Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 116 Letter from Taku Itakura

The two first searched teacher Judy's house quietly for a while but to no avail, and then Conan hid the bug made by Dr. Agasa in a corner of her living room.

However, just as they were planning to go to a nearby restaurant with Judy to have dinner and see if they could get some useful information, they encountered another accident as expected - a young man fell from a building.

And it hit Conan less than two meters away.

Looking at the blood all over the ground and the tragic state of the dead, even detectives like Conan and Hattori Heiji, who have seen many corpses, couldn't help swallowing and revealed very horrified expressions.

"Isn't this person... Mr. Takai who lives next door to me?"

Judy bent down and spoke in a very calm tone after seeing the appearance of the deceased.

So, the two of them had to temporarily put aside the investigation of Teacher Judy and turned around to solve the case at hand.

……

Just as Conan once again showed his Death God attributes, Xia He, who was sitting at home playing computer games, suddenly received an email like this:
"Mr. Jiu Niang Xiahe, if you see this message I sent you, please contact me as soon as possible. I need your help.

——Itakura Taku"

Xia He: "?"

Itakura Taku...

Very familiar name.

He thought about it, then turned on the computer and entered the name into the search bar.

"Forty-five years old, graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, a famous CG special effects producer, has produced special effects for Hollywood movies many times and achieved very impressive box office results. He is known as the number one in film CG..."

Xia He read the information on the computer quietly.

"Two years ago, he suddenly announced his retirement from the film industry and switched to become a computer game engineer. He first worked at Spring Summer Game Company for a year, then resigned and started his own independent game studio a year later. He also created a number of best-selling software..."

Xia He raised an eyebrow.

He actually worked in his own game company?
Is this why he sent this email to himself?
He stroked his chin, and at the same time he recalled all the information about this character that he had read in the original book:
1. Targeted by the Black Organization, who asked him to develop a certain computer software.

2. Finally died tragically in the hotel room.

As for how he died...

And what kind of software is required to be developed by the organization?

Then he would not know.

"Perhaps he was silenced by the Black Organization?"

he guessed.

Then I edited an email and sent it back: "My Jiu Niang Xia He, what do you need me to help you with?"

After sending the message, he closed his email and continued playing Bubble Bobble, an online game that his company had just launched.

Until an hour later.

The email reminder sounded again.

Xia He quit the game and opened it to take a look.

"Meet at the Beihu Hotel at 2000 noon tomorrow. I will be wearing the latest Casio LAQ-1L-A."

It's the Beihu Hotel again...

Is the food in this restaurant delicious?
Xia He blinked. Also, why did this guy suddenly mention the brand of the watch?
If you want others to recognize you at a glance, it would be more reasonable to describe your clothes and appearance, such as what style of hat you wear and the color of your clothes, right?
Xia He touched his head in confusion and did not reply to the email. Instead, he turned off the computer, ran to the gym at home, and started exercising.

……

Nine o'clock that night.

Conan called him and said that he and Hattori Heiji had just solved a case of falling from a building that was disguised as suicide by the murderer.

By the way, he also talked about his suspicions about Judy, and said that this woman is definitely not just an English teacher from a foreign country as she appears to be.

The key point of his suspicion was that the woman's expression was too calm when she saw the corpse.

In addition, the memory card of his camera at home contained a lot of photos of himself with Ai, as well as Natsuka and Hattori Heiji, which further confirmed his inner thoughts.

"My photo?" Xia He asked puzzledly.

"That's right." Conan nodded on the other end of the phone, "I suspect she has guessed the identities of Xiao Ai and me, and has begun to investigate the people around us..."

According to Conan's expectation, Xia He, as one of the closest people around him and a well-known detective with strong reasoning ability, it is reasonable for the organization to pay special attention to him.

"You'd better be as careful as possible in the recent period. If possible, just flee abroad first. Come back after I catch all the people in that organization." Conan continued seriously.

Xia He: "."

I'm afraid you'll have to wait more than 30 years.

He complained in his heart, but still said, "Don't worry, those guys can't do anything to me. Not to mention myself, I have the protection of the Suzuki Group. If they want to touch me, they will think twice. But the teacher Judy you suspect... I don't think she is a member of the Black Organization."

"Why? You know, although her pronunciation is very strange, she has always used Japanese grammar very accurately. This is clearly a disguise. I even suspect that she is not American, but a native Japanese."

"I have my reasons for saying this."

"Forehead……"

After hearing what Xia He said, Conan was silent for about three to five seconds before he replied, "Well, since you said so, I will definitely believe you. But besides Teacher Judy, do you have any other suspects?"

If Judy is really not a member of the Black Organization, Conan's investigation will be completely stuck in a dead end.

This was obviously something he didn't want to see.

When Xia He heard Conan's question, he seemed a little hesitant.

Of course he couldn't tell Conan that Dr. Shinde was Vermouth.

First of all, he had a deep friendship with Vermouth.

Secondly, what if the main plot is changed without authorization and the subsequent plot develops in a worse direction?
Even if a system task pops up, if you want to intervene, you must think carefully before doing so.

So Xia He could only reply: "Not yet."

"That's it..."

Conan's tone seemed a little lost, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly adjusted himself and continued, "Will you come out for lunch tomorrow? Hattori said he still owes you a big meal."

"No, I have an appointment tomorrow at noon, but I'm free for dinner."

"Is it the garden?"

"Ah."

Xia He responded directly without any intention of explaining.
