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

The two were met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks, which made them feel both unhappy and somewhat embarrassed.

Could it be that this letter has made me the suspect?

As soon as the two Yabuchi family members left, Yabuchi Yoshifusa looked at the black man behind him and said in Portuguese, "Carlos, what's going on with those two? Did something just happen?"

The Black man pondered in silence for a moment, then shook his head expressionlessly.

Lin Xiaofeng, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "I think those two are probably afraid of the bodyguard behind you, Mr. Yifang."

Yabunouchi Yoshifusa's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "You speak Portuguese?"

Lin Xiaofeng said modestly, "I can only understand some of what you say; I wouldn't say I can speak it."

"Besides, I have no interest in the Yabuuchi family's property. Compared to them, I don't care who gets it."

"No matter how it's divided, it won't end up in my hands."

Hearing this, Yabunouchi Yoshifusa's hostility slowly dissipated. Indeed, these two outsiders were the safest compared to the Yabunouchi family members.

"Sorry, I got a little carried away just now."

Next, having indeed seen several of Yukiko's movies, he began to chat with the two of them back and forth.

Lin Xiaofeng didn't try to probe his identity, but instead struck up a conversation by mentioning Yukiko's movie, which made the imposter feel quite at ease.

The atmosphere now is like a completely different world compared to when the Yabuchi family was around.

"Yukiko, are you all done showering?"

"How's the water temperature now? Is it a bit cold?"

Hiromi Yabuuchi was somewhat surprised to see her uncle, who usually didn't talk to anyone, chatting so animatedly with Yukiko.

She wiped her hands and sat down next to Yukiko.

Yukiko nodded and said, "The water temperature is just right. With someone as professional as Hiromi keeping the water warm, of course it won't get cold."

Hiromi Yabuuchi chuckled and shook her head. "You just love to joke around."

As she spoke, she stood up and said, "To keep Auntie's water from getting too cold, I'll go and add some more firewood."

"Fortunately, my family has already discussed renovating the old house. Otherwise, if I had to keep working until my father's age, I might really want to run away."

Hiromi Yabuchi's voice had barely faded from the doorway when her scream rang out from the middle of the way.

"What happened?"

Lin Xiaoling and You Mengxizi quickly ran out of the umbrella, and Ershou; Neiyifang and Ziqiji's Shibaoba Biao exchanged a glance and also walked out together.

Courtyard.

Standing at the doorway, Hiromi Yabuchi covered her mouth, her voice trembling as she spoke, "Someone...someone used that well..."

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at the bucket that had reached the top of the rope, narrowed his eyes, and said:

“That’s right. The bucket wasn’t here before we came, but now it’s hanging above the water-drawing rope.”

"Sister, what happened?"

Hearing Hiromi's scream, Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi, whose room was not far away, ran over with his blond hair still wet.

Hiromi Yabuuchi pointed to the bucket, her face as if she had seen a horrifying scene. "My mother died just like this..."

Upon seeing this scene, Yabunouchi Yoshiyuki immediately flew into a rage, "Damn it!"

"How dare someone play tricks here! And even make fun of my mother! Absolutely unforgivable!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the well, saying, "You think you can scare me so easily..."

As Yukiko looked at the moonlight spilling onto the camellia trees near the well, she suddenly remembered the story told by Hiromi Yabuuchi, and a sense of unease arose in her heart.

She quietly wrapped her arms around Lin Xiaofeng's arms and frowned, saying, "Xiaofeng, is something going to happen next?"

仟仟尛哾

"Love, isn't it?"

Lin Xiaofeng smelled the faint scent of blood in the air and had a bad feeling about it.

On the other side, Yabunouchi Yoshiyuki, who was leaning out to check the well, finally saw what was inside, guided by the moonlight.

The next second, his eyes widened instantly.

"what!!!"

"Yes, Machiko's Second Aunt!"

……

With Lin Xiaofeng's help, the rope was slowly pulled up from the well.

Machiko Yabuuchi, who had just called to say she would be home late, was now tied to a rope with a look of terror on her face.

As for whether she is alive or dead, no one wants to verify it anymore.

Lin Xiaofeng opened her tightly clenched fist, and a bright and beautiful pink camellia appeared in everyone's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Yabunouchi Yoshiyuki collapsed to the ground, muttering, "It's Mother, it must be Mother who found out what Machiko's stepmother did and came to punish her..."

In comparison, Hiromi Yabuuchi's performance was much better, but still only slightly better.

From the very beginning, she had been covering her mouth in astonishment, unable to speak.

Keiko Yabuchi and her son-in-law Hidekazu Yabuchi, who were in the kitchen, rushed over when they heard the noise outside.

Seeing Yabuuchi Machiko's death, their expressions of surprise were no less than those of Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki...

Lin Xiaofeng pointed to the knife wound on her clothes and said calmly, "This isn't some ghost killing her; she was killed by a sharp blade."

Yabunouchi Yoshifusa sighed, "I knew that staying in this family would lead to trouble sooner or later, and I was right."

Yukiko had also come to her senses by this time. She scanned everyone's expressions, then, resting her chin on her hand, analyzed the situation:

"Around 9 o'clock just now, Guangmei's second aunt called to inform me about keeping the temperature warm. Considering the time it would take to get back, I should be here by at least 10 o'clock."

"Aside from me, Xiaofeng, and Uncle Yifang, who had already returned to the living room before 10 o'clock, there were only two people left outside..."

Seeing everyone staring at him, Yabuchi Hidekazu's expression suddenly changed, and he stammered, "I...I...how could I possibly be the murderer of Machiko? I..."

At this moment, Yabunouchi Keiko suddenly spoke up: "Wait, I think this matter is too suspicious no matter how you look at it. Could it be that Machiko's stepmother committed suicide and then jumped into the well?"

"

If someone is disappointed in this family, then such an action is not entirely incomprehensible.

"The camellia she was holding was evidence that she had committed suicide!"

Lin Xiaofeng gave her a deep look and said, "The time of death of the deceased cannot be determined yet, so we cannot rule out the suspicion of the others."

"I, and perhaps everyone here, are still suspects."

"..."

……

Police officers on duty in Gunma Prefecture quickly responded to the report and arrived at the scene.

This time, the officer in charge is a sharp-mouthed policeman who looks just like Suneo, named Yamamura Misao.

In the darkness, he didn't immediately notice the two guests at the Yabuchi residence; he began his investigation as soon as he entered.

"Who was the first person to notice something was wrong?"

Yabuuchi Hiroki slowly raised his hand and said, "It's me, I'm the first person to discover the private well and I'm different from the others."

"Oh?" Yamamura Misao's eyes lit up. "So, you were the first to discover the case, but how did you notice the difference in the well?"

“I don’t think anyone would pay attention to something like this all the time, would they?” Hiromi Yabuchi said with her eyes lowered. “Actually, it’s because my biological mother also died in this well. I always have a strange feeling about this well, and I look at it from time to time.”

"Because someone died here, no one ever uses this place. It's just that my dad never allowed us to demolish it, so it has been preserved all this time."

"When I went out tonight, I found that the water bucket had risen to the top, so I called everyone over to take a look."

Yamamura Misao smacked his lips, frowned, and analyzed, "In that case, it's because the murderer didn't know about your habit that the matter was exposed so quickly."

"However, Officer Lin once said that the first person to discover a case is often the most suspicious."

"So you can't completely clear yourself of suspicion yet."

Hiromi Yabuuchi glanced at Lin Xiaofeng, the person in question.

"This……"

Yukiko couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward from the side.

"What kind of policeman are you?!"

"No one just grabs a random sentence and treats it as the truth. You should also learn from his other sayings!"

545. Possessed by an evil spirit.

"you are?"

He slowly turned his head to look at the mountain village exercise he was taking notes in his small notebook.

Hiromi Yabuchi quickly explained for Yukiko, "She is my childhood friend who came to visit my home, but she has nothing to do with this incident."

“The deceased was my stepmother, and Yukiko had very few opportunities to meet with my stepmother, so there could be no reason for her to be killed.”

"I hope you won't involve her, officer."

"etc……".

"Yukiko!"

Yamamura Misao's notebook suddenly fell to the ground, and he said blankly, "You wouldn't happen to be Ms. Fujimine Yukiko, the famous actress who suddenly retired from the entertainment industry during her heyday, would you!"

In fact, after Yukiko became a director, she didn't have many opportunities to appear in the public eye.

Those who can recognize her at a glance are almost all her die-hard fans.

Yukiko felt a little embarrassed when she realized that she seemed to have insulted her own fans, and she chuckled awkwardly, "I am Yukiko, that's for sure."

Upon hearing her affirmative reply, Yamamura Misao's eyes lit up instantly.

"So it really was you!"

"I decided to become a policeman after watching your movie."

"It's that TV series 'Legend of the Police Force,' where you played a policewoman who was so dashing and heroic!"

"I still remember your lines in it..."

Yukiko's lips twitched, and the guilt in her heart vanished instantly. She turned her head and said, "I never acted in that movie. I think you must have mistaken me for someone else."

"Forehead……"

Yamamura Misao scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "Hahaha, then I must have remembered it wrong..."

After saying that, his expression instantly turned serious, and he said, "But if that's the case, Ms. Yukiko, you are the most suspicious person here, aren't you?"

"Being able to calmly use a sharp blade to kill someone with a single blow is not a skill that ordinary people should possess."

"I think you're the only one out here who can do this."

Yukiko was taken aback, then looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot and said:

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Can't you at least find out what's going on before you speak?"

"Mrs. Machiko won't be home until at least 10 o'clock, by which time I'll already be back in the living room."

“If you don’t believe my testimony, either Mr. Yabuuchi Yoshifusa, who came in at almost the same time, or the detective can testify for me.”

"detective?"

Yamamura asked blankly, "Is there a detective among us?" Then he nodded to himself and said, "If that's the case, then I have someone I can trust."

Yamamura Misao shook his head, then locked onto Lin Xiaofeng, and said in an admiring voice, "High school detective Lin Xiaofeng, I've heard so much about you! Detective Lin, is what Yukiko said true?"

Lin Xiao looked at Shan Cuncao, who looked like a silly deer. This guy not only looked mentally challenged, but he really was mentally challenged.

"Ahem, I can help Yukiko prove that she could not possibly be the murderer in this case."

"Even ignoring the time of death, which is still uncertain, Yukiko was always by my side, so it was impossible for her to have had time to commit the crime."

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

Yukiko returned to Lin Xiaofeng's side and couldn't help but complain, "It seems the quality of police officers these days really needs improvement. Anyone can become a police officer. I think I should apply for one someday; maybe I can do it too..."
