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

!! ?

The burly man instinctively turned around and saw a slender metal blade easily pierce through the thin roller shutter door, swiftly cutting a gap the size of a person in the sheet metal as if slicing tofu.

Looking out through the gap, a young man holding a staff and sword stood outside the roller shutter door.

The other person stood in the sunset on the street, tilting their head to look inside.

"This is the place, isn't it? Have you seen a female lawyer with chestnut hair?"

At the same time, on the top floor of the abandoned five-story building, in an empty room, a thin man and another rather muscular silver-haired man wearing a mask had already set up the camera and lighting.

In the center of the room was a chair, facing the camera and the lighting. Considering what they were about to do, it was obvious who this chair was for.

"Tsk, that fat idiot!"

After finishing the phone call, the thin man stomped his foot in frustration.

The silver-haired man noticed something amiss and turned his gaze toward him.

"what happened?"

"No... I clearly told that idiot Fatty to be careful, but he still got ambushed by that woman, and now he's disappeared without a trace."

"Ran?"

After listening to the thin man's explanation, the silver-haired man frowned slightly, but after thinking for a moment, his brows quickly relaxed.

"Looks like this lawyer, Fei, is quite capable. But it doesn't matter. No matter how she runs, she's still in this building. We'll find her eventually if we keep searching... Is Fatty still downstairs?"

“Yes, I told him, and he’s coming up the chain of command now,” the thin man said.

“Very good, then let’s start from the top floor and search down step by step.”

The silver-haired man gave a cold laugh.

"It's just a little entertainment before the main course. No matter how well she hides it now, she'll realize that everything she did before was in vain when we find out."

"Too."

……

On the other side, on the third floor of the abandoned low-rise building, Eri Kisaki found a suitable room.

It's clear that this used to be an office. Although it's now deserted, there are still many tables, chairs, and cabinets left in the room.

Eri found one of the larger cabinets, which was a quarter of a person tall, and had four large drawers inside.

She pulled out the inner drawer, hid inside first, and then moved the drawers back one by one.

Although the drawers couldn't be completely sealed because someone was hiding inside and taking up some space, the room was an abandoned office, and many other cabinets were scattered around like this, some even lying haphazardly on the floor.

A drawer like this, where it's not completely tucked inside and just a section sticks out, doesn't look out of place at first glance.

Furthermore, because there are gaps between the drawers, Eri can still observe the outside situation slightly due to the difference in viewing angle.

I wonder if Lin Jun will be able to find this place...

Thinking of this, Eri carefully took out her phone and glanced at it.

No new messages received; the message history ends with the last one received: "Take care of yourself, I'll be there soon."

Is it... still on its way? Or has it not been found at all?

Eri Kisaki pursed her lips and guessed.

"No, no...it's not here either!"

On the fourth floor, the thin man forcefully pulled open a cabinet door again, glanced at the empty interior, and slammed it shut.

He searched an entire floor and a half without finding the female lawyer, which gradually made him irritable.

After all, although the entrances and exits were sealed off, things are inanimate while people are alive. Allowing them to move freely for so long, who knows if they have already found a way out, or at the very least, they could have dug it out by hand.

We absolutely cannot let Eri Kisaki escape.

The skinny man knew this very well.

The other party is a legal expert. Once they escape, not only will their actions be exposed, but they may also face the maximum penalty of imprisonment.

"Still not found?"

Thinking of this, a deep voice came from behind him, belonging to a silver-haired man.

"N-not yet..."

The thin man didn't dare mention his suspicion that Eri Kisaki might have escaped; he just gave a hateful snort.

"Anyway, according to you, she must be in this building. We can search up here, and Fatty can search down to 513. We'll find her eventually."

"Then call him and ask where he's found it, confirm the remaining possible areas," the silver-haired man urged.

Okay, I understand.

The thin man took out his phone and dialed the number again.

This time, the call was answered every two seconds. Hearing the call connect sound on the phone, the already impatient and thin man couldn't help but speak up.

"Hey? How far have you found her? We've searched the entire fifth floor and almost half of the fourth floor, but we still haven't found that woman."

"..."

Unexpectedly, there was no sound from the other end of the phone.

The thin man paused for a moment, then impatiently urged him again.

"Hey? Say something! Why are you silent again? Did you get attacked by a woman again?"

beep.

There was no response, and the call ended.

The silver-haired man sensed something was wrong and asked warily, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"I don't know." The thin man still looked at his phone with a puzzled expression. "That guy didn't say anything, he just hung up..."

"Didn't say anything? That shouldn't be happening... Be careful!"

Before he could finish speaking, the silver-haired man suddenly roared.

The thin man was so attracted by his voice that he didn't react for a moment. When he turned his head, he saw a large piece of sheet metal, which looked like it had been cut from a roller shutter door, fly into the room and block his view.

Bang!

The bridge of his nose collided with the metal plate, and the thin man fell to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, a strange young man's nonchalant voice sounded from the room doorway.

588. Heheda

Yinglin Ling Xiaoyi Feng chuckled and said, "So there were only three of you in the whole house? I thought there would be at least a few more people... Don't worry, as for that fat guy you found, you'll be going down to see him soon."

"hateful!"

Upon hearing that his companion had been killed, the silver-haired man roared and charged forward, intending to use his physical advantage to stage a showdown where the brave would prevail.

However, the next second his vision suddenly shifted 120 degrees upwards, his jaw, which had been struck hard, shot upwards, and his whole body was contorted into a large C shape in mid-air. Then, with a thud, he fell backwards and landed on the back of his head, seeing stars.

Seeing that his companions were so strong they could be broken at the slightest touch, the skinny man realized there was no point in fighting with his small frame. He tried to close his eyes and play dead, but Lin Xiaofeng walked up and kicked him in the head.

A nosebleed was constant and a front tooth broke.

"Originally, according to my personality, I would have just sent you to meet the King of Hell and that would have been the end of it. However, I recently learned a new term called social death. You kidnapped a female lawyer with the intention of forcing her to film indecent videos in order to achieve your revenge. I believe that once you are charged with this crime, the rest of your lives will definitely be very exciting."

Twenty minutes later, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which had received the emergency call, quickly dispatched officers to Sudancho.

Police lights blared through the abandoned streets, and black and white police cars lined the ground floor of five-story buildings.

The team was led by Inspector Megure from the Third Division of the Criminal Investigation Department. Since the incident with Sawaki Kohei, he had quickly returned to his normal work routine.

As the sun set, the police inspector, dressed in a formal suit, directed his men to detain the three prisoners one by one.

The fat, thin, and white-haired men who had been clamoring for the female lawyer to strip naked and apologize not long ago were now like wilted eggplants, their previous arrogance gone. They obediently got into the back seat of the police car, each wearing silver bracelets on their wrists.

Not far away, at the garage entrance that looked as if it had been cut open by a sharp blade, Lin Xiaofeng and Fei Yingli stood side by side.

"Lawyer Concubine."

Inspector Megure walked over; he and Eri Kisaki were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Inspector Megure glanced again at the three people in the back seat of the police car, then turned to the female lawyer.

"Should we tell Mori-kun about this too?"

"Uh... eh?"

Eri Kisaki seemed preoccupied, and it took her two seconds to come back to her senses after Megure's voice came. She blinked as if waking from a dream, looked at the latter, and then turned to look at Lin Xiaofeng beside her.

Lin Xiaofeng wasn't in a daze. He had clearly heard what Inspector Megure had said, so he simply relayed it for him.

"Inspector Megure asked if we should also tell Uncle Mori about what's going on here."

"Oh, no."

Without the slightest hesitation, the female lawyer immediately rejected the idea.

“He is him, and I am me. I can handle my own affairs, so there is no need to talk to him.”

"That's...ok."

Inspector Megure nodded blankly, while inwardly sighing that although Eri Kisaki was a bit strong-willed, she was still a virtuous wife and loving mother at heart. Back then, Kogoro Mouri was the envy of the entire police station for finding such a wife, but after so many years, things had turned out like this.

I wonder when these two will make up.

"Then we'll take them with us for now. Contact us anytime if anything happens..."

"Ah, please wait a moment."

Before Inspector Megure could turn and leave, Eri Kisaki called out to him.

"what happened?"

"I was attacked at my own office. My assistant, Ms. Kuriyama, was also attacked. Did you...?"

"We've already sent someone to check on Ms. Kuriyama's situation at the agency," Inspector Megure explained. "The situation is relatively optimistic. The two attackers don't seem to have done anything to Ms. Kuriyama; aside from being slightly frightened, she hasn't sustained any other injuries."

"Really? That's good..."

Upon hearing that her secretary had not been implicated because of her, Eri Kisaki breathed a sigh of relief.

Having confirmed that there were no further questions, Inspector Megure slightly turned his head toward the police car.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Feel free to contact me anytime."

"Yes, I'll keep in touch anytime."

After a brief farewell, Inspector Megure quickly left with his men and the three suspects.

The deserted street was suddenly left with only Lin Xiaofeng and Fei Yingli.

"Jun Lin..."

Eri wanted to say something, but as soon as she spoke, she felt a sense of emptiness beside her. When she turned around, she saw that the other person had already walked to the red convertible Mazda and was looking in her direction with one hand on the car door.

"Aren't you getting on the bus?" Lin Xiaofeng tilted his head.

"……coming."

The female lawyer paused for half a second, blinked, and quickly followed with small, quick steps.

Sitting in the sports car, Lin Xiaofeng started the engine and closed the convertible top. While the top was rising with the electric motor, he asked a question.

"Eri, are you going straight home or back to the office?"

"I……"

Eri hesitated again.

She didn't answer the question, and after a moment of silence, she pursed her lips.

"Instead of that, Mr. Lin, could you answer one question for me first?"

"what?"

How did you find me back then?

Eri Kisaki immediately sensed something was amiss after asking the question.

Even though they had just been rescued, they immediately started asking how the other person found them, making it seem like they didn't trust the other person and were questioning whether the other person had planted a tracking device on them.
