Conan: The Heart Thief

Chun Teng Jianwu put one hand on the table and spoke slowly.

Gao Mu then asked: "Who called that phone call?"

"No, I don't know. It seemed like a sales call or something. He started talking nonstop. I cursed a few times and then he hung up!"

"Sales call?"

"Yes, it is……"

Chun Teng Jianwu answered carefully, but suddenly realized something was wrong and shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, no, no, no, it's not a sales call, it's a call from my friend, my friend, friend..."

"It's not a sales call but a call from a friend? Are you sure? Are you going to change it?"

"No, I won't change it. It's just a sales call. It should be a sales call..."

Chun Teng Jianwu's words are a bit inconsistent.

"Then when you returned to the store after making the call, you got the news that someone had been beaten to death in the store's bathroom and the cash register was broken. Then you stayed at your seat until the police arrived?"

"Yes, it is……"

"I understand. Mr. Chun Teng, please give your phone to the police identification department first. They will confirm who you were talking to and when."

"Ah...Okay, okay."

Chun Teng Jianwu was sweating as he slowly handed the phone to a criminal police officer.

"My name is Takuzai Kuma. I left my seat at eight o'clock because I ran out of cigarettes, so I went out to buy some..."

Takuya Kuma seemed very nervous, and he was a little afraid to look Takagi Wataru in the eye.

Lin Xiao discovered that his eyes seemed to be fixed on the table where he originally sat not far away.

"And then? You, too? You came back from buying cigarettes and saw the store in chaos. The police were there, right?"

Takagi asked.

"Yes, it is……"

Jiujian Zhuozai nodded.

"You mean to say that when you came back the police were already in the store?"

"No, no, the police hadn't arrived yet when I came back, but the store was already in chaos..."

Jiu Jianzhu hurriedly explained.

At this moment, Lin Xiao on the side said, "Okay, I already know who the murderer is?"

Takagi Wataru was shocked and asked, "Is it true?"

He Ye looked at Lin Xiao with admiration. He was able to judge who the murderer was just based on a few words from the suspect. Lin Xiao was so amazing.

In fact, Lin Xiao just recalled the plot and did not make any reasoning at all.

Lin Xiao stared at Jiujian Zhuo and said, "The murderer is you, Jiujian Zhuo."

Jiu Jianzhuo shook his head in panic and argued: "No, I am not the murderer. Why do you say I am the murderer? You have no evidence."

Lin Xiao pushed over a popcorn box on the bar counter, and a baseball fell out of the popcorn box.

Lin Xiao said: "This baseball is the evidence. In order to steal Kunimitsu's baseball, you knocked him down with a mop and took the baseball away. There must be your and Kunimitsu's fingerprints on the baseball. How do you want to explain it?"

Jiu Jianzhuo was horrified and trembling as he said, "How did you find out?"

Lin Xiao snorted and said, "If someone doesn't know, then don't do it yourself."

When Takagi Wataru saw that Lin Xiao had found the murderer, he excitedly shouted to the identification department to take the baseball away.

Then, in despair, Taku Jiujian confessed his guilt.

At the same time, Takagi Wataru received a phone call reporting that Kunisue Shodown had woken up.

"It's unbelievable that you would hurt someone just for a baseball. Fortunately, no one was killed. You are lucky. Reflect on your actions in prison."

Takagi Wataru warned.

Kazuha said to Takagi Wataru, "Mr. Officer, the amulet in Kunisue Zhaoming's wallet is mine. Now that the case has been solved, can you return it to me?"

Takagi Wataru thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Miss, you are a friend of Kunisue Shoji, right? Please return this wallet to Mr. Kunisue Shoji as well."

"Eh?"

Kazuha took the wallet and amulet handed to her by Takagi Wataru and was a little at a loss.

Lin Xiao approached He Ye, put his arm around He Ye's shoulders and said, "Kunisue Lighting is at Mika Hospital. I'll drive you there."

He Ye nodded shyly: "Hmm..."

……

The two came to the Mika Hospital. When Kunisue Zhaoming woke up and learned that He Ye specially returned his wallet, he seemed particularly happy. However, the handsome guy Lin Xiao standing next to He Ye made him very uncomfortable.

"He Ye, can I talk to you alone for a few words?"

Kunisue Zhaoming said to He Ye sincerely, and then looked at Lin Xiao with hostility.

"Just say whatever you want to say. Lin Xiao is my good friend, not an outsider."

"No, I have something to say now, and I want to talk to you in person, is that ok?"

He Ye looked at Lin Xiao hesitantly, not knowing what to do.

Lin Xiao said to He Ye generously: "He Ye, I'll wait for you in the rest area."

"Ok."

……

Lin Xiao sat on a chair in the rest area, waiting quietly. He guessed what Guomo Zhaoming wanted to do, probably to confess to He Ye.

Originally, Kunisue should have been desperate when he saw the photo of Hattori Heiji in the amulet. However, when he saw that Kazuha was very close to another boy, he rekindled a glimmer of hope and wanted to fight back.

Just as Lin Xiao thought, Guo Mo confessed his love to He Ye, but was naturally rejected by He Ye. This was because He Ye only regarded him as a brother who led the family, and did not have any feelings of love.

What Lin Xiao didn't expect was that Hattori Heiji suddenly appeared in a hurry and bumped into Toyama Kazuha who was coming out of Kunisue's ward.

"Heiji, why are you here?"

He Ye said in surprise.

"That's what I was asking you. Could it be that you, like me, came here specially to visit Guo Mo?"

"Not exactly. Am I here to return his wallet? I've already taken back the amulet you gave him without permission. Since you don't like it so much, I won't make it for you in the future."

"And then? What else did you say to Kunisue? You came to visit Kunisue alone, so it should be more than just that, right?"

Thinking about the fact that Kazuha had just been in the same room with Kunisue, Hattori Heiji felt a little unhappy.

"It's that simple, but something else did happen. Did Kunisue just confess his love to me?"

"What? Confession!"

"Can you please stop being so loud? Others might hear us. It's so embarrassing."

"And then? Did you promise him?"

Hattori Heiji asked nervously.

"I rejected him."

After hearing Kazuha's answer, Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed and said, "That's right, you fool, don't harm others. It's a rare opportunity for you to do the right thing!"

"You are the fool. Who do you think I rejected Kunisaki for?"

"Alas... No one will want a fool like you. You need to know yourself. Do you understand?"

In fact, Hattori Heiji's subconscious mind is that only he would want a fool like you. However, the simple-minded Kazuha doesn't have so many twists and turns in her mind, so how could she guess Hattori Heiji's timid thoughts.

"Okay, I'm a fool, are you satisfied now?"

He Ye's face turned red with anger and he looked like he was about to cry.

"No way, He Ye, why do you look like you're about to cry? Are you just like a child?"

"Hate it, I don't want you to care about you anymore."

He Ye wiped his eyes that were about to shed tears and ran away angrily.

Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment. He wanted to chase him, but then he remembered that he came here to visit Kunisue Zhaozhao. He just got the news that Kunisue was attacked, so he came to Beika Hospital from Osaka. If he left now, it would be a waste of time. Hattori Heiji had a good relationship with Kunisue Zhaozhao, otherwise he would not have lent him the amulet.

"I'm here to look for Kunisue, what is Rikazuha doing? She can come to Tokyo alone, and of course she can go back to Osaka alone." Hattori Heiji, who was suffering from male chauvinism, was very dissatisfied with Toyama Kazuha's willfulness. After entering Kunisue's ward, he didn't care about Toyama Kazuha anymore.

When Lin Xiao saw Yuanshan Heye coming out sobbing, he hurried forward to comfort them.

"He Ye, why are you crying? Can you tell me what happened?"

“…Nothing.”

The way Ye Qiangyan smiles is really heartbreaking.

"You're still saying it's nothing? You're already crying. Talk about the unpleasant things, and you'll feel better."

"Actually, I just ran into Hattori Heiji."

"That's it."

"I spent so much effort to find the amulet I gave him. Not only did he not understand me, he even spoke rudely to me!"

Kazuha recalled that Hattori Heiji gave the amulet she gave him to someone else and spoke ill of her. She couldn't help feeling sad and started crying again.

"Don't cry. I don't think Hattori Heiji meant it. It's probably because we are just friends and we are used to being so carefree."

Lin Xiao was telling He Ye that Hattori Heiji had always treated her as a friend, and even if he said something excessive, it was just a joke between friends, and she shouldn't take it to heart.

"Is that so? It turns out that he has always only considered me a friend. That's right, otherwise, why would he give the amulet I gave him to someone else?"

Thinking of this, Kazuha was no longer sad. Last time, Hattori Heiji gave the amulet to Conan, and it was not the first time that Hattori Heiji did such a thing. She could not blame others if she was still stubborn.

"I'll take you to Tokyo to play. It's just the two of us, so just ignore Heiji." Lin Xiao comforted.

"Are you trying to steal Heiji's girl?" Yuanshan Heye asked with a blushing face.

"You can reject me." Lin Xiao was indeed planning to poach Hattori Heiji. Hattori Heiji was treated the same as Conan. His childhood sweetheart and mother were both Lin Xiao's.

"I'm not that stupid." Yuanshan Heye agreed without thinking.

The two walked side by side on the commercial street of Osaka. At this moment, Kazuha had changed into summer clothes. Her hair was tied with a bright yellow headband and she wore a light blue knee-length dress, revealing a pair of healthy and slender legs. She wore a pair of blue high-heeled sandals, and her crystal clear toes, which were painted with light orange nail polish, could also be seen.
