Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 232 We need to use some drastic measures!
Xia Chuan, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, rubbed his chin as he listened to the gossip, hesitating whether or not to save Snake.

This guy isn't very capable; Kaito always manages to outmaneuver him.

If he dies, the zoo doesn't know who they'll send to target Kaito next. What if it's someone not to be trifled with?
What if Kaito gets crushed by a new rival?
Considering this situation, Xia Chuan decided to take action to rescue Snake.

However, before he could make a move, he saw that Snake, who was under control, took advantage of Baileys's phone call to suddenly tap his toe hard.

Baileys didn't notice this detail; most of her attention was focused on the phone.

Xia Chuan saw everything clearly and realized that there might be a turning point, so he decided to observe for a while longer.

Soon.

He then heard light footsteps.

Their steps are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more numerous.

Finally, a dozen or so people in black trench coats passed by the narrow path in front of him.

He hid behind a door at the corner of the corridor and was not discovered.

It seems that Snake should use some method to remind his companion of his actions just now.

Out of curiosity about the strength of the hyena Higashino Ichimei, and also because he wanted to observe Baileys's methods, he ultimately decided to observe the duel between the two sides.

Baileys is fighting against a dozen burly men in black robes all by herself.

It's a bit R-rated, but he's sure Baileys has something special about it.

After all, they are codenamed members.

The members on the outside of the distillery are all average, but the codenamed members are definitely the elite of the elite.

There were many people, and even though the voices were very soft, Baileys still heard them.

Immediately afterwards, she saw a group of burly men file out of the cabin corridor, and she immediately retreated to the deck.

"Vodka, cover my retreat!"

These men in black robes were up to no good, and she couldn't possibly handle them alone.

Moreover, he had a hostage in his hands, and it was obviously unrealistic to fight back while holding the hostage.

Armed helicopters flew around the top deck and came to the rear.

The beam of the huge searchlight shone on Higashino Kazuki and his group.

"."

Higashino Kazuki thought victory was assured, as his opponent was only one person. However, when the searchlight shone on him, he immediately retreated back into the cabin.

"Let him go, or you're dead!"

In the crowded cabin passageway, pistols were pointed directly at Baileys on the outer deck.

Although he didn't know who these people were, Higashino Kazuki was furious!

Helicopters are a scarce resource in their organization, and losing three at once will definitely get them a scolding when they get back.

The key issue is that the Dark Star still hasn't been acquired. After that, the Suzuki Group became wary, making it virtually impossible for them to take action.

"Snecke, that piece of trash!"

Higashino Kazuki was secretly annoyed by Snake's lack of ambition, but he had no choice but to come to his rescue.

After all, they are all members of the organization, and they see each other all the time.

Moreover, the opponent is only one person, so there is still a great chance.

The armed helicopters overhead couldn't reach the cabin door at all; they still had the advantage.

"Let him go, or I'll shoot."

Baileys raised an eyebrow and smiled; at this point, it was really hard to say who had the advantage.

Snake was used as a human shield by her, and Higashino Yiming dared not go out. If the other party fired first, Snake would definitely die, but she might not.

“I can give him to you, but you have to hand over the Dark Star.”

She had originally planned to take Snake back for interrogation, but now it seems that won't work.

However, if they can exchange the other party for the Dark Star, then this deal will not be a loss.

The fact that this organization mobilized such a strong armed force to seize it means it must be a valuable item.

Even if we can't sell it to the Suzuki Foundation, we can still use it to trade with the Black Robe Organization to annoy them. After all, the organization isn't interested in gems, but they are more interested in money.

Dark Star
Speaking of this thing makes Higashino Ichimei angry, and now the Dark Star is no longer in his hands.

If Kaito Kid was able to discover me, he probably already had contact with the Suzuki mother and daughter. The gems should have already been taken by them, so he wouldn't have any gems to trade.

Furthermore, their goal is the Dark Star, and even if they obtain it, they won't use it as ransom because Snake was captured.

He's still thinking about rescuing Snake as soon as possible, and then going to find Phantom Thief Kid to get the gem.

Higashino Kazuki said, "The Dark Star has already been taken by Phantom Thief Kid. If you want this gem, go ask him for it."

Baileys, of course, didn't believe it. With such a big fuss, how could they not have received it yet?

The armed helicopters in the sky fired a few shots at the hatch as a threat.

"It seems things won't end well today." A cold glint flashed in Higashino Ichiming's eyes as he gestured to his subordinates behind him.

Noticing the other person's movement, Bailey narrowed her eyes and placed her finger on the trigger.

Just as Higashino Kazuki was about to forcibly rescue the person.

dong dong dong-

Suddenly, more than a dozen dark stars rolled to the ground.

"."

Having witnessed the Phantom Thief Kid's flash smoke bombs before, both sides immediately closed their eyes to avoid the flash.

Some of these dark stars fell into the ship's cabins, while others exploded directly on the deck.

The intense light and thick smoke instantly calmed the situation down.

The vodka overhead was stunned by what it saw and quickly lowered its altitude to disperse the thick fog.

He dared not fire directly; Baileys was still downstairs. If he accidentally blew her up, Vermouth would kill him.

Although she didn't know who was behind it, Baileys took the opportunity to run to the side of the deck to find cover.

Snake knew this was his only chance to fight back. Seizing the opportunity, he forcefully broke free from Baileys's grip and disappeared into the smoke.

"hateful!"

After several gunshots, there was no further movement, and Bailey knew that the other party had escaped.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this guy escaped like a mudfish.

"Hyena, fire!"

Snake's voice came through the thick smoke. Higashino Yiming's brows relaxed. It seemed that Snake had taken this opportunity to break free from the other party's control.

This is good news, but there's also bad news.

Kaito Kid is here!

Those few dark stars weren't his doing.

His smoke grenades were metallic silver, while the others had a black star design.

It's unclear what Kaito Kid's purpose was in throwing those flashbang smoke bombs, but they certainly helped him a lot.

Seeing that the smoke outside was about to dissipate, Higashino Kazuki took out a few refill smoke grenades from his inner pocket, and then took the opportunity to signal his men to fire.

Gunfire continued, and the battlefield officially shifted from the top deck to the rear deck on the first floor.

The frenzied gunfire mingled with the crackling sound of metal striking metal. Above, Vodka, without hesitation, opened fire on the location of the hatch he remembered.

The black-robed men who had just stepped out of the cabin instantly exploded.

A Gatling gun of this power doesn't just cause a penetrating wound; the impact is so great that it can cause the wound to explode open.

Inspector Nakamori, who was on the foredeck, noticed a strange change in the situation. It seemed that two groups of people had run to the aft deck and started fighting. He immediately gathered his officers and rushed into the cabin, heading to the aft deck through the cabin passageway.

At this moment, Xia Chuan naturally wouldn't let Nakamori Ginzo get involved. He produced a few jet-black stars and tossed them into the passageway.

Then the partition door in the middle was closed and locked.

That way, Inspector Nakamori can't get over unless he walks from the side of the deck.

But Inspector Nakamori certainly wouldn't be that stupid!
With armed helicopters from an unknown force overhead, being exposed in the open is practically suicide.

Those few dark stars were certainly not Kaito's doing.

It was his.

Many people who discovered the problem with the Dark Star removed it, and it was everywhere on the path from the hall to the deck. Xia Chuan picked up quite a few along the way, all for this moment.

Frank only brought a pistol and a bulletproof vest with him; the rest were his equipment for monitoring the entire ship, so he had to resort to trickery.

"Frank, keep an eye on Inspector Nakamori's situation. Let me know if he tries to run to the aft deck, and also, cut off all the ship's surveillance cameras!"

When we get back, we must make Kaito thank him properly; he saved his father-in-law's life.

"I see."

Knowing that Xia Chuan might be preparing to make a move, Frank nodded and typed a few words on the keyboard, cutting off all surveillance.

Inspector Nakamori ran out of the cabin corridor looking completely bewildered. Damn it, why does Kaito Kid's smoke bomb smell like garlic this time?

Confused, I quickly ran towards the control room. I couldn't get to the rear deck, but I could at least check the surveillance footage.

However, when he arrived at the control room, he found that all the screens were displaying a black and white image with a distorted image.

"what happened?"

"The surveillance system may have been affected by the explosion and suddenly stopped working."

"Misfortunes never come singly!" Inspector Nakamori sighed and signaled to his officers via radio to gather all the ordinary people on the third basement level for protection.

The third basement level isn't too low, and it's a certain distance from the deck, so if an explosion occurs, it's highly unlikely to be affected. Even if the ship sinks, getting to the deck would be relatively quick.

He didn't know if the armed helicopter would sink the Sally Beth, and he was now prepared for the worst.

After finding Ran safe and sound, Conan prepared to go up to the deck to check the situation, but before he could go up, he was picked up by the police officers who came down to carry out orders.

They didn't care what he said, they just tucked him under their arm and ran down the street.

Are you kidding me? A little kid wants to go up on the deck? Aren't you afraid of dying?

Helpless, Conan pulled out a wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer dart and shot the police officer unconscious.

However, there were too many police officers, and after running only a few steps, he was spotted by another officer, and the same scene repeated itself.

Conan was out of options this time; he couldn't very well use his leg-strengthening shoes to knock the opponent unconscious, could he?

"Officer, what's happening up there?"

Conan only knew that there had been several explosions, but he knew almost nothing about what was happening up there. Since he couldn't go up now, he decided to ask around to find out what was going on.

"Pirates have landed on the deck, and it's been blown to bits. You stay here and don't wander off!"

Soon, a large group of ordinary people gathered on the third floor and stayed obediently under the reassurance of the police officers.

"Big brother, shall we go down now?"

Finding the deck quiet, Vodka turned to Gin and asked.

"of course."

Gin disengaged the safety on the two pistols in his hand, allowing the driver to descend.

It was at this moment that an electronically synthesized voice came through the radio.

"Gin, what are you doing?" The voice naturally came from Karasuma Renya. The brewery still used electronic synthesized voices, so he was the only one who could do it.

As the boss of the brewery, even though Gin hadn't reported the matter yet, he already knew the whole story.

Gin's recklessness is a real headache.

Their organization and the organization codenamed after animals kept to themselves, but Gin's actions could easily make them enemies.

However, he didn't say anything, tacitly agreeing to Gin's deployment of armed helicopters.

After all, he already knew about Piske's situation.

Since the other party made the first move, a proper counterattack is beneficial to maintaining the organization's prestige.

He had actually been paying attention to the situation the whole time, and felt that Gin had done enough. When he discovered that the other party planned to further attack the zoo, he immediately spoke up to stop them.

"boss"

Gin clearly had more to say.

He believed that the two missiles he had just fired were just a greeting; to truly show the other side the consequences of offending the organization, he would have to kill a few codenamed members.

Baileys meant that there were two zoo members here, and he intended to eliminate them both as a deterrent.

"That's enough. This level of force is sufficient. If you keep hitting it, the rebound will be too severe, and you won't be able to withstand it."

It was another voice that spoke, and Gin recognized it immediately—it was Rum.

It seems that both old men are watching his every move.

Although he was somewhat annoyed and felt unsatisfied, since the boss and Rum had already intervened, Gin couldn't continue and waved for the pilot to retreat.

"Big brother, Baileys."

"Don't worry, she can do it," Gin said coldly.

After saying that, the armed helicopter that had been hovering over the Sallybeth quietly drove away.

They left behind two missiles when they came, and they left without taking a single cloud with them.

Baileys, who was below, overheard the conversation on the phone and her lips twitched.

You left so casually, didn't you consider that there was still one of your own people here?
She can do anything.
She'll definitely go back and complain to Vermouth, and she'll never help her with missions again; she's practically getting herself into trouble.

As a result, they simply dusted themselves off and left without taking a single cloud with them.

孽 孽!
However, this is how the brewery operates, and Baileys could only lament inwardly and look for an opportunity to escape.

Xia Chuan looked up at the helicopter disappearing into the sky, knowing that the confrontation was over. Naturally, he made no attempt to hide anything and prepared to make the distillery take the blame.

When he notified the distillery, he had already made up his mind to let the two organizations clash. The current situation, which started strong but ended weakly, was not the result he wanted to see.

He glanced at Higashino Kazuki, who had already walked to the cabin door, and made up his mind.

We need to use some drastic measures!
Higashino Ichimei, who was on the deck, suddenly felt a chill creep into his heart. He looked around and, after confirming that no one was hiding in the shadows, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Snake had somehow appeared beside him, clutching his right arm, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

It was clearly Baileys mixed with cigarette smoke that hit him.

"Should we retreat quickly too?"

Snake didn't want to stay a moment longer; today had been absolutely insane.

Having worked as a black glove manufacturer for so long, this is the first time I've encountered such a strong backlash.
