Conan: The Heart Thief

After all, if you think about it according to her subtext, this might be related to some supernatural events.

After listening to Mizuno Rena's words, Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Well! I already know the general situation. After hearing what you said, Rena, it is indeed not an ordinary prank! Then I will take this case!"

Rena Mizunashi immediately showed a look of joy: "That's great, Detective Lin! I will pay you the full amount. Send me your account number and I will give it to you now!" She really felt relieved at this moment.

Lin Xiao shook his head when he heard this: "Don't worry, I'll pay you after I solve this case!"

"Okay!" Mizuno Reina agreed with a smile, then after thinking for a while, she said, "It just so happens that today is Friday, and tomorrow morning, Saturday, the strange doorbell incident will happen again!"

"Lin Xiao, if you have no feelings, can you start investigating me now..."

Mizuno Rena's voice stopped abruptly! She originally wanted to wait at her home and investigate what means the man used to disappear quickly, so that it would be convenient to catch him early the next morning! However, she suddenly remembered that although Lin Xiao was a teenager, he was old enough! He was considered a man! Now it was almost dark! Late in the evening, she, a single woman, invited a man home! And he wanted to stay overnight! This was a bit inappropriate... Mizuno Rena suddenly couldn't say the following words no matter what.

She wanted to go back on her words, but how could she catch the person who rang the doorbell without waiting? She could continue to invite people... It was strange! Most importantly, she and Lin Xiao were not familiar with each other at all, and they just met today! So, Mizuno Rena could only look at Lin Xiao and hesitate to speak...

Lin Xiao knew what Mizuno Rena was thinking at this moment. First of all, he wanted to make one thing clear! That is... he was not only "considered" a man, he had already "been" a man!

Then... Lin Xiao thought that in the original novel, Kogoro Mouri was able to stay at Rena Mizunashi's house for one night because Xiaolan and Conan were there.

I'm afraid that Rena Mizunoshi, a grown man, won't invite me to her house! That won't do! Unless I can find someone to accompany me, and that person can make Rena Mizunoshi feel completely at ease inviting me to bring people to her house!

That...candidate...Ai!

Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although Xiao Ai might make trouble for her collusion with Mizuno Rena, it is better than not being able to get in. Moreover, can Xiao Ai, this little radar, detect the identity of Mizuno Rena's organization? This is also a very interesting thing.

Lin Xiao immediately made some strange expressions and small movements on purpose.

Then he pretended to be guilty and said: "Um, Reina, can you wait for me for a moment? I want to go to the bathroom!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Lin Xiao immediately stood up gratefully, smiled at Mizuno Rena, and then quickly walked towards the bathroom...

Watching Lin Xiao's stiff back as he left, Mizuno Rena's originally decent smile suddenly withered. Instead, it was replaced by a strong suspicion. Regarding Lin Xiao's sudden strange behavior, Mizuno Rena's keen intuition as a spy told her that there must be something wrong with Lin Xiao! Could he also be a member of the organization? Mizuno Rena's pupils shrank, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart when she thought that Lin Xiao might be someone from the organization to spy on her. Having said that, it's also a joke that the people in the organization often don't know each other.

Lin Xiao took out his cell phone and called Yukiko, asking her to borrow Xiao Ai.

Yukiko didn't know how to make the decision for Ai, so she just gave the phone to her.

"Big scumbag, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Ai, don't worry, it won't be a big problem! But I need your help now!" Lin Xiao said in a calm and soothing tone.

Xiao Ai's nervousness calmed down a little, and she nodded seriously: "Okay, go ahead!" After all, Lin Xiao had helped her and her sister, and she was grateful.

"I found a woman who is suspected to be a member of the organization. I need to investigate her closely. And now is a good opportunity for me to go to her house to investigate!" Lin Xiao's tone was serious, and Xiao Ai on the other end was stunned.

Lin Xiao said: "I have a chance to stay at her house for one night as a detective, but I am a man after all, and she probably won't let me go alone, so I need you to come with me!

With a little girl like you by her side, she will definitely let down her guard against me!

So, I need you to rush to the cafe as quickly as possible! You don’t need to do anything after that, just stay with me!"

Lin Xiao paused. In fact, he didn't make this decision entirely for his own selfish desires! You know, Xiao Ai also needs to face some things, she can't always live under the shadow of the organization! Yes! He can help Xiao Ai eliminate the threatening people in the organization one by one, and he can make those who are not good for Xiao Ai regret living in this world! But, that is the most cowardly way of life for Xiao Ai.

Lin Xiao doesn't want Xiao Ai to live in the shadow of the organization forever! Because, even if they all die, they will always exist in Xiao Ai's heart! It will always be the deepest fear in Xiao Ai's heart! It will haunt her from time to time and attack Xiao Ai in the form of nightmares! Therefore, Lin Xiao had an idea and thought that he could take this opportunity to let Xiao Ai slowly eliminate her fear of the members of the organization.

And from the time she met Rena Mizunoshi, this nominal member of the organization was the best choice for Ai to eliminate her fear and take the first step!

Lin Xiao continued to encourage: "Xiao Ai, don't worry, you won't be in any danger with me here! I promise!"

"Of course I believe you!" Xiao Ai said without hesitation.

Lin Xiao laughed when he heard this.

Lin Xiao glanced at her casually and knew that Mizuno Rena was hiding behind the wall and could hear his voice clearly.

Rena Mizunoshi in the corner couldn't help but shake her head in amusement, laughing at her own suspicion! He is obviously... an enthusiastic young man! In order to help her with the investigation, he asked his sister for help... It sounded like his sister seemed to be difficult to talk to and came to accompany him.

With his sister here, wouldn't she not have to worry about being alone? Moreover, in order not to embarrass herself, she even made the call behind her back! Thinking of this, Mizuno Rena felt that she was wrong to suspect that Lin Xiao was a bad person! It was too much! For a moment, she felt guilty and touched.

She couldn't help but think to herself, how long has it been since she met such an enthusiastic boy... No! It should be said that she has not met such an enthusiastic person!

Chapter 341

Lin Xiao hung up the phone slowly and returned to the cafe lobby slowly, giving Mizunashi Rena enough time to clean up her panic.

Then, he leisurely returned to his seat.

At this time, Mizuno Reina had already sat in her seat, drinking coffee as if nothing had happened, just as he had left. She looked as if she had been here all along and had not been anywhere else! Lin Xiao smiled secretly in his heart, then sat down and said apologetically: "Sorry, Reina, I kept you waiting for a long time!"

“It’s okay, the coffee here tastes good!”

Mizuno Rena shook her head sincerely and made up an excuse.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao took a sip of coffee and then began to act... He first looked at Mizuno Rena with an embarrassed expression, as if she wanted to ask her for something but didn't know how to start.

Anyway, he had an embarrassed expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated! When Mizuno Rena saw this, she also knew what Lin Xiao was going to do.

And it's all for herself! So, she naturally has to cooperate with Lin Xiao in acting.

Mizuno Reina immediately pretended to be concerned and asked: "Lin Xiao, are you in trouble? Can you tell me about it? Is it related to my commission?"

After a series of questions, Lin Xiao nodded repeatedly: "Related!"

But then, as if he had thought of something, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter!"

His words don't make sense and he looks like he is not very good at lying.

Seeing this, Mizuno Rena laughed inwardly, and for a moment...she thought Lin Xiao was such a cute boy!

"Lin Xiao, just say whatever you want to say. If you don't say it, we can't solve it." Mizuno Rena smiled as gentle as water.

Lin Xiao seemed to be infected by this smile. He scratched his head awkwardly, and finally made up his mind and said embarrassedly: "Okay!"

Then, Lin Xiao told the class that Hondou Eisuke was looking for his sister.

"You said there was a classmate in your class named Hondou Eiyuu who was bullied by bad students!"

"Yes. Those bad students bullied Hondou Eisuke. I could stop them once, but I can't stop them twice. After all, I'm not Hondou Eisuke's babysitter and I can't be by his side all the time."

"That's terrible!"

As soon as Lin Xiao mentioned the name Hondou Eisuke, Mizuno Rena's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this guy his biological brother? He is also her only relative in the world.

"Detective Lin, do you have any way to help Hondou Eisuke? He sounds very pitiful. After graduation, I think it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in society." Hearing the difficulties mentioned by Lin Xiao, Mizuno Rena was even more anxious than Lin Xiao.

"Miss Mizunoshi, you're right. Hondou Eisuke's mother had just died, so he transferred to Tokyo to find his sister. He's all alone and pitiful. But I'm also very busy, and it's impossible for me to help him in every aspect, so it's very difficult and awkward."

Lin Xiao didn't really want to help Hondou Eisuke, but wanted to use Hondou Eisuke to threaten Mizunashi Rena.

"Then, Detective Hayashi, can I ask you to take care of Hondou Eisuke?"

"Oh, Ms. Mizuno, you are asking too much. I am a famous detective now and I am very busy."

"Uh... okay." Mizuno Rena chose to keep her mouth shut. The current commission had already been asked to be handled by Lin Xiao, so how could she have the nerve to accept a new commission?

"I'll bring my sister with me to your house later."

"No problem." Mizunashi Rena pretended to know nothing and asked, "Should we go pick up your sister now?"

"No, she'll be here soon."

Not long after, Yukiko drove Ai to the downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency.

Lin Xiao and Xiao Ai left the cafe and went to greet Xiao Ai.

Lin Xiao took a few quick steps, deliberately keeping a little distance from Mizuno Reina. He came to the front of the car, picked up Xiao Ai, and whispered quickly in her ear: "Although she heard us talking on the phone, I have successfully made her think that I called you here for her peace of mind, so you just have to act according to circumstances, I will take care of everything!"

The reason why he specifically said this to Xiao Ai at this time was to explain what he had said before in order to make Mizunashi Rena think that he was helping her. Xiao Ai didn't doubt those words and just thought that he said them to cover up his own mistakes. That would be fine! He was afraid that she would suspect that he had said those words on purpose, and that his purpose was to act in order to pick up girls... That would be bad! Therefore, he had to give her a shot of prevention in advance.

After all, Xiao Ai's little head might really think in this direction!

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, Mizuno Rena came to his side.

Little Ai nestled in Lin Xiao's arms, and his little head couldn't help but secretly glance at Mizuno Rena.

Then she was shocked! She had seen this woman before! Wasn't she the host of that TV channel? As soon as Mizuno Reina walked behind Lin Xiao, she saw a furry brown little head popping out from Lin Xiao's arms.

That was a pretty little girl! She was staring at her with a pair of watery, ice-blue eyes. She was so pretty! So cute! Rena Mizuno felt a surge of maternal love overflowing from her heart, and she gave Ai... an extremely gentle, maternal smile.

Xiao Ai: What is she laughing at?

"Whoosh!"

Xiao Ai suddenly shrank back, her body trembling, and she thought with great fear: Lin Xiao's guess was right, she really had the aura of the organization! However, she was also a little confused! The aura seemed... very faint! And if you compare her with Vermouth. If Vermouth had the aura of a sinner, then this woman was at most a "petty thief"! Could it be that this woman was just a marginal figure in the organization, or an extra-staff member, like her sister... Although Xiao Ai thought so, she felt that since Lin Xiao treated this woman so seriously.

It's unlikely that she is... just a nobody!'... Or is there something wrong with my intuition? Then who is she? Xiao Ai looked frustrated. She didn't help Lin Xiao confirm the identity of this woman with her intuition! There was no other way! In this case, she could only carry out the main task of coming here and be a "prop man" for Lin Xiao. She should talk less and watch more! At this time, Lin Xiao sensed the approach of Rena Mizuno, so naturally he could no longer whisper to Xiao Ai.

He first greeted Yukiko who was in the car, and after she drove away, he turned around and faced Mizunashi Rena while holding Ai.

Lin Xiao immediately introduced her with a smile: "Lian Na, this is my sister, her name is Xiao Ai! You can call her that."

Then, she touched Xiao Ai's little head and said softly: "Xiao Ai, call me Sister Reina!"

Xiao Ai also knew that she couldn't stay there any longer, so she could only take a deep breath in Lin Xiao's arms and breathe in Lin Xiao's breath a few more times.

Then, she raised her head and looked at the woman who was suspected to be a member... But then she was stunned! Where is the aura of the organization on this bad woman? Her intuition is completely broken now... A flash of doubt flashed in Xiaoai's big blue eyes.

Fortunately, she had not forgotten Lin Xiao's words. She pretended to be innocent and shouted: "Sister Lian Nai, OK!"

Rena Mizuno's heart melted immediately when she heard the baby voice calling out to her. She didn't know if it was because she had such a good impression of Lin Xiao that she loved him so much, or if it was because Ai had caught Rena Mizuno's cute spot! Maybe it was both factors! Anyway, Rena Mizuno fell in love with this little girl at the first sight! She immediately responded with a smile: "Ai, you too! I have work to do tonight, can you and I go to my sister's house to stay for one night?"

If it weren't for the little girl's timid look, she would have wanted to reach out and touch the little girl's cute little head.

"Sure! Thank you, sister."

Xiao Ai pretended to be a well-behaved child and nodded slightly.

Mizuno Reina was fooled immediately, and immediately smiled and said: "Xiao Ai, you are so good!"

"Reina, I'm sorry to trouble you!"

Lin Xiao spoke quickly.

"No, Xiao Ai is so good!"

Rena Mizuno at this moment.

I just met the Lin Xiao brother and sister and had a very good impression of them.

……

Rena Mizunashi drove the brother and sister to her apartment.
