Conan: The Heart Thief

The three of them were walking and chatting. There were quite a few tourists around them, even some white faces.

Xiaolan was attracted by the lively music. She held Lin Xiao's little finger tightly and walked inside.

In order to prevent Yuanzi from falling behind, Lin Xiao also held Yuanzi's slippery little hand.

Lin Xiao, who was sandwiched in the middle, suddenly felt like he was surrounded by people on both sides, which was really good.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao bought a bright red apple candy. Xiaolan and Yuanzi came over to taste it without any hesitation. As a result, the three of them took turns eating an apple candy while strolling in the shrine.

There were many couples who attended the memorial service, but it was very rare for Lin Xiao to be so intimate with two beautiful girls at the same time. In modern Japan, regardless of gender, two-timing is unacceptable. As a result, the three of them attracted many people's attention.

"Lin Jun, I want to play goldfish scooping!"

Xiaolan's face suddenly lit up.

"That's good, but if you catch it, will you keep it?"

"Yeah! I used to keep festival goldfish."

Xiaolan said.

Lin Xiao paid the uncle at the stall and gave Yuanzi and Xiaolan a fishing net. No matter how poor Lin Xiao was, he still had enough money to catch goldfish.

Yuanzi waved his hand: "Hey? I don't want to play, and I don't plan to raise goldfish."

Lin Xiao forced it to Yuanzi: "It doesn't matter. Even if we catch it, it doesn't matter if we put it back."

Xiaolan couldn't wait any longer. She rolled up the sleeves of her yukata, locked her target, and carefully put the net into the water.

"Ah! Ah..."

The goldfish was on the paper net for a moment, but immediately broke through the net and escaped.

"So lame!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud, and Xiaolan puffed up her cheeks in anger.

"Mr. Lin, it seems that you are very good at it?" Xiaolan remembered that Lin Xiao was very good at playing the claw machine before.

"It's normal. There are skills to playing games."

"In that case, Mr. Lin, you come and teach me how to play. I want the black one and the red one."

"Look at this net. The side where the paper is glued is the surface. It's less likely to break when you fish with this side."

Lin Xiao took the fishing net handed to him by Xiaolan and began to explain.

"Also, it's best to place the bowl near the water surface to catch the fish. Put the net into the water at an angle, and then quickly scoop up the fish. If you're afraid it will break, only put half of the net into the water, and it will break at this time."

As Lin Xiao explained, he locked onto the black bulging golden eyes and lowered the net into the water.

"When you scoop, try to use the outer frame of the net as much as possible, and if possible, only let the head of the goldfish come above the net. Look, I caught one."

Lin Xiao then used the same technique to catch the red Ryukin.

On the other side, Yuan Zi also failed. Seeing Lin Xiao's performance, he couldn't help but complain: "You are so strong. If everyone is as good as you, the owner of the goldfish scooping shop will probably go bankrupt."

After catching the goldfish, Lin Xiao returned the net to the boss, who helped put the two goldfish into the bag. The uncle shyly gave Xiaolan a small bag of feed, probably as a small gift for her.

After a short rest, the three of them bought takoyaki, fried noodles and egg cakes, and then sat down on the stone steps.

During this time, Xiaolan held up the bag containing the goldfish in front of her eyes more than once and looked at it with great joy.

Chapter 87: Elegant Wife in Kimono

Xiaolan put down the goldfish bag and started eating takoyaki.

Lin Xiao picked up the fried noodles box and started eating with chopsticks. The taste was okay. It was a roadside stall, so you couldn't expect it to be very delicious.

"I want to eat fried noodles too." Yuanzi took a few bites of the egg cake and suddenly pointed at the fried noodles in Lin Xiao's hand and said.

"Ah? But I've already eaten... I'll go buy you another one now." Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment and put down his chopsticks.

"There are so many people...waiting in line for you, I don't know how long we have to wait! Just give me your fried noodles, and I can give you the egg cake I didn't finish." Yuanzi said casually.

"Okay..." Lin Xiao exchanged the food in his hand with Yuanzi.

When Xiaolan saw this, her eyes widened. Exchanging unfinished food seemed to be something only couples would do.

Lin Xiao finished eating first, then went to the merchant to buy marble soda that was only available at tourist attractions, and bought three bottles in total.

"It's ramune!"

Xiaolan and Sonoko's eyes lit up at the same time. After all, it was an obsolete soda and most stores no longer sold it.

The three of them shouted and pressed the marbles of the soda into the bottle at the same time. Because it was not a glass bottle but a plastic bottle, it lacked a bit of atmosphere, but a lot of bubbles came out of the bottle that Xiaolan let go of first. She screamed excitedly and stuffed the bottle into Lin Xiao's mouth.

Lin Xiao hurriedly blocked the bottle mouth with his mouth, but the bubbles were so powerful that he choked.

Xiaolan laughed loudly, and Yuanzi, who was standing beside her, also laughed when she saw this.

Xiaolan suddenly realized that Yuanzi's attitude towards Lin Xiao was different from before. It was different since Yuanzi started to dress up seriously. As the saying goes, women dress up to please themselves, and good girlfriends have the same goal.

"The shrine remains the same, the same old thing year after year. It's really boring." Xiaolan said gloomily.

"Eh?" Sonoko was stunned for a moment, "Shouldn't this be something you would say, Xiaolan?"

"I heard there will be a performance by a shrine maiden. I'd really like to see it." To be honest, this was Lin Xiao's first time participating in this kind of activity, and it was still quite new to him.

"That's great. You and Sonoko can stay and watch. I'll go back first. I can go home and raise the goldfish."

Xiaolan's sudden change caught Lin Xiao and Yuanzi off guard.

Yuanzi quickly grabbed Xiaolan, fearing that she would leave.

"Xiao Lan, don't worry... the three of us are good friends, how can you go back first?"

"Yes, yes... Xiaolan..."

Lin Xiao also tried to keep Xiaolan. If Xiaolan left now, he and Yuanzi would be in an awkward situation.

Despite Lin Xiao and Yuanzi's persuasion, Xiaolan wanted to leave early, but it was not easy, so she had to stay and watch the performance at the shrine.

Under the night sky, the stage was surrounded by soft lights, and a unique atmosphere of mystery and solemnity was carefully created. In the center of the stage, a huge paper lantern was hung high, and the patterns on the lantern appeared vivid under the light.

As the drums and bells sounded, the priestesses, dressed in white hunting robes with flowing skirts, holding bells and fans, walked onto the stage with light steps.

The rhythm of the accompaniment began to speed up, and the priestesses began to dance. The bells in their hands swayed with the changes of dance steps, making clear and pleasant sounds, which intertwined with the sounds of drums and bells.

The crowd below the stage, which was originally bustling, also quieted down and began to appreciate the dance attentively.

As for the three of them, Yuanzi and Xiaolan were a little absent-minded and were not paying attention to the dance, but Lin Xiao watched it seriously.

He felt that the Miko Dance was like a ritual, and its beauty depended on the Miko's appearance. Anyway, it was not as good-looking as Sonoko and Xiaolan. If Sonoko and Xiaolan wore Miko costumes and performed the ritual, it would definitely be more beautiful.

After the show, the three of them followed the crowd on their way home. As they were walking towards the stairs of the Beika Shrine, they happened to run into three people coming from the other direction.

I saw Kudo Yukiko wearing a kimono, holding a boy and a girl in yukata in each hand.

Lin Xiao was amazed by Kudo Yukiko's appearance. She was indeed a mature wife, showing the beauty of Japanese women to the fullest.

I saw Kudo Yukiko wearing a more formal kimono for adults. The light black satin fabric was cool but not dull, but it perfectly outlined the plump and graceful figure of the beautiful wife. Her long wavy hair was tied up, and a simple hairpin was gently inserted in her hair, which complemented the clothes she was wearing.

"Ah! It's Sister Yukiko, what a coincidence." Xiaolan immediately waved to Kudo Yukiko.

"It's Xiaolan." Kudo Yukiko greeted her with a smile, but when she saw Lin Xiao hugging Xiaolan and Sonoko, she couldn't help but pout. "You three have such a good relationship together!"

"Conan, why are you here too?" Xiaolan looked at the little Conan.

"Humph! It's because Xiaolan didn't take me out to play, so I had to go find Yukiko." Conan said unhappily. In fact, he went to Yukiko to complain that Lin Xiao was cheating on his brother Shinichi again.

"Sister Yukiko, who is this child..." Sonoko was curious about the little girl next to Kudo Yukiko. It was the first time she saw her and she looked a bit like her, like a sister who had been separated for many years.

"Oh. Xiaolan, Sonoko, I'd like to introduce you to this girl, Haibara Ai, the little girl I adopted."

"Haibara Ai, so cute." Xiaolan's eyes lit up, and she was immediately attracted by Haibara Ai. Although she was very small and cute, she had an adult expression, which was very attractive. "Hello, Haibara Ai, I'm Maori Ran. If you don't mind, just call me Xiaolan sister."

Haibara Ai snorted softly and ignored Xiaolan, always looking cool.

"Why do I feel that Haibara Ai looks very familiar?" Sonoko was puzzled. It was the first time she saw Haibara Ai, but she looked so familiar.

"Because Haibara Ai looks a lot like you. Sonoko, don't you think so?" Lin Xiao revealed the secret.

"Eh?"

Not only Yuanzi was stunned, but everyone else was stunned as well.

"that is true!"

After observing Sonoko carefully, Kudo Yukiko sighed, "Especially Sonoko, after you changed your hairstyle and got bangs, you really look like Ai."

Xiaolan also covered her mouth in surprise: "Sonoko, did you and little Huihara Ai know each other before?"

Yuanzi shook her head, confused: "I don't know him."

Conan started to speculate again: "Could it be that Haibara Ai is the illegitimate daughter of the Suzuki family? I heard that rich families have a lot of melodramatic plots."

After hearing Conan's reasoning, Huibara was angry: "That's not the case. I am mixed-blood, okay? My hair color and pupils are obviously different from those of Japanese people. Besides, I have a sister..."

Speaking of this, Haibara Ai's eyes dimmed. Her only sister turned herself in and is now in prison. No one knows when she will be released.

In addition to avoiding the Black Organization, Haibara Ai has been secretly investigating the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. In the public press conference, one of the evidences released by the police was the business card of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. She suspected that her sister's surrender was related to the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Chapter 88 Bringing Mrs. Kudo Home

"Conan, little brat, don't make random guesses. I look alike with Haibara Ai, it's just a coincidence." Suzuki Sonoko was sure that she and Haibara Ai had nothing to do with each other, and that they looked alike was just a coincidence. There are many people in this world who look alike, it's no big deal.

"That's right..." Conan laughed awkwardly for a few times and came to Ran Maoli. He even tried to hold Ran's hand, but Ran ignored him.

"Conan, what do you want to do?" Xiaolan was very wary of Conan. She had now discovered that Conan was abnormal and completely different from ordinary children, and she had become very wary of Conan.

"It's nothing, it's nothing... Sister Xiaolan, let's go back together."

The group left the Rice Flower Shrine and came to the street, then parted ways.

"So, goodbye."

Several people said goodbye to each other.

Mao Li Ran and Conan walked back to Mao Li Detective Agency, while Suzuki Sonoko took the car driven by the butler home.

Lin Xiao and Kudo Yukiko walked home together. He and Kudo Yukiko happened to live together.

Yukiko Kudo couldn't help but complain about Lin Xiao: "Lin Xiao, you are such a scumbag, hugging girls left and right..."
