Conan: The Heart Thief

"Is that so?"

Although Kudo Yukiko and Lin Xiao were talking to themselves, Mao Lilan felt that the relationship between them was not ordinary. However, given the identities of Kudo Yukiko and Lin Xiao, what kind of relationship could they have? She was puzzled.

Chapter 73: Midnight Theater, only Mao Lilan is watching the movie seriously

There weren't many people at the midnight movie, just couples scattered around the theater.

Yukiko Kudo was so excessive that she sat between Mao Li Ran and Lin Xiao, trying hard to separate the two. She was really trying hard for her imaginary daughter-in-law.

Mao Lilan watched the movie "The Legend of the Red Thread" and was moved by the romantic love story in it and was very engaged in it.

Lin Xiao dozed off. He had no interest in a love story without action content, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

Another person who is not interested in the film is Yukiko Kudo. As an actress, she gave average reviews to "The Legend of the Red Thread", saying it was not as good as the movies she made when she was young.

She sat in her seat and couldn't help feeling bored, so she turned her eyes to Lin Xiao and found that Lin Xiao had closed his eyes and fell asleep. Seeing that Lin Xiao had fallen asleep, she really regretted doing this. If Xiaolan saw Lin Xiao falling asleep on his own, she would definitely be disappointed.

"No, I can't let Lin Xiao be so comfortable. He wants to sleep, but I have to disturb him. I can't be tortured by a movie that I have no interest in alone."

Thinking of this, she took advantage of the darkness of the cinema and reached out to find the root of Lin Xiao's troubles. Her slender hand then grasped Lin Xiao's troubles, causing him more troubles and preventing him from having a good rest.

Lin Xiao was sleeping soundly, but suddenly he felt uncomfortable, and then this discomfort turned into wonderful.

No way... I'm going to have a wet dream? In the cinema? How embarrassing!

Lin Xiao couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly opened his eyes, and found that it was a beautiful white hand that was doing mischief.

It goes without saying that the culprit is Yukiko Kudo.

"It's fun, isn't it?"

Lin Xiao glared at Kudo Yukiko.

"Hehehe... am I hated?"

"If you know, let me go."

"Anyway, I'm already hated by you, I don't care."

Yukiko Kudo gritted her teeth and not only did she not let go, she increased the intensity.

This forced Lin Xiao to grab Kudo Yukiko's white wrist and pull her hand away from his body.

"Sister Yukiko, you... stop it!"

Lin Xiao felt overwhelmed. Kudo Yusaku's wife was too eccentric. She had been a mother for so many years, but she was still like this.

The two of them were making too much noise, and Mao Lilan looked at them strangely.

"What are you doing..."

"Ah... I saw Lin Jun was dozing off, so I helped him perk up."

"So that's how it is." Mao Lilan was so absorbed in the movie that she didn't notice the two's actions at all. "The movie is really interesting. What do you think?"

"Yeah. It's very interesting. There are no boring moments throughout the whole process." Kudo Yukiko giggled.

Lin Xiao broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that he would be discovered by Mao Li Ran. However, Kudo Yukiko was not afraid at all. It was obvious that she was deliberately revealing her flaws to make Mao Li Ran hate Lin Xiao.

Being interrupted by Kudo Yukiko, Lin Xiao had no choice but to watch the movie patiently.

Lin Xiao thought the movie was quite old-fashioned. The red line and other things were all old jokes that had been used countless times, with no new ideas. It was just to coax an innocent girl, or to deliberately create a place for couples to date.

Lin Xiao looked at the heroine in the movie. Her looks were only average. She was not as cute as Mouri Ran at all. Her acting skills were undoubtedly worse than Kudo Yukiko.

Lin Xiao glanced at the yawning Kudo Yukiko, held her wrist, and took her out of the cinema.

"Lin Jun, what are you doing suddenly?"

Kudo Yukiko, wearing high heels, was dragged away by Lin Xiao. Before she could react, she stumbled into Lin Xiao's arms.

"Kudo Yukiko, you thought I wouldn't retaliate against you for playing a prank on me, didn't you?"

"You can take revenge if you want." Kudo Yukiko didn't care at all. The so-called revenge might be a good thing for her. "Just call me Yukiko, no need to mention Kudo."

Yukiko Kudo didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until she rubbed her eyes and found that she was actually pulled into the men's restroom of the cinema by Lin Xiao. Since it was a midnight movie, there were not many people. In addition, everyone was watching the movie, so there were only her and Lin Xiao here.

"This is... the men's restroom. Are you sick?... Why did you bring me here..."

Yukiko Kudo was so frightened that she tried to run away. She was a big star. Although she had retired from the screen for a long time, her fame was still there. If she was discovered, it would be on the headlines in Japan.

Lin Xiao would never let Kudo Yukiko escape, so he directly put her into a cubicle.

Yukiko Kudo sat on the toilet, shivering.

"Lin Xiao, you are not thinking, you are going too far, who do you think I am!"

"I advise you to shut up. If anyone outside hears the noise, you know the consequences."

"Too bad, too much!"

Tears welled up in the corners of Kudo Yukiko's eyes. Lin Xiao was too disrespectful to her. What kind of person did he treat her as? She would not agree to such a plot even if it was a movie, let alone a real one.

But under the cover of a huge shadow, she had no choice but to submit.

"Ohhh... Yukiko, this is the expression. It's great. You look so pitiful and pretty..."

Wearing a black hip-wrapped dress, Yukiko Kudo is graceful and elegant, and her simple makeup makes her look refined. In this situation, she is like a goddess in the hands of the devil. Such a strong sense of contrast makes Lin Xiao feel very interesting. Playing cards unconventionally is the script of a good movie.

"Do you know how to do this? Do you need me to teach you?"

Kudo Yukiko muttered a few words, staring at Lin Xiao fiercely with her beautiful eyes. When her lips, which were painted with red lipstick, opened, her rosy and sweet tongue could be seen.

"what……"

Kudo Yukiko looked aggrieved, but had to give in, which made Lin Xiao feel very satisfied. Isn't this a hundred times more interesting than the cliché plot of "The Legend of the Red Thread"?

……

"Huh? How come Sister Yukiko and Mr. Lin haven't come back since they left for so long?"

Mao Lilan had a puzzled look on her face. She originally thought that the two were going to the bathroom, but it took too long.

She looked around and found that she was the only one in the cinema who was watching the movie seriously. The couples in the cinema were doing things that had nothing to do with watching the movie.

Her fair face suddenly turned red, and she felt very uncomfortable being alone.

"Huh? Why aren't you guys watching the movie seriously? It's obviously a good movie..."

"Hey... I'd better watch the movie seriously."

Mao Lilan turned her attention back to the movie. She had been watching from the beginning until now. It was the climax of the movie and she couldn't miss it. She was very interested in the plot of the movie and didn't want to miss any of it. If the director knew that there were still audiences who liked his movies so much, he would definitely be moved to tears.

Chapter 74 I will remember this grudge

“Gurgle…gulp…”

Kudo Yukiko's throat moved, and she took great effort to swallow the hot medicine soup, choking her beautiful eyes and making tears well up. Seeing that Kudo Yukiko followed his doctor's advice and drank all the medicine soup obediently, Lin Xiao was relieved. This willful and self-willed wife has become more and more sensible under his education. I believe that if the Kudo father and son were lucky enough to know, they would also be happy for the growth of their wife/mother.

"Yukiko, you're so sensible!"

Lin Xiao gently stroked Kudo Yukiko's beautiful face to show his master's love.

"Lin Xiao, I will remember this grudge."

Kudo Yukiko puffed up her cheeks, bit her lips, and wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand. She had never been bullied like this in her life.

……

Yukiko Kudo and Lin Xiao returned to the cinema as the movie was almost over.

After coming out of the cinema, the three of them sat on the benches outside the 24-hour convenience store, drinking cold drinks and discussing their impressions of the movie. This is an indispensable part of the Japanese movie-watching habit.

Mao Lilan talked about her thoughts, and Lin Xiao and Kudo Yukiko tried to agree with her. Neither of them watched the movie much, and only knew the general idea. The content of the movie was not complicated and it was easy to guess. Therefore, Mao Lilan did not find anything unusual.

"I thought Sister Yukiko and Hayashi-kun had disappeared for a while and I would have missed the plot, but I didn't expect you all knew about it."

Kudo Yukiko and Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly. It was such a simple plot, they already guessed it.

Yukiko Kudo glanced at the time on her watch and said, "It's already this late, past twelve o'clock, let's go to the hotel and rest."

Mao Lilan said rather embarrassedly: "I am really sorry to trouble Sister Yukiko."

Kudo Yukiko smiled and said, "I am an adult. Of course I have to take good care of you two children."

Lin Xiao was drinking Coke with a straw in his mouth. He was still thinking about taking his relationship with Mouri Ran to the next level, but it was all ruined by Kudo Yukiko.

The hotel room that Kudo Yukiko booked had a double bed. Lin Xiao had one bed, and Kudo Yukiko and Mouri Ran had another bed. A night passed and everything went peacefully.

No matter what, Kudo Yukiko has done her best to protect her daughter-in-law. Even if the truth comes out one day in the future, Edogawa Conan should forgive her.

……

It was a new day. Lin Xiao returned home and before he could even sit down, he received a call from Hattori Heiji.

Invite Lin Xiao to visit Osaka and go with him to catch Kaito Kidd.

Lin Xiao originally refused, but Hattori Heiji mentioned that Kaito Kid's target this time was the Suzuki family's treasure, the Egg of Memories, and Suzuki Sonoko also recommended him to the police in Osaka, so he decided to give Suzuki Sonoko a favor.

When Lin Xiao expressed his agreement, Hattori Heiji asked him to go directly to Tokyo Airport and had already bought him a plane ticket.

Lin Xiao took a plane to Osaka.

In the afternoon, with the thud of the plane landing, Lin Xiao arrived at Kansai International Airport. He walked slowly to the airport exit and saw someone welcoming him.

He immediately spotted a young man who looked somewhat similar to Kudo Shinichi and was wearing a peaked cap. He was handsome, but too dark, as if he had African mixed-race genes, like a charcoal.

"Lin Xiao! Over here, over here..."

"Hattori..."

Lin Xiao walked closer and found that the person with Hattori Heiji was not Hattori Heiji's clingy childhood sweetheart Toyama Kazuha, but Hattori Heiji's partner Otaki Goro.

Otaki Goro extended his hand to Lin Xiao: "Hello, Detective Lin Xiao. I'm Otaki Goro, Inspector of the First Investigation Division of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters!"

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "I am Lin Xiao, a high school detective from Tokyo."

Otaki Goro said politely: "The Suzuki family specially recommended you to the Osaka police. It's great that you can come to assist the Osaka police in catching Kaito Kidd."

Hattori Heiji said cheerfully: "The Tokyo police have been fooled by Kaito Kid. If Kaito Kid can be caught by the Osaka police, he will definitely become famous."

Otaki Goro specially served as a driver for Lin Xiao and Hattori Heiji. He drove a police car and took the two of them towards the city center of Osaka.

Hattori Heiji began to tell Lin Xiao, who was also sitting in the back seat, about his experience in solving cases as a high school detective.
