Rebirth from Conan
Chapter 84 Have you eaten?
Chapter 84 Have you eaten?
“Shiratori, didn’t you go to Karuizawa for vacation?” Megure Jusan asked curiously as he looked at Shiratori Rensaburo who appeared in front of him.
“Ah, it’s too boring to stay in the villa, so I came here.” Shiratori Renzaburo scratched his cheek, “But, Officer Megure, why are you here?”
“It’s Morifushi Kagemitsu. That guy called me last night and said that Kidd would definitely sneak into this ship today and steal the Egg of Memory again… I thought since I have nothing to do, I might as well come and help.” Megure Jusan replied.
“Zhu Fu Jingguang?” Shiratori Renzaburo was stunned.
“Yeah, that kid’s intuition is always very accurate.” Megure Jusan said with a smile.
“Officer Megure, I think you just want to visit the Suzuki Group’s luxury cruise ship, right?”
The person who spoke was Date Kou, who was holding a toothpick in his mouth. He walked over with Takagi Wataru and teased Megure Jusan.
Megure Jusan didn’t refute when he heard this. After all, who wouldn’t be happy to be able to go out and have fun while getting paid during working hours?
“Shiratori, you too, you finally got a vacation, but you came all the way back. Aren’t you too dedicated?”
“Ha, I also think that the villa in Karuizawa cannot compare to the cruise ship of the Suzuki family. It’s a good opportunity for me to come here to broaden my horizons.” Shiratori Renzaburo scratched his head again.
“By the way, Shiratori, are you hungry?”
“Kind of.”
“I just saw some Boston lobsters over there. Come on, I’ll take you to eat some.” Ida Ko said, grabbing the necks of Shiratori Rensaburo and Takagi Wataru and walking forward happily.
……
About an hour later.
After showing off his lobster, “Shiratori Renzaburo” appeared on the passenger corridor of the cruise ship.
There is no doubt that he was naturally Xia He in disguise.
According to the original plot, Kuroba Kaito, who was supposed to disguise himself as Shiratori Jinsaburo, has now disguised himself as Xia He.
Xia He, who had agreed to lend his identity to Kuroba Kaito, had to take his place and exchange roles with him.
After all, Shiratori Jinzaburo’s height and body shape are very similar to him, so it is too easy for him to play the role compared to other people on the ship.
All he needs to do now is do nothing.
Don’t make any noise, don’t attract anyone’s attention, just follow Conan, Kosaka Natsumi and others to the villa and find the second egg, then the mission can be easily completed.
Thinking of this, Xia He immediately lay down on the big bed in the room and admired the sea view outside through the window.
Well, except for the lack of game consoles and computers, it is not much different from the previous luxury suite.
But during this moment of his rest…
dong dong!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Xia He got up from the bed and just opened the door when he saw a man holding a camera suddenly come in and shoot him for two seconds. Then he pouted his lips in disgust and said, “What? Why is it a man? I thought there was a girl living in this room.”
After saying that, he walked away without looking back.
Xia He was left standing there in confusion.
At the same time, Xiaolan and Sonoko came over and said, “Ignore that guy, he’s annoying.”
“By the way, Officer Shiratori, would you like to go to Xiaolan’s room for some tea and snacks? Let’s get together.” Sonoko invited Xia He.
“Okay.” Xia He said, and his eyes immediately met with Kuroba Kaito who was standing next to the garden.
Kuroba Kaito smiled and nodded at him.
Very good, I have passed the first level.
Xia He thought to himself.
He was afraid that this guy would recognize him, which would result in the failure of the mission.
Soon, Natsuki, Sonoko, Kaito, Urashi Seiran, and Kosaka Natsumi appeared together in the room of Xiaolan and Conan.
After the waiters brought in a large amount of snacks and tea, several women began to chat.
“By the way, Miss Qinglan’s eyes are grey.”
“Are all Chinese people’s eyes gray?” “Not all…” Pu Siqinglan replied.
“Miss Qinglan’s name means blue orchid?” Xiaolan smiled and looked at Pu Siqinglan and said, “My name ‘Maori Lan’ also has the word ‘Lan’ in it.”
“You are reading it in Japanese pronunciation. In Chinese, it is pronounced ‘qinglan’.”
Pu Siqinglan pronounced the Chinese word “Qinglan” in a very awkward manner.
Xia He couldn’t help but look at her.
Then, she began to explain to others the Chinese pronunciations of everyone’s Japanese names.
“Ms. Maori’s last name is pronounced ‘Maoli’ in Chinese.”
“Ms. Xia Mei’s name in Chinese is pronounced ‘Xiangban Xia Mei’.”
Pu Siqinglan is still doing popular science.
And so far, it’s actually not that bad. At least apart from her pronunciation being so up and down that it’s hard to tell whether she’s speaking Chinese or not, there are almost no other shortcomings.
Until she pronounced “Suzuki Sonoko” as “Suzuki Meatball”…
Xia He, who was drinking tea, finally couldn’t help but spit it out.
No, why did it suddenly call my dog?
“What’s wrong with you, Officer Shiratori?” Everyone looked at Xia He in confusion.
Xia He wiped the tea stains from his mouth and replied awkwardly: “No…nothing, I choked accidentally.”
“By the way, Xia He, aren’t you proficient in languages of various countries? Do you want to try having a conversation with Miss Qinglan?” Yuanzi suddenly said.
Xia He opened his mouth again when he heard that, but he quickly realized that Sonoko was calling Kuroba Kaito who had disguised himself as him.
After all, he has possessed the two talents of [photographic memory] and [absolute concentration] since he was a child. It can be said that he is simply blessed by God in terms of languages.
English, French, German, Thai, Russian, Spanish…
As long as it is not a particularly niche language, he can basically speak it.
It seemed as if his brain capacity was endless, which made Xia He’s classmates envious.
As for Chinese…
I was a Chinese in my previous life, so do I still need to learn this stuff?
However, Kuroba Kaito was suddenly tested on Chinese and was immediately confused.
I thought to myself that I had never heard of this kind of segment before I did the cross-dressing.
It was not until a long while later that Yuanzi poked his arm with her elbow that he came back to his senses. He then began to introduce himself to Pu Siqinglan in very poor Chinese: “Hello… Hello, my name is Xia He… I am seventeen years old.”
“My name is Pu Siqinglan, I’m twenty…seventeen years old. Have you eaten?”
“I’ve eaten. The food here is… delicious.”
“Yes…delicious!”
Xia He: “.”
This time he didn’t spit out the tea, but just froze in place.
Can you imagine this picture?
Two foreigners who were at best beginners, speaking words to each other that even kindergarteners know, and pretending to be good at Chinese…
Fortunately, except Xia He, no one present understood Chinese.
About two minutes later, the two who had finished demonstrating their “lifelong learning” saw that everyone except Shiratori Rensaburo had expressions of admiration. They heaved a sigh of relief and turned their heads away, stealthily wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
At the same time, Kaito couldn’t help but feel grateful to Pu Siqinglan: “She is such a good person. She didn’t expose me like this. I guess she must be thinking about my face, right?”
however……
“He wasn’t even discovered? It seems that guy’s Chinese is not that good. He is probably a man who likes to put on airs in front of his girlfriend.”
Pu Siqinglan thought so.
