Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 229 Undercurrents (Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe)
Some people screamed in terror, as if they had seen a murderous maniac.

Some people looked on with admiration.

Sonoko Suzuki was one of them, because she had investigated him and thus knew the nature of Kaito Kid.

He is only interested in gems, not in killing, so there is no need for him to be afraid.

"Today, right under the noses of your five hundred men, I will obtain the treasure you cherish—the Dark Star."

"You despicable phantom thief! The Suzuki Foundation is not someone you can insult!"

Hearing her mother's words, Sonoko Suzuki turned around in confusion, only to see her mother seemingly taking something out of her bag.

Immediately afterwards, sparks flew from the gun, and the smell of gunpowder wafted from Tomoko Suzuki's hands.

"Bang bang bang-"

The three consecutive gunshots caused many guests to instinctively crouch down, with some of the more timid ones hiding under tables, trembling with fear.

too terrifying
This party is destined to be unforgettable for many people, and the series of unexpected events has left even Inspector Ginzo Nakamori somewhat overwhelmed.

Xia Chuan felt something was strange.

This is the Suzuki Group's 60th anniversary gala, and guests at such events are usually Suzuki Group business partners or companies with which they have a good relationship.

Firing a gun like that, even if it's just acting, is incredibly disrespectful.

This is a very reckless act. At the very least, if his collaborator did something so absurd, he would definitely sever ties with them.

"Mrs. Tomoko!"

Inspector Nakamori looked pale and stopped Tomoko Suzuki from firing. He pushed through the crowd and ran toward the fallen Phantom Thief Kid, who had been shot.

He hadn't expected that Tomoko Suzuki would bring a pistol.

Even though the other party was carrying a gun, he seemed unable to accuse them.

Daring to fire a gun in public, there is no doubt that they are not afraid of pressure from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Another point is that her target was Kaito Kid.

The other party tried to steal the gemstone, and the gemstone owner fought back with a gun. In court, Suzuki Tomoko was always in the right.

Inspector Nakamori's eyes welled up with tears. The thief he had been chasing for years had actually been taken down by a single pistol.

This scene satirizes the phantom thief, but it also satirizes his own career.

It feels like all my efforts were for nothing. I put in so much work, and all I got in return was an ordinary person taking down Phantom Thief Kid with three shots.

In the two seconds it took him to run up to Kaito Kid, he thought of many things, but once he got closer, he was completely stunned.

"You are."

He hadn't seen the Phantom Thief Kid clearly because he had his hat brim down, but now that the other person was lying on the banquet table, he could see his face clearly.

Isn't this guy the famous magician, Kazumi Sanada?

When boarding the ship, he personally checked the items the other party was carrying.

The lights returned to normal the next moment.

Ignoring Inspector Nakamori's script, the corpse of Phantom Thief Kid on the table leaped up and stood up as if from the dead.

Everyone was startled again and took a few steps back.

Conan was one of them. In his haste, he backed away, then seemed to trip over something and fell backward.

Fortunately, there were people behind him who helped him up.

"Sister Mina".

Turning around, Conan saw that it was Hatsue Hiramoto's secretary. He breathed a sigh of relief, then stared at her collar for a few seconds before standing up, blushing, and forcibly focusing his attention on the seemingly resurrected Phantom Thief Kid.

"hehe."

Baileys chuckled and was about to greet them when she seemed to hear something. She suddenly pressed her ear and looked towards the bathroom.

Over there, Kenzo Masuyama and Kazuki Higashino walked out expressionlessly, their eyes gleaming.

"Are you ready to take action?"

Baileys muttered something to herself and moved to the corner.

If you're near the center of the hall and things get chaotic, you can easily get lost in the crowd. Standing on the edge is safer and offers a better view.

Xia Chuan naturally saw this scene as well, and called Frank over to his side to give him a few instructions.

Frank has no fighting skills; he brought the other party along simply because he needed a tool, and now is the time when he needs help.

"Go and bring in the things you prepared in advance. I reckon the zoo should be getting started soon."

Frank nodded in agreement and headed towards the exit.

Security checks upon boarding were very strict, and no lethal weapons were allowed.

If firearms don't work, then cold weapons won't work either. Fortunately, Xia Chuan was prepared and had Frank hide equipment on the Sallybeth in advance.

After all, they were dealing with a zoo, an organization that was a bit different from a winery.

Those who can actually do the work at the brewery are all codenamed members; other peripheral members and extras rarely appear. Most of the time, Gin even does the work himself.

Unlike the zoo, Snake always brought a platoon of armed men with him on every trip, and they were all heavily armed bandits.

Just like the last "Brilliant Flower" incident.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare firearms in case of uncontrollable risks.

Baileys observed the two for a long time and, finding that they were not making any moves, breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Hiramoto Natsue before hurrying towards the deck outside.

She had just overheard their conversation.

These two people were also from a black-clad organization.

She also knew about this organization, a black-clad organization that only used animal names as code names.

They are very strong, comparable to their organization.

The key point is that they rely entirely on codenamed members to carry out their own operations.

When that organization makes a move, it's always a codenamed member leading a platoon of peripheral members; their output relies entirely on suppressive fire. She just heard that enemy fire is about to arrive at the scene.

So, in comparison, the difference between the two sides is quite significant; those two are genuinely wealthy.

While we are indeed very strong, sometimes we can't overcome having too many people!

Three helicopters and about thirty armed personnel.

The Sallybeth had been at sea for half an hour and had now entered international waters. The organization was preparing to pretend to be pirates and plunder the entire ship.

Clearly, they were also worried about their identities being discovered, which is why they chose to take action in international waters.

However, there was one thing she was very curious about.

They clearly intended to plunder the entire ship, but their goal was merely a dark star. Isn't that a bit of a waste of their potential?
If Gin were to deploy such a force, he would definitely kidnap the entire ship, and the ransom would be so high that he'd be rolling in it.

Of course, this is just talk; even someone as crazy as Gin probably wouldn't dare to do that.

Besides the Suzuki Group, there were countless other conglomerates of all sizes present. If the organization offended them all, it would have no room to survive in Japan.

While the prerequisite for having no space to survive is exposure, the possibility of exposure is very small if one is cautious enough.

But Gin certainly wouldn't gamble on that possibility.

Furthermore, once this news gets out, the whole world will be shaken.

The combined wealth of these conglomerates is greater than that of some underdeveloped countries!
At that point, the boss might even throw Gin out to quell his anger.

After contacting Gin on the deck, Baileys received a new mission.

Proceed to the control room to obtain the ship's signal code for the Sallybeth.

Gin, prepare to board!
Gin originally planned to ambush the two in Tokyo Bay, but the other side directly dispatched a helicopter to take action in international waters. Obviously, they would not wait to disembark in Tokyo Bay and would most likely leave directly in international waters.

As the head of the Japanese branch of the brewery, Gin is vengeful and will not let the other party get away easily.

Let's see how things go, and maybe we can also covet that dark star!
With the zoo in the lead, Gin is confident that he can get his hands on it and then make the other party take the blame.

Soon, in the deep mountains of a suburb of Tokyo, a black armed helicopter slowly rose, roared into the night sky, and gradually disappeared beyond the coastline.
"Hey, Conan, how's the investigation going?"

During a break in the performance by Sanada Ichizo, who was disguised as Kaito Kid, Natsukawa walked up to Conan and asked him a question.

Let's do some research and see where Conan's story is at.

"Uh"

Conan's head is a complete mess. Choosing one out of three might be easy, but choosing one out of five hundred is really difficult!

Fortunately, he has now confirmed that the Dark Star is worn on the chest of either Tomoko Suzuki or Sonoko Suzuki.

For now, we just need to keep a close eye on these two people, and there shouldn't be any major problems.

During this time, he also saw several people giving the two Suzuki family members unfriendly looks, but he couldn't confirm whether it was a business rivalry or that it was Kaito Kid.

Conan was unaware that someone was secretly watching him while he was observing.

This person was Xiaolan.

Ran's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, her gaze shifting back and forth between Conan and Ran.

This little brat actually has some skills.

If he hadn't known in advance that Suzuki Tomoko had prepared 499 counterfeit items, he would probably be in a panic by now.

Indeed, any operation requires sufficient intelligence support.

For example, at the scene, he was certain that the gem was worn on Tomoko Suzuki's chest.

In fact, when he first asked the other party to check his speech, he had already carefully checked it once, so there couldn't be any mistakes.

The dull, jet-black star is the genuine article.

However, he was in no hurry to take action.

No, to be precise, they don't plan to take any action!

She is now disguised as Ran Mouri and standing next to Tomoko Suzuki in order to protect her.

From the very beginning, Snake gave Suzuki Tomoko no less than ten unfriendly looks.

I'm afraid the other side has already found out.

No, perhaps Snake only targeted the Suzuki mother and daughter.

It's all Suzuki Tomoko's fault; she insisted that only one person in the hall was suitable to wear this gem.

Anyone with a brain should have figured it out by now.

Unless Shiro Suzuki had any illegitimate children at the scene.

The people on the ship were completely unaware of the undercurrents swirling outside.

The evening's program quickly moved to the segment where Sanada Ichizo performed mind-reading by drawing playing cards.

Kaito also clearly sensed that the time for the zoo to make its move was fast approaching.

He turned his gaze to Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan blinked lightly, indicating that it wasn't a big problem.

While he was making a scene, he went to the bathroom and put on his bulletproof vest as well.

Since it involves two black-clad organizations, it must be taken seriously.

Frank had already retreated to his room after doing all this, and then contacted him via radio.

The surveillance system on the Sally Beth has been hacked, and now the entire ship is under Frank's surveillance.

"Xiao Lan, shall we go up and draw some cards?"

As the second young lady of the Suzuki family, no one would steal her turn to interact with the magician. Out of shyness, she decided to pull Ran along with her.

When you're with someone, you laugh together when you're happy, and you won't embarrass yourself when you're unhappy.
