Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 206 The Contradictory Tequila
"Long time no see," Yuri greeted Furuya Rei.

Rei Furuya nodded, sat down opposite Yuri, and said to the waiter, "Give me a black coffee, with ice."

Xia Benzi nodded, feeling a bit curious about the handsome dark-skinned, blond-haired man.

"This coffee shop looks nice."

After looking around, I'm quite satisfied with the layout here.

This waiter is also nice; he speaks very softly. Next time I'm on a mission in Tokyo, I can choose to work here to cover my identity.

The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that the waiter looked at him a little too often.

Even without turning his head, he could feel the other person glancing at him from time to time.

"My sister and I often come here for coffee. The service and coffee at this coffee shop are both very good."

As he spoke, Yuri involuntarily turned to look at the Natsukawa family across the street.

My sister said this is where she and Xia Chuan first met.

Damn it! I should never have chosen this place.
But it's too late to regret it now; my sister has already been taken by that pig.

Rei Furuya followed the other person's gaze and suddenly noticed a little girl with brown hair walking out of the house across from the coffee shop.

The little girl with the backpack was less than a meter tall. Furuya Rei felt she looked familiar, but didn't pay much attention to it.

As an intelligence officer, he came into contact with countless people and often encountered faces that seemed familiar; he was already used to it.

"Hmm?" Yuri paused for a moment, then frowned slightly.

Isn't this Anya?
Anya has pink hair, while the little girl who just came out of the other party's house has brown hair.

Considering he might be Anya's classmate, Yuri glanced at him twice and then turned to thank Furuya Rei instead.
"Thank you so much for that day. If you hadn't had Kazami inform us, a lot of people in our group would probably have died this time."

More than a dozen political prisoners were arranged to impersonate police officers and infiltrate Baijiu Pharmaceutical. None of them survived. The worst seven or eight were not even found; they were probably blown to pieces.

Even if he had gone inside, he might not have survived such an explosion. Fortunately, he had Rei Furuya's intelligence support.

"It's what I should do," Furuya Rei smiled slightly.

"However, how did the Black Organization know this information?"

Yuri frowned. Their investigations were always meticulous, and he had been thinking for several days about where things had gone wrong so that Gin had discovered them.

"You used the Metropolitan Police Department's identity when you investigated the power company," Amuro Tooru said, then stopped.

Yuri, like him, is an excellent public security police officer and should be aware of the flaws in this situation.

"I see." Yuri nodded. "That was my oversight; I didn't explain it clearly."

Electrical safety has absolutely nothing to do with the Metropolitan Police Department, no wonder it's being suspected.

However, this shows that there are organized informants within the Mika Electric Power Bureau, which needs to be investigated thoroughly.

"Tequila is quite clever. You should be careful when investigating the organization in the future, so that this kind of oversight doesn't happen again."

Is it agave?

"Hmm." Furuya Rei nodded, not going any further, and instead took a USB drive out of his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Yuri.

"This is?"

“Some of these are entrepreneurs with questionable backgrounds, but some of them may have already been blackmailed by Gin. Be careful when you investigate.”

"it is good"

Yuri took the USB drive, but hesitated to speak.

He was debating whether or not to tell Akemi Miyano about her relationship with Tequila.

Although the leadership has instructed us not to inform Furuya Rei about this matter for the time being, is this really a good idea?
Moreover, after numerous inquiries, the police leadership was unable to find any trace of tequila.

They're clearly from Japan, not Kyoto or Osaka. Could it be that there's some special or mysterious organization within the Chinese government?

Having no way of knowing the answer, Yuri pinned his hopes on Rei Furuya to provide him with some clarity.

At the same time, he also hoped that Furuya would pay more attention to the other party.

But this involves instructions from superiors, creating a dilemma.

"What's matter?"

Rei Furuya noticed that Yuri was acting strangely and said, "Is there something you want to ask? You can just say it. I'll tell you everything I can."

What cannot be said, naturally will not be said.

Yuri nodded, knowing that Rei Furuya was also facing difficulties within the Black Organization.

In the end, he decided to ask. Tequila was too important. Regardless of whether he was an official member of the Japanese government or not, it was necessary to mention it to Rei Furuya. Maybe he knew something.

Yuri took out a picture of Tequila from his inner pocket and handed it to the other person: "Tequila, how much do you know about this person?"

"Tequila?" Furuya Rei frowned as he looked at the photo he had sent back to the Public Security Bureau a long time ago.

He didn't know much about tequila either.

He was abroad before, so he didn't have many opportunities to meet the other party.

Although we've had a few interactions since I returned to Japan recently, we've only been nodding acquaintances.

Tequila was previously in charge of selling tequila, while he was in charge of foreign intelligence gathering; they had virtually no contact.

Although I recently returned to Japan, I'm mostly not in Tokyo. The organization's codenamed members are mostly active in the Tokyo area, so there's hardly any chance to meet.

"I don't know much about tequila, except that it recently became Gin's trusted henchman. You should know about the last billion yen heist, right?"

He was the mastermind and executor of this case.

Because of this case, he gained Gin's attention, and now it seems that he is on par with Vodka, or even slightly higher.

Another point is that during the 1 billion yen heist, Akemi Miyano died at his hands.

Rei Furuya paused, as if he had thought of something.

"You may not know Akemi Miyano, but you definitely know her sister, Shiho Miyano."

Codename Sherry, the organization's chief scientist!
Because her sister was murdered, Sherry somehow escaped from Shirley Pharmaceuticals. Keep an eye out for her; she probably has a lot of things that the organization wants.

"If we can get her, we'll soon learn the organization's research secrets."

Amuro Tooru took out Sherry's photo and handed it to her.

Within the organization, many people had their photos taken by him without his consent, and Shirley was no exception.

"Missing?"

“Yes, why do you think Gin was able to completely relocate the research equipment as soon as you discovered Shiraito Pharmaceuticals? Actually, the reason was Sherry; her disappearance led Gin to decide to relocate the equipment.” “I’ll be careful!” Yuri nodded, glancing warily to his left and right.

Since it was Saturday and a little after 1 p.m., most people had just finished eating and were taking a nap at home.

After confirming that no one else was in the coffee shop, Yuri said with a serious expression, "Keep a close eye on Tequila, and it would be best to record what missions he has carried out."

Also, if you encounter anything that threatens your identity or life, you can try asking him for help!

"???"

Rei Furuya's hand holding the coffee trembled, spilling half of it and leaving a brown stain on his white T-shirt.

What kind of inappropriate and lewd words are these? What did Yuri know?
Why should he seek help from tequila in a crisis? Is it because...?
But why use the word "try"?

"Don't overthink it. This is just a backup plan. In fact, I don't even know if the other party is reliable."

Yuri gave a wry smile, took a sip of his coffee, and earnestly instructed, "Remember, never contact him unless it's a critical moment!"

Rei Furuya neither nodded nor shook his head, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.

Yuri should have kept quiet, because once he did, things were fine.
This tequila guy has suddenly become suspicious.

When he first learned that Tequila was making a name for herself within the organization, he was a little curious, as she didn't seem this smart when they worked together before.

However, considering that I hadn't seen tequila in a long time and didn't understand its personality and way of doing things, and that people grow up, I didn't delve into it further.

Now it seems there's something fishy going on.

Yuri's words were undoubtedly telling him that there was something wrong with the tequila.

As for what the problem is? There are two possibilities:
First, Tequila is a spy for the Public Security Bureau, deeply hidden, and only now is it being put into use.

Second, the tequila I see now is fake, which explains why the tequila I saw a few years ago is so different from the tequila I see now.

Having seen many masters of disguise like Vermouth, he wasn't surprised that someone could impersonate Tequila.

However, Gin didn't notice anything amiss; the opponent's disguise was quite impressive.
"But..." He suddenly remembered that the reason the police were exposed was because of Tequila's doing.
It was he who alerted Gin, and that's when Gin noticed something amiss.

Yuri had clearly noticed this suspicious point as well, and was also filled with questions; it was too contradictory.

"I don't know either, which is why I told you not to contact him unless absolutely necessary."

At first, we thought he might be one of our people, but after hearing you say that our investigation was exposed because of him, I'm starting to not understand either." Yuri frowned and pondered for a long time, unable to comprehend Tequila's thought process.

Or was it that the person who delivered the envelope to the police wasn't Tequila?

It wasn't Tequila or Rei Furuya, so does that mean the Public Security Bureau has a hidden mole?

The two sat in silence, each with a cup of coffee, for half an hour, until the loud laughter from the front desk startled them.

"Xiao Lan is so lucky, she definitely deserves a good drink. You don't mind treating her this time, do you?"

Sonoko Suzuki greatly admires Ran Mouri.

The other person is incredibly lucky; they seem to have a buff that grants them the ability to win prizes just by participating in a lottery.

Today's source of joy comes from—Ran won the only onsen ryokan (hot spring hotel) voucher at the Beika Department Store!
"Okay, Sonoko, keep your voice down, you're disturbing others."

Despite being the second daughter of one of Japan's top conglomerates, she gets excited over such a trivial matter and even tries to get a cup of coffee from her.

Is happiness for wealthy people really that simple and unpretentious?
"What? I was already speaking very softly, and besides, it's this late, and the coffee shop is..."

Just as Sonoko was about to say that no one was there, her gaze met two pairs of eyes.

"."

Sonoko Suzuki paused for a moment, then awkwardly composed herself, coughed twice, tightened her grip on her small handbag, and gave an embarrassed but polite smile.

"Excuse me."

After apologizing, she turned to Xiaolan and whispered, "Hey Xiaolan, did you see that? Two handsome guys!"

Xiaolan hummed in agreement and then ordered two coffees.

Seeing that Ran didn't react, Sonoko Suzuki rolled her eyes: "Come on, you're too focused. Kudo has been missing for months, and you're still thinking about him?"

"To meet a childhood friend like you, I wonder if Shinichi Kudo saved the galaxy in his past life."

Hearing this, Xiao Lanteng blushed immediately. "Please, Sonoko, don't talk nonsense. Shinichi and I are just friends, not really."

Ran sighed with worry: "I don't know what Shinichi is busy with. Yesterday was his birthday. We had made plans to go to the Beika Cinema, but he didn't show up in the end. I really don't know what could be more important than a birthday."

"What? He stood me up?"

Sonoko switched the speakerphone back on, then nudged Ran's arm with her elbow teasingly, "I think you should just give up on that idiot Kudo who has no emotional intelligence."

Then, pointing to the two people talking over there, he chuckled and said, "Look at those two handsome guys. One has a baby face and looks super cute, and the other, although he's a bit dark-skinned, is exactly my type."

Xiaolan politely nodded to the two people who were looking at them again, then rolled her eyes at Sonoko: "Can you speak a little quieter? People can hear you."

Sonoko Suzuki said she didn't care; a woman who dares to love and hate is never afraid of the scrutinizing gaze of handsome men.

Yuri and Rei Furuya sighed as they looked at Sonoko Suzuki's defiant yet self-righteous gaze, paid the bill, and left.

They had already covered everything they needed to talk about, and with Sonoko Suzuki present, it was difficult for the two of them to maintain any interest in continuing the conversation.

The other party is the second young lady of the Suzuki family, and she may have bodyguards with her. Those bodyguards are probably not simple, and the two of us may be noticed. It would be best to leave as soon as possible.

Watching the two leave, Sonoko Suzuki sighed, "I wonder when my love will come."

A look of disappointment appeared on her face, and just as Xiaolan was about to comfort her, Suzuki Sonoko's expression suddenly changed.

She looked at Xiaolan with a smile and said, "My sister is inviting her college classmates to a party at our mountaintop villa in a few days. Do you want to come along? I heard there will be some handsome guys there—"

"No way"

Xiaolan waved her hand, indicating she wasn't interested in it.

She was more interested in the hot spring hotel voucher in her hand than that.

"Mikamachi seems to be not far from Tokyo. I remember it only takes an hour to get there."

"Yes, it's the weekend. I'll go back and talk to my dad about going to the Genbei Onsen Ryokan to soak in the hot springs tonight."

"Perfect timing! I just saw it in front of the TV display case at the Mihua Department Store. It says the temperature will start to drop this afternoon, and it should start snowing tonight."

Snow and hot springs go perfectly together; you might even meet a handsome skier. You'd better keep your eyes peeled and put some pressure on Kudo, otherwise he'll think you're only interested in him.

Xiaolan didn't respond, her lips twitched. Sonoko was still the same as always, never stopping talking about handsome guys.

The two of them didn't think about why the temperature would drop in the afternoon and even start to snow in the evening when the sun was shining brightly in the morning.
