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

"No way... Lin Xiaofeng, you and Mizunashi Rena, are..."

"That's right. Rena Mizunashi is absolutely the most beautiful Japanese female TV host!"

"Lin Xiaofeng, can you please shut up? How can you go around spreading this kind of thing around?"

Rena Mizunashi was panicked and was hoping that Lin Xiaofeng would keep it a secret, but Lin Xiaofeng just revealed it directly.

"No way. You guys actually did it!"

Amuro Tooru's eyes widened. The organization sent Lin Xiaofeng to investigate Mizunashi Rena, and Lin Xiaofeng actually managed to get Mizunashi Rena into bed. High school detective, well lived up to his name.

"How can we know if Rena Mizunashi is reliable without going deep into the field? Now, I can confidently tell you that Rena Mizunashi is reliable and is our partner."

"I see... I understand."

Amuro Tooru suddenly realized that Lin Xiaofeng had done this in order to complete the mission assigned by the organization. He was really working hard.

……

Conan listened for a long time but didn't understand what they were saying. However, he was certain of one thing: Lin Xiaofeng had just betrayed his sister Ran, and he was going to tell Ran on him.

Conan immediately went downstairs to tell Ran on him.

At this moment, Ran was looking up at the bright full moon in the sky, while Kogoro Mouri was smoking next to her. The father and daughter were idly enjoying the breeze in the courtyard.

"Sister Xiaolan! Sister Xiaolan! Something terrible has happened!"

Conan came downstairs and saw Ran, and immediately ran towards her.

"What's wrong, Conan? Why are you in such a panic?"

"Brother Xiaofeng, I've cheated on you!"

"what?"

Ran looked completely bewildered, while Kogoro Mouri, who was smoking, glanced sideways at Conan.

"I just saw Brother Xiaofeng and Miss Mizunashi Rena being intimate."

Conan told Ran directly.

"What! Kaze, he and Rena Mizunashi... were getting intimate?"

Xiao Lan looked incredulous. Lin Xiaofeng and Mizunashi Rena didn't know each other at all, and Mizunashi Rena didn't seem like the kind of woman who would do anything reckless.

"Cough cough cough-"

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing next to Conan, was also startled by Conan's words.

"Conan, did you see it with your own eyes?" Ran asked doubtfully.

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard the sound, and I'm absolutely certain I heard it correctly," Conan said confidently.

Xiaolan, however, was even more skeptical.

"You little brat, what do you know about intimacy? Don't talk nonsense."

"Exactly. How could Rena Mizunashi, a famous female TV host, possibly be interested in a mere high school detective? She'd be more likely to be interested in me, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri."

Conan clutched his head, desperately trying to explain. This only aroused suspicion from Kogoro Mouri and Ran; Conan, a mere elementary school student, was acting too strangely.

Not long after, Lin Xiaofeng, Amuro Tooru, and Mizunashi Rena also came downstairs.

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately stepped forward and asked Rena Mizunashi for her opinion.

"Miss Mizunashi Rena, Conan said he saw you and Detective Lin Xiaofeng being intimate. Is that true?"

"Huh?" Rena Mizunashi was taken aback. "Conan, is that what you said to Mr. Mori?"

"Yes." Kogoro Mouri pointed at Conan and nodded.

"Of course it's a misunderstanding. Detective Lin Xiaofeng came to my room first to investigate clues about the thief, and then Detective Amuro Tooru and Conan came over as well."

"I see, that's good."

Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief. Rena Mizunashi was his goddess! If Lin Xiaofeng had won her over so easily, his pride would have been hurt.

Ran, hands on her hips, scolded Conan: "Conan, did you hear me? Don't think you can just talk nonsense just because you're a kid!"

"Waaaaah... I really didn't lie."

Conan, unwilling to give up, ran up to Rena Mizunashi and pointed at her long, beautiful legs.

"Oh dear—Miss Mizunashi Rena's stockings, how did they get so badly torn!"

Rena Mizunashi lowered her head and looked at her stockings, which were simply unbearable to look at.

Oh no, I should have thrown away those stockings. Why am I still wearing them like this?

Rena Mizunashi immediately explained, "Little friend, these are new stockings, specially designed with ripped holes."

Conan was utterly astonished; what new ripped stockings? He had no idea.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately stared at Rena Mizunashi's unparalleled legs. He could only see Rena Mizunashi's jade-like legs, encased in torn stockings, half-transparent, captivating and alluring.

Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but shudder, his eyes gleaming like lasers, wishing he could just kneel down and start licking.

"These stockings are amazing, so well-designed, they're perfect for Rena Mizunashi, they're so beautiful!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Of course it's beautiful, I tore it.

119. An Unstoppable Tide

Next, everyone gathered in Rena Mizunashi's room to discuss the theft case in Yoko Okino's room.

Lin Xiaofeng gave a mock analysis: "The muddy footprints left at the crime scene were very messy and extended all the way to the window. The soil was quite fine, mixed with some grass and leaf fragments, and it smelled... slightly fishy."

Conan was inspecting the tatami mats and said without turning his head, "This smells the same as the soil by the lake and in the garden. The culprit must have accidentally waded through the water, which is why his feet are covered in mud. But what's most puzzling is... what's with this strange fishy smell?"

Rena Mizunashi was ashamed, and her uncontrollable tears ruined the scene.

Lin Xiaofeng stood beside Mizunashi Rena and patted her shoulder to reassure her. Conan, though a famous detective, is an all-ages detective; he wouldn't notice such a subtle detail.

Rena Mizunashi felt a sense of security after being comforted by Lin Xiaofeng. She thought that being Lin Xiaofeng's pet and being loved by such a powerful man as Lin Xiaofeng wasn't so bad.

Then, Lin Xiaofeng walked to the windowsill and looked down.

"Conan, there's a beam outside the window. Didn't you notice such important information?"

"Of course I found it."

Conan crawled out of the closet, his face covered in dust, and trotted over to climb laboriously onto the windowsill. "You mean those protruding wooden pillars outside? I don't think this clue connects to the others."

With his hands shrugged, Conan confidently stated, "Yoko Okino's room is on the third floor of the hotel. If the culprit wants to climb up, there are two options: one is to go around to the window from another room, and the other is to climb directly from the bottom. This is difficult, but not impossible."

"As for those solid wooden pillars you mentioned, there's no mud on them at all, proving that the prisoner didn't choose this path!"

Strangely, apart from the footprints in the house and courtyard, no other marks were found in the hotel. How did the criminal escape?

This is the third floor. If the thief jumps from here, won't he break his leg?

Are you sure the prisoner jumped out of the window?

"That's what Yoko Okino said; she was very sure she hadn't misread it."

Conan looked certain.

Lin Xiaofeng thought to himself, "The world of Ke Xue is about science, so there's no need to take it too seriously."

After investigating for a long time, Kogoro Mouri and Tooru Amuro found nothing and looked at Lin Xiaofeng.

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

……

In the lively living room, waiters brought out carefully prepared dishes.

The set meal includes more than a dozen snacks such as shrimp and tofu, ship-shaped sashimi, snowflake beef hot pot, and handmade buckwheat noodles. Each person receives one set meal. Nichiri TV is very generous when it comes to travel allowances.

During the meal...

Conan's little eyes darted around, glancing left at Naoki Seiichi in the far corner and right at Mizunashi Rena sipping miso soup. He chewed a shrimp for half a minute before swallowing it.

Even during mealtimes, Yoko Okino was always under the 'protection' of the police. A group of burly policemen were watching her closely, and even mosquitoes eyeing her blood couldn't harm her.

"Miss Mizunashi, come on, let's have a drink!"

Before the meal even started, Kogoro Mouri, already quite drunk, diligently poured Rena Mizunashi a full glass of sake and said, "Today's recording went very smoothly. It looks like we can wrap it up tomorrow!"

"Ah... um."

Rena Mizunashi wanted to refuse, but when she thought about how hard Kogoro Mouri had worked on the filming today, she couldn't bring herself to say it. She could only pick up her glass and take a small sip.

After swallowing the spicy liquor, Rena Mizunashi ate a piece of sashimi. The wasabi hit her nasal cavity, and in that instant... her cat-eye-like pupils suddenly lit up.

"Mr. Mori, I'd like to propose a toast to you!"

Rena Mizunashi's uncharacteristically boldness drew the attention of everyone.

In just a few minutes, she had downed two bottles of beer and was chatting and laughing with Kogoro Mouri.

The blush slowly rising on her cheeks indicated that she was about to get drunk, but Rena Mizunashi didn't care and continued to drink.

"Did she suffer a shock?"

Amuro Tooru picked up a slice of raw beef, dipped it in the pot, and asked suspiciously:

"Does this sound a bit like you've given up on yourself?"

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Liu Shuiwu and Lian Nai, then ladled out a bowl of his freshly cooked buckwheat noodles, placed it in front of the small bowl of noodles, and calmly said:

"I'm afraid he's not provoked, but rather he wants to provoke others."

"Provoke others?"

With a narrowed eye, Amuro Tooru looked thoughtfully at Naoki Seiichi, Aohara Daisuke, and Yonehara Sakurako, as if he understood something.

Rena Mizunashi's seemingly carefree drinking (bhbe) was actually just a show.

She planned to use alcohol to confuse the prisoner, prompting him to take action again that night, thus catching him red-handed.

Time passes minute by minute...

Dinner lasted for nearly half an hour. Rena Mizunashi, who couldn't hold her liquor, stood up unsteadily, her cheeks flushed, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

"Reina!"

Seeing this, Yoko immediately stood up and started to climb over. Wu pushed aside the police officers around them and tried to help his wife up.

But Lin Xiaofeng beat her to it. Lin Xiaofeng was seen supporting Shui Qun helplessly, leaving Yoko stunned.

Yoko Okino also wanted to have close contact with Lin Xiaofeng, but unfortunately she never had the chance.

"Rena, why did you deliberately get yourself so drunk?"

"It's none of your business."

Rena Mizunashi pushed Lin Xiaofeng aside and came to Yoko's side.

Yoko caught Rena Mizunashi and asked with concern, "Rena, are you alright?"

"Uh-huh……"

Rena Mizunashi stared blankly at her best friend, her eyes unfocused.

"Yoko... what are you doing here?"

"me……"

Yoko Okino was both amused and exasperated. She told the others and prepared to help Rena Mizunashi back to her room first.

The police followed closely behind, and whenever they tried to get closer and lend a hand, Yoko Okino would glare at them with eyes as fierce as a wildcat, determined not to let them lay a finger on her best friend.

Yoko Okino took most of the police away, and the oppressive atmosphere in the living room dissipated, with everyone breathing a sigh of relief.

"Dad! Daddy!"

Some were happy while others were sad. Rena Mizunashi, as a CIA agent, had an extraordinary capacity for alcohol. In half an hour, she downed a dozen beers, getting Kogoro Mouri completely drunk. He collapsed onto the table, knocking over countless beer bottles, and passed out.

Ran Mouri tried to wake Kogoro Mouri, but no matter how much she shook him, he showed no signs of waking up and remained completely drunk.

"Dad, I can't stand it, he's drunk again!"

Ran Mouri helped Kogoro Mouri up, and Lin Xiaofeng immediately stepped forward to help him up as well.

"Xiao Lan, let me help you."
