Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 247 Thorn Princess, what are you planning to do?
Lone Wolf's lips twitched. He thought this battle might not be easy, so he asked the person who was supposed to meet him to arrive later, changing the meeting time to 1.5 hours after departure.

Looking back now, it seems I've ended up hurting myself.

Lone Wolf was speechless. It seemed that apart from bringing in the Thorn Princess and the Spider, his decisions were a complete mess.

But you can't really blame him entirely.

Who would have thought that a bullet could intercept a cannonball? He remembered that when he met Gin a few years ago, the other man was very powerful, but he wasn't like this.

Is this Barrett being used as a rifle?

They finally managed to use the poison fog bomb, only to find that everyone at the brewery had a gas mask.

In his plan, as soon as the poison spread, it would immediately create a chaotic vacuum, which they could then use to retreat.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Theory without practice is ultimately superficial; true understanding comes from experience. Only now did Lone Wolf understand the meaning of those words his teacher had spoken in school.

"Should we continue fighting?" Amuro Tooru turned his gaze away from the wreckage of the GTR. Well, it's broken, but we can always find Pisco Territory again.

His mood had sunk to rock bottom, and giving up was the main theme now.

He didn't want to fight anymore. He was already exhausted after exchanging a few blows with the Thorn Princess. If they continued, he was afraid that the Thorn Princess would wipe out all the codenamed members.

Don't be fooled by Gin's seemingly unfazed performance; he's probably just putting on an act. After his encounter with the Thorn Princess, he'll realize what true invincibility is.

"Of course we have to fight!"

Gin threw Barrett to the ground.

Just now, Barrett was used as a fire poker by him, and was hit twice by the Thorn Princess's golden spike. The barrel was bent and it was obviously ruined.

However, he also has a pistol!
"Go to hell!"

When Princess Thorn saw Gin raise his gun, she immediately picked up her golden cone and engaged him in combat.

Bullets were dodged one by one, but Gin was not annoyed and began to fight hand-to-hand with his opponent.

"Firing guns while fighting, is this the legendary gun-fu?"

Natsukawa stood next to Amuro Tooru, watching with a smile as Gin and the Thorn Princess fought.

Compared to his marksmanship, Gin's hand-to-hand combat skills were in no way inferior; at least his strength was considerable, and he didn't show much weakness when exchanging blows with the Thorn Princess.

Of course, it's also possible that he was faking it.

At least Natsukawa saw that Gin's hands, which were behind his back, were trembling slightly.

"Quite arrogant."

Xia Chuan chuckled twice from an angle where no one could see him. Gin really cared about his reputation; he was still putting on a brave face at this moment.

Amuro Tooru's face darkened. If Tequila could say something like that at a time like this, there was definitely something wrong with her!
Gin is his older brother, and anyone who is truly loyal to their partner would not have this expression. You can see this from Vodka.

Vodka's expression was solemn as he held up his pistol, aiming repeatedly in sync with the Thorn Princess's movements, trying to help Gin find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. He glanced at Tequila, who seemed to be watching the show with amusement.

"Aren't you going to help? Gin seems to be in a bad situation right now," Amuro Tooru teased.

Xia Chuan paused for a moment, gave the other person a strange look, and said nothing.

After sending the message to Yuri, he subconsciously assumed that Amuro Tooru must have realized that there was something wrong with his identity. After all, Miyano Akemi had been handed over to the Public Security Bureau. With Amuro Tooru's intelligence, it was impossible that he didn't realize that there was something wrong with him.

Seeing the other person's expression, Amuro Tooru swallowed back the urge to retort that was on the tip of his tongue.

The battle between Gin and the Thorn Princess was fierce. Vodka found several opportunities to fire his gun, but to no avail.

Even when focused on fighting Gin, the Thorn Princess can still easily dodge or defend against his sneak attacks.

"Try firing another shot!"

Seemingly getting impatient with the vodka, the Thorn Princess glanced back at the vodka while creating some distance between herself and Gin.

The crimson eyes were like the gaze of death itself. The distillery's ace driver's hand trembled, and the pistol fell to the ground.

"Something that fails to accomplish anything but fails to accomplish anything!"

Gin gritted his teeth, but he didn't want to fight the Thorn Princess any longer.

And
He turned his head to look at the horizon.

In the distance, the roar of propellers mingled with the sound of rain.

"Are they officials from Japan?"

Lone Wolf also saw the helicopter, but it wasn't his rescue force.

"Lone Wolf, shouldn't we go now? Is this enough?" Snake asked timidly.

That's too dangerous. It's safer to fight with Phantom Thief Kid. At least he won't pull out a gun and kill people all the time.

The Black Organization is too dangerous; he will never forget today's firefight.

Lone Wolf didn't know how he felt about the Black Organization, but if he encountered them again, he would definitely take a detour; none of them were normal people.

In the end, their losses were not much less than the other side's.

"This is really bad. Damn the Metropolitan Police Department, how did they discover the problem here so quickly?"

Lone Wolf looked somewhat disappointed, but in reality, he also wanted to leave.

Fortunately, today's operation was backed by the Thorn Princess and the Spider; otherwise, their actions would have been like lambs to the slaughter.

"Let's retreat!" Lone Wolf waved his hand, took a few steps back, and disappeared into the bushes and forest behind him.

This operation was one he hadn't prepared for; it was his first time facing the Black Organization head-on, and he hadn't expected these codenamed members of the brewery to be such monsters.

Now that the Japanese officials have arrived after hearing the news, the fighting can no longer continue.

"Ok?"

Xia Chuan glanced back at Amuro Tooru. The fact that the officials were able to arrive at the scene so quickly must be related to Amuro Tooru.

The mountain is in a remote location, and even if the noise was too loud and it was discovered, the police wouldn't have been able to arrive at the scene so quickly. There must have been someone tipping them off by Amuro Tooru.

"What?" Amuro Tooru rubbed his nose, avoiding eye contact with Tequila.

You scoundrel, how could you tell I called the police?

However, this is for everyone's benefit. If the police hadn't arrived quickly, who knows how things would have ended up?

Can't you see that Gin is losing ground and is showing signs of defeat?

As Lone Wolf departed, Spider turned and darted into the woods; he had wanted to leave for a long time. He vowed never to touch any mission involving the Black Organization again!
As an illusionist and hypnotist, he's completely incompatible with a bunch of freaks who prove their worth through force. It's much more satisfying to bully people like Hakuba Saguru who use their brains.

He arrived as an elegant gentleman, but left with a bruised and battered face, two of the red eyes on his mask shattered. What bad luck! A mage shouldn't have faced off against a warrior head-on. The Thorn Princess glanced in the direction the Lone Wolf had left, then fixed her gaze on the direction the Spider had gone, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable light, as if she had made up her mind.

She completely ignored Gin in front of her, distanced herself, and without leaving a word, stepped back and jumped into the bushes, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The lone wolf has already left, and the Metropolitan Police Department is about to arrive. She can't afford to waste any more time here; she can't very well attack her colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Another thing is that she set her sights on the spider.

This guy is a notorious serial killer in the underworld. In his eyes, men, women, children, and the elderly are no problem. As long as the client can afford the price, he, the contractor, is capable of anything.

This guy was previously active in Europe, and she hadn't received any missions from him. Now that she'd run into him, there was no reason for her to let him leave so easily.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Vodka moved closer to Gin and asked.

"Evacuate according to the original plan."

"The evacuation ships are ready; let's go now."

This shootout is bound to attract the attention of the Metropolitan Police Department or the Public Security Bureau, and Xia Chuan had already prepared an escape route.

They left directly by boat from the cliff below the castle, and then dispersed to another shore where pre-arranged vehicles were waiting to evacuate.

Police estimated it would take another five minutes to arrive at the scene, and with the darkness and heavy rain, it could take even longer, giving them ample time to leave undetected.

The words are divided into two parts.

The distillery staff were evacuating in an orderly manner, while the helicopters in the distance deliberately slowed down.

On the helicopter, Yuri was peering through binoculars at the distant ruins and wreckage.

The flames from the explosion were extinguished by rain, and a thick, grayish-white fog drifted away. There had been no sound from the scene for some time.

"It looks like they've already left. Let's go over there."

"By the way, why did Mr. Furuya insist that the Public Security Bureau come here personally for the cleanup work? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the Metropolitan Police Department to handle this?" Kazami Yuya asked curiously.

Beside him were several upright public security police officers, all of whom were Yuri's men and shared the same doubts.

"Can a group of police officers who need to rely on detectives be trusted?"

Of course, my own sister is an exception.

Yuri shares Rei Furuya's dissatisfaction with the Metropolitan Police Department.

He's good for nothing but cleaning up the battlefield.

Relying solely on detectives to solve cases has tarnished the public image of the Japanese government; involving them would only cause trouble. This case involves a clash between two underworld organizations, making it impossible for the Metropolitan Police Department to get involved.

There is a high probability that there are spies from both organizations within the Metropolitan Police Department. I received a notification from Rei Furuya before the operation began. If the Metropolitan Police Department had been notified at that time to clean up the mess, the two organizations would have discovered it during their subsequent investigation.

Before they even begin their operation, the police have already obtained information that both sides are preparing to engage in battle, which would lead them to suspect that there are spies within their ranks.

But if he arrived too late, he feared that the two sides would fight each other to the death, and if the fighting escalated and continued, the ordinary people would be the ones to suffer.

This wreckage clearly shows that several helicopters were shot down, so it's impossible to say they cared about the social impact.

This was not the situation Yuri wanted to see. Furuya Rei had also considered this, which was why he notified him and asked him to find a trustworthy subordinate to prevent the information from being leaked. No one knew whether these two organizations had any moles within the Public Security Bureau.

After arriving, the helicopter circled over the castle for a few minutes to make sure no one was there before slowly landing.

The intense smell of gunpowder and blood at the scene horrified everyone.

Limbs and rubble were mixed together, and the ruins of the castle resembled a meat grinder. This sight caused one of the new recruits to run to the edge of the cliff and start vomiting.

It's not that they weren't trained, but rather that even training didn't involve such terrifying scenes; it was truly a living hell.

"This is insane. These two organizations completely disregard the Japanese government."

“Who says otherwise? And look.” One of them moved the stones and removed the gas mask from the face of a man in black. “Another Western face.”

Yuri shook his head; it seemed impossible to find any clues from the identities of these dead.

The peripheral combat personnel of the two organizations are mostly mercenaries from all over the world, with a small number being Japanese. Even among the Japanese, due to the country's imperfect identity system, it is virtually impossible to ascertain their specific identities unless one is extremely lucky.

Perhaps only the facial recognition system in the black iron fish shadow can make up for the deficiencies in Japan's national identity information.

Xia Chuan knew this, which is why he didn't clean up the battlefield.

“They’ve left.” Yuri glanced at his phone, which showed a message from Amuro Tooru confirming that both sides had left. Yuri then had his team check the scene again to make sure there was no useful information before calling the Metropolitan Police Department to clean up the mess.

"Shouldn't we take this opportunity to give chase? That black-robed organization shouldn't have gone far, right?"

Kazami Yuya also saw the message on Yuri's phone, knowing that the people from the zoo had gone into the forest.

Not only were there people from the zoo, but also the Thorn Princess and the Spider.

Mr. Furuya is also with the Black Organization, so it's definitely not a good idea to chase after them. There's no such concern with the Black Robe Organization. We don't know if Kazami Yu has any spies in that organization, but at least the people who came this time definitely didn't.

"Even Gin wasn't a match for the Thorn Princess, do you think you could?"

Yuri rubbed his temples. "Princess Thorn, who exactly is this person? A righteous assassin who only targets bad guys, I really want to see just how powerful she is."

To be honest, he didn't think the Thorn Princess could be as invincible as rumored, and he was also skeptical of her nickname "Justice Killer." An assassin is an assassin; why distinguish between justice and evil? Isn't that ridiculous?

However, no matter how powerful the opponent is, they could never be a match for her older sister.

"Alright, our purpose in appearing here is simply to bring both sides to a ceasefire. Once that's achieved, we don't need to worry about anything else."

On the other side, the Thorn Princess, whom he had been talking about, had already caught up with the spider's pace.

The spider ran very fast, but Joel ran even faster and caught up with it in no time.

"What are you doing following me, you idiot?"

Spider turned around and glared angrily at Princess Thorn. This girl had been with him all the way, and they were almost out of the desolate mountains, so why hadn't she left yet?

That said, having the other person following behind him always gave him a feeling of tingling on his scalp and a chill down his spine.

"."

Joel didn't say a word, just stared intently at the spider.

The spider stopped, and she stopped too. The two seemed to be playing a game of "Red Light, Green Light." If you don't turn around, I'll chase you; if you stop and turn around, I'll do it in sync with you.

"Princess Thorns, what do you want to do?"
