Conan: The Heart Thief

"So you've been thinking about that kind of thing."

Lin Xiao gently scratched her nose and smiled, "Yes, the most romantic thing is to spend every beautiful moment with you. Especially, being able to ride on Sister Lianzi's body and listen to Sister Lianzi sing a song."

Hearing this, Akiba Reiko's cheeks became even hotter. She reached out and gently patted Lin Xiao's shoulder, and said with a sweet smile, "You are so bad. You only know how to bully me. Then you should quickly find evidence and let the police catch the murderer. I am also tired of being bothered by murder cases."

The rare date was interrupted by a sudden murder. Both of them felt bad and wanted to end this tragedy as soon as possible.

"Of course I know, Sister Lianzi, don't worry, I have found the key evidence!"

“What is the key evidence?”

"This is it, look." Lin Xiao, wearing gloves, picked up a metal piece of door frame lock and handed it to Akitana Reiko to see.

"Is this the evidence?" Reiko Akita couldn't see anything special.

"I'll go talk to the firefighters outside and ask them to set up the air cushion downstairs." Lin Xiao suddenly said, "You ask everyone to gather together, and when I come back, we'll start reasoning."

"Okay. But why set up an air cushion?" Reiko Akita looked at Lin Xiao in confusion.

"Haga Kyousuke graduated from a German music academy." Lin Xiao looked at Akiba Reiko and reminded her, "And in Germany, the next scale sequence of CDEFGA is H, Haga Kyousuke's H."

Akita Reiko's face changed: "He plans to commit suicide!"

"But...why, what was his motive?"

Akiba Reiko couldn't figure it out at all. However, she didn't get hung up on it and told everyone to gather upstairs.

Everything is ready, Lin Xiao begins his reasoning show...

……

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Xiao used reasoning and evidence to expose the murderer Yuga Kyosuke.

Yuga Kyosuke did not try to argue. When Lin Xiao exposed the truth of the crime on the spot, he directly admitted it.

After learning the truth, Lian Xi burst into tears. The murderer turned out to be her uncle, the talented musician whom she admired, Yuga Kyosuke. The blow was too great to bear, and she wanted to seek comfort from Lin Xiao.

"Lian Xi, just cry in my arms."

Reiko Akiba opened her arms to Renki Shitara, and Renki Shitara saw Reiko Akiba's majestic chest, which was soft and big.

"Sister Lianzi, I'm so sad."

Shitara Renxi threw herself into the arms of Akita Reiko. Although she wanted to snuggle in Lin Xiao's arms, Akita Reiko's arms were also great.

Suddenly, Hanega Kyosuke shook off the police who tried to control him, went straight to the window, and jumped down without hesitation.

"Ah! Uncle!"

Renxi Shitara's head buzzed, she was so shocked that her hands and feet went weak and she couldn't use any strength at all.

"It's okay, Lian Xi, Lin Xiao has already taken precautions in advance."

Akiba Reiko helped Renxi up and brought her to the window. Downstairs, Yuga Kyosuke was lying on an air cushion, covering his eyes and smiling bitterly. His suicide, his last H sound, was still ended. Seeing this scene, Renxi seemed to be relieved.

"Lianzi-chan, your boyfriend, Lin Xiao, is awesome. You're so lucky!"

"Yeah. I feel lucky too."

Qiu Ting Lianzi looked at Lin Xiao, the gentleman as handsome as jade and unparalleled in the world, and felt a sense of happiness in her heart. Her fiancé was such a great boy. Could there be anything happier than this?

Lin Xiao looked back at Qiu Ting Lianzi with a look as warm as the morning sun.

The butler Jinqu beside him had a complicated expression, and finally could only sigh helplessly. Diao Yilang stood aside, with no intention of checking whether his nephew was alive or dead. He just stood there expressionlessly, coughing dryly with numb eyes.

When the surviving Yuga Kyosuke was escorted to the police car by the police, Renxi just took a last look at him beside Akiba Reiko and did not follow to see him off.

She didn't know how to face the person she admired the most. His father had an accident because of her father, and her father was pushed to death by him.

When will the cycle of revenge end? Only forgiveness and letting go can resolve hatred.

The violin, a relic of his father left by Yuga Kyosuke, lay quietly on the table, as if it had witnessed the last grudges and hatreds of the Shitara family.

Inspector Megure is arranging for the police to take Choichiro away with them. He wants to know the details behind this case and the accident that happened thirty years ago.

"Renxi... Dad has done a lot of wrong things in the past. The future of the Shitara family is now in your hands."

"dad……"

Lian Xi looked at her father being taken away, not knowing what to do.

In fact, even if Shitara Choichiro was left alone, he would only have less than half a year left.

Choichiro finally gave his last instructions to his remaining blood relatives, and then obediently followed the police and left. It is believed that soon, the inheritance rights of the Shitara family will be handed over to Renxi, the only heir of the Shitara family.

"Ms. Qiu Ting, could you please help me send the young lady back to her room?" Butler Jin Qu bowed slightly and looked at Reiko Qiu Ting respectfully.

"Okay, housekeeper." Akita Reiko nodded, helped up the dazed Renki Shitara beside her, and comforted her softly, "Renki, I'll accompany you back to your room."

Reiko Akiba carefully supported the dazed Lian Xi, spoke to her in a soft voice, and settled her down. Only when her tears had dried and she fell into a peaceful sleep did Reiko Akiba feel relieved.

In the hall, Butler Jinqu and Lin Xiao sat opposite each other, with the light softly shining on the coffee table between them.

"Detective Lin, thank you so much. If you hadn't found the real murderer in time, this matter might have been more difficult." The butler picked up the teacup and expressed his sincere gratitude to Lin Xiao.

"You're welcome." Lin Xiao responded calmly.

"I have arranged accommodation for you and Miss Qiu Ting tonight. I hope you can have a good rest." The butler slowly stood up and smiled slightly.

"Thank you very much."

As the night deepened, Lin Xiao returned to the guest room arranged by Jinqu's housekeeper. He lay on the soft bed, closed his eyes and rested, but his mind was still sorting out the details of the case. There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in," he said, sitting up.

It was Akiba Reiko who entered the room. She closed the door and turned around to lock it. Without hesitation, she elegantly unbuttoned her coat, revealing a white lace bra. Her steps were calm, with a confidence and composure that belonged only to her.

Lin Xiao raised his head and looked at her in front of him with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

"How is Lian Xi now?" he asked.

"She cried for a while, and finally got tired and fell asleep."

Reiko Akiba answered, her voice soft but a little hoarse.

"That's good." Lin Xiao nodded, with a hint of comfort in his tone.

Reiko Akiba moved closer to him, sitting on the edge of the bed and gently touching his arm, "I was thinking about taking Renxi out for a walk tomorrow. She needs to get away from here and get some fresh air. You can come too."

Lin Xiao's eyes softened and he nodded, "Okay."

At this moment, Reiko Akiba took off all her disguises and showed her truest side. Lin Xiao gently raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder. His eyes swept over her fair skin and graceful figure. It seemed that at this moment, he felt her presence so clearly for the first time.

"Can I hug you?" His voice was low and tentative.

Qiu Ting Lianzi smiled, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, "Of course, I will always be your woman."

She leaned forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, and approached his lips, with a faint fragrance, gentle but warm. The two embraced, the air was filled with warmth, and the night became darker.

Chapter 417 Three-person tour

In the early morning, the sun shines into the room through the curtains. Lin Xiao and Akiba Reiko are not in a hurry to leave, but stay with Shitara Renki attentively, and decide to take her out to relax and soothe her mood. The three of them stroll in the fresh air, at a leisurely pace, appearing intimate and warm.

Lian Xi wore a close-fitting mini skirt today, paired with a sweater with fluffy sleeves. Although the overall outfit was simple, it made her temperament particularly fresh and attractive. The soft lines of the sweater and the exquisite tailoring of the mini skirt outlined her slender figure. Even if it was a casual outfit, it still made people unable to take their eyes off her.

Reiko changed into a white printed dress, the fabric was light and it outlined her elegant figure. Her long wavy hair was casually tied up, revealing her full forehead and slightly upturned widow's peak, which made her look even more gentle and lovely. Every step she took was elegant and peaceful, like a breeze blowing on your face.

Lin Xiao walked behind them, his eyes lingering between the two of them. Lian Xi and Lian Zi each had their own merits, one was fresh and lovely, the other was gentle and moving. To him, they were both walking works of art, and he couldn't help but have the urge to hug them at the same time. However, this trip had a more important purpose - to help Lian Xi cheer up again.

Lianzi always stays by Lianxi's side, talking to her intimately and calming her emotions, while Lin Xiao silently plays the role of a flower protector, using his steady aura to provide protection for the two girls.

The three of them took a car and finally arrived at their destination, Takeshima Aquarium. In front of the aquarium gate, tourists lined up in twos and threes, and children's laughter could be vaguely heard.

"I'll go buy the tickets. You guys wait here." Lin Xiao took the initiative to say, and then walked straight to the ticket window.

Lianzi held Lianxi's hand, looked at Lin Xiao's back, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Reiko-chan, your boyfriend is so sweet," Lian Xi said with a hint of envy in her tone.

"Yes," Lianzi's eyes softened and she nodded slightly, "Knowing Lin Xiao is the luckiest thing in my life."

After hearing this, Lian Xi's eyes moistened slightly, and she said softly: "Reiko-chan, I was worried that you would be immersed in Soma's departure and would never get over it. Now that I see you so happy, I am really happy for you."

Reiko patted Renxi's hand gently and comforted her softly: "Renxi-chan, you don't have to worry about me anymore. Now, the matter of Soma is over, and you also have your own responsibilities. The future of the Shitara family needs you to support it alone."

Lian Xi lowered her head, her eyes complicated, and she murmured as if talking to herself: "Yes, yes...it would be nice if someone could stay with me and share all this..."

At this point, she raised her head and her eyes involuntarily turned to Lin Xiao who was patiently waiting in line. His upright figure, warm personality, and deep affection for Lianzi all moved Lianxi. However, she knew clearly in her heart that he was Lianzi's boyfriend - the support of her best friend. No matter how much she liked him, she would never do something that would destroy other people's happiness.

Lian Xi took a deep breath, suppressed her complicated emotions deep in her heart, forced a smile on her lips, and continued chatting with Lian Zi, as if nothing had happened. However, the emotion that passed by, like ripples, could not dissipate for a long time in the lake of her heart.

……

The exhibition hall of Takeshima Aquarium is small, with only one floor, and you can walk through it in a few minutes. However, despite the limited space, it is always crowded with tourists and has its own unique charm.

One of the features of the exhibition hall is that there are handwritten introductions posted by employees next to each water tank. These explanations are not only detailed and vivid, but also mixed with humor, especially when describing the edible evaluation of certain creatures, which makes people laugh. Such content can't help but remind people that if Xiaolan came here, she would definitely spend a whole day reading it.

"Lianxi, it says here that Chinese horseshoe crab is not tasty!" Lianzi pointed to a section of the description and said with a mischievous smile.

"Yeah, those guys' blood is blue, which sounds scary." Lian Xi responded while looking at the instructions carefully, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.

Not far away, a slightly larger exhibition tank caught Reiko's attention: "Wow, there are so many naked eels here!"

Following the direction of her finger, there were a dozen or so naked eels in the water tank twisting their slender bodies and swimming in the water. The instructions next to the water tank were extremely detailed, and even the subtle differences between species were clearly marked.

"Does the naked-breasted eel need to be divided into so many species?" Lian Xi couldn't help but wonder as she looked at the instructions.

Lin Xiao interrupted and explained: "Well... it should be necessary. Biodiversity or something, anyway, there are similar reasons."

Lian Xi was amused by Lin Xiao's serious look. She nodded and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. There's nothing we can do." She smiled at Lin Xiao, with a hint of relief in her smile.

As the three of them were strolling, a conspicuous exhibition water tank suddenly appeared in the middle of the passage. This was a water tank about the size of three tatami mats, and the interior could be clearly seen from the top and side.

Lianzi was the first to be attracted and walked quickly to the water tank. Lianxi and Lin Xiao lagged behind and looked at each other. Lin Xiao's eyes were as gentle as always, but Lianxi felt her heartbeat quicken for some reason.

"Lian Xi, Xiao, come and take a look!" Lian Zi's voice came.

"Oh, okay." Lian Xi responded quickly.

"Yes, here I come." Lin Xiao also followed.

The tank was filled with stacked plate-like corals, and colorful tropical fish swam among them, like a swimming rainbow. Looking at this vibrant scene, the three people's original fatigue was swept away, and their mood suddenly became relaxed.

Afterwards, they viewed sharks, jellyfish, capybaras and other rare aquatic animals, and their laughter and joy were recorded in almost every exhibition area.

Before they knew it, the aquarium's most popular sea lion show was about to begin. The three of them walked through the automatic door to the outdoor venue, where a fresh breeze blew in their faces.
