Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 3 Arrival in Neon
That night, Xia Chuan was communicating with people from the IRS using the dark web.

Neither side showed their faces, and their voices were specially processed, producing a mechanical and harsh sound.

He also used special vocal techniques to change the original tone and timbre of Xia Chuan's voice, making it deeper.

This is also a way to prevent the other party from filtering and processing the sound. Two layers of changes are enough to eliminate this possibility, so as to maintain the mystery of the spy 'Twilight'.

"Twilight, are you sure this mysterious organization codenamed after alcoholic beverages would operate in Japan?"

“That’s right. I had contact with one of them named Gin a few years ago, back in Japan. Japan is very likely one of their main bases.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by other noises. Xia Chuan guessed that they were talking about something.

Not long after, the sound came from the other side again.

"Yes, according to the information we obtained from the FBI, the other party does indeed have a lot of traces of operations in Japan. An FBI agent once infiltrated this organization, and his report did mention Japan many times."

Did the FBI obtain this?

Xia Chuan sneered. The United States is a country with a separation of powers, and the various departments are independent of each other. Why would the IRS be able to obtain information about the distillery from the FBI? Under normal circumstances, the FBI would definitely not give it to them.

Of course, if the FBI director is suspected of tax evasion, then that's a different story.

As for who the FBI agent they mentioned is, is there even a question? Of course, it's that scumbag Shuichi Akai. He's a pitiful guy; he went through so much trouble to get some information from the brewery, only to have it traded away as a bargaining chip by his superiors.

I don't know if Miyano Akemi is dead or not. I didn't see any information about a billion yen heist in Kogoro Mouri's files.

However, it's good that the two broke up, after all, they are cousins, not to mention the fifth degree of kinship, they haven't even been separated from the third generation yet.

Akemi Miyano's mother, Elena Miyano, and Shuichi Akai's mother, Mary Akai, are sisters.

Aren't they cousins?

In such a relationship, breaking up is the best option, but it seems that Miyano Akemi still loved Akai Shuichi until her death.

Shuichi Akai still hasn't realized his relationship with Akemi Miyano even after more than a thousand episodes, making them the most tragic couple in the entire series.

That wretched Qingshan, all he can think about is his childhood sweetheart.

Really speechless.

Xia Chuan shook his head, putting aside these ambiguous relationships. They were still in a meeting; he shouldn't let his mind wander to irrelevant things.

"As per your request, we will prepare the guns and ammunition as soon as possible. However, I did not expect that the dignified King of Spies, 'Twilight,' would also be short of guns and ammunition."

"Because you have to pay taxes if you buy it yourself."

Xia Chuan's words instantly silenced the other side, leaving the IRS speechless.

The person on the other end coughed twice to cover up their embarrassment. "Find clues about the Black Organization as soon as possible, and report any information about their businesses immediately."

Xia Chuan hummed in agreement and waited quietly.

"The funds and weapons will be delivered on Saturday. I'll give you the address. Remember, find clues about the Black Organization as soon as possible."

After saying that, the other end of the call ended immediately.

The IRS's eagerness is clearly due to their envy of the distillery's assets. They must have obtained some additional information from the FBI, which has at least increased their valuation of the distillery significantly.

Xia Chuan doesn't care about any of this. He's not that interested in money. If he really needs money, there's always the Twilight Villa to fleece him.

That building must have cost at least several billion dollars to build. The entire exterior is covered in gold leaf, and even just a layer of gold leaf has extremely high value. Add to that the gold and silver treasures hidden inside, and the wealth is truly astounding.

Moreover, the name "Twilight Villa" is the same as his code name in the underworld, which is probably his destiny with Twilight Villa.

Neon.

Tokyo Rice Flower Town.

Xia Chuan, Bond, and Frank strolled along, with Anya sitting on Bond's white back, looking like a princess riding a white horse.

"Father, where is home? Anya is so tired."

“How could you be tired? You’ve been riding on Bond’s back the whole way, and you still say you’re tired.”

Bond couldn't help but nod his head; if anyone was tired, it was probably the dog.

"Hmph, Bond is not cute at all."

Hearing Bond's complaints, Anya grinned, buried her head in Bond's fur, and fell fast asleep.

Natsukawa bought a house across from Kogoro Mouri's house, a three-story house with a courtyard. At this time, Japan's economy was weak, so the price was not expensive, and since Natsukawa paid in full upfront, the family quickly agreed.

As for buying a villa, Xia Chuan had no such idea. They weren't from a large family. Only he and Anya would live here, and maybe Bond at most. There was no need for a house that was too big. On the contrary, a house that was too big would make it feel like home.

Frank will also stay in Japan, but he won't live here.

Unlike Xia Chuan, he preferred living in large mansions and had already bought a villa. He had originally planned to hire a nanny, but considering his profession as an information broker, he had to give up on that idea.

"arrive!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Anya revived on the spot, jumped off Bond's back, and went straight to the small three-story building in front of her.

boom!
It turns out you have to keep your eyes open while walking. Xia Chuan, carrying Anya with mosquito coil eyes, opened the door.

The house had been tidied up beforehand and was very clean and tidy. After reminding Frank to take off his shoes, Xia Chuan changed into slippers and went inside. The first floor was about 100 square meters, with only an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, and bathroom, so it felt extremely spacious.

The second floor has the same area, but the layout has three bedrooms: one master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms. In addition to the ensuite bathroom in the master bedroom, the two secondary bedrooms share a bathroom.

Go up the stairs to the third floor. This floor is quite special. There is a study with its own bathroom, and the rest of the area is open-air.

This small three-story building is actually only two and a half stories high.

However, Xia Chuan really likes this layout; the open-air platform on the third floor is a place where they can occasionally have barbecues and drink tea.

The railings are relatively low. Because of Anya and Bond's relationship, Natsukawa specially had a fence installed so that children and pets could play on the roof safely.

"Tsk tsk, it's pretty good, it just lacks a lady of the house." Frank suddenly regretted buying the big villa; perhaps this small three-story house would have been much more cozy.

Of course, by then it's too late to regret it; the money and goods are settled, and it's too much trouble to resell it.

Although Frank was just joking, Anya took it to heart. She had somehow regained her senses and skillfully grabbed Xia Chuan's leg.

"Father, please give me a mother."

She used her cuteness to her advantage, her fair face framed by two bright eyes, and she bit her lower lip pitifully.

A black line appeared on Xia Chuan's forehead. What he said...

“It should be ‘Find me a mother!’ Anya, you’ll get laughed at at school if you say that.”

Frank crouched down and earnestly explained to Anya the difference between 'being born' and 'finding'.

Seeing this little rascal, Xia Chuan sighed, wondering if adopting him was the right or wrong decision.

However, with that kind of speech, he really should go to school and study properly.

The midday sun was a bit too bright, so Xia Chuan shielded his eyes with his hand, walked to the edge of the railing, and looked across to the opposite side, where the Mouri Detective Agency was located.

From this vantage point, one can see the second floor of the Mori office. Natsukawa can easily see Kogoro Mori cultivating his mind through the open window.

If I'm not mistaken, the shows he watches are either horse racing betting or Yoko Okino's variety shows.

The life of a middle-aged man is so simple and boring. I really don't know why he would leave such a beautiful wife outside. If it were Xia Chuan, he would definitely try his best to bring her home.

Look how tired Ran is! Now there's Conan too, so she has to cook for three people. It's exhausting. She has to study and take care of this family whose mistress has run away from home.

"Ok?"

Conan, who was sitting at the dining table, suddenly sensed something strange and looked up at the window.

"What's wrong, kid? Is it too cold with the window open?"

boom!
Kogoro Mouri turned around and slammed the window shut.

Am I thinking too much?
Conan looked out the window at the empty balcony on the third floor across the street, and a sense of unease settled in his heart.

"It's alright, Uncle Kogoro. It is indeed a bit cold, but closing the windows might make it less ventilated."

"That kid is such a busybody."

A drunken Kogoro Mouri turned around and forcefully pulled the window open again, causing it to squeal.

"Dad! What are you doing!"

Xiaolan poked her head out of the kitchen, holding a spatula in her hand. She had heard the noise from inside the kitchen.

This window will probably get broken by my dad sooner or later.

"I've told you not to drink so much, but you still won't listen."

Xiaolan sighed, went back to the kitchen, and continued cooking.

On the third-floor balcony of the Xia Chuan residence, Xia Chuan sat on the ground of the rooftop.

A slight smile appeared on his lips. Conan is really perceptive; he was discovered in less than three seconds of observation.

As expected of Aoyama's favorite son, he receives much better treatment than the phantom thief who is often tormented by the witch.

“Father, how can you sit on the floor? The ceiling is cold.”

Anya somehow managed to break free from Frank's relentless pursuit and came to his side.

“Ania, this is Japan. I think it would be more appropriate for you to call Natsukawa ‘Dad’.”

Frank's hidden love of lecturing was awakened. He had also come from an orphanage and had a natural affinity for Anya. He genuinely wanted to teach Anya how to integrate into society.

"If you call him 'Dad,' will your father give Anya a mother?"

"Hey, Anya, how many times have I told you? It's 'find' not 'give birth'." Frank rubbed his forehead, feeling quite helpless. He had just finished teaching her, and she had already forgotten in the blink of an eye.

The clever and quick-witted agent, Huang Hun, was surprised to find his daughter so clumsy. Even if she was adopted, she shouldn't be like this. At this moment, another aspect of his personality was revealed to him!
I, Frank, am determined to make Anya a smart child!

However, Frank gave up half an hour later.

He held the bottle and silently poured the liquor down his throat.

A son born out of wedlock is beyond redemption.
If you like it, consider collecting and investing in it!
It would be even better if I could read it along with other readers!
