Chapter 207 A challenge to Mao Lilan
The Asai family's villa.
Miyano Akemi was busy preparing dinner for a family of three in the kitchen.
Lin Xinyi, who had just returned, was holding a professional book and struggling to chew on knowledge that he had never learned before:
"When genomic DNA is treated with bisulfite, unmethylated cytosine is converted into uracil, while methylated cytosine remains unchanged."
"ah"
He had a headache and put down the book helplessly:
"Why is it so difficult? It's completely different from what I learned before."
"Damn it. If I had known better, I wouldn't have bragged and said I would publish a paper in the next few days!"
Because he had agreed to publish a paper on "Using DNA Methylation Differences to Screen Identical Twins," Lin Xinyi has been immersed in this painful study for the past few days.
It was only then that he realized how big the gap was between a small forensic doctor like himself, who earned a monthly salary of several thousand, and a university "forensic medicine expert" who could give lectures.
"You are so stupid."
Miss Haiyuan sat obediently next to Lin Xinyi, looking like a child being tutored by her parents.
But in fact, the status of the two is completely reversed:
“It takes so much effort to understand even the principles of bisulfite sequencing.”
"Lin, how did you graduate from Columbia University before?"
Hui Yuan Ai used her cold voice to say very heartbreaking words:
"Even if you are deliberately looking for a reason to stay with me for a little longer."
"The current learning progress is a bit too slow."
"Alas" Lin Xinyi sighed helplessly, like a scumbag who had given up his efforts.
And the feeling of tutoring poor students to study can make people's mentality explode.
Even if this idiot is actually her favorite boyfriend, Haihara Ai is a little impatient:
"Keep reading!"
Xiao Ai pushed the thick book back in front of Lin Xinyi, her cute little face full of majesty as a parent:
"If you don't understand this part thoroughly today, don't go to bed."
Maori Detective Agency.
"What? Is my reasoning wrong?"
Hearing the Conan kid's ruthless refutation, Hattori Heiji was immediately stunned:
"How can it be"
"A guy who studies professional books with Lin Xinyi and has such a close relationship with him."
"Who else could it be but Miss Maori who is his student and woman?!"
He said to himself in disbelief.
"Huh? Woman?" Mouri Kogoro's eyes narrowed.
Hearing Hattori Heiji so bluntly mention the relationship between his daughter and Lin Shinichi, as an old cabbage-raising father, he instantly jumped up from the sofa:
"Xiaolan, you haven't done anything excessive with him, have you?"
"Say, what are you talking about?"
Mao Lilan's face blushed slightly:
"Mr. Lin and I are just friends, not his woman!"
"That's good"
Mouri Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief, and then said earnestly:
"Actually, I already saw when we were at the hot spring hotel last time that that guy is indeed a good man."
"Dad, I won't object if you two fall in love, but"
"Hey, hey."
The Conan kid next to him turned green when he heard this:
What does it mean to not object to falling in love?
When did Lin Xinyi even win over Xiaolan's father? !
"Asshole." Conan gritted his teeth. He was already suffering from a severe cold and suddenly became even more dizzy with anger.
But Lin Xinyi was not present, and he could not output from a distance. In the end, he could only vent his anger on Hattori, the big-mouthed man who stirred up the trouble:
"You are a third-rate detective who came out of nowhere. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"
"With this level, how dare you say that you are as famous as Brother Shinichi?"
"Third-rate detective?"
Hattori Heiji was severely hit by the poisonous tongue of Conan’s children:
Could it be that I really made a mistake?
But the information clearly came from Mao Lilan's best friend, how could it be wrong?
Or maybe that manager Lin knew that I was going to duel with him, so he deliberately called and informed Mao Lilan in advance.
No way. Would a person of his level use such deceitful methods?
Hattori Heiji was a little puzzled, but in the end, he finally recognized the fact that Lin Shinichi would not come here.
"Ah-sneeze!"
Conan, who had a bad cold, sneezed, and then said to him angrily:
"You can't find Brother Lin Xinyi here, so you'd better leave as soon as possible!"
"Hmm" Hattori Heiji was silent for a while.
Then, he thought for a while and showed a warm and cheerful smile:
"It doesn't matter. I can't find the forest manager. It's better to talk to Miss Maori."
"What do you have to talk about with Sister Xiaolan?"
Conan, who has been suffering from green PTSD these days, suddenly became vigilant:
Who knows that Hattori Heiji is also a handsome guy, and he looks somewhat similar to him before.
"Haha. Children, don't have such objections to me!"
After being scolded by Conan several times, Hattori Heiji had a kind smile on his face.
He did not explain for the time being, but like a guest who came to visit, he politely took out a bottle of transparent liquid with exquisite packaging from his bag:
"I see you have a pretty bad cold too."
"Just in time, I have the special cold medicine I brought from Osaka with me. I can give it to you to try."
With that said, Hattori Heiji took out a cup and poured some "special cold medicine" into it.
Put it to Conan's mouth. Conan, who had a bad cold, asked dizzy:
Hey, it smells pretty good.
In a daze, he drank tons and tons of the "special cold medicine".
After drinking this, Conan's face turned red and his body collapsed precariously.
Mao Lilan hurriedly supported Conan's small body, allowing him to barely stand firm on his feet.
Then she turned back with some complaints:
"Hey, what did you give him to drink?!"
"It's Laobaigan from China, a famous wine with a history of 1,900 years."
Hattori Heiji replied with a smile:
"This bottle of wine is given to Uncle Maori as a gift."
"Next, I want to talk to Miss Maori about the duel with her."
"Duel?" Mao Lilan suddenly forgot about the wine: "Follow me?"
Her eyes were full of disbelief, but Hattori Heiji looked over with a very serious look:
"That's right, just with you."
"You are Mr. Lin Xinyi's disciple. If I defeat you, he will definitely express his feelings."
Hattori Heiji will be thinking about investigating Mourilan in the past two days, just for this reason:
Since Lin Xinyi felt that his strength was unacceptable and did not want to fight him, he would settle for the next best thing and attack Lin Xinyi's direct disciples.
As long as Mao Lilan agrees, he can follow Mao Lilan to the crime scene the next time the forensics department dispatches the police.
As long as he can arrive at the scene of the crime in time, he will be able to fly as high as the sky and let the fish jump in the sea.
Even if Lin Xinyi wanted to stop him, it was too late. The two masters and apprentices could only passively accept the challenge and engage in a reasoning duel with him.
"So, Miss Mao Lilan."
"I would like to challenge you as a famous detective in Kansai."
Hattori Heiji spoke seriously to Maori Ran.
And Mao Lilan stared at Hattori Heiji for a while:
This feeling really looks more and more like Kudo Shinichi.
They are all so keen on reasoning, and they regard reasoning as a game, trying to decide who wins or loses.
I don’t know if Xinyi is still the same as before, but Mao Lilan knows that she is different from before.
Now even if Shinichi is in front of her, she can teach him this lesson with confidence:
"Sorry, I refuse!"
"Our job is to convey the voices of the deceased, not to compete for victory or defeat."
"Solving crimes is not a game!"
Mao Lilan's voice was extremely firm, and there was a heroic spirit between her brows.
The kid Conan on the side, under the influence of alcohol, seemed to see something from his sister Xiaolan:
Xiaolan is born with gentleness and kindness.
Lin Xinyi is rigorous and serious in his work.
Firmness and confidence in making your own reasoning.
In short, Xiaolan now is very different from the one he knew before.
She is very handsome now.
Unknowingly, Conan's face turned even redder.
And Hattori Heiji seemed to be impressed by Mao Lilan's contagious and inexplicable temperament, and began to think seriously about Mao Lilan's words:
"Cracking a case isn't a game, isn't it?" He was vaguely touched.
But as a young and energetic man, even if his enthusiasm has waned, he will still be a little unwilling:
Reasoning, as an ability, obviously has high and low levels.
Everyone will unconsciously rank the various detectives in their minds. Is it really wrong for him to ask for a winner?
Hattori Heiji thought so.
The sound of hurried footsteps outside the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Is anyone here?"
A middle-aged woman wearing a coat and sunglasses, who was dressed very mysteriously, knocked on the door, opened the unlocked door, and walked straight in.
As soon as she walked into the detective agency, her eyes naturally locked on Moori Kogoro:
"You are the Maori detective who specializes in detecting cheating, right?"
Although Mouri Kogoro is not famous as a detective, he has never had the opportunity to investigate any criminal cases.
But when it comes to investigating affairs and handling family disputes, he has done an impressive job.
"This" Mouri Kogoro's expression was a little awkward:
"What does professional cheating detection mean? I can also accept other commissions!"
This is true. In addition to helping to detect cheaters and catch mistresses, he is more often helping people find cats and dogs.
"It's fine if it's you."
"It just so happens that I have some housework and need help from a detective like you."
The lady took off her sunglasses and said in a nonchalant tone:
"I am Mr. Ikemura, and my husband is diplomat Isao Ikemura."
"I want you to investigate my son's girlfriend."
