By this time, they had probably already left Italy.

"Lin Xiaofeng, you must come visit me often in the future." At the airport, Rebecca held Lin Xiaofeng's arm with some reluctance and repeatedly urged him.

The book that Uraga Wataru left her had been burned page by page by her own hands last night, so Rebecca felt a little empty inside.

Although Lin Xiaofeng had satisfied her thoroughly last night, his departure only intensified her sense of loneliness.

That's why she's now like glue, wanting nothing more than to stick to Lin Xiaofeng's side.

"Why don't you come to Japan as a guest in a while? I'll personally host you then," Lin Xiaofeng said, looking at the girl's sudden transformation from a twenty-something to a ten-something.

The new head of MI6 will come to apologize in a while; it's not convenient for her to leave San Marino right now.

"Yes, yes! I'll definitely go! So, Lin Xiaofeng, please give me your address in Japan first!" Rebecca's eyes lit up, and she looked up at Lin Xiaofeng and nodded repeatedly.

Robertson handed over paper and pen from the side at the opportune moment, and then gestured to Lin Xiaofeng.

Write it more clearly!

Lin Xiaofeng wrote down his address in Beihu Town in detail on a piece of paper, and also left his landline number.

Rebecca held the paper in her arms as if it were a priceless treasure.

“Remember to think of me.” Rebecca tiptoed and gently kissed Lin Xiaofeng’s lips, then took two steps back, reminding him with a fragile, porcelain-like smile.

Rebecca is a strong girl. Although she is showing her timid and insecure side now, it won't be long before she regains her former charm.

"Don't get involved in any more of those messy rumors." Lin Xiaofeng listened to the boarding announcement (Mano Zhao) over the loudspeaker and reminded Rebecca, "If you encounter any troubles, call me anytime."

"Okay! No more! Bye-bye—!" Rebecca waved goodbye to Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng originally entered the country illegally. However, his disguise had some problems. This new set of documents was obtained for Lin Xiaofeng by Rebecca using her connections. Although it's a temporary document, it's completely genuine.

When the plane took off, Rebecca appeared to be standing still in the same spot.

It wasn't until half a minute later that Rebecca and Robertson's points of light began to move.

Lin Xiaofeng then closed his eyes and began to rest.

He was up all night and didn't get much rest.

By the time the plane landed at Haneda Airport, Lin Xiaofeng had rested and was fully refreshed.

569. I am Lin Xiaofeng, consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department.

On a side street in Beikacho 3-chome, looking at the body of a woman in a black suit lying on the ground not far away, Hagiwara Chisato reported the situation to the police station with a grim face.

This is the second case of a female police officer being murdered in two days, following the incident that occurred last night at Mihua East Park.

Having been a police officer for so many years, Hagiwara Chisato immediately recognized the posture the body had instinctively assumed.

It's clear that the other person is a veteran police officer.

As a traffic police officer, what Chisato Hagiwara can do within his job scope is to disperse the crowd that may gather afterward and protect the scene as much as possible.

Soon after, several police cars arrived one after another.

A man dressed in plain clothes, with severe burns on his right cheek, strode out of a police car and walked toward the crime scene.

"Sir, please put on your shoe covers first." Hagiwara Chisato stopped him and reminded him, "The criminal didn't clean up the scene properly; there are still a few of the criminal's shoe prints left."

“…Yes, I understand.” Kuroda Hyōe nodded and stopped walking.

"Have you seen the situation on site?" Kuroda Hyōe asked Hagiwara Chisato.

"Yes! Forgive my overstepping, but I took photos of the scene before anyone else arrived," Hagiwara Chisato replied. "It is certain that this is a case where the perpetrator targeted the Japanese police."

"reason?"

“The twisted 100-yen coin embedded in the crack of the deceased’s phone,” Hagiwara Chisato replied. “The cherry blossom engraved on the back is the badge of us Japanese police officers.”

"Hmm." After putting on shoe covers and gloves, Kuroda Hyoue entered the scene.

Through a preliminary investigation of the body, Kuroda Hyōe has also determined the identity of the deceased.

Police Inspector Shiori Yagi, Traffic Enforcement Division 497, Metropolitan Police Department.

She was a colleague of Inspector Touko Hyakusaki, who was murdered last night.

So, were these two consecutive police killings really targeted at the police?

And it was specifically targeting traffic police.

Kuroda Hyoue shifted his gaze from the body to Hagiwara Chisato, who was standing to the side.

"your name."

"Yes! Hagiwara Chisato! I belong to the Traffic Division of Beido-cho Police Station!"

"Hmm? It's you." Kuroda Hyoue had heard this name not long ago.

He's quite a celebrity in Beika Town.

"Huh? Isn't this Senso? What, is there a traffic accident?" An unfamiliar voice came from behind, startling Kuroda Hyōe so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He had no idea that someone was standing behind him!

He turned around abruptly and saw a handsome young man standing there, greeting Hagiwara Chisato over him.

"Someone you know?" Kuroda Hyōe asked, his brows furrowed as he stared at the boy.

"Yes!"

"I'm Lin Xiaofeng, an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department. I just happened to be passing by." Lin Xiaofeng looked Kuroda Heiwa up and down before answering.

"Did you hear anything?" Kuroda asked.

"No. However, I seem to smell blood." Lin Xiaofeng shook his head without hesitation.

"If it's just outside the cordon, it's fine, but you absolutely cannot step inside the cordon," Kuroda Hyōe reminded Lin Xiaofeng with a blank expression.

“That direction is…” Lin Xiaofeng examined the deceased’s face from a few meters away, and then, following the direction her face was facing, he saw the traffic warning sign on the side of the road.

No Parking?

"Chisato, can you help me verify something?" Lin Xiaofeng whispered to Hagiwara Chisato, "Go check if there are any marks on the deceased's face where it was rubbed against the ground."

A few seconds later, Hagiwara Chisato returned and nodded to Lin Xiaofeng.

"There are scratches on the tip of the nose, and the lipstick also shows signs of rubbing on the right side."

"So, she really was trying to leave a death message." Lin Xiaofeng nodded knowingly.

"What death message?" Kuroda Hyōe came over after hearing the commotion and happened to hear Lin Xiaofeng's murmur, so he asked.

"Even before you die, turn your face in that direction, and take the traffic sign facing you as a death message," Lin Xiaofeng replied, pointing to the traffic sign on the roadside.

"No Parking……"

"Oh, speaking of which, I heard that a policewoman was murdered near Mihana East Park before. Is that related to this incident?" Lin Xiaofeng asked Kuroda Heiwei.

"It's not clear yet, but both of them are traffic enforcement officers," Kuroda Hyōe replied, sizing up Lin Xiaofeng.

"I see..." Lin Xiaofeng nodded thoughtfully. "Could it be that the policewoman deliberately pointed towards the same traffic sign when she died?"

Kuroda Hyoue raised an eyebrow slightly.

Before he could even speak, the Metropolitan Police Department officers finally arrived.

"I'm so sorry we're late!" The first one to get off the bus was always the god of the scene, Inspector Megure.

And several police officers, including Miwako Sato, Wataru Takagi, Ninzaburo Shiratori, and Kazunobu Chiba, often appeared behind him.

“Oh, you’re not too late. I just happened to be taking a walk nearby, so I hitched a ride with the Beika Police Station to the scene,” Kuroda Hyōe replied, waving his hand. “This is Inspector Hagiwara Chihaya of the Beika Police Station, who was the first to discover the crime scene.”

After presenting Hagiwara Chisato, Kuroda Hyoue planned to return to the Metropolitan Police Department first.

After all, as the head of the First Investigation Division, he would be chairing investigation meetings afterwards.

"Lin Xiaofeng? What are you doing here?" Sato Miwako then noticed Lin Xiaofeng standing by the police tape not far away.

“Oh, I live nearby. After noticing the commotion, I came to check it out,” Lin Xiaofeng replied.

"I've already shared the information I have with Sister Qiansu, so you can just ask her."

"However, before that, I have something else I'd like to ask. When that policewoman passed away, did she also intentionally point to the same traffic sign?" Lin Xiaofeng asked, pointing to the 'No Parking' sign on the side of the road.

"Huh?" Sato Miwako looked at the traffic warning sign in surprise, then clapped her hands as if she remembered something.

"So that's how it is! Chief Inspector Hyakusaki wasn't referring to the swing, but rather the 'No Parking' sign!"

"Tell me in detail." Lin Xiaofeng immediately perked up.

It happened about a week ago.

The first victim, Inspector Hyakusaki, said she felt like she was being followed.

The most suspicious people at the time were the three people who had recently been caught violating traffic regulations.

Kengo Aono was using his phone while driving, and he didn't even have his driver's license with him.

Wanzhi, Chifeng, was riding a motorcycle without a helmet and going against traffic.

Yuzo Hakusan was not wearing a seatbelt and his vehicle inspection certificate had expired.

All three seemed to be in a hurry and attempted to escape before the ticket was issued, but were instead taken back to the station for obstructing official business.

"Qingye...no way?" Lin Xiaofeng's lips twitched as he looked at the traffic warning sign.

"What's wrong? Do you already have someone you suspect?" Sato Miwako pressed.

"This reasoning is too outrageous, it's like a lame joke, are you sure you want to hear it?" Lin Xiaofeng looked at Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru, who was anxiously crowding around.

The two nodded in unison.

"The no-parking sign is the shape of the letters 'N' and 'O' overlapping, which is 'NO', and then the blue color of the sign is added, 'ao' and 'no'."

“…Really, it’s so cold.” Sato Miwako’s lips twitched a few times, and a helpless expression appeared on her face. “No wonder you think it’s outrageous.”

"By the way, it would be best to hand over the damaged cell phone of that policewoman to the forensic department for examination. There might be death messages left on it due to the quirks of a traffic enforcement officer."

"Otherwise, the murderer wouldn't have deliberately destroyed the phone."

"Okay, I'll get right on it!" Takagi, the professional tool, felt capable again.

"Takagi-kun, what are you planning to do?" Shiratori put his hand on Takagi's shoulder with a forced smile. "Don't you know your mission is to visit the nearby citizens with Chiba?"

"Yes! I'm sorry! I'll do it right away!" Terrified, Takagi immediately grabbed Chiba and ran away as if their lives depended on it.

"Speaking of which, what about Yumi and Miaozi?" Lin Xiaofeng looked around and then asked, "The two policewomen who were murdered should have been their colleagues in the same office, right? It's not impossible that they were also being targeted."

"I'll contact Yumi right away!" Sato Miwako immediately took out her phone and started contacting her best friend.

"Huh? Miaozi and I might be being watched too? How could that be? We haven't offended anyone recently." Yumi was very nervous about the phone call from Miwako.

"In short, it's always better to be careful. You two, please don't split up," Sato Miwako reminded them.

"Yes, yes, I know."

"Alright, I've already reminded her, now..."

"Wait, do you think Yumi is the kind of person who would obediently listen to others?" Lin Xiaofeng suddenly interrupted her.

"Well, what you're saying makes sense," Sato Miwako said hesitantly, looking at her phone. "But I really can't leave right now."

"It's alright, I'll take care of Nanami and Miao Ziba's safety." Lin Liu Xiaoyi patted his chest and replied, "After all, I'm a master of close combat."

“Um, making citizens who should be protected by police officers protect police officers, isn’t that…” Sato Miwako wavered a little.

"A life is at stake, officer!"

570. Miike Naeko became a steam princess.

"That's the situation. I've even pointed out who the real culprit is. I shouldn't need to do anything else, right?"

Lin Xiaofeng is currently on the phone with Conan and has summarized all the clues he has obtained to inform Conan.

"Why do I have to do this? Can't you do it yourself?" Conan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I've been asked to protect Yumi's safety."

"Oh, I see. But you don't really think Mr. Aono is the culprit based on such an absurd reason, do you?" Conan pressed.

"The cell phone that Inspector Yagi replaced and took back to the Metropolitan Police Department for testing should, if all goes well, have the numbers '7155' on it. You can ask Takagi or Chiba to confirm it later."

"7155? What does that mean?" Conan continued to ask.

"Article 71, Paragraph 5, Subparagraph 5 of the Road Traffic Law."
