Conan: The Heart Thief

"Oh, Xiaolan invited me to her house for dinner."

"Why did Xiaolan suddenly invite you to dinner at home? What on earth is going on..."

As far as Conan could remember, Xiaolan had never invited any other boys to her house except him, and he would get jealous easily.

"Instead of asking me the reason, why not ask Xiaolan directly?"

"hateful!"

Conan gritted his teeth, it was hard not to suspect that Lin Xiao had thoughts beyond friendship towards Xiaolan. He walked with his short legs to the kitchen on the third floor and asked Xiaolan the reason.

"Oh, Conan, you asked me why I invited Lin Xiao here."

"Lin Xiao is my friend, so I invited him, that's all."

"Is that all?"

Conan pouted, his suspicion not dispelled at all.

"That's it." Xiaolan, wearing an apron, didn't even look at Conan, and continued cooking. Suddenly, she glanced at Conan and said in a rather unhappy tone, "If you want to tell Shinichi about it, it's up to you. Anyway, I don't care what Shinichi thinks."

"..."

Conan was confused. He was Kudo Shinichi, so there was no need for him to tell tales.

It takes countless lies to cover up one lie, and Conan is reaping the fruits of his own action.

……

When it was time for dinner, the meal was sumptuous.

Curry chicken, potato stew, grilled fish...

Although it’s just an ordinary Japanese home-cooked meal, it’s delicious, even better than Lin Xiao’s favorite KFC.

"Is it delicious, Lin Jun?"

"Mmm. Delicious!"

"whee……"

"Xiaolan will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh. He recalled that before he traveled through time, there were many Conan fans of Hei Xiaolan. He couldn't figure it out. He wondered if the setting was too perfect, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Xiaolan blushed when she heard Lin Xiao's praise.

Maori Kogoro glanced at Lin Xiao and said with a chuckle, "Of course my daughter is good. But she is not someone that an ordinary person can marry."

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xiaolan became even more shy.

Conan had a gloomy face the whole time, and the delicious food no longer smelled good.

After dinner, Lin Xiao was about to say goodbye and go back, but Maori Kogoro came to him with business.

"Who is it? Why are you here so late? It's past working hours."

Kogoro Mori received the guest with an unhappy look on his face.

"This is the Maori Detective Agency. We are closed. Please come back tomorrow for work..."

After he finished speaking, Maori Kogoro suddenly froze, and looked at the person in disbelief. He said in doubt: "You, you, you... Miss Okino Yoko?"

The woman outside the door bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Maori, it's me."

"No way, our idol would actually come to our house?" At this time, Xiaolan also walked over and asked curiously.

Okino Yoko said politely to Xiaolan: "I have something I want to entrust you with..."

Lin Xiao, who was standing by, looked at Okino Yoko carefully. She was a quiet, beautiful girl who made people feel like spring breeze. She was even prettier than she looked on TV. I didn't feel anything when I saw her on TV, but it was really great to see her in real life.

Then, Yoko Okino explained the purpose of her visit, without avoiding the presence of other outsiders.

"What! Someone is following the lovely Miss Yoko!"

Kogoro Mori listened to Yoko Okino's concerns and slammed the table in anger.

Okino Yoko nodded and continued, "Yes, not only that, I often receive photos of myself and silent phone calls."

Maori Kogoro raised his right hand and clenched his fist when he heard this, saying angrily: "How could someone be so rude to Miss Yoko? I will beat him up when I catch him."

The agent standing next to Okino Yoko came forward and quickly waved his hand to warn Maori: "Please don't make it public, Mr. Maori. After all, Ms. Yoko is a popular idol."

Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then he realized that there was a man standing next to Okino Yoko, and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

The man took out his business card and said, "My name is Yamagishi Eiichi, and I'm Ms. Yoko's agent."

Maori Kogoro took the business card and said seriously, "Please rest assured, I will investigate secretly. Let's go to Miss Yoko's house now."

As Maori Kogoro was about to go out, Conan shouted, "Uncle, I want to go too!"

Xiaolan immediately asked to go with them, and even brought Lin Xiao along: "Dad, can you take Lin Jun and I with you? I really want to see what the popular idol's home looks like! Lin Jun, you must be curious too."

"Yes——" Lin Xiao really wanted to go. The system would give a personality mask to solve criminal cases.

Maori Kogoro frowned and said coldly: "Don't follow me, kid, and don't cause trouble for me and Miss Yoko!"

Okino Yoko said very kindly: "Of course. If you want to come, come along."

When Kogoro Mori heard that Okino Yoko had agreed, he couldn't continue to object and tacitly agreed to the other three to come along.

After some time, the group arrived at the apartment where Yoko Okino lived.

Maori Kogoro looked at the beautiful building in front of him and exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, it really is worthy of being where Miss Okino Yoko lives. What a high-end apartment."

Hearing Maori Kogoro's loud shouting, his agent Yamagishi Eiichi quickly waved his hands and whispered, "Mr. Maori, Miss Yoko's living here is a secret, please don't make it public."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but mutter, "Such a high-end apartment must have very strict security."

Yamagishi Eiichi said: "Of course, the place where Miss Okino Yoko lives must be a high-end apartment with strict security."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes at Yamagishi Eiichi suspiciously. Since it was a high-end apartment with tight security, how on earth was Okino Yoko followed home? How do you manage to be a manager?

The group took the elevator and arrived at Yoko Okino's home.

Yoko Okino lives on the high floors of an apartment building. Standing outside the ship in front of her house, you can see the night view of Tokyo.

Maori Kogoro leaned against the window and exclaimed: "Standing here and overlooking the night view of Tokyo is really beautiful."

"that is true."

Xiaolan was also beside Kogoro Mouri, looking at the night view of Tokyo.

Just then, a discordant voice was heard.

"Ah--" Yoko Okino, who opened the door, couldn't help but scream when she saw the scene in the house. Everyone looked in the direction of Yoko Okino at the same time, and then their faces changed drastically. It turned out that a dead man was lying on the ground in the house, with a shiny knife stuck in his back and red blood flowing all over the floor.

"Xiaolan, call the police immediately, and stay here and don't move!" Kogoro Mouri looked serious and quickly ordered.

Seeing this, Xiaolan immediately took out her cell phone and called the police. This was not the first time Xiaolan had encountered a murder case, so her psychological quality was much better than that of ordinary people.

Conan rushed forward, took out Mari's white gloves and put them on himself to investigate the situation of the deceased.

"boom!"

Conan was hit by a punch from Kogoro Mori.

"What are you doing making trouble for, little brat? Get out of here!"

"Well--"

Conan looked aggrieved: "I didn't mean to cause any trouble!"

Chapter 16: Supernatural Phenomena

Lin Xiao accompanied Xiaolan and found a place in the house far away from the crime scene to sit down. Xiaolan's face did not look very good and was a little pale.

"Ah... I didn't expect to encounter a murder case. I was planning to take a good look at Miss Yoko's house."

Lin Xiao did not immediately participate in the incident, as accompanying his friend was more important. Before crossing, Xiaolan was just an animation character, but after crossing, Xiaolan had become a friend he cherished.

"It can't be helped. Miss Yoko asked your father for help, which means something is going to happen."

"I thought it was just harassment from fans..."

At this time, the sound of a police car was heard downstairs. After a while, a big-bellied police officer named Megure Jusan, wearing an orange wide-brimmed hat and an orange police uniform, walked in with several policemen.

As soon as Megure Juzo entered the door, he saw Mori Kogoro and his face instantly turned bitter.

"Why is it you...Brother Maori."

"Oh, Officer Megure, it's me, Kogoro Mouri. I really miss the days when I solved countless cases with you, officer." Kogoro Mouri saluted with a standard police salute and said with a smile.

Inspector Megure disagreed: "Every time you join in, the originally clear events immediately become like walking into a maze..."

Officer Megure walked forward and looked around. When he saw Xiaolan, he was slightly stunned.

"Ran is here too. I thought the young man next to Ran was Shinichi."

"That guy Shinichi has lost contact with my daughter a long time ago. Don't mention that brat."

"I'm counting on Shinichi. I'd feel much more relaxed if Shinichi were here."

"Officer Megure, with me here, we can solve the case quickly. Trust me."

Kogoro Mori's face was full of confidence.

Next, Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure began to seriously investigate the truth of this case.

Of course Conan was not idle either. He ran around like a mouse. The police basically ignored Conan's abnormal behavior.

Megure Jusan asked the Identification Division officer: "How is it? Has the cause of death been found?"

"Reporting to the police, the fatal injury to the deceased was caused by a knife wound in the back and he died on the spot."

This is what the police officer from the Identification Department said.

"Oh? In other words...whoever's fingerprints are on the knife is the murderer?"

Megure Jusan stood up and turned to look at Okino Yoko: "Excuse me, is this knife yours, Ms. Yoko?"

"Yes... yes that's right."

Yoko Okino felt nervous. After all, the body was found in her bedroom and the knife was hers. No matter how you looked at it, she was the most suspicious.

"So there must be your fingerprints on the knife?"
