Lin Xiaochen stared at him for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and reached out to the waiter's cheek.

The waiter took a half step back in panic and turned his head to avoid Lin Xiaochen's outstretched hand: "Sir, what are you doing?"

His tone was perhaps a little higher due to shock, and everyone's attention was attracted by his voice and they all leaned over.

Lin Xiaochen retracted his hand, and Xia Mu walked over with a frown: "What are you doing? Don't hinder the police in their investigation."

I don’t know who I’m talking about.

The waiter lowered his head and hurriedly said yes. Lin Xiaochen handed the document in his hand to Xia Mu with some resentment: "Take a look first."

Natsume took it suspiciously and suggested, "Hayashi, your hand isn't fully healed yet, do you want to go and rest for a while?"

It can also be considered an explanation for Lin Xiaochen's strange behavior.

Lin Xiaochen chose to go with the flow: "Okay, thank you, sorry." He nodded apologetically to the waiter, then took a step to the left and tried to leave.

However, before the waiter could say anything to accept his apology, Lin Xiaochen twisted his ankle and waved his right hand to try to regain his balance.

The waiter and Natsume hurried to help him.

Xia Mu held Lin Xiaochen's elbow: "Be careful, what's wrong with your leg?"

"It's okay, I just stood there for too long." Lin Xiaochen smiled at the two of them, but the smile in his eyes faded a little, "I'll go take a rest first."

As he spoke, he walked towards the single sofa, nodded to Yi Dahang, and sat down leisurely.

Date Kou had already confirmed the details of the case and was going to check the restroom and the locker room. Another police officer who followed him tried to contact the Metropolitan Police Department repeatedly but to no avail. He then collected information from the lobby and followed Date Kou.

Natsume also planned to check the surveillance. For a moment, Lin Xiaochen was the only police officer on duty in the lounge.

Fujiwara Mieko had just asserted that Lin Xiaochen was the murderer, but now she didn't dare to speak in front of him. Haiyue Harukei was not the kind of person who liked to join in the fun, and would not take the initiative to speak. Takei Yuriko was still immersed in sorrow, sobbing uncontrollably.

Maori Kogoro took the initiative to sit on another single sofa next to Lin Xiaochen and asked, "Is Officer Lin's hand injured?"

Lin Xiaochen nodded: "Yes, I accidentally fell and got hurt."

Kogoro Mori nodded, and after a few words of comforting them to be careful, the two fell silent again.

"Ah sneeze——!"

"You little brat, why are you here? Go back quickly!"

Kudo Shinichi ran back to the lounge at some point, and Mouri Kogoro scolded him in a stern voice, gave him a slap on the head, and then tried to pick up Kudo Shinichi and leave.

Kudo Shinichi burrowed into Lin Xiaochen's arms: "No no no, I won't leave!"

Lin Xiaochen helplessly patted Kudo Shinichi who was struggling in his arms and said, "I'll take him away."

As he said this, he picked up Kudo Shinichi with one hand and nodded to Maori Kogoro, "Please help look after this place."

Lin Xiaochen walked out of the lounge expressionlessly, gently put Kudo Shinichi on the ground, and said to him seriously: "Little guy, don't try to get in again! Go and gather with your friends quickly, I will never let you in."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly stopped and turned back to warn: "Remember, if you dare to make trouble or try to disrupt the order here again, the consequences will be serious!" Then he really walked away, intending to leave Kudo Shinichi alone standing there thinking about what to do next.

"Officer Lin, my nose is not feeling well. Can you help me take a look?" Kudo Shinichi called out to Lin Xiaochen and grabbed the corner of Lin Xiaochen's suit with his hand.

Lin Xiaochen suddenly stopped and slowly squatted down. He stretched out a hand and gently lifted Kudo Shinichi's chin, so that his face was facing him. His eyes were focused and sharp, as if he wanted to see something deeper through Kudo Shinichi's skin.

Lin Xiaochen carefully examined Kudo Shinichi's face, trying to find any unusual signs. He frowned and asked with concern: "Why are you feeling unwell? Do you have a cold? Or are you allergic to something?" His voice was low and gentle, with a hint of anxiety and worry.

Kudo Shinichi was startled by Lin Xiaochen's sudden action, but soon regained his composure. He shook his head and tried to break free from Lin Xiaochen's hand, but found that the other party was so strong that he couldn't move at all.

"I'm fine... just a little tired." Kudo Shinichi said to Lin Xiaochen, trying to keep his voice calm. However, his eyes flickered, as if he was hiding something.

Lin Xiaochen certainly didn't believe what Kudo Shinichi said. He stared closely at Kudo Shinichi's eyes, trying to find some clues from them. After a while, he finally said, "Tell me the truth, what happened? I don't like you lying to me."

Kudo Shinichi was nervous, because he knew he couldn't hide it from Lin Xiaochen. So he took a deep breath and said, "Officer Lin, don't you think the smell in the room is a little strange?"

Lin Xiaochen smiled gently at Kudo Shinichi, and the oppressive feeling just now disappeared in an instant: "Really? The smell of smoke is a bit strong. I'll take you out for some fresh air."

"No, no, Officer Lin, I've been to this room before, and it definitely wasn't this smell."

"You remembered it wrong, kid. This room was just put into use." Lin Xiaochen helped to straighten the wrinkled clothes. "If your nose still feels uncomfortable, I'll take you to the bathroom to rinse it with clean water, okay?"

Perhaps fearing that Kudo Shinichi would not agree, Lin Xiaochen pulled himself out: "My nose is not feeling well either, can you accompany me, kid?"

Kudo Shinichi nodded hesitantly.

Lin Xiaochen stood up, took Kudo Shinichi's hand and walked towards the bathroom.

The two walked through a dim corridor and came to the bathroom. Ida Ko and the other man were just coming out.

Ida Hang: "Does this kid have a stomachache?"

"My nose isn't feeling well. It's probably because the perfume is too strong. I'll bring it here to wash my nose. It will feel better. Can I use the bathroom?"

"No, we have to close the investigation." Ida Hang said sternly, "Have you forgotten everything you learned in the police academy?"

"Feel sorry."

"Hayasi, you don't look very energetic. You should rest well and return to Nagano as soon as possible." Ida Kou sneezed violently in the middle of his words.

"There is more than one bathroom in the villa. Let me go with you." Ida said.

The three of them washed their hands. Date Kou and Kudo Shinichi took out handkerchiefs from their pockets, and Lin Xiaochen shook his hands towards the sink.

Idahang put away the pink handkerchief made by his girlfriend: "Hayasi, where is your handkerchief?"

Lin Xiaochen: "I lent it to Miss Takei."

"Takei? Takei Yuriko?" Datehang asked.

Lin Xiaochen nodded.

"Is that the light blue one you used to wear in the police academy?"

It is sky blue.

Lin Xiaochen corrected himself silently in his heart: "Yes, there are auspicious clouds embroidered on the four corners."

Ida Hang looked a little strange.
