Conan: The Heart Thief

"I'm just saying, ladies, don't take it to heart."

At night, the rooms were separated by gender, so Lin Xiao had to separate from the girls and live with a few men.

However, it was still early, so everyone didn't go to bed so quickly and sat down to chat.

Sonoko enthusiastically talked to Xiaolan about the legend of the Snow Woman, while Conan stood beside them, complaining in his heart that it was childish.

In addition to the legend about the Snow Woman, Suzuki Ayako mentioned an incident in which there was a wanted order issued by the police. In a nearby police station, a serious criminal killed a prison guard and escaped. When escaping from prison, the wanted criminal also stole the police's gun...

Suzuki Ayako's words made the three detectives Lin Xiao, Conan and Sera Masumi take it seriously.

Suddenly, all the lights in the villa went out in an instant... This also caused the entire house to fall into darkness.

Everyone who was chatting in the living room was surprised by the sudden power outage. When they were discussing what to do, they saw the faint light outside the villa window, and their eyes were drawn to a steep mountain wall outside the window...

At this time, the snow outside had completely stopped falling, but on that steep mountain wall, a terrifying scene appeared that made everyone, including the three detectives, feel as if they were in a dream...

Suddenly, a snow-white figure slowly floated up from the dark steep cliff. The figure was huge and illusory, and very erratic, but it was obvious that it was a woman in white with disheveled hair. Her figure was floating vertically along the steep cliff...

The woman in white was holding a long, thick white rope. As she slowly rose, everyone realized that the other end of the rope was actually tied around a man's neck as if he were being held captive. The man's figure was also huge and illusory, as illusory as a soul, floating around...

Gradually... the woman in white floated to the top of the steep cliff opposite and gradually disappeared...

After the woman in white disappeared, the man who was held by the white ropes, like a spirit, was also held at the top of the cliff and disappeared...

The teachers present were all quite familiar with the man who looked like a soul...

"That's... the soul of Mr. Shigayama Hisazu?!"

Everyone gasped and their faces turned pale.

And just after the strange scene on the steep cliff outside the window disappeared, all the lights in the villa that had been turned off suddenly lit up again. The power that had just suddenly gone out was inexplicably restored again, which was incredible.

Chapter 225 Confession to Suzuki Ayako

After the power in the villa was restored, the positions of all the people in the living room were exactly the same as before the power outage. This means that those "supernatural scenes" outside the window just now, theoretically speaking, had nothing to do with anyone, because when the incident just now happened, everyone in the villa was at the scene and did not move, and all had perfect alibis!

It was at this time that the people at the table came back to their senses, looking extremely terrified, especially the girls, whose eyes were filled with fear and horror...

It is precisely because of this that Xiaolan and Yuanzi no longer care about being shy at this time. They hugged Lin Xiao's arms on the left and right, and clung tightly to their beloved boyfriends.

Suzuki Ayako had a complicated look on her face, and her heart flowed from fear to envy. She also hugged Lin Xiao unscrupulously, just like Xiaolan and Sonoko, and got comfort from Lin Xiao. However, she couldn't do that.

As for Lin Xiao's disciple, Sera Masumi, like Conan, he was only concerned about time. He looked in surprise at the cliff where the supernatural phenomenon had occurred before.

As for Lin Xiao, he was so busy comforting his two girlfriends that he had no time to think about anything else.

"Oh my god! Just now...wasn't that the snow woman seducing souls that we heard about on the way here? Mr. Shanshan... Mr. Shanshan's soul was seduced away by the snow woman?"

The first to break the silence was Sayuri Matsumoto, who was standing in the middle of the living room. However, her tone was no longer as refreshing and casual as before, but rather a little frightened. Her body was even closer to Akiko Yonehara and Misato Nakamura on both sides. It was obvious that the previous supernatural phenomenon had also made this beautiful music teacher feel scared...

She was scared, and Misato Nakamura next to her was even more scared. She held Matsumoto Sayuri tightly with both arms, and it was unclear who was comforting whom between the two of them.

On the other side, Akiko Yonehara had a look of disbelief on her face, but she was not afraid or nervous in her heart. Instead, she felt relieved, because that Sugiyama Hisatsu was one of the murderers who killed her student Mochizuki Minako three years ago. What annoyed her was that there were two murderers back then. The other murderer was a teacher respected by her student Mochizuki Minako, so her student Mochizuki Minako did not reveal who the other murderer was. She had originally planned to take advantage of this great opportunity of the gathering to investigate, but she did not expect such a thing to happen. How could she investigate the other murderer in this case!

"Humph, if it really is the Snow Girl who appeared, I have to thank this legendary beautiful monster, because she is much more useful than you useless teachers and those incompetent police officers three years ago."

"It seems that Mr. Shigayama Hisatsu will never be able to return to Teitan Academy again. My trip this time was not in vain. It's a pity that I forgot to bring my camera equipment when I left in such a hurry. Otherwise, if I had taken a picture of the scene just now, it would surely have caused an uproar in society..."

The person who spoke was Atsushi Mori. This reporter had also been shocked after seeing the supernatural scene before, but after he came to his senses and heard what Sayuri Matsumoto said, he thought of something and spoke in a cold tone.

Shimoda Kohei and Itai Ryuichi, who were somewhat shocked and panicked by this supernatural phenomenon, immediately shouted angrily after hearing this: "What on earth do you mean? You have seen what happened just now. Teacher Shinoyama Hisatsu might have had an accident. You are still here mocking him. This is too much!"

After hearing the angry scolding from Shimoda Kohei and Itai Ryuichi, Mori Atsushi curled his lips, revealing a sarcastic expression, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, and slowly said:

"You teachers are just as good at twisting the facts as you were three years ago.

I think it was the retribution for the bad things that Sugiyama Kujin did that caused his soul to be seduced away by the snow woman.

Do you know who signed the anonymous letter I received? Let me tell you, it was your teacher’s student, Minako Mochizuki!

"What did you say?! Mochizuki Minako?!"

Hearing this, all the teachers murmured in trembling voices and extreme horror.

After hearing this name, the most abnormal person among all was the Chinese teacher of Teitan Elementary School, Kohei Shimoda. After hearing the five words "Mochizuki Minako", he immediately screamed "Ah", stood up from the chair at the dining table, held his head with his hands, and began to tremble all over.

"What's wrong with you, Mr. Shimoda?"

After seeing Shimoda Kohei's exaggerated expression, Nakamura Misato couldn't help but feel strange. Although Mochizuki Minako's experience was a painful memory for everyone, Shimoda Kohei shouldn't be like this.

Seeing this, Nakamura Misato patted Shimoda Kohei's shoulder in worry. Shimoda Kohei immediately waved her arm away and yelled in panic. "Don't touch me! This, this has nothing to do with me! Nothing!"

After saying this, Shimoda Kohei hurriedly ran back to a room on the second floor under the surprised gazes of everyone in the restaurant, and with a "bang" sound, he locked himself in...

"Tsk, a grown man is frightened like this by a name. He didn't appreciate the comfort from Teacher Misato and even showed such a disgusting attitude. He is really bad!"

After seeing this scene, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but curl her lips and sarcastically said that because of Lin Xiao's comfort, she and Xiaolan had long since calmed down from their previous fears. Although it was her first time meeting Nakamura Misato today, she liked Misato's temper and personality very much, so she spoke out to express her dissatisfaction.

When the teachers saw Shimoda Kohei's reaction, they had different attitudes...

A trace of resentment flashed in Yonehara Akiko's eyes. Knowing the hidden story of the past, she had also seen from Shimoda Kohei's abnormal behavior that this man was the other demon who killed her student Mochizuki Minako. Therefore, she had an uncontrollable murderous intent in her heart at this moment!

Sayuri Matsumoto, who was standing aside, had been sitting there with her head down, silent and drinking the lemon tea in her hand since she heard Minako Mochizuki's name. She looked sad, with tears in her eyes and a desolate face.

……

At night, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Conan was lying next to Lin Xiao, snoring loudly, but he had no intention of sleeping at all.

Just then, Lin Xiao heard the faint sound of a harmonica and left the room to find out what was going on.

When Lin Xiao came downstairs, he saw a woman standing in front of the glass window of the villa. She was looking at the snow outside the glass and playing the harmonica. She was as beautiful as a lily.

The sound of the harmonica is beautiful, but not loud. If Lin Xiao was not the Phantom Thief of the Heart, he would not have been able to hear it.

Noticing the footsteps behind her, the woman put down her harmonica and turned around.

"Eh? Xiaojun, did I disturb your rest?"

"No... I just can't sleep..."

"me too."

"Sister Ayako..."

The woman in front of him was none other than Suzuki Ayako. Although her appearance was not the most stunning in the world, her elegant and gentle temperament as a lady from a noble family still won Lin Xiao's favor.

Lin Xiao is not a superficial man, he likes all kinds of women, of different types, different personalities, different ages... He has a philanthropic heart!

Suzuki Ayako wore simple pajamas, with a graceful figure, long hair draped over her shoulders, and a pair of charming sleepy eyes. In this environment, she looked mysterious and beautiful.

"Eh? Xiaojun, what are you doing?"

Suzuki Ayako's body trembled. She was hugged tightly by Lin Xiao. She deeply felt the warmth and reliability of the man.

"Sister Ayako, I love you!"

At this moment, Suzuki Ayako was stunned by Lin Xiao's sudden confession. She didn't expect that Lin Xiao would confess to her. She thought that Lin Xiao should like Xiaolan or Yuanzi...

Chapter 226: The eldest daughter of the chaebol

Although Suzuki Ayako and Lin Xiao had physical contact, it was just for their own benefit and she had not imagined any further development. It was not that she did not want to, but it was her rational restraint.

It took a while for Suzuki Ayako to come back to her senses after hearing Lin Xiao's sudden confession.

"Xiaojun, calm down. The person you like should be Xiaolan or Yuanzi..."

"Yes, Sister Ayako, I like both Xiaolan and Sonoko, but I like you too..."

"Ah?! How can you say such a thing?"

Lin Xiao's shamelessness caught Suzuki Ayako off guard. She could hardly imagine that Lin Xiao was such a person!

"That's exactly what I thought." Lin Xiao felt a little helpless. This was really a risky move, but he didn't want to hide it. He didn't want to have any regrets.

Suzuki Ayako suddenly pulled herself out of Lin Xiaoli's arms, staring at him with her almond-shaped eyes wide open. A hint of anger rose on her delicate face. She even raised the harmonica case she had put away before, but she put it down again after a few seconds...

After adjusting her mood slightly, Suzuki Ayako said with a hint of coldness in her voice:

"Lin Xiao, I see you clearly. It's not enough that you're two-timing. You're dating my sister and my sister's best friend at the same time. Even that's not enough... you actually..."

It would be fine if Lin Xiao simply liked her among so many girls, and maybe she would accept Lin Xiao's confession regardless of everything... However, Lin Xiao clearly wanted to have multiple relationships at the same time, which was too much.

Suzuki Ayako received a good education since childhood, so how could she accept Lin Xiao's incredible behavior.

"Sister Ayako, but...we...have already..."

"Shut up, I hope you forget the past. I don't take it to heart, and you shouldn't take it to heart either."

The gentle Suzuki Ayako became stern. She even wanted to hit Lin Xiao with a harmonica to physically correct him.

"Could it be that... Sister Ayako, your family has arranged a date for you again?"

"Not really. The Tozawa family has a patricide scandal, and my family is not willing to arrange a date for me for now."

"That's all right... Sister Reiko, you, Xiaolan, and Sonoko will become my girlfriend?"

"Ah. So, Ran and Sonoko... are both your girlfriends. No wonder... No wonder I always felt that there was something wrong with the way they looked at you... If that's the case, then it completely explains it..."

Hearing this, Suzuki Ayako was surprised, and showed an expression of "I see". Because as a woman, she could feel that Xiaolan and Yuanzi's feelings for Lin Xiao were from the heart. She thought that Lin Xiao would choose one of them, but in fact, Lin Xiao accepted them all. No wonder Lin Xiao wanted to accept her too.

"Lin Xiao, you are too disrespectful to girls. What do you think of girls?"

Suzuki Ayako was angry. She admired Lin Xiao so much, but she didn't expect that Lin Xiao was actually a scumbag who played with girls' feelings.

"Sister Ayako, you misunderstood me. There is no man who respects girls more than me!"

Lin Xiao hugged Suzuki Ayako again: "I like Xiaolan and Sonoko, and you as well. My feelings towards you are the same, and I like you all. I know that you also have a good impression of me, so don't reject me, okay..."

"Don't be so self-righteous." Even if Suzuki Ayako really had feelings for Lin Xiao, she would not admit it, because Lin Xiao was too scumbag and had crossed her bottom line.

Seeing that Suzuki Ayako refused to obey, Lin Xiao tried to soften her with his actions. He looked into her eyes and kissed her sweet lips.

"Uh-huh..."

Suzuki Ayako was kissed, and the happy memories of being with Lin Xiao instantly came back to her mind.

"Why did you kiss me without my permission?"

"Sister Ayako, do you hate me? You were not like this before."

"Hate it, no."

"Since you don't hate me, just obey me."
