Conan: The Heart Thief

Yuanzi and Xiaolan glared at Lin Xiao, drove him out of the kitchen, and then comforted Miss Qianying together.

After some communication, Qianying realized that Yuanzi and Xiaolan were both Lin Xiao's girlfriends.

Lin Xiao is such a scum of the world. He has two such lovely girlfriends, but he still treats his aunt badly. It's really too much.

"Lin Xiao, you forced me to do this. For the sake of the Heiyu family, I had no choice but to kill and silence the witness!"

……

later.

Everyone's tasks were basically completed, and they returned to the living room one after another.

The restaurant and kitchen had been cleaned up, and the evening snacks had been prepared, but there was no sign of Ara Yoshinori and Hamano Toshiya.

"There are still two people missing. Should I go and call them?" Lin Xiao asked.

"No need, Mr. Hamano is thinking about tonight's show! He is worried, and when he has made up his mind, he will come down by himself, so there is no need to look for him deliberately!" Kuroda Naoko, who was sitting at the dining table, laughed softly, "It seems that Mr. Ara Yoshinori went to the wine cellar to get wine for a long time..."

As soon as I said this, the door opened.

Huang Yize came in with a glass of wine, shivering all over: "The weather suddenly changed, it started snowing, it's really cold outside!"

He put down the bottle, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Escape King and the Shadow Mage haven't come yet!"

"Yeah! I guess they can't come tonight!" Kuroda Naoko shook her head, half jokingly, "But those two have never gotten along. Who knows, they might meet somewhere and start a fight!"

"Eh? What's the discord?" Sonoko asked. She was also a member of the magic group, how could she not know?

Naoko Kuroda explained casually: "It was because of a quarrel about magic, which is not a big deal. Let's not talk about it. Shadow Master is a different matter and we don't need to worry about him. But, Mr. Ara Yoshinori, don't you need to confirm the King of Escape? Logically speaking, the person who is least likely to break the appointment is him, and he is the initiator of the party!"

"That's true!" Huang Yize nodded and was about to make a phone call.

"No need to call, the Escape King can't come!" Lin Xiao suddenly said.

"Eh?" In an instant, everyone looked at Lin Xiao.

"The shadow wizard in the magic group has killed the escape king and burned the suspension bridge."

"Eh? Isn't this a joke?" Naoko Kurono was puzzled.

"That's what I mean." Tanaka Takahisa agreed.

"Look out the window..." Lin Xiao pointed outside the window with a serious face.

When everyone looked over, they saw fire outside the window.

"The fire is coming from the direction of the suspension bridge. What's going on?"

Araki Yoshi rushed out immediately and found that the suspension bridge had been burned down. When the others arrived later, they realized that Shadow Mage and Escape King were not joking. Escape King said that he had been killed, and he really was killed. Shadow Mage said that he killed Escape King, and he really killed Escape King!

Chapter 281 The Phantom Thief of Hearts Disdains Threats

Everyone returned to the villa in panic. What was supposed to be a happy magic party turned into a panic-stricken place.

When everyone returned to the villa, Hamano Toshiya still did not show up.

Araki Yoshi said at this time: "No matter what, let's first tell Mr. Hamano about the burning of the suspension bridge and the killing of the escaped king by the shadow wizard!"

"That's right!" Miss Kuroda thought so too.

"It's time to ask Mr. Hamano to come down!" Miss Tanaka agreed.

The three of them immediately went upstairs to find Hamano Toshiya, and the other four followed.

At the door of Hamano Toshiya's room.

"Dong dong dong————"

Huang Yi was knocking on the door, and the others looked quite suspicious.

Lin Xiao sensed danger and reminded Xiaolan and Yuanzi: "You two should stay together, especially Xiaolan, you should protect Yuanzi."

"Okay." Xiaolan nodded solemnly.

"Why should Xiaolan protect me, and not me protecting Xiaolan?" Yuanzi was not convinced, but was ignored by Lin Xiao.

"Boom boom boom!"

Huang Yize had been knocking on the door for a while, but there was no response from inside.

He said loudly: "Mr. Hamano, I have something to tell you. If you don't respond to me, I will come in by myself!"

After saying that, he opened the door directly, only to find that the house was empty.

"Hey, Mr. Hamano isn't in the room! Did he go to the bathroom?"

He immediately turned around and said to the people behind him: "I'll go to the bathroom to check."

Suddenly, Qianying pointed at the window inside the house and said, "It's so cold outside, why are all the windows on Mr. Hamano's balcony open?"

Araki Yoshizawa's face changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but walk towards the balcony first, muttering: "Mr. Hamano, could it be... that he accidentally fell down!"

He went to the balcony and looked down, only to see a vast expanse of snow. He heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is no one down there! Mr. Hamano should be in the bathroom! I'll go check!"

However, at this time, Lin Xiao's voice rang out: "Mr. Hamano, over there!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Xiao, and then they looked in the direction of Lin Xiao's finger.

For a moment, everyone gasped and was unable to utter a sound.

It was Chikage who reacted first and exclaimed: "Mr. Hamano is lying there! Is this a magic trick?"

"No! Something happened to Mr. Hamano!"

Huang Yizhe immediately made a judgment. After saying that, he immediately ran out.

Qianying also chased after her. Lin Xiao saw Xiaolan and Yuanzi also wanted to follow, so he stopped the two girls.

"It's cold outside, so you guys should stay out. I'll go."

After saying that, Lin Xiao directly climbed through the window and came out of the villa. He immediately became the first person to arrive at the scene of Hamano Toshiya's accident.

Lin Xiao sniffed Hamano Toshiya's breath and found that Hamano Toshiya was already dead.

He turned around and stopped the others from approaching: "You are not allowed to take another step forward! Mr. Hamano is already dead, and you will only destroy the scene if you come over!"

Others who wanted to check on Hamano Toshiya all paused.

Araki Yoshi asked in horror: "Detective Lin...you said this is the scene of Mr. Hamano's death. In other words, Mr. Hamano's death was not an accident, but murder."

"Yes. There are no footprints around Mr. Hamano's body! If Hamano Toshiya walked here by himself, where are his footprints? You know, the snow stopped today when we returned to the villa. Hamano Toshiya was murdered, and the murderer in this case completed a murder that would be impossible without wings!"

"What!!!" Everyone else was stunned. This impossible murder was even more incredible than magic!

"It's really incredible that the deceased was placed in this place without leaving any footprints! Let's go back and wait for the police to arrive."

Lin Xiao glanced at Tanaka Takahisa behind the crowd with a meaningful look in his eyes.

After returning to the villa.

Qianying couldn't help but get close to Lin Xiao and asked, "Detective Lin, have you found anything?" She was very curious whether Lin Xiao was really as powerful as the legend said. After all, he was the man who defeated her son.

Lin Xiao replied calmly: "Well! From my analysis of the body, the deceased was strangled to death with a thin rope or something like that. As for the murderer..."

Lin Xiao suddenly paused and looked around at everyone's expressions with a hint of hidden mockery.

Yuanzi and Xiaolan were only surprised for a moment, but they felt relieved because Lin Xiao was there.

"The murderer is among us!"

Lin Xiao's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and everyone felt insecure.

"Zun Du Fake Du!"

Qianying was not sure if Lin Xiao was deliberately bluffing or if it was really the case. Obviously, no one in the villa looked like the murderer.

"Wait...you said villa...you mean the murderer is among us? After all, there is no one else here!"

Naoko Kuroda gasped in horror.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the others changed drastically, and they subconsciously looked at Lin Xiao, their eyes full of inquiry, and of course, vigilance towards their companions.

Mr. Xu Lian, who had been silent, said: "The murderer should not be one of us!"

Everyone subconsciously looked towards Mr. Xu Lian.

Mr. Xu Lian said in a deep voice: "Have you forgotten the only member of the Magic Fans' Union who has not yet arrived and is still alive, the one called Shadow Mage!"

"Yes! Shadow Master said in the group that he killed the Escape King, and also said that he would kill again! Mr. Hamano was killed, which just fulfilled Shadow Master's words." Kuroda Naoko looked panicked and frightened.

Tanaka Takahisa was also terrified: "What should we do? I don't know where the Shadow Mage is hiding now? The suspension bridge has been burned down. Will we all be killed one by one by the Shadow Mage?"

In an instant, a gust of cold wind blew through the bodies of Huang Yize and others, and blew all the way to their hearts, making them feel chilly!

Lin Xiao did not comment, his face calm: "Anyway, let's get together and wait for the police to come. However, this place is remote, and it will take some time for the police to arrive."

At night, around ten o'clock.

Everyone gathered in the living room in panic. After all, there was an unknown murderer lurking in the villa, and no one dared to go back to the room to sleep for the time being. Besides, they couldn't sleep.

Lin Xiao did not seize the time to solve the case, but his eyes lingered on Qianying from time to time, secretly wondering how to make Qianying fall in love with him?

Although he could use threats to make Qianying submit, as a Phantom Thief, conquering a woman in this way instead of stealing her heart goes against his original intention.

As the Phantom Thief of Hearts chosen by the system, he never forgets his original intention and keeps his mission in mind!

He suddenly had an idea and said to Yuanzi, "Yuanzi, I think Miss Qianying is a little suspicious. I want to interrogate her in private. Tell her to go make some coffee together and send her out alone!"

When Yuanzi heard this, she immediately became nervous, and then she was startled again, fearing that her nervousness would be exposed! However, after noticing Lin Xiao's big hand on her leg, she immediately blushed, half-real and half-false, and lowered her head slightly, pretending to be shy when talking to her boyfriend.

Qianying did look at Yuanzi and Lin with curiosity, but when she saw Yuanzi blushing, she thought they were whispering and didn't take it seriously. She just complained in her heart that it was already too late, and a detective didn't seize the time to solve the case, but was still flirting with a couple.

Chapter 282 I Can't Do It

Araki Yoshino sighed and said, "Everyone in the group is a fan of magic, so we would discuss magic routines on the computer. About half a year ago, we were discussing an old escape show. It was a performance by a young magician who was once known as the Japanese Escape King!"

"Hey, is that the Chunjing magician who died in a performance accident last month?" Xiaolan suddenly interrupted.

"right!"

Araki Yoshi nodded: "The discussion was very intense at the time, and we hoped that someone could actually perform such a difficult magic trick!"

Unexpectedly, last month, the old man died in an accident while performing that escape show!
