Kyokichi Ishimoto analyzed the two consecutive murder cases.

"Therefore, the two victims who appeared in succession are connected, and both were after this diamond!"

Kyokichi Ishimoto turned his gaze to the three detectives, wanting to hear their opinions. However, the three detectives were also completely baffled, and Kyokichi Ishimoto couldn't help but chuckle.

……

Back at the hotel, Lin Xiaofeng saw Xiaolan waiting for him and went up to give her a hug.

"I haven't slept all night, Xiaolan, will you sleep with me for a while?"

"Ah, Xiao Feng, you're so bold to do this in front of so many people."

Xiao Lan noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, and she couldn't help but blush.

"What does it matter? You're my girlfriend now."

Upon hearing this, Conan was filled with despair. Ran was already Lin Xiaofeng's girlfriend!

"What's going on? Little Fengmeng, Little Lansan, are you two already lovers? Just..."

"Yes, Conan. Xiaofeng and I are already a couple," Ran said happily to Conan.

"How could this be..." Conan was stunned. He was still fantasizing that his Ran and Lin Xiaofeng were just friends, but in fact they were lovers.

Kogoro Mouri was also taken aback when he heard this. It turned out that his daughter did not fall in love with the previous high school detective Shinichi Kudo, but fell in love with the current high school detective Xiaofeng Lin.

"Lin Xiaofeng, watch your mouth, you and my daughter, right in front of me!"

Thinking that his daughter had fallen for Lin Xiaofeng, Kogoro Mouri felt heartbroken, after all, she was the daughter he had raised with his own hands.

Lin Xiaofeng immediately gave Mizunashi Rena a look.

After understanding, Rena Mizunashi extended an invitation to Kogoro Mouri to drink.

"Detective Mori, why are you meddling so much in children's affairs? I'll just have a drink with you."

"Drinking? Great!"

Kogoro Mouri immediately shifted his attention, ignoring Lin Xiaofeng and his daughter, and focused on drinking with Rena Mizunashi.

Now that things have come to this, it's only natural that Lin Xiaofeng would take Xiaolan back to his room. What this means, Conan, the famous detective, certainly understands!

"No, Sister Xiaolan, please don't..."

Conan tries to stop Ran from getting back to his room, but Lin Xiaofeng takes him back to his room and they start making love.

Upon seeing this, Amuro Tooru immediately hugged Conan into his arms.

"Conan, disturbing couples on their dates will get you taken advantage of by Lin Zhu. Promise me, Conan, you won't be a gold digger."

122. Injecting genetic material

With Amuro Tooru around, Conan couldn't ruin Lin Xiaofeng and Xiaoran's good time, so he immediately went to ask Kogoro Mouri for help.

"Uncle Mori, Lin Xiaofeng has taken Ran back to her room. Uncle Mori, you must stop Lin Xiaofeng!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately hesitated, wondering whether to stop them. Even if Ran and Lin Xiaofeng were already dating, wouldn't it be too early to start exercising?

"Are all young people these days so carefree? When I was young, I couldn't compare at all," Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself.

Rena Mizunashi kept urging Kogoro Mouri to drink.

"Detective Mouri, times have changed. We can't cling to outdated ideas. We need to give children more space."

"Yes. Miss Mizunashi, you're right. Let's continue drinking!"

Kogoro Mouri, still reeling from the humiliation of being outdone by Rena Mizunashi the previous night, was determined to get revenge. Unfortunately, he underestimated the capabilities of the CI17A agent.

Conan was devastated when he saw that Kogoro Mouri was completely ignoring him.

"If even Uncle Mori couldn't stop it... my little Ran-neechan must be being harassed by Lin Xiaofeng right now..."

Conan couldn't bear to imagine his beloved Ran being posed in all sorts of embarrassing positions by Lin Xiaofeng...

Just as Conan guessed, Ran was being put into various embarrassing positions by Lin Xiaofeng... Well, Conan is truly a great detective; he deduced everything correctly.

Conan's silly deductions: How exactly will Lin Xiaofeng deal with Ran, while Lin Xiaofeng is currently committing a crime against Ran...

Lin Xiaofeng and Xiaolan played for a while, then got tired and took a nap together.

Lin Xiaofeng yawned, released his girlfriend who was still asleep in his arms, and swayed as he got up. He had slept for 3 hours, which was enough to make up for the rest he had missed by staying up all night.

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at the time; it was just six o'clock, and the sun hadn't completely set yet.

As I drew back the curtains, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden glow upon the mountain behind the hotel, the sunlight brutally transforming the leaves into their own color.

Downstairs were a flurry of police cars, and the investigation seemed to be ongoing, which was not unexpected for Lin Xiaofeng.

The production team is now completely unable to conduct normal filming.

"Well……"

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Xiaolan propped herself up on one hand and sat up. Lin Xiaofeng's movement and the sudden glare of sunlight woke her up.

"what time is it?"

"6 point."

"It's already 6 o'clock?"

Xiaolan jolted awake and instantly became clear-headed.

As she spoke, she put on her clothes and quickly ran to the mirror to do her makeup.

"I need to go back to my room to get my cosmetics."

"Xiaolan, do you still need cosmetics?"

"She's your girlfriend now, so of course you should pay attention to how you dress."

"I'll go with you."

Leaving the room, the corridor was dark and quiet. The hotel should have just started to get busy at this time, but because of the murder, the police had cordoned off the scene.

After Xiaolan returned to her room and finished her makeup, Lin Xiaofeng and Xiaolan went downstairs to meet up with everyone for dinner.

"Amuro Tooru, why are you alone? Where's Conan?"

"Conan went back to sleep."

"Why don't you need to sleep?"

"Uh... I actually accidentally fell asleep in the courtyard last night, hahaha..."

"You can even fall asleep in the courtyard, that's really impressive."

Lin Xiaofeng was speechless. No wonder the murderer was able to commit the crime last night; it turned out that Amuro Tooru, who was keeping watch in the courtyard, was asleep.

At dinner time, in addition to Conan's absence, Kogoro Mouri was also absent.

"Rena, you have a really good alcohol tolerance. You've drunk Detective Mori under the table again."

"Detective Mouri, a typical Japanese man, loves to drink more the more he eats food."

Rena Mizunashi looked disdainful, saying that Rena Mizunashi had a terrible alcohol tolerance and loved to show off.

Xiaolan deeply sympathized; her father had nothing to do all day, so he would deliberately get drunk and live a life of debauchery.

“Rena-neechan, my dad is such a bad drinker, he needs to be taught a lesson. After losing to Rena-neechan in a row, I think he will never be able to drink again.”

"I was worried that you would blame me, Xiaolan, for making your father lose face."

Rena Mizunashi and Ran became good friends, which pleased Lin Xiaofeng greatly. He then took the opportunity to invite the two girls to play together.

On Lin Xiaofeng's other side, Amuro Tooru, with a fried chicken cutlet in his mouth, said indistinctly, "Lin Xiaofeng, you have no idea how surprised those people were when I told them about the discovery of the diamond!"

"You've already told everyone, aren't you afraid the Inspector will blame you for leaking secrets?"

"I'm too grateful to thank you. This is a necessary step in finding the culprit. I'm certain the culprit is in the hotel."

Under police surveillance, only a few detectives were allowed to move freely.

Around noon, Amuro Tooru deliberately spread the news that the police had found diamonds inside the body, causing a huge uproar.

For Nichiri TV, diamonds are big news, so the program team was eager to include the 300-carat diamond in their recording.

Kyokichi Ishimoto, of course, disagreed. All indications pointed to the fact that both cases were related to diamonds, which were evidence, and evidence cannot be exhibited.

Because the detectives were also at a loss, the case reached a stalemate and made no breakthrough. Ishimoto Kyokichi had no choice but to have the body taken away to the hospital for examination using more professional equipment.

Diamonds were deliberately left in the hotel, as Kyokichi Ishimoto was trying to lure the murderer out.

123. The truth behind the theft and murder cases: a one percent probability.

Midnight.

The guests in the bathhouse gradually left. Since there weren't many guests, the hotel staff also went off work early, took a bath, and returned to their dormitories.

The locker room door was pushed open, and Ishimoto Kyokichi walked in with a serious expression, looking around.

After changing his clothes, he hid the bag containing the diamonds in the deepest part of the closet. Only then was Ishimoto Kyokichi finally at ease. He walked to the door leading to the bathtub and, through the rising steam, saw two dark figures in the tub.

Are there other guests?

Kyokichi Ishimoto paused, instinctively turning around to ask what was going on, but before he could speak...

"Who is where?"

The people in the pool found him:

"Ishimoto Police Department?"

The speaker was Daisuke Aohara, and he was positioned so that he could see the doorway.

"Mr. Qingyuan?"

Ishimoto Kyokichi recognized Aohara Daisuke's voice. He spent a whole day recording it, comparing it to others. He said that the program crew members who were suspected of being involved in the incident were all deeply impressed, including Aohara Daisuke.

As he lived alone in a room, he was naturally a prime suspect, but the police did not find any direct evidence to convict him.

"As expected of Inspector Ishimoto, you're here for a bath too."

Daisuke Aohara grinned, raised his small sake cup, and warmly invited:

"Would you like a drink?"

"No alcohol consumption during work hours."

Kyokichi Ishimoto turned on the tap and began to wash his body. This is a rule for bathing in hot springs, including when a family of three uses the same tub of water. Before entering the bath, everyone needs to wash their bodies clean.

A few minutes later, Kyokichi Ishimoto finished cleaning himself, slid into the bath, put a warm towel on his head, and sat far away from Daisuke Aohara.

Aohara Daisuke swayed and stood up unsteadily: "Police Department Zero, I need to go to the toilet."

With unsteady steps, Daisuke Aohara entered the dressing room on the tiled floor and walked out without pausing.

Daisuke Aohara strode to the locker, rummaged through Kyokichi Ishimoto's clothes, and searched for diamonds.

Even if Ishimoto Kyokichi was foolish, he wouldn't be so foolish as to put diamonds in his locker. This is a basic level of security awareness for a police officer, but it caused Aohara Daisuke a lot of trouble.

"That idiot detective, did he forget to bring the diamonds?!"

While muttering curses under his breath, Daisuke Aohara quickly searched through the other cabinets. If he couldn't find the diamonds here, he would have no choice but to risk going to Kyokichi Ishimoto's room, steal the diamonds, and make a quick getaway.

Once he gets the diamonds, will he still care about the things in his house?

"Hurry, hurry up...~..."

Sweating profusely, Daisuke Aohara rummaged around for a few minutes before suddenly jolting. Trembling, he pulled a bag from the bottom of a cabinet in the corner. Overwhelmed with excitement, he immediately kissed the ground, muttering something under his breath.

"That's enough, Mr. Daisuke Aohara."

A loud voice rang out from behind him, and Daisuke Aohara turned around with lightning speed, his pupils suddenly shrinking:

"It's you! Where did you come from?!"

Aohara Daisuke couldn't understand it at all. He had clearly checked the changing room and made sure there were no traps before daring to steal, but Lin Xiaofeng still appeared like a ghost!

"That's not important. What's important is that you've been caught red-handed."

Lin Xiaofeng remained calm. Solving cases is easier by catching the perpetrator in the act, saving the trouble of complicated reasoning steps.

Aohara Daisuke pulled a gleaming dagger from under his yukata, pointing the tip at Lin Xiaofeng. A cruel smile played on his lips as he threatened, "If you know what's good for you, get out of my way right now, or else..."

"boom!"

Lin Xiaofeng's bullet punch hit Aohara Daisuke squarely, sending him crashing to the ground.
