Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

Putting aside his appearance for the moment, Luo Tian felt he needed to first win over the lawyer in front of him.

From an emotional perspective, the other party is Ran Mouri's mother, who is also a great beauty, so it's definitely a good idea to get along well with her.

From a rational perspective, Eri Kisaki, as a top lawyer, is a wealthy woman and a great beauty, so it's definitely a good idea to cultivate a good relationship with her!

Hey, rich lady, I'm starving! Time for food!

"You have such a sweet tongue. I'm starting to believe you're related to Yukiko."

No woman can resist being complimented on her youth, and Eri Kisaki is no exception.

Luo Tian's adorable, glib tongue reminded her of her best friend Yukiko, who also used to praise people with such sweet words.

After giving the little boy a few more pats on the cheek, Attorney Fei ordered an iced Americano, then took out her phone, ready to resolve Luo Tian's problem.

"Wait a minute, we'll be able to contact Aunt Yukiko soon!"

"Ok!"

Luo Tian nodded vigorously, beginning to look forward to life in the luxury villa.

……

Just then, a noisy commotion came from the next table, breaking the quiet atmosphere of the coffee shop once again.

"Oh right, this is Prince Ruo... I've arranged to meet a girl today... Women are such emotional creatures, a few sweet words and I can easily win her over! Hahahaha!"

The long-haired man held his phone, finished speaking, and then burst into laughter as if no one else was around, causing the other guests to frown and glare angrily.

[Ding! Target detected as a scumbag, let's screw him over!]

[Task posted: Scam a scumbag once, consequences are unlimited!]

"What a nasty guy!"

Even with Ran Mouri's gentle nature, her fists clenched in anger.

"If you knew that the girl he was talking about was your best friend, you would probably be even angrier."

Luo Tian muttered to himself and casually pressed the save button on his phone to record the video.

He borrowed the phone from the girl to play with.

Knowing that a case was about to unfold, he naturally wanted to be prepared and take some evidence.

It's worth mentioning that, perhaps due to the time travel, the technology in this world is not as advanced as it was in the early 20th century, when only flip phones were available.

Both the internet and smartphones have achieved full coverage.

Of course, the security cameras are still the same; they're still not there when they shouldn't be.

Luo Tian borrowed a phone under the pretext of being bored and playing on it, and while filming the evidence, he also recorded the scumbag's quotes.

I bet that rich girl, Sonoko Suzuki, will be very grateful to me!

It would be best if it could drop some gold coins!

Chapter 13 has some good stuff for you!

After a while, the noisy phone calls in the coffee shop finally stopped.

The long-haired scumbag who had been talking so confidently about how to seduce women casually got up and walked towards the restroom.

He opened, entered, and closed the door with effortless grace, all in one smooth motion, every movement a deliberate attempt to appear nonchalant.

He's obviously a scumbag.

However, the cool moment lasted only two seconds before a terrified scream came from the toilet.

Immediately following, the long-haired scumbag, in a panic, scrambled through the door and crawled out.

"Blood! There's blood in it!!!"

If this scene had happened elsewhere, it might have terrified the crowd, causing them to scatter and flee in fear of getting involved in some trouble.

Unfortunately, this is Mihua. When the customers in the coffee shop heard the long-haired scumbag shouting, they all got up to watch.

Isn't this much more interesting than drinking coffee?!

The store manager and the burly man he had been talking to rushed into the restroom together, and sure enough, there was a large amount of blood flowing out from under the door of one of the stalls.

"Call the police!"

……

Police arrived quickly, led by Inspector Megure Juzo of the First Investigative Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Having missed the chance to meet this important figure during the morning's kidnapping incident, Luo Tian was currently nestled in Attorney Fei's arms, curiously observing him.

His unchanging brown trench coat, his ever-present round hat, and his chubby figure.

Luo Tian was a little curious: could someone that big really fit into a police car?

"What's wrong, Xiao Luo? Are you interested in going inside?"

Holding the little boy, Eri Kisaki's expression turned cold again.

The way he looked around the crime scene reminded her of a certain hapless detective, and a high school detective who often abandoned his own daughter to solve cases.

"Hmm, that uncle looks really funny."

Nodding, Luo Tian answered honestly.

"Ah this..."

Eri Kisaki was completely speechless.

I've been peeking around for ages, and this is what you're looking at!

And that's why she breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to her beautiful face.

Sure enough, he's just a cute child!

"That police officer is Auntie's friend, you're not allowed to talk about him like that!"

"Okay, then I'll go apologize to that uncle!"

As Luo Tian spoke, he began to struggle, trying to break free from the lawyer's embrace.

The slight friction brought a blush to Eri's face, especially when her cheat code accidentally clicked on content that required payment, which made some strange thoughts rise in her mind.

Damn it! He's still a child! Eri, how could you think such a thing?!

For some reason, she suddenly began to reflect on herself and put Luo Tian down.

Anyway, there are so many people here, and the police are here too, nothing will happen.

On the other hand, if this continues, she's really going to start acting strangely!

……

Inside the restroom, the police have completed a preliminary investigation, and all clues point to the perpetrator not being an outsider, but rather someone from the coffee shop.

"What a troublesome thing!"

Megure scratched his head through his hat.

He already missed his younger brother Shinichi after only one day apart.

Strange, usually by this point, that guy should have popped out from some corner, right? Why hasn't he shown up yet?

Looking around, Megure tried to find the figure who would let him leave work early.

Unfortunately, he failed.

There was a familiar figure, but it wasn't the one he longed for.

"Then let's take statements from all the other staff members in the store first... Hmm?"

Just as he was about to continue according to the procedure, Inspector Megure suddenly felt someone tugging at his clothes.

Looking down over his round belly, he saw a cute little boy.

Wearing children's costumes that look like they're for an amusement park performance, with innocent smiles on their faces, they're so cute!

Although Inspector Megure has been married for many years, he and his wife have not had children for certain reasons.

Therefore, upon seeing such a cute child, I immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards him and didn't even care that he had broken into the crime scene.

"Little friend, is there anything I can help you with?"

He bent down, forced a smile, and tried to make himself look more amiable.

"Officer, I have some good stuff here, do you want to take a look?"

Waving his phone, Luo Tian asked with a smile.

He came not to apologize, but to resolve the case.

If nothing unexpected happens, this time he'll be able to trick someone and get a reward!

"Huh? What's so interesting?"

If it were one of his group of bachelors saying that, Megure would make them copy the police manual a hundred times over.

Look at this! What kind of outrageous and lewd words are these?!

But the child in front of him was just an innocent little boy, and he didn't think about anything in a crooked way.

That's all!

Luo Tian opened the photo album and started showing off the photos and videos he had just taken.

Not wanting to upset the little boy, Megure pretended to be interested and leaned closer to take a look, but gradually, his gaze sharpened.

This is amazing! This is definitely amazing!

They even included photos of everyone who had entered or exited the restroom during the period leading up to the incident.

There were four people in total. The first was a college student who went in alone and came out immediately. The second person to go in was the deceased. The third was a strong man. The fourth was the long-haired scumbag who discovered the body.

The solution process is so clear: four options, eliminating one incorrect option and one invalid option.

If I can't find the murderer, I might as well quit my job!

"Hey bro, could you send me a copy of this video?"

With a tone of discussion, Megure looked at Luo Tian expectantly, and habitually added his usual form of address.

"No problem at all!"

Through a face-to-face quick transfer, Inspector Megure quickly received the video, along with several photos.

"Oops, I ordered the wrong thing."

Luo Tian stuck out his tongue as if embarrassed, secretly glancing at Megure.

I've given him such obvious hints, surely he hasn't noticed yet?

"This, this is!"

Megure was also stunned for a moment, then held the phone up to his face and stared wide-eyed at the two photos on it.

"So you're Mori's son!"

As it turned out, Luo Tian had overestimated his opponent.

Despite such a direct and intimate hint, Inspector Megure failed to notice the crucial clue and instead became preoccupied with something trivial.

That's a photo of Luo Tian and his daughter Ran Mouri; the three of them look very harmonious.

No wonder Megure was surprised; he had no idea that his old friend of many years had had a second child.

"no!"

Luo Tian almost lost control of his facial expression.

Chapter 14: They've practically fed me, but I still won't eat!

Inside the restroom, the burly man who liked to chat with the manager was invited in.

"Officer, is there anything else I can help you with?"

He was completely unfazed, believing he had done everything perfectly.

When he saw a group of police officers glaring at him, seemingly ready to charge at any moment, he was stunned.

It seems different from what's written in the script!
