This is no small case.

She turned around, moved to the door, turned off the light, and stretched in the darkness before walking to the bed.

"Wait, where am I supposed to sleep?" Lin Xiaofeng asked, knowing the answer already, as he closed the window.

Eri Kisaki said irritably to the dark figure, "Sleep on the floor!"

Lin Xiaofeng laughed heartily, ignoring her arrogant remarks, and walked towards the large bed.

……

The next day.

When the Nagano Prefectural Police opened the door, Norifumi Saku was already standing there. He had a stubble beard, bloodshot eyes, but a smile on his lips.

Under everyone's gaze, Norifumi Saku quietly stretched out his hands, letting the handcuffs connect to his wrists.

In the corridor, he suddenly exchanged a few words with the policeman beside him, then stopped, turned around, and smiled faintly at the crowd behind him who seemed to be seeing him off:

"Attorney Fei, you're right, so-called justice changes depending on one's stance..."

“From the village’s perspective, it is reasonable for the factory to compensate and close down. But from the factory’s perspective, it is also reasonable to discharge wastewater under a contract.”

He gave a bitter smile and said, "Different people can never truly empathize with each other. I was wrong..."

He shook his head without saying anything more, then looked at the other woman beside Eri Kisaki and bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry, Attorney Usui, I'm very glad that it didn't really cause irreversible consequences..."

“And you, Mr. Lin.” He shifted his gaze again, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

"You're right. As expected of a top law student from the University of Tokyo, the winner is justice. I hope we can have a drink together again next time. Losing to you isn't hard to accept at all."

After saying this, Saku Norifumi didn't give anyone a chance to reply, turned and left. His departing figure was desolate, yet filled with a sense of profound enlightenment, leaving everyone speechless...

Ritsuko Usui hugged her arms, her body trembling slightly, still reeling from the news she had received that morning.

Lin Xiaofeng patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's alright now."

Ritsuko Usui nodded slowly, about to say something.

At that moment, Eri Kisaki looked at her with hostility, and her heart tightened. She quickly swallowed her words, but then she found that the fear in her heart had disappeared without her noticing.

I can't think of anything else besides not letting Eri Kisaki discover the secret.

Suddenly, she paused, thinking to herself:

Hmm? Wait a minute, why do I seem to be even more afraid of Attorney Fei than before...?

What exactly went wrong...?

……

Yukiko's childhood friend encountered difficulties and asked her for help. She readily agreed and even brought her beloved husband, Lin Xiaofeng, along.

The distances between prefectures in Japan are not exaggerated.

Although Tokyo and Gunma are separated by Saitama Prefecture, the straight-line distance between them is only 100 kilometers.

"Yukiko, even if you want to speed, you should at least pay more attention to the road conditions here..."

On a country road, Yukiko drove her white Porsche at high speed.

Hearing Lin Xiaofeng's complaint, she chuckled and said, "What's the problem? I've walked this road at least a hundred times. Even if I closed my eyes, there's no way anything could go wrong."

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He hoped she'd be able to smile later...

Gunma Prefecture.

At the entrance of the Yabuuchi mansion.

"Honestly, Xiaofeng, you knew this all along, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"My precious car..."

Looking at the mud-covered base of her silver sports car, Yukiko felt as if her heart was bleeding uncontrollably.

Lin Xiaofeng chuckled inwardly, deliberately mimicking Yukiko's nonchalant demeanor as he said, "But Yukiko, haven't you driven this road at least a hundred times?"

"Even with my eyes closed, I shouldn't make a mistake, right?"

"Hahahahaha."

"hateful!"

"How dare you laugh at me!"

Yukiko's face instantly turned red. Enraged and embarrassed, she lunged at Lin Xiaofeng, baring her teeth and claws, "I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

As the two were playfully bickering, the gate to the mansion slowly opened.

The woman who came out saw Yukiko dressed in casual clothes, and her eyes filled with surprise and delight.

"Yukiko!"

Upon hearing her friend's voice, Yukiko quickly patted Lin Xiaofeng's hand and jumped off him, pretending not to see her friend as she began to straighten her clothes.

"Is this your son?"

"No, I am Yukiko's father."

"Don't talk nonsense." Yukiko glared at Lin Xiaofeng, then her eyes darted around, and when she looked at her old friend, she looked distressed: "This is my new husband. I brought him here to help you."

What?! A new husband?!

"Yes."

"Yukiko, you are so lucky to have married such a handsome and young husband."

"Alright, Guangmei, tell us what happened? We came here specifically to deal with your matter."

Hiromi Yabuuchi shook her head. Having grown up with Yukiko, she knew Yukiko was joking again.

"Alright, come with me. I've prepared rooms for you. You can rest here tonight."

"What exactly happened?" Yukiko pressed.

"Sigh... (Ma Li's) It's a bit complicated. You can't get any results just by casually looking at it."

After putting away their luggage, Lin Xiaofeng and Yukiko followed Hiromi Kazuuchi to the living room.

"Uncle Yoshifusa, this is Yukiko, who came to our house many times with me when we were little. You should still recognize her, right?"

In the living room, the Yabuchi family members had already gathered in an orderly fashion upon hearing of Lin Xiaofeng's visit.

The man suspected by everyone, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa, had a full head of white hair, and behind him stood a black man who was about the same height as Lin Xiaofeng, who looked like a bodyguard.

Yukiko was very well-behaved in front of her elders, bowing slightly and saying, "It's been a long time."

Yabunouchi Yoshifusa looked at Yukiko, his mouth slightly agape. "Although I don't have any specific memory of her, I always feel like I've seen you somewhere before..."

"I am Yukiko, do you remember me?"

"Yes. I remember."

After they were seated, Yukiko whispered in Hiromi Yabuuchi's ear, "Hiromi, I think this is definitely Uncle Yoshifusa. Does he still remember me?"

Hiromi Yabuuchi rolled her eyes: "Yukiko, we can't be so hasty. Let's think of another way."

539. Yukiko as a child

Due to his poor physical condition, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa exchanged a few polite words and then left the hall with his bodyguard.

Yoshiaki Kazunai recognized Lin Xiaofeng and immediately became admiring: "Isn't this high school detective Lin Xiaofeng?"

"Yes, that's me." Lin Xiaofeng nodded calmly.

"Hiromi, you did a great job! You managed to hire a high school detective." Yoshihisa Kazunai was very excited.

"This is all thanks to Yukiko." Hiromi Kazuuchi dared not take credit for it.

"Detective Lin, I'm entrusting this matter to you."

You are welcome to come and go as you please at our Yabuuchi family mansion. If you are looking for clues, the warehouse where my father's belongings are stored might be a good option.

We've already searched the area once, but we didn't find much. However, it's different if it's you."

Yukiko said, "In that case, I'll go with you, Kaze. The will will be announced tomorrow night, and it would be troublesome if the other party really isn't Hiromi's uncle."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded: "Then let's go together."

...467

The warehouse of the Yabu-i family was abandoned and set up in the last place of the Da Wu residence. Normally, no one would come here to chat.

In the deserted courtyard, the trees were bare, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves.

Yukiko felt a sense of desolation and gently shook her head, saying, "Things have really changed. When I was little, Hiromi and I used to hide here and eat together."

"It seems like no one has come here for a long time now."

"I really want to see..."

Seeing that she suddenly stopped talking, Lin Xiaofeng asked without turning his head, "Look at what?"

Yukiko seemed to see a field of red in her eyes.

"Look at Xiaofeng's rose garden. Guangmei and I used to go there to play a lot when we were little."

Lin Xiaofeng was slightly taken aback: "I wonder what kind of story the young Yukiko has."

The two arrived at the warehouse.

Yukiko's loud shouts continued to emanate from the room.

"Wow, these are the skis we used together when we were kids!"

"And this! This is a photo I took with Hiromi in Hokkaido!"

"This one too..."

Having grown up with Yukiko, Lin Xiaofeng had long since developed an ear that could automatically filter out unimportant information.

Yukiko kept flipping through the photo album in her hand, not at all like she was searching for clues, but more like she was trying to recall her childhood memories...

However, as she was flipping through the pages, a small photo tucked inside suddenly fluttered to the ground.

Upon seeing the picture, Yukiko's eyes lit up instantly, "The person in this photo is Hiromi's Uncle Yoshifusa!"

Lin Xiaofeng leaned over and took a look.
