Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 118 How many things are you hiding from me?
For the AI ​​face-changing software, Taku Itakura’s production progress has reached about 80%.

But for the next 20%, Taku Itakura was unwilling to continue producing it no matter what.

I have to say that he is indeed a very principled man, and he has his own conscience deep in his heart.

He didn't want to suffer the condemnation of his conscience for the rest of his life, so he had made plans to flee abroad two months ago.

The reason why he came to seek Xia He's refuge now was simply because he was attached to his hometown and wanted to see if there was any way to continue staying in Japan.

Therefore, if Xia He was helpless or chose to refuse, he would board a plane to a foreign country the next day without hesitation, and live an anonymous life from then on.

Little did he know how naive his idea was in front of the winery.

escape?
Impossible.

Unless it's "dead".

Otherwise, trying to sneak out of Japan quietly under their noses would be nothing but a dream.

After copying 80% of the AI ​​face-changing software made by Itakura Taku to his computer, Xia He returned to his residence with his bag at around three in the afternoon.

He looked at the time and first went to the nearest milk tea shop to hang out for a while and check the situation of the store. At about half past six, he leisurely went to the restaurant that Hattori Heiji had booked in advance.

"Hattori, the feast you mentioned, are you referring to this Chinese restaurant?" As soon as he sat down, looking at the dishes that were almost served on the table, Xia He blinked and said.

"Yes, I have traveled to China twice. You know, it is a 'food country' with a wide variety of different dishes. Today I will take you two to broaden your horizons."

After hearing what Hattori Heiji said, Conan turned around and looked at Xia He.

"However, you said on the phone that no one should be brought to the dinner, including Kazuha and Xiaolan... Is there any important secret you want to tell us?" Hattori Heiji asked in a low voice.

"That's right." Xia He nodded, and then told Conan and Heiji about the email he received from Itakura Taku asking for help, and that the other party would trade software with the people of the Black Organization in two weeks.

After learning the news, the expressions of both of them immediately became extremely solemn.

"Are the time and place confirmed?"

"determine."

"Then we have to notify the police immediately and have Officer Megure and Officer Date go to the scene in advance to make arrangements..."

"On what charge?"

Xia He interrupted Conan, "He drugged you and attempted to kill you? Or did he trade computer software privately?"

Conan: "."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say that the Black Organization must be doing many shady things in private, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he remembered that he had no evidence of any crime involving this organization at all.

"In fact, I have been investigating the Black Organization." Seeing this, Xia He did not continue to hide it, but confessed: "There is something I have never told you. As early as six years ago, my family was already targeted by the Black Organization."

As he spoke, he told the other party that Vodka had sent someone to give his father an ornament with a bug installed in it.

After hearing this story, Conan's expression seemed a little shocked.

"So, the reason you suddenly agreed to get engaged to Sonoko is to use the power of the Suzuki Group to get rid of the Black Organization?"

Looking back on childhood, Xia He clearly had no interest in Suzuki Sonoko, but one day he suddenly changed his mind... If that's the case, then everything can be explained.

"That's right, but I don't have any objection to this marriage."

Xia He spread his hands and said, "Similarly, I also want to overthrow the entire Black Organization as soon as possible, but you know, through my investigation, I found that Gin and Vodka... those two are not even the second in command of the organization. Even if we catch them today, the Black Organization will basically not be affected too much.

It may even make them more cautious, and it will be much more difficult to catch them later through some clues. "

"So what do you plan to do? Collect evidence first, and then wait for the right opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop?" Conan touched his chin and continued asking.

"That's exactly what I think." Xia He replied.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I plan to pretend to be Itakura Taku and go to the transaction location to gain the trust of the Black Organization first, and then find a way to get in touch with them more deeply."

"Pretend?"

"Yes."

As Xia He spoke, he reached out and picked up a piece of braised pork from the plate. "There is one more thing I haven't told you. Like your mother, I once learned disguise from Hei Yu Daoyi, and my disguise technique is even better than your aunt's. Therefore, it will definitely not be a problem for me to dress up as Itakura Taku to trade with the other party. Baji baji baji~~"

How many things are you hiding from me?
Upon hearing this, Conan glanced at Xia He with dissatisfaction, then picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth.

"Baji, baji, baji~~"

About five seconds later.

"Pooh!"

They both spit out the meat at the same time.

No, why does this braised pork have a sour and sweet taste?

"What's wrong with you two?" Hattori Heiji saw this and picked up a piece to taste it. "Slurp, slurp, slurp~~ Gurgle! It's delicious."

"Yes...really?"

Conan thought that he had never eaten sweet and sour braised pork before at Xia He's house.

"Let's get back to the point, Hattori. During this time, I need your help in protecting Itakura Taku's safety. It would be best if you could bring that guy to your home. I believe that no matter how powerful the people in that organization are, they would never dare to raise their hands to the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters."

"No problem." Hattori Heiji smiled.

When his friends asked him for help, he would always respond.

What's more, Xia He's words are so pleasant to the ears.

"Also, Conan, use your wisdom and find a few excuses to help me deal with Sonoko for the time being. I also plan to disappear for a while..."

After saying that, as if afraid that Conan would refuse, he added: "After all, since you turned back to elementary school, I have helped you find excuses to deal with Xiaolan."

Conan: "."
