He became a god in Japan starting with the bear disaster.

Chapter 22 The Zhang Family OR Moving House

The three sat around a round table.

"Shuichi, you might not know this, but I also had a fever while you were unconscious these past few days. Shiori took care of us all by herself in this big house, doing all the little things like checking our temperatures, giving us IV fluids, and feeding us. You should really thank her."

"Iseki Jin smiled."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't be sure who can be trusted, and the butler and maids might leak information."

Shiori explained with a blank expression.

So, in that case, she was the one who took off my underwear...

Looking at the serious and aloof girl, Lin Xiuyi felt a strange sensation. He thanked her and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Shiori."

It felt weird not wearing underwear; his waistband always felt cool.

"Just call me 'Sakai'."

Shizhi frowned.

Sakai must be her surname. This surname is not very common, but Lin Xiuyi felt that it sounded familiar.

"However, now that the killer's case has been investigated and the suspect behind it has been apprehended, we can leave."

Isshiki Kin looked at Lin Xiuyi, as if asking for his opinion.

"Has it been resolved?"

Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but be surprised.

He had thought this might remain a cold case. After all, the other party had clearly come prepared that day, with meticulous planning and preparation. Even if they ultimately failed, they must have had a backup plan. Yet, the case was solved within a week. When did the Japanese police become so efficient?

"Yes, it's natural that things were resolved quickly because QED was brought in to help."

Iseki Jin explained.

Lin Xiuyi was completely confused. What was this "QED" organization? He had never heard of it before.

"You don't even know who QED is? That's incredibly stupid."

Sakai Shiori made no attempt to hide her inexplicable hostility towards him.

"Shiori, you can't talk like that. Shuichi doesn't care about these things anyway," Isshiki Kin quickly defended Shuichi, trying to smooth things over, and continued, "QED is actually a detective's code name. This detective is currently ranked number one on the world's detective list, and his crime-solving abilities are outstanding. This case was solved with QED's help."

It turns out they hired a famous detective to solve the case. While the Japanese police are incompetent, the detective business is thriving—that makes sense now.

Lin Xiu nodded. "That's great news. I have no objections and can leave anytime."

He really wants to go home and find a pair of underwear to wear.

"In that case, I'll call a driver to come and pick us up and take us back to Yokohama."

Isshiki Jin stopped stirring the tea in her cup with a small spoon and took out her phone.

Lin Xiuyi turned her head to look at the bright sunshine outside the window, gazing at the beautiful mountains in the distance, and asked, "Where are we now?"

"This is an old house of my family in Guandong. The mountain you see is Mount Dayue."

Sakai Shiori gave him a cold reply.

There are many mountains in Japan named "Ōtakeyama," but there is only one located in the Kanto region. Hideaki Hayashi happened to know about this Ōtakeyama, which is located on the border between western Tokyo and Yamanashi Prefecture. It is one of the "Okutama Three Mountains" in the Okutama area, with an altitude of 1,200 meters. It is said that you can see Mount Fuji and the Tokyo metropolitan area from the top of the mountain.

It's quite a famous mountain climbing spot, and Sakai Shiori's family actually has a "Western-style old house" at the foot of the mountain. It seems that Isshiki Kin's friend is not simple either.

Isshiki Jin answered the phone, said hello, and then hung up. "The car that's picking us up will be here soon. Shiori, do you want to come along?"

"No, you can go."

Sakai Shiori shook her head. She glanced at Hayashi Shuichi, her face showing disgust, and said something puzzling: "I think we'll be seeing each other quite often in the future."

She really disliked herself. However, if she were a woman, she would probably dislike a strange man too if she had to change his underwear and wash him. Lin Xiuyi said she could understand her to some extent.

Although he only helped because of Isshiki Kin, she still helped him. He might be able to repay her someday if the opportunity arises.

A black luxury sedan stopped in front of the mansion.

Isshiki Kin helped Hayashi Hideichi slowly into the back seat, and after saying goodbye to Sakai Shiori, closed the car door.

The driver, displaying exceptional professionalism, started the car without uttering a word and drove away from the estate where the villa was located.

In the back seat, Lin Xiuyi and Yise Jin looked at each other in silence.

Despite what had happened, Lin Xiuyi was at a loss for words.

How can I explain that I predicted the shooting of Isshiki Kin in advance?

How do I explain that I suddenly had a burst of inner strength and defeated a crazy motorcyclist with a gun?

Seeing his conflicted expression, Isshiki Kin smiled, took his hand, and said softly, "I'm always right about people—Shuichi, you really are a remarkable person."

The girl gently stroked Lin Xiuyi's hand to comfort him, "I'm actually a very sentimental person. I don't need to know so many facts to dispel my doubts. Right now, I only need to be sure of one thing—"

She pressed her eyes close to Lin Xiuyi's eyes, "Lin Xiuyi, you are my savior."

Yise Jin showed him her seriousness, as well as another kind of emotion that Lin Xiuyi could not understand.

"..."

For the first time in his life, Lin Xiuyi felt his face burning. He moved to the side to create some distance and said, "I understand."

He was still more used to Isshiki Kin, who was completely without her own ideas when she was being chased that day, like a doll that allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

Seemingly not wanting to embarrass him, Isshiki Jin's serious expression quickly disappeared, and another smile that Lin Xiuyi was somewhat familiar with appeared on the girl's pretty face. "By the way, Xiuyi, this matter is not completely over yet."

She smiled brightly, as if she were delivering good news: "That hitman on the bike escaped, didn't he? The police still haven't found any trace of her."

"She actually dared to shoot a police officer, she's a madwoman, but wasn't she chased away by Shuichi? She might even be thinking of getting revenge on Shuichi..."

Hearing her tone, Lin Xiu felt a sense of unease and didn't respond.

"My old address has been exposed, but I'm already prepared to move to a new place. But it's not safe for Shuichi to continue living in that unsecured area of ​​Kotobuki-cho, is it?"

Isshiki Kin smiled and leaned in again. Lin Xiu tried to back away, but Isshiki Kin leaned in again. Lin Xiu finally braced her elbow against the other car door, with nowhere to retreat... She could only let the other person press her lips to her ear.

He spoke with a subtle yet distinct, irresistibly alluring voice that made one itch from the inside out:

"Shuichi, my house is quite big...why don't you move in?"
