Conan: The Heart Thief

"I have several movies where Akira Sakamaki is the film director. If I turn them down, won't it make me look heartless?"

"Okay. When do we leave? Now?"

"Almost. However, you can't dress too casually. I bought you a suit. Please change into it first."

Then, Lin Xiao was pulled by Yukiko into her room.

Including the bow tie, shirt, leather shoes, socks and so on, each item perfectly fits Lin Xiao's body size and is neatly placed on the bed.

"That's the set. Change it up?"

"Won't you step aside?"

"What's there to avoid?"

"never mind……"

In front of Yukiko, Lin Xiao put on a brand new suit.

"Well, it's perfect, so handsome, my son Shinichi is not as handsome as you."

Yukiko showed an expression of great satisfaction, took Lin Xiao's hand, and walked to the large mirror in the cupboard.

"Well...we are such a perfect match."

The more Yukiko looked, the more satisfied she became. Lin Xiao was young and handsome. In comparison, Kudo Yusaku looked like an old man.

"Xiao, what do you think?"

Lin Xiao was thinking about something else: "There will probably be many celebrities at the memorial service later. If you take me with you, people will ask me who I am to you."

"My boyfriend." Yukiko said indifferently, "I'm too lazy to act anymore. Even if Kudo Yusaku asked me, I would answer like this."

"Yukiko, you're so brave." Lin Xiao felt that he had to draw a line between himself and Yukiko at that time. He really didn't want to be on the news.

……

It was 3: in the afternoon. A red Mercedes convertible sports car slowly drove into the empty underground parking lot of Beihu Hotel and stopped next to a black Audi A.

The engine was turned off, the passenger door was opened first, and a slender leg covered by a Bohemian-style long skirt stepped out of the car.

"Oh, it's so hot and stuffy in the underground garage."

Yukiko got out of the sports car, took a deep breath and looked around, unable to help but curl her lips.

The person who got out from the driver's seat on the other side was naturally Lin Xiao, who was wearing a neat suit.

"It's snowing outside the hotel, and you're still feeling hot?"

"Yeah...thanks to your hard work in irrigation, I feel like my body is getting better and better."

Yukiko smiled at Lin Xiao with her crescent eyes.

"Okay. I will keep irrigating and satisfy your bottomless pit."

Lin Xiao gently stroked Yukiko's peerless face, which was beautiful, watery, tight and warm. She was truly a god-chosen gun mount that could be used for a lifetime.

"Then it's settled."

Yukiko generously took Lin Xiao's arm and raised her chin proudly.

The two of them left the underground garage together and took the elevator up.

When the elevator door reopened, the cold air from the hotel's central air conditioner mixed with the slightly noisy voices of people suddenly hit me. Looking out from the elevator, the first thing that caught my eye was the lobby in front of the hotel's banquet hall, which covered an entire floor. The bright red carpet, the solid wood carved and gilded banquet hall door, and the hotel staff standing behind the service desk at the door responsible for counting and verifying the identity of the guests...

The most eye-catching thing is the large posters on the walls on both sides of the banquet hall's door that look like couplets.

【Memorial service for film director Akira Sakamaki...】

The door of the banquet hall was open, and one could see that many guests had already arrived, their evening gowns and suits mixed together, interweaving to the melodious saxophone music.

Yukiko extended her hand to Lin Xiao, who immediately understood and took out the invitation from his shirt pocket and gave it to her.

The two came to the service desk next to the door. The receptionist was a pretty waitress from the hotel. After receiving the invitation, she immediately lowered her head to confirm the name.

"You are Ms. Kudo Yukiko... Huh? He is..." Then she looked at Lin Xiao with a confused expression.

"He is my male companion, who accompanies me. You don't need to know who he is," Yukiko explained.

"Oh. Please come in." The waitress immediately made a gesture of invitation.

After the two entered, the waitress couldn't help but murmured, "I remember that Kudo Yusaku was also invited, why not with his wife?" The Kudo couple is a famous imitation couple among Japanese celebrities, and this scene made her feel disappointed. "Sure enough, the variety shows on TV are all performed according to the script."

In the banquet hall, men and women in formal attire can be seen everywhere. They all have slicked-back hair and powdered faces, holding a glass of red wine and looking elegant, just like successful people in society.

Yukiko looked around and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Wow, there are quite a few celebrities coming to this party tonight."

"Oh? I also saw Ayumi Hamasaki." Lin Xiao responded casually.

"Ayumi Hamasaki? Are you a fan of her?"

"It's okay, I think her songs are nice." Lin Xiao stood there, looking around, "Strange, why don't I see Mai Kuraki? Did I get it mixed up?" Lin Xiao remembered that Mai Kuraki had also appeared on the stage.

"You have so many fans of singing girls." Yukiko moved her lips unhappily. "She sings very well, so just be my fan. Why do you have to be a fan of singing girls?"

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like an official and had a rather thin physique was surrounded by several other reporters, who seemed to be asking some pointed questions. From time to time, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"I remember that person was..."

Yukiko frowned and recalled it seriously, then suddenly relaxed.

"Oh, I remember now. That person has appeared in the news recently. He was a congressman who was recently exposed for suspected bribery. What was his name..."

She was suddenly stuck, but fortunately someone came up from behind at the critical moment.

"Yukiko, she's Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi."

"Oh, that's right, Tunkou Shigehiko! Uh..."

Before Yukiko could be happy, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why does the voice that reminded me just now sound so familiar?

In an instant, a weak electric current seemed to flow through her mind, and Yukiko suddenly looked back.

The next moment, a streak of golden hair as dazzling as the sunlight shining on the sea from the Portofino sky came into view, and below was a beautiful face like a witch that enchanted everyone, and a perfect figure that even the Arab robe could not hide.

It is Chrissie Wynyard, the most popular female star in the European and American film industry today.

Or you can call it——

“…Sharon!”

When she recognized the identity of the person, Yukiko couldn't help but cheer and went up to give the blonde witch a big hug.

"Nice to meet you again, Yukiko."

"But remember to call me Chris here."

Thanks to Yusaku Kudo, Vermouth no longer needs to act in front of Yukiko.

"If I call you Chris, doesn't that mean you are a generation younger than me?"

Chris's identity is to the outside world that she is Sharon's daughter. Logically, Chris should call Yukiko aunt.

"That's right, then you can call me Vermouth."

"Vermouth... Yeah, I remember that."

Vermouth is the name of a wine, and Yukiko remembered it easily.

Just as Yukiko was chatting with her old friend, an old man appeared in front of Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, you're here too, can I have a word with you?"

Lin Xiao looked carefully and found that it was Kudo Yusaku. It had been a long time since they last met. He didn't know whether he had successfully joined the organization.

"It's Mr. Kudo, why don't you say hello to your wife first?"

"What I'm doing now is too dangerous. I'd better try to distance myself from Yukiko as much as possible."

Kudo Yusaku pursed his lips helplessly and signaled Lin Xiao with his eyes to follow him.

Chapter 241: Shinran CP is broken, Vermouth is broken

Lin Xiao followed Kudo Yusaku to the corner and whispered.

Then he told Lin Xiao his plan.

It turned out that he was assigned a mission to gain the trust of the organization. He was worried that Lin Xiao would interfere with him, so he informed him in advance.

"Oh, I see. It looks like Mr. Kudo is not far from success."

"This is just the beginning. It's very difficult to gain trust and penetrate the organization..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Kudo, you can do whatever you want, I will take care of your wife."

"Ahahaha... I'm not worried about Yukiko, I'm worried about Shinichi. That guy does things without considering the consequences, please help me persuade him to stop interfering."

"That's probably going to disappoint Mr. Kudo. Shinichi won't listen to me at all."

"It doesn't matter. I just said that. No matter what happens next, you don't need to be surprised, Mr. Lin Xiao."

"I see."

To be honest, Lin Xiao didn't want to have anything to do with the organization at all. Kudo Yusaku wanted to play house with the organization, which was exactly what he wanted.

After getting Lin Xiao's guarantee, Kudo Yusaku felt relieved and could carry out the mission with confidence. He needed to kill Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi as a token of his loyalty to the organization.

After Kudo Yusaku left, Lin Xiao returned to Yukiko.

"What did Yusaku say to you?" Yukiko asked bluntly.

"Did you notice?" Lin Xiao still thought Yukiko knew nothing.

"Of course I noticed. One is my husband and the other is my boyfriend. How could I not notice?"

"Okay... Mr. Kudo is going to do something later, I hope I won't get in his way."

"Oh, I see. As long as it doesn't interfere with me, it's fine." Yukiko nodded coldly, showing no interest in her legal husband.

Vermouth was quite surprised to hear that Lin Xiao and Yukiko were dating. She really didn't expect Yukiko to be a cheating woman. Therefore, she became interested in Lin Xiao.

"Yukiko, is he your boyfriend?" Vermouth pointed at Lin Xiao.

"Ah... yes, how about it, not bad, right?" Yukiko smiled and showed off her boyfriend in front of her bestie, "Much more handsome than that old man Yusaku, right?"
