Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 68 Perception of murderous intent

By the time Xia He climbed over mountains and hills and arrived at a place with signal at the foot of the mountain alone, dialed the police number and called for helicopter rescue, it was already ten o'clock the next morning.

In fact, it would definitely be a lot more convenient for him if he used a hang glider. After all, some time ago, Dr. Agasa had stuffed the hang glider into the weight suit he was wearing as part of his weight at his request.

It can be turned on and used anytime and anywhere, which is so convenient.

But if I really use it, what if people mistake me for Kaito Kid?
It was nothing for him, since he was flying so fast, others couldn't take a clear picture of his face.

Kuroba Kaito has a lot to consider.

For example, your father who had been "dead" for many years suddenly came back to life...

[Talent acquired: Killing Intent Sense]

[Killing Intent Perception: You can now sense the murderous intent, and can accurately identify the target and source of the murderous intent.]

This skill is quite cool!
Xia He's eyes lit up.

In this way, I will be able to identify who the murderer is at the first moment even without having to recall the plot.

However, the attribute points given here only add 3 points to each item...

Tsk, I still didn’t get enough.

I should have waited until that guy ran far away, then chased him into the woods and teased him for a while.

Xia He thought to himself.

……

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"Police, hurry, protect me! Don't let him come over, he will punch me to death!" In the interrogation room, Takahashi Ryoichi grabbed Ida Ko's arm and said with horror on his face.

Xia He was sitting at the other end of the table, and standing in front of him was Takagi Wataru who was taking a statement.

"Um...Sakuno Natsukazu, right? Have you ever beaten this prisoner?" asked Takagi Wataru.

Xia He answered truthfully: "No, the injury on his foot was also twisted when he jumped off the building."

"He forced me to jump off the building!" Takahashi Ryoichi suddenly shouted.

Takagi Wataru: "?"

No, you are a murderer and he is just a sixteen-year-old kid. Can he force you to jump off the building?

Are you kidding me?

Takagi Wataru, who was not quite sure who Xia He was, curled his lips and looked at Takahashi Ryoichi with his half-moon eyes.

"It's true! He even bent the crowbar with one punch! Oh, and he lifted up such a big table in a flash, and even did more than 50 squats with it!"

Takagi Wataru: “.”

Date Hang: “.”

Takahashi Ryoichi was extremely anxious.

However, Gao Mushi ignored him and continued to ask Xia He, "So, you just said that he dismembered the dead body first and then hid the head in his stomach?"

"Yeah, that's right."

The two gasped.

I thought this guy was quite cruel, but you couldn't tell from his appearance.

"Also, I feel like he is pretending to be crazy now in order to get a reduced sentence." Xia He added at this time.

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of murderous intent burst out from Takahashi Ryoichi.

Well, it’s directed at Xia He.

Xia He noticed it immediately.

However, it turns out that murderous aura feels like this, dull, depressing, and a little creepy.

He touched his chin and thought that he was too kind. He should have beaten this guy up last night. After taking the statement, Ida Hang found Xia He and said, "Matsuda asked me to go drink with him after get off work. Do you want to come?"

"Okay, but I can only drink juice." Xia He nodded in response.

It is a law in Japan that minors cannot drink alcohol, and there is really nothing he can do about it.

But fortunately, he doesn't really like drinking that stuff. Compared to alcohol, he still prefers juice and cola...

……

"Hey, Xia He, are you here?"

Wearing a pair of sunglasses and a black suit, Jinpei Matsuda greeted Xia He.

Maybe it was because of his revenge, but Jinpei Matsuda regained his confidence and cheerfulness as he did in the police academy, even with a bit of a ruffian vibe.

But he only behaves like this when facing people he is familiar with. On weekdays, he is still very mature and steady when handling cases.

Seeing this, Xia He and Yi Dahang walked straight over and sat down.

"Have you ordered?" he asked.

"No, we're waiting for you to treat us." Jinpei Matsuda grinned.

Having not seen him for many years, he really missed this guy.

"I heard that you opened a milk tea shop recently?"

"Well, I like milk tea, so I created my own brand."

"That's good. Life like this is pretty easy. When I don't want to work anymore, I'll go work as a clerk in your store. You have to take me in."

"No problem, I'll just let you be the store manager."

They chatted and laughed, raised their glasses and clinked them together.

Soon, two hours later.

After eating and drinking, the three people sat on the bench at the bus stop waiting for the bus.

The drunken Matsuda Jinpei suddenly asked Xia He, "Do you still remember the criminal who was arrested three years ago... who killed Hagi?"

"Remember, what happened to him?" Xia He nodded.

"He was put into a mental hospital not long after he was arrested. Every day he kept saying that Hagi had resurrected and was coming to kill him, or that Hagi had turned into a child. Do you know what's going on?"

"How could I possibly know?"

"Yeah……"

After looking at Xia He's puzzled expression, Matsuda Jinpei burped and then became thoughtful.

……

When Xia He returned to the vicinity of his residence, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

He first packed some midnight snacks on the roadside, and then went to Dr. Agasa's house, intending to feed it to Masashi who stayed in the basement all day.

Unexpectedly, just as I reached the door and before I could push it open, I suddenly noticed some movement coming from next door.

Xia He immediately raised his eyebrows.

Is there a thief?
This was the first guess that came to his mind.

After all, ever since the Kudo couple moved to the United States and Shinichi became Conan, no one has entered that house for a long time.

So out of curiosity, he immediately hid behind the wall at the corner and secretly observed through the gap in the wall.

And as expected...

More than ten minutes later, a figure walked out of the Xin family.

With the help of [Night Vision] and [Eagle Eyes], Xia He could see the figure's appearance at a glance.

She is a very tall woman.

She was wearing a white coat with a dark red long-sleeved pullover underneath. Her facial features were very delicate, and she had the same short brown hair as Sonoko, but it was slightly curled.

"is her?"
