Conan: The Heart Thief

Lin Xiao exclaimed in admiration.

"Compared to Miwako?"

Yumi Miyamoto lightly lifted her long, silky hair and smiled slyly.

“Just as beautiful.”

"This kind of answer will only reduce your marks!"

There was a faint smile on Yumi Miyamoto's lips, warm yet distant, like the first blooming cherry blossoms in spring, beautiful yet with a hint of imperceptible sadness.

At this time, words are superfluous, and the more you say, the more mistakes you make. Lin Xiao directly kissed Miyamoto Yumi deeply. No answer could be as direct as a kiss.

Yumi Miyamoto's lips are fresh, sweet and refreshing.

"Mmmmmmm..."

Soon, Yumi Miyamoto was immersed in the deep kiss, a beautiful blush appeared on her fair skin, and she no longer worried about the fact that Lin Xiao was the boyfriend of her good friend Miwako Sato.

Chapter 455: Puff Puff Puff...

Lin Xiao hugged Miyamoto Yumi's long beautiful legs... Puff puff puff...

Yumi Miyamoto said with a kind look: "Great!"

Yumi Miyamoto is not young anymore and has reached the age to get married. Only now do she experience the joy of love between a man and a woman, as if a window has been opened in her heart.

Miyamoto Yumi and Lin Xiao stayed in the apartment all day and all night, and even took a day off. Happiness dominated Miyamoto Yumi's will, so much so that she forgot her guilt towards Miwako.

……

A new day, noon.

The sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and fell on the couple lying on the bed.

Miyamoto Yumi and Lin Xiaocai got up and went out. It was mainly because they had not eaten for a long time and had been exercising all the time, so they were starving and had to go out to find food.

Coincidentally, when the two went to the restaurant to eat, they ran into Miike Naoko who was on duty.

"Sister Yumi, you took a special leave just to date Detective Lin. I was worried about you."

Miike Naeko revealed the secret, and Miyamoto Yumi looked embarrassed. After all, Miike Naeko also knew that Lin Xiao was actually Miwako's boyfriend.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was very calm and instead extended an invitation to Sanchi Miaozi.

"Officer Miaozi, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Why don't we eat together? It's my treat."

"Al?"

Michi Naoko was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "No, I won't disturb your date."

In order to ease the embarrassment, Yumi Miyamoto also said: "Miaozi, it's not what you think! We are just going out to have lunch. You can come too."

Miike Naoko blinked her eyes and really thought that she had misunderstood. After all, Lin Xiao was Miwako's boyfriend, and it was not possible that he had any special relationship with Sister Yumi.

"Is that so? Okay then."

Miike Miaozi smiled gently.

Then, the three of them went to eat conveyor belt sushi and ate their fill.

Just as she walked out of the store, Miike Naeko received a call from her best friend Ito Chitose. ...

After hearing what was said on the phone, Miike Naeko exclaimed: "What? Chitose, are you saying someone was killed!"

Miyamoto Yumi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Miike Naoko said, "Someone has died in the home of my best friend who I work for as a maid. I have to go and take a look, Senior."

Miyamoto Yumi looked embarrassed: "But... we are traffic police..."

Sanchi Miaozi was speechless for a moment: "Then...what should I do?"

At this time, Lin Xiao made a suggestion: "How about this, Officer Miaozi. Let your best friend call the police first, and then we can go to the scene together."

"Okay! I understand." Sanchi Miaozi seemed to have found his backbone and immediately acted according to Lin Xiao's instructions.

Afterwards, the three drove to the nearby Yingmihua Building and went straight to Room 1802 on the th floor, where the murder occurred.

The Yingmihua Building was very close, only a few hundred meters away. After a few minutes, they arrived at their destination.

Take the elevator directly to the 1802th floor and finally stop in front of Room .

Lin Xiao knocked on the door gently.

"Excuse me, who are you?" A female voice came from inside the door.

"It's me, Chitose!" responded Miike Naoko.

After confirming that it was her best friend, the door slowly opened.

"Niaozi, you're here at last. Something big happened at my workplace. The hostess passed away. I was panicked and called you." Then, Ito Chitose noticed the man and woman standing next to Miike Miaozi, "They are..."

Miike Naoko quickly introduced: "This is my senior Miyamoto Yumi, and this is the high school detective Lin Xiao."

Chitose Ito nodded, welcomed the three people into the house and took them to a bedroom.

In the bedroom, a man in a light blue coat was standing with his head down, looking sad.

In the middle of the bedroom, a woman in her thirties was hanging from the ceiling. She had lost all signs of life, with her tongue sticking out, looking horrifying.

"Ah!" As a rookie traffic policeman, Miike Naoko was shocked by the scene in front of her.

"This... looks like suicide." Yumi Miyamoto frowned. She was not good at criminal cases.

The man noticed the people coming in, was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Ms. Ito, may I ask who these people are..."

Chitose Ito explained: "They are police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department."

There was a flash of distrust in the man's eyes: "Just you guys?"

Miike Naeko took out her police ID and said to the man with a righteous look on her face: "I am a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department, and my colleagues will be here soon."

The man finally felt relieved and introduced himself: "I am Itami Naginobu, the male owner of this room."

At the same time, Lin Xiao put on gloves and began to conduct a preliminary investigation of the scene. As a high school detective, he naturally has the right to investigate the case.

Preliminary judgment is that the deceased died of suffocation due to hanging, but whether it was suicide requires further investigation.

Soon, Lin Xiao noticed a note under the body.

"There is a note under the body? What's going on?" he asked puzzledly.

"That's my wife's suicide note," replied Itami Naganobu.

"Suicide note? Is it really suicide?" Miyamoto Yumi couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao.

"It's impossible to be sure right now." Lin Xiao responded calmly.

He turned to Ito and Itami and asked, "So, can you two tell us what happened before and after the body was found?"

"Okay!" Itami nodded and began to narrate: "More than an hour ago, I had a heated argument with my wife Chiyoko. In order to calm her down, I decided to leave temporarily and go out shopping with this maid, right?"

"Yes, because we ran out of ingredients for dinner at home, so we went to the supermarket with Mr. Itami," Chitose Ito agreed.

"This is what happened," Idan continued. "My wife broke her wrist and couldn't do housework, so we hired a maid. But she still lost control of her emotions and made a scene."

"When she gets angry, she likes to throw things around. She even accidentally hurt my eyes." As Yidan said this, he raised his right sunglasses to reveal his bruised eye.

"Your eyes...were they injured by your wife?" Yumi Miyamoto asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's why I have to ask for leave from the company today." Yidan replied helplessly.

"When you came back, you found that your wife had already..." Yumi Miyamoto asked tentatively.

"No, it was about 30 minutes after we came back?" Ito Chitose recalled: "When we opened the door and came in, we heard the bedroom door slam shut."

"My wife should have been alive at the time. We knocked on the door to inquire about the situation, but she seemed to be still angry and did not respond."

Yidan took over the conversation: "After that, I asked the maid to make coffee and chatted with her for 30 minutes. After knocking on the door again and going in, I saw that horrible scene."

"I never thought... my wife would..." over such a small matter... Yidan closed his eyes, looking very painful.

"Is that so..." Lin Xiao nodded slightly and looked at the suicide note under the body: "Then is this suicide note confirmed to be written by your wife?"

"Yes! She definitely wrote it herself!" Itami answered firmly, "In her suicide note, she also mentioned that she was worried about my injury, my son's exams, and my sister's daughter who was preparing for the Shichi-Go-San Festival this year."

"She also wrote a letter asking her parents to forgive her for being unfilial. She's gone first... wuwuwu!" Idan covered her face and cried.

Chapter 456 Chitose Ito

Lin Xiao opened the suicide note, and the content was basically the same as what Yidan said.

Miike Naeko and Miyamoto Yumi, who were standing by, also came over to take a look at the suicide note.

After they looked at it, they said in unison: "No matter how you look at it, this should be suicide."

"No, it was homicide." Lin Xiao denied the two's judgment.

"Huh?" Both girls looked surprised.

Lin Xiao came to the desk in the bedroom, where there was a ring-bound notebook with two pages torn off.

He pointed at the notebook and said, "The suicide note on the ground looks like it was written on paper torn from this notebook, but look carefully, there are two holes left on the notebook buckle, while the suicide note has three holes torn off."

"Huh?" Miyamoto Yumi looked at the suicide note and was immediately surprised: "It's true!"

"There's more." Lin Xiao put on gloves and overturned the trash can under the table. Countless paper balls rolled out.

He unfolded the paper ball and showed it to everyone: "It seems that my wife also wrote on the notebook and tore it off before, but the signature in the end was just Chiyoko."

"And the suicide note was signed 'Itami Chiyoko'. Don't you find it strange?"

Miike Naoko looked at the suicide note again, her eyes widened slightly: "It's true!"

"So, whether this suicide note was left by my wife or not is still a big question mark." Lin Xiao said lightly.

As soon as Lin Xiao said this, everyone's expressions changed.

He looked at Itami again: "Mr. Itami, was the door locked when you came back?"

"Yes, I was the one who opened the door at that time," Ito replied.

"Then who has the key?" Yumi Miyamoto asked.
