Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 195 I want a child with Joel!
Xia Chuan's lips twitched, and he glanced back at Professor Agasa, indicating that he needed an explanation from him.

Despite his doubts, he was actually quite happy.

It's not bad that Ai Haibara came up to us asking to be adopted without us even having to ask.

What's going on today.

Gin delivered himself to their door asking for explosives, and Sherry also delivered herself to their door asking to be taken in.

Today seems to be his lucky day.
No, Gin doesn't deliver himself to the door; he picks up the package along with the door.

The deal was done, but Xia Chuan couldn't get a single penny from the other party.

Having just spent 9 billion yen, he's still so frugal. He's not only a model worker, but also a damn tightwad.

"Ai must have suffered from fever-induced amnesia, which is why she forgot where she lives."

This case of amnesia is somewhat special; the recovery time is uncertain. It may recover soon, or it may take a year and a half. The timeframe is unpredictable.

"She couldn't be homeless during the time she was suffering from amnesia, so I wanted to take her in."

Dr. Agasa suddenly sighed and shook his head: "As you know, once I start researching, I get completely absorbed and can't take good care of Ai."

Therefore, Ai might need your help taking care of her for the next period of time.

"It's alright, I've already asked my friends at the Metropolitan Police Department for help. As soon as we find Ai's parents, we'll send her back immediately."

Dr. Agasa thinks it's fine and shouldn't seem out of place.

Xia Chuan saw the person. Now the child can't find his parents, so it shouldn't be a big problem for the person who rescued him to take him in.

Moreover, the Natsukawa family also has Anya, so having Ai go back with her would keep Anya company.

Playing with the dog every day isn't a solution; it seems my intelligence is about to resonate with the dog's.

Well.
Xia Chuan rolled his eyes. High fever-induced amnesia? What a lame excuse Dr. Agasa came up with.

Even though he wasn't a doctor, he still found it absurd and the excuse too perfunctory, so Natsukawa didn't believe him.

However, he didn't expose her, and instead asked, "Ai, so you still remember your name, right?"

Xia Chuan did not agree directly. Now it was not that he wanted to take in Haibara Ai, but that the other party wanted him to take her in, so he could naturally maintain his status.

You can't let the other person into your home too easily; after all, things that are hard-earned should be cherished.

"No, this is the name I just gave myself." Haibara composed herself and returned to normal.

As long as she doesn't encounter anyone from the Black Organization, she has no problem controlling her facial expressions.

"It's a newly chosen name, so what's your full name?"

"Ai Haibara." Conan answered before Ai Haibara could, then teased, "I just discovered that Haibara seems to be quite smart. I gave her a first-grade homework book, and she finished it very quickly."

She even asked some questions about second and third grade, which she answered perfectly. If Uncle Xia Chuan were to adopt her, it might even improve Anya's grades.

Uncle Xia Chuan should know Anya's academic performance very well now. If there's another top student around, even a struggling student will definitely improve.

Anya: Thank you and your whole family!!!

This was exactly what Natsukawa wanted to say; he had thought the same thing from the beginning, as it would be much more convenient to have Ai Haibara under his watchful eye.

However, the way these three people were acting in concert seemed like they were setting a trap for themselves.

He hadn't revealed anything, but he felt that Conan and Ai Haibara were looking at him strangely.

As for what was wrong, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"That's a good idea. Ai Haibara, right? That name is as strange as Conan's," Natsukawa remarked, then added, "However, we already have Anya at home."

Upon hearing this, the three of them clenched their fists in unison, sensing that Xia Chuan was about to refuse at any moment.

If the other party refuses, we can only use Plan Two. Conan, who is usually a cautious player, has already prepared a countermeasure.

As for what method it is.

Well, kids will throw tantrums and roll around in a ball to get a hug, of course.

On the other hand, Ai Haibara blushed a little at the thought of doing something so shameful.

I hope Kudo wasn't lying to me, and that Natsukawa really is as amazing as he said.

That's right, infiltrating the Natsukawa family was a decision made after the three of them came to a showdown.

Conan has long coveted Natsukawa's strength and wealth.

Moreover, Yoel is also very powerful. Once Haibara enters the Natsukawa family and confirms Natsukawa's identity, he will gain two powerful allies.

This is what he has always dreamed of.

I feel a little bad for Anya, for making her father and Aunt Joel involved in such a dangerous thing.

But there's no other way; someone has to step up.

Besides, someone as prudent as him wouldn't easily let Xia Chuan and Yole take risks.

That organization is extremely dangerous. Without sufficient fighting strength, Conan fears he, a mere child, wouldn't be able to handle it. Add Haibara... well, encountering Gin would at most just mean another corpse.

Moreover, after talking for most of the day, he discovered that Haibara was extremely afraid of Gin, to the point that she turned pale at the mere mention of his name.

However, if he wanted Xia Chuan's help, he first needed to find out Xia Chuan's identity. He had asked him several times, but the other party always gave a vague answer, obviously implying that Xia Chuan had a special identity that he hadn't revealed.

Although he didn't know what it was, it shouldn't be some kind of evil force. At least, Xia Chuan's impression of him during this period was that he was on the side of law.

That's what made him consider it.

Now, Haibara is about to become his eyes and ears planted in the Natsukawa family, specifically to investigate Natsukawa's identity, and also to find Haibara a good adoptive family.

Although I'm from a single-parent family, I imagine that won't be for long.

Professor Agasa, forget it. This old man forgets to eat, let alone pick up or drop off children or cook.

He had eaten Anya's bento box when he was in school. Natsukawa's cooking skills were top-notch, and he still remembers it fondly.

Then, he waited for Sherry to confirm Natsukawa's identity. Only when there was no problem would he reveal his and Haibara's identities to her.

But now, it seems like Xia Chuan isn't too keen on it.
Conan quickly gave Ai Haibara a wink, indicating that they could use Plan Two.

Ai Haibara looked away, avoiding eye contact with Conan.

It's so embarrassing. She's only been a little girl for less than 24 hours; she wouldn't do something so shameful.

Conan frowned, a black line appearing on his forehead, and sighed speechlessly.

Immediately afterward, he pursed his lips and opened and closed them a few times, as if he were lip-reading. Ai Haibara caught a glimpse of Conan's lips out of the corner of her eye and understood what he meant.

Bag
Ai Haibara glanced at the Milan Fashion Week runway show playing on TV, then looked at Natsukawa.

Conan said that his savior was a rich man. If the man adopted him, wouldn't all the luxury goods he wanted be taken care of?
I'm tutoring the other person's daughter after school. By doing this, I'm also relieving the pressure on my savior. It wouldn't be a problem for the other person to pay for some luxury items, right?
When she's organizing, she'll research expensive bags and clothes whenever she has free time, which she considers a way to relieve stress.

Therefore, one of her obsessions after escaping was to buy bags and clothes, which was second only to meeting her sister.

Seeing the three of them looking nervous, Xia Chuan didn't point it out. After pondering for a while, making them anxious for a long time, he finally put aside his worries, smiled, and nodded, saying:

"Sure, but Ai, you'll have to tutor Anya properly. Since you can complete first-grade homework and even understand higher-grade questions, and you've earned Conan's approval, your intelligence is definitely not a problem. I hope Anya can make progress under your guidance."

"Is there anything you like? As long as Anya's grades improve, I'll buy you anything you want!"

Xia Chuan waved his hand.

He had seen their little interaction just now.

Surprisingly, Shirley, a science enthusiast, has a fondness for luxury goods like handbags.

In his memory, he only remembered that the other person liked a soccer player, whose name was something like Bihu, a complete random NPC, and he couldn't remember his name.

Anya definitely needs Ai Haibara's guidance, otherwise she'll just turn into a female version of a blonde (crossed out) pink-haired girl, which is not what Natsukawa wants to see.

If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old. I hope Anya can understand his good intentions.

"Great!" The adult and two children raised their hands happily at the same time.

Dr. Agasa was delighted that he didn't have to take care of another person, allowing him to focus all his energy on scientific research and gaining weight.

Conan was overjoyed to have finally planted a spy in Natsukawa's house. He had previously considered bribing Anya, but she wasn't very smart and would be easy to expose, so he gave up on the idea. Haibara's appearance made him reconsider the idea. After all, she is a scientist and her IQ is definitely online, so he is less worried about problems.

Ai Haibara was delighted that she would not only have a place to live, but also receive countless bags and clothes. Taking care of a child was nothing to her; she had no experience, but her age made up for it, and she was sure she could handle it with ease.

As for becoming a spy for Kudo, well, she wouldn't bother investigating Natsukawa. He's her savior, so it's just a matter of fate. She won't take the initiative, nor will she refuse.

The main reason is that she feels indebted to Kudo. After all, Drug A was the result of her and her parents' research, and now that the victim has made a request, it is difficult for her to refuse.

After entering the new family, I need to be more cautious and hide whenever I see members of the organization, hoping only to find my sister.

Speaking of her sister, she still needs to find a way to contact Tequila.

However, she does not have Tequila's phone number.

Previously, all communication was through the research institute's landline, and Tequila's number was just in the phone book; she hadn't bothered to memorize it.

Now things are a bit tricky.

If he runs away, given Gin's temperament, Hakuju Pharmaceuticals will definitely not continue to exist; it might be destroyed at any time.

As for Tequila, she could only wait for them to contact her.

Since the other party knows that his drug can shrink people, they will definitely know about Kudo's existence.

If I'm patient, Tequila will definitely come looking for me, and then I'll be able to ask to see my sister.

However, the thought of the agave of unknown origin made Ai Haibara feel quite down; she was afraid that she would be inextricably linked to the drug for the rest of her life.

After Tequila, he will surely follow in Gin's footsteps and use his sister to force him to develop Drug A.

She didn't want to, but her sister was in the other party's hands, which left her with no choice.

"However, if Ai wants to stay at my house, it may take a day. It's too late now, and we don't have any extra bedding."

After thinking for a moment, Xia Chuan decided to go to the Beihua Department Store tomorrow to buy a bunk bed so that the two little ones could sleep in the same room and he could keep an eye on Anya 24 hours a day.

On the other side, Anya, who had just been soothed to sleep by Joel, suddenly opened her eyes and looked around the room with some confusion.

It's a bit cold, but the windows are all closed. Where is this strange cold wind sneaking into the bed from?

"What's wrong, Anya?" Joel was sitting on the edge of the bed checking Anya's homework when he noticed Anya suddenly sit up in surprise. He asked curiously, "Even if you were asleep, you wouldn't have a nightmare this soon, would you?"

"No, no, I just suddenly feel a little cold."

Joel frowned. "Could it be that he's caught a cold?"

Leaving aside Anya's sixth sense, after making arrangements with the three of them, Xia Chuan turned around and immediately contacted Frank in a corner.

Last night I went directly to Sherry without even notifying Frank, and I don't know if he's still monitoring the street in front of my house.

"Oh, finally done with work?"

On the phone, Frank spoke with a sarcastic tone, "Is that little girl in the white coat the reason you asked me to monitor Ni-chome?"

"Hmm." Xia Chuan said with a smile, "How about we raise a daughter? This girl can't find her parents right now."

Frank across from him nearly knocked over his water glass, making a rustling sound for a moment before hurriedly saying, "Xia Chuan, don't mess with me! I just got a girlfriend. If people mistakenly think I'm divorced with a child, this relationship might fall apart."

You wouldn't want to be fired so soon after getting your IRS investigator job, would you?

Xia Chuan rolled his eyes, but it seemed he had worried for nothing. This guy must have seen his car yesterday and knew he had achieved his goal, so he probably didn't continue monitoring him afterward.

Otherwise, given Frank's personality, if he called the other party at this time, they wouldn't be making fun of him, but rather trying to gain sympathy.

After so many years of brotherhood, he knew the other person's personality inside and out.

Actually, the reason for calling Frank this time wasn't out of concern for him, but mainly because there were two things that needed to be resolved.

First, on Moriya Teiji's side, have they monitored anything? It would be best to confirm the timing of the other party's actions.

Secondly, since Ai Haibara has become his adopted daughter, he needs to arrange for her to enter Teitan Elementary School.

Frank made the arrangements before, and this time was no exception.

"Are you planning to set up a shelter for little girls?" Frank quipped, somewhat puzzled by Xia Chuan's behavior.

Spies, oh spies! Are they preparing to train a successor? To open a Whampoa Military Academy for spies?

"Can't I be compassionate?"

"Did you talk to Joel about this? After all, she's your girlfriend. If you keep adopting her like this, won't she end up raising all the children for you?"

Frank has begun to worry about Joel.

Xia Chuan's actions are incomprehensible to anyone. He wants to have a child with Yoel, so why is he adopting children everywhere?

"That's true"

These words were like a wake-up call. Xia Chuan suddenly remembered that he now had a girlfriend, and since they were aiming for marriage, he definitely needed to tell her.
