Conan: The Heart Thief

"Ah!" Takahashi Ryoichi looked down at his flat stomach and his expression changed immediately, "Damn it, I really can't let you live."

A hideous demon appeared behind Takahashi Ryoichi.

Lin Xiao still had some questions he wanted to ask Takahashi Ryoichi and had no plans to fight right now.

"Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi, please calm down. Xiaolan has discovered that you are not fat, but she hasn't told anyone else. You don't need to be so nervous."

"That's true. Mr. Lin, you are right. I was really impulsive."

"Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi, can you tell me who this woman is?" Lin Xiao pointed at the naked woman lying motionless on the execution platform.

"Oh. Her. She is Atsuko." Takahashi Ryoichi answered without thinking.

"Atsuko... I remember Sonoko's sister mentioned that she was a member of the club... But why is she here?"

"You don't understand. Atsuko is different from other women. She is the woman I love."

"What I'm asking is... why is she here?" Lin Xiao emphasized.

"Well, well..." Takahashi Ryoichi became vague.

Lin Xiao saw Takahashi Ryoichi's guilty expression and felt that things were not that simple, so he made a bold assumption.

"Takahashi Ryoichi, it's because you killed Atsuko that she appears here, am I right?"

"Eh? How did you know..."

"This is an obvious thing. If one's heart is not evil enough, how can one be possessed by a demon?"

"You guy!"

As soon as these words came out, Takahashi Ryokata's gentle face turned ferocious and terrifying. Behind him, a terrifying one-legged, one-eyed demon appeared.

When Xiaolan, who was standing by, heard Takahashi Ryoichi admit that he was the one who killed Atsuko, she was shocked.

"Mr. Takahashi, you are saying that you killed Atsuko! Is that true?" Xiaolan asked.

Takahashi Ryoichi planned to kill Lin Xiao and Xiaolan, so he was too lazy to act anymore.

"Yes. This hateful woman actually dared to reject my confession. I will kill her and make her my tool forever!"

"What!" Xiaolan couldn't imagine that there was such a terrifying person. "Could it be... Miss Ikeda Chikako was also killed by you?"

"That's right. I strangled Atsuko with a rope, faked a suicide scene, and successfully deceived the police." At this point, Takahashi Ryoichi's expression was smug, "I took Atsuko's manuscript and gave it to Chikako. Chikako clearly agreed to be my woman, but after becoming famous, she immediately abandoned me." At this point, Takahashi Ryoichi's expression became ferocious again.

"They all deserve to die!"

Takahashi Ryoichi's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The demon behind Takahashi Ryoichi also released a powerful evil aura.

"And you, you deserve to die too!"

"Well--"

Xiaolan's face turned pale and her body involuntarily began to tremble with fear.

"Xiaolan, you are the Phantom Thief Idol, you don't need to be afraid of him!"

The warm palm gently pressed on Xiaolan's shoulders, encouraging her to be strong.

At the same time, Takahashi Ryoichi merged with the demon behind him and attacked Xiaolan. Takahashi Ryoichi turned into an ugly one-legged and one-eyed fat man, wielding a big axe and slashing at Xiaolan.

Lin Xiao equipped himself with a personality mask named Oni and dodged Takahashi Ryoichi's attack.

Ryoichi Takahashi immediately switched from attacking Xiaolan to attacking Lin Xiao.

So, Lin Xiao and Takahashi Ryoichi started fighting in the small execution room. Takahashi Ryoichi, who had merged with the devil, became extremely powerful, and Lin Xiao felt very tired fighting him.

Axes were chopped towards Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao dodged left and right, in danger.

"Mr. Lin!" Xiaolan's heart was in her throat when she saw Lin Xiao in danger.

Chapter 11: Sonoko: Xiaolan, you change your mind too quickly

The situation is critical, Xiaolan feels that she cannot stand idly by. She remembers that Lin Xiao told her that she is a thief idol. Although the setting is outrageous, she must believe in it!

"I'm the Phantom Thief Idol."

A cool silver mask appeared on Xiaolan's face, a holy spear appeared in her hand, and the Joan of Arc form of her personality mask appeared behind her.

"Lin Jun, let me help you!"

Xiaolan holds the holy spear and joins forces with Lin Xiao to attack Takahashi Ryoichi who is possessed by the devil.

Takahashi Ryoichi, who was possessed by the devil, suddenly felt stressed.

Lin Xiao suddenly felt relieved, but he also found that Xiaolan was stronger than him and he needed to work harder.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Why can you resist me? This is obviously my world!"

Takahashi Ryoichi felt that he could not defeat the two of them together and became anxious.

Lin Xiao struck a cool pose: "We, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, will steal your evil heart."

"The Phantom Thieves of Hearts, is this another new setting?" Xiaolan's eyes lit up and she found it very interesting.

"It's not a new setting. The original setting is like this. You and I are members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, and new Phantom Thief Idols will join us later. I'm a Phantom Thief, and you're the Phantom Thief Idol who assists me."

"I see. So, Lin Jun is the leader, and I am equivalent to a member."

Xiaolan asked Lin Xiao with shining eyes, finding it very interesting.

"That's it."

So, Xiaolan followed suit and struck a pose that she thought was cool: "I am the Phantom Thief Idol Mao Lilan, representing the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, and I am here to steal your evil heart!"

Takahashi Ryoichi was successfully enraged, his eyes were red and he was in a rage.

"How dare you two look down on me."

In his anger, Takahashi Ryoichi's body began to twist, and Takahashi Ryoichi himself turned into a twisted demon, with one eye and one leg, wearing a black cloak, holding a rope in one hand and an axe in the other.

Although the demon in front of her was even more terrifying, Xiaolan was no longer afraid. She was now a thief idol, so how could she be afraid of the twisted demon in front of her?

"I won't be afraid of you anymore! Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi!"

Xiaolan's will became firm and she was not afraid.

"Damn woman, die!"

Takahashi Ryoichi attacked Xiaolan madly, just like in real life. Xiaolan was obviously fine, but he had to kill her!

"My Lord is here!"

Xiaolan activated the unique ability of her personality mask, transforming her magic power into physical defense, completely blocking Takahashi Ryoichi's attack, making Takahashi Ryoichi's attack completely ineffective.

At the same time, Lin Xiao activated the ability of the personality mask ghost, and a crescent-shaped sword appeared in his hand, splitting Takahashi Ryoichi into two halves.

After killing Takahashi Ryoichi, the spiritual palace began to collapse, and Lin Xiao and Xiaolan returned to reality.

Although this period lasted for a while, in reality, it was only a moment.

The experience of this incident gave Lin Xiao a new personality mask.

Yiben Taling: Legend has it that there is a monster with only one eye and one leg living in the deep mountains. Few people can see its true face. Legend has it that it is vicious and cruel and will kill anyone who sees its face.

Unique ability: Becoming only one eye and one leg makes him even stronger.

Takahashi Ryoichi had his evil heart taken away by the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, and he confessed everything honestly.

living room.

Everyone got up from bed and came to the living room of the villa. In the rainy night, under the orange light in the house, they listened to Takahashi Ryoichi's confession...

Takahashi Ryoichi's cruelty was really shocking, especially for the other three people who were still alive in the club. They felt their hair stand on end. It was so horrible! Suzuki Ayako, Kadaya Hiroki, and Ota Masaru couldn't believe that Takahashi Ryoichi, who looked honest, was such an evil person.

"Not only did you kill Chikako, you also killed Atsuko, Takahashi Ryoichi, why are you so cruel?" Hiroki Kadaya couldn't help but grabbed Takahashi Ryoichi by the collar and punched him hard, causing him to bleed from the nose.

Takahashi Ryoichi, who had his evil intentions taken away, honestly explained his motives: "Because I thought that if I killed them, they would belong to me. Now, I know I was wrong, and what I did was just deceiving myself. Please forgive me!"

Ota Katsu was furious: "It's no use knowing you were wrong now, Atsuko and Chikako were both killed by you!"

Suzuki Ayako couldn't bear to look directly at Takahashi Ryoichi. Thinking about how she had known him for so many years, she felt a chill in her heart: "Takahashi Ryoichi, no one can forgive you on behalf of Atsuko and Chikako..."

Takahashi Ryoichi knelt on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down his face: "I will repent well in prison and confess my sins!"

Afterwards, at Lin Xiao's suggestion, Takahashi Ryoichi was tied up and locked in the warehouse, waiting for the police to arrive and deal with him. Afterwards, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. However, after what happened today, no one wanted to sleep.

Sonoko couldn't sleep either, so she came to sleep with Xiaolan. Moreover, she couldn't understand why Takahashi Ryoichi suddenly confessed to his crime. It was really unbelievable.

In the guest room with a double bed, Lin Xiao was already soundly asleep, while Xiaolan and Yuanzi were whispering in the quilt.

"Xiao Lan, tell me the truth. Did you and Lin Xiao do something to make Takahashi Ryoichi confess everything?"

Although Xiaolan wanted to tell Sonoko everything, it was difficult to explain.

"Yes, but this is a secret between Lin Jun and me, Yuanzi, please don't ask."

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Yuanzi took a breath and said, "Xiaolan, you can't be changing your mind so quickly!"

"Change of heart, what do you mean?"

Xiaolan's face was full of question marks. She didn't understand what Sonoko was talking about.

"You and Shinichi are a couple, aren't you? It's only been a short while since Shinichi disappeared, and you've already changed your mind. Am I wrong?"

"No way! Shinichi and I are just childhood sweethearts. And, I haven't changed my mind. Shinichi and I are still childhood sweethearts, nothing has changed, what the hell are you talking about, Sonoko."

"Okay, okay, I'll assume that you haven't changed your mind." Sonoko was speechless at Xiaolan's answer. Could it be that Xiaolan and Shinichi really just have a pure friendship, and her efforts to bring them together were in vain?

"Yuanzi, you are really, you said something incomprehensible again."

No matter what, Xiaolan is sleeping soundly now. Not only has the murderer been tied up and locked in the warehouse, but her best friend and partner are by her side.

Chapter 12 Kudo Shinichi's defense is broken

In the morning, before dawn, Xiaolan was awakened by a phone call.

Xiaolan took out her cell phone and saw that it was Kudo Shinichi calling.

"Shinichi, are you mistaken? What do you want to do by calling me so early?"

Xiaolan was woken up early in the morning because she didn't get enough sleep. She was in a depressed mood and really wanted to punch Kudo Shinichi twice.
