Lin Xiaofeng's expression was somewhat strange. What on earth was going on? Meeting someone who looked exactly like Yumi and Miwako was bad enough, but her boyfriend looked exactly like Takagi Wataru! It was utterly absurd. However, upon closer inspection, it wasn't impossible, since Miwako and Takagi were a couple in the anime.

As Lin Xiaofeng pondered this, he entered Yi Huli's villa.

"Detective Lin, and Miss Officer, please have a seat. Would you like something to drink?"

Ping Zhenghui greeted the two with a faint smile and impeccable manners.

He's got the air of a considerate and loving husband.

Seeing this, Rei Masuto looked extremely guilty. She couldn't help but say, "I'll go help you prepare..."

"No need, Li. Let's talk about the case first. The sooner we find him, the more at ease you'll feel."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and took Yi Huli's hand, inviting her to sit down next to him.

Ping Zhenghui's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

He smiled and said, "We've already told the police what happened. Is there anything else you'd like to know, Mr. Lin?"

"Of course."

Eyes facing each other.

He sensed a faint but palpable killing intent emanating from his body.

Lin Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow and a smile of interest appeared on his lips.

This guy in front of me is interesting.

The ruthlessness in his eyes was not something an ordinary person could possess.

This Takagi... no, this Taira no Teru has killed someone?

A smile involuntarily appeared in Lin Xiaofeng's eyes. He asked meaningfully, "Mr. Zhenghui, what happened to your hand? It looks like it's in a cast."

"Oh, this is a sprain that Zhenghui twisted when he was fighting with that robber. The doctor said he needs to rest for a while. He should be fine by our wedding day."

Looking at Lin Xiaofeng sitting beside her, his thigh pressed tightly against hers, Yihu Li hurriedly spoke, seemingly as a reminder.

Lin Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I see. I heard from Li that you're renting an apartment alone now. In that case, I'll talk to the police and ask them to protect you secretly. After all, the robber made some threats before he left, and it's too dangerous for you to be alone. Who knows if he'll retaliate?"

"Haha, thank you for your kind offer, Detective Lin, but I won't accept it. That robber has no idea where I live. Let's send more police to protect Li."

"Oh, Lin-kun, now that you mention it, I suddenly remember. Not long after I was being chased by that robber, it seems that Zheng Hui's apartment was broken into..." Yi Hu Li slapped her forehead.

"Li, don't mention such trivial matters. Your safety is the most important thing right now; you don't need to worry about me."

"Alright, you two stop arguing."

Lin Xiaofeng interrupted the two of them.

His gaze toward Ping Zhenghui grew increasingly interested.

After all this time, he's finally met a decent rival... no, I should say a love rival.

He clearly had something to hide, which is why he didn't want police protection. But the way he said it completely changed.

Yes, much better than that nice guy, Wataru Takagi.

I wonder if he'll give me a surprise later.

Lin Xiaofeng clapped his hands and laughed, "I already know what happened."

"We've got leads on the killer, Li. Should we arrest him now?"

"Lin Jun, do you really know?"

"So fast?"

Yihu Li suddenly widened her eyes. Although she had heard Yumi talk about Lin Xiaofeng's deeds before.

But she never expected it to happen so quickly.

An expectant look appeared on her face, and she asked impatiently, "Mr. Lin, who exactly is that bandit, and where is he now?"

Lin Xiaofeng grinned mischievously: "Why don't you think about it a little longer?"

“Yes, Mr. Lin, don’t be in such a hurry. It would be bad if we found the wrong one,” Ping Zhenghui quickly agreed.

"Don't worry, I already have solid evidence." Lin Xiaofeng nodded with a smile, meeting Yi Huli's expectant gaze.

"I know! I finally understand!" Miyamoto Yumi suddenly slapped her thigh, her face beaming with excitement.

Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Rei Masuto asked, somewhat surprised, "Yumi, do you also know who the murderer is?"

"The...murderer?"

Yumi Miyamoto blinked and said strangely, "I don't know. I'm not Lin Jun, how could I possibly identify the murderer at a glance? You overestimate me."

"So what did you find out?"

Lin Xiaofeng was speechless.

Why is this woman so easily startled?

"Hehehe, is that even a question... Detective Lin, you're clearly lying to me."

455. Miyamoto Yumi pursues Lin Xiaofeng

Miyamoto Yumi chuckled smugly, then couldn't resist giving Lin Xiaofeng a light peck on the cheek, her face flushed with shyness.

"Detective Lin, I've realized I'm starting to like you."

"Are you planning to pursue me?"

"Can't you?"

"of course can!"

Ping Zhenghui's smile immediately turned cold and stern. Yihu Rei, standing beside him, also subconsciously frowned. What did this sudden display of affection between the two mean?

"By the way, Detective Lin, didn't you say you'd found the murderer? I don't want Li to keep living in fear. Who is he? I'll go find him right now and take him to the police station." Ping Zhenghui clearly realized he had just done something stupid and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Since you've said so, then go to the Metropolitan Police Department now."

"Okay, I'll go catch it right away... Um, Mr. Lin, what did you just say?"

"Why would I go to the Metropolitan Police Department by myself?"

Ping Zhenghui, who had already stood up, paused and spoke with a strange expression.

"Ha, do I really have to spell it out for you?"

Lin Xiaofeng crossed his arms and coldly laughed, "You're that burglar and murderer from the dam, right?"

"what?"

"Is Zheng Hui a serial killer?"

Rei Masuto's expression froze for a moment, and she said strangely, "Wait a minute, Lin-kun, are you mistaken? I was almost killed by that serial killer back then, and it was Masahiro who saved me in the end. How could he be a murderer? This doesn't make sense. It's impossible for him to play two roles at once."

“That’s right, that’s right, Mr. Lin, please don’t joke like that. Why would I kill Li?” Ping Zhenghui’s face stiffened for a moment before he smiled and spoke. He maintained his image as a gentle and refined gentleman with a kind personality to the very end.

Yumi, however, didn't care about any of that at this point. After all, she already knew from Miwako how illogical Lin Xiaofeng's reasoning was, and her expression turned wary as she became almost certain that Zheng Hui was the murderer.

In front of everyone, Lin Xiaofeng stated his reasoning: "Li, of course I know, he saved you back then. Have you ever considered that the two of them were originally in cahoots?"

"What!" Rei Masuto was stunned.

"Let me ask you, it was already past midnight, and even your servants were asleep. Plus, given how traditional you are, Li, you would never allow him to stay overnight before your remarriage. So why did he suddenly appear outside your door and coincidentally save you? It just doesn't make sense."

A flicker of doubt flashed in Rei Masuto's eyes. But it was quickly replaced by embarrassment. How could this guy have seen through her traditional ways? It was clearly because last night, during a break from playing mahjong, he'd taken advantage of her, groping her all over…

Ping Zhenghui immediately defended himself: "I did come to see Li suddenly. But it was just a coincidence, because I was a little uneasy that night. I had a feeling that something was going to happen, so I went there. I think it must have been God who was moved by the love between Li and me, and that's why He gave me this warning."

As he spoke, his face showed a mixture of grief, indignation, and humiliation; his expressions were rich and his acting superb.

Lin Xiaofeng immediately flashed a bright smile: "I don't deny that there are indeed people in this world who can sense things in advance, but I don't believe it could be you. Because everything is just too coincidental."

Lin Xiaofeng turned his gaze to Yi Huli: "Li, do you still remember what the robber said before he left?"

"Yeah, remember."

Rei Masuto hurriedly nodded, then mimicked the other person's tone and said, "Damn it, I will definitely settle this score with you in the end."

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

"But isn't that what many criminals say on TV before they leave?"

"But is he really an ordinary criminal?"

"That's a serial killer. If he makes such a basic mistake, do you think he could evade the police for so long?"

"Li, think about it carefully." Lin Xiaofeng guided Yi Huli to understand the truth.

Upon hearing this, Ping Zhenghui's face stiffened, and his body began to tremble with fear.

"Wait, could it be that the robber wasn't actually the serial killer? Or perhaps, he wasn't talking to me at all..."

.. ...... ...

Rei Masuto instinctively voiced several possibilities. Then, a look of horror flashed in her eyes, and she instinctively glanced at Masaaki Taira beside her. Shock, disbelief, and bewilderment quickly dissipated into hesitation.

She stood up somewhat nervously and asked tentatively, "Lin Jun, is there some misunderstanding? How could Zheng Hui be the serial killer? If it really is him, why did he save me? It doesn't make sense."

Ping Zhenghui jumped up and shouted, "That's right, Detective Lin, I've been tolerating you because you're Li's friend. If you continue to cause trouble, believe me, I'll call the police right now, or I'll hire a lawyer to sue you for defamation."

“Zhenghui…”

Rei Masuto looked troubled. She instinctively walked towards the other person.

Seeing this, Yumi quickly pulled her back, saying irritably, "Li, didn't you hear what Detective Lin just said? He's a serial killer. If you go over there now, you're just asking him to take you hostage. Or do you think I'm exaggerating and deliberately framing him?"

"This……"

Yi Huli immediately looked troubled.

Looking left and right, I felt that neither option was suitable.

456. Providing psychological counseling to a beautiful female client.

Ping Zhenghui's breathing became somewhat heavy, clearly indicating that he was angered. However, a smile quickly appeared on his face. He looked at Yihu Li and said softly, "Li, what Detective Lin said makes sense. Since I am a suspect, it is indeed very likely that you will be taken hostage if you come here now. Don't worry about my feelings, sit with the policewoman next to you."

"This guy, why is he acting all 'green tea'?" Lin Xiaofeng's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he thought to himself. But despite the complaints, the move was brilliant. It made him look like a ruthless, unforgiving villain. If the genders were reversed, with Masato Rei as the male lead, then Taira Masaki would definitely be the 'green tea' female lead. She seemed to be always thinking of the protagonist, but in reality, she was full of 'green tea' charm. "Unfortunately, I'm not a naive second female lead. I'm the big boss."

Lin Xiaofeng pulled Yi Huli directly behind him. He didn't care whether this would lower his image; he was completely unforgiving.

Upon seeing this, Ping Zhenghui's originally honest and gentle expression immediately changed slightly.

"Mr. Lin, your reasoning does have some merit. But have you forgotten the most important point? Where is the evidence? All that you've said so far is just your own speculation. What evidence do you have to prove that I am the serial killer, or that I am in cahoots with the killer?"

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile. He said calmly, "Since you want evidence, I'll give it to you now. But before that, can I ask you first, is your hand really injured?"

"That goes without saying, Li can vouch for me," Ping Zhenghui said confidently. "293."

"Yes, that's right, I can..."

Before Yi Huli could finish speaking, Lin Xiaofeng interrupted her, asking, "Li, did the doctor tell you these things himself? Or did you personally accompany him to the hospital?"

"This……"

Yihu Li suddenly hesitated.

Just as he was about to say something, Lin Xiaofeng immediately laughed and said, "Your reaction has already told me the answer. It seems you didn't accompany him to the hospital and can't be sure about his injuries. This is entirely his side of the story, right?"

Now I can confirm it, Mr. Zhenghui, the fingerprints found on the murder weapon by the police in the serial murder case should be yours, right?

You fabricated your illness to avoid having your fingerprints taken by the police. Now all they need to do is take your fingerprints, compare them to the Metropolitan Police Department's system, and that will be irrefutable evidence.

"Zhenghui, is that really true?"

Rei Yoshito couldn't help but look over, her tone somewhat uncertain.

Ping Zhenghui clenched his fists tightly, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, seemingly from anger. However, upon hearing the question, he shook his head without hesitation, saying firmly, "How could that be?"

"Since Detective Lin says my fingerprints match those of a serial killer, how about we go to the Metropolitan Police Department together?"

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing her completely unfazed demeanor, Rei Masuto's doubts vanished. She nodded and stood up from the sofa.

Lin Xiaofeng naturally smiled and got up, walking towards the door. One can only say that Takagi… no, Taira Masahiro is still too naive.

Hey, wait.
