Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 54 Impossible, absolutely impossible

"It's worthy of being Miss Okino Yoko's residence. It looks so grand just from the outside!"

On the roadside, Kogoro Mouri looked up at the tall buildings in front of him and shouted excitedly.

Seeing this, Yoko Okino's agent immediately warned, "Keep your voice down, Mr. Maori, it's a secret that Miss Okino Yoko lives here!"

"Ah? Sorry, sorry..." Kogoro Mouri scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

At the same time, Xia He also got out of the taxi, looked at Conan and the other two and said, "Hey, why are you here?"

"Huh? You little brat again?" Mouri Kogoro turned and looked at Xia He.

"Hello, uncle." Xia He nodded and greeted him.

"You said that this child lives in our house and we give him 200,000 yen a month for living expenses. Don't deny it."

"How could I deny it? Uncle Maori...don't just use the money to smoke and drink, you should give Conan more nutrition. After all, a six-year-old child is in the growth stage now."

Mouri Kogoro: "."

Hey, how does this kid talk?
It's as if your uncle has no other income except the living expenses you give him.

"Nene, Xia He brother, what are you doing here?" Conan came over and tugged at Xia He's clothes, and said in a deliberately cute voice: "Are you here to look for Sister Yoko too?"

It can be seen that Conan has already adapted to his "new identity" after only moving in for two days.

"Well, I'll ask her to endorse my milk tea. The endorsement fee is 150 million yen a year." Xia He nodded.

However, upon hearing this number, Maori Kogoro suddenly became a little uneasy, "One hundred and fifty million?! That much?"

"After all, Ms. Okino Yoko is now the most popular idol in Japan, so this amount of money is not too much."

The most important thing is that with only one year's endorsement fee, Yoko Okino can be the spokesperson for decades...

Xia Hexin said that this deal was really too good to be true.

"What about you?" he asked.

"Uncle received a request from Sister Yoko, saying that she seemed to be being monitored, so he asked us to go to her house to take a look." Conan answered immediately.

"Wang!"

"Hey, why did you bring the dog here?" Xiaolan glanced at Rouwan, who was running back and forth under Xia He's crotch and had tightly wrapped Xia He's right leg with the dog leash, and couldn't help but smile.

"It's been three years since I last took it for a walk. I thought I'd take it out for a walk more often." Xia He said as he started to circle in the opposite direction, trying to free it from the restraints.

Speaking of which, Rouwan is already sixteen years old, just like Xia He.

For a Border Collie, whose lifespan is mostly only twelve to fifteen years, it can be considered an old dog with half its body already buried in the ground.

But Xia He was not worried at all.

It was because when he went to the pet hospital to have Rouwan checked out two days ago, the doctor said that based on the dog's current health condition, he could probably live for less than a year at most.

When Xia He heard this, he laughed on the spot.

He knew it was a sure thing.

This dog will definitely not die from now on.

"Be good, be good." Seeing this, Conan also wanted to reach out to tease the dog, but before he could touch it, Meatball pushed him away with his paw with disgust.

Conan: "?"

"Have you ever touched other dogs before coming here?" Xia He said, "Rouwan is very sensitive. If I have hugged other dogs outside, it will not let me touch it after I get home."

"I rode a Labrador Retriever the day before yesterday... Could it be because the clothes were not washed?" Conan said, and began to smell the smell on his body.

"That's probably the reason."

Is this the kidnapping of the chairman’s daughter?
Xia He thought to himself.

It is worth mentioning that because Conan often rode Meatball around when he was a child, he was particularly adept at riding a dog to find people this time.

Take the elevator with Conan and others.

While waiting, Xia He realized a problem.

Since Conan has already appeared here, doesn’t that mean... a case is going to happen soon?

As expected.

"what!"

As soon as I opened the door with the key, Yoko Okino let out a scream.

As a die-hard fan, Maori Kogoro rushed over immediately and saw a body lying on the ground with a western-style kitchen knife stuck in its back. "There's really a dead person."

Xia He, who was following closely behind Maori Kogoro, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he saw this situation.

……

In addition to Conan, there were three other little ghosts who came along this time.

Genta Kojima, Ayumi Yoshida, and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.

Yes, the four-member Detective Boys team is all here today.

"Big brother, you look so tall~~" Ayumi tilted her head and looked at Xia He with twinkling eyes.

"Big brother, how tall are you? Are you two meters?" Yuantai also asked.

"One meter eighty-seven." Xia He answered with a smile.

There's nothing I can do, it grows too fast.

Especially during the three years I spent in the United States, it was like I was taking hormones.

"By the way, big brother, why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

"no."

Xia Hexin said, when I became famous on TV three years ago, you were only three years old, so there is no reason why you would recognize me.

But Ayumi suddenly reacted, and said with an expression of sudden enlightenment: "I remember now! My mother is your fan, and she has a picture of you in her room!"

Xia He: "?"

Here, Xia He was holding Rouwan's hand and chatting with three children.

On the other side, Conan was dragged out of the room by Kogoro Mouri because he disturbed the scene.

"Damn it! Everyone already knows the method of committing the crime, but no one believes me!"

He pounded the floor unwillingly, then raised his head and his eyes met Xia He, who happened to be looking down at him.

……

Xia He originally wanted to wait until Conan solved the case before going in to discuss the endorsement matters with Okino Yoko.

But he forgot one thing.

That is... because Dr. Agasa has been away on a trip recently, Conan now seems to be without a bow voice changer.

This also means that he can no longer hide behind Kogoro Mori and solve the case secretly as in the original work.

But in the final analysis, it's Xia He's fault.

If he hadn't helped Dr. Agasa find true love, how could such a butterfly effect have occurred?
"I know the truth of the case." Just when the police and Kogoro Mouri and others were confused about the progress of the case, Xia He took the initiative to enter the room and spoke.

"Oh, brother Xia He, you are here too!" Seeing this, Megure Jusan greeted Xia He enthusiastically.

Although I haven't seen Xia He for some years, the scene of holding the little Xia He and buying him ice cream seems like it happened yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, this child has grown so tall?
"You just said that you know the truth of the case?"

"Yes." Xia He nodded, "The deceased actually died of suicide."

"Are you kidding me, kid? The knife was stuck in the dead person's back. Can this be suicide?" Kogoro Mouri immediately questioned.

"Freeze the knife in ice in advance, stand it on the ground, turn up the temperature of the indoor air conditioner, then stand on a chair, aim at the position of the knife and fall backwards, and you can achieve the effect of suicide. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a hole on the floor below the body to fix the knife handle, right?
Afterwards, the ice quickly dissolved as the room temperature rose and mixed with the blood of the deceased, which is why the blood stains on the back of the corpse are relatively lighter. "

“There really is a hole…”

"That's amazing, brother Xia He. You can even deduce this?"

Megure Jusan patted Xia He's shoulder with a smile on his face.

However, Conan, who was standing behind Xia He, was obviously unhappy.

Haha, no one believed me when I said it just now, but you all believed me as soon as Xia He said it, right?
No respect for children at all!

But then again...

I haven't even told him the information I gathered yet. How did that guy deduce it?
Could it be that just by taking a quick look inside, you would know everything?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Conan shook his head and subconsciously denied it in his heart.
