Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 28 Police Academy Five

Three years later.

Metropolitan Police Academy.

Snapped!
clap clap!

The sound of bamboo swords colliding continued to echo in the martial arts hall.

"Go ahead, Zero!"

"Knock down the squad leader!"

Several boys in their early 20s shouted at the top of their lungs, cheering very hard.

One of them, a handsome boy with natural curly and fluffy short hair named Jinpei Matsuda, suddenly turned to look at the classmate next to him and said, "Hey, Hagi, how about we make a bet and see which of them will win?"

The boy called "Hagi" - Kenji Hagihara, readily agreed and said, "Okay, what's the bet?"

"I bet the fried noodles and bread from the grocery store that Zero will win."

"Then I'll bet on the monitor to win with the melon bread."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled confidently, "The squad leader is on the rise, he will definitely win."

"Oh, no way." Matsuda Jinpei had an expression that said "Just wait and buy me some bread" and retorted with a wicked smile: "The squad leader injured his knee when he was competing with me just now. Zero will definitely not give up this opportunity."

"Ah? You are too insidious!" Kenji Hagiwara complained speechlessly.

at the same time.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.

The bamboo sword hit zero's protective mask heavily.

Their squad leader, Date Kou, took off his mask at this moment, looked at his opponent with a serious face and said, "I am very disappointed in you, Furuya, why didn't you attack my knee? If I were the suspect, you would not only fail to capture me, but you would also be seriously injured."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gym suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on him.

However, Yi Dahang was completely unaware of this and continued to speak to himself: "We must not be merciful when dealing with vicious criminals. Once we expose our weaknesses, the other party will have an opportunity to take advantage of us... Only by becoming stronger than anyone else can we truly enforce justice to the end!"

Everyone: "."

"Why, did I say something wrong?"

"No...no."

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara shook their heads at the same time.

Seeing this, Yi Dahang turned around and left with great satisfaction.

A group of classmates were left looking at his back in confusion.

"Squad leader...what happened?"

"I don't know, maybe it was stimulated by something."

……

noon.

Police academy cafeteria.

Zero, as his classmates called him, had just come over with his meal tray and sat down when he heard Matsuda Jinpei, who was sitting at the same table, start gossiping again: "Did you see the news report a few days ago? It was about the elementary school student detective who was called a prodigy by the media - Sakuno Natsukazu."

"Elementary school detective?"

However, when asked, Fūya Rei and others looked confused. On the contrary, the two female students at the next table suddenly became interested. "I know, I know. You mean the kid who solved many cases recently, right?"

three murders;

a robbery;

There was also a case of arson.

In just three months, he solved five cases, and because he was only 10 years old, he was given the title of "child prodigy" by the people.

The female classmate even took out a newspaper from her police uniform while speaking, and then continued, "And he is also the champion of the National Junior High School Karate Competition from the Kanto region."

Printed on the top of the newspaper was a photo of Xia He wearing a karate uniform and standing on the podium.

"Aren't they elementary school students? Elementary school students participating in the national middle school student competition?"

and……

This person holding the championship trophy should be about fourteen or fifteen years old, right?
"It is said that when he was in the first grade of elementary school, he had already taught himself all the sixth grade courses, so he was able to skip a grade this year and enter Teitan Junior High School in advance to study in the first grade of junior high school."

The more he talked, the more excited he seemed. The girl didn't even notice that her roommate at the next table had taken away her whole fried pork chop. "Not only that, he also participated in the National Judo Competition, the National Kendo Competition, and professional boxing competitions...Except for the boxing competition, where he lost to the first place because there were no weight classes, he also won the Kanto region championship in the other two competitions." Are you kidding...

I’m afraid this child is not a monster, right?
Kenji Hagiwara and others began to doubt the authenticity of these words.

After all, it would be fine if he was good at just one fighting skill, but this kid named Jiu Niang Xiahe was actually so proficient in everything...

To put it another way, it would be fine if he was proficient in all aspects of martial arts, and he was even so good at studying...

How can this be called a child prodigy?
This is simply perverted, okay!
Only Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

“Is this what they call a gifted monster?”

No, after school in the evening, go to the playground and run twenty laps before going back to the dormitory.

……

evening.

Furukaya Rei was lying in bed, unable to sleep, and his mind kept echoing what Date Kou had said to him when he was defeated in the martial arts hall earlier this day.

As for the topic of "elementary school student detective" brought up by Jinpei Matsuda in the cafeteria, he had already forgotten it.

After all, no matter how amazing that kid named Jiu Niang Xia He is, he has nothing to do with him at all.

Unless the other person grows up to be a criminal...

Shaking his head, Furukaya Rei suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not washed up yet, then he turned over and got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom.

But when he washed his face and was about to brush his teeth, he realized that his toothpaste was all used up.

Forget it, since there’s still some time before I go to bed, I might as well go to the convenience store and buy one.

he thought to himself.

Two minutes later, Fūya Rei, dressed in casual clothes, appeared on the way to the convenience store.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, he ran into Ida Kou, who was sitting alone on the roadside near the school and looking up at the night sky.

"Captain Ida?" Furugaya Rei greeted him.

"Ah, it's Furuya? Why are you out so late?"

"I'm going to the convenience store to buy toothpaste."

Idahang stood up after hearing that and dusted off his butt. "That's great. I want to buy some food too. How about we go together?"

……

"I'm really sorry for what I said during the day at the martial arts gym..."

On the way, Date Ko suddenly expressed his apology to Furuya Rei.

His father was also a policeman.

When he was about seven or eight years old, one day, Ida Ko went to a convenience store with his father and encountered a robber holding a wooden sword in the store.

There is no doubt that Ida Kou, who regards his father as his idol, is convinced that he can easily subdue the criminal.

But what he never expected was that... instead of standing up for himself, his father gave all his money to the other party, and knelt on the ground in a very cowardly manner, begging for mercy from the criminal.

This made Yi Dahang unable to accept it for a moment, and he rushed forward and shouted at the criminal: "Listen carefully, my father is a policeman, if you dare to act rashly, he will definitely take care of you, the bad guy!"

As a result, his father was seriously injured on the spot by the criminal with a wooden sword.

He really couldn't understand why his father would rather be beaten into the hospital than fight back.

So, from then on, he secretly swore in his heart that he must become strong.

At least, he can't be a cowardly policeman like his father!

……

"welcome."

After walking for more than ten minutes, the two entered a convenience store on the side of the road together.

Who would have thought that just as I entered and before I had time to go shopping, I heard a gunshot.

Then, two armed gangsters came out and shouted, "Everyone get down!"

"Hand over all your cell phones and put them in the basket in front. Don't dilly-dally. Do you hear me?"

Looking at the double-barreled shotgun in the leading gangster's hand, Yi Dahang couldn't help swallowing.

Did they really run into robbers in a convenience store?
