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

"I am the best detective."

"I understand, you just want to say that you are the most special one."

Akiba Reiko thought to herself, Lin Xiaofeng really wasn't modest at all. However, Lin Xiaofeng's strength certainly didn't require modesty.

Just as Akiba Reiko was examining the menu, two people appeared.

"Lin Xiaofeng, are you serious? You're really dating Qiu Tinglianzi!"

Lin Xiaofeng looked up and saw Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa.

"Brother Xiaofeng, what a coincidence!" Conan Edogawa said with a cheerful smile.

"It's Detective Mouri and Conan. What are you doing here?"

“Of course it’s a commission,” Kogoro Mouri replied.

"Brother Xiaofeng, congratulations! You've won over Miss Akiba Reiko again." Conan Edogawa deliberately tried to sow discord among Lin Xiaofeng.

"Again?" Akiba Reiko immediately questioned Lin Xiaofeng upon hearing Edogawa Conan's words.

"Don't take what a child says to heart," Lin Xiaofeng chuckled, managing to get away with it.

Seeing that Lin Xiaofeng didn't answer directly, Akiba Reiko asked Edogawa Conan instead.

"Oh, it's you, Conan." Akiba Reiko pretended to be very familiar with him.

"Huh? Sister Reiko, you still remember me." Conan Edogawa was flattered.

"Of course I remember. When your class sang the school song, you were tone-deaf. I thought you were just playing a prank on us."

Upon hearing this, Conan Edogawa immediately threw a tantrum: "Hmph! I'm not tone-deaf, I have perfect pitch!"

"Ahem..." Kogoro Mouri coughed a few times, then said, "Let me explain to Ms. Reiko Akiba. It's embarrassing, but I have to tell you that my ex-wife and daughter are now Lin Xiaofeng's girlfriends. That's roughly what Conan wanted to say."

Driven by jealousy, Kogoro Mouri went so far as to expose his embarrassing moments to Reiko Akiba in an attempt to sabotage her relationship with Kofuyu Hayashi.

"Detective Mouri, are you serious?"

Akiba Reiko's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. Putting aside how scummy Lin Xiaofeng was, this Mori detective was just too pitiful.

"Cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri felt utterly humiliated. He coughed a few times and left with Conan.

"What exactly happened? Xiao Feng, answer me! Stop pretending to be stupid!"

Akiba Reiko looked nervously at Lin Xiaofeng, fearing that her love with Lin Xiaofeng was just a beautiful dream.

"It's a long story, and my feud with Detective Mori is hard to explain in a short time. But please believe me, I truly love you, and I will love you for ten thousand years."

"Hmm...how cunning!"

Seeing that Lin Xiaofeng's expression was serious and he didn't seem to be lying, Qiu Tinglian decided to let him off the hook for the time being.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa were seated not far from Lin Xiaofeng and Reiko Akiba.

Just as Kogoro Mouri sat down, someone suddenly walked up quickly from behind and stood in front of him.

"Excuse me... could you perhaps be Mr. Mori?"

"Eh?"

"I am Kogoro Mouri."

Kogoro Mouri answered smugly. He truly was a household name; in Tokyo, he was the second most famous detective after Lin Xiaofeng. ... He looked up at the person before him. It was a young, artistic man with light blue sunglasses and long brown hair, probably around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and quite handsome.

"Excuse me, are you..."

"Hello, hello! I was wondering if I had mistaken you for someone else, but it really is Mr. Mori!" The brown-haired man greeted Kogoro Mori warmly with a handshake. "By the way, let me introduce myself. I'm a screenwriter named Hironari Kusaka, and I'm actually a big fan of yours, Mr. Mori!"

"Yes, really? Thank you so much for your support."

Kogoro Mouri responded indifferently. He was clearly less impressed by declarations from male fans than female fans, and even when greeted enthusiastically in public, he merely nodded coldly.

Then, he suddenly noticed another tall, slender figure behind Hiroshige. His eyes lit up instantly.

He excitedly asked Hiroshige, "So, who is this...?"

“This is Ms. Minamiko Akiyoshi,” Hironari Kusaka introduced to Kogoro Mouri. “She is the deputy director of the design team for this ship, and she also came up with the beautiful name of the ship, Aphrodite… In addition, she is currently my consultant for the new script.”

"Hello, I'm Akiyoshi."

Minako Akiyoshi smiled and nodded politely to Kogoro Mouri.

With her short black hair, square-framed glasses, fitted women's suit, and two sharp, arched eyebrows, she exudes the aura of a sophisticated professional woman.

"Wow, this aunt looks just like Eri!" Conan Edogawa thought of Ran Mouri's mother, that dashing and beautiful lawyer, who had now been completely won over by Lin Xiaofeng!

Reminded by Conan Edogawa, Kogoro Mouri was instantly filled with fear. Minako Akiyoshi successfully stirred up memories that Kogoro Mouri didn't want to face in the past.

"Hello, I'm Mori..."

At this moment, Hiroshige turned to the waiter who had been forced to stop because of their arrival.

"Excuse me, could you please add two more seats? Is that alright, Mr. Mori?"

"Oh, I don't really care..."

Kogoro Mouri looked distracted.

Seeing that the person in question had no objections, the waiter nodded in understanding.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

332. Suzuki Tomoko: Lin Xiaofeng's fiancée isn't just you.

The door of the restaurant.

Five minutes earlier, Tomoko Suzuki, who had just stepped off the helicopter platform on the top floor of the cruise ship, walked slowly down the outer corridor with her head held high and elegant steps, followed by a large group of upper-class people, some in suits and ties and others in flowing gowns.

This scene looks exactly like Her Majesty the Empress's arrival.

Suzuki Tomoko walked ahead without looking back, and asked Nishino's secretary, who was following cautiously behind her, "Nishino, have you done what I told you to do?"

“Yes, General Manager.” Secretary Nishino followed behind, holding a small notebook. “Regarding Mr. Lin Xiaofeng, according to the information I received from the restaurant manager, Mr. Lin seems to be dining here now. He did not come alone, but with… a beautiful female companion. As far as I know, that beautiful female companion is the famous female singer, Akita Reiko.”

17 "Qiu Ting Lianzi?"

Suzuki Tomoko paused slightly, turning her head slightly to look at Secretary Nishino behind her. "How did she end up with Lin Xiaofeng?"

"Reporting to the General Manager, we don't know either. This Lin Xiaofeng has too many women around him... Our intelligence has only scratched the surface of Lin Xiaofeng's moral limits."

Tomoko Suzuki's eyes sharpened. Lin Xiaofeng had been invited by her, and he even brought another woman along—it was incredibly disrespectful to her.

"Okay, I'll go and meet them."

Mrs. Suzuki strode into the restaurant, her arrival quickly attracting the attention of many people inside. She was already used to this, and greeted everyone along the way with practiced ease.

Kogoro Mouri also noticed Tomoko Suzuki and thought to himself, "Mrs. Suzuki is so beautiful. It's such a good deal for that fat pig Shiro Suzuki."

At that moment, Mrs. Suzuki came to his table, and Kogoro Mouri quickly put down his wine glass and stood up to greet her.

"It's been a long time, Mrs. Suzuki."

"Yes, Detective Mouri, it's been a long time." Tomoko Suzuki glanced at the people beside Detective Mouri and noticed that Ran Mouri was not there. "Detective Mouri, where is your daughter Ran? Why can't I see her?"

"Oh. After my ex-wife and I divorced, she lived with my ex-wife."

"Detective Mouri, are you aware that your daughter and your ex-wife have both fallen for the same man?"

Kogoro Mouri also couldn't understand why Eri Kisaki was so fierce to him but so gentle to Lin Xiaofeng, even going so far as to bring her daughter along!

"I already knew." Kogoro Mouri smiled bitterly. "I don't know what my ex-wife was thinking. It was outrageous. As for Ran... she's all grown up now, I can't control her."

"You're really easygoing, Detective Mouri."

"Oh... thank you for your concern, Mrs. Suzuki."

Kogoro Mouri sighed softly.

Conan Edogawa chimed in, "Aunt Tomoko, Brother Kaze is not only like that."

Conan Edogawa is no longer capable of confronting Lin Xiaofeng directly, and can only resort to underhanded tactics.

"Oh. Conan, what do you want to say?" Tomoko Suzuki smiled as she looked at the cute little boy sitting in the chair.

"Not only Ran-neechan and Eri-san, but Sonoko-neechan also likes Xiaofeng-nii. What do you think? Tomoko-san, for Sonoko-neechan's sake, should keep Lin Xiaofeng at home and not let him flirt around." Conan Edogawa was full of wicked schemes, wanting to use others to kill him and separate Lin Xiaofeng from Ran and Eri. That way, one day when he becomes Shinichi Kudo again, he can follow suit and take Ran and Eri as his own.

"Hehehe... Little friend, you know quite a lot. I will consider your suggestion."

Tomoko Suzuki ruffled Conan's hair and headed towards Lin Xiaofeng's table.

At this moment, all the dishes ordered for Lin Xiaofeng and Qiu Tinglianzi's table had been served. Qiu Tinglianzi scooped a spoonful of cheese and mushroom soup and put it into Lin Xiaofeng's mouth. She tilted her head, propped her cheek up with one hand, and focused all her attention on the boy in front of her.

"Speaking of which, what exactly did Mrs. Suzuki ask you to come here for?" Reiko Akiba asked, but then realized it was inappropriate. "I'm sorry, if you can't tell me, then you don't have to."

"Actually, it's not that there's anything that can't be said. It's just that the person involved has already come through it."

Lin Xiaofeng swallowed the cheese and mushroom soup, his calm tone matching the resolute expression on his face.

Akiba Reiko put down her soup spoon, turned around, and saw a beautiful woman in a formal dress, elegant and graceful, walking slowly towards her and Lin Xiaofeng.

Tomoko Suzuki has a powerful presence, and even Reiko Akiba, who has seen a lot, found it deeply moving.

Good evening, Xiaofeng?

Suzuki Tomoko gestured to Nishino's secretary behind her with her eyes, and Nishino's secretary immediately asked the waiter to bring over a chair. Then Nishino's secretary tactfully withdrew.

Suzuki Tomoko sat in her chair, maintaining a polite smile. She exchanged glances with Lin Xiaofeng for a moment before turning to Akiba Reiko across the table.

"What a surprise! I never expected to run into the female singer, Ms. Qiuting, here, especially with Xiaofeng. May I ask if you two are perhaps...?"

Reiko Akiba frowned slightly. Although Mrs. Suzuki was very polite in her words, there seemed to be something hidden in her eyes that made her very uncomfortable.

So she chose to be direct: "That's right, I am Xiaofeng's fiancée."

"Oh dear? Where is my fiancée...?" Mrs. Suzuki's eyes became even more meaningful.

Upon hearing Akiba Reiko's words, Mrs. Suzuki couldn't help but chuckle.

Mrs. Suzuki's laughter made Reiko Akiba even more uncomfortable.

"Mrs. Suzuki, what are you laughing at? What is it that makes you laugh?" Akiba Reiko asked, frowning.

"Silly girl, do you know how many 'fiancées' Lin Xiaofeng has?" Suzuki Tomoko's tone was slightly sarcastic.

333. The Battleground Between My Classmate's Mother and His Fiancée

Lin Xiaofeng was now deeply experiencing the reality of the "Shura Field" in anime, which is when the three female protagonists, who both have feelings for the male protagonist, come together and have a conflict that is either turbulent or full of undercurrents. At this time, the male protagonist usually trembles with fear and doesn't dare to utter a word.

He's not trembling with fear right now, but he's truly speechless. At this point, it wouldn't be appropriate to say anything.

Tomoko Suzuki still had a smile on her face, while Reiko Akiba had a slight frown.

"Mrs. Suzuki, what exactly are you trying to say? You asked Lin Xiaofeng to meddle in his private affairs, you're not Lin Xiaofeng's mother."

Akiba Reiko's mood turned ashen, but she tried hard to tell herself to stay calm and to trust Lin Xiaofeng.

"Ah... but it's really surprising. I didn't expect Lin-kun to keep it a secret so well. Miss Akiba Reiko was completely kept in the dark."

At that moment, Akiba Reiko suddenly stood up. Her figure was already quite tall for an Asian woman, and with the high heels she was wearing, she was very imposing.

"Mrs. Suzuki, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Mrs. Suzuki did not answer, but glanced at Lin Xiaofeng and noticed that his face was gradually turning pale. She decided to give Lin Xiaofeng some space.

"Hehehe... I've said everything I wanted to say." Tomoko Suzuki's words came to an abrupt halt. "Kaze, after dinner, don't forget to go to the cruise ship's bar and meet up with me?"

“Okay…Mrs. Suzuki.”

Lin Xiaofeng had no choice but to agree immediately.

"Mrs. Suzuki?"

Hearing that Lin Xiaofeng's tone wasn't warm enough, Mrs. Suzuki's pretty face immediately turned cold.

"Ah...Tomoko-neechan..."

"That's pretty much it."

After Suzuki Tomoko got up and left, Akiba Reiko was speechless.

"Tell me! What exactly is your relationship with that Mrs. Suzuki?!"

Reiko Akiba recalled that Lin Xiaofeng claimed to be a self-made millionaire. Could it be that he made a lot of money by being Mrs. Suzuki's gigolo and thus became a self-made millionaire?

"Mrs. Suzuki is my classmate's mother..."
