Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 65 Negative Emotions
Should I care or not?

Xia He held a persimmon in his mouth and thought to himself.

If it was an innocent person, he would definitely stop it without saying a word.

However, the woman in front of me, Chikako Ikeda, once killed another girl because of plagiarism...

In this case, does she deserve to die?
However, although plagiarism is shameful, it should not be a capital crime, right?
He began to get entangled.

……

"I'm going to make dinner now, you guys just take a break."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Suzuki Ayako quickly spoke.

Similarly, Takahashi Ryoichi also stood up at this time, "It's going to rain heavily soon. I just saw that the roof outside seems to be damaged. I'll go fix it to prevent it from leaking later."

He is responsible for making props in the film club.

Not only does he have strong hands-on skills, he is also very strong.

Those who often dismember corpses should all know that human bones are very strong. In order to cut off the limbs intact and quickly, both technique and strength are essential.

Coincidentally, Ryoichi Takahashi has just such conditions.

"Thank you so much, Takahashi. Please be safe."

"Ah."

Takahashi Ryoichi responded and then went upstairs with the repair tools.

No one noticed the ruthlessness revealed on his face at this moment.

Xia He glanced at Takahashi Ryoichi's back.

He knew that this guy was probably about to start preparing to kill someone.

"Since we've met, I might as well help him..." he muttered to himself.

After all, now that we are here, we can’t just watch such a vicious murder happen in front of our eyes and remain indifferent, right?
So he began to think about countermeasures.

First of all, you certainly cannot directly expose the fact that Takahashi Ryoichi is the bandage monster. After all, it is useless to expose it. You can't call the police to have him arrested just because his dress is unique, right?

Secondly, that guy hasn't killed anyone yet, so you have even less reason to punish him.

After much thought, he finally came up with only one solution - wait until Takahashi Ryoichi takes action and catch him in the act.

Unexpectedly, just as this thought came to his mind, a new prompt popped up in the system:
[Unlock Mission: Bandage Monster's Good Friday]

[Make the murderer feel negative emotions until he is arrested. The higher the murderer's negative emotions are, the more rewards you will get.]

[Current negative emotions: 0]

Xia He: "?"

……

Outside the window, the rain is falling.

Xia He was sitting in the living room on the first floor of the villa, playing the poker game with Hiroki Kakutani and others.

However, after several rounds, Xia He and Conan's faces were still clean.

On the other hand, Hiroki Kakutani, Sonoko Suzuki and others had already been covered with white strips of paper.

at the same time.

Ota Sheng pushed Xiaolan against the wall and said, "Miss, how about going for a walk outside with me?"

"Ah...but it's raining outside now." Xiaolan refused politely.

Obviously, she was not very interested in the long-haired handsome guy in front of her.

"Don't you think it's romantic to walk in the rain?" Ota Katsu was still unwilling to give up. While saying this, he even grabbed Xiaolan's hand and tried to take her away directly.

Seeing this, Conan was so anxious that he almost crushed the cards in his hand.

Fortunately, Xia He suddenly said, "Sorry, she has a boyfriend."

"If I remember correctly, you should be Sonoko's fiancé, right?" Ota Masaru turned to look at Xia He. "Her boyfriend is not me, but Kudo Shinichi."

"Kudo Shinichi?"

"Yeah, haven't you heard of the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era? He's the one who was hailed as the savior of the Japanese police by the media some time ago."

"Is that the famous high school detective?"

Everyone blinked when they heard that, and then all their eyes turned to Xiaolan.

"Is what he said true? Do you really have a boyfriend?" asked Ota Katsu.

Perhaps she really didn't want to go out with Ota Masaru, so Xiaolan didn't choose to refute, but just lowered her head, as if she agreed.

Seeing this, Yuanzi smiled evilly.

Conan stared at the poker in his hand with his small eyes, and two blushes appeared on his cheeks.

……

Outside the villa.

forest.

Ryoichi Takahashi, who once again dressed himself up as a bandage monster, was hiding behind a big tree, quietly waiting for the "prey" to take the bait.

The reason why he showed such emotion towards Xia He before was because he was too nervous inside.

There was no way. The news about Xia He knocking down an armed gangster with his bare hands when he was thirteen years old had been broadcast countless times in Japan. In addition, with his various martial arts champion and detective titles, it was naturally impossible to say that he was not afraid.

But he couldn't think of any way to drive Xia He down the mountain for the time being, so he could only put it behind his mind and concentrate on ambushing Xiaolan here.

Just now, his old classmate Katsuto Ota had told him that he was very interested in the girl with the prominent hairstyle and planned to ask her out for a walk before dinner.

He has always been confident in Ota Masaru's ability to pick up girls, so he came here in advance to wait.

As for why he wanted to kill Xiaolan...

This was because Xiaolan had accidentally broken into his room and saw him without a shirt on.

He is actually not fat at all, his face is just a little bit bigger.

Pretending to have a beer belly was also to make it easier to hide the dead person's head in his stomach after dismembering the body.

Therefore, when his plan was discovered, he had to kill Xiaolan before she remembered anything about it.

"Hu~~"

Takahashi Ryoichi took a deep breath.

The sun was about to set, and the continuous drizzle gradually became heavier. He actually began to feel a little cold.

"It's okay, just wait a little longer, you will definitely get there."

He muttered to himself, then sniffed and lowered the brim of his hat.

However, an hour passed.

The surroundings were still quiet. Not to mention people, not even a bug was seen.

It shouldn't be...

You know, during his four years in college, Ota Masaru rarely failed because of his outstanding looks.

"Could it be that he had diarrhea, and that's why he was delayed?"

Thinking of this, he wiped the rain off his face and continued to wait, still a little unconvinced.

……

same moment.

Xia He, who was teaching Conan and Sonoko how to play Landlord, suddenly had this prompt pop up in his mind: [You gained resentment from the bandaged monster +20]

[Current negative emotions: 35]
