Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 58 Chocolate

"Wow~! I've been looking forward to seeing the cake made by my aunt!"

Wakamatsu Toshihide happily picked up a plate of cake, scooped a piece with a spoon and put it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Yuanzi picked up a cup of coffee.

But before she could take a sip, Xia He reached out to stop her.

"Huh?" Yuanzi looked at Xia He strangely.

"Don't drink it, there's something wrong with this coffee." Xia He said.

Mrs. Minakawa frowned immediately upon hearing this, "Mr. Jiu Niang, what do you mean by this?"

"I don't mean anything else." Xia He shrugged his shoulders and pushed Yuanzi's cup of coffee directly in front of Mrs. Minakawa, "Do you dare to drink this coffee?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Mrs. Minagawa took the coffee cup and took a big sip without hesitation.

But just when she put down the cup and prepared to take a bite of the cake, she was stopped by Xia He, "There should be an antidote in this cake, right?"

"Antidote?" Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Xia He in confusion.

Only Mrs. Minagawa bit her lips and her expression became obviously panicked. "I don't understand what you are saying."

"Don't you understand? Then I'll explain it to you in full. You poisoned the coffee and put an antidote in the cake, with the intention of killing someone here who doesn't like sweets..."

"You are talking nonsense!" Mrs. Minakawa interrupted Xia He.

But Xia He obviously had no intention of letting her go. "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you just need to not eat a bite of cake within ten minutes to prove it. How about that?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Minakawa with a smile.

The room suddenly became silent.

Surprise, suspicion, confusion...all kinds of emotions filled the guests' faces.

Five minutes later, Mrs. Minagawa, who felt that she was beginning to feel unwell, finally began to repent, "I'm... I'm sorry! I shouldn't have poisoned you, please forgive me..."

Was it really poisoned?!
Everyone's eyes widened.

Katsuhiko Minagawa looked at his "mother" in disbelief.

"Call the police, Yuanzi." Xia He said to Yuanzi at this time.

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Yuanzi quickly took out his cell phone.

……

The reason why Mrs. Minagawa wanted to poison Katsuhiko Minagawa was actually very simple - to fight for the inheritance.

In fact, Katsuhiko Minagawa is not her biological child, but the child of her deceased brother. Although she raised the child since childhood, there is not much affection between the two.

So, when her husband's business failed and the family began to be in debt, in order to legally inherit her brother's estate, Mrs. Minagawa came up with the idea of ​​killing Katsuhiko Minagawa.

"Does this count as saving an innocent life?" Xia He sighed inwardly as he watched Mrs. Minagawa being taken away by the police.

He was brought here today by chance.

But if it were any other time, if the murderer did not pose any threat to him or the people around him, he would probably not care.

After all, so many people died in Beika Town in half a year, how could he possibly save them all?
"Brother Xia He, how did you know that Mrs. Minagawa poisoned the coffee?" Conan, who was extremely curious, ran to Xia He and asked.

Xia He then made up a lie: "Before applying the medicine, I went to the toilet first, and I saw it when I passed by the kitchen."

"I see..." Conan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia He with an expression that said, "Why don't I believe it?"

Kyogoku Makoto, on the other hand, came over awkwardly and thanked Xiahe, "Thank you, Sakuno Xiahe, you saved my life. I don't usually like cakes, but if I had really drunk coffee, it would have been a big trouble."

"You're welcome." Xia He waved his hands, thinking that with your physique, even if you really drank it, you probably wouldn't die. At most you would be taken to the hospital for gastric lavage.

"Thanks aside, if I really find out that you're cheating on me, I won't let you go!" Kyogoku Makoto glanced at Sonoko who was standing nearby, and whispered in Xia He's ear.

Xia He: "."

"Then I'll take my leave. I'll formally challenge you again when we meet next time."

After saying that, he walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and left quickly.

My goodness, Kyogoku Makoto said he won’t let me go…

Then I guess I'll die wherever I hide?

Xia He shook his head helplessly.

Not long after, Yoko Okino also came to say goodbye to Xia He and others.

Before leaving, she even gave Xia He a hug, which made Yuanzi, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but puff up her cheeks.

"Conan, let's go home too."

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiaolan took Conan's hand and said to Sonoko: "See you at school tomorrow."

"My driver will be here soon, don't you want me to take you there?" Sonoko said. "No, you two can go back together, Conan and I can take the bus."

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures, one big and one small, walked further and further away in the setting sun.

Xia He and Yuan Zi were left waiting on the roadside.

One of them was picking his fingernails and counting the ants on the ground with his head down, while the other one had his hands in his pockets and looked up at the branches above his head at a 45-degree angle. There was absolutely no intimacy between them that should be present between an "engaged couple".

It was not until five minutes later that Xia He took out the box of chocolates from his arms.

"Would you like to eat together?" he asked.

Yuanzi looked over when he heard this and said, "Isn't this the gift I gave you during the day?"

"Well, I wanted to save it for when I got home and eat it slowly, but it's a bit hot today and it seems to have melted..."

As he spoke, he lifted up his coat, and sure enough, the stain was particularly noticeable on the left side.

And Yuanzi looked at Xia He's embarrassed expression, and somehow, she just burst out laughing.

"Try it before it melts."

"it is good."

Xia He nodded, then tore open the package and took a small piece.

how to say……

As expected, a rich lady who has been pampered since childhood would naturally be lacking in this aspect.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Yuanzi asked expectantly.

Seeing this, Xia He, who was about to vomit, forced himself to hold it back.

"Okay."

"Really? Then let me try it."

"Don't!" Xia He quickly reached out and pressed Yuanzi's forehead.

Sonoko: “?”

"Um... I'm sorry, it's really because it's so delicious that I want to have it all to myself..." Xia He explained palely.

However, Yuanzi suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Look over there!"

Then, when Xia He turned his head away, she took a bite of the chocolate in his hand.

After chewing two or three times...

"Ugh, it tastes so bad!"

She vomited immediately.

However, as he was spitting, he couldn't help laughing.

A very bright smile.

Just like the cherry blossoms blooming in spring, delicate and gorgeous.

Xia He, who originally felt a little puzzled, couldn't help but smile as well.

……

A few days passed quickly.

Xia He is still busy decorating the store.

As for the work of advertising editing, it was left to the professionals he hired.

They estimate that the complete ad should be available on television in less than a month.

Although I don’t know what date it will be in a month…

But in short, as long as the passage of time is normal, the official launch of "Spring and Summer Milk Tea" will probably not be far away.

During this period, Conan often called and invited him to go out together, but Xia He rejected him righteously every time.

The reason is naturally that they don't want to be involved in the case.

It would be fine if it was killed quickly.

If he doesn't have time to kill, he will involuntarily want to save.

What if I save too many people and get into trouble?
After all, Shinichi has become Conan, so he naturally has to be careful in everything he does.

Just a few days ago, when he was on the set, he didn't even dare to eat the snacks given to him by others.

He was afraid that Yoko Okino's fans would dislike him and put cyanide or something in the food.
