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

"This woman is... TV host Rena Mizunashi!"

"That's right, I want you to help me investigate her."

"Are you a fan of Rena Mizunashi? You want me to investigate Rena Mizunashi? Mr. Subaru Okiya, being a sasaeng fan is not a proper thing to do."

“I’m not that shallow… This woman is dangerous. I suspect she has connections with some international criminal organization. I need you to investigate Rena Mizunashi’s true identity.”

Lin Xiaofeng pretended to be surprised and continued to try to get information out of Akai Shuichi.

"International criminal organizations, that sounds dangerous."

"Indeed. But shouldn't such a big case be handed over to you, the renowned detective?"

Shuichi Akai originally only wanted to get to know Xiaofeng Lin, but Xiaofeng Lin broke his defenses, leaving him no choice but to use someone else to do his dirty work.

In fact, Shuichi Akai already strongly suspected that Rena Mizunashi was a member of the organization, but without concrete evidence, handing it over to Lin Xiaofeng for investigation would kill two birds with one stone, wouldn't it?

“That makes sense. However, for such a big case, my asking price won’t be low.”

"How much do you want?"

Shuichi Akai asked with a cold face.

One hundred million yen.

One hundred million yen!

Upon hearing this number, Shuichi Akai immediately turned hostile and wanted to leave.

"However, before the matter is fully investigated, I will only accept a deposit of 84,000 yen; 10 million yen will suffice."

"Ten million yen..."

Although the FBI allocated a considerable amount of funding to Shuichi Akai, ten million yen was still a significant sum, and Akai would still feel the pinch if he simply threw it away to Lin Xiaofeng.

"You said it yourself, it's very dangerous, I might lose my life, so it's not unreasonable for me to take your ten million yen deposit, is it?"

"Row!"

Shuichi Akai gritted his teeth and agreed.

Lin Xiaofeng took out his phone and asked Akai Shuichi to transfer money to his bank account.

Shuichi Akai actually did as instructed and transferred ten million yen to Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng was surprised that Akai Shuichi's money was so easy to swindle.

While Lin Xiaofeng was still in shock, Shuichi Akai secretly made up his mind that no matter what Lin Xiaofeng found out, he would absolutely not pay the other 90 million. If Lin Xiaofeng dared to play him for a fool, he would make Lin Xiaofeng disappear physically.

"Oh, oh, oh, I'm so glad to have received your ten million yen, Mr. Okiya Subaru. As for Rena Mizunashi, I will definitely investigate her thoroughly for you!"

"..." Shuichi Akai remained silent with a grim face, as if he had truly been humiliated.

"The deal is done, I must take my leave now." Lin Xiaofeng finished his milk tea in one gulp and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Shuichi Akai spoke again, "Detective Hayashi, who is that dark-skinned man you mentioned?"

"Oh, that dark-skinned man is really quite nice. As a bonus, I can tell you some information about him."

Lin Xiaofeng took out his phone and showed Akai Hide a picture of Amuro Tooru.

"This...this man looks familiar." This man reminded Shuichi Akai of his best friend from police academy, Rei Furuya. They really looked alike, though he wasn't as dark-skinned. In comparison, Shuichi Akai thought this dark-skinned man was much better.

"Would you like me to introduce him to you?"

"Ah."

"His name is Amuro Tooru. He's a detective at the Amuro Detective Agency, and he's my partner! His contact information is..."

Lin Xiaofeng generously gave Akai Shuichi Amuro Tooru's phone number.

"Thank you, thank you."

Akai Ryosuke's face flushed red. (The King of Pretends actually thanked Lin Xiaofeng. Lin Xiaofeng's wife was overwhelmed with gratitude.)

107. Organize a new task: Investigate Rena Mizunashi

Lin Xiaofeng got up to leave, but unexpectedly discovered another peculiar pair.

There's something very off about Ms. Judy and Dr. Araide.

Lin Xiaofeng put on his X-ray glasses and immediately recognized Dr. Shinichi as Vermouth.

Is Vermouth trying to infiltrate the FBI?

"Hey, Lin Xiaofeng, we meet again."

Ms. Judy greeted Lin Xiaofeng first.

"Hehehe... Professor Judy, what a coincidence, there's a new doctor too."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled coldly.

Then, Ms. Judy noticed Shuichi Akai.

"Shuichi?"

Shuichi Akai gave Jodie a look, his face grim, and quickly walked past Jodie.

"Ms. Judy, do you know Mr. Subaru Okiya?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.

"Ah... I don't know her, but she seems like a friend I've met before," Ms. Judy lied.

"Professor Judy, are you and Dr. Shinichi on a date?" Lin Xiaofeng asked again.

"What's wrong? Lin, are you jealous? Your teacher asked you out during the day (and rejected you), and now she's been asked out by a new doctor. Are you regretting it now?"

“I think the one who should regret it is you, Ms. Judy.”

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Dr. Shinichi with a half-smile: "Am I right, Dr. Shinichi?"

"Lin, please don't disturb my date with Ms. Judy, okay?"

"It's a new doctor," he said rather bluntly.

"Alright. Have fun."

Lin Xiaofeng brushed past the two of them and went home.

……

Back in his apartment, Lin Xiaofeng took a hot shower, lay on his bed, and played a pay-to-win mobile game. After playing for a while, he got bored and wondered if he should ask the beautiful Yukiko to go for a night run to get some exercise.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Who could be looking for me so late?"

Lin Xiaofeng opened the door, and standing at the entrance of the apartment was a silver-haired beauty, Vermouth.

Vermouth wore a black, tight-fitting leather outfit; she had a slender figure, a pretty face, and her silver hair shimmered in the moonlight.

"Sister Bei, what brings you here!"

"Can't I come?"

"No, you are very welcome."

Lin Xiaofeng was pleasantly surprised and quickly invited Vermouth in.

"Xiao Feng, did you recognize him just now?"

"Sister Bei, you mean... the thing about disguising yourself as Dr. Nakahara?"

“That’s right.” Vermouth flicked her silver hair, her blue eyes calmly looking at Lin Xiaofeng. “My disguise was so perfect, how did you figure it out?”

"Don't forget, I'm a high school detective, unlike ordinary people."

"A detective's talent? He certainly has some skill."

Vermouth agreed with Lin Xiaofeng's explanation; as a high school detective, he could see through her disguise and understand.

"Sister Bei, are you here to spend the night with me? You're welcome anytime. Trust me, you won't be disappointed." Lin Xiaofeng made no attempt to hide his lust for Vermouth's body.

"If you want to lay a finger on me, at least get an official codename first." Vermouth naturally refused. She did think highly of Lin Xiaofeng, but dating this young man of her generation would be a bit difficult. "Lin Xiaofeng, be serious. I have something to ask you."

"whats the matter?"

"Subaru Okiya, what did you talk about with that man?"

"You mean him? He asked me to investigate a woman."

"who is it?"

"Rena Mizunashi, a female presenter on Nichiuri TV."

"Did you promise him?"

"Of course, he has already paid a deposit of ten million yen. He also promised to pay an additional ninety million yen in commission after the investigation is completed."

"You're too naive. That man definitely won't pay the other 90 million yen."

"It's alright. I've already earned ten million yen, that's enough."

Akagi Hideaki was not guilty, but he was a cold and incompetent detective. Lin Kun Xiaofeng doubted that he could afford 100 million yen. Ten million yen was enough for him to cut his losses.

“Rena Mizunashi, you can’t investigate that woman. That woman is dangerous. I advise you not to get close to her.”

"Oh? Bayonetta, it seems you know her quite well. Rena Mizunashi is definitely more than just a female host."

"Idiot, Rena Mizunashi is a member of the organization, codename Kir."

"People from the organization!"

Lin Xiaofeng pretended to be frightened.

"That woman is dangerous, unlike me who is gentle. You'd better stay away from her!"

"Sister Bei, you actually said you're very gentle!"

"What? Haven't I been gentle enough with you?"

Vermouth hooked Lin Xiaofeng's chin and gave him a witch-like smile.

"No... Dr. Araide should have been killed by you by now."

"It wasn't me, it was Calvados who did it."

Vermouth looked completely innocent.

"Calvados, that man, isn't he your lapdog? The killing of Dr. Araide must have been at your behest. Sister Bay, you're trying to pin the blame on Calvados, that's not fair."

"You're saying Calvados is my lapdog? Do you even know anything about Calvados?"

Vermouth asked, squinting.

“Sister Bei, you are the kind of person I admire. Of course, I need to investigate the men around me.”

“I see.” Vermouth crossed her arms and pondered for a moment. “It seems I underestimated you, Detective 010. In that case, I also have a request for you.”

"What commission?"

"Investigate Rena Mizunashi."

"Didn't you say that Rena Mizunashi is our comrade? Why do you still want me to investigate Rena Mizunashi?"

“Gin has never trusted Rena Mizunashi and wants to find an opportunity to get rid of her. I don’t agree with Gin’s behavior, but I also know that Gin’s judgment is not unfounded. It’s good for you to investigate whether Rena Mizunashi has any problems. It would be best if you had substantial evidence that could convince Gin.”

"I can take on this task, but what are the benefits?"

Lin Xiaofeng boldly and gently embraced Vermouth's slender waist.

"If you complete this mission, you will rightfully obtain the organization's code name. Then, you can play with me however you want, little brother."

Vermouth gently twisted her waist, pulled away from Lin Xiaofeng's embrace, and pushed herself to the door.

"Leave it to me, no problem."

Lin Xiaofeng grinned, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth.

"I'm leaving. One last thing, be careful of Subaru Okiya and Jodie. They're both FBI agents, without a doubt."

After saying that, Vermouth disappeared into the moonlit night.

Lin Xiaofeng also went out, his anger flaring up, and he needed to find someone to vent it on.

108. Yukiko's Big Sword Service

Lin Xiaofeng went out and went straight to the Kudo family's house. He had only one purpose in going to the Kudo family's house: to find Yukiko to relieve his pent-up desires.
