Lin Xiaofeng pressed Qiu Tinglianzi's fragrant shoulder, making Qiu Tinglianzi's beautiful eyes meet his gaze.
"Believe me."
Conquered by Lin Xiaofeng's burning gaze, Qiu Tinglian's resolve wavered instantly. She couldn't leave Lin Xiaofeng, even though he was infatuated with a married woman. She felt powerless, yet utterly helpless.
"Lin Xiaofeng, you're despicable!" Qiu Tinglianzi gritted her teeth, feeling very unwilling.
"Alright, listen to me, let's go have lunch together." Lin Xiaofeng smiled gently, her smile brighter than the midday sun.
341. Ship Tremor
Lin Xiaofeng and Qiu Tinglian held hands tightly as they entered the restaurant.
The lunch on the cruise ship was sumptuous, and the news of Chairman Yatsushiro's death was still kept secret and had not yet spread.
The guests clinked glasses and toasted each other.
At the same table as yesterday's dinner, Akiba Reiko took a bite of the mashed potatoes in her spoon, coldly observing the lively scene of singing and dancing in the restaurant.
"Really... I don't know whether to praise their good attitude or something else. Even though the host of the banquet has passed away, they can still enjoy themselves so carefree."
"Well, you can't entirely blame them for it."
Lin Xiaofeng looked up from the large plate of spaghetti mixed with black pepper and meat sauce, holding a fork and said.
"After all, they only saw the police arrive and could guess what had happened, but they probably didn't know the specifics. Moreover, since no one has come forward to disclose what happened so far, it means that the situation is not serious enough for them to know... In that case, they might as well pretend they don't know anything and just relax."
"Humph--"
Akiba Reiko slightly pursed her lips.
She could roughly understand the logic Lin Xiaofeng was trying to convey, and she could comprehend it, but she still couldn't fully agree with it.
Just then, a tuft of hair suddenly appeared next to the two-person table.
That's right, it's a cowlick.
Because of his extremely short stature—his head couldn't even reach above the table—Akiba Reiko, sitting at the dining table, could only see a tuft of short black hair brushing against the edge of the table. It wasn't until she turned and looked down that she realized it was the bespectacled little boy from the meeting room earlier.
Reiko Akiba blinked rapidly: "It's you again... Conan!"
"Hello. Good afternoon, Reiko-neechan."
Conan tried to act cute, intending to call Lin Xiaofeng directly, but before he could even speak, he was caught red-handed by Akiba Reiko and recognized. He could only pretend to be a child and sweetly respond.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, but Uncle Kogoro has something he wants me to tell Brother Lin Jun. He said he wants to talk to Brother Lin Jun about the case after dinner."
"Detective Mori is looking for me?" Lin Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. "Are you sure it's Detective Mori, and not yourself?"
"Hehehe..." Conan chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
"Reiko, after you finish lunch, I may have to excuse myself for a moment."
"Is it because of the case that happened not long ago?"
"correct."
"You'd better actually go and investigate the case."
"of course."
Akiba Reiko remained noncommittal, which was taken as tacit agreement.
……
It was after lunchtime. Lin Xiaofeng and Conan had arranged to meet at a café on the cruise ship, which was actually next to the bar they had visited earlier.
After accompanying Akiba Reiko back to her room, Lin Xiaofeng went directly to the restaurant. When they arrived, she had already chosen a place to sit down, but hadn't ordered any food yet.
"A latte and a cup of hot milk, please."
Lin Xiaofeng sat down on the sofa opposite him and spoke to the waiter holding the menu.
"Hey, I want coffee too! I don't want milk!" Conan protested.
"Why would a child drink coffee? Drink milk."
Lin Xiaofeng's words were beyond question.
Soon, the food the two ordered was served.
Conan picked up his milk, took a sip, and sighed in a normal tone after noticing the waiter had walked away.
"Honestly, Brother Feng, aren't you afraid of your harem going to fall apart with so many women? I'm really worried for you."
"You don't need to worry about my affairs. Conan, get to the point."
“Alright…get back to the point. Based on my investigation, I can basically confirm that the culprit is Mr. Kusaka?” Conan looked at Lin Xiaofeng, holding a milk cup in both hands. “As for Akiyoshi Minamiko, whom you mentioned, she seems to be unrelated to this incident.”
"Minami Akiyoshi, is it really completely unrelated?" Lin Xiaofeng began to doubt Conan's abilities. Had he stolen away Conan's luck, making him stupid? Originally, the entire world's luck was concentrated in Conan, but now he'd almost completely taken it all. "Conan, think about it again."
Conan held the milk cup in both hands and drank several large gulps.
"According to the access control records, this morning, Miss Akiyoshi went to Mrs. Yashiro's bedroom a few minutes before Mr. Kusaka went to Mrs. Yashiro's room. That means even if Miss Akiyoshi just went there for a cup of tea and left, she would still have run into Mr. Kusaka. Could it be... that Miss Akiyoshi and Mr. Kusaka conspired together? That shouldn't be possible..."
Conan was puzzled.
"Then look for more evidence..." Lin Xiaofeng gave Conan another hint, essentially asking Conan to run errands and find evidence. "Could it be that Mr. Kusaka was framed and used by Ms. Akiyoshi, and Ms. Akiyoshi is the real culprit?"
"Then I'll check again. What you said might actually exist..." Ke'er Nan was puzzled. Why did Xiao Ba Feng immediately conclude that Akiyoshi Minamiko was a major suspect? It was completely unfounded.
After finishing his milk, Conan went to look for evidence.
Lin Xiaofeng didn't stay idle either; he went straight to Suzuki Tomoko's room.
Lin Xiaofeng opened the door and saw Suzuki Tomoko wearing transparent lingerie and matte stockings.
Suzuki Tomoko lay on her side on the bed, gazing leisurely at Lin Xiaofeng.
"Why did it take you so long to get here? Did Akiba Reiko stop you?"
"No. Before coming here, I went to a coffee shop with that brat Conan for a while."
Lin Xiaofeng sat down next to Suzuki Tomoko and stroked her long, beautiful legs.
"Your stockings are really nice; they look good and feel good too."
"Do you like Balenciaga stockings?"
"Hmm. Not bad, it looks pretty good."
Lin Xiaofeng gave Balenciaga's designer a thumbs up.
"Would you like me to give you a few pairs?"
"No, I don't wear stockings."
"How could you be so stupid? You could have given it to another woman."
"You're not angry that I gave you something to another woman?"
"What's there to be angry about?" Suzuki Tomoko shifted her position, snuggling closer to Lin Xiaofeng. "I wasn't angry even though you smelled of another woman."
"Hehehe... Sister Tomoko, you're so kind." Lin Xiaofeng thought that next time he might as well bring Suzuki Tomoko to the Kudo family, which he had taken over, and have a party with his other wives.
“You’ll stay here with me this afternoon. I’ve taken care of all my work and social engagements.” Suzuki Tomoko placed her hands on Lin Xiaofeng’s chest, her beautiful eyes meeting his deep gaze. “Not just this afternoon, but the rest of the time, you’ll be with me.”
"Ah, this..." Lin Xiaofeng broke out in a cold sweat. "Sister Pengzi, you're making things difficult for me again."
"No. How am I forcing you? Don't you like me?"
"If I'm with you, what will happen to Reiko?"
"You can have her come over and play with us, I don't mind."
Tomoko's gentle smile was beautiful and charming.
342. Bomb Disposal Expert Lin Xiaofeng
The cruise ship moved on the sea, and the slight swaying and bobbing reminded the passengers that they were already at sea.
"We'll see. Let's just play for now." Lin Xiaofeng thought for a moment, and once Suzuki Tomoko got tired, he would be free.
Now, Lin Xiaofeng only needs to do one thing well, to make Suzuki Tomoko happy.
Lin Xiaofeng gently pushed Suzuki Tomoko away, then grabbed her ankles, which were encased in stockings, and...
"Hehehe... Little Feng, you've learned to take the initiative now, not bad... Hmm..."
Suzuki Tomoko's eyes sparkled with hearts; without a doubt, being with Lin Xiaofeng was the happiest time of her life...
According to the schedule, an introductory session will be held during dinner on the second day at sea, in the banquet hall on the cruise ship. Although the Yatsushiro family has encountered an accident, it has not been announced in order to calm the emotions of the passengers on board.
Lin Xiaofeng escorted Suzuki Tomoko to the Western Paradise and then left her room. After leaving, he put on his X-ray vision glasses and, using his Ryuo (Flowing Sakura) skill, located and defused the bombs on the ship.
The conference room. This place had been converted into a police investigation facility. When Lin Xiaofeng entered the conference room, Inspector Megure, with a large stack of reports on the table in front of him, was still sitting behind the table, discussing something with someone.
No... to be precise, it's a "debate".
The subject of the debate is Director Naoya Misaki, who is in charge of the entire catering system on the cruise ship.
"Director Misaki! I think it's best to reconsider. Since this has already happened, why don't we postpone tonight's presentation?"
Inspector Megure argued forcefully based on reason.
"Mrs. Yashiro has already been confirmed dead. The Maritime Defense Agency contacted me this afternoon to say that they have found her body. If you want to hold an introductory meeting, the host should at least be present. If the guests find out... no, they definitely will find out! It will cause panic!"
"for this I……"
Misaki Naoya also seemed quite helpless.
Inspector Megure frowned anxiously: "Is there anything to worry about? It's just changing the location of dinner. Just treat it as a normal dinner. It's not like we're going to waste the food that the staff worked so hard to prepare!"
"No, it's not a problem of food waste."
Misaki Naoya was even more conflicted.
"Actually, it's the captain's side..."
"captain?"
Inspector Megure couldn't understand what this had to do with the captain.
However, before he could even ask, the conference room door behind Lin Xiaofeng was opened again from the outside as he entered, and a staff member from the cruise ship rushed in, passing by the boy and going straight to the conference table to speak to Misaki Naoya.
"Director Misaki, the presentation is starting in ten minutes. If it's about time, then we can..."
"I know, I'll go there now."
Before his employees could finish speaking, Misaki Naoya immediately spoke up.
Inspector Megure also showed a helpless expression.
The presentation was about to start in ten minutes, and he hadn't managed to do anything about it yet. Or rather, even if he had, it would have been useless by now. Theoretically, by this time, most of the passengers on the cruise ship would have already arrived at the banquet hall, and changing the venue at the last minute was simply impossible.
However, he had barely finished sighing when he noticed someone approaching the conference table.
It was Lin Xiaofeng. The boy silently placed the cloth bag he was carrying on the table, which immediately made a dull thud.
Inspector Megure was startled. He stared at the bag on the table for two seconds, then looked up at Lin Xiaofeng beside the table, hesitating to speak.
"Brother Lin, this is..."
"This is what I found on the ship."
Inspector Megure sat in his chair for a couple of seconds, then carefully got up, opened the bag, and peeked inside. It contained high-explosive bombs, bombs with enough explosive power to capsize a ship.
"A bomb? What's going on?"
“Someone wanted to blow up the ship, but my dad defused the bomb.”
"Brother Lin, you can even defuse bombs!"
"As a detective, mastering a thousand and one skills is essential."
Although Lin Xiaofeng has not yet mastered 1,001 skills, he has enough to handle all kinds of problems in this world.
Inspector Megure broke out in a cold sweat. The ship was full of high-ranking Japanese figures; if a major accident occurred under his nose, he would be held heavily responsible. He immediately ordered Shiratori to handle the bombs properly.
At dinner time, all the guests on the ship had arrived in the banquet hall.
Red carpets, golden crystal chandeliers, and a rich aroma of wine permeating the vast banquet hall. Almost everyone held a glass of red wine, while melodious saxophone music filled the air, emphasizing elegance.
Suddenly, the music faded away, and the stage lights came on.
Under the spotlight, assistant Kaho Tsujimoto, dressed in a business suit, appeared on stage, holding a microphone and smiling broadly.
"Thank you all very much for accepting our invitation to gather here tonight. Since its establishment, the Yatsudai Foundation has gone through..."
