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

But now that the ventilation ducts have been found, we can only start with methods.

Fortunately, Aikawa Touya was very confident in his methods—in order to kill Su Fang Hongzi using that special method, he worked hard at the gym every day and developed a muscular physique.

In addition, there were more than 437 rehearsals in the past two months. Sometimes when the maids woke up in the morning, they found the masks in the masquerade hall crooked and disoriented because they had been secretly practicing this technique at night.

This technique is unique even in the talent-rich town of Mika, and Aikawa Touya is confident in it.

However, Lin Xiaofeng's next words caused Lan Chuan Dongya's heart to plummet to the bottom.

"Actually, you never even entered the secret room. You could have easily killed the person just by looking out from behind that sealed door."

……

Lin Xiaofeng led everyone to the room next to Su Fanghongzi's dormitory, which was also the room on the other side of the sealed door.

Here, Lin Xiaofeng had Gao Mu collect all of Xiao Bu'er's masks, thread them one by one through the new thin rope he found, and then throw them into Su Fang Hongzi's dormitory through the grid board that sealed the door.

This was a massive undertaking; the eyes and mouth of the mask needed to be strung together with two separate ropes, and then thrown over the doorway.

Since Conan was not tall enough to carry out this method, Lin Xiaofeng had to instruct Takagi Wataru to do it.

It takes Takagi Wataru at least fifteen seconds to complete each mask.

Based on reasonable calculations, completing all 200 masks would take 15 x 200 = 3000 seconds, or fifty minutes.

It's a rather long wait, and anyone would get bored, but the methods used in the case are hidden within it, so you can only watch with patience.

When Conan saw Takagi place the fourth mask, his eyes lit up and his mind went blank.

That's it!

With Lin Xiaofeng's prompting, Conan figured out the ins and outs of the method in less than a minute.

This strange and special technique of Ling Qimeng was actually cracked so quickly, you really are amazing!

Conan cast an admiring glance at Lin Xiaofeng, but Lin Xiaofeng didn't respond.

However, not everyone has Conan's boundless imagination, and they can only blindly and foolishly watch the techniques.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xiaofeng walked up to Koizumi Akako and whispered, "The Xiaobul masks here are all fakes. Go to the second-floor lounge and check if the 'Pale Mask' is there."

"Um……"

Koizumi Akako glanced up at the crime method still being prepared, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she had no choice but to get back to her business.

Lin Xiaofeng was quite at ease knowing that most of the people in the villa were on the third floor observing the crime, while Koizumi Akako was going to the second floor alone to use magic.

However, Lin Xiaofeng did not notice that Nagara Haruka glanced at Koizumi Akako, who was leaving alone, without leaving a trace.

……

One of the drawbacks of this method is that the preparation process is quite lengthy.

Even for Aikawa Touya, who is very familiar with "threading a needle", it still takes him more than half an hour.

Watching your most confident methods being gradually exposed is an extremely painful process, like being publicly executed.

As Takagi Wataru slowly threaded the string through the 59th mask, Aikawa Touya could no longer bear the psychological torment and confessed that he was the murderer.

In fact, Lin Xiaofeng didn't really plan to have Takagi put on all 200 masks; 100 masks would be enough as a token gesture.

Otherwise, by the time the criminal methods are ready, the mission time will have long passed.

"Twenty years ago, that woman killed someone in a car accident, but pinned all the blame on my mother, who was her assistant at the time. She even murdered my mother, making everyone believe that she committed suicide out of guilt!"

"I only discovered a hidden letter among my mother's belongings two months ago, which revealed the whole truth..."

Lan Chuan Dongya angrily confessed his motive for killing, and it was clear that he did not regret avenging his mother.

Lin Xiaofeng recalled the request Su Fang Hongzi had made to him and asked Katagiri Masaki, who was standing to the side with a surprised expression, "Was the person who died in the car accident twenty years ago your wife?"

“Ah, um…”

Katagiri Masaki nodded hesitantly in acknowledgment.

As the stiff-necked Takagi Wataru jumped off the chair, he handcuffed Aikawa Touya's hands.

At this moment, Koizumi Akako also returned. She first glanced at Aikawa Touya, who was wearing handcuffs, and knew that the case had been settled.

As they brushed past each other, Koizumi Reiko glanced at Lin Xiaofeng before walking over to his side.

"It's confirmed, it's in the safe in the lounge."

Lin Xiaofeng was overjoyed to receive confirmation from Koizumi Akako.

According to the previously signed agency contract, my task was to find out the details of Mrs. Katagiri Masaki's car accident before the charity gala was held.

He had just completed the commission and confirmed that Katagiri Masaki's wife was the person who died in the car accident years ago.

Furthermore, when drafting the contract, Lin Xiaofeng specifically instructed his secretary to add a clause at the end stating that the contract would not be terminated under any circumstances.

In this case, even if the client has died after the commission is completed, the remuneration stipulated in the contract must be deducted from the client's estate, rather than being voided.

I will have the right to that mask!

……

Taking advantage of Inspector Megure's presence, Lin Xiaofeng openly guessed the safe's combination using Su Fang Hongzi's birthday and obtained the mask.

After a few seconds, seeing the magic power value fluctuate, Lin Xiaofeng knew he was safe.

Because it is a 1:1 replica, this original Shambles mask is indistinguishable from the fakes displayed in the masquerade hall, except for some mottled bloodstains on it.

However, these aged bloodstains are not on the surface of the mask, but on the inside of the mask, near the mouth.

This means that when Sheubuhr Dresden committed suicide, he was wearing this very mask.

Perhaps Shebble had carved a total of two hundred genuine pieces during his lifetime, but the one he wore when he committed suicide is the only one in the world.

On the return trip, Lin Xiaofeng was still driving, while Koizumi Akako sat in the passenger seat, playing with the Shobul Mask in her hand.

"The 'Pale Mask' is in hand."

Koizumi Akako looked at Lin Xiaofeng with delight; she had truly fallen in love with him, and Kuroba Kaito was a thing of the past.

515. Little Feng's godfather has completely won me over.

One morning.

"Hey? Xiaofeng, are you up yet? Hurry up, turn on the TV and watch the news!"

Reading the news?

Although Lin Xiaofeng and this Miss Sonoko had known each other for quite some time and were considered close lovers, he still found it difficult to get used to her often nonsensical way of speaking.

Like now, generally speaking, who would call someone first thing in the morning and tell them to go read the news?

Is there really something that can't be said over the phone?

Lin Xiaofeng took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth, spat it out, and asked, "So what exactly is it?"

In his view, speaking frankly is a better way of communicating for both parties, but at this moment, Miss Sonoko on the other end of the phone thinks otherwise.

"Hey, don't ask, don't ask! It's Tokyo News Channel, Kaze, turn on the TV now and watch!"

tsk...

Shaking his head helplessly in his heart, Lin Xiaofeng mumbled "I know," and then simply took his toothbrush and went to the living room. While brushing his teeth, he picked up the TV remote from the coffee table and turned it on.

This TV is usually only used by Akai Mary, and Akai Mary mainly turns on the TV to watch the news, so the TV was on the news channel as soon as it was turned on.

The sweet voice of the news anchor emanated clearly from the television's built-in speakers.

"Recently, another major project of the Suzuki Foundation has been completed. The Suzuki, touted as the 'world's largest airship,' was completed yesterday. According to Jirokichi Suzuki, founder and special advisor of the Suzuki Foundation, the Suzuki's maiden flight will be held soon, with a flight test expected to last six hours, from Tokyo to Osaka..."

The world's largest airship, so what's the point of building such a thing? Is it just for fun and to show off our strength?

Feeling utterly bewildered, Lin Xiaofeng typed a question mark in the air, his voice mingled with the buzzing of an electric toothbrush.

"Ah, I see it! The world's largest airship or something, is this it?"

"Hmm~"

On the phone, Sonoko slightly elongated her nasal tone, her voice rising and falling with a touch of intonation.

"It's not over yet, keep reading!"

"And..."

Not wanting to hang up the phone directly, Lin Xiaofeng was forced to turn his attention back to the television.

The female host on the television screen, who had just finished introducing the various data of the airship, turned a page of her script and continued speaking with great enthusiasm.

"Furthermore, Special Advisor Jirokichi Suzuki expressed his hope to have a showdown with Kaito Kid during this test flight trip, with the Suzuki family heirloom, 'The Lady of the Sky,' as the wager!"

Damn, you're doing it again? You never learn your lesson, huh... Wait, you didn't even get to eat anything.

Lin Xiaofeng thought to himself.

Before he could even comment, Sonoko on the other end of the phone started urging him on triumphantly.

"What do you mean? Did you see that? Did you see that?"

"Yes, I saw it. They said they're going to have another go at Phantom Thief Kid."

Lin Xiaofeng looked away from the TV and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

Just then, the female host on TV, who was still reading Suzuki Jirokichi's declaration of war, suddenly stopped, and her gaze seemed to be drawn to the side.

?

This is a serious blunder that would be absolutely unacceptable during a news broadcast on an official television station, but it happened nonetheless.

Immediately afterwards, other TV station staff came up and whispered a few words to each other, then handed the female host a hastily printed news article.

The female host glanced at the script in her hand, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"Next, an urgent news briefing: Just last night, a bacteriological research laboratory in Nishitama City was attacked and destroyed by terrorists. The remaining bacteria have been eliminated in the fire, but some bacteria were stolen by the terrorists, who claimed to be a red Siamese cat..."

A red Siamese cat?

Upon hearing the name, Lin Xiaofeng felt a strange sense of familiarity for some reason.

It sounds like I've heard it somewhere before.

Just then, a British girl in pajamas yawned as she pushed open the half-open door to the guest room and entered. She glanced at the content being broadcast on the television and said indifferently.

"A red Siamese cat, what a nostalgic name."

"……what?"

Lin Xiaofeng didn't really hear what Akai Mary said, because just now, a loud, angry roar from an old man came from the phone next to his ear.

Then came Sonoko's slightly wry smile and apology.

"Sorry, sorry, that was my Uncle Jirokichi. He was watching TV with me, and he's getting angry because his headline news was cut off. I'll hang up now... Oh, by the way, don't forget the maiden flight is tomorrow at noon. Remember to come with Sera-kun!"

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

She hung up the phone after saying that.

Back in the bathroom, Lin Xiaofeng spat out the toothpaste foam and rinsed his mouth. When he returned to the living room, the news on the TV had shifted from terrorists to a science popularization about stolen bacteria.

The stolen bacteria were biological bacteria; those initially infected will experience redness, swelling, and itching in various parts of the body...

"The Japanese really are keen on researching these strange and unusual things."

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at it and shook his head.

.... ... ....

Although biological weapons are banned in the world today for being inhumane, the main reason they are banned is because they are difficult to deal with. If they are not controlled, they could drag the whole world down with them, and everyone would have to clean up the mess.

Moreover, it's not even guaranteed that it can be wiped clean.

“No, what I care about more than this is another matter,” Mary Akari pondered.

"The Red Siamese Cat was a long-established terrorist organization, but it was wiped out more than ten years ago, and all its key members were captured. Now it has inexplicably reappeared. Is it really that Red Siamese Cat?"

"Who knows..."

Meanwhile, in a villa in Tokyo with the name "Kuroba" on its doorplate.

In the living room, Kuroba Chikage, who had just gotten up, sat behind the dining table, her eyes fixed on the television screen, sipping her miso soup.

Sitting beside him was his beloved son, Kaito Kuroba.

"Huh? The Suzuki Group that they were talking about on the news just now, is that the Suzuki Group that you faced before, Kaito?"
