Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 205 With that cooking skill alone, I'm taking my leave!

Xia Chuan rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, we'll go to the Moriya family's house right now. We don't know the combination to his safe, but we can take the whole safe with us."

This inspiration came from watching Fast and Furious in my past life; I'll just dig out the safe later.

Given Moriya Teiji's net worth, his safe wouldn't be that big, so it's not a big problem.

Now that we have the car, the vodka speed is definitely there; we'll see if it's exciting enough in a bit.
Half an hour later, the two drove up to the entrance of the Moriya mansion.

However, the area was already heavily guarded by police. Yellow and black police tape surrounded the entire Moriya mansion, and officers stood along the walls, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

"what happened?"

The two people in the car looked at each other, both somewhat puzzled.

Vodka remained expressionless, rolled down the car window, pulled out his forged Metropolitan Police Department badge, flashed it in front of the officer, and asked, "How's the situation?"

Instead of asking what happened, he inquired about the situation to avoid arousing suspicion.

"Teiji Moriya has not been found yet. The explosive ordnance disposal team is currently checking the building for any explosives."

The police officer acted like an obedient NPC. Vodka nodded, said "Thank you for your hard work," and then rolled up the car window and drove away.

"."

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow, unsure of what to say.

It turns out these police officers don't just casually reveal case details when they see Conan; it seems they treat everyone the same.

Judging from the vodka's skill level, this was definitely not his first time. It seems the Metropolitan Police Department officers' professionalism needs improvement. They didn't even need an inside man; they could have easily found out by asking around.

I've learned something! I'll do that next time too!

"pity."

Vodka sighed and couldn't resist lighting a cigarette.

With so many police officers, there's no way they can get their hands on this safe.

Although Xia Chuan was curious as to why Moriya Teiji had been exposed so early, he didn't care. His goal had been achieved, so there was nothing to worry about.

With Teiji Moriya's body destroyed and him dying while carrying the blame for Frank's death, the Metropolitan Police Department will likely close the case of the missing explosives as soon as possible, and this matter will probably end there.

After all, the reporters are keeping a close eye on things. If this continues for a few more days, even high-ranking officials in the Metropolitan Police Department might have to commit seppuku to apologize.

Return to the temporary base in Shibuya.

Xia Chuan and Vodka carried two boxes of explosives to Gin's front.

It was originally a box.

However, it seems that Teiji Moriya had other sources of explosives, and the size of the explosives would increase after they were made into plastic bombs, which is why there was an extra box.

"Hmm, this batch of plastic bombs looks good, and there's a large quantity, enough to last for a while."

Gin nodded in satisfaction. "The base in Tokyo needs to be reorganized. For the time being, Tequila should find a place to lay low. I'll contact you again after the base is re-established."

Remember, don't cause trouble.

The distillery has been exposed to the police multiple times, leading to a crisis of trust among Gin's internal staff.

In addition to re-establishing a base, he also needs to investigate the peripheral members.

There's not much to investigate about the codenamed members; they're basically all people he can trust, especially Tequila. That guy has brought him a lot of benefits, and he's been in the organization for quite some time.

If the other party is an undercover agent, they must be a spy within a spy sent by the boss to the Red Team and then sent back.

Only three people—Kier, Piske, and Bourbon—did not trust him.

Baileys is alright; she's a trusted confidante whom Vermouth has cultivated since childhood, so she's definitely not an undercover agent.

Kiel wasn't very useful, and he rarely used him. He didn't really trust him; he was someone you could keep around but would feel bad about getting rid of.

This proved somewhat useful, as the other side extensively reported negative news about the Metropolitan Police Department in the media, which caused Tokyo residents to be terrified about the bombing.

Pisco is a stingy guy. If the other party hadn't been the boss's old subordinate, he would have definitely killed him and taken all the funds.

Bourbon is too mysterious; no one knows what he's doing all day. He's been quite concerned about the things the boss asked him to investigate recently, but since the boss hasn't told him, he can't overstep his authority and ask Bourbon.

Bourbon ignored him, which made him very unhappy.

Fortunately, the other party was the type to play alone, and most of the time they could cooperate quite well, so he had no reason to cause trouble.

These three people are all alright. They may have conflicts with him at work, but Gin doesn't really believe they are traitors.

"I understand." Xia Chuan nodded vigorously. That's great.

Working at the winery is too tiring; he needs a proper vacation.

Moreover, reshuffling the strongholds is also a good thing.

Although he had been lying low for some time, there were bound to be some locations he was unaware of. He couldn't very well ask Vodka, and if the original Tequila knew, it would seem suspicious.

When the bases are reshuffled, there won't be this concern; Gin will definitely give him the complete list of bases.

Then, we can sell another batch of intelligence to the IRS.

Although the IRS did not profit from obtaining the specific location of Baijiu Pharmaceuticals, Huanghun did receive a substantial reward.

Suddenly I realized this is a virtuous cycle, and I can do this more often in the future.

They can scam money from the IRS without exposing themselves.

It's not that he's a bad person, it's just that the IRS's tax rate is too high!
This is called legal tax avoidance.

three days later.

The two bombings that shocked Tokyo and the theft of gunpowder have been solved.

At a press conference, the police publicly stated that both explosions were caused by Teiji Moriya.

The reason was that Teiji Moriya was dissatisfied with his early asymmetrical works and had been plotting for many years to destroy them with gunpowder.

The Kurokawa residence was just the beginning; there were other buildings to come, such as the Beika City Hall. However, when Teiji Moriya carried out the first destruction explosion, he failed to control the yield and detonation time properly, and he was killed along with himself.

As for Hakujiro Pharmaceuticals, the police gave a rather outrageous answer: the explosion at Hakujiro Pharmaceuticals was a blasting experiment by Teiji Moriya.

As for the fact that the explosion at Shirakyu Pharmaceutical and the theft of the explosives occurred almost simultaneously, the police stated that Teiji Moriya, as an architect, had planned for many years and was able to obtain some explosives, accumulating them little by little.

They then used timed detonation technology to complete the "feat" of committing two major crimes at the same time.

An unnamed demolition expert also came forward, claiming that he and Teiji Moriya were close friends and that Moriya had been discussing demolition techniques with him for many years, and that he was definitely capable of committing the two explosions.

Although the police were unable to find the remaining explosives, considering that the citizens of Tokyo were already on edge, they decided to inform them that the remaining stolen explosives had also been found at Moriya's home.

And that was the end of it.

The Public Security Bureau, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the brewery were all pleased with the outcome.

Xia Chuan put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up, and stretched.

Society needs stability, and the Metropolitan Police Department needs to bring in someone who can withstand public anger, so Teiji Moriya was chosen.

Similarly, this is the result he wanted to see.

Sunlight streamed through the clouds onto the balcony, where the flowers on the nearby flower stand were vibrant and beautiful. This was the flower garden that Joel had created.

Because Xia Chuan likes to bask in the sun, Joel bought some easy-to-bloom, low-maintenance plants for the balcony.

Smelling the fragrance of flowers and basking in the sun, Xia Chuan is extremely leisurely.

What's rare is that I don't have to worry about Anya on weekends, all thanks to Ai Haibara.

Natsukawa increasingly felt that adopting Ai Haibara was the right choice.

Speaking of Ai Haibara, Natsukawa doesn't completely let her run wild; he also keeps a close eye on her movements.

Such as yesterday.

Yesterday, Ai Haibara, together with Conan and Professor Agasa, went to Professor Masami Hirota's home at Nanyang University to retrieve the research materials that had been lost.

While you're at it, send Hirota Masami off.

Judging from Ai Haibara's excitement in teaching Anya today, it seems that the information can still provide her with good help.

Although there is no latest data, all the research was done by Ai Haibara. With the earlier data, she should be able to quickly catch up with the current research progress of the brewery.

It's a bit tough on Anya, though; Xia Chuan hasn't seen her smile in the last few days.

His father felt both gratified and guilty for seeing him studying hard under pressure every day and writing furiously.

"How about we take them to a hot spring resort during these two days off?"

With the bombing and gunpowder theft solved, Joel has resumed his normal commute and has plenty of time and time off available.

Sometimes Xia Chuan wondered if he should ask Yoel to resign.

However, he later rejected this idea.

He was doing his job at the Metropolitan Police Department just fine, and he seemed to have no reason to persuade Joel.

The two are currently in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so asking the other person to quit their job to take care of their child is a bit excessive.

No, even if you're married, you shouldn't have such thoughts.

Being a housewife is really not suitable for Joel. With her cooking skills, goodbye!
Just take it as a quick and easy cold medicine.

If he weren't so rich, he could definitely turn Joel's cooking into a miracle cure for colds.

However, this is far too hurtful; even if you're short of money, you shouldn't do this.
Conan hasn't been idle these past two days either. Besides seeing off Hirota Masami yesterday, he also spent time with him the day before yesterday and the day before that.

With Conan's support, the underworld's KPIs will likely remain relatively stable for the foreseeable future.

At lunchtime, Xia Chuan smiled and said to the two little girls, "You've been studying so hard these past few days, I'll take you to a hot spring hotel to relax tomorrow. The voucher is still valid."

"Really? I love Father the most!!" Anya's eyes suddenly lit up, and she jumped up and stood on the chair, leaning on the table facing Natsukawa, her cute little face full of joy.

"of course."

"I think I'll pass. I'm not going. I have to go to the professor's house this afternoon and tomorrow. I have things to do."

Ai Haibara shook her head. She had just received the research materials yesterday, and today and tomorrow were her weekend, so she needed to organize them properly.

Moreover, Dr. Agasa has prepared all the research equipment I need these past few days, and we can officially start construction this afternoon.

While working in the organization, she felt exhausted from all the research. But after escaping, she found that without research, she seemed to have nothing left to do.

Supervising Anya's studies helps her avoid feeling empty, but Anya isn't an iron woman and can't study 24/7. She also needs to do research to pass the time.

And she also wanted to grow bigger.

Shrinking is only for escaping the organization; under normal circumstances, no one would willingly shrink.

She wouldn't mind becoming younger, but becoming seven years younger? Forget about it.
“You need to relax once in a while,” Anya said, though she was secretly delighted.

If you had to pick the person she least wanted to see, it would undoubtedly be Ai Haibara; she'd been driven crazy by the torment these past few days.

Although my grades improved a tiny bit, it was nothing compared to the suffering I endured.

She would definitely be happier if Ai Haibara didn't go.

After all, if the other person comes along, I might have to do my homework while soaking in a hot spring, which is terrifying to even think about.

It would be best to spend every day researching that drug and then forget about yourself.

"No need." Ai Haibara said calmly, glancing at Anya.

The other person's thoughts are written all over their face, yet they still try this trick on her. A child is a child.

However, just because I'm not here doesn't mean Anya doesn't need to do her homework.

"When I get back tonight, I'll go to the bookstore and pick out a few workbooks for you. Even if you go to the hot spring hotel, you can't fall behind in your studies. Look at the difference between you and Ayumi."

boom!
Anya's head suddenly lost its support and slammed hard on the table.

In her pale green eyes, tears welled up and slid down.

"Appropriate is good"

Xia Chuan felt a little sorry for her and said cautiously, "Ania probably won't be able to handle too much homework."

"Father--"

Anya shed tears of emotion, jumped off the chair, and hugged her father's leg.

"But let's listen to your sister Ai this week. If your test scores improve next week, then we can talk about easing the burden."

Xia Chuan silently shook his leg, ignoring Anya, whose face was on the verge of collapse.

"Ai, are you really not going? Soaking in a hot spring is quite relaxing."

"No."

Ai Haibara ate her food slowly and deliberately. The hot spring trip didn't appeal to her. She was still thinking that if Natsukawa wasn't there, she wondered if Tequila would come looking for her.

Four or five days had passed, and Agave still hadn't appeared, which made her realize something was strange.

The other party knows that I have shrunk and will definitely be able to find me. Why haven't they appeared yet? Is it because of Xia Chuan who is by my side?
Conan said that Natsukawa's background is quite mysterious, and Tequila may be hesitant to appear because of Natsukawa's identity.

Yuri shared her curiosity about tequila.

After finishing his work these past few days, he finally had time to meet with Rei Furuya.

Besides routinely handling matters with distilleries, there's another thing I need to do—inquire about tequila!
Upon first seeing Rei Furuya, Yuri remarked that the other man was still as dark as ever.

It's even trending towards getting darker.

Could it be that the Black Organization has a negative buff that makes people turn black?

Yuri couldn't figure out what kind of parents could give birth to a child with dark skin and blond hair.

Could it be that his father is Black and his mother is blonde Asian?
Or it could be the relationship between grandparents and maternal grandparents. In any case, Yuri is quite curious about this.

But I didn't ask, since it wasn't a work-related matter.

The identities of police officers are kept highly confidential, and it is strictly forbidden to inquire about other people's families, especially for undercover agents like Furuya Rei who are lurking outside the police force; their identities must be kept extremely secret!
