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

However, now is not the time to turn against each other. Conan still needs Lin Xiaofeng's help in investigating the Black Organization. At least, Conan acknowledges Lin Xiaofeng's abilities.

15. Conan's mother returned to Tokyo alone.

After the incident, Conan spoke privately with Lin Xiaofeng.

The location was at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department, where Lin Xiaofeng had just finished giving his statement to Inspector Megure.

Conan, the bespectacled brat, raised his head and questioned Lin Xiaofeng aggressively.

"Lin Xiaofeng, you know perfectly well that I am Shinichi Kudo, so why do you still try to get close to Ran?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked down at Conan, feigning an innocent expression.

"Conan, you've wronged me. I only went to the Valentine's Day party because Suzuki and Mori invited me."

"Really? I wronged you?"

Conan Edogawa felt comforted upon hearing this.

"Yes."

"No, I just saw it. You took the opportunity to grope Xiaolan. Don't think I don't know. You dare to deny it."

"Fine, I'll admit it! What can you do about it?"

"you--"

"Alright, Conan, you and Ran Mouri are just childhood friends. Mind your own business when it comes to Ran Mouri."

"It's none of your business to lecture me!"

"Instead of focusing your efforts on these three useless aspects, you should first consider whether you can become Kudo Shinichi again."

"I knew it... Lin Xiaofeng, you're a high school detective now, you must be very curious about my situation. The reason I became like this is because I encountered two men in black. From what I've observed, these two men belong to some organization. How about you come with me to investigate that organization?"

"not so good?"

"Huh? You're not interested in that organization?"

"Conan, if you want to go back to your original state, you should investigate what you took, whether there is an antidote, and what to do if there is no antidote?"

"But... without investigating that organization, we won't find the answers to these questions."

"Investigating a mysterious organization is dangerous."

"You're a high school detective now, what are you afraid of?"

"Aren't you a cautionary tale?"

"If you don't want to help, then forget it."

"Conan, I didn't say I wasn't willing to help. I told you to ask your parents to come back to Tokyo to help you, did you do that?"

"Hmm...yes. My dad is actually in the US investigating that organization, and he's making some progress. He won't be coming to Tokyo for the time being. However, my mom will come to Tokyo first. But, my mom is just a housewife, she can't help much."

Conan was quite unwilling; he didn't want his parents to get involved in this matter.

"It's fine if your mom goes back to Tokyo first, I'll help her too."

Lin Xiaofeng rubbed Conan's head, thinking that he might become Conan's stepfather in the future.

……

The day after the Valentine's Day murder.

"A new high school detective? Replacing Shinichi Kudo, a new high school detective is born in Tokyo."

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the headline on his phone and couldn't help but chuckle. Tokyo can't be without a famous detective; Shinichi Kudo had only been gone for a short while, and they'd already brought him back. It's true what they say, "New faces bring joy, old faces bring sorrow."

"Bang! Bang!" There was a knock on the door.

Lin Xiaofeng opened the door and saw that it was Amuro Tooru. He then reached out to close the door.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Amuro Tooru immediately grabbed the door, preventing Lin Xiaofeng from closing it.

"What? You want to trespass?"

"Idiot, we have a mission!"

Amuro Tooru finally managed to get into Lin Xiaofeng's house.

Amuro Tooru stood in the living room, looking around.

"Oh my, this apartment is nice. It has a living room and two bedrooms. Even if I move in with you, it won't be a problem."

"Please don't come, I dream of killing people."

"Nobody would believe you... You think you're Cao Cao!"

"I am not Cao Cao, but the traitor Cao."

Amuro Tooru's smile faded, and he became serious.

"Your new task."

Amuro Tooru casually handed a planning document to Lin Xiaofeng.

"Amuro... Detective Agency? You want me to work for you."

"Yes. I didn't expect you to have the talent of a detective. The organization needs someone like you. I'll run a detective agency with you. On the surface, we'll be detectives, but in reality, we'll be helping the organization gather intelligence. To be honest, I'm in charge of the organization's intelligence gathering."

"Are you doing intelligence gathering?"

"Yes. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm very capable."

Amuro Tooru grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

"It's a miracle that the organization has survived until now."

Lin Xiaofeng found it hilarious that the organization had appointed a Japanese public security officer as the intelligence chief, something even Chiang Kai-shek would have to admire.

Just then, Amuro Tooru received a phone call.

"Wait a minute, I'll take this call."

Amuro Tooru was on the phone, and Lin Xiaofeng was eavesdropping.

"Amuro Tooru, are you an idiot? How could I possibly let you pass this plan!"

On the phone, a man launched into a tirade of angry curses.

"Lord Gin, is there a problem with my plan?"

"An organization needs to operate with secrecy, keep a low profile, and remain undetected... If you and that new recruit start a detective agency together, wouldn't that just put the organization in the open?"

"Gin, you may not know this, but the new member who joined the group is now a certified detective by the Metropolitan Police Department. We can use his fame to find opportunities to get close to more important figures and gather more intelligence."

Gin, on the other end of the phone, pondered for a moment.

“I’m warning you, Bourbon. If you leak any information about the organization, I’ll personally kill you and that high school detective.”

"Yes, Lord Gin... You can rest assured about my work!"

"Beep beep..."

After hanging up the phone, Amuro Tooru let out a sigh of relief.

"Who are you talking to? You're so scared you're sweating bullets. Look at you, you're such a coward."

Lin Xiaofeng said sarcastically.

Amuro Tooru sighed: "It's the organization's third-in-command, Lord Gin."

"Is he great?"

"Very impressive, but not very smart?"

"Then why are you so scared?"

"It's because Lord Gin isn't very smart that he likes to kill people indiscriminately, so you have to be careful what you say. Otherwise, you might get accused of being a spy and killed. If you see him in the future, keep your distance."

"Is that so... I think he should have considered whether he would be killed in return before he killed me."

"You're pretty arrogant, kid."

"What? You're not convinced?"

Amuro Tooru looked at Lin Xiaofeng with considerable displeasure: "I'm your boss, so watch your tone."

Lin Xiaofeng said calmly, "If it weren't for that, I would have already kicked you out."

Amuro Tooru felt he couldn't gain any advantage arguing with Lin Xiaofeng, so he gave up.

"The decision to jointly run a detective agency is a pleasant one."

"I usually have classes."

"You're a high school detective now, not an ordinary person who can skip class whenever they want. Seriously, stop making excuses!"

"Alright, Detective Amuro."

"Hehehe... With a high school detective working for me, I believe my name, Amuro Tooru, will soon be well-known in Tokyo."

Amuro (8) imagined himself as the extraordinary and revered detective, revealing a strange smile.

In the world of detectives, the most glorious thing is to become a famous detective; it is a glory more precious than anything else!

"The details are all covered in the proposal. Please read it carefully. If you have any further questions, feel free to call me anytime. That's all, I'm leaving now."

After explaining everything, Amuro Tooru left. Lin Xiaofeng suddenly realized he had forgotten to ask how Amuro Tooru knew where he lived.

16. X-ray glasses

At noon, after finishing his KFC meal, Lin Xiaofeng lay on his bed playing on his phone, not wanting to move.

I have to say, the phone the system provided is incredibly smart. It has global connectivity, unlimited battery, superb performance, and is very comfortable to use.

The system, unable to bear it any longer, issued a task.

A new incident has occurred; please resolve the haunted house incident.

Lin Xiaofeng yawned, almost forgetting that he hadn't claimed yesterday's reward yet.

System, I want to claim my reward now.

Please select your reward: stat points, skills, or items.

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a moment, then chose the props, curious about what kind of props the system would give him.

*Ding!* The host has obtained X-ray glasses. Wearing the glasses will reveal the other person's nakedness.

"So...evil!"

"But, I like it."

"interesting!"

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't wait to jump out of bed, put on his X-ray glasses, and run to the balcony to look outside.

Wearing X-ray glasses, the whole world becomes incredibly clear, and even passersby at a great distance can be seen clearly.

Not only that, it can also see through things, clearly revealing the white, phosphorescent bones and the vibrant internal organs of humans.

In Lin Xiaofeng's eyes, every living person becomes a walking mannequin.

"Ah, this... is completely different from what I imagined."

Lin Xiaofeng was speechless. He put the X-ray glasses into his system space, as he wouldn't need them for the time being.

Lin Xiaofeng didn't have any particular fetishes, like peeping at human bones and internal organs. He'd rather look at human anatomy diagrams.

Lin Xiaofeng decided that next time he receives a reward, he will honestly allocate skill points and steadily become stronger.

As evening fell, Lin Xiaofeng arrived at the front of a Western-style house in 4-chome, not far from his home.

This is the haunted house that Sonoko Suzuki mentioned when she scared Ran Mouri the day before yesterday.

The Beikacho 4-chome area is still within Tokyo. Even if it's not a prime location, it's certainly a silver-tier area. Given that the land prices aren't cheap, it's a real waste to leave such a large house sitting there unused.

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at the rust and cobwebs on the large iron gate of the mansion, then looked around to make sure no one was watching. He then immediately climbed over the wall and went inside.

As for whether this would constitute illegal trespassing on someone else's property... Lin Xiaofeng is now a member of the organization, so everything illegal is legal, which is a legal violation of the law.

Lin Xiaofeng had originally planned to enter the mansion through the window, but to his surprise, after tentatively turning the doorknob, the mansion door opened directly.

Even chain stores don't lock?
