Conan: The Heart Thief

"Sister, you——"

"Ah, sister..."

Lin Xiao walked forward and touched the nose of Muto Kyoichi, whose head was covered in blood. It was obvious that he was dead.

The murderer is undoubtedly the girl in front of him who is as white as porcelain, Ruriko's sister - Shigure.

At this moment, Lin Yue and Xiaolan had not returned yet, and the only witnesses were Liulizi and Lin Xiao.

The sudden accident made Liulizi at a loss for words. She asked tremblingly, "Lin Xiao, should we call the police?"

Lin Xiao said: "No, wait a minute and listen to what Shi Yu has to say..."

Lin Xiao said: "Shi Yu, with your weak body, it is impossible to knock down two adults. What happened here? And why did you kill Muto Kyoichi?"

Although Shigure and Ruriko are not related by blood, in fact, their relationship has always been quite good and there are no conflicts.

Liulizi said: "Sister, you are only fourteen years old. I don't want to see you go to jail at such a young age. Tell me what happened..."

Before Shi Yu could finish his words, he choked and started crying. Then, he slowly told Liulizi and Lin Xiao everything, including the truth about the death of Liulizi's father, Sakuragi Fuyusuke.

After hearing Shi Yu's description, to be honest, Lin Xiao felt that Ying Shu Dong Sheng's death was his own fault.

In fact, Yingshu Dongsheng did not really want to marry Ms. Lin Yue. His target was Lin Yue’s daughter, Shi Yu.

Yingshu Dongsheng wanted to marry Lin Yue because he wanted to possess Shi Yu's skin, which was as white as the pottery he fired.

On the day when Sakuragi Fuyusheng died, it was March. As if affected by the season, Sakuragi Fuyusheng also started to feel horny, and he really planned to attack Shigure.

Before this, it was just some tricks, but this time Sakuragi Fuyuo was serious.

Shi Yu did not tell anyone about her stepfather's previous violence. She endured it silently for the sake of her mother.

However, facing the obviously crazier Sakuragi Fuyuo, Shigure was terrified and she couldn't help but call for help.

Ms. Lin Yue, who came upon hearing the news, immediately stopped Ying Shudongsheng and a quarrel was inevitable. She angrily quarreled with Ying Shudongsheng, and the result of the quarrel was that Ying Shudongsheng died.

The incident did not end there. Muto Kyoichi appeared.

Hearing the quarrel, he looked at the almost naked Shigure, the blood-stained Sakuragi Fuyuo, and Ms. Lin Yue holding the murder weapon and said, "You don't have to turn yourself in. This man deserves to be killed." Muto suggested that when Ms. Ruriko was away from home at school in Tokyo, he would make Sakuragi Fuyuo's death an accidental fall.

Ms. Lin Yue, who was worried that no one would take care of Shi Yu after she was arrested, compromised. She did what Mutou said and let him control her.

The reason why Muto stayed at the Sakura family was not because of Ms. Lin Yue, but because of Sakura Haruko. It was Sakura Haruko who asked her brother to let Muto stay at the Sakura family. The two were once a couple, and although they broke up, Sakura Haruko still hasn't given up. The reason why she stayed in this country that she was tired of was partly for the Sakura family's property and partly for Muto.

Just now, Muto and Haruko had an argument because of Ms. Lin Yue.

Haruko picked up the heavy ashtray on the table and swung it towards Muto's head. Facing the aggressive Sakuragi Haruko, Muto panicked and had no time to dodge. He protected himself with one hand and pushed away with the other.

A violent collision sounded, and both Muto and Sakuragi Haruko were injured and fell to the ground at the same time. Muto was knocked unconscious by the ashtray, and Sakuragi Haruko was pushed against the wall and also fainted.

The room fell into silence. But soon, footsteps were heard, and a person stepped into the room cautiously. The person who came had fair skin, thin limbs and a beautiful face. She was Ruriko's sister - Sakuragi Shigure.

Shigure hates both Sakuragi Haruko and Muto and even hopes they die.

The reason why he hated Sakuragi Haruko was that she always found fault with her and her daughter and always wanted to drive them away. The reason why he hated Muto was because after the "accidental" death of Sakuragi Fuyuo, he used the incident as a handle to threaten Ms. Lin Yue and force her to do things she didn't want to do.

In fact, when Mutou and Sakuragi Haruko started arguing, Shigure happened to pass by here. She immediately hid by the window and peeked. She saw everything that happened, so when she saw both of them fall to the ground at the same time, she was so excited that she sneaked into the private room to check the situation.

In short, Shi Yu longed for the two to die, but she was soon disappointed because the two had only fainted and they were not dead.

Haruko Sakuragi only suffered a mild concussion, and the injury on the left side of Mr. Muto's head was not life-threatening.

Shigure thought that when Aunt Haruko woke up, she might think that she had killed Muto, so she might as well take this opportunity to give Muto a fatal blow and then put all the blame on Aunt Haruko.

No problem. Kill Mutou and put the blame on Aunt Haruko, and no one will know.

The law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it. All of this was seen by Liulizi who was taking Lin Xiao home.

"What should we do? Lin Xiao..."

After learning everything, Liulizi looked at Lin Xiao with a sad face.

Lin Xiao was silent. He could not say that Shi Yu was right, nor could he say that Shi Yu was wrong. Human nature is evil, which led to the tragedy.

At this moment, Haruko woke up, and the blood-stained ashtray, the murder weapon, happened to be next to her.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw three people, all staring at her with complicated expressions.

"Ah? Muto is dead... I killed someone..."

When Haruko woke up, she naturally thought that she was the one who killed Muto in this situation.

Although the three people in front of her knew that she was not the murderer, they all remained silent and no one revealed the truth.

"You all saw it..."

Haruko collapsed... She really didn't mean to kill anyone! She just had an argument with Muto, and she never expected that Muto would die inexplicably.

Haruko plopped down like a taxi driver, "I really didn't mean to kill anyone. It was an accident. Besides, he was at fault for the argument between him and me. Muto and I were originally lovers, and he was able to live in this house because I asked my brother for help. As soon as my brother died, he broke up with me and pursued Ms. Lin Yue. Please, don't expose me anymore. I don't want to go to jail."

Haruko's performance did not receive any response. After all, Shigure was the real murderer, and she had nothing to say. For Ruriko, she did not want to see Haruko or Shigure go to jail, and Muto was always just an outsider, so if he died, he died, there was nothing to regret.

As for Lin Xiao, he is just an outsider and there is nothing much to say.

"Liulizi...Aunt treats you the best, you will definitely not expose me, right!"

"Shi Yu, Auntie treated you badly, but I have reflected on it. I apologize to you now and will never speak ill of you and your mother again! Even if you and your mother inherit my brother's property, I will not complain!"

"Mr. Lin, for Liulizi's sake, can you spare Auntie?"

Lin Xiao said: "But Muto is already dead. Even if the three of us don't say anything, we can't keep it secret forever. How are you going to explain it to the police?"

Haruko Sakuragi looked at the scattered footprints on the ground outside the door and an idea came to her.

Haruko Sakuragi ran outside, got a green plastic water pipe, and connected the pipe to the faucet next to the door.

"Please, leave this villa first."

The three of them didn't know what Sakuragi Haruko wanted to do, but they still followed her instructions and left this separate building specially reserved for Mr. Muto and came to the open-air passage.

Then, Sakuragi Haruko turned on the tap to wet the floor leading to Mutou's room. Then, she put on Mutou's shoes placed at the door, walked out of the yard from the dry floor, and then stepped on the wet floor back to Mutou's room, leaving only the footprints of Mutou returning to his room.

Next, she changed back into her shoes and walked out of the yard through the dry ground.

It seemed that God was specially cooperating with Sakuragi Haruko. After a flash of lightning and a muffled thunder, rain began to fall from the sky.

The light footprints on the dry ground were washed away, but the footprints of Muto that Sakuragi Haruko deliberately left remained.

After a while, when only Muto's footprints were left on the ground, Sakuragi Haruko breathed a sigh of relief.

"Call the police and let this man die in an accident."

Haruko Sakuragi called the police, and an old policeman and a young policeman came to the village police station.

Such a partnership is normal, with an experienced police officer who is about to retire leading a rookie police officer while handling cases and providing guidance.

The police officers and rookie police officers came to Lin Xiao and others.

Not long after, Xiaolan and Ms. Lin Yue, who participated in the Thunder Festival, also returned to the Yingshu family.

Xiaolan was full of resentment for being stood up, and was about to get angry at Lin Xiao, but then she found out someone had died in Yingshu's family, so she couldn't do it.

Lin Xiao said to the old police officer: "I came to the scene with them and saw Mr. Muto dead in the house. I chose to call the police immediately to prevent the scene from being destroyed."

The old policeman praised: "You did a great job, man, but leave the rest to us."

Lin Xiao looked at the confident old policeman and nodded, without saying anything more.

The old police officer checked the scene and saw the footprints on the ground. He looked at everyone and said, "Judging from the situation at the scene, Mr. Muto was attacked after the thunderstorm started."

The old police officer walked into the house, checked it, and then said, "All the windows of the detached house were locked from the inside. Besides, the ground outside was muddy. If someone walked on it, they would definitely leave footprints, but we can't find anyone else's footprints. So, this is an accidental case!"

The old police officer was very satisfied with his reasoning, and no one could find any reason to refute it, so the case was quickly closed...

Looking at the ambulance and police leaving, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "That's it! This is too ridiculous! There's not even a forensic examination..."

Sakuragi Haruko was very grateful to the three people who helped her "hide the truth". At the same time, her attitude towards Lin Yue and her daughter also improved significantly. As for the family property that Sakuragi Haruko and Sakuragi Shigure would share, she did not dare to pursue it further. As for Ruriko, she also achieved her goal and learned the truth about her father's death. Her father's death was really deserved, there was nothing to say.

Muto's death made Ms. Lin Yue feel cheerful. The scum who had been threatening her was dead, so she had no reason to be unhappy. Ms. Lin Yue was in a good mood and specially prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain everyone.

"A scum like Mutou deserves to die. With Mutou's death, the Sakura family, which was once at loggerheads, has become extremely harmonious."

Lin Xiao felt that concealing the truth was not a bad thing, but a good thing.

After dinner, Liulizi arranged rooms for Lin Xiao and Xiaolan, then suddenly walked to Lin Xiao and whispered:

"I won't sleep tonight. I'll wait for you in the room..."

Lin Xiao didn't expect that Liulizi was still thinking about his beauty.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but shook his head. The world is really going downhill and people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be. Just because you are handsome, you can really do whatever you want!

At night, the two of them were in the same room, and Xiaolan's suppressed anger finally erupted.

"Lin Xiao, why did you leave me alone and run away during the Thunder Festival? Do you know how worried I was? I have been looking for you for a long time during the memorial service..."

"Xiaolan, you asked me to help Liulizi investigate the truth about her father's death. I disappeared for a while just for this matter. I didn't abandon you on purpose."

"Well... what you said is true..."

Xiaolan was speechless, feeling that she was indeed wrong. It was she who had dragged Lin Xiao over to investigate the truth. Lin Xiao had fulfilled her request, but she blamed him. She lowered her head in shame and apologized to Lin Xiao.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have gotten angry at Lin Jun."

"It's okay." Lin Xiao smiled and stroked Xiaolan's fluffy hair. "But, I still want to see your sincerity, Xiaolan."

Xiaolan's face turned red and she really obeyed Lin Xiao.

She stripped herself naked, folded her clothes neatly aside, and exposed her bare butt to Lin Xiaoshi as he sat down.

"I'm sorry, Master Lin Xiao!"

"Gulp." Lin Xiao swallowed his saliva. Xiaolan was too cute. She was a sunny and lively student, but in private, she obeyed her boyfriend and was willing to do anything for him. She was cute in contrast.

Xiaolan's obedient appearance made Lin Xiao excited, and he immediately pushed the charming Xiaolan down, and started to have sex...

Chapter 252 You are all my wings

Xiaolan was full of love and was willing to be completely accepted by Lin Xiao... and fell asleep happily.

Lin Xiao couldn't sleep at this time. He took a few deep breaths and cheered himself up. He put on his clothes and left the room.

Lin Xiao shook his head, came to the door of Liulizi's boudoir, and knocked.

"Lin Jun, why is it you?"
