Yuanshan and Ye quickly figured out that the "family" in Hattori Heiji's mouth actually meant that he also worshiped under Lin Xinmen.

This news is more reassuring than it sounds literal....

That's weird!

"How can you rest assured..."

And Miss Ye clearly understands that the situation has become more serious with the naked eye:

From today on, Heiji Hattori and Moriran are the same door.

Their life goals, professional directions, and career choices are all the same, and they are likely to follow Lin Xinyi to solve cases, study in college, and work together in the future.

What is the childhood sweetheart who has been with him for more than ten years, Mao Lilan and Hattori Heiji, who have become senior sisters and brothers, will be tied together for the rest of their lives.

The distant mountains and leaves are completely downwind.

And she couldn't do anything.

She could only cry silently without tears, Miss Maori, who was loved by her family, was "domineering" in her childhood sweetheart's home.

Especially at the dinner table, Moriran's exquisite cooking completely conquered the Hattori family and won a lot of appreciation.

She seems to be the protagonist today.

In contrast, Toyama and Ye are like transparent people, and they can't find any sense of existence at all.

"It's over..."

"Uncle Heizou and Aunt Jinghua have also fallen!"

"Whether it's cooking with my aunt or being a guest at home, it's obvious that I came first!"

After dinner, Miss He Ye collapsed weakly on the sofa like a salted fish.

She lost so badly.

The other party is an all-round player who is good at reasoning, housework, cooking, fighting, and tea art, and he can't compare to that Maori lady except for his face.

"Let me win at least once..."

The distant mountains and leaves groaned powerlessly in despair.

"Heye, are you here to play mahjong?"

Her Aunt Jinghua sent an invitation to form a team:

"With Heiji and Miss Mori, we can get together a table in the evening."

"Mahjong?"

Miss Heye, who was red-eyed, quietly clenched her fists:

"I'm fighting—"

"No matter what it is, let me win at least once!"

.............................

Late at night, on the mahjong table.

Maoliran's face was full of red light, and his eyes were full of unfinished taste.

It wasn't until she saw Toyama and Ye's suffocated black faces that she realized that she seemed to be playing a little high...

I forgot to politely let my opponent win a few handfuls like a certain world No. 1 table tennis team.

"No, I'm sorry..."

Mao Lilan scratched his head a little embarrassed:

"I seem to have had a lot of luck today."

"Humph!"

He Miss Ye snorted coldly, got up and left directly.

Her face was extremely ugly, and she walked with a thump, sounding like Gomera entering the city.

"Hey, Heye, you're not playing?"

Hattori Heiji instinctively wanted to stop his childhood sweetheart, but Miss Kazuha instead sped up his pace and left angrily.

"I seem to have made Miss He Ye unhappy..."

Maolilan muttered to himself with some guilt:

In fact, she knew what Yuanshan and Ye were thinking.

She has also been thinking of finding an opportunity to show kindness to the other party.

It's a pity that mahjong is so much fun.

I can play it by accident, so that I and Miss Ye... Lost into a dog.

"Looks like I can't play anymore today."

"Also, playing mahjong with Miss Maori is indeed a bad choice."

Hattori Shizuka smiled helplessly, got up and said:

"It's not too early, let's go back to our rooms and rest!"

"I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare rooms for all of you, Miss Maori, you can find a maid and ask them, and they will take you back to your room."

"Okay." Maolilan nodded.

She said goodbye to Hattori's mother and son, and after leaving the "chess and card room", she didn't rush to find her room, but went to the bathroom first.

After a while, when I walked out of the bathroom...

Suddenly, he heard an extremely slight crunching sound—it sounded far away, as if it were breaking glass.

"What was broken?"

She was curious, but she didn't think to investigate.

But after a while, when she was wandering around the house to find a servant to ask for directions, she found that everyone was rushing in the same direction.

Mao Lilan had no choice but to follow and have a look.

When she came to the scene, she happened to bump into the distant mountains and leaves who came in a hurry.

"With Miss Ye, I want to talk to you."

Mao Lilan wanted to take the opportunity to have a good chat with the other party and resolve the conflict between the two.

"Hmm..."Yuan Shan and Ye responded absentmindedly.

Then she quickly turned her head, ignored Maolilan, and followed her into the room where everyone had gathered.

It is a private collection room filled with all kinds of pottery, vases, and bonsai.

And on a booth in the middle of the collection room, where the vase should have been placed, there was only a pile of scattered fragments left.

"My white porcelain arabesque vase!!"

Hattori Heizou shouted angrily, and even the mustache at the corner of his mouth trembled with anger.

"Oops..."

"That's Dad's favorite white porcelain arabesque vase!"

Hattori Heiji stood beside Lin Shinichi and said with a strange expression:

"In his eyes, this thing is closer than my son!"

"So exaggerated?"

Lin Xinyi looked at the pile of debris curiously.

He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any difference between these inconspicuous little porcelain pieces and the plates he used for dinner at night.

"Who the hell did this?!"

Hattori Heizou looked around the scene in a rage, and frightened several of the servants present into not daring to look up.

Until I saw Lin Xinyi, and Mao Lilan, who had just arrived at the scene...

He suddenly reacted to his gaffe:

"Ahem... I'm sorry, I'm a little excited. ”

Hattori Heizou soon reverted back to the calm and majestic head of the prefectural police headquarters.

It's just that there is always a distressed taste in his eyes:

"This is really my favorite collection... It's a pity. ”

"But, alas..."

"Whoever breaks it admit it to himself, as long as you have the courage to admit your mistakes, I won't do anything to you."

Hattori Heizou still came up with the measure of a big man in the end.

But under his second glance, no one present was willing to admit it.

“......”

Hattori Heizou's brows furrowed slightly:

He was very distressed when the vase was broken.

But he couldn't accept that there was that kind of guy in his family who didn't take responsibility.

And just when his heart was slightly disgusted, Hattori Heiji's voice suddenly became serious,

"Wait, Dad, it doesn't seem that simple."

"Look, the windows over there have been smashed too!"

"Oh?" Hattori Heizou calmed down.

He was too excited about the vase just now, but he forgot to observe the scene.

Following his son's guidance, Hattori Heizou soon saw the glass window that was also smashed:

The overall structure of the glass window is still good, except that there is a small hole in the middle of the window, and there are cobweb-like cracks spreading around the small hole.

"Is this..."

Hattori Heizou's expression suddenly became serious:

"Bullet holes?!"

The marks on the glass looked too similar to bullet holes.

The police are a hated profession, and Hattori Heizou's first reaction was that among the many cases he had handled before, which prisoner had been released from prison to take revenge on him.

"No, it's not a bullet hole."

Lin Xinyi shook his head, relieving the suddenly tense atmosphere.

He walked over to the glass window and carefully observed the broken lines on the glass:

"It's some kind of small object, a crack that occurs when it hits the glass at high speed."

"Characteristically, the most obvious difference between it and bullet holes is..."

"There are more and denser 'concentric rings' around the cracks around the bullet holes."

"Concentric rings?" Heiji Hattori was a little curious.

"yes, Heiji, you come and have a look."

Lin Xinyi unconsciously taught the newly recruited student:

"When a bullet, or other object, passes through the glass at high velocity..."

"The first thing left is the hole, and then there are lightning-like 'radial lines.'"

"And a little later than the formation of radial lines, there are spider web-like 'concentric ring lines'."

"Hmm."

Hattori Heiji carefully observed the glass:

"There is indeed a concentric ring around the hole, but it is not very dense."

"Because the object isn't fast enough."

"At least, it's nowhere near as fast as a bullet."

Lin Xinyi explained seriously:

"The faster the object flies, the more concentric rings will form as it passes through the glass, and the denser and more distributed area it will be."

"Conversely, the force is small, the speed is low, and the concentric rings are sparse."

"As for the broken glass in this place, the distribution area of concentric rings is not large, but the number is not particularly small..."

"It means that the object is flying at a speed far less than a bullet, but it's definitely not slow."

"It's hard for a person to throw at that speed."

"Uh..."

He paused slightly.

Thinking of Miss Maori, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but add:

"It's hard for a normal person to throw at this speed."

Speaking, with experience, Lin Xinyi roughly speculated:

"Someone who shot a stone in with a slingshot."

"The stone went through the glass and smashed the vase in the center of the storage room."

"Slingshot? Practical joke? ”

Heiji Hattori doesn't quite agree with such speculation:

His family lived in a mansion with a courtyard outside it with high walls and iron gates.

The doors are closed at night, can there be any little ghost who can't come in over the wall and play a prank?

"Let's look for the 'stone' that smashed the vase first!"

"When you find that 'stone', it's not too late to continue speculating."

As soon as Lin Xinyi said this, he smiled and said to Hattori Heiji:

"It's just right, exercise your ability to participate in on-site survey work."

"In the scientific on-site investigation work, the police officer responsible for the on-site investigation should scientifically divide the investigation area according to the spatial distribution of the scene, the display of items and other elements in the scene."

"Determine the order of investigation, the area of responsibility of each person, and..."

He wasn't done yet.

I saw Hattori Heiji bend down and touch it, and picked up a small stone from the ground:

"Mr. Lin, this should be the 'stone' we are looking for, right?"

Lin Xinyi: "......."

He's kind of convinced of these detectives.

You don't need to know anything about scientific investigation, as long as you go to the scene, you can jump the clues in your hand.

"Well, that's it."

Lin Shinichi took the stone from Hattori Heiji's hand.

And all the time I heard this, Hattori Heizou didn't seem to be distressed about the vase anymore.

He looked at his detective son with great interest, following Lin Xinyi to learn to use science to analyze the traces of the scene, and his eyes couldn't help but be full of relief.

"Exactly..."

"Lin Administrator, Pingji."

Hattori Heizou said with interest:

"Just think of this as a practical exercise—"

"Use the power of forensic science to find out the prisoner who smashed the vase!"
