Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 115 Investigating Judy
Bursting out at full speed, Xia He Huanzhen dodged the bullet fired from the pistol at a distance of about five meters.

Although his shoulder was slightly scratched and bleeding, it proved that he was at least as fast as Kyogoku Makoto.

"So, all those people in the warehouse were taken down by you alone?"

At the Osaka Police Station, Hattori Heizo, the chief of police, personally took Xia He's statement.

"To be precise, it is the result of a joint effort by the three of us: Hattori Heiji, Okita Souji," Xia He replied.

"But Heiji said that he only knocked out one of the thugs. Most of the others, especially those with guns... were all killed by you alone."

"Uh, I did it, but is there a problem with that?"

"No problem. I just feel a little sad that it's a shame for someone like you not to be a police officer."

"you flatter me."

Be a policeman?
The money he earned from selling milk tea in a month was a hundred times the salary of a policeman, and he didn't have to risk his life. Given this comparison, unless the system said that all tasks in the future could only be triggered as a policeman, Xia He really couldn't think of any reason to work as a policeman.

"By the way, how did you know that Kusaya Yuhong would be the murderer's next target?"

After discussing the topic of fighting, Hattori Heizo officially began to take notes.

……

It was already midnight when I came out of the police station after taking the statement.

Xia He bought some food from a roadside stall and sat alone at the dining table. At the same time, he began to recall and summarize the information that Hattori Heizo had just revealed.

Arihiro Kusaya, the old man in his sixties, was the main culprit who killed Shigehiko Wakisaka's grandfather thirteen years ago. He even took the initiative to suggest burning the body to avoid leaving any evidence.

The reason why they committed such a cruel act against their former friend was because the other party wanted to hand over the scroll with the information about the treasure of the "Golden King" to the Japanese government in order to cut off their financial resources. This led to the murderous intentions of Arihiro Kusaya, Maho Katagiri, and Yuji Kato.

So why did Wakisaka Shigehiko's grandfather suddenly want to give up the treasure and hand over the scroll to the country?
It’s not because he is so patriotic.

Instead, he accidentally discovered that the treasure recorded on the scroll did not actually exist at all.

That was just a joke left by the thief named "Assist" who sneaked into the Jinming Well in order to get Toyotomi Hideyoshi's gold.

After learning the truth, the old man couldn't bear to disappoint his companions who were looking for treasure with him, so he came up with this solution.

Who knew that he would end up with a torn corpse...

It's really sad.

After spending most of my life searching for that illusory treasure, I ended up with nothing.

"Why are humans so greedy?"

Xia He didn't quite understand.

After all, he has always believed that as long as there is enough money to spend, it's enough. Even if all his own industries are registered under the Suzuki Group, so that the development is greatly restricted, he still doesn't care.

As long as he and the people around him can live healthy and long lives, Xia He will be very satisfied.

he thought to himself.

Then he picked up a cheese hot dog and was about to put it in his mouth, but was suddenly snatched away by Okita Souji. "Hmm~ It's so hot!" Okita Souji took a bite of the hot dog without hesitation, and exhaled wildly with his mouth open.

"Boss, two more servings of Okonomiyaki, thank you." Hattori Heiji and Conan, along with Okita Souji, sat down at the dining table one after another.

"You three..." Xia He blinked in a daze.

It turned out that after handing the transcript to Xia He, the three did not leave, but sat in the convenience store outside the police station and waited until now.

"You will be going back tomorrow, so it's perfect for us to get together for a midnight snack," said Hattori Heiji.

"Should I treat you?" Xia He asked.

"This meal is on me." Hattori Heiji grinned. Because he was facing away from the light and his skin was too dark, his white teeth were particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

"Just consider it a thank you for saving both of our lives in the warehouse."

Not to mention, if it were just him and Okita Souji facing that group of armed thugs, the chance of their survival would probably not be more than 30%.

"You're repaying me for saving your life with just this little snack? Your lives are too worthless." Xia He complained with a smile.

"Haha, next time I travel to Tokyo, I'll treat you to a big meal. I promise it will be even more luxurious than the one you treated me today."

……

As expected, the video of Xia He and the other two sparring under the Osaka Castle tower was uploaded to the Internet.

His miraculous swordsmanship, explosive speed, and beautiful movements undoubtedly attracted the attention of many netizens, making Xia He's fame rise even higher.

Similarly, after netizens recognized that Souji Okita was the ace player of the Izumi Shin High School Kendo Club who had recently won the Kendo Championship, they began to discuss with great curiosity what level Xia He's Kendo skills had reached.

Xia Hezi didn't care much about this.

After all, every time he went out, he would basically encounter fans who would come up to him and ask for his autograph.

He doesn’t really care about popularity or anything like that, unless one day he really can’t afford to eat and needs to sell goods to make money.

From Osaka, I returned to Beika-cho in Tokyo and continued my life of starting a new life with three points: home, milk tea shop, and Dr. Agasa's laboratory.

Until half a month later.

Because Conan suspected that Teacher Judy was a member of the Black Organization, Hattori Heiji flew to Tokyo to help Conan with the investigation.

I have to say, Conan is indeed quite capable.

Not only did he come to the conclusion that the popular actress Chris Wynyard was most likely a member of the winery through the incident at the Haido Hotel, he also anticipated that the other party was most likely to have used disguise and was lurking beside Haibara Ai.

Therefore, Judy Starling, who was also a foreigner with blonde hair, naturally became his main suspect.

Conan originally wanted Xia He to go to Teacher Judy's house with him to investigate, but then he thought that with Xia He around, he might become completely useless. So after much deliberation, he finally decided to call this Osaka Black Chicken.

"You have to remember that we came here today just to test her. Don't do anything out of the blue."

At the door of an apartment with the name "JodieSaintemillion" posted under the house number, Conan looked up at Hattori Heiji and gave him a serious warning.
