Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 129 Virtual Reality Technology

7 month 30 day.

sunny.

For some unknown reason, Teacher Judy did not go to Teitan High School to teach.

The principal is calling his relatives and friends to confirm the situation.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who were sitting in the classroom, looked at the empty podium. Somehow, they had a bad feeling in their hearts.

"Is Teacher Judy sick?"

"It seems that Dr. Shinde has also taken a day off today."

"Recently, due to the change of seasons, it seems that quite a lot of people have caught colds..."

The two of them lay on the desk, whispering to each other.

……

That night.

At Itakura Taku's funeral.

"Damn bastard, he just agreed to develop shogi software for me, but he died in such an unclear way?" Soma Ryusuke said in tears while looking at the portrait in front of him.

He was thinking about killing Itakura Taku a week ago, but at this moment he was more heartbroken than anyone else about Itakura Taku's death.

At the same time, Xia He presented white chrysanthemums and took a seat under the invitation of several FBI agents who pretended to be relatives and friends of Itakura Taku.

"Are you here?" Akai Shuichi, who had already started eating, put down his chopsticks and greeted Xia He.

"Yeah." Xia He nodded, his eyes sweeping over the sushi and soup and rice on the table.

"How is the situation? Have they tracked down the location of the person above them?"

"Just a little bit..."

Speaking of this, Xia He couldn't help smacking his lips. "I don't know how they suddenly realized that there was a transmitter in the hard drive. You know, that's the latest model developed by Dr. Agasa. Even the most advanced equipment can hardly detect its existence."

And the sniper who suddenly appeared on another hill...

It was as if it was arranged in advance.

This made Xia He wonder if there really was a traitor in the FBI, which led to a situation like this.

"Did you catch those two snipers?" he asked.

"We captured one of them, a young man around 30 years old. The other was a young woman, but she escaped with injuries," replied Shuichi Akai.

The man he caught was, of course, the winery's sniper - Cohen.

Just as Cohen shot Xia He in the shoulder, Akai Shuichi also shot Cohen in the collarbone.

Not only that, the Achilles tendon of his left leg was also hit.

If the woman hadn't dropped her gun and ran away the moment Cohen was shot, she would probably have been interrogated in the interrogation room by now.

"But unfortunately, that man is very stubborn and it is difficult for us to get any useful information from him."

"Oh, I see." Xia He scratched his forehead.

I don’t know why these guys from the Black Organization are so loyal to Karasuma Renya.

Is it just for money?

Or were they threatened in some way?
Shaking his head and putting all these things behind him for the time being, Xia He then picked up the chopsticks and started eating attentively with Akai Shuichi.

……

A few days passed quickly. Except for Conan and Maori Kogoro wandering around outside for a few times and "making" a few murders, everything returned to peace.

It is worth mentioning that in order to create the illusion that Judy was dead, Teitan High School announced yesterday that she had resigned and returned to the United States due to family changes.

"Hey, I actually quite like Teacher Judy..." On the way home from school, Sonoko said regretfully.

"I hope everything is well at Teacher Judy's family." Xiaolan prayed for Judy sincerely.

"By the way, this Saturday, Sindra Corporation will hold a virtual reality technology conference at the Beika Municipal Building. Do you, Conan, and Uncle Maori want to attend together?"

"Virtual reality technology?"

It was the first time that Xiaolan heard this word, and she blinked in confusion.

"It's a virtual somatosensory game that allows you to be immersed in the real world."

Sonoko put her arm around Xiaolan's arm. "When Sindor Company first came to us and asked us to invest in the development of this project, my father was going to refuse. But Xia He said that this technology is very promising, so we invested about 500 million yen in it."

"Five...five hundred million?"

Although she knew very well how rich her childhood friend's family was, she was still surprised when she heard this exaggerated figure.

"Yeah, after all, Dad trusts Xia He's vision." A smile appeared on Yuanzi's face.

It can be seen that she admires her fiancé very much.

"By then, most of the celebrities from all over Japan will gather there, and you might even be able to see your favorite idol star."

"Then... can we really go to that kind of occasion?" After listening to Sonoko's description, Xiaolan imagined the scene and suddenly seemed a little restrained.

"Of course. Although you probably won't be eligible to try out the game, at least you can have a free meal, right?"

The press conference was hosted by Sindora, and there would be no shortage of delicacies from land and sea on the banquet.

Compared to some game launch conference, Yuanzi really went there just to eat.

Of course, it’s not impossible to take a look at some handsome guys and feast your eyes on them…

"Will Xia He go?" Xiaolan asked casually.

"Of course he will go. As the vice president of Chunxia Game Co., Ltd., he has also received an invitation from Syndor." Yuanzi said with anticipation, "He just sent me a text message, saying that he will take the same car with me to attend the press conference on Saturday. I can't stay up late to watch the drama these days, otherwise I will get acne on my face that day..."

After saying that, she skipped to the side of the road and got into her luxury car. "Bye, Xiaolan, see you tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xiaolan smiled and waved in response.

But after the car drove away, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little lost.

"Shinichi..."

What are you doing right now?

……

In fact, Xia He was not quite sure when his father gave him the title of vice president in the company.

But that's not the point.

The point is...

The virtual game copy that he accidentally saw when he was a guest at Suzuki's house two years ago was actually made in just two short years?
"Is this the efficiency of the scientific world?"

He couldn't help but feel emotional.

So, I was three parts curious and seven parts expectant.

On Saturday night, Xia He, dressed in a suit and tie, appeared at the banquet at the Beihua Municipal Building hand in hand with Yuanzi, who was also dressed in a formal dress.
