Conan: The Heart Thief

"Lianzi, I want to hear you sing——"

"Hmm? What song do you want to hear?"

"Messiah, I want to hear Messiah."

Messiah is another name for Jesus Christ. The word Messiah comes from the Hebrew word māshīah, which originally means "the anointed one". It is translated into christos in Greek, from which "Christ" is derived. Therefore, "Messiah" is "Christ". Christianity refers to Jesus as "Christ", which is equivalent to "Messiah" in the New Testament.

"Messiah" is a piece of music that includes the Old and New Testaments, focusing on spirituality and thinking about the Savior "Messiah". It is about the birth, suffering, and resurrection of Christ, but it has no storyline and is narrated in an indirect and symbolic way. It can be said to be the most sung oratorio in the world and is also a sacred music familiar to Christians.

Reiko Akiba sang loudly toward the sea, her voice was like the sound of nature, vigorous and beautiful...

While Reiko Akitaba was singing, Lin Xiao stood behind her and made a fool of herself. Soon, Reiko Akitaba could no longer sing, and could only mutter incoherently, as if she had been bewitched by the devil Satan.

The beach of the Azure Island is neither big nor small.

Lin Xiao and Akitani Reiko were by the sea, under the coconut trees, on the rocks... listening to the sound of the sea crying.

This sea is too sentimental, crying till dawn...

In the evening, Reiko Akiba went crazy on the beach of Ganbi Island for a whole day and was too tired to walk. It was Lin Xiao who carried her back to the hotel on Ganbi Island.

"Today is the last day. We will return to Tokyo tomorrow. I want to have a good rest at night." said Reiko Akiba.

"Okay, let's take a rest. I'll listen to you." Lin Xiao obeyed Qiu Ting Lianzi in everything.

Reiko Akitani felt that Lin Xiao was like a little puppy clinging to him, and she was delighted.

"I envy Xiao Qian so much. I also want to get married. You know, I'm not young anymore." Akiba Reiko suddenly had an idea. "Why not get married when we get back? We don't have to wait until you graduate."

Lin Xiao quickly said, "If Lianzi gets married suddenly, it will be very bad for work... You also have to consider your work. I dare not delay you as a singer. I will blame myself."

Reiko Akita thought about it and said: "That's right, you still have school to attend to."

She is a sensible woman who won't do anything impulsive.

"Since we can't get married now, can we try playing the wedding game?"

"Eh...? Now?"

"Yes. Now, and here. Just think of it as a rehearsal for our wedding."

"Okay..." Lin Xiao saw the look in Qiu Ting Lianzi's eyes that was eager to get married, so he had no choice but to agree. To be honest, he couldn't marry any girl now. Once he got married, he would die miserably.

"Games...yes, playing games is fine. Be it a lie or an act, I want Xiaojun to express his feelings here."

“Hmm. Ah—. Ah—.”

She ignored Lin Xiao's answer and began to practice voice.

"Groom, Mr. Xiao, whether in sickness or in health, whether rich or poor, are you willing to respect and love me?"

"—I do."

Lin Xiao replied.

"In this world, Lianzi is the most important woman to me. No matter now or in the past, it will never change. So, I swear here: from now on, no matter what happens, no matter when, I will definitely move forward with Lianzi."

Reiko Akitani smiled happily, and her smile was so happy that it made Lin Xiao feel ashamed.

"Um-"

Then, Lin Xiao was kissed hard by Akitani Reiko.

Akita Reiko said shyly, "Am I a filthy girl? That's why you want to do bad things to me as soon as you see me. We are obviously not married, so this shouldn't happen."

"Hey, hey... wait a minute. What are you talking about? How vulgar and obscene... how could you be that kind of person?" Speaking of despicable people, Lin Xiao deserves the title.

"I've been there countless times today, but when I saw Xiao Qian getting married, I remembered that Xiao Qian had already spent her wedding night with her three husbands. Then, I also want to marry you, Xiao Jun, and spend our wedding night together..."

"This association is indeed a bit powerful, but it is definitely not obscene." Lin Xiao said seriously.

"Hey - I think I have to go back to work tomorrow, and we'll be separated. I really want to give up my job, marry you, and be with you every day..."

Lin Xiao's eyes widened. The angelic Akiba Reiko on the screen would say such embarrassing words. His heart was pounding, and he didn't know how to answer Akiba Reiko.

"But besides love, work is equally important... Have a good rest tonight."

"Ah."

Reiko Qiu Ting lay in Lin Xiao's arms and soon fell asleep.

Lin Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was not an easy thing to date multiple girls at the same time.

After flying back to Tokyo, Lin Xiao separated from Reiko Akiba.

Lin Xiao came to school and listened to the teacher's lessons in the classroom absent-mindedly, recalling the madness he had with Akiba Reiko in the past few days. It was truly an unforgettable memory.

At noon, Lin Xiao quickly forgot about Akiba Reiko because Xiaolan and Sonoko were nearby. Besides, he also had a lovely disciple, Sera Masumi.

I was so happy every day that I didn't want to leave, it was like heaven.

As the Phantom Thief of Hearts, Lin Xiao gradually forgot his job of maintaining peace.

Xiaolan and Sonoko are silly and easy to deceive, but Sera Masumi is very smart.

"Master, you are spending less and less time in school. What are you doing? If you are here to solve the incident, why don't you take me with you?"

"I'm practicing... To become an excellent detective, I have to grow every day." Lin Xiao taught Sera Masumi like a detective grandmaster.

"Can you take me with you?"

"No, Masumi, you're not an official detective yet. You can't just skip classes. I can't take you with me."

"Humph. You're just making excuses on purpose."

Chapter 322: Okino Yoko's New Agent Yonehara Sakurako

Ever since Yamagishi Eiji went to prison, Yonehara Sakurako became Yoko Okino's new agent. The two have been working together happily for quite some time, and Yoko Okino's idol career has been becoming more and more prosperous.

Maori Detective Agency.

"Hello, hello, I'm Maori Kogoro..."

"What, it's Miss Sakurako!"

"Yeah... OK, I understand. I will definitely come."

After putting the mobile phone back into his pocket, Kogoro Mouri suddenly became energetic and smiled happily.

Xiaolan asked curiously: "Dad, what happened?"

Maori Kogoro said proudly: "It was Miss Yoko's agent who called. Yoko is filming a detective movie and specially recommended me to the director as a consultant. Now, she even invited me to a big dinner as a return gift for helping her solve the case last time."

Mao Lilan clasped her fists together, placed them on her chest, and said admiringly: "Dad, you are really amazing. You actually received an invitation from Miss Yoko."

Maori Kogoro took out a small mirror and a small comb from his pocket, and said while fixing his hair: "I can't help it. I'm a famous detective, and I've been overwhelmed with commissions lately..."

Mao Lilan asked expectantly: "Dad, can I go with you?"

Maori Kogoro nodded: "Of course, Miss Sakurako specifically asked me to take you and Lin Xiao with me..."

Mao Lilan said happily: "That's great."

Then, Maori Kogoro didn't know why he felt uncomfortable. Then, Maori Kogoro soon found the source of his discomfort - Lin Xiao. Maori Kogoro looked at Lin Xiao unhappily and said, "Lin Xiao, you are dating my daughter now, don't have any ideas about Miss Yoko!"

After hearing what Mao Lilan said, her fair face turned red with shame and she scolded him, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about again? How could Lin Xiao possibly have any intention of hitting on Miss Yoko? Miss Yoko is an idol!"

Maori Kogoro thought about it and it made sense. He murmured, "I'm really stupid. Why am I saying all this to a young boy like Lin Xiao? Oh... it seems I'm still not used to his annoying face." Maori Kogoro was very jealous of Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao had always had a good relationship with his ex-wife and her best friend. Although having a good relationship didn't mean anything, it just made him very unhappy.

Xiaolan said shyly to Lin Xiao: "Lin Xiao, don't take my father's words to heart."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay. I have learned a lot of useful things from following your father, the great detective. I am very happy."

Then, Maori Kogoro waved to a taxi not far away, and the three of them took a taxi to a restaurant near the Beika Shrine. During this time, Conan, who was watching the house at the office, also took a taxi. Xiaolan couldn't bear to see Conan hungry at home, so she called him to come over.

There were quite a few people at the dinner party. Through conversation, Lin Xiao learned that the main people involved in the filming were the following.

The popular multi-talented star, Yoko Okino.

An actor who calls himself a handsome guy, Shingo Nachi.

The crew's supervisor and director is Goto Taketoshi.

Director: Takeshi Kitano.

Crew member Mamegaki Taeko.

Also a member of the crew is Mamegaki Taeko's fiancé, Shimazaki Yuji.

Anzai Morio, a photographer with an annoying personality.

……

At dusk under the setting sun, at the Beika Shrine.

Yoko Okino was covered in blood, holding a dagger in her hand, looking at a man lying on the ground not far away with a look of horror. The man had been stabbed in the chest by a sharp weapon and fell to the ground with blood flowing out.

Bang!

"No way?"

The dagger slipped out of her hands, and Yoko Okino looked at the man lying on the ground in disbelief, and knelt on the ground weakly.

Yoko said to herself with tears in her eyes: "I obviously didn't want to kill him"

"do not want!"

As if thinking of the terrible consequences, Yoko Okino looked up and shouted in horror.

"Cut!" A sudden voice interrupted Yoko Okino's shout.

"Very good, there is no problem with this scene!"

The director in yellow stood outside the venue, waving the script in his hand happily and saying, "Yoko, you acted well!"

Looking at Okino Yoko who was there, Mao Li said to Lin Xiao beside him: "It seems like making a movie is very interesting, isn't it?"

"Well! Xiaolan, do you also want to make a movie like Miss Yoko?"

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded.

Director Kitano Takeshi, who was standing nearby, heard what Mao Lilan said and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Lan, if you want to make a TV series, how about I arrange it for you?"

"No, I'm just talking. If you really want me to film a TV series, I can't do it at all."

Mao Lilan waved her hands at Kitano Takeshi. She would find it interesting to watch others take photos, but she would be embarrassed to participate.
