Conan: The Heart Thief

Lin Xiao looked at Xiaolan and asked, "Xiaolan, what do you think?"

"I am Xiaojun's girlfriend, and I will be Xiaojun's girlfriend for life. I will never cheat on Xiaojun. Yuanzi is my good friend, and I just play the role of her girlfriend. I don't think there is any problem. Besides, Yuanzi is also Xiaojun's girlfriend, so it doesn't make sense for Xiaojun to be jealous." Xiaolan is not a person who values ​​love over friendship, and she will not refuse Yuanzi's reasonable request.

"Okay, okay... Xiaolan and I will accompany you to show off for once." Lin Xiao rubbed Yuanzi's little head. He was not really jealous, he was just joking with his girlfriend.

Chapter 277 Red Herring - Qianying

On the streets of Tokyo.

Lin Xiao drove a bright yellow sports car, carrying Yuanzi and Xiaolan towards their destination. What was unexpected was that it was still summer yesterday, but now it was snowing.

Sitting in the back seat, Xiaolan and Sonoko changed into winter clothes. Looking at the snow-covered world along the way, the two girls happily chatted about girlish topics.

During this time, Yuanzi also performed a magic trick for Xiaolan. Lin Xiao saw through the rearview mirror that Yuanzi's magic show was simply child's play, and it could only fool Xiaolan.

Lin Xiao looked at Xiaolan who was surprised and wanted to say something but hesitated. He still couldn't bear to expose her. Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.

The destination was inside the mountains, so Lin Xiao drove the car to a nearby parking lot, dragged the luggage, and walked into the mountains with the two girls.

It was the classic Blizzard Villa mode again. There was a 100% chance of something happening. Lin Xiao was already used to it. After the three of them entered the mountain, they crossed a suspension bridge and arrived at the villa for the gathering.

After knocking on the door, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties came out of the house.

The moment the middle-aged man saw Yuanzi, he smiled and said, "You must be the disciple of the magician."

"Eh?"

Yuanzi's eyes narrowed immediately, and she was stunned. She didn't wait for the other party to see her and be surprised, but she was surprised when she was seen through.

The middle-aged man was immediately happy when he saw Yuanzi's surprised look: "Come in quickly. Everyone is here and has been waiting for you."

After entering the garden, he asked hurriedly: "Uncle, how do you know that I am the disciple of the magician?"

"Haha, I can tell from your choice of words! The tone between the lines is exactly... an 30-year-old high school girl pretending to be a man in his s, it's easy to be seen through!"

The middle-aged man looked at the other members in the room behind him with amusement and said, "You said so, right?"

The middle-aged man probably saw that the little girl looked too sad, so he kindly comforted her: "But don't worry, you are still very cute, so we didn't have the heart to expose you because you tried so hard! Haha!"

Yuanzi immediately looked embarrassed and couldn't help puffing up her cheeks: "..."

And... is this consolation? They clearly want to see my face when I am exposed, and they still say they can't bear it! Humph! These guys are so hateful!

At the same time, several members in the room also laughed.

Yuanzi had no choice but to honestly admit, "They are both my classmates and came here with me." She also wanted to introduce her "girlfriend" and "bodyguard".

Among them, a young man in his twenties pointed at a woman next to him and said, "Haha, if you want to pretend to be a man, you should learn from Miss Tanaka. Only when you pretend like her can you really look like one. Before we met, I really thought he was a man!"

"Hey, hey! Don't say that. I'm not pretending, okay? I never told you my gender!"

The woman named Tanaka was speechless and said, "On the contrary, I always thought you were the woman!"

The young man immediately winked at Miss Tanaka and said with a smile: "Then I have fooled you!"

"Humph! I was fooled by you too. I really thought you were a woman and even discussed perfume and underwear with you. Damn it!"

At this time, another woman with a ponytail hummed softly.

After joking around for a while, everyone started introducing themselves and stating their real names.

"I'm the owner of this villa, Araki Yoshinori, my online name is The Silent Ventriloquist." The middle-aged man introduced himself, and then he pointed to a tall and thin man, "He is the helper I hired, Mr. Xu Lian."

She was called Miss Tanaka and introduced herself: "My name is Tanaka Takahisa, and my online name is Ikasama Douji."

The young man who was mistaken for a woman introduced himself: "My name is Hamano Toshiya, and my online name is Disappeared Tiffany."

The woman with the ponytail introduced herself: "My name is Naoko Kuroda, and my online name is Phantom."

As they were talking, another woman came down from upstairs. She was older than Miss Tanaka and Miss Kuroda, but she was the most beautiful one, with outstanding grace and charm.

The woman walked down the stairs with lotus steps and introduced herself: "My online name is Red Herring, and my real name is Qianying!"

When Qianying finished introducing herself, Yuanzi immediately became surprised: "Huh? You are the red herring? I had the impression that you lived in Las Vegas, USA, but you came all the way to Tokyo, Japan!"

Qianying looked at the little girl in front of him, and curled his lips: "I didn't come to Tokyo, Japan specifically to attend the party. I came here for my son..."

Her son was a bad student and became a thief. It was the father's fault if the son was not well educated. Since her son had no father, she, the mother, had to discipline him.

Her eyes stayed on Yuanzi for a moment, then turned to Lin Xiao. She remembered that her son had suffered a great loss, and was photographed wearing women's clothing, which left him with a serious psychological trauma. It was Lin Xiao who did it.

"Are you the high school detective - Lin Xiao?"

Qianying asked subconsciously.

"Yes, it's me, Miss Qianying. Are you my fan too?"

"I'm not..." Qianying chuckled elegantly, "I heard about you from my son."

After confirming that Lin Xiao was the legendary high school detective, everyone's face changed slightly, and they all had their own thoughts. No one expected that the famous detective would come uninvited.

"It's great that Detective Lin is here. We'll let Detective Lin see our magic tricks and see if the famous Detective Lin can crack them."

"It's just an empty name." Lin Xiao waved his hand. He was not interested in magic. What he was interested in was the woman named Qianying. He didn't expect that she would appear in place of Kaito Kidd. This was a good opportunity to get to know this legendary woman.

Araki looked around and said, "Is everyone here? The only ones left are the escaped king and..."

"Shadow Mage."

Sonoko took over Arashi Yoshinori with a serious expression.

Xiaolan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yuanzi, is there anything special about this shadow mage?"

"A person called Shadow Mage always writes something on the Internet: 'My shadow will disappear freely! I will fly through the sky! My body can be separated freely!' Strange words like that! It makes people feel very scared..."

"Ah. I felt it too." Xiaolan couldn't help but shudder after hearing this.

"Don't worry about the Shadow Master. The Escape King is the organizer of the party. If he doesn't come, many activities can't be carried out!" Tanaka Takahisa frowned and said.

"Yes!" Kuroda Naoko also nodded, "Everyone... does anyone have the contact information of the Escape King?"

"I know! And I also know his real name!" Huang Yizhe immediately took out his cell phone, "I'll call him right now."

Chapter 278: Teasing Kaito Kidd's Mom

Araki called the escaped king, but no one answered.

He hung up the phone in confusion: "The call was transferred to the voicemail. He is not at home... maybe he is on his way! How about this..."

As he said that, he suggested: "Let's get started! It's getting late now. Mr. Xu Lian and I will go prepare dinner. Miss Suzuki, you and your classmates, go make your beds first! I have prepared two guest rooms for you, so that you and your female classmates can have one room, and your male classmates can have another room."

"I see."

Although it's okay for three people to live together, there are so many strangers here, so it's better not to do anything immoral in public.

Lin Xiao came to the guest room. He was the only one there. Xiaolan and Yuanzi were making the bed next door.

He was thinking about Qianying's affairs and the purpose of Qianying's coming here! It couldn't be that Qianying was really a magic fan and only came here to party with people of the same interest.

Just as he had finished packing and sat down, Yuanzi came running over in a hurry.

"It's not good, it's not good..."

"What's wrong, Sonoko? Why are you so flustered?"

"The escape king of the chat group is online."

"Is he unable to come?"

"no."

Yuanzi pointed at the phone and motioned Lin Xiao to look at it.

The Escape King left a message: "I am already dead. I am the first one. The murderer is the Shadow Mage."

The victim and the murderer happened to be the two people who were not present at the party today!

"Prank?"

"I do not know?"

Just when the two were unable to determine the truth, the Shadow Mage in the chat group responded to the Escape King.

The Shadow Mage left a message: "I have burned the suspension bridge. None of you can escape!"

Just after Shadow Mage left the message, everyone in the villa was terrified.

They all ran out of the villa to check the condition of the suspension bridge, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

Everyone gathered together and condemned the actions of the Escape King and Shadow Mage.

Araki said indignantly, "This isn't even a prank! What on earth do these two bastards want to do?"

"Forget it, ignore them. They are just playing tricks." Kuroda Naoko obviously didn't take what the two said in the chat group seriously.

Hamano Toshiya said, "Let's start the activities as usual."

Tanaka Takahisa said: "The first activity is to discuss 'favorite magician'."

Araki Yoshinori was the first to speak: "My favorite magician is Kuroba Touichi!"

After these words were spoken, everyone else reacted normally, but Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Qianying.

Qianying was only slightly surprised, and she just realized that someone was staring at her. She looked over and saw that it was Lin Xiao.

"Mr. Lin, what are you looking at me for?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious about the magician that Ms. Qianying likes."

"The magician of silver wings——Kaito Kidd."

"Aren't Kaito Kid and Kuroba Toichi the same person?" Lin Xiao found it a little funny.

Xiaolan and Sonoko looked at each other in bewilderment: "Wait a minute, Xiaojun, isn't Kaito Kuroba Kaito?"

Lin Xiao said: "Kuroba Toichi is the first generation of Kaito Kidd, and Kuroba Kaito is the second generation of Kaito Kidd."

When the clever Xiaolan and Sonoko heard this, they realized that the father and son were both thieves.

Qianying's face turned pale, and she stared at Lin Xiao and said, "Mr. Lin, please stop talking nonsense."

The other four magicians stared with wide eyes: "Mr. Lin, this is fake."

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Whether it's true or not, I have no evidence."
