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

The other three shared the same sentiment, saying that making such a joke was like trying to scare people to death.

"Heh, she hasn't changed at all, still a lady who loves to dress young. But even Princess Teitan can't deny getting old." Eri Kisaki composed herself and said something that sounded like a provocation to Yukiko.

"Oh dear, I'll return that to you exactly as it was, you old queen with conservative makeup?" Yukiko retorted sarcastically.

Xiaolan ran to Lin Xiaofeng's side and complained to him about Yukiko: "Xiaofeng, Aunt Yukiko is really something, making jokes like that, it scared me to death."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and replied, "That's always been Yukiko's personality, Ran, you know that."

"Yukiko-neechan? You've started calling her 'neechan' now, you wouldn't actually have an affair with Aunt Yukiko, would you?" Ran glanced at Lin Xiaofeng with a warning look. Ran, who couldn't even accept her own parents' divorce, absolutely couldn't tolerate Yukiko and Lin Xiaofeng cheating on each other. The boy she liked was with her childhood friend and mother—this story was too outrageous, and Ran couldn't accept it.

"Oh. Aunt Yukiko is so vain, she wants me to call her 'older sister'."

"Oh, I see. I'll call Yukiko 'Auntie Sister' then." With the misunderstanding cleared up, Ran smiled like an angel. "But this kind of joke really went too far. Luckily it was just a joke, or I would have been so upset."

"..." Conan remained silent, his face showing great displeasure. He thought to himself that he needed to find an opportunity to warn his mother that she should never make such jokes again!

"Ah, so you must be Mr. Kudo's wife, Yukiko Kudo?" A stylish man with a mustache suddenly stepped forward and looked at Yukiko. "I am Fujieda Shigeru, who entrusted Mr. Kudo to solve the mystery of this incident."

"That guy said he couldn't get away again and would have his wife come in his place. I never expected her to be such a beauty."

"Thank you so much!" Yukiko excitedly covered her cheeks. "This is high school detective Hayashi Kofumi. I specifically asked him to assist me."

"Mr. Lin, I'm counting on you this time."

"You're too kind, Mr. Fujieda."

Lin Xiaofeng and Teng Zhifan shook hands politely.

……

"Ten million yen!" Yukiko was shocked when she heard from Fujieda Shigeru that Kogoro Mouri had pulled so much money out of Fujieda Sukasa's pocket. She turned to Eri Kisaki and whispered, "Eri, is your Kogoro really that good at swindling money?"

"What do you mean 'my Kogoro'? Kogoro and I separated a long time ago. If it weren't for Ran begging me..."

Eri's face immediately darkened. Then, as she followed Fujieda Suka and Fujieda Shigeru back to the study, she quietly told Yukiko what Kogoro Mouri had done.

Playing pachinko, gambling, buying horse racing tickets...

"Eight million yen has already been spent!" Upon hearing this outrageous figure, Yukiko broke out in a cold sweat. Why keep a husband like this around instead of divorcing him immediately?

"I only came here as an agent because Ran begged me," Eri explained to Eri.

"Then, where is Kogoro Mouri himself now? Why didn't he come along?" Yukiko asked with a wry smile, expressing her sympathy for Eri Kisaki.

"I got completely drunk at the detective agency, and now I can't even remember what happened," Eri sighed helplessly.

"Heh, heh heh..." Yukiko could only respond with a dry laugh.

"What's the story behind Lin Xiaofeng, the high school detective who replaced Shinichi Kudo? How did you manage to get his help? Where did Shinichi Kudo go?"

"Shinichi Kudo is busy with a case and can't leave. Lin Xiaofeng is Shinichi Kudo's classmate, so I thought of asking Lin Xiaofeng for help."

"I'm asking you, Yukiko, you didn't really have an affair with your son's classmate, did you?"

"How could that be? Am I that kind of person? Eri, we've known each other for decades, don't you know me?"

"Yukiko, your ideas are always so imaginative, I can't be sure about them."

"Haha... I'm a good woman, I would never betray my husband."

Yukiko desperately wants to prove her innocence in front of Eri Kisaki. She doesn't care about her other best friends, but in front of Eri Kisaki, her special best friend, Yukiko must maintain her perfect and righteous persona.

Conan was equally puzzled as to why his mother would ask Lin Xiaofeng for help. Logically, she should have asked him, her own son, for help.

Ran occupied one side of Lin Xiaofeng, and Conan ran to the other side of Lin Xiaofeng.

"Brother Xiaofeng, why would Sister Yukiko ask you for help?"

"Conan, you should ask Yukiko-neechan this question, not me."

"Uh... well."

Conan felt he was increasingly unable to understand Lin Xiaofeng, and at the same time, he felt Lin Xiaofeng was becoming more and more dangerous, especially after the "Maple Leaf Coin" incident and the "Shenlong" incident. Perhaps, from the very beginning, asking Lin Xiaofeng to help investigate the Black Organization was a mistake.

Conan was planning to take this opportunity to talk to Yukiko and get her away from Lin Xiaofeng.

80. What is a mother trying to achieve by comparing her looks with her child's classmates?

Upon returning to the study, Yukiko immediately spotted the two sealed notes and a bullet.

“I see.” After taking a few glances, Yukiko nodded seriously. “Finding these things in the room of the head of the family, Mikio Fujieda, for three consecutive days does not seem like a simple prank.”

“However, we only have these three pieces of evidence, and because the Fujieda family lacks awareness of protection, all of these pieces of evidence are rendered useless.” Eri Kisaki sighed and said, “It would be a miracle to find out who the culprit is under the current circumstances.”

“But…” Yukiko suddenly smiled mysteriously, then put her arm around Lin Xiaofeng’s shoulder, “With Lin Xiaofeng here, we can definitely create a miracle!”

"Yes, yes." Lin Xiaofeng laughed awkwardly. Yukiko didn't even try to avoid suspicion; now she was really going to be suspected.

Seeing how intimate Yukiko was with Lin Xiaofeng, the three of them instantly had complicated thoughts.

Yukiko was completely unaware, and her delicate body involuntarily rubbed against Lin Xiaofeng's body, entirely unconsciously and voluntarily.

Oh no, I feel so hot. I really want to hug Lin Xiaofeng... No, I can't do that.

Yukiko bravely supported her beliefs with her willpower and separated from Lin Xiaofeng. Her ultra-thin skin-colored pantyhose under her skirt were soaked.

"In short, the most urgent task now is to find the person involved and find out if there are any clues about the suspect who wanted him dead."

Yukiko said this in a very serious tone, demonstrating the excellent professionalism of an actress.

"Excuse my intrusion," Butler Ueki suddenly interrupted Yukiko, "My master is currently in the listening room listening to classical music while reading. I'm afraid he won't come out for at least an hour or two."

“That’s right! If you disturb Mikio while he’s studying, he’ll get very angry!” Fujieda Suka shrank back as if she had remembered something terrible and reminded him.

“Sigh…” Eri Kisaki looked at the two people in front of her speechlessly.

"But isn't it alright to leave him alone?" Yukiko asked doubtfully. "Isn't someone after him who's after him?"

"So, shall we go take a look?" Butler Ueki asked.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Yukiko asked, puzzled.

"There are cameras in this room. You can go to the monitoring room to see what's going on inside," Fujieda Shigeru explained.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going!" Yukiko urged.

Led by the housekeeper, the group arrived at the house's monitoring room.

From the monitoring room, Fujieda Mikio was sitting on a single sofa, listening to music, drinking tea, and reading a book.

Their relaxed and carefree demeanor made it seem as if their lives were not under threat at all.

"Hmm... this equipment works pretty well." Sitting in her chair, looking at the scene in the listening room on the monitor, Yukiko nodded.

"Who is usually responsible for inspecting this surveillance equipment?" Eri Kisaki turned to ask the butler, Ueki.

"It's me and the maids who take turns."

"Wait! There's someone in the courtyard!" Yukiko exclaimed in surprise.

"What?" Everyone crowded around nervously.

"Look, it's right here!" Yukiko said, pointing to a monitor in the lower right corner. "There's a figure wearing a beanie doing something there!"

"Ah...that person is our family's gardener, Mr. Doi," the housekeeper replied after clearly seeing the figure on the screen.

"What's going on? What's he doing there so late?" Fujieda Suka stared nervously at Tsuchio Kozo on the screen. "Could it be that he..."

“He’s tending to the garden, isn’t he?” Fujieda Shigeru defended him from the side. “After all, tomorrow is my late sister’s…birthday.”

Fujieda Shigeru looked a little sad.

"Excuse me, I have to go back to my room. I'll leave this to you, Mr. Ueki," Fujieda Shigeru said to Ueki's butler.

"Yes, please leave it to me."

"What a pity. It's rare to have so many beauties here, but I can't stay with you all a little longer." Fujie Shigeru said this lightly before leaving.

Fujieda Shigeru's words reminded Xiaolan of a past event.

"Yes, it's such a shame. Mom, Yukiko-neechan!" Ran sighed softly.

"Ok?"

"what?"

Eri and Yukiko turned to look at Ran with a blank expression, not quite understanding what she meant.

Lin Xiaofeng and Conan both looked at Ran with curiosity.

"Didn't you two compete for 'Miss Teitan'? It's such a shame it ended before the results were announced!" Ran sighed.

"Ah, about that..."

"The results are out."

"Both of them got exactly 10,000 votes." Kisaki Eri said with a smile.

“But it’s strange,” Yukiko said, tapping her chin with her finger. “There were 20,001 ballots available, but the most important vote was missing.”

"Back then, finding that last vote caused quite a stir," Yukiko said with a smile, as if recalling an amusing incident.

"Mmm! And then the beauty pageant awards ceremony was canceled." Eri Kisaki replied with a laugh.

Xiaolan seemed to remember something and looked at the two mothers.

“However, if there is that one last vote, Yukiko will definitely be the winner,” Eri Kisaki said.

· ······Requesting flowers· ···

"Eri won't lose!"

The two publicly praised each other in a commercial manner.

"Um, do the voting papers have a gold stamp on them?" Xiaolan asked again.

"Ah? Um..."

"That's the school emblem of Teitan High School..."

The two looked at Xiaolan with some uncertainty.

Could it be...

"That's it!" Ran exclaimed excitedly. "The last one was in the pocket of Dad's Teitan High School track jacket!"

“I saw it when I was sorting through old clothes. Oh, I see. That piece of paper was the one used to vote during the beauty pageant.”

Eri Kisaki and Yukiko's expressions changed instantly.

Eri Kisaki said coldly, "Considering that Kogoro Mouri is the key to victory, I have no desire to know the outcome."

Yukiko also looked bored: "With Kogoro Mouri becoming the deciding factor, even if we win, it will only be boring."

...... ..... 0

Xiaolan was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She thought to herself, "Is my father really that bad?" Thinking about it carefully, she realized he really was.

Conan's lips twitched. Uncle is really annoying.

Eri Kisaki pushed up her glasses and looked at Lin Xiaofeng: "Why don't we give the voting rights to Lin Xiaofeng? Lin Xiaofeng, you are my daughter Ran's classmate, and also Yukiko's son Shinichi's classmate. You can decide the winner between me and Yukiko."

Yukiko, brimming with confidence, winked at Lin Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, you'd better think it over carefully and vote cautiously."

Lin Xiaofeng was embarrassed. He really didn't want to do something so obviously risky and offensive.

Yuki's collar is a dream star, needless to say, she's one of the three most beautiful women in the world. But the flag, Princess Ying is no less impressive. A legal queen, she exudes the temperament of an intellectual woman.

The two are on completely different tracks and are not comparable at all.

"Both mothers are super cute, I can't vote, please don't make it difficult for me."

Yukiko and Eri Kisaki were both dissatisfied with Lin Xiaofeng's answer, which meant he had offended both women at the same time.

But there was no way around it; it was a doomsday question anyway, and we were doomed either way.

Lin Xiaofeng looked to Xiaolan for help, and Xiaolan immediately understood and stood up for him.

"Mom, Yukiko-neechan, you are both mothers of Lin Xiaofeng's classmates. What are you trying to achieve by making Lin Xiaofeng choose who is prettier?"

Yukiko was fine; she and Lin Xiaofeng were already like brothers, so she didn't feel anything was wrong.

Eri Kisaki was embarrassed. Yes, what was she trying to do? Comparing herself to Yukiko in front of her daughter's classmate was too strange.

Conan is sweating profusely, speechless. What kind of development is this?

"Hey, it's almost time to head to the monitoring room. You've already wasted a lot of time."
