Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 1017 Additional Reinforcements
Xia Chuan and Akai Muwu had a pleasant conversation.

Tsutomu Akai is quite different from Shuichi Akai.

He will be more stable and know better how to advance and retreat. While considering the gains and losses, he will also give some thought to emotions.

Shuichi Akai, perhaps due to his family background, had previously been reckless and indifferent. If it weren't for his high intelligence and agility, he would have easily died.

Because of these shortcomings, Xia Chuan would choose to take advantage of him, but would never cooperate with him.

"Mr. Akai, how would you like to cooperate?"

A smile spread across Tsutomu Akai's face, his stubble spreading out like a hedgehog's quills.

"Since Gin has prepared a trap, we definitely have to jump into it, otherwise his efforts will have been in vain."

Quite courageous.

The distillery's focus is now on the White Horse Research Institute, and the base is definitely meant to be used as bait, as can be seen from the last text message Gin sent to Tequila.

If they cooperate with Tsutomu Akai, they can shift the blame for Tequila's identity to the FBI or the Akai family, and at the same time, it will put Gin and Renya Karasuma at ease.

Their biggest worry is not that others will take action, but that others will not take action.

“We can jump in, but Gin and his group have big appetites, and we don’t have enough people right now.”

Tsutomu Akai, Shuichi Akai, and him—three people.

As for Yoru and Kaito, Natsukawa definitely won't let them get involved.

Conan stood silently between the two, hoping that his brilliance would be seen.

However, both Natsukawa and Akai Tsutomu chose to pretend they didn't see it.

LOL

What can a five or six-year-old child do? Even with Professor Agasa's inventions, he'll still have to face Gin and his team of brewery members, as well as an unknown number of outsiders.

If you just fire a few shots at Conan, how many bullets can he dodge?

If Natsukawa were to allow the other party to participate, Kudo Yusaku would probably rush back from the United States.

"Of course, it's not just us."

Akai Tsutomu touched his chin, a smile playing on his lips. He was no longer as heavy-hearted as before, and walked to the sofa to sit down.

“Someone will cooperate with us.”

anyone?

Even if it's not the FBI, Conan's expression seems a bit surprised; he didn't know either?
"Hideyoshi has already persuaded Ōoka Toramasa."

"Huh?" Xia Chuan was genuinely surprised this time.

He never expected to catch such a big fish.

In Japan, Ooka Toramasa has connections, status, and manpower, but he is associated with Karasuma Renya. Isn't he worried that the brewery will expose his secrets?

"I only learned about the past yesterday from Hideyoshi's account of what happened before. It turns out that the Ooka family had some dealings with Karasuma Renya."

“I had Hideyoshi tell him about Mary, so he agreed to cooperate with us, but in the end we need the brewery’s research data on APTX4869 and Mary.”

The thought of his wife becoming a test subject always makes Akai Tsutomu's forehead veins throb.

At this point, it seems there is no other way.

The FBI is no longer able to provide any support. If Shuichi Akai dares to return to the United States now, he will definitely be handcuffed by the FBI director.

Therefore, cooperating with the Ooka family is the best option.

"It's like trying to get something from a tiger, but it seems like doing so can indeed minimize the losses."

“Natsukawa-san, Akai-san, Ooka Toramasa has always had a very bad reputation. News of his competitors’ deaths often breaks out. It’s too dangerous to cooperate with him.”

Conan suddenly stepped forward.

His eyes swept back and forth between Natsukawa and Akai Tsutomu's faces. "If the FBI can't be used, why not MI6?" Natsukawa:
Is the police really not going to consider this, kid?

"The cooperation has been reached. Even if there is danger, we must go. If we don't give Karasuma Renya some feedback and a sense of urgency, he will never show up."

"Decades have passed, and this is the only chance."

Tsutomu Akai patted Conan's head and said softly, "And you, Shinichi Kudo, I will equip some combat personnel with wireless cameras. You can keep an eye on things from behind and help us make choices at certain times from a strategic perspective."

huh?

Conan was somewhat surprised. He thought he had been excluded, but unexpectedly, Akai Tsutomu had arranged a job for him.

"Don't be surprised, after all, your family has excellent genes."

"Huh, does Uncle Akai Tsutomu know my dad?"

Conan never expected that the important task he was entrusted with would also involve his father's contributions.

"You mean Mr. Yusaku Kudo? He is indeed a very talented mystery novelist, and he is also very good at solving cases."

“Back when I was in England, I witnessed him solve cases there very quickly.”

Akai Tsutomu suddenly stopped and shrugged: "But I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about another person from your family."

"But he's supposedly dead now, otherwise I really wanted his help."

Who is it?

Conan was confused.

Besides my parents, there seems to be no one else in my family, right?
Several of his grandfathers had passed away before he was born. Could he be referring to them?
Conan's doubts caught Natsukawa's attention.

Xia Chuan's eyes darted around, and he squatted down, smiling as he looked at Conan: "Hey, from what you're saying, Conan does look a lot like that guy's kid."

"Ah, I've never seen his children, but I've seen him when he was young."

Well, these two riddle solvers are clearly playing a trick on themselves and are unwilling to explain themselves clearly.

Conan immediately ran to the side and started making a phone call.

Seeing this, Natsukawa's smile faded. He glanced at the silent Akai Shuichi and slowly said, "Regardless of the Ooka family's motives, we must remain vigilant when cooperating. Have we set a time?"

"No, I was waiting for you before, but now I can confirm the time. The Ooka family is ready anytime."

"In that case, let's do it in three days." Xia Chuan needed a little more time to hand over the surveillance mission in the hot spring village.

Indeed, Kenichi Takahashi has been at the hot spring village for too long; it's time for a change.

“Okay, then I’ll arrange for the Ooka family to familiarize themselves with the terrain and take their positions over the next couple of days.”

Gin chose a very tricky location this time. The villa is located in a mountainous area with only one main road leading to it, and then you have to cross a suspension bridge. If a large group of people were to go there, they would definitely be discovered.

You can do a lot in three days.

For example, gradually send people in, and then open up a new passage.

The passageway doesn't have to be easy to navigate, but it must be well hidden.

We can't exactly let the Ooka family use helicopters, can we?

This is impossible. Although the Ooka family is willing to provide men, they only provide small fry and no one to command them.

Clearly, they were also assuming that Gin had discovered the intruders were from the Ooka family.

"You can arrange it as you like. I might bring someone with me, but it's not confirmed yet. Just arrange it as if I were the only one."

Just as Xia Chuan was about to leave, the other person suddenly called him back.

"You should know where it is, I don't need to give you the address again, right?"

"No need, I know," Xia Chuan replied without turning his head.
