Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 248 Ai Haibara's Camping and Relaxation Trip

Cold sweat beaded on the spider's forehead, and a bad thought welled up in its mind.

"The Justice Killer."

These four words suddenly appeared in his mind and kept churning within him. He then looked at the other person's hand.
Even now, Princess Thorn still clutches the golden cone tightly, as if she hasn't left the battlefield.

"We are all assassins hired by the Black Robe Organization. You wouldn't be planning to attack me, would you?"

Spider swallowed hard, took two steps back, and by now he was somewhat certain that this guy really seemed to be preparing to attack him.

Princess Thorn did not answer any of his questions, only staring at him with cold eyes.

That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a corpse.

Without a word, the spider took off running. "Damn madman! This guy is definitely planning to kill me. He has that look in his eyes when he kills people too. I know it all too well."

Moreover, it also contains expressions that only a weakling would show.

Although he was treated as a weakling, Spider had no intention of fighting Thorn Princess to the death. What was the point of talking to the top assassin in the dark world? Of course, he would run as far away as possible and save his life.

Princess Thorn's performance today amazed everyone. She killed most of the peripheral members of the Black Organization; he was at most an assistant.

After realizing the disparity in strength between themselves and their enemy, the spider had no intention of resisting and only wanted to escape.

"Fool!" The Thorn Princess vanished from her spot like a ghost.

The spider ran for several kilometers, panting heavily, and found no movement behind it. Taking a moment to catch its breath, it looked back.

"What about people?"

Behind him, the so-called Princess Thorn had long since disappeared, as if she had never chased after him in the first place.

"Am I overthinking it? Is she really just choosing to leave in the same direction as me?"

Thinking of this, the spider felt a little calmer, but remained vigilant. It was hard to fake that murderous gaze unless the other party always had such dead fish eyes.

"What a crazy woman."

The ghostly figure of the Thorn Princess flashed through his mind. He had always thought of himself as the top assassin in the underworld, but now it seemed that he had just not encountered a truly freak before.

Not to mention the Thorn Princess, even that tall, middle-aged man whose suit was made of bulletproof material was difficult for him to handle.

"Are you looking for me?"

The woman's voice pierced Spider's heart like a biting wind. In the heavy rain, he felt ice forming under his feet, and the feeling of being frozen spread directly from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

When did you get ahead of me?
He had only one thought in his mind, and then naturally turned around to look at the other person.

The moment he turned around, he felt dizzy, as if heaven and earth had merged into one. In one instant, he saw a sky filled with dark clouds and torrential rain, and in another instant, he saw a wet ground.

Suddenly, his eyes widened as if he had seen something extraordinary.

Huh, is this my body?
Blood is gushing from my neck, and where's my head? Where's my head?

Thoughts surged through his mind, and memories of half a lifetime flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

So, my head has already flown away.

A look of fear spread rapidly. The spider opened its mouth, but no sound came out.

Because his throat had been cut off!
When he opened his mouth, only fresh blood gushed out.

One second later.

The spider's head fell into the mud, and mud and sand poured into its mouth. Its eyes were wide open, as if it were accusing the mud and sand of having a salty and fishy taste.

His body seemed not to have reacted yet, and he completed the turn a second after his head hit the ground.

The body, having completed its turn, was blown off balance by the wind and tilted to the side, finally landing in the same puddle as its head, its right hand pressed against its head as if it were holding an ordinary basketball.

"It's finally over."

After confirming that the spider's body had been separated from its body, Joel took off his mask and exhaled several long breaths.

"As expected of one of the most powerful organizations in the underworld, they are incredibly powerful!"

Today, she fought against Tequila, Bourbon, and Gin, all three of whom are very strong.

Speaking of which, these are only three codenamed members of this organization. It seems that this organization is indeed not simple. An organization must have more than three codenamed members, at least dozens. Joel is already having a headache.

All three are so formidable; anyone considering taking action against this organization again will probably have to think twice.

Even with formidable martial prowess, physical strength has its limits; after a series of battles, she would eventually run out of steam.

"Luckily I was wearing a mask, otherwise my identity would have been exposed."

This operation is different from previous ones, where no one survived. If one's face is exposed, it will undoubtedly expose one's identity.

She never underestimated the investigative capabilities of these underworld organizations; once she showed her face, it was only a matter of time before she was found.

Thinking of this, she turned her head to look to her left, where the zoo staff had just left from.

"Should we go up and kill a few more?"

After a moment's thought, Joel decided to give up. After all, this was his employer. Even if he wanted to take action, he should wait until he received the money. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

"Let's go back to sleep, we have to go to work tomorrow."

She yawned, then reverted to her adorable, dazed look, and continued down the mountain path until she finally left this place of trouble.

The conflict between the two organizations was not publicized in newspapers or on television.

Even the death of the spider was suppressed by the police.

The police must not let the public know about such terrorist activities, otherwise the police will also be labeled as useless.

Over the course of several days, Xia Chuan did not see any news about the castle or the battle in the newspapers.

Through deduction, he determined that the people present that day were from the Public Security Bureau, and it was very likely that they were Yuri, because only the Public Security Bureau could control public opinion.

If the Metropolitan Police Department had arrived at the scene, newspapers and television stations would have been aware of it, and related reports would likely have appeared the next day.

In the newspapers, Kogoro Mouri continued his steady "performance".

They are going further and further down the path of death.

He had heard about this from Joel when he was on a date with him the other day.

Some people in the Metropolitan Police Department have already labeled Kogoro Mouri a jinx, since he seems to bring death wherever he goes. If it weren't for the fact that they always manage to find the culprit, Inspector Megure would have thought that Kogoro Mouri committed all of these crimes himself.

Kogoro Mouri solves another bizarre case; the hidden grudges and rivalries within Nichiri Television Station.

Without a doubt, this newspaper must be a rival business of Nichiri TV.

"Mihana Town Murder Case Drama Episode 27: Locked Room Murder Case (20)!!!"

Excellent! Beika Town is full of talented people, and this newspaper is also full of talent, even turning it into a serialized column.

The Kogoro Mouri series: A sisterly feud sparked by an idol

The title was quite intriguing, and Natsukawa initially thought it was related to Yoko Okino. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be about a younger sister stealing her older sister's boyfriend, and while Yoko Okino did play a role, it wasn't significant.

It was just that her older sister was handing out tickets at the entrance of Yoko Okino's concert in order to find an alibi, and she randomly picked someone, who turned out to be Kogoro Mouri.

Then the ending was tragic; the famous detective solved the scheme that the other party had been planning for half a month in just one hour.

"It would have been fine if we'd run into anyone else, but we had to run into a Maori gang. Serves them right!"

Natsukawa stretched, put the newspaper on the table, pulled down his sunglasses, glanced at Ai Haibara next to him, and said, "How is it? Isn't sunbathing especially comfortable?"

"good."

Ai Haibara was speechless. It was the weekend, and she had been looking forward to finally being able to focus on her research, but Natsukawa wouldn't let her leave the house. He launched into a long, stern lecture about the dangers of playing computer games, righteously threatening to lock her up for a day.

Unable to persuade her otherwise, she had no choice but to accept it.

However, sunbathing is indeed nice, especially when a warm breeze blows, it gives you a feeling of relaxation.

Was Natsukawa just paying attention to Conan's affairs?
While sunbathing, she noticed the newspaper that Natsukawa was reading, as well as a pile of old newspapers stacked in the corner of the balcony. Natsukawa seemed to be somewhat concerned about the case that Kogoro Mouri had solved.

He referred to the Mori family and Conan as the Mori Gang.
Ai Haibara always felt that Natsukawa must have learned something, but she wasn't sure exactly what it was. However, she was certain that Natsukawa had some suspicions about Conan.

After spending this time together, she realized that Natsukawa's trust in Conan was a bit too much; it wasn't like treating a child at all, but rather like treating an adult his own age.

“You can’t stare at the computer all day. You need to take proper breaks to balance work and rest.” Xia Chuan raised his eyebrows and said, “Look at this flower bed. You should come to the rooftop to look at the green plants from time to time. It’s good for your eyes. Don’t end up like Conan, who has to wear glasses at such a young age.”

"Spend more time with Anya. No matter how much you like playing games, you can't play them every day. There has to be a limit. Even if you're eager to regain your memories, you have to take it step by step."

Natsukawa rambled on and on, and it wasn't all acting. Ai Haibara couldn't go on like this; she was visibly getting tired.

"I see."

Although I find Natsukawa quite annoying at times, Ayumi says that this seems to be the role that parents play.

They will tirelessly teach you and remind you. They will nag you and say things you may not like or find boring, but it has to be said that this is how parents care for you.

After spending some time together, Xia Chuan and Yu Er's care for her spoke volumes. They didn't reduce their concern for Anya because of her; in fact, she felt that Anya was even more pitiful.

The fatherly and motherly love that I had never experienced before was now being made up for.

Although she was already eighteen years old, these words might sound a bit childish, but Xia Chuan and Yue Er didn't know that, so this is indeed fatherly and motherly love.

"Father, father~"

Anya's calls came from the first floor, then the second floor, and finally she pushed open the rooftop door on the third floor.

"what happened again?"

Compared to Ai Haibara, Anya is the complete opposite.

They slept and woke up together, went to school and came home together, but Anya's personality didn't change at all; she was still impulsive and clumsy.

When an old father is upset, can't he learn from Ai Haibara?
"Professor Agasa said he'd take us on a picnic! Today, right now!"

Anya didn't care what the two were thinking; all she wanted to do was go out and have fun.

A picnic sounds interesting; who knows what kind of great adventure awaits her?

"now?"

Xia Chuan checked the time and found it was nine in the morning. This was indeed a good time to go out, as the sun wouldn't be too scorching.

"That's right! But Professor Agasa's little yellow bug can't carry all of us in the Detective Boys, so he was thinking..."

"You just want me to go with you?" Xia Chuan finished speaking for the other person.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly what Anya meant!"

"It's not impossible."

The brewery is currently engaged in an information war with the zoo, both sides trying to antagonize each other by leaking information about their bases to the Japanese. This has little to do with Natsukawa.

Tequila's current role is that of a professional assassin. Gin will handle these intelligence-related matters himself, or at worst, he'll call on Amuro Tooru. It has nothing to do with him, so he has nothing to do these days.

"Alright!"

Xia Chuan glanced back at Haibara Ai and smiled, "Let's go. Camping is a way to relax. The forest air is fresh and the sun is shining. It will definitely help you recover your memories."

I've heard the starry sky in the forest is exceptionally beautiful; you might even be able to see the Big Dipper.

There was something Natsukawa didn't say aloud: he hoped he wouldn't encounter any cases.

However, the possibility is slim, but even if something happens, it's still better than Ai Haibara staying at home.

If one car can't carry it all, it means that the entire Junior Detective League must be involved in the project.

So, what exactly is this case?

The Junior Detective Club encountered quite a few cases when they went out, and for a moment he had no clue what to do.

In short, a handgun is definitely a must.

Also, I've asked Dr. Agasa to bring along the web-shooting gun he developed these past few days.

The web-launching gun, as the name suggests, is a pistol that fires webs.

Inspired by Spider-Man, who provided the ideas, Dr. Agasa brought it to life.

This thing is extremely tough. Anyone hit by it will be completely wrapped in the web and lose the ability to resist. The more they struggle, the tighter the web becomes. The only drawback is that it can be cut by sharp objects.

However, it will take some time.

Overall, it's a pretty good invention.

Not wanting to be exposed too early, Xia Chuan could only choose some less common self-defense tools, which, combined with his martial arts skills, were enough to handle most situations.

The outskirts of Tokyo.

Yellow Beetles and GTRs drive along forest trails.

It is said that Professor Agasa consulted many friends who are mountaineering and camping enthusiasts before determining this location, and the scenery is excellent.

Soon, they passed through the dense forest and arrived at a canyon.

The canyon is completely covered by forests on both sides, and a winding river runs through the middle of the canyon.

Following the slope, a spacious campsite comes into view.

This area should also be within the river channel, but due to the weather, the water volume is low, so it can be used as a camping site.

This place is sparsely populated, but the scenery is quite beautiful.

Mountain spring water flows through the river, its clear sound ringing out, while birds perch on branches, singing and chirping.
