Conan: The Heart Thief

"Brother Lin Xiao, don't say weird things."

Lin Xiao approached Huiyuan Ai and whispered in her ear: "Kudo Yusaku is also interested in APTX4869. Don't underestimate the greed of adults."

"..."

If APTX4869 can be successfully developed, humans will be able to truly achieve rejuvenation, which is no less valuable than controlled nuclear fusion. As long as one is a sensible person, once the true identity of Haibara Ai is discovered, the consequences are unpredictable.

In the anime, many people already know the true identity of Haibara Ai, but no one is interested in APTX4869, which is very abnormal. The value of APTX4869 is far underestimated.

Lin Xiao reminded Haibara Ai out of good intentions. He hoped that Haibara Ai could live a happy life as an elementary school student and not commit suicide with Conan.

"I've changed my clothes."

At this time, Kudo Yukiko returned to the living room. She was wearing a tight leather jacket that perfectly outlined her body curves. She really had an angelic face and a devilish figure.

"This woman looks good in any clothes."

Lin Xiao's attention was immediately drawn away from Haibara Ai by Kudo Yukiko.

"Xiao Ai, Lin Xiao and I are going out. You have to take good care of yourself these two days. If you have any problems, call me, or you can ask Conan for help."

"I know... Don't worry, Sister Yukiko."

Haibara Ai, who just had a frightened expression on her face, started acting cute again. It's really hard for her.

……

The way to the destination this time was that Kudo Yukiko took Lin Xiao to the destination on a motorcycle.

Kawasaki's red heavy motorcycle was very cool and stunning, which really amazed Lin Xiao.

Kudo Yukiko threw a motorcycle helmet into Lin Xiao's hands: "Stop being in a daze and get in the car."

"Oh." Lin Xiao put on a motorcycle helmet and sat astride Kudo Yukiko.

"Hold tight."

"Where?"

"up to you."

Since Kudo Yukiko said so, Lin Xiao did not hesitate to hug Kudo Yukiko's headlights with both hands.

"Oh, I told you to hold my waist, don't hold anywhere else. It would be dangerous if you are distracted while I am driving the motorcycle." Yukiko said coquettishly. She didn't dare to let Lin Xiao hold her headlights. What if the stars appeared on the road?

"You should have said it earlier." Lin Xiao hugged Kudo Yukiko's waist again.

"You are such a dishonest fellow." Yukiko Kudo gritted her teeth, "Hold on tight, we are about to set off."

Yukiko Kudo started the motorcycle and headed towards the outskirts of Tokyo.

As the motorcycle drove to a more remote place, away from the steel forest, there were fewer cars on the road. The sky was blue and the clouds were white, and there were dense jungles on both sides of the road. The air in the suburbs was much better than the air in the city.

Kudo Yukiko suddenly turned the handlebars, stepped on the accelerator, and continued to rise, with the speed exceeding 100 yards. There were not many people on the country roads, so Kudo Yukiko could drive as fast as she wanted and scare Lin Xiao at the same time.

Lin Xiao was not frightened, but because the road in the suburbs was uneven and bumpy, Yukiko's big butt kept rubbing against him, making him uneasy.

"Sister Yukiko, drive slower, the road here is not very smooth..."

"If you're scared, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Yes, yes, yes... I'm really scared."

Lin Xiao's forehead was filled with anxiety. If this continued, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on.

The car speed gradually decreased, and Kudo Yukiko was actually feeling uneasy as her butt was always pressed by a hard object.

Chapter 90 Fallen

In the late afternoon, they finally reached their destination. Yukiko took off her helmet, turned around, and took off Lin Xiao's helmet behind her.

"Why, you keep holding me and don't want to let go?"

"I always feel like I've fallen when I'm with you."

Lin Xiao let go of his hand and touched his nose awkwardly, with a faint floral scent on his fingertips. The countryside is different, without the hustle and bustle of a big city. It has been a long time since I breathed such fresh air.

"Bad guy, it was you who led me to fall, and you are the first to accuse me!"

Yukiko lifted her hair and a charming curve appeared on the corner of her mouth. Although she was decadent, she was happy.

After parking the motorcycle, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but kiss each other.

"Uh-huh..."

"Hey, don't be here...someone might see us."

"Really... don't mess around... ah..."

Yukiko felt that if Lin Xiao was to do something bad to her in public, she might not be able to resist...

With a "bang", the door opened.

The two were startled and quickly separated. It was not appropriate to be intimate in front of someone else's door.

"Yukiko, you're here. Why don't you come in? What are you doing standing outside?"

A young woman came out of her house and saw Yukiko standing outside the door. She was happy and surprised.

Yukiko awkwardly pulled Lin Xiao and followed the young woman into her home.

The young woman is actually Yukiko's good friend, Hiromi Yabuuchi. They are classmates and good friends, and they have always kept in touch.

"Guangmei, for you, my best friend who grew up with me, I would fly here without hesitation even if I were on the other side of the earth." Yukiko said happily.

"Hehe, Yukiko, you are still so nice." Yabuuchi Hiromi said happily.

Then, Yabuuchi Hiromi turned her gaze to Lin Xiao and was immediately shocked by Lin Xiao's handsomeness.

"Could this be your son Shinichi? He's so handsome." Yabuuchi Hiromi felt that Lin Xiao was even more handsome than the male idols on TV.

"No!" Yukiko introduced Lin Xiao to her friends, "He is a classmate of my son Shinichi. Lin Xiao, like Shinichi, is a high school detective. My husband and son are busy now, so I called him to help."

"So he's a high school detective." Yabuuchi Hiromi suddenly realized.

"Lin Jun, she is my childhood friend and best friend, Yabuuchi Hiromi, she was the one who asked me to come here to help..."

"Mrs. Yabuuchi, please take care of me." Lin Xiao greeted.

"Detective Lin, please take care of me."

Hiromi Yabuuchi invited the two to come in and sit down. The Yabuuchi family's house was a very traditional Japanese-style house. Yukiko and Lin Xiao knelt in front of the coffee table, and Hiromi Yabuuchi boiled water and made tea for them.

Two cups of fragrant green tea were placed in front of Yukiko and Lin Xiao.

Yukiko took a sip of tea and said, "Guangmei, if you encounter any problems, just ask Lin Xiao. He will definitely be able to help you solve them."

Hiromi Yabuuchi said gratefully: "I am really sorry to have troubled you."

Lin Xiao said: "Mrs. Yabuuchi, you might as well explain what happened now."

"Yes. Detective Hayashi, Yukiko, what I need your help with this time is..."

Just when Hiromi Yabuuchi was about to explain, she was interrupted.

"Guangmei, are there any guests at our house?"

The person who interrupted Hiromi Yabuuchi was an old man with a gray mustache and looked to be around sixty-four or sixty-five years old.

"Oh, Uncle Yifang, it's you..."

Seeing the person coming, Yabuuchi Hiromi asked tentatively: "Uncle, look, this is the little girl Yukiko who often came to our house to play when she was a child... I wonder if you still remember her?"

"Uncle Yifang, long time no see, thank you for your guidance..."

After hearing Hiromi Yabuuchi's introduction, Yukiko stood up and greeted her politely.

However, in response to this, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa held his chin with his hand, and after looking at Yukiko for a while, he said with a confused and apologetic voice: "Is there... Yukiko? I... can't remember at all. Hello, I'm sorry, maybe it's because I've lived in Brazil for too long, so I can't remember you."

Upon hearing that Yabuuchi Yoshifusa was so old and confused that he couldn't even remember that he often came to his house to play as a child, Yukiko was a little puzzled. Could it be that she was so easily ignored and forgotten?

However, she couldn't get angry in front of him, so she just said politely: "It's okay, it's just a childhood thing anyway."

"Well, since you are all guests invited by Guangmei, then spend more time chatting with her. I won't disturb you..."

"Carlos, let's go..."

The Carlos mentioned by Yabuuchi Yoshifusa was a tall, dark-skinned man who had always stood beside him like a loyal bodyguard. The man looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, and he did not look like someone of Asian descent. He should be mixed-race at the very least.

Seeing Carlos turning around and leaving with Yabuuchi Yoshifusa, Yukiko couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Hiromi, who is this tall, dark-skinned guy named Carlos? I've never seen him before when I came to visit you."

Hearing this, Yabuuchi Hiromi introduced him in a low voice: "He... is a close friend that Uncle Yoshifusa brought back from Brazil."

At this point, she asked quietly, "Yukiko, do you think there is something wrong with Uncle Yoshifusa during this meeting?"

Although Yukiko didn't quite understand why her friend Hiromi Yabuuchi asked her this, she still put her hand on her chin and pretended to think seriously and whispered, "Well... although Uncle Yoshifusa used to play with us, that was when I was a child. After that, he moved to Brazil to settle down. It's been so long, how can I tell the difference?"

"Mrs. Yabuuchi, the difficult matter you asked Yukiko to do this time, could it be about the matter of Mr. Yabuuchi Yoshifusa just now?"

At this time, Lin Xiao asked Yabuuchi Hiromi in a low voice.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Yabuuchi Hiromi nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that's right, Detective Hayashi, you really deserve to be the detective hired by Yukiko. In fact, Uncle Yoshifusa just returned home from Brazil three days ago, and he also brought back the guy named Carlos. But I always feel that my uncle is not the same as before, but I can't produce any specific evidence..."

Hearing what Yabuuchi Hiromi said, Yukiko couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, Hiromi, this matter is actually very simple. Just ask your father to come and meet Uncle Yoshifusa. If I remember correctly, he is Uncle Yoshifusa's biological brother."

Shaking her head, Yabuuchi Hiromi sighed and said, "Alas, it's impossible, because... my father passed away last month... due to illness."

"Ah? I'm sorry... Guangmei, I, I didn't know about this yet, you, you don't have to be too sad..."

Yukiko quickly took Hiromi Yabuuchi's hand and apologized to her.

"Guangmei, please accept my condolences..."

In response to this, Lin Xiao could only comfort her softly.

"Yukiko, Detective Hayashi, thank you..."

"But I'm fine. Dad is already in his seventies or eighties. Birth, aging, illness and death are normal..."

Hiromi Yabuuchi first expressed her gratitude for the two's comfort, and then continued in a low voice: "My mother passed away fifteen years ago, and Uncle Yoshifusa doesn't have many friends. Now the only people who have met him many times are me and you, Yukiko. Therefore... this time I wrote to ask you to help me check if there is anything wrong with Uncle Yoshifusa..."

Hearing this, Yukiko asked curiously, "Uh... Guangmei, why are you so concerned about Uncle Yifang's question?"

Beside him, Lin Xiao already understood something...

The reason why he cares so much about Yabuuchi Yoshifusa's identity, and the fact that Yabuuchi Hiromi's father just passed away, is most likely because of the inheritance issue.
