Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 150: Another Competition
"I have sent an email to Karasuma Renye in your name, telling him that you still have some things to deal with, so you will be back a few days later."

Xia He talked to himself while taking out a bowl of ramen from under the coffee table, tearing open the package, and planning to cook a bowl for himself.

However, when Vermouth heard these four words, her expression suddenly changed, "How do you know this name?"

"Is this something that surprises you?"

Xia He turned on the gas and started to boil water. "I have known about the relationship between your organization and the Karasuma Group for a long time. You know, the Suzuki Group's ability to obtain intelligence is no weaker than anyone else."

"Suzuki Group..."

Of course she knew that Xia He had been engaged to the daughter of the Suzuki family when he was very young.

But the Suzuki Group has only existed in Japan for half a century. How can it possibly compare to the Karasuma Group, which has a history of over a hundred years?
"Also, Karasuma Renya should be living in Tottori Prefecture now, right?"

Not just districts and counties.

Noah's Ark even analyzed the specific address through the phone call just now.

It has to be said that the level of technological abnormality of this most powerful artificial intelligence in the world was really beyond Xia He's expectations.

as predicted.

Vermouth's pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of murderous intent once again surged from her body, but soon, this murderous intent was suppressed by her.

"Take my advice and don't try to investigate further. Otherwise, even I may not be able to protect you." She looked at Xia He and said seriously.

"Oh, are you really going to protect me? It seems that I am very important to you." Xia He smiled when he heard it, "But if you hadn't thrown the hard drive into the sea last time, I would have brought people to Karasuma Renya's house."

"You can't catch him..."

"Why? Could it be that he is a loach?"

"Because no one has seen him since he died of old age forty years ago."

"So what was that phone call you just made?"

Xia He was a little confused.

He thinks you're kidding me.

Unexpectedly, Vermouth continued: "I have only contacted him on the phone, and the number of times I spoke to him was very small. Most of the time, we communicated through emails."

She wasn't lying.

Although Karasuma Renya was "very fond" of her and would not be punished even if she occasionally refused his orders...but in all these years, she had never seen him once.

"Then don't you doubt whether such a person really exists?" Thinking of a certain possibility, Xia He suddenly said this.

However, Vermouth shook her head with certainty, "He does exist, there is no doubt about that."

The reason why she was so confident was not for any other reason, but because Karasuma Renya was her great-grandfather.

Forty years ago, when she was just fifteen years old, Karasuma Renya passed away at the age of ninety-nine.

It was not until ten years later, on her 25th birthday, that a young man suddenly came to her and told her that Karasuma Renya was still alive.

She didn't know whether Karasuma Renya was faking his death or resurrected, but in any case, he knew everything about her childhood.

Even some details when there are no outsiders present.

So from then on, Vermouth joined the organization and began to work officially for Karasuma Renya.

Almost thirty years have passed so far.

How many thirty years can we have in our life?

Thinking back to the shady things she had done for the organization, Vermouth couldn't help but become dazed.

Maybe I've really gotten tired of this kind of life?
She was murmuring in her heart.

But Xia He, who was eating ramen, said incoherently: "It's getting late, you can go to my room and have a nap first. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow morning." "Delicious?"

Vermouth came back to her senses and blinked.

It seems like more than a year has passed since the last time I ate food cooked by Xia He.

It really makes me miss it...

Otherwise, why not just stay here for a few more days?

She began to have such thoughts.

At the same time, Xia He finished his noodles in no time, threw the bowl and chopsticks into the sink, and then looked at Vermouth again, "By the way, although you said that you haven't seen Karasuma Renya in all these years, there should be a residence of Karasuma Renya in Tottori Prefecture, right? ...Does he have a cat in his house?"

"cat?"

Vermouth shook her head subconsciously, somewhat confused, "The housekeeper in that house is allergic to cat hair, so he never kept any animals."

……

Noon the next day.

"Hello, little sister, my name is Nakatsuru Hirota, you can call me Uncle Hirota like Xia He." Nakatsuru Hirota greeted Vermouth happily.

Little did he know that this "little sister" who seemed to him to be not much older than Xia He was actually a generation older than himself.

"Hello." Vermouth returned a smile.

"But why do I feel like you look familiar..." Nakatsuru Hirota scratched the back of his head.

He always felt like he had seen the other person somewhere before.

"Wang Wang!"

The food was brought to the table by Xia He at the cry of Meatball.

Looking at the familiar Chinese dishes, Vermouth, whose stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time, couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start to devour them.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that she was so immersed in the delicious food that she didn't even notice there was another person in the living room.

"Are you here?" Putting down his chopsticks, Xia He looked at Kyogoku Makoto who was walking to the dining table.

After arresting Vodka yesterday, this guy stayed in a five-star hotel in Beika Town under Xia He's arrangement.

"You said yesterday that you wanted to spar with me again. Where are we going?"

Kyogoku Makoto flexed his wrists in anticipation.

You know, over the years, it's not easy to find an opponent who can allow him to exert his full strength.

Xia He can barely be considered one.

"There's a place where we can have a great time."

"Where?" Kyogoku Makoto asked curiously.

Not long after.

Inside the cocoon cabin, Xia He and Kyogoku Makoto lay flat on their seats. When Noah's Ark gave a prompt, they suddenly appeared in the center of a medieval arena.

All around them, in the audience seats, tens of thousands of civilians cheered, and even their blood was aroused.

"This is a virtual world. You don't have to worry about getting hurt. You can give full play to your full potential." Xia He looked at Kyogoku Shindo who was standing opposite him.

So, as the referee gave the signal, Kyogoku Shin didn't say anything and just threw a punch straight at Xia He's face.
