Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 46 Sharpshooter

The next day.

9:00am.

Restaurant on the first floor.

Wakasa Rumi was eating breakfast. "I heard that the police came again at midnight yesterday."

"Well, to be precise, it was around 1:30 in the morning of today... I was having a midnight snack in a restaurant at that time." Miyano Akemi nodded.

"Then do you know why?"

"I'm not sure. I heard that a child called the police falsely?"

The child called the police falsely...

Well, actually it was Hattori Heiji who heard gunshots coming from inside the wall after he turned over the trash can. He thought Xia He was killed, so he immediately ran to the public telephone booth on the side of the road to call the police.

Unexpectedly, after the police arrived, they searched the woods for a long time based on Hattori Heiji's description, but they didn't find a single dead cockroach, let alone a corpse.

It was not until I went to the front desk to ask for the guest information and found the room that I discovered that Xia He was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

This confused Hattori Heiji, and he began to wonder if he was sleepwalking.

"Kids nowadays are really something. They are not like our Xia He, who is smart, sensible, and caring about others." Wakasa Rumi smiled and praised Xia He, "But speaking of which... do you two feel cold?"

Just look, at the dining table, Xia He was wearing a leather jacket that was obviously bigger than his body.

And Shuichi Akai was wearing a scarf.

After hearing Wakasa Rumi's question, both of them answered, "Yes, yes," while eating their breakfast without even looking up.

"I don't know why, maybe it's because the temperature has dropped today?"

cool down?

Isn't it thirty degrees today?

"You two have a cold?"

Wakasa Rumi said, reaching out and touching Xiahe's forehead, "Strange, you don't have a fever either."

There was a hint of doubt on his face.

Seeing this, Xia He and Akai Shuichi stood up from their seats at the same time.

"I'm stuffed."

"Me too."

"Well, let's go back to the room and pack our luggage. After all, we have to catch the Shinkansen in the afternoon."

"Hmm."

As they talked, they walked towards the elevator.

Wakasa Rumi and Miyano Akemi were left looking at their backs in confusion.

Especially Miyano Akemi.

I always feel like... there's something fishy going on.

……

Xia He returned to the hotel room and took off the jacket that Akai Shuichi gave him this morning, revealing a large bruise on his shoulder.

Obviously, these were the scars left from his fight with the masked man, Akai Shuichi, last night.

At the same time, Shuichi Akai, who lived next door to him, had two very obvious fingerprints under his neck after he took off his scarf.

Thinking back to the experience in the early morning, if he had not used his other foot to exert force and move his body slightly upwards at the moment of the hook kick, he might have been hit at the throat by Xia He and died.

"That guy (that kid)... was so cruel." Both of them couldn't help but complain.

But speaking of it, why did Xia He suddenly appear so often beside Miyano Akemi?

Is this really just a coincidence?

Putting the scarf back on, Akai Shuichi frowned and began to think in his mind.

……

Six p.m.

As soon as Xia He returned home, Nakatsuru Hirota came to greet him with Meatball. He originally wanted to go with Xia He, but Xia He insisted on traveling alone, so he had no choice but to ask Wakasa Rumi, who happened to be curious about Miyano Akemi, to help.

"But, young master, Yuanzi came to look for you yesterday. After finding that you were not at home, he became very disappointed."

"Really?" Xia He said nonchalantly, "I'll call her later to explain."

Speaking of which, ever since the "engagement" was signed, Xia Hezhen had begun to avoid Yuanzi intentionally or unintentionally.

There's no way, this girl is just too enthusiastic!

Plus, I’m still young…

You want Xia, an old driver with an adult's mentality, to date an elementary school student who is only eleven or twelve years old?
Isn’t this nonsense?

He felt really guilty both psychologically and morally.

So he thought about it seriously and decided to hide for the time being and wait until the garden grew a little bigger.

"I'm going to take a shower first." Xia He walked straight to the bathroom.

"Where's dinner?" asked Nakatsuru Hirota.

"Sister Liumei is packing food at the restaurant outside. I also asked her to buy some pork meatballs. Let's eat them while watching the movie later."

"Woof woof!!"

……

The following days became relatively dull.

Xia He did not encounter any more murders.

This made him feel a little relieved.

After all, the time has not even entered the "First Year of Conan". If he really replaces Shinichi and becomes the "God of Death", then wouldn't he be doomed for the rest of his life?
What’s different from the past is that although he is often rejected, Xia He still tries to ask Miyano Akemi out every weekend.

This lasted for three months.

[You completed the mission: One step closer to Miyano Akemi]

[Talent acquired: Sharpshooter]

[Sharpshooter: You are extremely talented in shooting. No matter what you shoot, your accuracy is terrifying... (This only applies to firearms. After training, the upper limit can even exceed the effective range)]

marksman……

Xia He raised his eyebrows.

Shouldn't this talent be obtained by pleasing Shuichi Akai?
But then again, every time I made an appointment with Miyano Akemi, Akai Shuichi would show up together, and then I was forced to play the role of a light bulb...

Maybe it has something to do with this aspect.

As for where to practice shooting after gaining the [Sharpshooter] talent...

Putting aside the police academy, there should still be quite a few shooting ranges in Japan.

At worst, when you go to study in the United States, you will definitely have many opportunities to touch real guns.

He was thinking.

"Here's a piece of news..."

The TV suddenly switched to a rescue scene at a car accident.

In the picture, a very beautiful female host with a pair of blue cat eyes is standing next to the ambulance, reporting the accident situation seriously.

Xia He subconsciously glanced at the host's name.

Mizuno Rena?

It seems that he is one of the spies sent by the CIA to go undercover in the winery in the original book?
Calculating the time, by now, she, Furutani Rei, and Morobushi Kagemitsu have most likely successfully joined the winery.

Speaking of Zhufu Jingguang...

Xia He remembered that this guy seemed to have joined the group less than two years ago, but his identity was exposed and he committed suicide in front of Akai Shuichi.

So the question is, should I try to save his life?

This idea just popped up in my mind...

The next moment, the system's task prompt information immediately appeared before his eyes.
