Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 1035 Iori's Selfless Decision

Ooka Toramasa scoffed at Hawkeye's statement, but he had to admit there was some truth to it.

Although he didn't give Hawkeye any face on the surface and even punished him accordingly, he actually forgave him.

"As expected, it is still necessary to have high-end combat capabilities under one's command, otherwise it is impossible to determine the true direction of this battle."

Ooka Toramasa sighed helplessly.

Having navigated the political arena, Hawkeye's combat prowess is already sufficient; with the addition of Iori Muga, there's even less to worry about.

However, this makes it somewhat difficult to take the initiative.

"My lord, should we hire assassins from the underworld?" Hawkeye asked tremblingly, crawling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"Killer?"

That's a new idea.

However, after a moment's thought, he shook his head: "Gin just didn't make it into the so-called dark web rankings, otherwise, with his abilities, becoming the number one assassin wouldn't be a problem."

What I want is to capture or kill the codenamed members under Karasuma Renya's command. Hiring assassins would be like sending myself to my doom.

"No, my Lord."

Hawkeye took a few steps forward and came to Ooka Toramasa's feet. "The assassins on the dark web are still very powerful, especially one called the Thorn Princess. I received information that he fought with Gin, and Gin did not get the better of him."

"Is that so?"

Ooka Toramasa seemed somewhat surprised, but if it could be resolved with money, that would be ideal.

"Go and make arrangements."

"Yes."

After Hawkeye left the room, Iori Muwa walked out from the side.

"master."

Iori Muga greeted him expressionlessly.

In the Ooka family, only Ooka Momiji could bring a smile to his face; the others were just a bunch of hypocritical politicians.

"Hawkeye is getting old."

The room remained silent for a long time.

"I know you came to the Ooka family with ulterior motives, but your protection of Momiji has always been genuine, and you even saved my life."

I'll treat this as if it never happened and take over Hawkeye's duties.

Although Ooka Toramasa was old, the imposing presence in his voice still commanded respect.

Iori Muga never underestimated her opponent and was always very wary of her.

Was it still discovered in the end?
He stepped forward without saying a word, but his meaning was clear: he was leaving the matter to Ōoka Toramasa.

“You are different from Kuroda Hyoue. He could endure for that eye, waiting for the day he could kill the Black Organization with one blow. But you have emotions. Although having emotions while on a mission is a big no-no, I like people like you.”

He would remain with the Ooka family, becoming Momiji's shadow, serving the Ooka family forever and protecting her safety.

The Ooka family will eventually fall into her hands; I don't trust anyone else to protect them.

In truth, Ōoka Toramasa was also powerless; if he had a better option, he wouldn't have spoken to Iori Muga like that.

Unfortunately, he realized this too late. The Ooka family may seem powerful now, but in reality, it is hollow and powerless inside.

The moment he dies, this political edifice will crumble.

Therefore, he had to find someone for Hongye who could protect her safety and support her growth.

"My purpose in joining the Public Security Bureau is to protect the security of this country."

But my thinking changed two years ago. Around that time, Kuroda asked me to stay, so I did.

With her head bowed and her emotions completely calm, Iori Muga continued, "I can stay to protect Momiji, but I will never betray the interests of the country for the sake of the Ooka family!"

"Those annoying public security doctrines." Ooka Toramasa sighed inwardly and nodded slightly: "Okay."

At this point, a subtle change occurred in the Ōoka family.

From today onwards, Iori Muga is not only Ooka Momiji's bodyguard, but also the actual person in charge of the bodyguard team.

His contact with the police will also be severed starting today.

Before long, Kuroda Hyōe will find that he can no longer contact Iori Muga.

"What a difficult decision!"

As soon as Iori Muga stepped out the door, a voice rang out from behind him.

That was Hawkeye's voice.

Although Hawkeye had been preparing for this day, he still felt somewhat dejected when it actually arrived.

Once upon a time, he walked out of that door with great pride, and then all the armed forces of the Ooka family became his arms, which he could command at will.

"Now that I've made the decision, I'll do my best."

When Iori Muga turned around, Hawkeye noticed that the other person's eyes were somewhat similar to Akai Shuichi's.

Those two guys.
"Congratulations, new head butler."

Hawkeye put his hands in his pockets, ignoring Iori's hand that wanted to shake his, turned around, and walked away forlornly.

The situation has changed dramatically, which was actually within Xia Chuan's expectations.

"Ania, when we get to the Mouri Detective Agency, listen carefully to Conan's inner thoughts."

"Is it finally Anya's turn to appear?" Anya spun around 360 degrees until she felt dizzy before stopping.

"Don't worry, Father, leave this to Anya."

The little girl, with an exaggerated smile, wore sunglasses and walked ahead of Xia Chuan to the Mouri Detective Agency.

"Boom boom boom——"

When Xiaolan opened the door, she was surprised to find Xia Chuan and Anya inside.

Xia Chuan hasn't come to our house for a while.

Kogoro Mouri sat leisurely in his seat, repeating the same old things: horse racing, beer, Yoko Okino, or sleeping.

Life is quite enjoyable.

"Brother Xia Chuan, it's been several days. Have you received some kind of commission? Why don't you share it with your older brother?"

Kogoro Mouri hasn't received any big requests for a while.

The largest commission is 200,000 yen, and the smallest is 50,000 yen. If this continues, we won't be able to make a living.

I suddenly miss the days when rice flower cases were frequent.

Back then, my name appeared in the newspaper every day, which was essentially an invisible and free form of advertising.

"Ania's here too. I'll go downstairs and buy a cake and some cocoa." Xiaolan already knew Anya's hobbies perfectly, and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Xiaolan really likes this cute little boy.

She's cute, and her way of speaking is adorable. Plus, Natsukawa is her father's good friend. With all these factors combined, the level of affection she receives is no less than that of Conan.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Xiaolan."

Ran went downstairs to buy something, and Natsukawa and Kogoro Mouri chatted about the recent news reports.

"Hey, have you heard? A couple of days ago, there was a large-scale firefight near Chiba in Tokyo. Inspector Megure said that quite a few people died." Kogoro Mouri said mysteriously.

"Really? Then Inspector Megure is going to be furious."

"You wouldn't know this," Kogoro Mouri said smugly. "The police have taken over the case, and I heard they handled it very carelessly, without conducting any in-depth investigation."
