Chapter 191: Hot Spring Travel
Dianshan Thirteen still pleaded guilty in the end.
Before being lifted on a stretcher by first responders in the ambulance, he told the truth about his killing:
It turned out that Himeno Yayoi was not satisfied with the current state of extramarital love, and wanted the junior to take the throne, forcing Yoyama 13 to divorce his wife.
But Dianshan Thirteen only wanted to "play" with Himeno Yayoi and didn't want to marry her home.
The contradiction between the two continued to intensify, and in the end, the ruthless Dianshan Thirteen planned such a murderous trick and sent his mistress to a dead end.
"Sure enough, it's because of emotional problems." Lin Xinyi muttered to himself with some emotion.
"This kind of lustful middle-aged man who is unfaithful to his wife is himself scum." There is always a hint of meaning in Fei Mi's bland words.
"Miss Himeno is so pitiful." Maoliran's gentle tone was full of sympathy.
"When you are a junior, you will end up like this." Gray Plains whispered sadly.
"Uh-huh." Conan nodded in agreement, his eyes still glancing at Lin Xinyi.
Lin Xinyi disdained to worry too much about this little vinegar jar, and turned his head to Mao Lilan and said:
"Miss Maori, the follow-up of this case will be handled by you."
"I still have something to do, so I'll go home first."
As an eyewitness and investigator, it stands to reason that Lin Xinyi should have to follow the large team of the forensic division that had just arrived to do further detailed investigation work, and then return to the Metropolitan Police Department to cooperate with the record.
But now, the case has been solved, and he is not so concerned.
Lin Xinyi still wanted to go home early to study biology, and this kind of trivial matter of cleaning up the aftermath would be left to his assistant lady.
And Maoriran, as always, did not disappoint him.
She did not suspect that the teacher's request was just for herself, but responded very cheerfully:
"No problem, Mr. Lin, if you have something to do, you can get busy first."
"Leave it to me here, and I'll take care of it for you."
"Hmm." Lin Xinyi nodded with satisfaction, said goodbye to Xiaolan's mother politely, and was about to turn around and leave.
Miss Gray Plains quietly followed.
And before the two of them had time to get out of the café, Lin Xinyi faintly heard that Mao Lilan behind him was talking to Fei Mi:
"Mom, can't you think about what I told you before?"
"Impossible." Fei Mile replied very firmly:
"That's your father's class reunion, what am I going to do in it?"
"I've had nothing to do with that man for a long time, and besides, I still have work to do tomorrow."
"Unlike that idle guy, your mother and I are very busy."
"Mom..."Maolilan was a little embarrassed.
She tried hard to bring her separated parents back, but in the past ten years, the two of them have drifted apart.
"Don't talk about it anymore."
Concubine Mile bypasses the topic lightly:
"You've got a job to do, don't you?"
"These officers from the forensic section are waiting for your command right now—"
As she spoke, she also sighed approvingly:
"Xiaolan, in terms of the identity of the policeman, you are already stronger than your father back then."
"Also... It's not that powerful. ”
"Those colleagues will only listen to my command for the sake of Mr. Lin's face."
Hearing his mother's affirmation and praise, Mao Lilan couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Unconsciously, she forgot that the topic she was going to talk about at the beginning had been completely deviated by her eloquent mother.
But Lin Xinyi took what he had just heard to heart.
It's not that he cares about the relationship between Maolilan's parents and his parents, what he really pays attention to is...
"Tomorrow? Uncle Maori's class reunion? ”
Lin Xinyi suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He immediately turned his head and asked in a low voice to Gray Yuanai, "Xiao Ai, is your school still closed tomorrow?" ”
"Hmm." Gray Yuan nodded a little puzzled.
"Oh no," Lin Xinyi's heart sank.
Then, without waiting for Xiao Ai to ask questions, he hurried back back and returned to Mao Lilan and Fei Miao.
He directly looked at everyone's puzzled gaze and asked straight to the point, "Are you going to Uncle Maori's class reunion tomorrow?" Does Conan go too? ”
"Uh..."Maolilan was confused by the question, but still replied truthfully: "Conan, he also went, what's wrong?" ”
Lin Xinyi: "......"
What's wrong?
Miss Maori, if you hang out with Conan lately, you're going to run into dead people.
Don't you think there's anything wrong with it now?
Lin Xinyi was a little helpless, so he had to ask again: "That... Where is your meeting, in Tokyo? ”
"It's not." Mao Lilan shook his head: "It's in Tochigi Prefecture." ”
"Tochigi Prefecture..."Lin Shinichi didn't know where this Tochigi Prefecture was, but when he heard it, he knew that it wasn't in Tokyo.
In this case, even if there is a murder, there should be no need for him, the management officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
It's not something he needs to worry about from the perspective of the jurisdiction's obligations, it's just...
"It's a human life after all..."
"Is it possible to prevent a murder in advance, as it was in the previous mountain villa?"
Lin Xinyi thought with some concern.
He couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to carefully instruct Mao Lilan:
"Miss Maori, you should also bring the forensic investigation box and the on-site investigation box this time."
"I'll say hi to the police dog department and ask Caesar to come with you."
"Remember, if you notice something wrong with someone beforehand, you have to keep an eye on it."
Lin Xinyi's tone was very solemn, but Mao Lilan reacted with a strange expression after a while:
"Mr. Lin... You don't think I'm going to get a murder again, do you? ”
"What happened last time at the villa in the mountains was just a coincidence."
Her tone was a little unconcerned, and Lin Xin emphasized:
"It's better to be careful."
"After all, Miss Maori, you often get into murders, don't you?"
As he spoke, he also quietly glanced at Conan next to him, who was the culprit.
"Hmm... It seems to be too. ”
Maolilan was said to be a little suspicious:
When I used to be with Kudo Shinichi, I always encountered murders.
Later, Shinichi disappeared, and she was "alone" outside, still seeing dead people every once in a while.
As soon as this simple controlled experiment with variables removed was done, the results were somewhat meaningful.
Could it be that the real Heavenly Evil Lone Star is not Shinichi, but her Maolilan?
Miss Himeno, who died in the café today, was also affected by her bad luck?
Thinking about it, Miss Maori began to have some self-doubt, and even feel guilty.
"I'll take care of it, but..."
She thought about it seriously, and finally invited Lin Xinyi very formally:
"Mr. Lin, why don't you go with us tomorrow?"
"If there is really a murder this time, Mr. Lin can solve the case early."
"This..."Lin Xinyi hesitated: "This is your father's class reunion, it's not appropriate for me to go, right?" ”
"It's okay." Mao Lilan said very generously:
"We were meeting at a hot spring inn in Tochigi Prefecture, and the view was nice."
"Mr. Lin, if you go along, you should go on a hot spring trip."
"Also, Tochigi Prefecture is not far from here."
"Even if something happens here in Tokyo, Mr. Hayashi can come back quickly."
Saying that, Mao Lilan also explained to Lin Xinyi a little bit about the specific location of the destination of this trip:
It turns out that Tochigi Prefecture is also part of the Tokyo metropolitan area, and it takes an hour and a half to drive from Yonehanamachi to the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway.
Coupled with the forensic class and the new forensic doctor Asai Narumi, even if a case occurred in Tokyo when Lin Shinichi went on a trip, he couldn't delay the on-site autopsy.
"That's fine."
can try to prevent the murder from happening, and you can also go fishing for a vacation by the way, Lin Xinyi also thinks this proposal is good.
It's just that a hot spring trip... How much does it cost?
Lin Xinyi, who was shy in his pocket, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
But the empathetic Miss Maori quickly read the teacher's mind.
Because Kudo told her about Lin Shinichi's performance when he took a taxi, Mao Lilan vaguely knew that his teacher might be poor.
"If Mr. Lin goes, the cost is not a problem."
Mao Lilan said this, and his eyes quietly looked at his mother.
Concubine Mile immediately showed the demeanor of a rich woman, and echoed indifferently:
"I'll pay for Mr. Lin's travel."
"You have taught my daughter so many things, and this little money is my gratitude."
Hearing this, Lin Xinyi suddenly had no worries:
"That's good... Thank you, Aunt Concubine! ”
"......" The corners of Fei Mi's mouth twitched slightly: "Actually, Mr. Lin, you don't have to call it so formally." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Mile!"
“...... Never mind. Fei Mile gave up struggling.
After discussing the plan to travel together and getting the funds for the trip, Lin Xinyi had nothing else to say.
He thanked the rich Aunt Mile again, said goodbye again and again, and finally officially left the café.
And at this time... The corner of his coat was suddenly tugged.
Lin Xinyi stopped and looked down with some confusion:
I saw that Miss Gray Yuan was tugging at the corners of his clothes tightly, and her tender little face was cold, like a calm lake that had just snowed.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xinyi was a little puzzled.
Gray Yuan's tone was light, but his words were full of concern: "Why do you have to go out on a trip with that woman?" ”
"I..." Lin Xinyi really didn't know how to explain it.
Gray Yuan Wai and Conan didn't deal with much, and I'm afraid it's still difficult to understand the "metaphysical" laws he summed up from the great detective.
And he was hesitating, only to hear his little girlfriend say coldly:
"I've heard that Tochigi Prefecture is famous for its natural hot springs."
"And some hot spring inns with a relatively long history have so-called..."
"Mixed bathing."
Miss Grayplain's tone became extremely dangerous.
is so dangerous that a sluggish guy like Lin Xinyi can hear the unhappiness in his girlfriend's words.
"Mixed baths? And Miss Maori? ”
"No, no, no... That's what Conan did, I really didn't mean that! ”
Lin Xinyi explained in a panic with scarce words.
"Hmph." Miss Gray Plains snorted softly.
Seeing her boyfriend's hurried appearance, her eyes were a little gentler.
"Still, you can't simply let you go on vacation with that woman."
Gray Yuan Wai held his chest with both hands, which had nothing to hug, and said to Lin Xinyi in an unquestionable tone:
"I'm going on a hot spring trip tomorrow too!"
