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

"Ah, Ms. Suzuki, did you sleep well last night?"

“Very good, thank you, President Tokiwa.”

Sonoko Suzuki and President Tokiwa exchanged pleasantries.

"President Tokiwa, congratulations!" Lin Xiaofeng picked up the juice next to him, raised it to Tokiwa Mio, and congratulated her.

"Thank you, Detective Hayashi," Mio Tokiwa replied with a smile.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Tokiwa Mio's large breasts, which were barely covered by her dress, and licked his lips. They were really big.

Where are you looking?

Xiao Lan blocked Lin Xiaofeng's view, forbidding him from watching the ball. Her own ball was not small either, and Lin Xiaofeng could just look at his own ball.

Lin Xiaofeng chuckled and went with Xiaolan to the venue to enjoy the food.

As for Sonoko Suzuki, she is a representative of the Suzuki Group and also has to attend social events.

After a while, Mio Tokiwa slowly rose from the stage with a microphone in her hand.

"Thank you all very much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend the opening ceremony of the Tokiwa Group's twin towers today."

"I'd like to start with a little entertainment; please play a game."

"This game is named after my late father, Tokiwa Kinsei."

"To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Tokiwa Group in '057', I want to play a game of guessing what time it takes to last 30 seconds."

"As a prize, the person who guesses perfectly, or the person who guesses closest without any error, can drive this red luxury car in front of you home."

"Oh—" Many people in the hall started to make noise.

"However, if two people guess correctly, they will decide the winner by playing rock-paper-scissors. The loser will have to make do and ride this off-road mountain bike with a helmet on home."

Many people laughed out loud at Tokiwa Mio's humor.

The kids in the Junior Detective League immediately got excited and started thinking about whether to choose the off-road mountain bike or the luxury convertible.

"How many servings of eel rice should I buy next?" Genta Kojima started counting on his fingers with his hands clasped together.

"Idiot, it's a luxury convertible! Isn't that better than eel rice?" Mitsuhiko said to Genta with disdain.

“But you can’t eat cars.” Genta looked aggrieved. “Besides, we can’t drive, so what would we do with such a thing? We might as well exchange it for money to buy eel rice.”

“But we have Professor Agasa!” Mitsuhiko looked at Genta with a ‘why are you so stupid’ expression. “From now on, when we go camping, we can ride in that luxury convertible instead of squeezing into Professor Agasa’s Beetle.”

"Don't you think it would be impressive to go camping like this?"

“But I still want to eat eel rice.” Genta blinked and then answered.

Ayumi, who hadn't participated in the argument, looked around, trying to find Conan.

Without Conan by her side, she couldn't guarantee that her time predictions would be accurate enough to win the prize.

“Friends who wish to participate, please hand in your watches. We will then give you a gem of equal value to each watch,” Tokiwa Mio continued.

Lin Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, looking at Tokiwa Mio with some surprise.

This Tokiwa Group, despite having just completed the construction of its twin skyscrapers, still seems to have an unusually abundant amount of funds.

Lin Xiaofeng naturally didn't participate in the competition; he didn't care about the cost.

Since Conan wasn't there, the Detective Boys naturally couldn't win the prize, and Kogoro Mouri got the lucky break, winning the final reward: a luxury convertible.

The lights in the lobby were turned off.

The announcer introduced the upcoming plans.

Tokiwa Mio's secretary, Ms. Sawaguchi, walked past Lin Xiaofeng with Kisaragi Mine.

Lin Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, sized up Ruyue Fengshui's figure, and then patted Yuanzi's shoulder beside him.

"Xiaofeng, what do you mean by staring at Tokiwa Mio?" Xiaolan asked, quite annoyed.

Ran wore a beautiful blue dress to the opening ceremony. But Lin Xiaofeng didn't appreciate her beauty; he kept staring at Tokiwa Mio, which was really inappropriate.

"Ran, you've misunderstood, President Tokiwa. There's danger! I have to go save her!"

"How is this going?"

Xiao Lan followed Lin Xiaofeng's gaze and saw Ruyue Fengshui's figure about to disappear into the darkness.

"Secretary Zeguchi, is there some kind of event going on here?" Lin Xiaofeng quickened his pace and greeted Secretary Zeguchi after catching up.

"Ah, it's Detective Hayashi! Actually, next up is an exhibition of the painting that Ms. Kisaragi gave to the president, and the president will take this opportunity to give an opening speech," Secretary Sawaguchi replied with a smile.

"Oh? Would you mind if I came along to take a look?"

"Huh? No problem, no problem..." Secretary Sawaguchi paused for a moment, then nodded without refusing.

"Oh my, Detective Lin, what brings you here too?" Tokiwa Mio was taken aback when she saw Lin Xiaofeng following behind the three of them.

"Well, I just came to join in the fun. President Tokiwa shouldn't kick me out, right?" Lin Xiaofeng asked Tokiwa Mio with a smile.

"When the wife (no, the detective) wants to talk about something that's interesting, should she also say something similar?"

As a high school detective, Lin Xiaofeng is naturally highly respected in the detective world. Even a group president like Tokiwa Mio is no exception and respects detectives very much.

"No need, I'll just stand here and be your bodyguard." Lin Xiaofeng shook his head and politely declined Tokiwa Mio's offer.

"Be my bodyguard?" Tokiwa Mio suddenly remembered the murder that happened that morning and realized Lin Xiaofeng's purpose. "Even if someone wanted to harm me, they wouldn't choose this time to do it."

Tokiwa Mio felt that Lin Xiaofeng was deliberately trying to please her; during the opening ceremony, Lin Xiaofeng had been stealing glances at her quite a bit.

Standing behind the pitch-black curtain, the host's announcements were almost ready to begin.

Lin Xiaofeng stroked his chin, pondering whether to add Kogoro Mouri's junior to his harem. The age difference was so great, it seemed like a very difficult task.

Suddenly, the sound of beads scattering on the ground rang out.

Lin Xiaofeng realized that the murderer had decided to commit the crime and immediately rushed over. Using the dim light flickering at Tokiwa Mio's feet, he reached out and grabbed the hands of Kisaragi Mine, who was still holding another necklace hooked with piano string, which was still attached to Tokiwa Mio's neck.

"Miss Zeguchi! Pull back the curtain immediately! Then turn on the lights!" Lin Xiaofeng shouted loudly.

"Huh?" Tokiwa Mio hadn't recovered from the sudden situation.

But Secretary Zekou was so startled by Lin Xiaofeng's sudden shout that he complied.

"Wow—"

As the curtain was pulled back, the chaotic scene unfolded on stage, leaving the audience bewildered.

"Detective Hayashi, what exactly is this..." Tokiwa Mio, her face flushed with anger, turned around and was startled by what she saw.

"Kisaragi... teacher?"

The teacher's hands were being held, with one hand resting on the back of her neck.

It's obvious that the necklace suddenly falling apart was the work of this hand.

But in his other hand, there was a perfectly intact necklace.

It was this necklace that caused Tokiwa Mio to lose control of her emotions.

Because above, there's a piano string hooked onto the lintel of the painting behind it; once the painting is raised, the necklace hooked onto the piano string will also rise.

If Tokiwa Mio's guess is correct, the necklace caught on the piano string should be the spare item that the teacher plans to wear around her neck next.

He intended to kill himself!

"Why..." Tokiwa Mio murmured, staring in astonishment at Kisaragi Mine.

"Tsk... We've been exposed." Ruyue Fengshui probably knew he was doomed. After all, the crime scene was right here, and it had been exposed to so many people. No matter how much he tried to deny it, it was useless now.

Upon seeing this, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri immediately rushed onto the stage and came to Tokiwa Mio's side.

"What exactly is going on?" Kogoro Mouri asked Lin Xiaofeng, looking completely bewildered.

"Brother Lin, have you made any discoveries?" Inspector Megure asked with delight.

"Having seen this, don't you understand yet?" Lin Xiaofeng's tone was somewhat amused and exasperated. Even if it was to highlight the detective's prowess, the others were exaggerating his intelligence far too much.

"Kisaragi Minezui plans to put the necklace on Tokiwa's neck, which is connected to the painting by piano wire, on his left hand, so that he can kill her when he raises the painting."

The audience below the stage erupted in uproar. Ruyue Fengshui was too insane! To commit such a violent act in front of so many guests—how terrifying!

"Teacher Kisaragi, why?" Tokiwa Mio asked Kisaragi Mine, her emotions somewhat out of control.

"Why? How dare you ask why!" A ferocious look appeared on Kisaragi Mine's face as she pointed at Tokiwa Mio and cursed, "It's all because of you, you stinking woman, that this skyscraper was built without my permission!"

"This damn skyscraper has cleaved my perfect Mount Fuji in two!" Kisaragi Mine's eyes were filled with malice.

"Huh?" Tokiwa Mio seemed to understand something and turned to look at the windows on both sides of the stage.

On one side is Mount Fuji. On the other side is the mountain that Kisaragi Hōsui bought.

"Just because the twin towers I oversaw the construction of prevented you from painting Mount Fuji in your mountaintop studio, you're going to kill me?" Tokiwa Mio covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at Kisaragi Mine.

“…Ah, I understood a long time ago. It’s impossible for you to understand 1.4.” Ruyue Fengshui gave up explaining why he was so agitated and lowered his head in dejection.

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Ruyue Fengshui and said, "A psychopath who kills over something like this, do you expect anyone to understand you? Confess honestly, Ruyue Fengshui. You killed Councilor Oki, didn't you?"

Ruyue Fengshui said disdainfully, "I did kill them. I originally planned to kill everyone involved in the construction of the Twin Towers, what a pity..."

When Inspector Megure heard Kisaragi Minezu confess to being the murderer, what else could he say? He immediately ordered his men to arrest Kisaragi Minezu and bring him to justice.

Lin Xiaofeng cleverly rescued Tokiwa Mio and pointed out that Kisaragi Mine was the murderer of Congressman Ōki. This scene was broadcast live and gained him countless fans once again.

Without a doubt, her biggest fan is Mio Tokiwa.

If Lin Xiaofeng hadn't saved her, Tokiwa Mio would have been reincarnated again.

"Detective Lin, I misunderstood you. It turns out you've been protecting me all along. I'm so grateful to you."

Tokiwa Mio gave Lin Xiaofeng a big hug. At the same time, she glanced at Mouri Kogoro with disappointment. Both were detectives, but the difference was too great. Lin Xiaofeng was witty and brave, while Mouri Kogoro was a complete idiot; the contrast was too obvious.

Upon being embraced by Tokiwa Mio, Lin Xiaofeng expressed his gratitude: "What a great pair!"

172. Tokiwa Eisaku wants Lin Xiaofeng to be his son-in-law.

While Conan was still foolishly searching for evidence to investigate who killed Congressman Oki, Lin Xiaofeng solved the case effortlessly. He even won the favor of Kogoro Mouri's junior, Tokiwa Mio, the female president of the Tokiwa Group.

Conan was really devastated by Lin Xiaofeng. Everything he had was taken away by Lin Xiaofeng. It was so tragic.

After the opening ceremony, Lin Xiaofeng was about to go back with Xiaolan and Yuanzi in the butler's car when they were stopped by a bald old man.

"Detective Lin, please wait."

"You are……"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the bald old man in front of him, who looked very evil, with a puzzled expression.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Professor Tokiwa Eisaku of Imperial University and the father of Tokiwa Mio. You saved my daughter's life, so please allow me to express my gratitude."

Lin Xiaofeng told Xiaolan and Yuanzi to go back first, and the two girls didn't think much of it and went back first.

Tokiwa Eisaku led Lin Xiaofeng, who was in 17, to a reception room in the Twin Towers.

The person responsible for serving tea and water to the two of them was Tokiwa Mio.

After closing the door, Tokiwa Eiseku first exchanged pleasantries with Lin Xiaofeng, expressing his gratitude for Lin Xiaofeng saving his daughter.

Lin Xiaofeng humbly accepted Tokiwa Eisaku's gratitude.

Tokiwa Eiseku then revealed the purpose of his invitation to Lin Xiaofeng to speak, which was certainly not just to express his gratitude to Lin Xiaofeng for saving his daughter.

"Detective Lin, have I actually been observing you all along?"

"Oh? Professor Tokiwa, you're also interested in detective work?"

"No. I'm only talking about you. Your performance in the organization has been outstanding, and I've been watching closely. Your upcoming tasks will determine whether I can be elected as a member of parliament, and I will have to rely on you a lot."

Tokiwa Eisaku reached out and gently patted Lin Xiaofeng's shoulder.

Tokiwa Mio, who was serving tea and water to the side, also looked surprised.

"Dad, did you already know Detective Lin?"

“Mei=Xu, I have been working with a long-standing organization to develop drugs. Martial arts detective is also a member of that organization.”

Tokiwa Mio's eyes lit up: "It seems that Detective Hayashi and I are truly destined for each other. Isn't that right, Detective Hayashi?"

Tokiwa Mio winked at Lin Xiaofeng, electrifying him.

In the three-dimensional world, a woman of Tokiwa Mio's age is past her prime. But in the two-dimensional world, this age is considered the most beautiful.

“Detective Lin, I have a feeling you will succeed in your mission. Just like my daughter, who should have died, was saved by you.”
