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

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Longwei Linghua: "Your husband is dead, what are your thoughts?"

“I don’t know… I married into the Longwei family… I don’t know why my husband was killed; he wasn’t someone who would easily offend anyone…”

Hattori Heiji said, "Hmm, but the question is, what kind of thing could make Ryūo Kōji see a friend he knows being killed and still say nothing?"

Car accidents are like tornadoes.

Koji Ryūo was the one who, after a breakdown, tried to call the police but was tragically murdered by the real killer.

The reason they chose to remain silent is likely because they were either aware of or unaware of the details of a certain incident, and thus became accomplices, either willingly or unwillingly.

As for the case from 6 years ago, perhaps all that remains is the accidental fall of Kai Genjin off the cliff.

The suspicious point is that, judging from the difficulty of the scene of Ryūo Kōji's death, not to mention Torada Yoshirō who was swept into the sky by a tornado, even Ryūo Kōji who had just hanged himself had a more eerie and cursed feel than him.

His limbs were bound with ropes and buried in the ground; he died after being struck on the head with a blunt object. Apart from the centipede's corpse, was this a curse? Or was it just a simple threat of force?

Lin Xiaofeng came to Longwei's house with these questions in mind, and got the answer in a short time.

……

Hattori Heiji explained his purpose.

Ryūki and his mother led the three of them into a room filled with armor.

On the wall directly behind the armor, there was a flag with the words "Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as fire, immovable as a mountain" written in calligraphy.

This passage means that, depending on the situation on the battlefield, troops should move as swiftly as a whirlwind; advance as slowly as a forest; conquer cities and seize territories as fiercely as a raging fire; and defend as majestically as a mountain.

The wind, mountains, and forests above correspond perfectly to the environment at the scene of the three murders.

So... is fire next...? Lin Xiaofeng recalled the large amount of tung oil he found in the secret room.

Because the number of people to be dealt with cannot be determined from the quantity.

He and Yamato Kansuke ultimately decided that, to avoid alerting the enemy, they should keep the weapons in the secret room and arrange for police officers to monitor the entrances and exits of the shrine.

At his feet, Hattori Heiji also shifted his gaze from the armor to the flag on the wall behind him, letting out a soft "Huh?" and asking:

"Hey, this is..."

[Long Weisheng explained]: "This book is called 'The Art of War' written by the most respected person in the world."

"Wind, fire and mountain forest!"

Lin Xiaofeng gasped: "I know who the murderer is!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Xiaofeng in surprise.

"The murderers were a team led by Tatsue Torada."

Hattori Heiji said, "Then should we..."

Lin Xiaofeng said, "No rush. Tomorrow we'll meet up with Officer Yamato Kansuke and take them all down."

That night, after Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha fell asleep, Lin Xiaofeng went to find Ayaka. He had promised Ayaka that he would spend the night with her.

"Miss Linghua, I've arrived."

"Ah... Lin Xiaofeng, you've come at the perfect time."

Linghua couldn't wait to kiss Lin Xiaofeng. "Please become my man."

Lin Xiaofeng didn't hold back in pursuing Linghua, making her his woman and erasing Longweijing's traces, replacing her with his.

……

On the new day, the four of them found Yamato Kansuke at the shrine and told him about the discovery of the Ryūo family.

"Fūkazan Rin... was a gang crime, premeditated, and the organizer of the crime was Torada Eita."

Yamato Kansuke looked at Uehara Yui: "Yui, the murderer is your mother-in-law, why didn't you notice at all?"

Yui Uehara said innocently, "My mother-in-law and I have never gotten along."

"Never mind." Yamato Kansuke looked up at the sky. "It looks like it's going to rain soon, so you can't stay here for long. I've already told the officers to bring tarpaulins and umbrellas for you guys. The operation that follows is too dangerous, so you shouldn't participate."

"I am considering this, but... are you sure you can handle it?"

Lin Xiaofeng had absolutely no confidence in this one-eyed, lame criminal police officer.

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

Yamato Kansuke gripped his cane tightly, remained silent for a moment, and then let out a soft "heh":

"In our current state, dealing with a few petty thieves shouldn't be a problem!"

Boom!

The ground shook slightly.

In the distance, a bolt of lightning flashed through the dark clouds, its dazzling white light drawing a jagged line in the distance.

Lin Xiaofeng was silent for a moment, then said, "Be careful what you say, or you'll get struck by lightning..."

Yamato Gansuke: "..."

"You should keep an eye on those detectives who came with you!" He took a deep breath and couldn't help but retort.

"My concerns were indeed valid; you can't even control their behavior..."

Lin Xiaofeng said calmly, "It's best not to be too confident in your plan."

... 0th

Yamato Gansuke: "..."

"It seems your colleagues think so too..." Lin Xiaofeng tilted his head.

"Huh? What..."

Yamato Kansuke was taken aback. Following the gaze, he saw the police officer he had contacted earlier rushing towards them with a canvas and an umbrella.

One of the officers was holding a black jacket.

A string of black lines appeared on Yamato Kansuke's forehead.

...What's going on?! That clap of thunder was one thing, but why are these guys always so eager to please? Now they're offering me a coat—are they trying to imply they're physically weak?!

His brow furrowed deeper, and as the officer approached, he immediately snapped, "Who told you to bring this? Do I look cold?!"

"Eh???"

The officer looked bewildered and quickly explained, "Inspector, you've misunderstood... I found the jacket on a tree branch on my way here."

This is so awkward... Yamato Kensuke's lips twitched.

Lin Xiaofeng remained unmoved and asked, "Is it wet?"

The officer said, "No... there's only some dew on it."

"cough!"

Yamato Kansuke cleared his throat. "I...I understand...It's about to rain. Go over there and use the canvas to protect the scene. This jacket should be evidence, as expected."

"Physical evidence?!" The monk-headed police officer exclaimed in surprise.

Before he could explain, Yamato Kansuke shouted, somewhat embarrassed and angry:

"Get over there right now! If the place gets wet from the rain, you'll be sorry!"

"Oh, oh, oh..." The police officer didn't dare to delay and ran away immediately after being yelled at.

481. What's wrong with you?

In the bedroom, after waiting for the distraught Torada Naonobu to fall asleep, Torada Tatsuei quietly left through the back door, used his mobile phone to contact the villagers he had assigned for profit, and had one of the hunters take a hunting rifle.

It took nearly an hour to gather manpower and prepare weapons.

In the woods.

The sudden sound made Torada Tatsuei freeze in shock.

Immediately afterwards, in the cold night wind, a gun barrel slowly extended and pressed against Torada Tatsuei's head from the side.

Lin Xiaofeng said, "Following you all the way has been quite easy. It seems you really don't dare to use lighting tools."

"It's you……"

When Torada Tatsuyoshi saw Lin Xiaofeng clearly, he was initially taken aback, but after calming down, he sneered: "What? You think you can be a hero all by yourself? Do you dare to fire a shot?"

He spoke with great conviction, but the subtle trembling between his legs was still quite noticeable.

Lin Xiaofeng said, "Let's confirm one last thing... The one who killed Kai Genjin of '6' six years ago was actually you, right?"

It turns out this person wanted to know about Kai Genjin...

Torata Tatsuyoshi was unsure of Lin Xiaofeng's attitude, and tentatively asked, "What do you want if I say yes?"

“Not so great. I respect the local laws.” Lin Xiaofeng said, then handed the gun barrel forward again.

"..."

Torada Tatsuei remained silent for a moment. Deep down, she wanted to deny it, but in front of so many of her 'underlings,' she dared not give the order to 'ignore me and kill this guy,' nor dared to lie and lower her authority. She could only grit her teeth and say hatefully:

"That's right! It was me! I originally wanted to hurt that guy, but who would have thought that he would fall off the cliff with his horse... Hmph, what's ridiculous is that when I was about to check on his condition, a few more people suddenly ran over, acting as if they were the murderers. I could only hear Yoshiro's voice among them. Later, he kept saying that he was going to call the police, but as soon as he went out, he encountered a tornado!"

"Oh……"

Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly: "You didn't know who was with him that day before. Is the reason you suddenly killed Ryuo Koji 6 years later because he recently brought up the matter of calling the police again?"

“Yes! Killing a detective is no small matter. Once the police launch an investigation, everything will be over…”

Torada Tatsuei paused for a moment, then said, "You know everything now? How about we cooperate? Put your gun down first..."

The Temple of the Gods (VIII) (IV)

"Then you all swarmed in and took care of me too," Lin Xiaofeng added.

"..."

Torada Tatsuei was silent for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Of course not... You know that detective and the police officer, killing you wouldn't do us any good..."

"How could you lie?"

Lin Xiaofeng interrupted, "Isn't it precisely because I know them that we can't leave them alive?"

"you!"

Torada Tatsuyoshi's eyes were fierce as he growled, "This is your own doing! Put the gun down right now! This shotgun can only hold one bullet. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape!"

"More people?" Lin Xiaofeng chuckled lightly. "Why do you think I'm talking to you about this? Well... of course, saving time during the subsequent statement taking is one aspect, but the main reason is out of caution..."

"what?"

Torada Tatsuei was startled, and a bad feeling inexplicably arose within him.

“Skirt-wearing police! Department…[…only 10 people, have you already issued the warrants?” Lin Jiu Xiaofeng said.

He just finished speaking.

clap clap clap...

Rows of beams of light converged, instantly illuminating the area.

In the tea room of the Ryuo family's residence, where the "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain" banner hangs.

Kazuha Toyama, Heiji Hattori, Kansuke Yamato, Yui Uehara, and Ayaka Ryūo stared at each other in silence.

Another ten minutes passed.

It was already past midnight.

Finally, Ayaka Ryūo couldn't help but say, "Um... Officer Yamato, just as you said, I know the cause of Kai-senpai's death. But, will Mrs. Torada really come to kill me?"

If this question had been asked two hours ago, Yamato Kansuke would have scoffed at it and coldly warned the 'bait' in front of him not to ask any more questions.

But now...

My legs are almost numb from sitting, and now they're numb from standing! Why hasn't Torata Tatsue shown up yet?

Does this mean she's not planning to kill Ryūo Ayaka...?

impossible.

Based on the information provided by Yi, which I have repeatedly verified over the past few days, I can confirm that the woman is indeed using the selection gambling of the Ryūbōma.

Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori were equally puzzled and confused by the current situation. To be fair, Yamato Kansuke was indeed a ruthless man… To avoid alerting the enemy, aside from Yui Uehara, who knew some of the inside story and volunteered to protect Ayaka Ryūo, they didn't bring a single policeman.
