Conan: The Heart Thief

"I didn't feel like there was anyone else around." Mitsuhiko said.

"Maybe he thought you guys weren't awake yet..." Megure Jusan guessed.

Takagi Wataru, who had been holding a small notebook to record everything, suddenly spoke up and speculated: "The criminal must have sneaked out secretly..."

"What? We're awake!" Ayumi pouted in dissatisfaction.

"If there is any sound, we will definitely chase it!" Mitsuhiko said angrily.

Yuan Tai crossed his arms and said unhappily: "Don't treat our Junior Detective Team as fools!"

Conan nodded, agreeing with his friends: "If it was an ordinary room, it would be possible to sneak out quietly, but it is almost impossible to escape from such a messy room in the dark without making any noise in a short time."

"Yes, that's indeed the case..." Only then did Takagi Shige realize that the situation at the time of the incident was very abnormal.

Lin Xiao frowned: "In this case, the criminal did not escape from the room, and was sleeping on the sofa next to the victim..." He looked up at Hoshima Akira, "Mr. Hoshima, it's your turn!"

"W-what?!" Hoshima Akira exclaimed in surprise.

Megure Juzo looked at him seriously and asked, "Where was the lock on the door after you found the body?"

“It’s locked, it’s locked well…” Hoshima Akira had cold sweat on his forehead.

Takagi added: "There was no sign of the keyhole on the door being forced open..."

Mumu Shisan looked at Hoshima Lang who was sweating profusely from nervousness and said loudly: "Then the only criminal is you!!"

"Wait, wait a minute! Besides me, there are other people who have a spare key to this room!" Hosima Akira explained anxiously, "My mahjong partners who work in the same development institute, Mr. Karata and Mr. Negami, also have one..."

Not long after, Keizen Karata and Yoshihiko Negami were invited to the crime scene. When they heard that Tokumasa Furumura had been murdered, they were shocked!

"What?! Gucun was killed?!"

Mumu Thirteen said in a deep voice: "Then, may I ask why you hold the key to this room, and where were you when the crime was committed around 10:55 pm? What were you doing?"

Tang Tian Jingshan answered first: "At that time, the most important part of the color grading was completed, and I entrusted the rest of the work to others and fell asleep in the lounge. Because I didn't sleep for two whole days."

Mu Mu Thirteen nodded, looked at Tang Tian Jingshan, and asked: "Is there anyone who can prove it?"

Tang Tian Jingshan said: "There are still two or three people in the lounge, but they are all asleep..."

Then, Murume Jusan looked at Negami Yoshihiko, "So, what about you?"

Keihiko Negami said nervously: "I, I was in the darkroom checking if the film was damaged... Unfortunately, I was doing it alone, so there was no alibi witness..."

Mumu Thirteen pondered and said, "Oh, so neither of them has an alibi?"

"Yes, yes..." Keizen Karata and Yoshihiko Negami were both helpless.

Mumu Thirteen was confused: "Doesn't that mean all three of them are suspects?"

He looked at Lin Xiao, path dependent: "Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Xiao pondered for a while, then pointed at Negami Yoshihiko and said, "The murderer is you—Negami Yoshihiko!"

"What!" Everyone was shocked, including Conan. It was too ridiculous that Lin Xiao knew the murderer so quickly.

Negami Keihiko shuddered, and big drops of cold sweat slowly flowed down his forehead: "I'm not the murderer, it's unfair!"

Lin Xiao said: "The criminal is confident that he can enter and exit this room in the dark without making any sound... Only you, a developer, can do it. Plus, you don't have an alibi, so you are definitely the murderer!"

Negami Yoshihiko said stubbornly: "I won't admit it without evidence."

Lin Xiao said: "As a developer, I have to check the film in a darkroom, relying entirely on the feeling of my fingers. No matter how used I am to the darkroom, it is impossible to operate in a room without any light. Failure will cause great losses, so there should be marks in the darkroom to determine the location of objects in the room...

As expected, I found it as soon as I entered the room. There was a piece of black tape on the corner of the messy pile of items. I'm afraid it was a black tape stuck on the fluorescent tape..."

Hearing the sound, Takagi lowered his head in surprise to look at a corner of the items piled messily beside him, and immediately found the black tape he mentioned and the fluorescent tape slightly exposed underneath.

"Look, you can see a little fluorescent tape under the black tape! This is probably to suppress the light to avoid the film being damaged in the dark room..."

Lin Xiao said as he walked to the light switch and turned off the light with a click. "Then ordinary people won't be able to see it right away after turning off the light. Once your eyes get used to it, you just need to stare at the place with the tape and you will be able to see it little by little. Just rely on this bright spot and remember the location of the object and walk carefully..."

With a snap, the light came on again. "We can pass through smoothly without bumping into anything... You turned it back on right after Conan turned it off, didn't you? Before everyone gets used to the darkness and notices the faint light... I'm afraid Mr. Negami's darkroom also has tape on the corners of the table and pillars to prevent bumping into anything in the dark..."

Mumu Thirteen said doubtfully: "But, Brother Lin, it won't work if we don't know the position of the heart of the person sleeping in the dark. If it's slightly off, then it will be impossible to kill someone..."

"It's a button..." Lin Xiao glanced at the stupid Mumu Thirteen and explained: "He probably painted a small amount of fluorescent paint on the third button of Mr. Gucun's shirt, so he can grasp the position of Xinsheng in the dark. In other words, as long as he can enter this room with the spare key, he can stab the heart correctly even in the dark."

"Haha..." Keihiko Negami suddenly chuckled and glanced at the black tape on the corner of the table. He said slowly: "How can it be exposed? This fluorescent tape was put there by Furumura himself."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.

Keihiko Negami hummed and said, "The tape on the camera is so that it can be quickly reached even in the dark, and the tape in the room is so that it is more convenient to go to the toilet at night. I didn't tell Hoshima about it as a prank. Although I know he is such an irresponsible person, it's the only thing I can't forgive..."

At this point, his expression became a little grim, "Only that mistake ruined the final film of "Diary of Filial Piety"!"

"Ah, is it because Mr. Gucun was negligent in his work after playing mahjong all night?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Yes..." Negami Yoshihiko forced a bitter smile, "That's why I killed him... I wanted to frame the blame on Hoshima who invited him to play mahjong all night..."

Lin Xiao was speechless: "But no matter how proud a movie is, it shouldn't kill people..."

Twilight Thirteen interjected, "And wasn't the movie finished after the reshoots?"

"That is no longer perfect..." Negami Yoshihiko said with tears in his eyes, "Originally, that scene was supposed to feature the protagonist's brother, but the actor died in an accident right before the reshoot... There was no other way, so the scene had to be without that actor... So the film can no longer be completed a second time, it can no longer be truly finished... It's all because of that... that guy..."

"Wow..." At the end, he burst into tears.

Negami Yoshihiko looked so sad, but everyone felt like they were struck by lightning. Killing someone for such a reason was really insane.

Chapter 165 Yukiko

Because a murder had occurred, the Kamen Rider movie naturally could not be continued. Yukiko drove the children back home, and then drove back to her own home. It was already early morning.

Yukiko parked the car and the three people in the car got out.

Haibara Ai yawned, looking very sleepy.

Yukiko was still in high spirits and held Lin Xiao's hand before leaving.

"Xiao Jun, come spend the night at my house tonight..."

Since Conan has already tacitly agreed that she and Lin Xiao are together, she can't wait to indulge herself without any worries.

"Hmm? But I feel sleepy..."

"You stay, I have a surprise for you tonight."

"All right……"

Yukiko had said this, so Lin Xiao stayed. He had played with Yukiko in the park and was already in a sage state, so he could go home and sleep quietly. However, if Yukiko was not enough, he would cheer up again.

Huiyuan Ai looked at the man and the woman in silence. She was very sleepy and just wanted to go back to her room to sleep. Children get sleepy at a certain time and can't stay up all night.

The three of them entered the house. Haibara Ai didn't want to take a shower and wanted to go to bed directly, but Yukiko caught her and forced her to take a shower.

After Haibara Ai finished washing and left the bathroom, Yukiko waved to Lin Xiao in the living room and helped Lin Xiao wash.

After Lin Xiao finished taking a shower, he lay in Yukiko's room waiting for her.

After waiting for a long time, Lin Xiao was almost asleep when Yukiko appeared.

However, when Yukiko appeared, Lin Xiao immediately became alert, because Yukiko was wearing a very gorgeous set of high-end underwear, white underwear made of transparent material, paired with white suspender stockings, she looked as pure as a fairy.

"Um... Yukiko, you're so slow."

"Because I cleaned myself carefully, it took a while."

"is it?"

"Yeah. You know what? I even clean my butt."

"Eh?"

"This is what you call a surprise."

"Yeah...how about it, are you interested?"

"Um……"

Lin Xiao's heart was pounding. To be honest, he had never had such a thought before. After Yukiko said this, this thought arose, which made him feel troubled.

Yukiko sat in front of Lin Xiao and revealed her secrets.

"..." Lin Xiao swallowed his saliva. People’s pursuit of happiness is truly a never-ending process.

"Okay." Yukiko reminded.

"..."

Lin Xiao said nothing as he first arrived at the spiral.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" The beauty's affection gave Lin Xiao an impulse.

"As long as Xiaojun is happy." Yukiko's eyes were shining with tears of happiness.

Tonight, Yukiko brought Lin Xiao a novel experience. The spiritual satisfaction was better than the physical satisfaction. The beauty of this made the relationship between the two people sublimate to a new height.

……

As the weather gets warmer day by day, there are more and more pedestrians on the streets.

At the same time, the number of passengers on the bus has increased.

Sonoko said with a smile: "Today, let's go to the Beihu Hotel to eat the cake buffet as agreed. This way we can become stronger."

"Yeah." Lan nodded. "Eat a lot and become super strong, just like Lin Xiao."

Speaking of Lin Xiao, Yuanzi asked in confusion: "Speaking of which, where is Lin Xiao? Why isn't he with us?"

"When I notified Lin Xiao, he had already gone out. He said he would gather at Beihu Hotel." Xiaolan laughed dryly.

"That's good." Sonoko was looking forward to the three of them eating the buffet cake together, but she caught a glimpse of a hand reaching out for Xiaolan's buttocks.

"Pervert! This man is a pervert!" Sonoko grabbed the hand that attacked Xiaolan and screamed.

Lan was shocked.

The man whose wrist was grabbed by Yuanzi was a man wearing a hat. He said in panic, "Ah, no, I..."

Yuanzi gritted her teeth, "Don't play dumb with me, don't you want to attack Xiaolan's butt?" Although she is a rich lady, she has always been tough and directly called her young friend, "Lan, teach him a lesson!"

"Yeah." Lan was not polite either. She hated this kind of pervert on the bus the most.

"Ah? Wait..." The other party was about to say something.
