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

"The words on this refer to the street names in Kyoto."

"What! Tell me more!" Yukiko was very curious.

“First is the character ‘坤’ in Kamigyo Ward’s Kuntaka-cho, then the character ‘螂’ in Nakagyo Ward’s Mantangyama-cho, the character ‘筋’ in Kamigyo Ward’s Suji-ibashi-cho, the character ‘野’ in Ukyo Ward’s Adashino-cho, and the character ‘终’ in Sakyo Ward’s Kamisuke-cho.”

"So, the real meaning of the code is... 'Three people were killed, the first being the screenwriter.' The screenwriter... could it be referring to screenwriter Nishiki Taro?" Yukiko's face turned pale. As the wife of the great detective Kudo Yusaku, Yukiko was no naive girl and quickly realized, "This coded message is actually a murder threat?"

"Yes. I think so." Lin Xiaofeng nodded.

"Then we must inform Mr. Ximu immediately!"

With lives at stake, the two got dressed again and went to inform Nishimon Taro of the truth behind the code.

However... it was too late.

"What happened!"

Yukiko stopped in front of Nishiki Taro's door and looked at Anchi Keiko with great eagerness, asking her question.

"Xi Muta, Xi Muta is dead!" An Chi Keiko answered, her face pale as she pointed into the room.

"What! We're already late!" Lin Xiaofeng sighed softly, it was like a pre-arranged plot, always arriving a step too late.

"Detective Lin, what... do you mean?" Anchi Keiko asked in surprise.

“Xiaofeng has already deciphered the contents of that coded message,” Yukiko explained.

"The code has been deciphered?"

The other three also appeared here.

"No mistake, Xiao Fengba has already deciphered the contents of the coded message!" Yu Xizi explained to the three people who came later, "'Three people were killed, the first of whom was the scriptwriter.' That's the original meaning of the code."

“The screenwriter…” Keiko Anchi looked into the room in horror, “Nishiki…”

"Who on earth would send such a murder threat to Nishiki?" Junsen muttered, his face grim.

“Ximu has always had a bad temper, and he has offended countless people…” Ma Shanfeng sighed in distress.

"But who could possibly offend someone to this extent?" Akada Riki said with a puzzled look.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng arrived at the body of Nishiki Taro, who had already died, and examined the marks on it.

pat.

Just as Lin Xiaofeng was intently observing Nishiki Taro's corpse, something suddenly dripped onto his shoulder.

Lin Xiaofeng looked up and saw a gruesome bloodstain on the ceiling, as well as red and black footprints.

"This is truly... an incredible layout."

Yukiko was frightened after just one glance.

“Those footprints… how could someone defy gravity and walk on the ceiling?” Looking at the red and black footprints that stretched all the way out the window, Anchi Keiko seemed somewhat dazed. “Could it be that the one who killed Nishiki was a tengu?”

"Stop joking! How could there possibly be tengu in the real world!" Akada Riki glared at Kurachi Keiko and scolded her.

“But how do you explain that footprint?” Anchi Keiko asked, biting her lip.

“No, this is a real murder committed by a human.” Lin Xiaofeng took out a handkerchief and pulled something out of Nishiki Taro’s pocket. “However, the murderer seems to have some obsession with Tengu, and no matter what, he has to pretend that it was Tengu who did it.”

A leaf of Fatsia japonica.

"what is this?"

Yukiko curiously came closer.

“New code.” Lin Xiaofeng quickly deciphered the code on the leaf and read it aloud. “'There are still two people to kill, and next up is the main character.' That’s what it says.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention turned to Ii Jun Moriya.

Instantly, Izuru's face also turned deathly pale.

"Is...is it my turn next?" With trembling hands, Junsen was also somewhat embarrassed and angry. "How could such a thing happen!"

"I'm more curious about who he'll choose last," Lin Xiaofeng said, pursing his lips. "The killer's target is very clear; it should be the three of you in your group."

"Mr. Nishiki was the first, then Mr. Iijun was the second, so who's the third?"

"Is it Miss Anchi? Or Mr. Masan? Or perhaps Mr. Agada?"

Each time a name was called, Wu would glance at the person's expression.

"The person who came up with this code was Mr. Izukuri, right? Have you contacted him?" Yukiko asked, looking at the group in front of her.

"..."

No one answered; everyone remained silent and lowered their heads.

"He's the one who killed Mr. Nishiki, are you sure you don't want to find out what really happened?" Yukiko reminded her.

"No, it can't be a chestnut." Junsen replied with a wry smile, shaking his head.

"After all, how could someone who has already died kill someone... Could it be that he turned into a celestial dog after death and came back to kill people?" Ma Shanfeng muttered, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Huh? He passed away? That Mr. Izukuri?" Yukiko was stunned.

“Yes, not long ago, he jumped off the stage at Kiyomizu-dera Temple,” Akada Riki replied in a somewhat somber tone.

"Oh? So, someone thinks there's something suspicious about Mr. Izukuri's death, and that's why they've targeted you, the ones most likely to have persecuted him... That's a possibility, isn't it?" Takeshi asked, narrowing his eyes at Agada Riki.

“How could that be! We’ve known Izukuri for over twenty years, how could we possibly persecute him!” Junsen exclaimed anxiously.

· ······Requesting flowers· ···

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Akada Riki's eyes.

“Speaking of which, this amount of bleeding…” Yukiko looked up at the ceiling.

"Oh, it's just a little bit of blood, the rest should be paint," Lin Xiaofeng explained from the side. "Although the smell has dissipated somewhat, you can still faintly smell the unpleasant odor of paint."

"It seems that someone had already laid out a plan on the ceiling of this room without our noticing."

"Moreover, the other party should be someone who is very familiar with Mr. Xi Mu and likes him very much, and they deliberately used some method to arrange him to be in this room. For example, all the other rooms were booked, and this room was the only one left."

"So, you mean..." Ma Shanfeng looked at the three people around him with a suspicious expression, "The murderer who killed Ximu is among us?"

"And the killer's next target is me?" Junsen took a few steps back with a look of horror in his eyes, until he bumped into the wall of the corridor before stopping.

...... ... ...

……

Some time later, the Kyoto police arrived. The Kyoto Prefectural Police Inspector was Inspector Ayanokoji, the one with the squirrel on his shoulder.

Lin Xiaofeng then told Inspector Ayanokoji about his discovery.

"You're Lin Xiaofeng, a high school detective from Tokyo?"

Inspector Ayanokoji was puzzled. He didn't really trust Lin Xiaofeng.

"By the way, does the Kyoto Prefectural Police allow squirrels as pets?"

Lin Xiaofeng shrugged.

Ayanokouji remained silent, offering no answer, and directed the forensic officers to take photos as evidence.

“We need to conduct a detailed investigation of the scene, which will take some time. Please stay in your rooms and don’t wander around.” Inspector Ayanokoji turned to look at Keiko Kurachi and the others standing at the door and reminded them, “After all, both the victim and the suspect are celebrities. Once it gets light, it will cause a commotion.”

"Um, officer, could you please send a police officer to live with me?" Junsen asked somewhat uneasily. "Because according to the code they deciphered, it seems like I'm the next victim."

"Please don't worry, my men will be guarding the corridor and will not allow anyone else to enter the room without your permission." Inspector Ayanokoji politely declined Moriya Ii's request.

The group had no choice but to return to their room.

Lin Xiaofeng and Yukiko returned to their room together.

Yukiko was filled with worry, while Lin Xiaofeng was very understanding.

Yukiko did not stop him, letting Lin Xiaofeng do as he pleased, leaving him only with a pair of white stockings with suspenders.

"Um... Yukiko-neechan."

"What's wrong? What do you want to do? I didn't say I disagreed."

Yukiko looked nonchalant and lay down on her own initiative.

"No... Yukiko-neechan, could you tie your hair into pigtails again? I really like it."

"Heh...you really have a lot of demands."

Yukiko tied her hair into pigtails with a hair tie.

"Is this okay?"

Yukiko gently flicked her orange twin tails.

The beautiful wife, wearing only a white suspender stocking and with her hair in pigtails, is absolutely stunning.

"Absolutely."

Lin Xiaofeng gradually felt that he was losing control of the situation.

66. Floods caused disasters

Lin Xiaofeng was wondering why Yukiko wasn't more reserved, but it turned out that the floods had already caused a major disaster. No wonder, no wonder.

Therefore, Lin Xiaofeng had no choice but to use his magical artifacts to control the flood.

Yukiko gave a soft hum, feeling quite satisfied at first, but suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Xiao Feng, you're driving, why aren't you wearing a helmet again? Aren't you afraid of getting a ticket?"

"Sorry, I don't have that habit when I drive. Yukiko-neechan, are you scared? If you are, I'll go find a helmet and put it on right now."

"Fine, whatever you want."

In fact, Yukiko also felt that riding without a helmet was more exhilarating. Having experienced riding without a helmet, there's no going back.

During the car chase, "963" Xizi vaguely formed her own judgment: who was the murderer?

"breeze?"

"Ok?"

"I think... I feel like I already know who the murderer is!"

"No way. Yukiko-neechan. Aren't you concentrating on your work? Are you thinking about who the murderer is?"

Lin Xiaofeng was completely baffled. Who exactly is the famous detective?

"How can you say he wasn't focused? It's because he was too comfortable that he had an epiphany and came up with the murderer."

"Is this okay?"

“The truth is, from the moment the murder case started, I, Si Jiu, have been hiding, vaguely feeling a premonition. Spirit.” Yukiko’s expression turned bitter, but her waist twisted even more violently, trying to suppress her inner turmoil with physical comfort. “Do you know? Anchi Keiko has always been single.”

"so what?"

"It's because of Izukuri that Anchi Keiko has remained single all these years. She has always secretly loved Izukuri, but unrequited love turned into hatred. After Izukuri's death, Anchi Keiko used a so-called code to kill those who knew about it one by one."

"Yukiko-neechan, have you been reading too many mystery novels?"

"Huh? Isn't that how it is?"

"I completely disagree with your point of view. Your reasoning is entirely based on your imagination and has no basis whatsoever."

In order to make Yukiko understand what he meant, Lin Xiaofeng grabbed Yukiko's twin ponytails and drove wildly!

"Oh no—you mean, Anchi Keiko isn't the murderer!"

“Yes, I have identified the most likely suspect in Nishiki Taro’s murder.” Lin Xiaofeng nodded in reply. “If I’m not mistaken, he will slip up at dawn.”

"It's good that it's not Keiko Anchi." Yukiko was quite confident in Lin Xiaofeng's deductive abilities, after all, her son Conan Edogawa had certified them. As long as the culprit wasn't Keiko Anchi, she would be at ease.

Feeling at ease, Yukiko was completely immersed in her intimate moments with Lin Xiaofeng, as if they had entered a paradise.

……

This morning, Akada Riki had an accident.

What's terrifying is that the upper body of a giant tengu even appeared at the scene.

As a result, the tengu disappeared again in an instant.

Inspector Ayanokoji is panicked and hopes Detective Hayashi will step in and reveal the truth to him.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded silently.
