Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 13 Kidnapping Incident
"I think that guy named Jiang Zhou Lunjie... is likely to have bad intentions towards you."

That morning, during the break, Shinichi suddenly came over and whispered in Xia He's ear.

"Oh, why?" Xia He turned to look at Shinichi with interest after hearing that.

"I've been observing him for a few days, and I've noticed that he spends most of his time staring at you. When we go out for a walk, he only holds your hand and takes great care of you.

The most important thing is that every time you take a nap, he will always spread your quilt at the door of the classroom... He must be up to some bad idea."

"is it?"

Xia He blinked, then made an angry expression and frowned, "Is it possible that Teacher Jiang Zhou takes special care of me because he likes me? After all, I have always been loved by the elders. You are not feeling unbalanced, so you slander Teacher Jiang Zhou, right?"

"How is that possible!" After hearing what Xia He said, Xinyi suddenly became anxious, and his face became very serious, "I really think that guy has a problem..."

"Okay, got it."

However, Xia He interrupted Shinichi and continued to read the junior high school textbook on the table.

Not until the other person left did he glance at Shinichi's angry back. He couldn't help but smile and sigh in his heart: He is truly worthy of being the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.

At only four years old, he already has such keen observation skills.

Unlike other children at this age, he can only squat on the ground and play with plasticine.

"Ah Qiu!"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who were making little rabbits out of plasticine, suddenly sneezed at the same time.

……

noon.

As usual, Xia He was arranged by Teacher Jiang Zhou to take a nap at the door.

About twenty minutes later.

After all the children fell asleep, the door of the classroom was pushed open, and then a young man with a towel in one hand walked in and quietly approached Xia He.

But just when he was about to cover Xia He's mouth and nose with a towel, Xia He, who had just been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, then took out a bottle of pepper water from the quilt and sprayed it into the man's eyes.

"what!!"

Screams suddenly sounded.

The man covered his eyes and wailed in pain.

Seeing this, Xia He turned over and wanted to escape, but before he could leave the bed, the man endured the pain and lifted him up very quickly.

"Damn kid!" the man cursed angrily.

Xia He, who was lifted into the air, hugged the man's right arm with both hands and began to struggle hard.

However, facing an adult with a strength attribute of about 30 points, Xia He, who is only four years old and has a strength of less than 10 points, naturally has no possibility of breaking free.

"Xia He!"

Not far away, Shinichi picked up the thermos on the table and wanted to go over to help.

At this critical moment...

"Young Master!"

Outside the door, Xia He's bodyguard rushed in first.

He first punched the young man who had his back to him in the ribs, and then, the moment he let go of Xia He, he gave him a roundhouse kick in the air, hitting the man right on the temple.

boom!
The dull thud of a body falling to the ground.

In just ten seconds, the young man who tried to kidnap Xia He fainted.

the other side.

The frightened children all retreated into the corner.

At this time, the police rushed in with handcuffs and shouted: "Everyone raise your hands, don't move!"

However, after seeing the prisoner lying on the ground, they were all stunned.

"How is this going?"

The person who spoke was a man with a slicked-back hair, thin eyebrows, a wide jaw, and slightly prominent cheekbones.

Although he had not yet grown his iconic beard, Xia He recognized him at a glance. This man was the young Kogoro Mori.

The other policeman standing next to him was fat, wearing an orange hat, orange clothes and pants... His appearance had hardly changed in the past decade. He was undoubtedly Megure Juzo.

"Who did this?" Kogoro Mouri pointed at the man lying on the ground.

"Me." The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and said.

"you are?"

"My name is Nakatsuru Hirotaka, and I'm the bodyguard hired by Mr. Sakuno to protect his son."

"Mr. Sakuno? So this kid... is the neighbor's kid that Yusaku mentioned?" Kogoro Mouri thought to himself.

"father!"

Xiaolan, who was also frightened just now, threw herself into her father's arms.

Maori Kogoro saw this and quickly patted Maori Ran on the back and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Xiaolan, Dad is here."

That damned human trafficker actually dared to come to a kindergarten in the city to kidnap people in broad daylight...

And it would be fine if he kidnapped someone, but he actually scared my daughter...

If I don’t teach this guy a lesson when I get back to the office, I’m not going to be named Maori!

"Take the people away." Megure Jusan waved his hand at his subordinates, "Also, protect these children and send them home safely. Explain everything to them later and don't let their parents worry."

"Yes, Commander Megure."

After the prisoner was escorted out, Megure Jusan finally turned his head to look at Jiang Zhou Lunjie, who was standing at the edge of the classroom and rubbing his hands nervously.

"Teacher Jiang Zhou, please come with us." "Why?" Jiang Zhou Lunjie asked subconsciously.

At the same time, Kudo Yusaku, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, walked in with a test report.

"According to the evidence provided by Dr. Agasa, you have fed sleeping pills to the children of Sakura Nursery School more than once. This is already suspected of intentional injury, and now there is also an attempted kidnapping... If I am not mistaken, the prisoner who was just taken away should be your brother-in-law, right?"

"I...I..." Jiang Zhou Lunjie's lips began to tremble.

"Do you have anything else you want to say to defend yourself?" Kudo Yusaku looked at him expressionlessly and asked.

next second.

Jiang Zhou Lunjie suddenly fell to his knees without any warning and then entered into confession mode.

"I'm sorry, my wife suffers from severe mental illness, and my brother-in-law and I had no choice but to do this..."

"Your daughter ran away from home, which caused your wife to become ill, right?" Kudo Yusaku interrupted the other party. "Your wife was deeply shocked by the disappearance of her daughter, so she became mentally ill. That's why she wanted to find a 'replacement' to raise the child again from the time when her daughter was the cutest in kindergarten... Am I right, Mr. Jiang Zhou?"

After losing their daughter, Jiang Zhoulunjie's wife not only attempted suicide many times, but also suffered from anorexia.

Therefore, Jiang Zhou Lunjie couldn't bear to see his wife becoming more and more haggard day by day, so he chose to indulge her, which led to such a farce.

But... the person they originally wanted to kidnap was actually Mao Lilan, but who would have thought that a few days ago, a person named Xia He transferred to the school.

Even the photos of the child after changing into girls' clothes look almost exactly like their daughter when she was a child.

This is also why they would take the risk and change the target of the kidnapping at the last minute.

I never thought... this kid named Xia He is so tough. He ate food mixed with sleeping pills for several days in a row, but he was still fine, as if he was not affected at all.

"By the way, my wife should not be punished, right? After all, she just had the idea and did not participate in the implementation. All of this was planned by me and my brother-in-law..." Jiang Zhou Lunjie said at this time.

"No, your wife should be at the police station by now."

Kudo Yusaku shook his head. "Among my fans, there is also a girl named Jiang Zhou. I have conducted a careful investigation in the past two days and found that she is actually your long-lost daughter... So, in order to see her as soon as possible in the future, go to the police station and turn yourself in now."

"woo woo woo woo……"

After hearing this, Jiang Zhou Lunjie finally couldn't control his emotions anymore and started crying with his head in his hands.

……

"I'm sorry, Mr. Nakatsuru, I'll have to trouble you to go to the police station to give a statement later." After Jiang Zhou Lunjie was also taken away, Megure Jusan immediately reminded Xia He's bodyguard.

"Then is Xia He going?" asked Nakatsuru Hirota.

"Not for children."

Megure Jusan thought to himself, what can a four-year-old kid say?
When you encounter something like this, it’s good enough not to be scared and cry.

"Wait, uncle." Xia He walked forward and pulled the bodyguard's trouser leg.

Nakatsuru Hirota immediately squatted down and put his ear close to Xia He.

"After you finish taking the statement, don't tell my parents about this."

"Um... after something like this happens, the police should also take the initiative to contact your guardian, right?"

"Then don't tell my mom, just ask them to call my dad." Xia He said.

He thought to himself, my mother is traveling abroad right now. If she knew that I was almost kidnapped, wouldn’t she be worried to death?

If I have to rush back to Japan without stopping, I won't be able to live my life as freely as I do now.

"I understand." Nakatsuru Hirota nodded.

"Hey, kid, is this pepper spray yours?" Kogoro Mouri picked up the pepper spray that fell on the ground, walked over and asked Xia He.

"It's mine." Xia He immediately put on an innocent expression, "Any problem, uncle?"

"Do you know that this thing is very dangerous? If you bring it to the kindergarten without permission, what if it hurts other children's eyes?"

"Ah? Then I won't bring it next time." Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Xia He lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

However, immediately afterwards, Maori Kogoro changed the subject: "But well done, kid. You were able to remain calm when faced with something like today, and you protected your classmates from the criminals. You can definitely be called a little man. Yeah, not bad, you are very much like me when I was a child, hahahaha~~~"

After saying that, he touched Xia He's head, stuck out his tongue, and laughed triumphantly.

Xia He: "."

……

"You, you clearly noticed that something was wrong with Teacher Jiang Zhou, but you pretended to be clueless!"

That night, at Kudo's house.

Shinichi was sitting in front of the TV, looking at Xia He who was stuffing snacks into his mouth with an accusatory expression on his face.

He said that Xia He was so smart that even when he watched detective movies, he could always guess who the criminal was before him. How could he not notice that there was something wrong with Jiang Zhou Lunjie?

"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry. Uncle Yusaku specifically told me not to tell you." Xia He smiled and handed the snacks he just bought to Shinichi.

But then again...

This incident can indeed be considered a near miss.

If he hadn't thought about it a little more and called Uncle Zhonghe in advance, he might have really been injured.

"After all, he is just a four-year-old child. Before his body is fully developed, he is still too weak."

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
