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

Koizumi Akako glared at him and chased after him again.

558. Watch out, little wind brother is stealing food!

As the last drop of rain fell from the eaves to the ground, the morning arrived once again at the gatehouse.

Xiaolan wakes up on time as instructed by her biological clock.

"I slept so well last night." She sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes.

The next second, she suddenly stopped moving. "This doesn't seem to be my room..."

Shirley, who was awakened by her murmur, opened her eyes with a grumpy mood and replied irritably, "You don't need to doubt it, this is my and Xiaofeng's room."

"It has absolutely nothing to do with you."

Xiao Lan looked around silently, then asked in confusion, "But if I rest here, where will Brother Xiao Feng rest?"

Upon hearing this, Sherry's morning grumpiness vanished instantly. She sat up abruptly from the tatami mat, startling Ran. "Shiho, what's wrong?"

Shirley shook her head, glanced at the blanket covering Xiaolan, and said, "Sister Xiaolan, if you cover Brother Xiaofeng with his blanket, he definitely won't be able to come back to rest."

"We're all asleep here, but where's your red-haired classmate? She's nowhere to be found either?"

Xiao Lan seemed to remember something, and immediately put on Lin Xiaofeng's coat and went outside.

Shirley quickly followed.

As soon as the two came out, the maid, Hojo Hatsune, came over with a basin of hot water.

Seeing Xiaolan and Shirley, she smiled slightly, "Miss Xiaolan, you woke up very early."

Xiao Lan hurriedly asked, "Miss Chu Sui, have you seen Brother Xiao Feng? He doesn't seem to have come back all night."

Shirley behind him shook her head speechlessly.

At this point, we should go directly to the red-haired woman's room and take a look.

How can you possibly get any results by asking others?

Hojo Hatsuho nodded directly and chuckled, "Mr. Lin has already gone to the restaurant for a meal and is chatting with Young Master Yoshiro right now."

"What about that red-haired woman? Where is she now?" Shirley asked, still not believing it.

Hojo Hatsuho thought for a moment and then said, "I didn't see what that Miss Akako said. She should be resting in her room right now."

Xiaolan glanced at Shirley, a shared glint in their eyes, and then they nodded in unison.

He then headed towards Koizumi Akako's room.

However, Xiaolan stopped halfway through.

Wait a minute, why would Shirley care so much about something like this?

She's too young to understand these things, right?

Sherry didn't care whether Ran followed or not, and directly pulled open Koizumi Akako's room door.

Sunlight streamed in from outside the door, and the silly witch was currently hugging the blanket and smacking her lips without any regard for her image.

Shirley closed the door again.

Danger removed.

If Brother Xiaofeng had really done something bad, her expression wouldn't be so natural at this moment.

Xiaolan came over and said, "Zhibao, why were you so agitated just now? It's not a big deal if Brother Xiaofeng goes out to rest for one night."

Shirley noticed her strange expression and had a bad feeling.

"Sister Xiaolan, be careful, Brother Xiaofeng might steal some red fruit..."

"Shiho, don't make wild guesses, okay?" Lin Xiaofeng's laughter came from behind.

He walked up to Shirley, patted her head, and chuckled, "Even if I steal Hongzi's food, I won't neglect you and Xiaolan."

The tears that Shirley had been holding back for several seconds vanished instantly under his caress, and she let out soft, comfortable hums like a cat.

"Brother Xiaofeng, I'm so sorry."

"I think I accidentally fell asleep last night and accidentally took your spot."

Xiao Lan, still wearing Lin Xiaofeng's clothes, lowered her head, looking like she was admitting her mistake, but the little gestures of glancing at him every now and then didn't seem like she knew she was wrong at all.

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head. "It's okay. Shiho can't sleep under one blanket by herself. I slept with Shiho last night."

Sherry, nestled in his arms, smiled slightly.

Little Feng still likes me the most.

Ran wanted to say something more, but at that moment, the scream of Hatsuho Hojo, who was waking up Genichiro Daimon, rang out in the backyard of the Daimon family.

Next came Hatsuho Hojo, who stumbled and ran over.

Seeing Lin Xiaofeng

Upon seeing his figure, she hurriedly pointed towards the side room and exclaimed, "Master, Master is dead!"

……

Xiao Lan and the others still needed to get dressed, so Lin Xiaofeng went ahead to the side room to tidy up the scene.

Genichiro Daimon died from a single stab wound through the chest.

The strangest thing was that the armor that Lin Xiaofeng and his companion had returned last night had disappeared, which made him wonder if the other party was not completely dead.

However, remembering how confidently the little witch had told him last night that everything was alright, he immediately changed his mind.

Someone took the armor after that!

Lin Xiaofeng's first suspect was Hojo Hatsuho.

When Lin Xiaofeng heard Daimon Yoshiro talking about how his ideals weren't recognized in the car, he had a sudden thought. This was a typical case opening in this world.

So he asked Ayami Ogino to investigate the current situation of the Daimon family.

Later, she learned that Kenichi Sagusa, who was forced to his death by Genichiro Daimon, was her father.

He absolutely did not believe that she, a college graduate from Tokyo, had no ulterior motives for coming here to work as a maid.

That's why he wrote down that advice on paper.

Daimon Ryuko was recuperating in the back garden when she heard Hojo Hatsuho's call and she was the second to arrive.

"This this……"

Seeing her husband completely lifeless, Daimon Ryuko couldn't accept reality and retreated repeatedly, muttering as if in a daze:

"It must be General Xiuyou's spirit appearing."

“Last night I saw Mingming’s ghost; I should be the one who died…”

"I was spared from disaster because of the protection of the gods, but I never expected that the curse would befall him instead."

Seeing that Lin Xiaofeng did not react, she reminded him again: "Look, the socks I offered last night are gone. General Xiuyou must have worn those socks to commit the crime!"

Lin Xiaofeng still didn't reply. He opened the window, and the cool breeze after the rain gently touched his face, just like the scent of early morning.

However, the artistic conception was completely destroyed by the footprints on the muddy road.

Lin Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered:

"This isn't some curse from a vengeful spirit; it's obvious someone is using this legend to eliminate their own obstacles..."

"dad……"

Damen Lianglang, who had just parted ways with Lin Xiaofeng at the restaurant, quickly arrived. Upon seeing the blood-stained corpse on the ground, his face instantly turned pale.

He had been worried about how to explain his trip abroad to Daimon Genichiro, but now he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

"How could this happen? Who did this...?" Yoshiaki Daimon's clenched fist trembled incessantly.

"Mr. Lianglang, did you stay in your room all night?" Lin Xiaofeng suddenly turned around and asked, his expression completely different from yesterday.

Yoshiaki Daimon was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that this was a normal police questioning procedure.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Last night, after I parted ways with everyone, I talked to my brother about some of my thoughts, but he didn't take them to heart at all. Instead, he scolded me."

"I figured there was no point in continuing, so I went back to my room and didn't come out again after that."

"Hmm..." Lin Xiaofeng nodded expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Yoshiaki Daimon became agitated and pressed, "Mr. Lin, are you doubting me? Although I have some conflicts with my family, it wouldn't be enough to kill my father."

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head. "I didn't say that. Judging from the blood sample, President Daimon should have been assassinated last night."

"You're not the only one listed as a criminal suspect right now."

While the two were talking, the members of the Da Men family and Xiao Lan's group were already standing at the door of the side room.

But one very important person is missing.

Lin Xiaofeng frowned slightly, looked at Daimon Kayoko, and asked, "Where is Mr. Daimon Kazuki? Something so important happened, surely he can't get out of bed?"

Kayoko Daimon shook her head absently. "His room was locked from the inside, so I couldn't get in. But I guess he must have drunk too much last night."

Lin Xiaofeng frowned slightly.

Aren't these two a married couple?

Not only are they separated, but they don't even have a key to each other's rooms.

Hojo Hatsuho, who had some understanding of reasoning, immediately helped explain: "Young Master Ichiki and his wife often..."

The reason for the argument was that everyone had their own separate room at home.

"Neither of them had the habit of keeping a key to the other's room."

“That’s right…” Kayoko Daimon nodded quickly.

Thinking of the burly eldest son of the powerful family, Lin Xiaofeng gradually had some bad thoughts.

He led everyone to the window, pointed to the footprints, and asked, "Excuse me, where does this road lead?"

The Daimon family members fell silent for a moment, and it was Daimon Yoshiaki who finally spoke, his face extremely grim.

"It's the vestibule..."

The back garden was a place for guests and Hatsuho Hojo to rest, while the front garden was the area where the Daimon family members would gather and rest, and Daimon Kazuki lived in that location.

Koizumi Akako frowned slightly and said, "This footprint doesn't look like a human footprint..."

"It does resemble it somewhat—"

"Leg armor!" Due to the disruption to her connection, Daimon Ryuko's aged face was contorted in a horrifying way. She muttered in a frenzied rage, "It must be General Okinawa Hideyuki's spirit appearing! It must be..."

She then brought up her own version of the story about the vengeful spirit of Chonghua Xiuyou killing people.

Lin Xiaofeng ignored her and led everyone straight to the front courtyard.

Following the footprints, the group quickly arrived at the front courtyard.

The footprints did not stop outside the courtyard, but continued all the way into the house in the front yard.

Opening the door from the courtyard to the indoor corridor, the previously dim corridor was instantly filled with sunlight.

Footprints were faintly visible in the corridor, leading straight upstairs.

Xiaolan, holding Shirley's hand, hesitated and said, "The armored warriors have actually come to this place, could it be..."

Sherry silently shook her head: The eldest son of that powerful family is probably in grave danger.

At this moment, Kayoko Daimon, who had been absent-minded and lagging behind the others, hurriedly pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.

Upon seeing the footprints on the ground, she covered her mouth in horror, exclaiming, "This is the path to my husband's room!"

Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand, "Let's go up and take a look first."

The bedroom of the gatekeeper was located on the second floor, and the footprints kept stopping outside a room on the second floor.

It was the room with a tree by the main gate.

Lin Xiaofeng tried to open the door, but it was like a giant...

As Kayoko Kadoko said, the door was locked from the inside, and there was no way to open it from the outside.

He kicked it directly.

A large hole was punched in the area where the door lock was located, and the door was pushed open by the remaining force.
