Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 23 Trading
Since it was also in Beika Town, the taxi quickly arrived at Beika Library.

The Beika Library has five floors and is the largest public library in Beika Town. However, since it was a weekday, there were only a few people inside.

As soon as Xia Chuan entered, he saw a familiar face; Frank had given him information about this person in the documents he had received yesterday.

This man was none other than Hideji Tsugawa, the librarian of Beika Library; after all, his monkey-like face was very easy to recognize.

He was carrying a cardboard box, which seemed to contain books or something similar, but it was still unopened. Just as the other person was about to take the elevator upstairs, Xia Chuan quickly walked up and stopped the elevator doors from closing.

"Sorry!" Xia Chuan laughed awkwardly and entered the elevator.

Director Tsugawa nodded in acknowledgment. "Sir, which floor would you like to go to?"

Xia Chuan glanced at the elevator floor; the light on the fourth floor was already on, which should be the floor Tsugawa was going to.

"Perfect timing, I'm going to the fourth floor too."

Inside the elevator, Xia Chuan stood behind Director Jin Chuan, his eyes glancing several times at the books in the other's box.

These are some pre-packaged children's encyclopedias; they must have just arrived.

It must be inside, the drugs.

He still had some recollection of the drug case in the library, so when Frank mentioned that Tamada Kazuo had gone missing, Natsukawa immediately knew the reason.

By now, Kazuo Tamada is probably already lying dead on top of the elevator.

However, Xia Chuan didn't care about any of this, and the plan proceeded as scheduled, except that he needed to come and scout the location in advance.

Ding.

The elevator stopped on the fourth floor. Director Tsugawa nodded in acknowledgment and went into the office next door.

Xia Chuan, on the other hand, went into the library.

As time passed, it was six o'clock in the evening, just one hour before the deal between Tequila and Director Tsugawa was due.

Over the next few hours, Xia Chuan explored the entire library.

It's closing time at the library.

Xia Chuan calmly entered the restroom, put on the mask that he had prepared in advance for Tamada Kazuo, took off his outer clothes, and changed into the clothes that Tamada Kazuo usually wore.

After looking in the mirror for a long time to make sure there were no details missed, 'Tamada Kazuo' slowly walked out of the bathroom.

These preparations took more than ten minutes, and the lights in the library had already dimmed.

Looking down through the window, you can see an employee closing the library door and leaving.

Xia Chuan pressed the button for the fourth floor, entered the elevator, and carefully opened the top of the elevator.

The top of the elevator was noticeably loose, which was probably because Director Tsugawa hadn't closed it properly.

The moment the door opened, a foul odor wafted down from the top of the elevator.

Tamada Kazuo must have died last night. It's the height of summer now, and in such a confined and hot space like the top of an elevator, it's normal for a corpse to start smelling.

Xia Chuan covered his nose and climbed to the top of the elevator, put the opened top back in place, and stood there in the elevator's top space.

The body of Tamada Kazuo lay curled up on the ground, completely stiff, with lividity covering the exposed skin.

His mouth was open, his eyes were wide open, and there was a noticeable scar on his neck.

After examining the body and confirming that Tamada Kazuo was dead, Natsukawa was about to get into the elevator when the elevator doors suddenly opened.

Is it time for the transaction to begin?
Was it Tequila or Director Tsugawa who entered the elevator?

His doubts were quickly answered as Director Tsugawa's voice reached the top of the elevator.

"Don't worry, they've all gone home. Please drive the car directly to the back door later."

He was probably on the phone, and the person he was talking to was definitely Tequila.

The elevator finally stopped on the first floor. Only after confirming that the other person had left did Xia Chuan step down from the top of the elevator.

At this time, all the lights in the lobby on the first floor of the library were dimmed. The only place with a light on was the back door, which was the direction that Director Tsugawa had just walked in.

Xia Chuan followed stealthily and found a secluded corner to observe the back door.

He was now wearing the face of Tamada Kazuo, and his gaze as he looked at Tsugawa from the corner appeared somewhat terrifying in the darkness.

If Director Tsugawa had turned around and seen him at that moment, he would have been scared out of his wits.

Shortly after, the sound of a truck came from outside. A small transport truck reversed and drove the truck into the back door. It looked exactly like the truck that Xia Chuan had seen during the day.

boom!
The car door opened, and Agave's indifferent face emerged from the darkness.

"Here's the goods you ordered. They've all been packed inside the books beforehand." Tequila looked around to make sure it was safe, then took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Thank you very much, Lady Tequila. Here is the agreed amount."

Director Tsugawa appeared somewhat humble in front of the tequila, meekly taking out a briefcase. His hands were pale as he carried it, suggesting a considerable amount of money inside.

"Hmm." Tequila took the briefcase, and only after finishing his cigarette did he open it, glance inside, and sneer:
"I believe you wouldn't dare lie to me; you're someone who values ​​your life. By the way, the next trading time is to be determined; I'll let you know when it's scheduled."

Tsugawa, who was unloading the goods, stopped upon hearing this and remained silent for a while before asking, "These goods will probably only last for a month, if..."

"If you want to live, listen to me. If you're entitled to a certain amount of money, then take it while you can. Don't be tempted to take what isn't yours, or you'll end up with a place in Tokyo Bay."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Director Tsugawa wiped the sweat from his brow as he recalled the terror of the black-clad organization.

Although he had killed someone yesterday and had developed a violent aura, he was as docile as a dog in front of Tequila. The oppressive feeling Tequila gave him was like a mountain.

The number of people who died at the hands of the other side is probably no less than double digits, and it's even possible that it's triple digits.

What's more, there were other people behind him. He had seen those people once from afar, and just one glance from them had almost made him wet his pants. How many people must they have killed?

A dozen minutes later, Director Tsugawa finally unloaded all the books.

Fortunately, they were all packed in boxes, so they were relatively easy to move.

However, for someone who is nearly sixty years old, these things are still quite troublesome.

It's all that Yutian's fault. He was just doing his job as an assistant, wasn't he?
Yesterday, they actually dared to threaten him with 50 million yen. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have killed them.

He had already given him a lot, but this guy was not only greedy, he even threatened to report him to the Metropolitan Police Department if he didn't give him money.

Damn!

"Where's your assistant?" Tequila didn't help, tossed the briefcase onto the passenger seat, and glanced back into the library several times.

Usually at this time, Tsugawa's assistant, Tamada, would come out to help with the moving, but he wasn't seen today, which was a bit strange.

"Hehe, it's just me today." Tsugawa chuckled, a strange smile appearing on his monkey-like face. "He won't be here in the future either."

Tequila understood Tsugawa's meaning, but her expression remained unchanged. She simply said coldly, "Clean your own tracks and don't leave any loose ends. If you get caught by the police, you'd better keep your mouth shut. You know what we're capable of. Even in the Metropolitan Police Department, we can easily kill you and your family."

After saying that, Tequila opened the car door and got in.

"Mr. Tequila, please wait a moment. If you have any stock, please contact me immediately."

His response was truck exhaust fumes.

hateful!

If it weren't for the organization's immense power, he might have actually considered killing Tequila. Ever since killing Tamada Kazuo yesterday, his malice seemed to have been completely unleashed, and his murderous intent had intensified considerably.

They even threatened him and his family?
Haha, he's already involved in drug trafficking, why does he care about his family? All he cares about now is his own financial future.

As for going to jail, he never considered it.
