Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 107 Do you know who the murderer is?

Osaka.

As Xia He had expected, when he and Maori Kogoro and his party arrived at the Naniwa Central Gymnasium, a murder had already occurred in the annex.

A member of Shinnai University's Kendo Club, Tarumi Atsushi, was murdered.

The body was first found in the sports warehouse of the annex. Then when the witnesses rushed out of the annex to ask people to help call the police and emergency numbers, the body suddenly disappeared and appeared in the locker room of the swimming pool half an hour later.

So, how did the murderer manage to move the body into the locker room without being seen by anyone?

Hattori Heiji was very puzzled by this.

After learning the details of the case, Conan immediately assisted Heiji and started collecting clues at the scene.

As for Xia He...

He didn't seem to be willing to help at all.

After all, these two have joined forces, so how can he have any room to perform?

What's more, he hasn't even watched this episode. Without knowing the plot, his speed in solving cases would at most be comparable to Conan's. In that case, why waste time on useless work?
"I'm going to go to the main hall to watch the game first. When you finish handling the cases here, remember to call me." So he said.

"Aren't you going to stay here and investigate the case with us?" Hattori Heiji looked at Xia He with a little surprise.

Conan was not surprised to see this and explained for him: "He never likes to stay at the crime scene. Most of the cases he solved before were just by chance. He was forced to stay as a suspect or witness."

"That's it..."

Hattori Heiji nodded upon hearing this.

Because I don't like staying at the crime scene, I just find clues in the shortest time and catch the criminal...

Is this the reason why Xia He solves cases so quickly?
he thought to himself.

Xiaolan, who was standing by, looked at Conan with a suspicious look, "You and Xia He, are very familiar with each other?"

"Of course, we've been together since childhood..." Conan blurted out, but halfway through his words, he immediately reacted and quickly changed the subject: "Xia He and his brother have watched me grow up since I was a child, so it's natural that we're familiar with each other, haha...hahahaha."

"Really? I heard you say before that you and Xiahe are distant relatives, and I thought you had rarely met each other." Hattori Heiji rubbed Conan's head with a sly smile, "I didn't expect that your relationship is so good."

"Hehe." Conan laughed awkwardly, with an expression that said "I'll kill you if you dare to say any more", which really made Xia He find it funny.

"But by the way, do you know who the murderer is?" Hattori Heiji looked at Xia He again.

"I don't know." Xia He shook his head.

murderer?

How could he know who the murderer was?

All he knew was that a murder would happen in the gymnasium, nothing else.

He wasn't even sure who was dead.

There are more than a thousand episodes of the animation, but he has only watched no more than six hundred episodes on TV, and he has only glanced at some of them.

Therefore, [Photographic Memory] can help him recall the details of most cases, but it cannot help him calculate the content that he has never seen.

"Don't you know? I thought you could solve the case just by taking a quick glance." Hattori Heiji said seriously.

Xia He: "."

"But I suggest you focus on the man named Otegawa Jun."

Otegawa Jun, the deceased's college classmate and also a member of the kendo club, had an oval face, a sharp chin, and a cold look in his eyes. Xia He naturally didn't know this guy.

The reason why he asked Hattori Heiji to pay attention to the other person was simply because he felt a strong murderous aura from this person.

"Is that Jun Kotegawa?"

However, Hattori Heiji and Conan, who heard this, took it as a hint from Xia He, and subconsciously began to lean their reasoning towards Otegawa Shun.

……

The main stadium.

Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji's mother, Hattori Shizuka, were sitting side by side in the audience seats, watching the game between Kaikata High School and Izumishin High School.

"Come on! As long as we win this game, we can successfully enter the finals!" Just like Sonoko did when she cheered for Xiaolan, Toyama Kazuha put his hands in front of his mouth, made a trumpet shape, and cheered loudly for his school.

"But why haven't we seen Heiji appear yet?" Hattori Shizuka, who was already a little sleepy from waiting, couldn't help yawning.

"Auntie, don't you know? A murder case happened in the annex, and Heiji is helping to solve the case." Toyama Kazuha said.

"Murder?"

Toyama Kazuha nodded and said confidently, "Well, don't worry. Heiji just called me and said that Xiahe has also arrived at the scene. As long as Xiahe is there, I believe that Heiji will not need to use his brain most of the time, and the case will be solved quickly."

It wasn't just that first impression she had in Hokkaido when she was a child. Later, influenced by Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha also loved to search for stories about Natsuhe on the Internet when she had nothing to do.

The more she got to know him, the more she felt that Xia He was so "perverted" that it was a bit exaggerated.

Not only is his study, martial arts, appearance, and family background impeccable, he is also top-notch in solving cases.

This can be seen from the fact that he was already quite famous in the Kanto region when he was in elementary school.

Not to mention that recently, since Kudo Shinichi "disappeared", Xia He has already shown a tendency to become the new "police savior"...

Comparing the two, the big idiot who only knows kendo and reasoning but can't even guess his own thoughts is not even a hair better than Xia He!
she thought to herself.

at the same time.

"Hello, is it convenient for me to sit next to you?" A tall and handsome boy came over and looked at her with a smile.

"Xia He?"

Yuanshan and Ye were stunned for a moment, "Didn't you help Heiji solve the case in the annex?"

"That case is very simple. With Heiji and Uncle Mori here, I'm of no use at all." Xia He said.

"Is Uncle Mori here? We should be able to solve the case before the end of the game..."

Toyama Kazuha first muttered something to herself, and then began to introduce Xia He to Hattori Shizuka.

"Xia He, do you like kendo too?" asked Hattori Shizuka.

"I've done some research." Xia He replied modestly.

But Yuanshan Heye began to explain: "He is the champion of the Kanto Youth Competition. Although he has never participated in adult competitions, his kendo skills should not be underestimated."

"So who's better, you or Heiji?"

"It's hard to say. I haven't seen any competition between them."

Although in other martial arts, Heiji is basically no match for Xia He, but in kendo... it is likely that they are equally matched, right?
Yuanshan Heye thought to himself.
