Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 40 Car accident scene
Colombo Restaurant.

At Xia He’s twelfth birthday party.

Ida Hang walked into the private room alone with a Transformers toy, "Happy birthday, Xia He, you're one year older. Come, brother will give you a toy."

Xia He: "."

"Thank you."

Speechlessly reaching out to take the toy, Xia He then asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"

"Uh...I'm afraid the three of them can't come."

The "three of them" that Date Kou mentioned were naturally referring to Furuya Rei, Matsuda Jinpei, and Morofushi Kagemitsu.

"why?"

"Both Furuya and Morobushi have already resigned. They said they want to start their own business. They are probably busy now..."

"Really?" Xia He raised his eyebrows, "What about Brother Matsuda?"

"Him? He's working hard to get transferred to the Investigation Division 1."

Since the death of Kenji Hagiwara, Jinpei Matsuda has become a different person.

From a flamboyant middle school boy, he turned into a silent and melancholy prince.

This made Ida Hang a little uncomfortable.

"It seems that being a policeman is a very hard job." Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting next to her father, spoke up at this time.

Two of them resigned because they couldn't continue in their jobs, and one of them couldn't attend Xia He's birthday party because of his busy work...

She thought to herself that she couldn't be a police officer when she grew up.

Well, Xia He can’t be that person either.

Otherwise, after getting married, won’t I have to stay alone in an empty room every night?

"It's really hard..." After hearing what Suzuki Sonoko said, Date Ko also pretended to sigh.

Little did he know that Xia He, a time traveler, was actually fully aware of the lies he had told.

Most likely, Fūya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu received orders from their superiors to sneak into the winery, which is why they openly said "resignation".

As for Jinpei Matsuda...

If he is really transferred to the Investigation Division, his death will probably be not far away.

"Come on, let's raise our glasses and wish Xia He a happy birthday!"

At the same time, Suzuki Sonoko's father, Suzuki Shiro, raised his glass and spoke to the guests.

This time, he paid for the banquet for Xia He.

After all, he is his future son-in-law. As his father-in-law, there shouldn't be anything wrong with him paying a little attention, right?

"Xia He, our Yuan Jiazi is usually careless and not very smart, you have to take good care of her."

Upon hearing this, Xia He also raised a glass of juice and said, "I will."

"It's great that we are childhood sweethearts and can grow up together until we walk into the wedding hall." Shiro Suzuki patted his beer belly happily.

The more he looked at Xia He, the more he found her pleasing to the eye.

Mature, steady, excellent in academic performance, and a martial arts champion...

And according to Xia He's father, the current success of the Jiu Niang family's company is all thanks to the ideas proposed by his son.

He only has two daughters. If Xia He can inherit his business and continue to develop the Suzuki Group...

Then he will have no worries in his old age.

...After dinner, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Xia He and Shinichi stood on the side of the road, each carrying a bag of gifts, waiting for Suzuki Shiro to send a car to take them back.

"What are we having for dinner?"

"I don't know. What I eat recently depends entirely on Sister Liumei's mood."

"Xiaolan should also be here for dinner."

"Ah."

Because she had to practice karate today, Xiaolan was not present, but she made an appointment with the two of them to go to Dr. Agasa's house to see the inventions together in the evening.

The two were chatting casually, when suddenly, a long-haired man passing by attracted their attention.

"Hey, that person...seems familiar?"

Shinichi scratched his forehead, then immediately remembered: "It's the Sad Clown?!"

The man at the beach five years ago!

You know, that was the first time he showed his reasoning in front of adults.

As he said that, he wanted to catch up to say hello, but Xia He grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

Although they are both twelve years old, Xia He has grown so rapidly that he is now almost a head taller than Shinichi.

Shinichi turned around and stared at Xia He with dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?"

"Hey, it seems like there's a Sherlock Holmes book title guessing contest going on in that cafe over there..."

"where?!"

"There."

Xia He pointed to a place about 200 meters ahead and said, "Take your things and wait for me there. My stomach hurts a little. I'm going back to the restaurant to take a shit first."

"it is good!"

Shinichi nodded vigorously, and without saying a word, he immediately ran to the cafe with the bag.

……

Xia He followed the long-haired man, Akai Shuichi, without making any sound.

Not to mention, even though Shuichi Akai was an FBI agent, when facing Xia He, a true disciple who had learned skills from Heiyu Daoyi for half a year, he did not realize that he was being followed.

Not long after, Akai Shuichi glanced at his watch, then stood in front of the traffic light at the intersection, as if waiting for something.

Xia He, with eyes full of curiosity, hid behind a nearby billboard and observed silently.

About five minutes later, the traffic light in front of the zebra crossing turned red.

Shuichi Akai suddenly rushed to the road and was then hit and thrown out by an oncoming car.

In an instant, blood splattered and Akai Shuichi rolled several times after landing before he finally stopped.

"Fuck..."

Xia He was stunned and was about to run forward to check what happened, but a young woman was the first to rush out of the car that knocked down Akai Shuichi.

"Are you okay, sir?!"

She anxiously took out her cell phone and called the emergency number.

It was not until this time that Xia He finally reacted.

I seem to have accidentally stumbled upon the scene that Akai Shuichi had planned for his encounter with Miyano Akemi...
