Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 114: Guns are fast, but people are even faster
"Well, as soon as the boss gives the order, we will rush up and surround that guy. Do you understand?" In the darkness, a man in his early thirties, holding a machete in his hand, said to the group of younger brothers behind him.

"I understand."

The younger brothers nodded when they heard this.

Then, one of them asked, "Brother Fujimura, does the treasure of the 'Golden King' that the boss mentioned really exist?"

"I don't know, but the boss has been looking for that thing for so many years, I think it must be true."

"Really? The treasure left by Toyotomi Hideyoshi must be a staggering amount of wealth, right?"

"I don't know if it's shocking or not, but the boss has promised me that once the treasure is found, he will give us a share. Then we can take the money abroad and we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives."

He has already made up his mind. Once he gets the money, he will go to live in China. He heard that the prices there are much lower than in Japan. He will first buy a property and then open a bath center... Wouldn't the future be happy?
Just as he was immersed in this wonderful fantasy, suddenly, three men who looked very young, each carrying a bamboo sword, swaggered in from outside the warehouse.

"Who?!"

The young man named Fujimura spoke.

Behind them, a group of younger brothers saw this and took out various controlled knives hidden at their waists and quickly surrounded Xia He and the other two.

"Wow, fifteen...there are more people than I thought." Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows.

After saying that, he looked at Xia He again: "I can do five at most at the same time, how about you?"

"I……"

Before Xia He could answer.

Snapped!
Okita Souji was the first to attack, slashing the wrist of one of the thugs with his sword.

The gangster let out a cry of pain, and the iron rod in his hand fell to the ground.

When the others saw this, they all picked up their weapons and rushed forward.

The battle then broke out on the first floor of the warehouse.

Xia He was too lazy to hide anymore, and he just thrust forward, tapping the man's throat with the tip of his sword as he rushed towards him.

A sharp pain came from his throat and the man fainted instantly.

The next second, Xia He suddenly exerted force with his legs, and his figure shuttled through the crowd like a ghost.

Every time he swung the sword, one or two thugs were knocked to the ground, and some fell into coma, or covered their joints and vital parts, wailing in pain.

In less than ten seconds, most of the fifteen armed men had fallen.

The same moment.

Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji, who had just knocked down one man each, were standing back to back. Seeing that Xia He was just as powerful as they had expected, he looked like a human, their confidence suddenly doubled.

"It seems that we are going to achieve great success this time."

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but mutter.

He didn't know whether after catching all these people, his father would still think that he was fooling around like before.

"Just surrender, you bastards!" Okita Souji swung his bamboo sword again.

however……

boom!
There was a gunshot.

The bullet that brushed against Okita Souji's cheek scared him so much that the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"You little brat, why aren't you acting so arrogant anymore?" Fujimura said angrily, holding a pistol.

Similarly, the thugs who were still able to move took out guns from their pockets and turned on the safety, and like Fujimura, pointed them directly at Xia He and the other two.

They originally didn't want to cause any casualties, but who knew Xia He would be so fierce.

Now that things have come to this, they have to vent their anger even if it means they have to bear blood debt.

"Damn it..." Looking at the black muzzle of the gun pointing at him, Hattori Heiji began to curse himself in his heart for being careless.

But at the moment when he felt extremely regretful, Xia He suddenly started to take off his coat in front of them. Hattori Heiji: “?”

Okita Souji: “?”

The gangsters: “?”

Boom!
There was a heavy thud as clothes fell to the ground.

Hearing the noise, Heiji and Souji both widened their eyes.

Then, the moment Xia He took off his pants, he disappeared from the spot in an instant with a "whoosh".

At a speed more than twice as fast as before...

The three thugs didn't even have the chance to pull the trigger. They just felt dizzy, and then Xia He had taken away their guns. They fell to the ground with their hands and feet dislocated.

Fujimura, the only one still standing, was almost frightened silly by the sight of this scene.

He quickly pulled the trigger, intending to kill this inhuman monster.

boom!
The bullet came out.

At the same time as the gunshot rang out, a football was shot from the air and hit Fujimura right on the side of his face.

In the darkness, the powerful shoes on Conan's feet flashed colorful light.

Fujimura's whole face swelled up, and then he fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back.

Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji both subconsciously turned their heads to look at Xia He.

They could tell that the shot just now was clearly fired at Xia He.

Sure enough, blood oozed from Xia He's shoulder.

Seeing this, the two of them hurried forward to check, but fortunately after checking, they determined that it was just a minor scratch, and they were slightly relieved.

But that shot just now...it looked like it would clearly hit Xia He.

Is there something wrong with my sight angle?

Hattori Heiji began to have doubts in his mind.

Conan walked up, helped Xia He pick up his clothes, and handed them to him.

Just as Xia He reached out to take it, a large group of policemen rushed in from outside the warehouse, each holding an explosion-proof shield, and surrounded the four of them again.

……

"So, you knew this would happen?"

Outside the warehouse, Hattori Heiji glanced at the gangsters who were carried into the ambulance one after another, then looked at his father and asked angrily, "So you slapped me before and said that what I did was nonsense, just to irritate me so that I would take the initiative to go into danger?"

"That's right." Hattori Heizo nodded without hiding anything, "But I didn't expect that you could find their meeting place so quickly."

"The old man just now..."

"Oh, you mean Zaowu Youhong? He is also one of the murderers. The charred body we found in the Neishuhongdao thirteen years ago was done by him."

The true identity of this charred corpse is the other current murderer - Wakisaka Shigehiko's grandfather.

The reason why Wakisaka Shigehiko created multiple self-immolation incidents in succession was to avenge his grandfather and make those murderers who wanted to get the treasure of the "Golden King" and brutally killed his grandfather pay with their lives one by one.

"I see……"

Were the two dead tourists and this old man named Kusaya Arihiro all accomplices who tried to find the treasure with Wakisaka Shigehiko's grandfather?
But for some unknown reason, the three of them acted ruthlessly together and burned their companion into a charred corpse.

"But I have another question." Hattori Heizo continued, "Were all those thugs in the warehouse taken down by the three of you? You know, several of them were carrying guns. How did you do it?"

"Well..."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji subconsciously turned his head to look at Xia He who was standing next to the ambulance and letting the nurse bandage his wound. "Regarding this question, I think it would be better for you to ask that guy in person."
