Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 171 The mission is not yet completed
As flames and smoke rose, Kuroba Kaito, who was standing at the toilet door, was caught off guard and was blown seven or eight meters away by the sudden explosion.

"what?!"

Screams immediately echoed throughout the restaurant.

There was no time to evacuate the civilians, Xiahe rushed to Kaito who was lying on the ground and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's alright..." Kaito replied weakly, "Get out of here..."

"Ah."

Without stopping for long, fearing that a more serious explosion might occur, Xia He immediately picked up Kaito and followed the crowd, fleeing towards the restaurant door together.

Of course, when passing by the dining table where they were sitting, they also pushed the baby stroller out.

Although this baby was very likely to be inextricably linked to Karasuma Renya, at least the child was innocent. A living life was strangled simply because of blood...

Xia He could not do such an inhumane thing.

"Don't panic, watch your step, and try to stay calm!" Xia He shouted loudly in the corridor, while steadying his body, just like a stone statue. No matter how hard others rushed at him, he showed no signs of tilting or falling.

What was somewhat beyond Xia He's expectation was that the baby boy in his arms did not cry from beginning to end. His eyes looked around as if he was looking for something.

Xia He glanced at the baby and thought it was just a newborn baby exploring this unknown world.

About half an hour later.

All residents in the Wilk Building were evacuated safely.

The FBI also cordoned off the scene immediately.

But just as Xia He was holding the child in the car and thinking about the whereabouts of Karasuma Renya, he suddenly received a call from James who was investigating the situation at the scene: "We found a female corpse, about 75 years old, and the degree of destruction of the body reached 70%... However, although it is unrecognizable, it is still very easy to verify its true identity through the remaining skin tissue."

"A 75-year-old female corpse? Could it be that..." Xia He frowned.

"That's right." James said, "According to the footage captured by the camera in the corridor, when the explosion occurred, there was only the old man and another young woman who was about 30 years old in the women's bathroom, so... this body is most likely the one you just talked to - Karasuma Renya."

After that, the carriage fell into silence.

Xia He and Shinichi looked at each other, and the baby in Xia He's arms made the first cry since meeting Xia He: "Aiya."

Xia He: "."

Why does this sound feel so familiar?

but……

Did Karasuma Renya really die so easily in that explosion?
He didn't quite believe it.

So, he put his consciousness into the system and looked through his task list.

[Unlock Mission: Final Boss of the Science World]

[Mission content: Find out the identity of Karasuma Renya and destroy the Black Organization to get a second chance at reincarnation]

[Task progress: not completed]

Yes, the progress still shows as unfinished.

Obviously, the old lady was not the so-called Karasuma Renye at all.

"Damn..." Xia He couldn't help but frowned.

Shinichi on the side suddenly said: "That old lady... should be the nanny who is responsible for taking care of Karasuma Renye's food and daily life, right?"

"What do you mean?" Xia He looked at Shinichi. "Noah, please restore the content of the email sent by Rum and Karasuma Renye."

Before going to the rooftop restaurant, Xia He told Noah to follow Shinichi's instructions.

Considering Xia He's only friend in the world besides Hiroki Sawada, Noah's Ark would never refuse Xia He's request.

"Please wait..." Noah's Ark's voice came from the computer.

As if startled by the sound, the baby boy in Xia He's arms suddenly cried out again: "Aiya!"

"Be good, someone has gone to buy milk powder for you. Just be patient and you will have food." Xia He stroked the baby's head twice and said with a smile.

five minutes later.

“Look at this email.”

Shinichi clicked the mouse twice and maximized the content of the email on the computer.

[Master, I heard that your nanny had an accident outside two days ago. Do you need me to help you find a new nanny? Although the food she makes may not taste the same, at least she is still quite nimble...]
"That's it?" Xia He blinked.

He thought, at most this just meant that the nanny's legs and feet were not very agile, so where was the key information?

Shinichi clicked on another voice call and said, "Listen to this conversation again and you will know."

"Beep~Hello, sir, it's me." Rum's voice came out.

"Yeah." The person he was talking to responded.

It was a very simple response, and it was impossible to tell his age or gender.

"I'm sorry, I said too much in the email before. Auntie Nanny, I will ask someone to go to the hospital to take good care of her. I will stay by your side until her leg injury recovers. Also... in about three years, you shouldn't need anyone to take care of you anymore, right? By then, I will arrange for her to live in the United States in her old age."

"Dudu-"

With the sound of the phone being hung up, the conversation came to an abrupt end.

"Why have I never heard of this conversation before?" Xia He asked curiously.

"This took me a whole night to restore, and it was just completed at noon today." Noah's Ark's voice came from the computer again.

Generally speaking, once a call record is deleted, the voice cannot be saved unless it is recorded in advance.

But Noah's Ark is different.

As the most powerful artificial intelligence in the world, and one that is constantly growing with the passage of time, it is natural for it to be able to restore the content of the call.

"Well, now you should know why I said that the old lady was the nanny who was responsible for taking care of Karasuma Renye, right?"

"Yes." Xia He nodded, "Gender, age, and leg injury, basically all match."

He had also noticed in the restaurant just now that the old lady walked with a slight limp.

"But this person won't need anyone to take care of him in three years... I still don't quite understand."

Is Karasuma Renya also injured?

Or is it that the guy has some rare disease that requires more than three years of treatment before he can fully recover?
My mind became a mess again.

Just as Xia He was thinking, a melodious cell phone ringtone rang.
