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

Hearing the conversation between the three, Kazuha Toyama was also quite embarrassed. However, she seemed to sense that not only did Yukiko like Lin Xiaofeng and have an affair with him, but Aunt Jinghua's attitude towards Lin Xiaofeng was also very ambiguous.

……

After the time it takes to land a punch, Fukuyama Rokuro carried Ebihara Toshimi's body down.

Kimie Shimabukuro and Naoko Kuroe followed behind, but they didn't see Heiji Hattori or Conan.

A man rushed forward and embraced Ebihara Toshimi's body, weeping bitterly. From the whispers of the people around him, it was clear that he was Ebihara Toshimi's father.

Seeing this, Toyama Kazuha sighed softly, "Someone has really died. Why do we always run into these kinds of things?"

Following Heiji Hattori, Kazuha Toyama has encountered many such incidents. If she could, she would rather not encounter such incidents, as no one likes to frequently encounter murder cases.

Shortly after, police officers from the island's local police station arrived, cordoned off the area, and notified the Tokyo police. However, the sea was too rough, and the Tokyo police were unable to arrive immediately.

On the other side, Heiji Hattori, carrying a swimming ring, walked back with Conan, completely satisfied.

"How's the investigation going, you two?" Lin Xiaofeng asked, stepping forward to inquire.

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

When the case was mentioned, Hattori Heiji's expression became serious: "Ms. Ebihara was suspected of being strangled and having her neck compressed by a rope. One end of the rope was tied around her neck, and the other end was tied to a wooden stake on the riverbank where ropes were pulled up to prevent people from falling into the water."

"Miss Naoko Kuroe guessed that Miss Sumi went into that dark forest to look for the mermaid's grave," Conan added.

“Besides,” Conan looked at Rokuro Fukuyama standing with Kimie Shimabukuro, “Mr. Rokuro Fukuyama was the fiancé of the deceased, Ms. Kotoko, but he didn’t seem to like her. He said it was an arranged marriage by his parents, and that he and his father were long dead. If he didn’t want to marry Ms. Kotoko, and she was still bothering him, he might have killed her… uh…”

. .. ...

At that moment, Toyama and Kazuha also walked towards the three of them.

Kazuha Toyama pointed at the swimming ring in Heiji Hattori's hand and asked in a puzzled tone, "Heiji, what are you doing holding that swimming ring? You're not planning to swim in the waterfall, are you?"

"I'm not that stupid," Hattori Heiji yelled fiercely at Toyama Kazuha. "It was Conan and me who found the swimming ring. It was hanging in the middle of the river connecting the waterfall and the sea."

Conan chimed in, "We asked the people on the island before, and they hadn't seen this swimming ring before."

"So what?" Toyama Kazuha continued to ask.

“If someone strangled Miss Sumi on the waterfall, put a rope around her neck, and floated her on a swimming ring, then anyone could easily hang her from the waterfall,” Hattori Heiji said, bowing his head and turning his hat to the front, his gaze serious and sharp. “In other words, it’s possible that the murderer is either male or female! And if the sea is too windy to sail, then the murderer would be trapped on this island, somewhere on this island right now!”

"How scary!" Startled, Toyama Kazuha instinctively grabbed Lin Xiaofeng's arm.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Lin Xiaofeng gently patted Yuanshan Heye's fragrant shoulder to reassure her.

Besides Toyama and Ye, there was another person who was startled.

Shimabukuro Kimie, who had been eavesdropping nearby, broke out in a cold sweat: "These detectives, lured here by Kadowaki Saori, are really amazing. My trick was completely seen through."

241. Heiji got a beating from his mother.

Heiji Hattori didn't care that Kazuha Toyama was so frightened that she hugged Lin Xiaofeng; he knew that Lin Xiaofeng was innocent.

Hattori Heiji turned to Lin Xiaofeng and whispered, "Lin-kun, I remember that Saori-san's Dugong Arrow was also lost, right?"

Lin Xiaofeng understood: "You suspect Mr. Kadowaki Benzo?"

“It’s not impossible that he killed someone to get the Dugong Arrow and sell it to others for wealth, because Miss Sumi should have drawn the Dugong Arrow before, but her number was taken by someone…” Hattori Heiji stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Conan was also lost in thought; he, like Heiji Hattori, had too many questions in his mind.

The short-haired woman, Naoko Kuroe, suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "You'd better keep an eye on Saori's alcoholic father..."

After saying that, he left immediately.

“Hey, Nao, one two three!” Rokuro Fukuyama shouted, “Be careful on your way home!”

"I understand. Anyway, I have the Dugong Arrow to protect me," Naoko Kuroe said, leaving without looking back. "I'll be fine!"

Meanwhile, Yukiko and Shizuka were not idle either. They asked Shimabukuro Kimie if she could introduce them to the longevity granny and ask her the secret of longevity.

The two women were twice the age of Lin Xiaofeng and were afraid of getting old and not being pretty, and being disliked by Lin Xiaofeng. They hoped to gain eternal beauty.

To dispel Lin Xiaofeng and Toyama Heiji's suspicions, Shimabukuro Kimie agreed.

"Yes, that's fine. You can bring your companions along."

So, the group followed Shimabukuro Kimie to the old woman's residence.

Upon arriving at the house in the backyard of the shrine, Shimabukuro Kimie said that the old woman was very tired today, and they would go and ask her to come out, while the group waited inside.

Lin Xiaofeng already knew that the old woman was played by Shimabukuro Kimie, so he didn't care. The three girls' eyes were full of anticipation, while Conan and Hattori Heiji were curious with a hint of doubt.

Click...

The door behind me was pulled open, and a short, thinning-haired, wrinkled old woman stood in the doorway. She looked gloomy, and her face was distorted by wrinkles, making her look like a normal person.

The old woman slowly said, "I heard you wanted to see me?"

Everyone was startled, but quickly calmed down.

Ikeba Shizuka immediately asked, "Grandma Longevity, how can one stay young forever? Also, is there really any mermaid meat?"

The old woman replied in a sinister tone, "Look at my face. If I knew how to stay young forever, would I look so old? I've never eaten mermaid flesh, so I don't know if it exists."

Upon hearing what the old woman said, Hattori Heiji clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.

"Mom, are you serious? You really believe in this kind of ridiculous legend? It's hilarious."

Ikenami Shizuka blushed and pulled out her folding fan to tap Hattori Heiji on the forehead.

"Clang." Hattori Heiji was knocked so hard he tumbled over.

"Ouch." Hattori Heiji clutched his head, looking aggrieved. "Mom, I'm serious, you're so stupid to believe such a legend."

"Say it again!" Ikenami Shizuka pointed at Hattori Heiji with her folding fan.

Hattori Heiji immediately felt weak and could only shut up resentfully, thinking that it would be better if his mother really stayed in Tokyo and didn't go back.

Yukiko wasn't disappointed at all. She had a lot of confidence in Lin Xiaofeng. As long as Lin Xiaofeng kept giving her strong stimulation and injecting her with rich nutrients, she would be able to maintain her beauty and even become younger.

“Aunt Jinghua, you are already very beautiful. There’s no need to pursue eternal youth,” Yuanshan Heye comforted Chibo Jinghua.

Chi Bo Jinghua glanced at Lin Xiaofeng with a wistful look. If it weren't for Lin Xiaofeng, she would never have had the worry of getting old.

Lin Xiaofeng gently stroked Chi Bo Jinghua's beautiful oval face and said tenderly, "Sister Jinghua, believe me, you will always be so beautiful!"

"Hmph! You know how to talk." Ikeba Shizuka's mood improved.

"Kazuha, the Dugong Arrow is for you. I don't need it anymore." With that, Shizuka Ikenami handed the Dugong Arrow to Kazuha Toyama.

"Really?" Toyama Kazuha really wanted it, her eyes shining.

“Yes.” Ikeba Shizuka handed the Dugong Arrow to Toyama Kazuha.

Hattori Niheiji, who was crying nearby, sighed: "Lin-Xiaofeng is so good at talking about things~ she's so good at talking to women, Shinzo has a skill level of 4 points and a spirit point of delusion."

As a high school detective, Hattori Heiji has focused all his skill points on detective work. He has neither the mood nor the time to please women, and women are dispensable to him. ...Women are not even as cute as Conan, and Hattori Heiji would rather be with Conan.

Conan had already guessed that Hattori Heiji's mother, like his own, had already succumbed to temptation. Perhaps, like his mother, she was sweating profusely and trembling with desire from Lin Xiaofeng's charms. He felt a sense of shared suffering with Hattori Heiji and considered him a confidant.

Then, Conan asked the elderly woman, who was almost as tall as him, "Excuse me... Grandma, how did you decide to draw the number for the Dugong's Arrow?"

"I just made the decision casually," the old woman said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Huh?" Conan was confused.

The longevity lady suddenly smiled and said, "Sometimes I also use the numbers I won in the horse racing lottery."

Conan: "..."

"If that's the case, then why only three arrows are given out a year?" Toyama Kazuha asked. She also wanted to draw the Dugong Arrow, but unfortunately she didn't succeed. Fortunately, Aunt Jinghua gave her the Dugong Arrow. "Wouldn't it be better to give out more?"

"This won't do!" The old woman reached out and grabbed a strand of her snow-white hair to examine it. "I only have a limited amount of hair left to tie to the dugong arrows, and I don't have much left..."

Suddenly, Kimie Shimabukuro's voice came from outside the door: "Grandma, I've already prepared your bath water!"

The so-called noise outside the door was actually made by the old woman, but only Lin Xiaofeng noticed it; everyone else was kept in the dark. Shimabukuro Kimie's Disguise 1.4 technique was in no way inferior to that of the Kuroba family.

“I’m sorry,” the old woman turned to leave, “if you don’t have anything important to do, I’m going to take a bath and go to bed.”

"Wait, wait a minute," Conan said hastily, "I have another question..."

“That girl over there…” The old woman completely ignored Conan, turning to look at Kazuha Toyama, “the one with the ponytail…”

"Huh?" Toyama Kazuha pointed to herself in confusion. "Me?"

"The Forbidden Arrow was originally meant to slay demons and monsters. If it leaves your side, demons will begin to build their nests, men will return to dust, becoming heartless, hungry ghosts, and women will return to the water, becoming speechless mermaids," the Old Woman of Longevity said softly, turning and walking towards the corner at the end of the corridor. "So you must never let the Dugong Arrow leave your side."

242. Extra Large on the Left, Extra Large on the Right

Heiji Hattori and Conan were peering through the doorway.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but say, "A hoarse-voiced, pale-faced old woman who looks like she could die at any moment..."

"He doesn't really look like someone who possesses an immortal body..." Conan chimed in.

Heiji Hattori and Conan wanted to peek at the old woman taking a bath, but she turned around and glared at them, scaring them away.

"Lin-kun, you must be more restrained," Toyama Kazuha whispered, "You already have such wonderful girlfriends as Sonoko and Ran, and such a beautiful woman as Aunt Yukiko, why do you even want to get involved with Aunt Shizuka?"

"Huh? Miss Toyama, how did you know?"

"A woman's intuition."

"Your intuition is very accurate. I don't mind having one more of you."

"Lin Jun, you're so annoying!"

Kazuha Toyama blushed.

Then came 17, followed by the abyssal gazes of Yukiko and Shizuka. Lin Xiaofeng chuckled and got up from the tatami mat.

"We should probably take our leave now. We've bothered you for so long."

No one else objected, and they all got up and left.

The six of them walked out of the house and bumped into Kimie Shimabukuro.

"I was busy taking care of my great-grandmother just now, so I neglected everyone."

"Ah, it's nothing," Hattori Heiji said with a smile. "We should take our leave now, so we won't bother you any longer."

“Then I will see you all out,” said Kimie Shimabukuro.

A group of people left the longevity woman's residence.

“I’ll probably be keeping vigil for Kotobuki tomorrow,” Shimabukuro Kimie said softly. “If you want to find out what’s going on, you can go and take a look…”

Lin Xiaofeng turned around, saw the bathroom with the light on, paused for a moment, glanced at Shimabukuro Kimie, and then looked away.

Shimabukuro Kimie felt a little flustered after Lin Xiaofeng's gaze, completely unaware of where she had given herself away. Just as the group was about to leave, she couldn't help but speak up, "Um... Mr. Lin..."

Lin Xiaofeng turned to look at Shimabukuro Kimie and walked forward.

The others also looked at Lin Xiaofeng with curiosity.

Conan and Heiji Hattori even went so far as to eavesdrop.

The other three or six girls kept sighing with admiration, saying that Lin Lin was so popular that wherever he went, cute girls would throw themselves into his arms.

At the doorway, Shimabukuro Kimie looked up at Lin Xiaofeng. When they got closer, she suddenly realized that Lin Xiaofeng put a lot of pressure on her, both in terms of height and temperament. She felt unconsciously nervous. The key was that she had impulsively called out to Lin Xiaofeng, and she really didn't know what to say.

Lin Xiaofeng was silent for a moment before speaking, "I was just thinking of talking to Miss Shimabukuro. How about I come over tomorrow morning?"

Shimabukuro Kimie breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay... um... Mr. Hayashi, I..."

"See you tomorrow." After saying this, Erlin Xiaojiufeng turned and left. She saw Heiji Hattori and Conan both craning their necks and tilting their ears, seemingly trying to eavesdrop. Speechless, she said, "I'm leaving."

"Hmph..." Hattori Heiji laughed.

"Hehe..." Conan laughed.

Back at the hotel, everyone went to the men's and women's baths to bathe and soak in the hot springs. Afterwards, they gathered at the restaurant for a seafood feast. The day's activities were relaxing and incredibly comfortable.

"I'm so happy! It's so great to be with Heiji-nii-san!" Conan patted his belly contentedly.

"Conan, if you're happy, you can come play with me again next time. I'll give you my phone number and email address," Hattori Heiji said with a smile.

"Yay!" Conan was overjoyed.

Originally, Yukiko and Shizuka didn't pay much attention to Heiji and Conan, but now they suddenly realize something is wrong.

"Jinghua, your son doesn't actually like little boys, does he?" Yukiko asked nervously. Conan is, after all, her own son. It would be too unacceptable for him to be picking up soap with Hattori Heiji.

“That shouldn’t be the case…” Ikeba Shizuka was also full of doubt. Liking little boys shouldn’t be the exclusive domain of priests. Logically speaking, Hattori Heiji shouldn’t be so shameless.

Yukiko and Shizuka were both troubled, not only by Lin Xiaofeng's womanizing, but also by their own unreliable son.
