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

Inside the room, Hideyuki Okawa's armor lay quietly on the ground, which was now stained crimson with blood.

"Husband!" Kayoko Daimon's expression changed, and she hurriedly tried to come in to check.

But Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand and said, "Xiao Lan, when you see these people, don't let them in and ruin the scene (money, okay)."

“Okay, Brother Xiaofeng.” Xiaolan nodded seriously and stood in the center of the doorway.

Overnight, her husband passed away, and her eldest son, who had been with her the longest, was also suspected of being dead. At this point, Daimon Ryuko's mental state was on the verge of collapse.

She pushed Xiaolan away, screaming maniacally:

"No! Let me in and see! I don't trust any of you!"

"It's all because you came that Genichiro and Kazuki died!"

"Lianglang, quickly drive them out! It must be their arrival that angered General Xiuyou!"

"You are sinners!"

Xiao Lan's martial arts skills have become much stronger than before under Lin Xiaofeng's tutelage, so stopping an old man and a woman is naturally not a problem.

However, being kind-hearted, she hesitated to act in order not to hurt Daimon Ryuko, and her face was almost scratched by his fingernails several times.

Seeing this, Yoshiaki Daimon quickly pulled his mother away.

If they really offend Lin Xiaofeng, it's not something the Da Men family can handle.

Not to mention the Daimon family, where such a thing happened.

inside the room.

Ignoring the noise outside, Lin Xiaofeng slowly removed the faceplate attached to his armor, revealing Daimon Ichiki's face with glasses underneath.

Kayoko, who still held a sliver of hope outside the door, collapsed to the ground in an instant, "Ichiki..."

Supported by Yoshiaki Daimon, Kayoko Daimon wept uncontrollably, "These are all General Hideyuki's curses, they must all be curses... Xing."

"The Daimon family is going to pay the price..."

“A curse…” Koizumi Akako frowned slightly.

The curse from last night did indeed affect some people.

People with murderous thoughts have their dark side brought to the surface.

Then he wielded the knife and killed someone, leading to the terrible consequences we see today.

559. Miss Hatsune was targeted by the Big Bad Wolf.

The front door and the living room.

"Detective Lin, the only road leading to the mansion has collapsed due to the rain. It will probably take us a while to get here on foot..." It was the voice of the Metropolitan Police Department operator on the phone.

"I understand."

Lin Xiaofeng was speechless to himself. What kind of bad luck was this? Every time something happened, the road would be blocked.

Seeing that he had finished his call, Yoshiaki Daimon quickly asked, "Mr. Lin, could it be that an outsider broke in last night and killed my brother and my father?"

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head: "Let's put aside the matter of President Daimon for now. It's impossible for an outsider to be familiar with the layout of the Daimon family, to walk straight into Mr. Daimon Kazuki's room, kill him, and then disguise the death scene as a locked room."

"Therefore, this incident must have been an internal affair."

Upon hearing this, Kayoko Daimon slightly raised her head to look at Yoshiro Daimon, and said with an unfriendly gaze, "I think the most likely culprit is you, Yoshiro."

"Don't police officers always consider things like motives when investigating cases?"

"I think you're the one among us with the strongest motive to kill those two."

“Once your father-in-law and Yishu are dead, Damen Industries can naturally be taken over by you, the unfilial son.”

"Whether you sell the company and go abroad to pursue your ideals or continue to run the business is entirely up to you, isn't it?"

Daimon Ryoro immediately retorted, "But there are no footprints of mine on there at all! Tell me how I went from the back courtyard to the side room without leaving any footprints!"

Kayoko Daimon scoffed, "With professional police around, I'm too lazy to bother with your schemes."

Silence fell over the living room once again.

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at the maid, Hojo Hatsuho, who was completely unnoticed by anyone, even though he was reluctant to speculate about this fan of his.

But the fact is that she is indeed one of the top suspects at present.

After some thought, Lin Xiaofeng decided to formally question the members of the Da Men family again.

His first choice was Kayoko Daimon.

"Mrs. Kayoko Daimon, didn't you see the footprints on the ground when you went upstairs to call Mr. Kazuki Daimon this morning?"

"Even if it's a little shallow, you can still see it if you look closely."

Kayoko Daimon hesitated for a moment before explaining, "The door in the corridor wasn't open at the time. The corridor was a bit dark, and it's normal that I don't need to look where I've been walking in this place for years..."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Da Menlianglang, "And you, Mr. Lianglang? Besides what you just said to me, is there anything else you want to say?"

That being said, Lin Xiaofeng didn't have much suspicion about him.

If he really was the murderer, he wouldn't have been foolish enough to reveal his conversation with Kazuki Daimon.

Judging from Kayoko Daimon's attitude towards him, if she knew about this, she would definitely tell him.

Yoshiro Daimon thought for a moment and said, "I think I saw Hatsuho making coffee when I came down from my brother's room. That should be enough evidence, right?"

"Come down from the room with the tree?"

Kayoko Daimon's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Xiaofeng excitedly, saying, "Detective, did you hear that? Ryo himself said those words, isn't that enough evidence?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly: "No need to rush, it's not too late to ask everyone first."

Kayoko Daimon thought that Lin Xiaofeng had already identified Yoshiaki Daimon as the prime suspect, so she quickly nodded and sat down.

Just as Yoshiaki Daimon was about to explain, Lin Xiaofeng raised his hand to interrupt: "Alright, Mr. Yoshiaki, please calm down. As I said, let me finish asking everyone questions before you ask any more."

"Of course, if you have anything to add, that's another matter."

Yoshiaki Daimon could only sit back down on the sofa, feeling rather dejected.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the last suspect here—Hojo Hatsuho.

Before he could even ask, Hojo Hatsuho stood up abruptly. Looking into Lin Xiaofeng's eyes, she clenched her fists in silence for a moment, then raised her head with a complex expression and said, "Mr. Lin, I know you already know everything, but I am indeed not the murderer..."

"After seeing your advice, I've decided to let go of my hatred and live a good life."

“My father was a kind man all his life, but he committed suicide out of guilt for not giving the workers a proper job. If I, as his daughter, were to commit murder instead, how could I face him?”

“You’re right. Those who fight back are never weak. Dad became weak because of a moment of weakness. If…”

She was already sobbing uncontrollably as she spoke.

"If he had been as lucky as me to have met you, maybe he wouldn't have committed suicide back then..."

Those present were completely bewildered by the scene and looked at each other in confusion.

Lin Xiaofeng sighed deeply and explained, "The newspaper that Mr. Daimon Yoshiro showed us last night reported that Kenichi Sagusa is Miss Hatsuho's father..."

"So..." Xiaolan wanted to go up and comfort her, but even she felt that Hojo Hatsuho was highly suspicious at this moment, and she suddenly felt at a loss.

Lin Xiaofeng scanned everyone's faces again, his eyes gradually sharpening, and finally shook his head, saying, "No, Miss Chu Sui is not the murderer..."

"But it's you—Mrs. Kayoko Daimon!"

Kayoko Daimon's expression suddenly changed, but she quickly forced a smile and said, "W-how could it be me? I've never been to Ichiki's room..."

"Oh, really?"

Lin Xiaofeng laughed: "Killing President Daimon was probably something you two discussed together, right? And the one who carried out the murder was Mr. Daimon Kazuki."

"..." Kayoko Daimon's smile instantly froze.

“That’s not right, Mr. Lin. There are no footprints of my brother in the courtyard. If he had walked on the ground after the rain, he would have left footprints.” Daimon Yoshiaki frowned slightly.

At this moment, Shirley, who was standing to the side, said calmly, "Is that so hard to understand? Just leave your own footprints when you go there, and then cover them up with bigger footprints when you come back."

Da Men Lianglang suddenly realized,

"I see. In that case, the armor my brother is wearing is one he put on himself."

“That’s right, just like Shiho said, which is why no other footprints were found.” Lin Xiaofeng nodded approvingly.

Shirley couldn't help but smile, looking as beautiful as a painting.

At that moment, Kayoko Daimon thought of something and said loudly, "Even if what you said might be true, why did I kill Ichiki?"

"If what you're saying is the truth, then I'm even less likely to kill him! If Kazuki dies, how can I expect to inherit Daimon Industries?"

Lin Xiaofeng persisted, saying, "I think perhaps when Mr. Daimon Kazuki asked you to help remove his armor, your conversation suddenly touched on some sensitive topic."

"After being slandered, you grabbed the samurai sword on the table and stabbed him to death in a fit of anger."

"The evidence is that both of these victims were stabbed in the back by the katana."

"Biological instincts prevent people from easily exposing their backs to others, and the person President Daimon was completely unsuspecting of was his eldest son..."

"And who else could be completely unguarded by Mr. Daimon Kazuki, who was wearing the armor of Hideyuki Okinawa at that time, but you, his wife?"

Kayoko Daimon lowered her head, her hands trembling involuntarily under the table, and stammered, "Even so, it's all just your guess..."

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head, feeling a headache coming on from this stubborn person.

After a long silence, he sighed and said, "It's impossible to stab someone with a katana without drawing blood. Once you find the clothes you didn't have time to deal with, you'll know whether you were right or wrong."

"But even if we can't find them, it doesn't matter. A person without suspicion won't suddenly throw away their perfectly dressed clothes. Even if they did, they could easily find them in the trash, because..."

“The road up the mountain has collapsed, and even the garbage collectors can’t get up here.”

"..."

"Keep the change, please……"

Kayoko Daimon suddenly looked up and gave a bitter laugh. "That piece of clothing was put in the opening of the stove."

“I originally thought that as long as I could get through Hatsuho’s cooking, everything would be solved. I never expected to meet a policeman who could find out the truth without even having to wait until then.”

“You’re right. Last night, perhaps because Dad called Lianglang back to work, both Yishu and I had the idea of ​​killing Dad.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng and Koizumi Akako exchanged a knowing glance.

The malice in these two people's hearts was stirred up by the evil curse within their armor.

Kayoko Daimon continued:

"Once Dad dies, the company will definitely belong to Ichiki, who is already handling the business."

"did not expect……"

She was silent for a moment, then spoke listlessly, "I never expected him to say that I wasn't worthy of sharing the inheritance with him and that he was only going to give me a sum of money and call it a day."

"If he hadn't always neglected me after I married into this family from so far away, I would have been a virtuous wife and loving mother..."

The happiest person after learning that Hojo Hatsuho was not the mastermind was none other than Ran, who also had the qualities of a cook.

She breathed a huge sigh of relief and said thankfully, "Ms. Hatsune, it's so good that you're not the murderer."

The real culprit, Kayoko Daimon, looked up and glared at her: What are you talking about, you little brat? You're not surprised at all that I'm the murderer, are you?

Lin Xiaofeng gave her a cold glare, and she immediately retreated, weakly lowering her head.

Hojo Hatsuho shook her head. "I did consider killing the master and the young master today to get revenge, but I hesitated because of Mr. Lin's arrival."

Koizumi Akako's focus was different.

She crossed her arms, glanced sideways at Lin Xiaofeng, and said meaningfully, "This young master of the Da family can't even handle a woman. If he had learned from someone earlier, maybe there wouldn't have been so many problems..."

"Cough cough..."

Lin Xiaofeng glared at her, then turned to Da Men Lianglang, who seemed lost in thought, and said, "Mr. Lianglang, the police should be here soon. I need to stay and watch the prisoner."

"So I can only trouble Mr. Yoshiro to find the clothes that Mrs. Kayoko mentioned."

With the wife gone, the family, now lacking two pillars of support, urgently needs a strong backer, and the Lin family is a good choice.

Thinking of the gate here, Ryosuke quickly got up.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Tch." Koizumi Akako curled her lip in disapproval.

When Sherry saw the two's strange behavior, she couldn't help but think back to when she arrived. Back then, Koizumi Akako hadn't said a word, but now she had actually learned to joke!
