Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 37: Born to be a warm man
"Where did you learn the art of disguise?"

"Why can you make a woman's voice?"

"Besides karate and jeet kune do, what other moves do you know?"

"..."

A series of questions made Xia He's scalp tingle.

So he thought about it and simply answered: "I learned all of this from Hei Yu Touichi."

For him, there was nothing worth hiding about learning from a world-renowned magician.

Anyway, Kuroba Toichi is "dead" now, so can't he say whatever he wants?
New ideas suddenly emerged.

If there is anything that cannot be explained clearly in the future, he can say that he learned it from Heiyu Touichi, which should save a lot of trouble.

"Did you really want to strangle me just now?" Wakasa Rumi asked again.

"How can it be!"

Xia He waved his hands quickly.

His control over strength is quite delicate.

The level of force just now would at most make a person faint, but it would not strangle them to death.

"besides……"

"Wait, it's my turn to ask you." Xia He quickly interrupted Wakasa Rumi and said, "Answer me first, how did you know that this organization installed a bug in my house? And how did you know that the bug was inside the golden Pixiu?"

"Forehead……"

After hearing this question, Wakasa Rumi hesitated for a while, but finally chose to answer truthfully: "Because... I installed a surveillance camera in your house."

Xia He: (°ー°〃)
"When did this happen?"

"Just two days before you received the Pixiu... no, three days before."

"why?"

"To protect you and your family's safety."

Wakasa Rumi looked at Xia He with a very sincere look: "I learned more than half a year ago that the organization has set its sights on Chunxia Company. I don't know their specific purpose yet, but I think they are most likely planning to invite your father and the engineer who developed the smartphone to join them..."

engineer?
It turned out to be so.

It seems like he has set his sights on Dr. Agasa!
"It seems that I was indeed negligent..." he muttered to himself.

Xia Heke never expected that his efforts to promote technological development would lead to such a chain reaction.

"I have another question. What if... my father chooses to refuse?"

"There's a chance he'll be killed."

Wakasa Rumi said bluntly: "Do you know about the murder of Haneda Hiroshi ten years ago?"

"Are you referring to the shogi player who was robbed? I saw it on the news." Xia He nodded.

Although he was only five months old at the time, thanks to his gift of photographic memory, he was still able to clearly remember every detail reported in the news.

"That's right, but he wasn't actually robbed. Instead, he was accidentally involved in an assassination case..."

Amanda Hughes was once one of the most famous female capitalists in the United States.

He also died mysteriously in his hotel room on the same day Hiroshi Haneda was murdered.

The autopsy report of the body has never been made public, so that to this day people are still speculating about the cause of death.

"In fact, the real reason for Amanda Hughes' death was that she was killed by those guys because she refused to join the organization..."

When Wakasa Rumi told the truth, it was obvious that she was suppressing her emotions.

Xia He could vaguely guess that this woman might have some connection with Amanda Hughes, but he had never watched this episode, so he could only guess roughly.

"In general, you just can't not join?"

"Not quite."

Wakasa Rumi shook her head, "If you seek asylum, you may be able to escape."

Seek asylum?

Xia He seemed to understand what Wakasa Rumi meant.

If he could find a top consortium that could compete with the winery... or more precisely, with Karasuma Renya, then perhaps he would really have a chance to get rid of this trouble.

"I don't know if the Suzuki Group has the qualifications..."

He immediately thought of his childhood sweetheart, Suzuki Sonoko.

Although being affiliated with the Suzuki family will inevitably reduce the profits of Chunxia Company and greatly restrict its future development...but in order to protect his father and Dr. Agasa, Xia He believes that this insignificant sacrifice is still necessary.

"Also, you must not let anyone else know what I told you today, understand?"

"Of course I understand."

Xia He nodded.

After all, he really didn't want to have anything to do with the B Black Organization.

……

The next afternoon.

Saturday.

The final autopsy results on the nanny's murder case are out.

According to the inspection report, the food, drinks, fruits, and all the utensils placed in the home that Xia and the other two people ate on the night of the incident did not react with any sodium hydroxide.

So it can be seen from this that the thing that the murderer poisoned might have come from the nanny herself.

Although all the items on the nanny's body were tested after her death and nothing abnormal was found, Xia He already had some idea of ​​the murderer's modus operandi.

The only troublesome thing is that there is no such plot in the original book, so I have to find evidence myself.

This made Xia He, who was unable to "copy the answers" directly for the first time, feel a little impatient.

So he simply knocked on his neighbor's door again.

"What are you looking for me for?"

Wakasa Rumi was chewing on the snacks that Xia He had delivered to her doorstep two days ago. While eating, she yawned sleepily.

Xia He knew without guessing that this woman must have slept until this hour again, so she simply ate the snacks as breakfast.

"Sister Liumei, you should be good at investigating intelligence, right?" he asked.

Wakasa Rumi looked at her with an expression that said, "I'm a professional," and nodded, "Of course."

"Then can you help me investigate some information about my nanny?"

"Hasn't that case been solved yet?"

"No."

"But I have a part-time job later..."

"I'll pay."

"How much?"

Hearing this, Wakasa Rumi's originally sleepy eyes suddenly became bright.

You know, in order to be neighbors with Xia He, she spent a lot of money to rent the two-story house next door.

If I don't work a few more jobs to earn some money these days, my life will really be a problem.

"A deposit of 100,000 yen. After I get the information, I'll give you another 100,000 yen. How about that?"

"Of course no problem!" Wakasa Rumi responded excitedly.

Is this what is called the second generation of rich people?

One shot is two hundred thousand...

She was so moved that she almost cried.

"Try to help me find out if the deceased had any financial disputes or disputes over property among his children... and pay a little attention to his emotional issues as well."

Xia Hexin said, my aunt was almost 60 before she died. It's impossible that the old man she was dating turned from love to hate because her twilight romance failed and that's why she wanted to kill her, right?

That's too weird.

The money was paid in advance to Wakasa Rumi.

When Wakasa Rumi took the money, the following prompt popped up in Xia He's mind:

[Current favorability: 101/100]

[You have completed the task: Caring for single aunts living alone]

[Talent obtained: Naturally born warm man]

[A naturally caring man: Regardless of age, any caring behavior from you can easily make women like you]
