Conan: The Heart Thief

Chapter 33 Kudo Yukiko's warning to her son

After Lin Xiao came out of Asuka Shibasaki's heart palace, he obtained a new demon mask.

He is a demon as ugly as the one inside Asuka Shibasaki.

Black Slime: The evil will that cannot obtain a solid form finally degenerates into an amorphous monster. Its appearance is just like its name, a ball of black sticky mud, which only preys on food and makes its body continue to grow.

Unique ability: Suffocating plague.

At the same time, Kudo Yukiko also came out of Anzai Ema's heart palace with an expression of unsatisfied expression on her face.

"Lin Xiao, do you know? I taught Anxi Ema a lesson in her heart palace. Anxi Ema was scared to death of me."

"Uh... I can imagine it." Lin Xiao's forehead was sweating.

Although Shibasaki Asuka and Anzai Ema are bad, their hearts are not as strong as they appear. After the two girls' bad hearts were stolen by Lin Xiao and Kudo Yukiko respectively, they regained their kindness.

The two women knelt in front of Rie Akechi, crying and repenting, asking for her forgiveness. The two vicious women who had been so arrogant and domineering just now suddenly changed their nature, leaving Rie Akechi puzzled.

At first, Rie Akechi thought the two women were acting, until they apologized to the public in the newspaper, turned themselves in to the police, and confessed their past illegal and criminal behaviors. Only then did Rie Akechi believe that they were truly repenting.

Rie Akechi knew that if Suzuka Sakurako were still alive, she would definitely forgive Shibasaki Asuka and Anzai Ema when she saw them sincerely repenting. This would be the best outcome.

……

After the trip, Kudo Yukiko returned to Tokyo and stayed alone in the Kudo family's big villa, feeling upset.

Originally, her plan was to pretend to be Kudo Shinichi and confess to Xiaolan to confirm their relationship. However, when the time came, she backed off. The reason was that she had a feeling that her confession would not succeed. If it failed, she would not be able to explain to Conan. What was worse was that someone had left a deep impression on her that could not be erased.

At noon, after school, Conan did not go home directly, but ran to Kudo's house.

At home, a variety show was playing on TV. Yukiko Kudo was wearing a cool suspender dress, sitting on the sofa, holding the remote control, thinking about something. So much so that she didn't even notice Conan running in front of her.

"Mom, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Ah? Xiaoxin, when did you come?"

Yukiko was surprised when she saw her chubby son in front of her.

"Just now."

"Oh."

"How about it?"

"How about what?"

"You said you wanted to disguise yourself as me, confess your feelings to Xiaolan, and confirm our relationship. Did you succeed?"

Conan asked nervously.

"There was no chance at all... I had a bad feeling so I gave up..." Kudo Yukiko said bitterly.

"How could this happen?" Conan's face darkened. "Is it Lin Xiao who is causing trouble?"

"That's not the case... Lin Xiao not only didn't cause any trouble, he even helped me cover up..."

"That's impossible... I feel like Xiaolan has feelings for me..."

"If that's the case, why haven't you confessed to Xiaolan yet?"

Yukiko Kudo was very depressed. If her son had successfully confessed his feelings to Xiaolan, given Xiaolan's personality, no man would be able to interfere.

"Ah..." Conan was embarrassed, "I wanted to wait for Xiaolan to confess to me..."

What Conan said is not wrong. Generally speaking, it is quite common for girls to confess their love to boys in Japanese schools.

"Don't think I don't know that you're the guy who always stands Xiaolan up on dates. How can Xiaolan dare to confess her love to you!" No one knows a child better than his mother. Kudo Yukiko knows that her son has an arrogant personality. The stagnant relationship between her son and his childhood sweetheart is definitely her son's fault.

"I have my reasons..." Conan thought to himself that he couldn't be blamed for always encountering cases when he was dating Xiaolan. However, he didn't dare to tell his mother that, because she would definitely criticize him again.

"Xiao Xin, what other excuses do you want to make?"

Kudo Yukiko glared at Conan sternly, and Conan felt creepy and had to apologize obediently.

"sorry."

"In short, my plan of pretending to be you confessing to Xiaolan is not feasible. Not only do you have big problems and are not qualified, but Xiaolan has become very smart now and seems to be able to see that I am not the real Kudo Shinichi."

"What should we do then?" Conan was obviously panicking.

"You ask me, but I don't know what to do either." Kudo Yukiko spread her hands. It wasn't that she didn't want to help her son, but she really couldn't think of any good solution.

"I don't want this kind of result... I don't want to lose Xiaolan, Mom, you must help me find a solution..." Conan was so anxious that he burst into tears.

Seeing the pitiful look of her silly son, Yukiko Kudo couldn't bear it.

"I'll think of another way for you." Yukiko Kudo felt troubled.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to remind you." Kudo Yukiko suddenly remembered something.

"whats the matter?"

"You stay in the Maori Detective Agency, and you must not let Maori Kogoro know that you are Kudo Shinichi, do you hear me?"

"why?"

"When I was a classmate of Maori Kogoro, Maori Kogoro often had his eyes on me. If Maori Kogoro knew that you were Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan would probably become your brother or sister."

"No way... Uncle Mori can't be so disgusting." Conan looked at his young and beautiful mother in front of him, and even he himself felt moved, not to mention that pervert Kogoro Mori.

"You expect a rubbish man who can shoot his own wife to have good character? The thing I regret most is that I brought Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri together!" Ever since Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri separated, Yukiko Kudo has been quite disgusted with Kogoro Mouri.

"Uh……"

Conan also knew about the incident in which Maori Kogoro shot Xiaolan's mother. He also couldn't understand why Maori Kogoro, as a criminal policeman, shot Xiaolan's mother instead of the criminals when Xiaolan's mother was kidnapped and held hostage by the criminals?

That incident had an extremely bad social impact on Japan. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department lost its reputation and Kogoro Mouri, a criminal policeman, resigned under pressure from public opinion. Conan's mother also left Kogoro Mouri because of this.

As the saying goes, you can never know a person's heart by his appearance, Conan is not sure about the character of Maori Kogoro. If Maori Kogoro knew his true identity and threatened his mother to surrender, Conan would definitely want to die.

"I understand. I will pay more attention. The most urgent thing is that I have to find a way to recover as soon as possible. Dad said he would help me find an antidote. How is the progress?"

"I don't know either..." Kudo Yukiko crossed her arms and shook her head, "Your father reminded me that the organization is very dangerous. Unless it's something urgent, don't contact them."

Chapter 34 Hug left and right

At Teitan High School, after the morning classes ended, Lin Xiao rushed to the cafeteria to buy lunch as usual.

"Mr. Lin, please stay."

Lin Xiao was stopped by Xiaolan.

"whats the matter……"

Lin Xiao's forehead was covered with sweat and he was obviously very anxious. He looked afraid that if he arrived a step late, the delicious food in the cafeteria would be sold out.

"Lin Jun, I noticed that you always rush to the cafeteria at noon in school. It's inconvenient, so I brought you a lunch box."

"Huh?" Lin Xiao really didn't expect that Xiaolan would suddenly bring him a lunch box.

"I don't know if it suits your taste. If you like it, I can bring you an extra lunch box in the future."

"..."

Lin Xiao was very touched, Xiaolan is really an angel.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Lin Xiao wanted to refuse, but his hand involuntarily took the lunch box that Xiaolan handed to him.

I opened the lunch box and saw that it contained teriyaki egg rolls, seaweed rice balls, grilled meat... It was delicious and tasty. It was a hundred times better than the fast food in the crappy cafeteria.

"Then I won't be polite."

Lin Xiao started eating right away.

"How about it?"

Xiaolan looked at Lin Xiao expectantly as he ate with gusto.

"Delicious."

"It's settled then. I will bring lunch for you, Lin Jun, from now on."

"Xiaolan, if you bring me a lunch box, I have to give you lunch money?"

"No need. I used to bring lunch for Shinichi, but now I don't know where Shinichi is. Now, it's okay for me to bring your lunch. You are my friend just like Shinichi!"

Lin Xiao would rather obey than be polite. He was too lazy to pretend. Who would want to squeeze into the cafeteria when there were delicious lunch boxes?

Yuanzi, who was sitting in the front row, was speechless when she saw the two of them.

"What is Shinichi doing? It's fine that he didn't get along well with Xiaolan during the trip I arranged last time, but now what are Lin Xiao and Xiaolan up to?"

Yuanzi suppressed her discomfort and decided to give Lin Xiao a surprise tomorrow. She had wanted to do this for a long time, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

In the afternoon, after school...

Yuanzi and Xiaolan did not go to the club, but took Lin Xiao out to play.

The two beautiful girls were on Lin Xiao's left and right, giving people the illusion that Lin Xiao was surrounded by girls. Fortunately, there was an elementary school student with dead eyes next to the three of them, so there was no misunderstanding.

The three of them went out to play and happened to meet Conan. It was just such a coincidence. Conan naturally would not pretend not to see them and insisted on following them and acting as a light bulb.

With Conan's joining, Conan frequently gave Lin Xiao a look, suggesting that Lin Xiao should not get too close to Xiaolan, but Lin Xiao ignored him.

The reason is simple. Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan are childhood sweethearts. What's more, Kudo Shinichi has now become Edogawa Conan, so he can't do anything about it.

Lin Xiao was so happy when he saw Conan's jealous look that he even said some cheesy love words on purpose, making Yuanzi and Xiaolan's hearts tremble.

The three of them were laughing and no one cared about Conan's sadness.

Conan actually knew that if he couldn't turn back into Kudo Shinichi, he and Xiaolan would never be together. It's impossible for an elementary school student to drive a high school student's car...

The four of them came to the casino.

Lin Xiao and the two girls happily took headshots, making all kinds of funny expressions.

Taking headshots has always been popular in Japan, and this has not changed even with the advancement of technology.

Conan also wanted to join, but unfortunately he couldn't fit in. Who can blame him for being an elementary school student?

“I’m so tired… I took so many photos…”

Yuanzi happily pulled out a stack of photos from the machine and handed them to Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, take a look!"
