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

Anything produced by Dr. Agasa is guaranteed to be of high quality.

Before long, Lin Xiaofeng and Kudo Shinichi found the winding mountain road described by the children in the detective badge, and also found the mischievous children hiding in a simple round snow hut built with snow by the roadside.

I must say, it actually looks pretty decent.

Lin Xiaofeng jumped off his skis, rushed up, and ripped off the roof of the snow house, giving the three little ones hiding inside a big surprise.

When Ayumi came up, she was startled. When she looked up and saw Lin Xiaofeng's face above her, she immediately smiled.

"Ah, Brother Xiaofeng is here!"

"Really!"

"And Shinichi-nii is here too!"

Genta Mitsuhiko, who had his back to them, also realized what was happening, and the atmosphere instantly became joyful and excited.

Lin Xiaofeng shrugged, glanced at the snowmobile lying on its side, turned upside down, with snow already piled on its tracks, and suddenly became a little curious.

"By the way, how did you manage to drive all the way here before flipping the car over?"

"It's all because of Genta!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Mitsuhiko started shouting loudly.

"It's all Mrs. Yuan's fault for getting carried away!"

"Mitsuhiko, what did you say!?"

Genta was unhappy when he heard that the blame was being shifted entirely onto him.

"Don't make it sound like I don't use my brain when I do things. Besides, you're having fun when you play, aren't you?"

"Am I wrong? You were driving the whole time, Genta!"

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

"Mitsuhiko, try saying that again!"

"You...you two, stop arguing..."

Seeing that the argument was about to escalate into a fight, Ayumi hurriedly tried to step forward to stop it, but her voice was too soft and was drowned out by the angry shouts of the two boys.

"You two..." Shinichi Kudo frowned, preparing to intervene and stop them.

Just then, a faint voice came.

"Why don't you two have a fight?"

Everyone was stunned by those words. Even Genta and Mitsuhiko, who were arguing, forgot to continue for a moment and turned their heads blankly to look in the direction of the voice.

Lin Xiaofeng stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression indifferent.

"Hey, you!" Shinichi Kudo couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed the dog's collar. "Some words, once spoken, can never be taken back. Some people lose lifelong friends because of a momentary argument or misunderstanding, and some even commit murder because of it. Don't you understand such a simple truth?!"

.. ... ...

He spoke so loudly that Genta and Mitsuhiko, who had been arguing earlier, both lowered their heads in silence.

With the help of Lin Xiaofeng and Kudo Shinichi, two adults, the overturned snowmobile was easily flipped right over again.

Fortunately, the snow cushioned the fall, so nothing was damaged except the rearview mirror was slightly warped, but it was straightened and it was still drivable.

On the way back, Lin Xiaofeng drove the snowmobile with Ayumi and Mitsuhiko sitting behind him, and a ski was towed behind the vehicle for Genta to sit on.

Shinichi Kudo, however, went back on his nuclear-powered skateboard as usual.

Don't ask where the skateboard came from; I got it from the PhD student.

"Hey! You lot, tell me honestly where you've been!" Professor Agasa clenched his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, looking like he was about to explode and beat someone up at any moment. It was rare for Professor Agasa to lose his temper like this.

"us……"

The three children, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Agasa, had never seen anything like this before. When they saw that Professor Agasa was about to get angry, they forgot what they had told Lin Xiaofeng in the Detective Badge: not to let the adults know. Without saying a word, they were about to raise their hands and confess on the spot.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaofeng coughed lightly in time: "It's nothing. I just thought the snow scene outside was nice and the snow wasn't too heavy, so I took the kids to play around nearby for a while and just strolled around."

Shinichi Kudo also said, "Well, Professor Agasa, it's also my fault for not being Conan and not being able to keep an eye on them."

"..."

Faced with the children's innocent gazes, Dr. Agasa was at a loss.

Just as he was about to take a deep breath to calm his blood pressure, a somewhat familiar voice came from the side.

"Um... are you perhaps the high school detective Lin Xiaofeng?"

"Am I that famous? I get recognized everywhere I go."

Lin Xiaofeng suddenly felt that being a famous detective was quite prestigious.

416. Ran: Shinichi, can you please stop showing up?

"Ok?"

Upon hearing someone mention his name, Lin Xiaofeng immediately snapped back to reality. He looked in the direction of the voice and found a bespectacled stranger he didn't recognize.

Since they don't recognize him, they must be his fans, right? After all, he's so famous now, that's what Lin Xiaofeng thought.

"That's right, I am the famous detective Lin Xiaofeng."

"Uh……"

Lin Xiaofeng glanced in the direction of the voice and immediately raised his eyebrows slightly. This person… wasn't he the guy with the stun gun he'd encountered at the visitor center earlier that day?

That's right, the man who just mentioned Lin Xiaofeng's name was the bespectacled man that Lin Xiaofeng and Sonoko met at the visitor center during the day. On the sofa to his left, numbered "263", sat the dark-skinned man who was with him, and three other people he hadn't seen before, two women and one man, making a total of five people.

The five of them sat around the public sofa booths in the hotel lobby, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

It felt somewhat nostalgic, yet also a little eerie, as if everyone had their own heavy burdens.

"Well..." the dark-skinned man hesitated for a moment, "So, are you here to investigate a case or for work or something?"

"what?"

Lin Xiaofeng was taken aback, then shook his head: "Of course not, we're just here for tourism."

As he spoke, he stepped back two paces and pointed to the Junior Detective Club children behind him.

“Yes, who would bring a child to work?” Professor Agasa chimed in with a laugh.

"Ah... yeah, I thought so too." The dark-skinned man let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought this hastily arranged fan meeting would end abruptly, the bespectacled man carrying a stun gun suddenly stood up from the sofa, his tone and movements quite exaggerated.

"Oh my, I really didn't expect to run into the famous detective in such a remote place, did I?"

For some reason, the last two words of his sentence were spoken to the dark-skinned man beside him.

"Then let me introduce it."

The bespectacled man pointed to himself and then gestured to the dark-skinned man beside him.

“My name is Hikawa Shogo, and the person sitting to my left is Yamao Keisuke.”

As he spoke, Hikawa Shogo turned his gaze to the two young women sitting on the sofa opposite him.

"The woman sitting across from me wearing glasses is Mizuki Tono, who is also the receptionist at this hotel. The other woman is Fuyumi Tachihara, who works at the hospital in Kitazawa Village."

"And this one—"

Finally, Hikawa Shogo pointed to a square-faced man sitting on the single sofa to his right.

"This is Takehiko Muto. The five of us were classmates when we were in elementary school and are also residents of the old Kitazawa Village. Yamao and I came back from Tokyo specifically to attend the commemorative ceremony. To be precise, it has been almost eight years since we last got together."

"Eight years!"

Ran and Sonoko happened to come downstairs to check on the situation and were surprised to hear this.

"But why haven't you all reunited in these eight years?" Shinichi Kudo once again displayed his meddlesome nature.

Hikawa Shogo, who had just finished introducing his elementary school classmates, chuckled when someone asked him this question and pointed to Yamao Keisuke next to him.

"Of course it's because of this guy. Eight years ago, he was in a car accident on his way from Tokyo to his grandmother's old home, and he killed someone. Unfortunately, he was terrified at the time and had been drinking, so he didn't think straight and chose to flee the scene..."

As the previously unknown details of his past life were gradually revealed, Yamao Keisuke, sitting next to Hikawa Shogo, grew increasingly grim.

"Oh, right, speaking of which, I still have the newspaper that reported this news back then..."

As he spoke, Hikawa Shogo pulled out a folded, yellowed old newspaper from his person and unfolded it in front of everyone.

Sitting on the sofa opposite Fuyumi Tachihara, Mizuki Tono's face darkened after just one glance.

Hikawa Shogo then smiled and explained to everyone the reason why Tono Mizuki had turned her face down.

"Coincidentally, the person this guy killed in the car accident was none other than Mizuki's younger sister, Natsuki, who was only eighteen years old at the time. Drunk driving, speeding, hit-and-run resulting in death, plus the fact that his driver's license was suspended at the time, all sorts of crimes combined meant that he only regained his freedom this summer."

Lin Xiaofeng didn't seem to care. He stood up, stretched, and said, "Fine, we're not interested in your old stories and personal grudges anyway, so we won't disturb your 'touching' reunion after eight years."

After saying that, he gently put his arm around Sonoko and Ran's shoulders and patted them on the shoulder. His words made Sonoko and Ran blush.

"Let's go upstairs, it's getting late, good kids should go to sleep."

"Yes, Xiaofeng." Xiaolan's heart was fluttering with romantic feelings.

"Hehehe... It's the happiest time again." Sonoko has become a little naive now.

After saying that, Lin Xiaofeng took Xiaolan and Yuanzi by the hands and led them back to their room.

Upon seeing this, Shinichi was petrified (1.4). To be honest, when he was still Conan, he didn't react much because he was a child. But seeing Lin Xiaofeng's posture now, it's hard not to react.

"Xiaofeng, you need to talk to Xiaolan and Yuanzi later."

"Of course, it's something only lovers can do."

Lin Xiaofeng spoke frankly.

"Can I join you?"

Before Lin Xiaofeng could answer, Xiaolan and Yuanzi's foreheads sprouted the character "井" (well).

Sonoko said angrily, "Shinichi, have you gone crazy after not seeing you for a while?!"

Ran was also very unhappy: "Shinichi, you're really in my way. Please just disappear and don't show up again."

417. Shinichi worries that Xiaofeng's feelings for Xiaolan aren't deep enough.

Japanese-style inns typically involve sleeping on the floor, with the mats pushed together...

As if deliberately making things difficult, Lin Xiaofeng tightened his arms around the girl's soft waist even more.

The girl's breathing suddenly became even more rapid.

……

After a night of wind and snow, the morning sunlight shining through the mountains was exceptionally bright.

As the soft, gentle sunlight fell on her face, the girl let out a soft murmur and groggily opened her eyes little by little.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi gave Lin Xiaofeng a good morning kiss in succession.

"Alright. It's breakfast time."

"How about I feed you some first?"

"You bastard, I've already opened my mouth."

"I also want!"

at the same time……

In the restaurant on the first floor, the Junior Detective League children were having breakfast, with Lin Xiaofeng and Professor Agasa sitting next to them, each holding a cup of soy milk.

Shinichi Kudo, who was successfully rejected by Ran last night, had a face full of indignation.

"Why didn't Xiaolan choose me? I'm devoted to her, Lin Xiaofeng is a complete scumbag."

"Come on, Kudo, calm down a bit. You're no match for Lin Xiaofeng, so don't compare yourself to him. Just find another girl. Why hang yourself on Ran?"

Dr. Agasa, who had heard this phrase for the eighth time that morning, smiled wryly and offered words of comfort.

“But…” Shinichi Kudo hesitated.

Dr. Agasa pointed to the restaurant entrance.

"Look, Kudo-kun, Lin Xiaofeng, Xiaolan, and Sonoko are here!"

"Ok?"
