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

What if this could leak intelligence...?

Speaking of which, the fact that this detective from Nagano Prefecture is staking out this place proves that his judgment is the same as ours. According to this logic... Lin Xiaofeng should also be nearby.

Kazuha Toyama whispered, "Hey, Heiji, why don't you call and ask Lin Xiaofeng?"

"……All right. .... "

Heiji Hattori hesitated for a moment before taking out his phone, which was on silent mode. There were no missed calls or unread emails on the screen.

It seems that Kazuha's side hasn't encountered any problems...

As he thought about it, he opened his contacts.

This action immediately alerted Yamato Kansuke. "Hey! What are you doing?"

If he hadn't been unable to predict when Torata Tatsuyoshi would appear and worried that the two children would ruin his ambush plan if they went out, he would have driven them away long ago.

Hattori Heiji pondered for a moment and said, "Officer, don't you think there's something strange about this? When I went outside to check the situation earlier, the rain had already stopped. Once the rain stops... no matter how careful the murderer is, they will still leave traces on the muddy ground that are not easy to erase. If the situation is really as you said before, they would never miss such a good opportunity."

"That's right."

Yamato Kansuke gave a noncommittal reply, then frowned and said, "But what I want to ask is, who are you planning to contact?"

"Of course it's Lin Xiaofeng..."

Hattori Heiji sighed, "Well, I can't explain this in just a few words. Anyway... since Lin Xiaofeng hasn't shown up yet, it means he's either in trouble or he's already solved it."

Well……

Upon hearing this, Yamato Kansuke was speechless for a moment.

If trouble arises, it's indeed inconvenient for me, as a criminal police officer, to intervene. But if the trouble is resolved... is that Detective Lin really that capable?

He looked down at the armor he was wearing, which he used for camouflage in version 1.4.

The opponent was an unspecified number of organized crime groups. Even his original plan was to take Torata Tatsuei hostage when they were off guard, buy as much time as possible, and allow the firefighters waiting outside the village to cooperate with the operation.

How could Detective Lin have done it alone... He must have taken my advice and is probably asleep by now...

Thinking of this, Yamato Kansuke couldn't help but drift off into a daze.

Beside him, Hattori Heiji, who had already made the call, let out a startled exclamation, pulling him back to reality:

"Huh??? Lin Xiaofeng, what did you say!"

Everyone turned to look at the sound, and saw that the dark-skinned boy had a very interesting expression on his face, showing shock, bewilderment, relief, and a hint of loneliness...

"Yes, that's right... I'm at Longwei's house, oh... I see..."

A few seconds later, Hattori Heiji hung up the phone, shrugged as he met the gaze of the other person, and said:

"Lin Xiaofeng said that Hu Tianda Rong and her men have been arrested."

482. Lin Xiaofeng plans to have three palaces and six courtyards.

The next day.

The festival proceeded as scheduled, but the selection competition for the yakubura horse archer was postponed for a few days.

Linghua, incidentally, introduced Uehara Yui to Lin Xiaofeng.

Alright. Yamato Kansuke was unwilling to accept Uehara Yui, preferring that she marry someone else. So heartless, Lin Xiaofeng reluctantly accepted Uehara Yui as well.

"Huh? Ayaka and I are going back to Tokyo together."

Yui Uehara was surprised; she hadn't expected this.

"Yes."

Lin Xiaofeng has three wives and six concubines, plus two widows, it doesn't matter. With great power comes great responsibility. Lin Xiaofeng keeps Spider-Man's teachings in mind. He welcomes all beautiful and kind women, no matter how many there are, he is willing to take care of them.

……

Tokyo.

"That's fine. Lin Xiaofeng, you are officially certified as a consultant to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"In other words, I'm not just a high school detective, but also an unofficial consultant for the Metropolitan Police Department."

"That's right, Brother Lin. I'll have to take care of you in the future."

For this, Mumu Thirteen also presented Lin Xiaofeng with a certificate to certify his contribution to the peace of Tokyo.

"Congratulations, Lin Xiaofeng! You've actually become a criminal consultant..."

At this moment, Sato Miwako walked over, smiled, patted Lin Xiaofeng on the shoulder, and teased, "But now we should call you Advisor Lin Xiaofeng, right?"

"Okay, stop teasing me..."

Lin Xiaofeng chuckled and waved his hand.

"However, Brother Lin Xiaofeng, you are indeed our youngest advisor."

"Jingle Bell!"

Just then, a noisy telephone ringing suddenly came through.

Lin Xiaofeng turned his head to look in the direction of the sound and saw a telephone on the desk making a ringing sound.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure's expression immediately darkened.

Could it be another murder... Why did it have to happen right when my brother Lin Xiaofeng started working?

Brother Lin Xiaofeng, you've really been infected too deeply by that guy Mori's bad luck, haven't you?

After joining the company, won't the probability of becoming a victim increase significantly?

The silence lasted only a moment. Coming to her senses, she stepped forward and answered the phone: "Yes...this is Megure..."

"Yes!"

After a brief exchange, Inspector Megure responded seriously, then sighed and turned to Lin Xiaofeng: "Advisor, it seems you're already handling a murder case right after joining the company..."

Lin Xiaofeng was taken aback: "A murder case?"

"We'll discuss the details on the way..."

Without uttering a word, Inspector Megure waved his hand and began hurriedly taking stock of his men, preparing to head to the crime scene.

This time, Lin Xiaofeng was accompanied by Inspector Megure and Miwako Sato.

The police car, sirens blaring, rushed to the scene of the crime.

The crime scene this time was located near Shimokitazawa Station in Shimosetagaya Ward.

By the time everyone arrived at the scene, the nearby wooden shopping street was already engulfed in flames.

People from the surrounding shops ran out of the fire, their instinct for survival making them disregard their appearance, pushing and shoving each other, creating a chaotic scene.

Tall flames leaped and roared, while several fire trucks were parked nearby, and firefighters wearing heat-resistant suits and carrying oxygen tanks were doing their best to extinguish the fire.

A series of arson attacks?

Lin Xiaofeng raised his head, looked at the towering flames, and narrowed his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the case involving the murder of Sato Miwako's father, Sato Masayoshi...

The fire burned for a short while before it quickly came to an end.

After a whirlwind, those distinctive wooden houses had long since been burned to ashes.

After the flames subsided, officers from the First Investigative Division who were investigating the arsonist began to examine the fire scene.

Generally speaking, in such situations, there shouldn't be any forced acts.

Since someone died at Damco, they have to take responsibility.

Only then did the group have the opportunity to step forward and examine the victim's body.

Fortunately, the fire was brought under control.

The appearance of the corpse is passable; some details can be discerned.

This was confirmed by forensic experts.

The deceased died from excessive blood loss after being stabbed in the chest with a sharp weapon.

Blood was still flowing continuously from the wound on his chest.

This proves that the body had only recently died.

"The body was not far from the fire's origin... According to the arsonists, this fire was a series of arson attacks, and the fire started over there."

Inspector Megure surveyed the crime scene, his gaze lingering on a particularly badly burned area: "It seems this fire is connected to this murder."

"Could it be that the victim discovered the murderer was setting a fire, and the murderer chose to kill in order to avoid being exposed?" Sato Miwako speculated.

"..."

Lin Xiaofeng stared at the corpse in front of him without saying a word.

That's how it should be according to common sense, but this is rice cakes...

Isn't it common to find one or two corpses on the streets of Mikasa?

It would be truly frightening if this thing didn't exist.

However, this time, 327 did indeed turn out exactly as they had deduced.

The victim must have discovered the killer's actions, which is why he was stabbed to death.

One could say that the police's IQ has increased slightly, but not by much.

As for the murderer, he was still certain.

After all, aside from arson, that guy was also a murderer during the mission.

At this moment, Inspector Megure suddenly turned his head: "Brother Lin Xiaofeng, what do you think?"

"Um……"

Lin Xiaofeng murmured another word, then turned his gaze to the corpse: "Judging from the distance from where the fire started, and the wounds on the victim's body, I think you're right. The deceased did discover that the guy started the fire, which is why he was killed."

"Is that so?"

Inspector Megure withdrew his gaze, his expression calm.

But in reality, at this moment, a strange sense of accomplishment suddenly welled up in his heart.

That means he finally stopped being criticized by the detective and reached an agreement with the detective's thoughts and opinions!

"If that's the case, then the perpetrator in this case should be someone who committed arson and murder in quick succession..."

Inspector Megure twitched his chin.

He secretly felt that he was about to steal credit from his colleague again.

"Looks like we'll have to go with the arsonists to search them for information when we get back."

"I think for a moment and then I say," said Miwako Sato.

483. Working for someone else is out of the question; embezzlement is more likely.

Upon returning to the Metropolitan Police Department, Megure immediately went to the arson division to hand over the documents.

The department head, Inspector Megure, was an acquaintance of Megure, so after expressing his dissatisfaction, the data was handed over to Megure.

After obtaining the information, Inspector Megure took Sato and Hayashi Kofu to a conference room to discuss the case.

According to the case files, this is the fourth arson attack in the series.

The first case occurred in Ikebukuro, the second in Asakusabashi, the third in Tabata, and the fourth in Shimokitazawa.

Because of the methods used by the perpetrators, the police searching for the arsonists quickly identified the perpetrators of all four cases as the same person.

However, since the location of the arson was not closely related to the time, they were unable to identify the suspect for the time being.

Lin Xiaofeng stared at the information on the small drawing board and recalled some things.

If he remembers correctly, the perpetrator of this series of arson attacks was a psychopath.

The locations of arson also follow certain patterns.

However, as of now, there is no discernible pattern.

Finding the other person is indeed a bit difficult.

The discussion of the case ended quickly, and Lin Xiaofeng also received a consultant's badge, which allowed him to freely enter and leave the Metropolitan Police Department.
