Ke Xue: The Yellow-haired Detective

"Oh... Yukiko-sama is sleepy in the meantime, so I will send Yukiko-sama to sleep in the hotel."

"What... why don't you just send Yukiko-sama home, instead of sending Yukiko-sama to the hotel."

“The hotel is close, there are places everywhere.”

Conan didn't believe Lin Xiaofan's serious answer and couldn't fault it.

Conan had no choice but to ask directly: "Did you take advantage of Sister Yukiko's weakness?"

"Take advantage of the situation." Lin Xiaofan chuckled, "Conan, don't you suspect that I took Yukiko's sister to the hotel while Mr. Kudo was seriously injured and unconscious?"

"Have you done it?" Conan was furious.

"Whatever you think? You have already suspected me now. Even if I deny it, you may not believe it." Lin Xiaofan directly chose not to answer. Anyway, Conan could only speculate. It was impossible for Conan to guess that Lin Xiaofan had already tricked Yukiko. Countless times, it got to the point where Yukiko wanted to vomit.

"Ahhh...Lin Xiaofan, I knew you wouldn't admit it."

So Conan took out the evidence he found in the ward last night, a handkerchief stained with dried water.

"Lin Xiaofan, this is the water stain I found in Mr. Kudo's ward. I collected samples."

"What is this?" Lin Xiaofan asked.

"Smell..." Conan handed the handkerchief to Lin Xiaofan.

Lin Xiaofan went over and smelled it, and it turned out to be water stains left by the union of a man and a woman.

"How could there be such a thing?" Lin Xiaofan was confused. He and Yukiko had clearly cleaned up the ward seriously last night.Could it be... a hundred secrets and one sparseness?

"This is something left by the union of men and women. Apart from Mr. Kudo, there are only you and sister Yukiko in Mr. Kudo's ward. Do you still want to quibble?"

Lin Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Conan, are you saying that I gave Yukiko's sister to Cao in the ward in front of Mr. Kudo?"

Conan was stunned for a moment. He didn't want to admit this kind of thing anyway, but with the evidence before him, he had to think that way.

"Do you have any?"

"Conan, you have to figure it out! I saved Mr. Kudo. If it weren't for me, Mr. Kudo would be dead. Do you think I would do such a thing?"

Lin Xiaofan asked Conan heart-wrenchingly.

Conan was silent. He also felt that Lin Xiaofan was not that kind of person, but the evidence was in front of him.

"But what about the things I found in the ward?"

"I do not know."

Lin Xiaofan spread his hands and stopped talking to Conan, letting Conan think by himself.

Yukiko had to take care of Kudo Yusaku, so she couldn't come to the office or cook.

Lin Xiaofan made instant noodles for himself and ignored Conan.

As for whether Conan discovered his love with Yukiko, it didn't matter at all to him. He didn't take Conan seriously at all. From the beginning to the present, Conan was just his tool.

……

The French Pavilion in the Southern Alps of Nagano Prefecture was the villa of the French ambassador to Japan during the Taisho era.Now, this hotel adopts a membership system, so ordinary people cannot stay.

Arriving at the destination, Masumi Takamori was already waiting for Suzuki Sonoko.

"Yuanzi, I'm so happy that you are really willing to support me."

Masumi Takamori greeted with a smile.

"Hehe... I brought other friends here, it doesn't matter."

"of course."

Takamori Masumi said.

Gao Mori Masumi looked at Xiaolan and Lin Xiaofan on the side and said enthusiastically: "I am Gao Mori Masumi. Nice to meet you."

Xiaolan smiled and said: "I am Mao Lilan, please give me your advice."

Lin Xiaofan said: "I am Lin Xiaofan, please give me your advice."

Takamori Masumi said: "I'm sorry, but I still need you to register for accommodation at Francis Hotel."

Lin Xiaofan walked to the front desk and asked strangely: "Huh? Is there no one at the front desk here?"

Masumi Takamori’s colleague and Junze brand’s pattern maker Kiriyama Sayoko reminded: “It’s not over there. That’s the front desk of the Rokujo brand, and Junze is over here.”

Lin Xiaofan responded and went to the front desk of Junze brand to check in.

At this time, a woman with a mushroom head and toad eyes came over and reminded Takamori Masumi: "The stage rehearsal has begun."

The woman's name is Tormaru Naoko, 28 years old, and is the chief designer of women's clothing of Junze brand.

Takamori Masumi said in embarrassment: "But, my friend is visiting..."

Naoko Tormaru said: "You should know how important this competition is..."

A man with a middle parting in a suit and tie smoothed things over and said, "Ms. Nao, don't be so excited. It's also important to receive Yoshimi's friends."

The man's name is Zenji Kagaya. He is 32 years old and is the chief menswear designer of the Junze brand.

"Mr. Kadani, you're here too." Masumi Takamori said sheepishly.

"Your friends, let me escort them to the room. You go quickly." Kadani Zenji said enthusiastically.

"Mr. Kadani, please." Takamori Masumi waved to Sonoko, "Sonoko, I'll excuse you for a moment."

"Okay, we can do it ourselves." Yuanzi said with a smile.

Kadani Zenji said: "I'm so sorry. Everyone is very busy today. Mainly because tomorrow is the day of the wedding dress selection. The two major forces in the Japanese clothing industry. Kimizawa and Rokujo are about to have a duel."

Suzuki Sonoko said: "No wonder Bonmei specially invited me over. I'm so looking forward to it!"

Kadani Zenji said: "Yes! The son of the big trading company Mitomo Co., Ltd. is scheduled to get married next year. They are considering whether the bride's dress should be Kimizawa or Rokujo. So, a costume show is held here to prepare a final decision."

Having said this, the front desk clerk came over and said, "Mr. Lin, Miss Suzuki, and Miss Mori, your rooms have been processed. Here is the key to your room."

The front desk gave Lin Xiaofan the key, which had a tag hanging on it that read Room 501.

Under the leadership of Kadani Zenji, a group of people came to the hall.

Suzuki Sonoko said: "If Mr. Kadani is very busy, there is no need to entertain us."

Zenji Kadani said: "Since this is a bridal dress competition, I, the designer of the men's wear department, am very free. The people in the women's wear department are the ones who work hard for the duel."

Listening to Kagetani Zenji's introduction, Mao Lilan suddenly stopped and said in surprise: "Sonoko, look, that is Kimizawa Yurie himself."

Suzuki Sonoko said: "Ah...it turns out you know Xiaolan too. She is indeed a big celebrity in the Japanese fashion industry."

As I was walking, I happened to bump into Naoko Toriyama and a man whispering.

The man noticed someone coming, stopped talking, and took the initiative to say hello to everyone.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Suzuki? Junze is so proud that he invited Miss Suzuki!"

A radiant man wearing a white suit, his hair full of wax, came in front of everyone.

"Ah? You are...the president of Rokujo Brand, Rokujo Mitsuhiko?"

Suzuki Sonoko narrowed her eyes and asked.

"Yes. Miss Suzuki, I still remember the last time I saw you at the Fashion Fair."

Rokujo Mitsuhiko said politely.

It has to be said that as the daughter of a large chaebol, Suzuki Sonoko has face and is popular wherever she goes.

Kimizawa Yurie, the president of Kimizawa Famous Brand, walked over, looked at Mitsuhiko Rokujo with a stern look, and said: "President Rokujo, are you still trying to poach my Naoko? You really don't give me any face. When Do this kind of thing in front of me."

Rokujo Mitsuhiko replied awkwardly: "We were just chatting."

Kimizawa Yurie looked at Tormaru Naoko and said, "Naoko, don't be fooled by Rokujo Mitsuhiko's sweet words, come with me."

Toriyama Naoko said tremblingly: "Yes, President."

After Kimizawa Yurie and Toriyama Naoko left, a fashionably dressed young woman with sleek black hair walked over wearing a pair of black high-heeled sandals and her arms crossed.

The young woman is not only a well-known actress, but also a model signed by six famous brands.The young woman's name is Hoshino Terumi, 23 years old.Before, Terumi Hoshino was the idol of Earth Girls, but after Earth Girls disbanded, Terumi Hoshino became an actress and model.

She said to Mitsuhiko Rokujo: "She is just a designer who is called around by Kimize. Is it necessary to put so much effort into poaching her?"

Rokujo Mitsuhiko said: "I don't really want that woman. As long as she betrays Junze, I will achieve my goal. Then, she will have no use value."

Hoshino Terumi was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Rokujo Mitsuhiko said: "Hoshino, you don't need to know so much. As long as Naoko is not around, Kimize will be easy to deal with."

Hoshino Terumi glanced at Lin Xiaofan, then followed Mitsuhiko Rokujo and left.

Lin Xiaofan asked: "Mr. Kadani, what do Rokujo Mitsuhiko's words mean?"

Kadani said: "Indeed, if Naoko leaves Kimizawa, it will be very troublesome for us. As for the reason, I'm sorry, it is a business secret."

Kadani looked at his watch. It was almost time to arrive at the hotel.So, the group came to the restaurant again.

While dining in the restaurant, an episode occurred. Xiaolan wanted to drink juice, but took the wrong glass.

The bartender told Xiaolan, "Just tell the waiter what kind of drink you want to drink."

Then, the bartender greeted Naoko enthusiastically: "Oh, it's Naoko. I'm so happy to meet you."

Lin Xiaofan asked: "Mr. Kadani, what is the relationship between Naoko and the bartender?"

Mr. Kadani replied: "The bartender's name is Gyuzo Toru, and he is Naoko's boyfriend."

When Naoko heard this, she quickly defended herself: "Yumi is just my elementary school classmate!"

Yumuri said to Naoko: "By the way, Naoko, which wine will be used for today's banquet?"

Naoko smiled and said, "Just use the most expensive wine."

Gong Ni smiled and went to prepare.

At this time, Kiriyama Sayoko ran over holding a box and said to Naoko, "Naoko, I received a gift box wrapped with a black ribbon."

Naoko frowned and said, "It's not a funeral. Why use a black ribbon? Sayoko, please open it and take a look?"

"This is……"

Sayoko opened the box and found a white wedding dress inside with a silver coin on it.

Lin Xiaofan stepped forward and asked, "Is this the wedding dress designed by Junze?"

Sayoko said: "This is not what we designed."

Naoko said: "What a terrible design. Who sent it to me? It's so tasteless?"

Lin Xiaofan reached out and picked up the silver coin from the wedding dress and judged: "This is... a French silver coin. Why is there such a thing?"

There was no such case in the original plot.Therefore, Lin Xiaofan did not realize that this French silver coin was a symbol of the murderer's malice.It is the "funeral silver coin" that invites death...

75. Chatting up Hoshino Terumi

Next, the guests took their seats one after another.

The emcee of the restaurant picked up the microphone and said: "Welcome everyone to the giant wedding dress competition held here by Junze and Rokujo. Tonight is the welcome reception. First of all, please toast with wine."

The bartender Gongge said: "The wine you are drinking tonight is produced in Bugany, France. Only five kilograms of this wine are produced every year. It is a noble and famous wine."

The master of ceremonies continued: "Then, let's ask President Kimizawa Yurie to lead us all in a toast."

Junze Yurie: "I wish all guests, as well as the two famous brands Rokujo and Junze, prosperous development in the future..."

Rokujo Mitsuhiko drank the red wine in one gulp. He saw that Naoko beside him did not drink the wine.

Rokujo Mitsuhiko asked: "Naoko, don't you dare drink wine?"

Naoko said: "No, ordinary wine is fine. Wine and brandy, I can't do it..."

Rokujo Mitsuhiko said: "I'll pour you a beer. However, this kind of wine is very expensive. It would be a shame not to drink it. Haha, I drank it for you..."

Naoko said: "Whatever."

Then, Rokujo Mitsuhiko drank the wine from Naoko's glass, and a terrible scene happened.

Just as Rokujo Mitsuhiko drank it, his pupils instantly lost focus.

With a "bang" sound, Rokujo Mitsuhiko fell to the ground and twitched, vomiting foam and blood from his mouth.

"Mr. Rokujo?"
