Conan: The Heart Thief

Chapter 343: Rena Mizunoshi: Don’t attack me at night!

The three of them finished their midnight snack and returned to the apartment. It was 10: pm. The night was getting late.

Xiao Ai was already nodding her little head sleepily.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao carried Xiao Ai into the guest room that Mizuno Rena had prepared for her in advance, and let her sleep comfortably.

Xiao Ai felt a little uneasy sleeping in a stranger's house.

Lin Xiao stayed with her in there for a while, but Xiao Ai couldn't resist the physiological reaction of her little body and gradually fell asleep.

When Lin Xiao came out, he closed the door tightly.

As soon as he came out, Lin Xiao saw Mizuno Rena sitting at the door sorting something.

"Ms. Reina, what are you doing?" Lin Xiao asked.

Mizunashi Reina looked up and replied: "Tomorrow is recycling day. Because of my work, I read a lot of newspapers and related books, so I can accumulate a lot in a week!"

"I'm free now, so I'll just sort out these old books and newspapers, tie them up and put them at the door so that I can take them directly to the garbage station tomorrow!"

"But it's already past ten o'clock, it's getting late, Reina, you still have to work tomorrow, you should go to bed early!"

Lin Xiao looked at his watch and said considerately, "Why don't you go back to bed? I'll help you clean up!"

"No, I can't sleep thinking about what's going to happen tomorrow morning!"

Mizuno Reina chuckled and shook her head, "And there aren't many left!"

Lin Xiao took a look after hearing that and thought that “not much” still looked like quite a lot, so he sat down and helped sort it out.

Seeing this, Mizuno Reina did not stop him. She just smiled gently at Lin Xiao and continued to work...

Soon, Mizuno Rena and Lin Xiao had almost finished sorting, and they were neatly stacked into a tall pile.

Lin Xiao looked around and saw a magazine left in front of the shoe cabinet.

He immediately reached out to the magazine... However, just when Lin Xiao was about to grab the magazine, a white and tender little hand grabbed it in advance. But the position was different from Lin Xiao's.

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed when he saw this, but he did not stop his movements. Instead, he slightly changed his body shape, moved his arm slightly, and grabbed the jade hand. The action and the thought came almost at the same time. So it was done in one go, without any signs of post-natal changes. Anyone who saw this action would think it was an accidental touch!

"Ah!" Mizuno Rena cried out. The two of them bumped into each other, mouth to mouth.

Mizuno Rena jumped away in panic, her ears turned red, and she was completely at a loss.

Lin Xiao apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Lian Na, I didn't mean it!"

Rena Mizunoshi looked embarrassed. Her first kiss was gone just like that. It was too ridiculous.

"I'm really sorry, why don't you kiss me back."

Mizuno Rena glared at Lin Xiao unhappily: "I know you didn't mean it. Forget it, as long as you can take care of Hondou Eisuke..."

"Hondou Eisuke again? Are you looking for me to solve the prank or for Hondou Eisuke?"

"Oh. These two things are very important!"

"I know, I will try my best."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Mizuno Reina's dissatisfaction instantly disappeared, and she smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's okay. I grabbed the magazine suddenly, it's okay!"

Mizuno Reina put the magazine away and said, "This is the last one! I've tied the rope!"

Lin Xiao pretended to look around, stood up, scratched his head, and smiled shyly at Mizuno Rena: "No more!"

"Pfft." Mizuno Rena chuckled and couldn't help but tease, "Lin Xiao seems to be very skilled at kissing. How many girls has he kissed?"

"Not much?"

"Humph. I never knew Detective Lin was such a playboy."

"Ms. Reina, stop talking about me. You are a Huadan host, you have so many suitors, how many boyfriends have you changed?"

"If I had a boyfriend, would I still ask you for help?"

"Ahaha. Same."

Lin Xiao seemed unable to bear Mizuno Rena's teasing look, and hurriedly picked up the pile of waste and asked: "You want to put it outside the door, right?" Then he walked out in a hurry.

"Yes! My house is the last one on this floor, and it's just for one night, so it won't delay other families. We can just put it outside!" Mizuno Rena followed behind with a serious tone.

After Lin Xiao left, he placed the pile of waste in front of the door, so that it would be easier to pick it up tomorrow...

"Eh? Wait..." Lin Xiao just put down the waste and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He turned around and asked Mizunashi Reina, "Ms. Reina, is Tuesday also your garbage collection day?"

"yes!"

Mizunashi Reina nodded in confusion and said, "It's just that on Tuesdays, combustible garbage is collected, but I have too many newspapers, so there will be a pile like this then!"

Mizuno Reina looked at Lin Xiao who seemed to be thinking about something, and couldn't help but ask: "Lin Xiao, what's wrong with you? Did you think of something?"

"yes!"

Lin Xiao smiled mysteriously.

In just a moment, he had completely understood the case through analysis and memory.

So at this moment, he smiled confidently and said to Mizuno Reina with certainty: "Reina, tomorrow I will definitely let you see the true face of your fan!"

"fan?"

Mizuno Rena looked a little tangled. Could it be that the person who did those things was really a stalker incarnated by a crazy fan? But if you look at Lin Xiao's expression, it seems that the person is not a bad person! As a mature intelligence officer, Mizuno Rena analyzed this facial expression very easily! So, she was even more confused. But looking at Lin Xiao's "master" image, she inexplicably didn't want to break it. She felt funny in her heart, and there was an inexplicable emotion! It was a feeling she hadn't had in many years.

After paying close attention, Mizunashi Rena suddenly realized that she was actually relaxed. She had been a spy in that evil organization for so many years, walking on thin ice. She actually felt relaxed with a boy she had just met not long ago... What a pleasant thing!

Mizuno Reina smiled relaxedly: "Okay! I'll wait and see tomorrow morning!"

After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Mizuno Rena lay down on the sofa looking at Lin Xiao.

"Detective Lin, is it okay for you to sleep on the couch?"

"No problem. This way I can react anytime if something happens."

"You're really reassuring." Mizuno Rena felt at ease, but she changed the subject, "You won't attack me at night, will you?"

"Ms. Reina, who do you think I am? I am a serious detective." Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Wasn't this a reminder for him to raid at night? It was really a sting operation!

"I was just kidding. Hehe..."

Mizuno Rena blinked at Lin Xiao and smiled sweetly, which really fascinated Lin Xiao.

Chapter 344 The Birth of New Rye

The next morning. The sun was rising. Lin Xiao and Mizuno Rena were already waiting at the door, dressed neatly, waiting to rush out the moment the doorbell rang.

At this time, during the waiting time.

Lin Xiao looked at the dark circles under Mizuno Reina's eyes and couldn't help but said helplessly: "Reina, you slept late last night! I told you to go to bed early!"

"I want to sleep, too! But I can't fall asleep because I'm thinking about things!" Mizuno Rena's tone was intimate. It was obvious that after one night of contact, she and Lin Xiao had become very close. She then thought of something else and hesitated: "How about I go and prepare breakfast! Otherwise, Xiao Ai will be hungry when she wakes up. Anyway... I'm completely relieved to leave this place to you!" As she said that, she wanted to leave.

Lin Xiao grabbed her and said with a smile: "I told you, there's no need to go through so much trouble. It's almost half past six now, and the criminal will be here soon. After we solve the problem, we can just eat something!"

"Okay then!" Mizuno Rena sighed in her heart. She had never met someone who cared so much about her.

Lin Xiao arrived at the door and waited on time, and it didn't take long before the doorbell rang.

“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”

In the quiet air, the sound of the doorbell suddenly rang very clearly.

The moment he heard the sound, Lin Xiao took the lead and pushed open the door.

Mizuno Rena also rushed out anxiously, wanting to see who had been causing trouble for her during this period! However, when she saw the door, she was stunned! "No one" Mizuno Rena opened her mouth in surprise. How could there be no one again! But fortunately, there was a camera, so she could definitely capture the person's face.

So, Mizuno Rena reminded Lin Xiao: "Lin Xiao, hurry up, let's check the surveillance! We will definitely catch him this time!"

It's just that... Lin Xiao was putting his hands in his pockets at this moment, looking at Mizuno Reina with a smile, and said in a brisk voice: "Ms. Reina, there is no need to watch the surveillance, because we have already caught him!"

"Eh?"

Mizuno Rena was stunned when she heard this.

"I caught you! Where?"

The corridor was clearly empty, and Mizuno Reina looked bewildered. Lin Xiao came to the corridor fence, leaned on the fence, and pointed to his side: "Isn't it here?"

Mizuno Rena had a strange expression on her face and walked over.

When Mizuno Rena followed Lin Xiao's finger and looked at the back of the waste... she was completely stunned!

There is actually a child hiding behind this waste!

Therefore, Mizuno Rena exclaimed in surprise: "The person who has been harassing me for so long turned out to be a child." She looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief.

Lin Xiao did not explain, but instead said to the child: "Explain it to your idol sister yourself."

The little child looked at Lin Xiao with fear on his face, then looked at the idol sister who had a bad look on her face. He didn't dare to speak, and his big eyes were filled with tears out of fear.

Lin Xiao spoke again: "Little ghost, do you know that your behavior during this period has caused a lot of trouble to your idol sister? She has always thought that some bad guy is following her. In order to prevent her from being frightened, don't you need to explain your behavior?"

"what----"

When the child heard what Lin Xiao said, he was immediately surprised and stretched out his baby voice. He looked at Mizuno Rena with guilt in his eyes and immediately explained anxiously: "No! I didn't mean to scare my sister, I just..."

"I just want to wake up my big sister!" the child said in a low voice, pointing his fingers.

"Wake...wake me up?" Rena Mizunoshi pointed at herself in confusion.

Then, she squatted down and asked in a gentle tone, "Why did you wake me up?"

"I……"

The little boy looked at the gentle big sister in front of him and couldn't help but pout.

He wanted to explain, and didn't want his elder sister to misunderstand him, but at this moment, the words were on his lips and he couldn't say them! He felt so wronged for a moment... tears as big as beans fell silently...

Seeing this, Mizuno Reina panicked, her beautiful eyes were blank, she...she didn't say anything, just asking, why did she cry? Mizuno Reina had never made a child cry before, and she was immediately in a panic.

She didn't dare to help wipe his tears, and could only anxiously say, "Hey, little brother, don't cry! If you have something to say, just talk to him nicely. If you really don't want to say it, you don't have to say it!"

"I...hiccup...no...I wanted to...hiccup...hiccup!"

Apparently, the more anxious the little boy tried to explain, the harder he cried. In the end, he kept hiccuping and couldn't say anything.
