Conan: The Heart Thief

"Indeed... He's really good..." Vermouth looked at Lin Xiao. As a well-known Hollywood actor, she had seen many handsome guys, but she had never seen a boy as handsome as Lin Xiao.

"Yukiko, won't you introduce your friend to me?" Although Lin Xiao knew that the other party was Vermouth, he pretended not to know.

"Oh. Her name is Vermouth. She's my good friend and I have known her for many years." Yukiko walked to Vermouth's side and introduced her with a smile.

The two women standing side by side are really stunning. One is a blonde in a red dress, and the other is a silver-haired girl in a black dress. Both are T0 beauties, with high-class faces, first-class aesthetics, and real big stars.

"Ms. Vermouth, please take care of me. I am Lin Xiao..."

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand towards Vermouth, but Vermouth was very arrogant and ignored Lin Xiao, causing Lin Xiao to retract his hand in embarrassment.

"Yukiko, does Yusaku know that you are looking for a boyfriend?" Vermouth turned sideways and asked her best friend.

"I don't know. How can I tell Yusaku about this? Yusaku is my husband, I have to take care of Yusaku's feelings, don't you think?"

"It's been such a short time since we last met, and you've changed so much." Vermouth sighed, feeling like she didn't recognize Yukiko anymore.

"It can't be helped." Yukiko said innocently, "I guess my husband has already contacted you."

"Yes. I know everything about Shinichi." It was because Kudo Shinichi was Vermouth's godson that Vermouth accepted Kudo Yusaku.

"In that case, my husband still needs your care." Yukiko naturally pushed Kudo Yusaku to Vermouth. Of course, Vermouth didn't think highly of Kudo Yusaku at all.

"I'm not interested in your husband." Vermouth's face immediately turned cold. How could such a proud woman like her look down on an old man like Kudo Yusaku? What she was interested in was her godson, Kudo Shinichi. As a die-hard fan of the Shinichi and Ran CP, she only cared about one thing. "Yukiko, besides your son's condition, what about Xiaolan?"

"Eh? Why did you suddenly mention Xiaolan?"

"Isn't your Shinichi dating Mouri Ran? Now that Shinichi is in trouble, will Mouri Ran leave Shinichi?" Vermouth was quite concerned about this matter.

Speaking of Mao Lilan, Yukiko was embarrassed: "Sister Bei, you misunderstood. My Shinichi and Mao Lilan are just childhood sweethearts, and they are not dating."

Hearing Yukiko's answer, Vermouth was unhappy and pinched Yukiko's chin: "Yukiko, don't play dumb in front of me, what happened?"

"Ah, this, this, this..." Yukiko was so panicked that she couldn't explain at all.

Lin Xiao, who was standing by, laughed when he saw Vermouth's angry look.

He raised his hand and pulled Yukiko into his arms, rubbing Yukiko's big breasts while looking at Vermouth with a provocative look.

"Ms. Vermouth, not only is Yukiko my girlfriend, but Mao Lilan is also my girlfriend. Why are you so concerned about my girlfriend?"

Vermouth was shocked when she heard Lin Xiao's words. If what Lin Xiao said was true, then Kudo Shinichi's mother and childhood sweetheart were both taken away by Lin Xiao. This development was too strange.

"What a joke! Mouri Ran likes Kudo Shinichi, how can she be your girlfriend!" Vermouth didn't believe it at all. She felt that Mouri Ran would be loyal to Kudo Shinichi until death. Even if Kudo Shinichi had become a child now, it was just a short separation. It was impossible for Mouri Ran to change her heart so quickly.

"Yukiko, come and explain to your best friend." Lin Xiao ordered.

Yukiko had no choice but to obey Lin Xiao's words. She said awkwardly, "I'm sorry... Sister Bei... Lin Xiao did not deceive you. Mao Lilan is also Lin Xiao's girlfriend..."

"Yukiko, are you crazy? How can you allow this to happen? Mao Lilan is your future daughter-in-law, and you let Mao Lilan be taken away by another man. Are you worthy of your son Shinichi?!"

Vermouth was so angry that she started cursing, and the other guests all looked over here.

Hearing Vermouth's accusation, Yukiko felt ashamed, but the fact had already happened and she had to accept it. Besides, the truth was not that bad.

"Sorry……"

Yukiko bowed her head and apologized, looking so pitiful that Vermouth felt sympathy for her. Vermouth could no longer blame her best friend. So, Vermouth transferred all her hatred to Lin Xiao.

Vermouth glared at Lin Xiao with murderous intent. She seriously suspected that Lin Xiao learned about Kudo Shinichi's situation and used it to threaten Yukiko and Mori Ran, so that the two women were forced to give themselves to him under his power.

Chapter 242 Yukiko

In an instant, Vermouth had already imagined the scene of Lin Xiao dealing with Yukiko and Mouri Ran.

Lin Xiao: "Madam, you don't want the outside world to know that your son has become a child, right?"

Yukiko: "Please, keep my son a secret, I'll do anything."

Lin Xiao: "Xiao Lan, your childhood sweetheart has become a child. It will be difficult to deal with if someone finds out."

Xiaolan: "No, you can't spread this. I will do whatever you want me to do."

So, Lin Xiao embraced Yukiko and Xiaolan on his left and right, and the two women were invaded by Lin Xiao wantonly...

Thinking of this, Vermouth had already developed the intention to kill Lin Xiao.

"Boy, you have found a way to die--"

"Hmm? Miss Vermouth, why are you so upset with me? It seems like we don't even know each other."

Lin Xiao found it funny when he saw Vermouth's frustrated look.

"You wait!"

Vermouth couldn't get angry in front of Yukiko. In her heart, she had a plan to deal with Lin Xiao. She was a high-ranking member of the organization, a female devil who killed people without blinking an eye. Anyone who was targeted by her would be in great danger.

"Oh...Okay...If Miss Vermouth is interested in me, I'll be waiting."

Lin Xiao smiled and didn't care about Vermouth's threat at all.

"You two...what's wrong?"

As for Yukiko, she thought that Lin Xiao and her bestie were in love. She thought that she would give Lin Xiao a good scolding when she got back, and make him restrain himself and stop being the big-headed son and the small-headed father.

……

As the lights in the hall dimmed, the memorial service officially began.

The host in a suit walked onto the stage and began to tell interesting stories about the life of director Sakamaki Akira. After that, he started to play some short clips shot during his lifetime on a projector.

As the projector played the images and the lights in the hall went out, the sound of large pieces of glass breaking echoed throughout the dark banquet hall.

When the lights were turned back on, it was seen that the huge crystal chandelier that was originally located above the center of the banquet hall had been broken at the connection with the ceiling. The entire crystal chandelier fell to the ground and was completely destroyed. There was a pool of blood in the ruins of broken glass.

There was a person under the crystal chandelier, and that person was none other than the congressman Tsunoguchi Shigehiko who was suspected of corruption and bribery.

"Ah...someone died?"

"It was Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi! He was crushed to death by a crystal chandelier."

"Someone come quickly..."

After someone died at the memorial service, the well-dressed guests suddenly became panic-stricken.

The police outside the memorial service immediately rushed in and investigated the case.

Since the deceased was a congressman who had been the subject of controversy recently, Inspector Megure was extremely cautious. He ordered the accompanying forensic officers to conduct a detailed investigation and collect evidence, and then fully understood the situation from the eyewitnesses who were around at the time of the incident before he ordered the deceased's prosthetic body to be towed away.

In the banquet hall, the crashed crystal chandelier still remains in its place.

Inspector Megure stood around the crystal chandelier with his chin in his hand, examining and analyzing it.

"Hmm... I see. It fell down when the lights were turned off and a movie was playing... Judging from the crack where it connects to the ceiling, it must have fallen into disrepair..."

Indeed, judging from the crime scene, anyone would think it was an accident, and that Shigehiko Tsuguchi died purely because he was unlucky.

Although there was definitely a factor of the Beihu Hotel's management's negligence in maintaining the hotel's equipment, it happened that Shigehiko Tsuguchi was able to run under the crumbling crystal chandelier and get hit in such a dark situation.

This is simply an unexpected accident. My luck is extremely bad.

Lin Xiao knew that this was exactly what Kudo Yusaku did. Kudo Yusaku had informed him in advance, so he didn't say much.

It was Inspector Megure who cautiously confirmed with Lin Xiao.

"Brother Lin, it's great that you're here. Tunkou Shigehiko's death was an accident. Is there any problem?"

"Inspector Megure, if you think it is true, then it is true. There is no need to confirm it with me. I am just a high school student."

"Uh... that's right."

Inspector Megure also felt that what Lin Xiao said made sense. Don't always try to rely on detectives, but also trust your own judgment occasionally.

A murder occurred at the memorial service, and the guests were in no mood to stay any longer, so they all left early.

As soon as they returned to Kudo's house, the two of them immediately got together in the entrance hall. There were no extra steps, and the two of them were together naturally.

"Xiao, my husband reminded you not to interfere. Is he referring to the death of Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi?" Yukiko was puzzled. She felt that Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi's death was abnormal, and her husband didn't even dare to show up in front of her. It might be related to her husband.

"That's right. Tsunoguchi Shigehiko was killed by your husband. Your husband specifically reminded me of this incident." Lin Xiao explained.

"Then why don't you turn against them and tell the police to put him in jail?"

"Aren't you angry when I do this? Your husband took the risk to join the organization just for the antidote for your son."

"As long as Yusaku is still my husband, I will feel guilty for being with you. If my husband goes to jail, I can divorce him naturally, hehe..."

"You are such a vicious woman. I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your husband."

Lin Xiao held Yukiko's ankle and made her stand on one leg in her high heels, like this...

"Ah...Yusaku is not my husband, you are my husband, hehe..." Yukiko didn't care about what Lin Xiao said.

"Okay, okay! I am your husband!" Lin Xiao was happy.

……

At the same time, in the underground parking lot of Beihu Hotel.

Yusaku Kudo stood beside Vermouth's car, very respectful.

"Vermouth, I have successfully killed Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi. Can I now officially join the organization?"

"Um……"

"Thank you very much for your help, Vermouth!"

After much effort, Kudo Yusaku finally officially joined the organization.

"Kudo Yusaku, since you have chosen to join the organization, divorce Yukiko immediately and don't let her get involved."

"Eh? Is it necessary?"

Yusaku Kudo is reluctant to divorce Yukiko Kudo because his wife is beautiful and virtuous, and he won't be able to find anyone better if they divorce.

"Of course." Vermouth's expression was grim. "You also know the nature of the organization. Don't involve Yukiko, understand?"

"I still need to think about it. Please give me some time."

Even though Vermouth said this, Kudo Yusaku still couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing that Kudo Yusaku was hesitant, Vermouth added: "Kudo Yusaku, listen to me, you have been afraid to go home, and Yukiko has already found another boyfriend. You should get a divorce quickly and don't cause trouble for Yukiko."

"what?"

Kudo Yusaku's pupils shrank. He couldn't believe it. He thought his wife was loyal and would never betray him no matter what he did. So much so that he never thought that his wife would betray him!
