Conan: The Heart Thief

"who is it?"

"Eiichi Yamagishi!"

"Ahhh... So he is the murderer. I have always suspected him. He is indeed the one who killed me."

Xiaolan narrowed her eyes and said, "Dad, forget it. You just reasoned that the victim committed suicide."

"Is there?" Kogoro Mouri couldn't remember it at all.

Seeing that he might be exposed, Conan quickly changed the subject.

"Uncle, we are going to say goodbye and go back..."

Yoko Okino politely saw the guest off and paid the commission fee to Kogoro Mori.

"Thank you, Detective Maori."

"Ahahahaha... You're so polite, Miss Yoko. If you have any commissions in the future, just come to me, Maori Kogoro!"

Xiaolan was amused and angry at her father's exaggerated expression. She turned her eyes to Lin Xiao and found that he was also in a dilemma. The two of them were in sync and smiled at each other.

At the same time, Conan's mask of pain was superimposed with another layer.

Before leaving, Conan suddenly found a card.

"The Phantom Thieves of Hearts? What is this?"

Chapter 19 "Mrs. Kudo, you don't want Shinichi to..."

After returning home, Lin Xiao combined the newly acquired personality mask Yinmaraki and the personality mask Andras.

"Host obtains the Persona Lamia."

Lamia: A half-human, half-snake female monster in ancient Greek mythology. She is also a snake demon in the West that is famous for hunting children. In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, there are many female demons like Lamia who kill children. The characteristic of Lamia is that her upper body is a beautiful woman, but her lower body is a snake. Her name Lamia means "esophagus", which symbolizes "greed".

Exclusive ability: Delicate greed.

A new day, after finishing his daily classes, Lin Xiao went home directly. If he didn't join any clubs, he would get home very early. If he didn't attend cram schools, high school students in Japan could live a relaxed life.

Unbeknownst to Lin Xiao, someone was ambushing him on the way home.

Just when passing by Kudo's house, Kudo Yukiko pretended to bump into Lin Xiao accidentally.

Strictly speaking, it was Kudo Yukiko who bumped into Lin Xiao, and she did it with the ball. The touch of the soft big ball made Lin Xiao's hair stand on end.

"I'm sorry... Are you okay?" Kudo Yukiko began to show off her acting skills. "Ah! Aren't you my son's classmate Lin Xiao? We are really destined to be together."

"...Fate?" Lin Xiao looked at Kudo Yukiko with a strange expression. Compared to the casual attire she wore when she took out the trash before, the girl in front of him seemed to have dressed up carefully.

She was wearing a burgundy halter dress with deep slits at the hem, revealing her slender legs wrapped in flesh-colored thin stockings, her long brown hair draped over her shoulders, and her beautiful collarbone.

She has a graceful figure, slender where it should be slender, and plump where it should be plump, which is completely different from that of a young girl. She has light makeup on her face, which makes her look very natural and youthful.

She also exudes a special perfume, and her voice is so beautiful and thrilling that it is irresistible.

"Isn't it? Ahahaha..." Kudo Yukiko didn't know if it was because she was too nervous because she was guilty of something, and her acting was a bit exaggerated, "Lin, do you want to come to my house and sit for a while?"

"Auntie, what do you want to do..."

"Auntie doesn't want to do anything, just invite you to our house."

"..."

Lin Xiao didn't want to agree at first, but Kudo Yukiko had a pair of eyes that could speak, which made him unable to say no.

Lin Xiao remained silent, and Kudo Yukiko was afraid that he would refuse, so she pulled Lin Xiao without saying a word and forced him to go to Kudo's house.

Yukiko Kudo asked Lin Xiao to sit down and served him some snacks.

"This is the mochi I made by hand, you can try it."

"Oh."

Lin Xiao took a piece of mochi and tasted it. It was indeed delicious.

Then, Kudo Yukiko made tea for Lin Xiao.

"No need to make tea, I can just drink water."

"it is good."

Kudo Yukiko then poured Lin Xiao a cup of hot water.

Afterwards, Kudo Yukiko sat next to Lin Xiao and watched him eat snacks and drink water.

Lin Xiao felt quite uncomfortable being stared at.

"Auntie, if you have something to say, please speak directly. Don't beat around the bush."

Yukiko Kudo smiled awkwardly.

"It's about my son."

"Oh. You mean Kudo-san."

"Yes. You already know that my son met with an accident and turned into a child, that is, the current Edogawa Conan."

"What do you want to ask?"

"Lin, I won't be polite then." Kudo Yukiko's expression became serious, "How did you know? You know so much about my son. Why did you suddenly transfer to my son's class?"

"I can't explain the cause and effect to you." Lin Xiao didn't mean to hide it from Kudo Yukiko, but he really couldn't explain it clearly. "Auntie, please believe me, I have no ill intentions."

"I can't tell you." Facing Lin Xiao's fiery gaze, Kudo Yukiko was too embarrassed to continue asking. She knew that Lin Xiao was hiding something from her, but he didn't want to say it, and she couldn't force him to speak. "Auntie doesn't disbelieve you, it's just that what happened during this period was too bizarre."

"I can understand." The sudden rejuvenation of Kudo Yukiko's son would be strange to anyone, let alone her as a mother.

Lin Xiao picked up the cup and drank the remaining water in it.

He put down the water cup and caught a glimpse of the two round white grooves, and felt his body react. Reason reminded him that he couldn't stay any longer, otherwise the next script might turn out to be... "Mrs. Kudo, you don't want Shinichi either..."

"Auntie, thank you for your hospitality. I'm going back now."

"Don't go back so early, stay for dinner."

"No more trouble, no more trouble..."

"It doesn't matter……"

Kudo Yukiko was unwilling to give up, and without asking anything, she firmly held Lin Xiao's hand and refused to let him go. This was her personality, she was eccentric, but also liked to show off, and she would not stop until she did something that met her expectations.

Seeing that she couldn't stop Lin Xiao, Kudo Yukiko hugged Lin Xiao's arm and said coquettishly, "I'm a little bored at home alone tonight, so just think of it as accompanying your aunt, okay, Lin."

Yukiko Kudo's breath was as beautiful as orchids, and Lin Xiao was so fascinated that he had to stay. It's not Lin Xiao's fault that he has poor self-control, it's just that the aunt is too beautiful. The former top stars, their temperament and appearance are all TO level, which is not comparable to Internet celebrities.

Things have come to this point, Lin Xiao can only stay.

Lin Xiao sat uncomfortably in the living room while Kudo Yukiko went to the kitchen to cook.

Yukiko Kudo was not lying. Since returning to Tokyo, she has been alone every day and is really bored. The last time her husband came back, he just showed up and ran away, and was of no use at all.

in the kitchen.

Yukiko took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and started cooking. As a full-time housewife, her cooking skills are naturally excellent. Not only that, she has also studied cooking skills, and the dishes she makes are delicious.

As she cooked, she couldn't help but complain in her heart. I told you, with my charm, no man can resist it. If Lin Xiao wants to run away, he will definitely not be able to escape from my palm. I will make him tell her everything.

In order to get more information about her son, she must work hard. Simple home-cooked dishes are also fragrant and mouth-watering.

Lin Xiao, who was sitting in the living room in a daze, also smelled the fragrance of food from the kitchen. He felt a little full after eating the dessert, but now he began to feel hungry again.

Chapter 20 Lin Xiao went to Xiaolan's house for dinner again, Conan was defeated

Kudo Yukiko supported her chin and watched Lin Xiao eat the dinner she had prepared. It felt like she was watching Kudo Shinichi.

In other words, she felt guilty about her son. In order to appease her husband, she moved to New York with him and ignored her son in Tokyo. This led to her son's misfortune and his current situation. The future became completely unknown. And the feeling of uncertainty was exactly what she feared.

"Auntie, you keep looking at me, why don't you eat?"

Even though the food cooked by Kudo Yukiko is great and can't be compared to takeout, being stared at all the time makes it impossible to concentrate on enjoying the food.

"Auntie is happy to see you eating so happily."

Yukiko Kudo tried her best to act kind and win Lin Xiao's trust. She was willing to risk everything to help her son.

"Does it smell good?"

"Hehehe... Mr. Lin, you don't want to admit it, do you? As for me, I am very confident in my cooking skills."

Yukiko Kudo puffed out her chest and jumped like a big rabbit. This burgundy dress couldn't hold it up at all.

Lin Xiao stared at Kudo Yukiko's chest and blurted out, "Indeed, Auntie's cooking skills are impeccable. But... no matter how delicious the food is, it's not as delicious as Auntie's."

"Ah, what did you say—"

Kudo Yukiko was shocked by Lin Xiao's teasing.

"..."

Lin Xiao regretted it as soon as he said it. The other party was Kudo Shinichi's mother, that is, his classmate's mother. How could he say such a disrespectful thing? Although when in Rome, do as the Romans do, but the other party was obviously not mentally prepared...

"Hateful. Lin, you are really good at talking. But... Auntie is Kudo Shinichi's mother, a married woman, so you can't have any bad ideas."

Being teased by Kudo Yukiko, Lin Xiao felt embarrassed and had to defend himself, "No... I can control myself when facing Kudo's childhood sweetheart, let alone Kudo's mother."

"Kudo-san's childhood sweetheart?" Kudo Yukiko sensed a hint of danger. "Hayashi-san, are you referring to Mao Lilan?"

"Yes. Is there anyone else who is Kudo-san's childhood sweetheart?" Lin Xiao recalled the setting of the original plot. Kudo Shinichi's childhood sweetheart was only Mouri Ran, no one else.

"Even Mao Li Ran is not acceptable!" Kudo Yukiko immediately turned hostile. Anyone who dared to snatch her daughter-in-law who has not yet married would be killed by her.

"why?"

"Mauri Ran is my daughter-in-law who has not yet married, so Mao Lilan is not an option. If Lin wants to fall in love, please find another girl."

"That's not right... Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo aren't even lovers, so how come they're your daughter-in-law?"

Lin Xiao just felt that Kudo Yukiko was clearly treating him as a fool and was playing with him for fun!

"That's because..." Kudo Yukiko blinked a few times, "Well... my Shinichi and Mao Lilan were engaged when they were children. Yes, that's it!"

Lin Xiao shook his head. The woman in front of him was not sincere, so there was nothing to say. He did not expose Kudo Yukiko's lies, but stood up and left.

"Ah, Mr. Lin, why did you leave? I still have some questions to ask you."
