Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 18 Phantom Thief 1412
"Full moon ghost?" Xia He tilted his head.

Xiaolan, who was standing next to him, tugged at Shinichi's clothes fearfully and said, "Why don't we not go? What if Shinichi and Xia He are eaten by a ghost..."

"Idiot, how could there be such a thing as ghosts in this world?" Shinichi looked at Xiaolan as if he was looking at a fool.

"But... Sonoko told me that on the night of the full moon, a ghost will appear in the library. It's the kind of ghost that makes creepy noises and wears a strange hat..." Xiaolan said with a serious face, trying to make Shinichi give up the idea of ​​seeking death.

When Xia He heard this, he narrowed his eyes.

Did Yuanzi say that?
Not surprising then.

She told me last time that there is a monster in the lake of Mihua Park.

"So, today is the day of the full moon, and I have to reveal its true face." Shinichi said, looking at Xia He again, "Hey, are you going or not?"

"Are you scared, so you come to me?" Xia He said jokingly.

"Hehe, such an interesting thing, do you think I would be afraid?" Shinichi sneered when he heard this.

Maybe it's the detective gene at work.

Not to mention being scared, he was even a little excited at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Xia He shook his head and said, "I won't go. Today's training is not finished yet."

"Tsk, what a boring guy."

After getting Xia He's answer, Shinichi muttered something in a low voice with a little disappointment. Then he turned around and walked away without looking back with his little follower, Mao Li Ran, one after the other.

Seeing this, Xia He closed the door and went back to his room to exercise.

He was too lazy to play such childish adventure games with these two kids.

Besides, the young couple finally had a chance to be alone, why would he, a third wheel, join in the fun?
"There aren't many guys as perceptive as me, Kudo-kun."

"twenty two……"

"twenty-three……"

"twenty four……"

Today's goal is 200 push-ups.

Start implementing!
……

As a result, the next day, when Shinichi took out a riddle and handed it to Xia He, the memory hidden deep in Xia He's mind was finally awakened.

I saw it read:

ハイドの
Angry

town めよ

"The words 'Calm Hido' written on the riddle refer to the place where the ship anchored in Haido Town sinks into the water, which means the port, so the answer is very simple."

Shinichi said, confidently extending his index finger and pointing at Xia He, "The answer is - Beihu Port!"

"Port Aipido?"

Xia He slapped Shinichi's fingers away and said, "Let me ask you, did you meet a young man wearing a beret in the library yesterday who claimed to be your brother?"

"How do you know?!" Shinichi's eyes widened when he heard that.

how could I know?

I happened to watch this cartoon on TV when I was a kid, so of course I knew it.

It must be said that ever since he acquired the talent of [Photographic Memory], even his memories of his past life have gradually become clearer.

All the plots of "Detective Conan" that he had watched on TV in the past flashed back in front of Xia He's eyes like slides.

The man who gave Shinichi this note was undoubtedly Kaito Kidd.

To be more precise, it should be the first generation Kaito Kidd.

That is Kuroba Kaito's father, Kuroba Toichi.

As for why Kuroba Toichi claimed to be Shinichi's "brother"... In the final analysis, it was because the name left by Kuroba Toichi after committing the crime - Phantom Thief 1412, was copied down by a reporter with sloppy handwriting, and then read by Kudo Yusaku as "Phantom Thief KID". Since then, the name of Phantom Thief Kid has become widely circulated in Japan, and Kuroba Toichi also jokingly called Kudo Yusaku the father who named him.

Thinking of this, Xia He suddenly became interested.

"Are you going to ask Dr. Agasa to take you to Beihu Port later?" Xia He asked.

"Well, today and tomorrow are my holidays, and I'm ready to accept this guy's challenge." Shinichi said confidently.

"Then take me along." "Aren't you not interested?"

Shinichi glanced at Xia He with an expression that said, "You're obviously very interested, but you were pretending to be reserved yesterday." He then said, "Hey, you must have gone to school with us last night, right? Otherwise, how would you know what happened to me in the library?"

"you guessed right."

Xia He nodded perfunctorily.

He immediately went back to the house, changed into a set of clothes for going out, carried a shoulder bag, and got into Dr. Agasa's yellow Beetle sedan and said, "Let's go!"

Shinichi: "?"

"It seems that it's rare to see Xia He so excited." Xiaolan said when she saw this.

"Come to think of it, this is the first time for the four of us to travel together, right?" Dr. Agasa, who was in the driver's seat, also hummed a little tune happily.

He spends all year round tinkering with inventions in the underground laboratory. Occasionally getting together with Xia He and Shinichi, the two little kids, is considered his most relaxing moment.

"By the way, Doctor, I notice that your hair seems to be getting thinner and thinner. Are you under a lot of stress recently?" Xia He asked at this time.

"Really?" Hearing this, Dr. Agasa touched his forehead with some melancholy. "I've been busy researching the phone watch you mentioned recently, but I've made key progress. I estimate that in less than two months, the first generation of products should be available."

In fact, Dr. Agasa's previous invention patents were nothing more than selling them to others for licenses to use, in order to earn some fixed fees from them.

Although it is quite profitable, it is nothing compared to the profit-sharing contract signed with him by Sakurano Ikki.

Take the 2 billion yen earned from the sweeping robot for example. After tax, the amount that went into Dr. Agasa's pocket was close to 500 million yen.

It is indeed dozens... or even hundreds of times higher than his previous income.

Even though Dr. Agasa doesn't particularly value money, who would complain about having too much of this stuff?

What's more, with sufficient funds, he can also buy more advanced equipment from abroad to research more interesting inventions, right?
……

About an hour later.

Acupido Port.

Shinichi was standing in front of a red mailbox holding a piece of paper with a secret code on it, groping around.

The "tail-chaser" Xiaolan followed closely behind.

Xia He was showing off the snacks he brought with him, leaning against the car body, and watching quietly.

at the same time.

"Hey, why are you here?" Kogoro Mouri, who happened to be working a case nearby, walked out of the post office with a group of police officers.

"Isn't this the child who was almost kidnapped two years ago?" Megure Jusan, who was traveling with him, recognized Xia He at a glance, and then walked up to him and greeted him.

To be honest, he was quite impressed by this child who behaved very calmly and bravely at that time.

"Hello uncle~~"

Xia He and Xin Yi shouted at the same time.

Although both of them sounded arrogant when talking to each other in private, they were very professional when it came to pretending to be well-behaved and cute when facing their elders.

"Ran, you're here too? What are you doing in Haido Town?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

"It's Professor Agasa. He said the weather is good today, so he brought us here to play detective game." Shinichi responded very quickly.

Dr. Agasa: “?”

Okay, okay, you want me to take the blame again?

"But coming to the point, Brother Mori, why are you here?" Dr. Agasa changed the subject.

"Ah, we just arrested a murderer this morning. He used to work in this post office," explained Kogoro Mouri.

I don’t know if it’s because Shinichi has grown up, but the number of murder cases has really increased recently.

Just when Xia He was thinking whether he should stay a little further away from this elementary school student who is a god of death...
