Conan: The Heart Thief

Suzuki Sonoko suggested: "Next, of course, we should hold a celebration banquet."

Mao Lilan hesitated: "There was a murder in the gymnasium, but we are going to hold a celebration party. Is this okay?"

Takei Naoko said disapprovingly: "The murder case has nothing to do with us, so what's wrong with that?"

Mao Lilan looked at Lin Xiao, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Lin Xiao said calmly: "The police are here, just leave anything to the police."

Suzuki Sonoko smiled and punched Lin Xiao on the back: "Mr. Lin, what you said is really good. If it were Shinichi, he would definitely be trying to catch the rat with the dog."

Mao Lilan defended Kudo Shinichi: "Shinichi is a high school detective, he is different."

Suzuki Sonoko said: "Lin Jun is also a high school detective, and he is also certified by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!"

Lin Xiao explained: "Although I am a high school detective certified by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, I am just a high school student at the end of the day, and there is a limit to what I can do."

Mao Lilan immediately reacted after hearing Lin Xiao's explanation. A high school detective is, after all, just a high school student, and finding the murderer is not his job.

"makes sense……"

Ran Mao Li stuck out her tongue. She had really been led into a ditch by Kudo Shinichi in the past.

Chapter 49: Kudo Yukiko was mad at her son and cried

So, the group happily held a celebration banquet... to celebrate the successful performance of the drama...

Aunt Eri and Aunt Yukiko are coming over, so of course we have to invite them to join us.

Naturally, Hibiki Eri agreed immediately to accompany her daughter and to observe Lin Xiao's character.

Yukiko's face was full of anxiety, and her pretty face turned pale.

"But, Conan... is still..."

Suzuki Sonoko immediately advised: "Aunt Yukiko, don't worry about Conan, he must be playing detective games again. I heard from Xiaolan that Conan and his classmates formed a young detective team and are very keen on detective games."

Mao Lilan nodded in agreement: "Yes. Conan is like this, it's okay if you don't care about him."

"Wait for me a moment."

Yukiko said as she trotted towards Conan's location. She was so excited that her high-heeled sandals almost fell off.

"Conan!"

Yukiko shouted angrily at Conan who was absorbed in the case.

Conan turned his head impatiently and complained: "Sister Yukiko, what are you doing here? Can't you see that I am assisting the police in investigating the case?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. We are going to hold a celebration party now. You should come with me."

"No... a murder happened, and they are still in the mood to hold a celebration party."

Conan looked incredulous and incomprehensible.

Yukiko was too lazy to explain too much. She grabbed Conan by the back of his collar, pulled him up, and wanted to take Conan away.

Conan struggled desperately. The case hadn't been solved yet, so how could he give up halfway?

"Sister Yukiko, put me down quickly."

Yukiko put Conan down, and her expression was not only resentful, but also quite angry.

His wife is about to run away, but he is still busy with his case. He has become a child, but he still doesn't know how to learn from his mistakes!

"Conan, what do you want?"

"I won't go. I still have to handle the case. I'm getting close to the truth."

"Xiaolan, are you planning to give up?"

"of course not!"

"Then hurry up and follow me! Yingli happens to be here too, let's work together to find a way to make Yingli hate Lin Xiao!"

"Ah... Sister Yukiko, I'll leave this important task to you for now. I'll come find you after I finish the case."

After saying that, Conan ran away as if he was afraid of being caught by Yukiko again.

Yukiko was shocked and almost vomited blood because of her son.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yukiko covered her chest, her chest aching because she was angry at her son.

At this point, she could only let her son do what he wanted, unable to do anything.

She was wearing a plain dress and a pair of high-heeled sandals, and she walked through the crowd... Her long hair was fluttering, and she was alone, with a face full of resentment, which made me feel pity for her.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud, and mocked: "Ah... Why, Aunt Yukiko, didn't Conan come with you?"

Yukiko was hit by Lin Xiao and was so angry that she lost her balance and fell directly into Lin Xiao's arms.

"Aunt Yukiko!"

Lin Xiao quickly supported Yukiko. He didn’t know what was going on with this woman. It was so funny.

Seeing this, the others also became concerned about Yukiko's condition, fearing that something might have really happened to her.

Yukiko took a few slow breaths in Lin Xiao's arms, and her mood gradually calmed down.

"I'm fine, don't worry about it Conan, let's go."

Yukiko forced an awkward yet elegant smile to everyone.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Yukiko was fine, and they left the gymnasium and went to the place that Suzuki Sonoko had booked in advance.

……

The celebratory banquet was held in a private room of a Michelin three-star Kaiseki restaurant.

At the banquet, after her daughter's explanation, Kisaki Eri not only did not hate Lin Xiao, but instead felt that Lin Xiao was more suitable for Xiaolan than Kudo Shinichi.

However, with Yukiko present, it was difficult for Eri Kisaki to express it directly.

Hibiki Eri said tactfully: "Yukiko, if you still expect me to help you, you should explain your son's affairs to everyone. Otherwise, not only will my daughter lose trust in your son, but I will also have to re-evaluate my attitude towards your son."

Yukiko was sweating coldly on her back. She had no way of explaining it and was so anxious that cold sweat was dripping down her forehead.

Suddenly, she raised her hand and pointed her jade finger at Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, please explain..."

"Aunt Yukiko, what do you want me to explain?"

Lin Xiao felt both innocent and confused.

"Don't pretend. You also know about Kudo Shinichi's situation. You explain it."

"Aunt Yukiko, what do you mean? You want me to… in front of everyone…"

"Of course that's not what I meant!" Yukiko was so anxious that she wanted to cry. She wanted Lin Xiao to cover for her. "Think of a solution for me!"

Lin Xiao felt soft-hearted when he saw that Yukiko looked like she was about to cry.

Lin Xiao sighed softly in his heart, beauty is really a disaster. If she were a dinosaur, she would have been punched to Mars with such willfulness and unreasonableness.

"Kudo Shinichi, we are indeed facing a complicated situation right now. I actually know about this matter, but it is not convenient for me to explain it to everyone."

Although Lin Xiao said so, the three beautiful girls were unwilling to let Lin Xiao go. They were all curious about what Kudo Shinichi was doing.

Obviously, Fei Yingli was not satisfied with Lin Xiao's explanation which was equivalent to saying nothing.

"Kudo Shinichi is not an ordinary high school student, he is a detective, and a famous detective. As a famous detective, he knows the truth that ordinary people cannot know, and this is something that cannot be said openly."

Lin Xiao touched his nose embarrassedly: "Ahaha... Kudo Shinichi's situation is unspeakable."

What this means is, stay out of the detective's business!

"Playing tricks!" Kisaki Eri had a look of disdain on her face. As a famous lawyer, she looked down on detectives.

The three beautiful girls expressed their understanding of Lin Xiao’s answer. Even the mother of the person involved couldn’t explain it clearly, so they couldn’t force Lin Xiao too much.

Suzuki Sonoko frowned. She was not only disappointed but also disgusted with Kudo Shinichi. She even no longer cared about Kudo Yukiko's feelings.

"Don't worry about that spoiler, Kudo Shinichi." Suzuki Sonoko raised her cup of drink and said, "Let's toast to celebrate the successful performance of the second-year B class's drama."

Xiaolan reminded quietly: "Yuanzi, it seems that it is not perfect. The play was interrupted before it was fully performed."

The play was not fully performed before it was interrupted by an unexpected event.

Sonoko was quite willful: "It doesn't matter, I think it's perfect, it's perfect! Cheers, everyone!"

"I feel very fulfilled too." Lin Xiao smiled at Xiaolan and raised his drink.

"Yes!" Xiaolan raised her drink.

"Cheers." The six people raised their glasses and clinked them together.

Chapter 50: Takei Naoko is kidnapped

By the time Conan finished handling the incident, the celebration party was over and everyone had gone home.

At this moment, Conan returned to the Mori Detective Agency and called Kudo Yukiko.

"Mom, did you succeed in making Lin Xiao disliked by Xiaolan's mother?"

"No--"

At this moment, Kudo Yukiko had finished her bath, changed into her pajamas, and lay on her side on the bed. Her posture was upright and charming, and the silk nightgown hung lightly on her body, outlining her graceful figure.

"Ah? Why is this happening?!"

Conan felt that his mother was always causing trouble and could not do anything for him, and there was no hope for him at all.

"You still have the nerve to blame me. Your wife is about to run away, and you still have the energy to help the police solve the case."

"But if I give up helping the police, the murderer will get away!"

"I'm warning you, you're an elementary school student now, be careful and don't reveal your true identity."

"I know it without you having to tell me."

Conan hung up the phone unhappily, very annoyed with his useless mother. Not only was she unable to help, but she also always slandered him, which was really infuriating.
