Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 108 You still say you don’t know who the murderer is!
About five minutes later.

After Kaikata Gakuen High School, where Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji were, successfully won a victory, the ace player of Izumishin High School, Okita Souji, finally entered the field under the attention of everyone.

It must be said that Okita Souji is indeed very strong.

At least in the years that Xia He practiced kendo and participated in competitions, he had never seen a player of his level.

With just a few moves, he could easily hit the opponent's vital points and knock him out.

In fact, Xia He began to look forward to the challenges ahead.

"Hit the mark, blue team wins!" the referee announced, raising the flag in his hand.

After saying that, he immediately looked at the medical staff waiting inside and said, "Hurry up and carry the person to the infirmary."

In the audience, most of the people watching the game couldn't help but show expressions of surprise when they saw this scene.

Dizzy... fainted?
How strong is that boy?

It seems that among all the previous contestants, no one could beat him?
At the same time, Okita Souji took off his helmet and revealed his face.

Xia He cast his gaze over there, and after seeing the other person's appearance clearly, he suddenly couldn't hold it back.

Although I had heard of the joke "Kudo Shinichi has a common face" in my previous life, seeing someone who looks exactly like my friend in person... this feeling is really novel.

And there's more than one.

A Kuroba Kaito.

A Souji Okita.

Plus Kudo Shinichi.

The three of them share the same face, which means they are definitely triplets.

Xia He even had some doubts. When the three of them were born in the hospital, they were actually triplets, but later they were adopted by the Kudo couple, the Kuroba couple, and the Okita family...

If this is true, then the plot would be a little more exciting.

Although it would definitely be a bolt from the blue for Conan and Kaito.

But for Xia He, there is nothing more interesting than "eating melons" at the moment.

……

Very quickly, less than half an hour.

The halftime break had just ended and Hattori Heiji and Conan had already solved the case together.

It turned out that the "corpse" of Tarumi Atsushi did not disappear in the sports warehouse, but the murderer fed him alcohol containing sleeping pills, and then took advantage of his coma to paint him to make him look like he had been murdered.

When the witnesses ran to call an ambulance, the murderer woke up Tsuchimi Atsushi, tricked him into putting on a helmet and protective gear, and went to the swimming pool to wait for him.

Finally, he secretly rushed to the locker room of the swimming pool, picked up the real sword that the referee used to demonstrate sword drawing before the game, and killed Tsuchimiya Atsushi with one strike.

In this way, the case of "corpse moment" was created.

As for why the murderer wanted to kill Chujian Dushi...

The reason is simple.

The deceased, Atsushi Tarumi, had bullied a new member at a welcome party with several members of the kendo club. Tarumi Atsushi was so reckless that he beat the bullied new member to death on the spot.

Afterwards, in order to avoid taking responsibility, all the members of the kendo club who were present at the time gave false testimony for Tarumi Atsushi and characterized the incident as an accident.

Until some time ago, when Tarumi Atsushi, who was about to graduate, failed to find a job and, after drinking too much, threatened others and threatened to tell the police the truth of the matter, Otegawa Shun, one of the bullies, decided to kill him.

"That damn bastard... He can't find a job himself, so he doesn't want to make life easy for others! I have no choice. I can't let him hinder my future, so I thought of using this method..."

These were the last words spoken by Otegawa Jun before he was tortured away.

Similarly, several other accomplices who participated in the bullying-related death incident were also taken to the police station for investigation.

I think it won’t be long before the results of the investigation are announced. By then, not to mention finding a job, it might even be a problem whether I can graduate from Xinnei University.

"You also said you didn't know who the murderer was."

As soon as he sat in the audience seats, Conan immediately looked at Xia He with his half-moon eyes.

If he really didn't know, how could he have reminded them to pay attention to that little Tekawa Jun?
And because of Xia He's reminder, the two's reasoning this time was particularly smooth. After talking to each other, they found all the evidence in a short time. There was no "sleeping Kogoro" at all, and it saved Dr. Agasa an anesthetic needle...

"So, did you figure it out from the beginning? What was the part that made you see the problem?" Conan asked. "Um, well..."

Xia He curled his lips, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

After all, something like [Killing Intent Perception] is too mysterious. If I tell it to you, Conan will think that I am making up an excuse to make fun of him.

So, after thinking it over, he could only spread his hands and was forced to admit: "A trick of that level is full of flaws. Of course I saw it at a glance. Didn't you guys see it?"

Conan: "."

I don't know how many times the feeling of failure has come over me.

Looking at Xia He's extremely pretentious expression, Conan wanted to punch him, but at the same time, for the first time, he felt a little relieved.

Xia He is not a human being at all, but a complete monster!

So why should humans compare themselves with monsters?

Well, thinking about it this way makes me feel much better.

And just as Conan was comforting himself, Heiji and Okita Souji, under the guidance of the referee, had already started the final showdown between the two high schools.

……

In the original work, Hattori Heiji did not have time to catch up with the battle with Okita Souji.

Even after more than a thousand episodes, due to various unexpected obstacles, the two were still unable to complete the duel, which really whetted the audience's appetite and made people curious about who was better in kendo.

However, this time, with Xia He's intervention, the suspense will be revealed immediately.

Unlike the previous scene where the sword was killed in just a few hits, the two bamboo swords collided with each other in the ring with a snapping sound.

The graceful posture, smooth movements, and the whistling sound of the wind all indicate that the level of this battle is much higher than the previous matches.

"Come on, Heiji, defeat him!"

"Hattori Heiji!!!"

"Okita Okita!!!"

Students from both schools cheered.

Even Conan, who usually doesn't like watching this kind of competition, couldn't help but sigh after being dazzled: "So strong..."

"Xia He, who do you think will win?" He turned around and asked Xia He curiously.

"Well, the two of them should be on par with each other in terms of level, but Hattori Heiji is slightly more imposing than that guy named Okita Souji today." Xia He replied.

"Momentum?" Conan blinked.

"Maybe it's because there's someone he cares about at the scene."

The voice just fell.

The bamboo sword hit Okita Souji right on the forehead.

After nearly twenty minutes of fierce fighting, Hattori Heiji finally won the victory with great difficulty and won the qualification for Kaikata Gakuen High School to participate in the finals.

When cheers resounded in the gymnasium, Hattori Heiji immediately looked at the audience with sweat all over his forehead.

Conan, feeling Heiji's gaze, turned around and looked at Toyama Kazuha who was sitting next to Xia He.

I see……

Don't you want to lose face in front of the girl you love?
It seems that Okita Souji lost this time because he doesn’t have a girlfriend!

He thought to himself with a look of sudden realization.

It’s Xia He.

He glanced at Okita Souji who was lying on the ground with resentment in his eyes.

He looked again at Hattori Heiji who was being lifted up by the members of the kendo club.

Somehow, he suddenly came up with a bold idea.
