Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 404 Who exactly are you?

Natsukawa sensed Kisaragi Mine's thoughts, but did not take any action.

Ruyue Fengshui thought he had managed his expression well, glanced at the pistol, and then silently moved his feet.

He spat wildly as he approached the pistol.

"So, now that you know my plan, there's no need for you to leave!"

Ruyue Fengshui quickly crouched down, grabbed his pistol, and rolled to the wall, creating some distance between himself and Xia Chuan.

It's hard to imagine that a seventy-year-old man could have done that.

One can only say that the goddess of Mount Fuji may have given him his power.

"Although I don't know who you are, none of that matters now."

Ruyue Fengshui gave a cold snort and pulled the trigger directly.

Although he is an artist, he occasionally enjoys shooting when he has the leisure, and he is quite familiar with handguns.

"Kaka."

Xia Chuan smiled slightly, "Mr. Ruyue, don't worry, you may have forgotten to open an insurance policy."

Ruyue Fengshui looked embarrassed, then released the safety and pulled the trigger again.

"Click~"

A flame emerged from the gun barrel, and Xia Chuan casually pulled out a cigarette and lit it before Ruyue Fengshui could react.

A smoke ring hit Ruyue Fengshui's face, turning both the smoke and his complexion bluish.

"Sorry, I was just about to ask if it was okay to smoke indoors. Since you helped me light the fire, it should be fine."

Ruyue Fengshui's arm trembled as he pointed at Xia Chuan, but he couldn't utter a single word.

After finishing a cigarette, Xia Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground.

He disliked the kneeling posture of the Japanese, finding it uncomfortable, so he casually sat cross-legged on the ground, resting his chin on one hand.

"Although I don't understand your ideas, I can give you a chance."

Xia Chuan poured a glass of water and handed it to him. After fiddling with it for a while and being frightened by him like that, he decided to drink some water to calm himself down.

Ruyue Fengshui stood still, without saying a word.

"Oki Iwamatsu, Tokiwa Mio, Tokiwa Okiyoshi, Kazama Hidehiko and Hara Yoshiaki."

Xia Chuan named the five people one by one: "These five people should all be your targets, right? You want them to suffer that, yes, the wrath of the goddess, right?"

Although the man in black's words were very unpleasant and implied that he was defiling the goddess, Ruyue Fengshui still patiently nodded.

There's no other reason. When I rolled to the wall earlier, I think I strained my back. Now, let alone attacking the man in black, even taking a few more steps is torture for me.

"The opening ceremony of the Twin Towers skyscrapers is in five days. All five of us will be there then, making it the perfect time to make our move."

"You want to kill them too?"

"No, you are the one who wants to kill them. I'm just responsible for providing you with the appropriate method."

"what do you want?"

Ruyue Fengshui raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that the man in black did not seem to be there to cause him trouble.

However, there's no such thing as a free lunch. After all these years of hard work, he knew this all too well; the other party must have some demands.

"I need one of Tokiwa Mio's important USB drives. I heard that as a teacher, you can freely enter and leave her office. Stealing something shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Five days later, please help me replace the USB drive.

Xia Chuan took a USB flash drive out of his pocket.

This is a fake made by copying the design of Yuan Jiaming's No. 3 cipher disk.

It is so realistic that it can easily be mistaken for the real thing.

Of course, this is on the premise that it is not used.

On the day of the party, Tokiwa Mio will be busy socializing and definitely won't have time to do anything else, so changing clothes on that day would be the most suitable option.

As for how to obtain it, that's up to Ruyue Fengshui.

"You really want to help me?"

Ruyue Fengshui didn't know what the USB drive was for, but as long as it could achieve its purpose, what did a USB drive matter?
"Cooperation leads to a win-win situation, that's all."

One reason for inquiring about Kisaragi Mine's insistence on killing Tokiwa Mio and the others was to obtain the first cipher disk through Kisaragi Mine. As for Kazama Hidehiko's second cipher disk, that wasn't a big problem, as he had already figured out a way to get it.

On the day of the party, we focused solely on Tokiwa Kōgi, which couldn't be simpler.

As for Hara Yoshiaki, there are only two possibilities.

They were either killed by Kisaragi Mine, or their network intrusion was discovered, and they were then executed by Gin.

He probably won't live to see the time when he goes to the server room to transfer money.

As for why you should take action against Kisaragi Mine, it's best not to act rashly in places where Conan might appear, as it's not safe.

"I will deliver the items to you in the next few days, along with a user manual."

After saying that, Xia Chuan walked straight out of the room.

"and many more!"

Ruyue Fengshui, clutching his aching back, chased after them, asking, "Who exactly are you?"

Xia Chuan turned around, revealing a ferocious smile, his eyes gleaming with the ferocity of a beast ready to devour its prey.

"You can call me the Hell Puppet Master."

"Hell. Puppet Master?"

Ruyue Fengshui felt like he had heard the name somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.

"I've heard of him, but I've forgotten. This man is indeed someone important, I just forgot about him."

Ruyue Fengshui sighed, "I'm really getting old, useless now. I can't even remember where I heard such an important name before..."

After leaving the Mizuki family's residence, Natsukawa found a place to take off his vest.

It's really uncomfortable to go through all this in the middle of summer.

Even if it's breathable, it's still like wearing a thick sweater.

I don't know what's wrong with the distillery; they always wear black suits, no matter if it's winter or summer. Don't they feel hot?

Xia Chuan muttered to himself as he wrote the matter down.

I'll ask Professor Agasa to fix it again later.

Then, it's time for the "tool" character to make his appearance.

Xia Chuan called Frank and asked him to buy some assassination equipment from the underworld.

Kisaragi Mine's original serial killing plan was definitely inappropriate.

No key members of the production team can die before the day of the gala, to prevent Changpan Group from reclaiming the password access.

"Next up is Kazama Hidehiko."

Hara Yoshiaki said that Kazama Hidehiko will not be back until tomorrow, so there is no rush for now.

Of course, we can't just sit idle during our rest time, since we're already here.
Xia Chuan went to the homes of the four targets in turn to install eavesdropping devices. By the time he finished, it was already evening.

Frank also arrived in Nishitama City at this time.

"I said, don't leave everything to me. Buying things is fine, but why do you have to make me do the wiretapping? What are you even doing?"

Frank was on a date when his girlfriend started sulking when he was called over at the last minute. He was annoyed when he heard Xia Chuan dump all the work on him.

"I'm going to Kazama Hidehiko's house tomorrow to see if I can steal the cipher disc. How about I listen in and you go steal it?"

Xia Chuan's words left Frank speechless. After stammering for a while, he silently sat down in front of the computer.

"By the way, I've already bought the thing you wanted through an acquaintance, and some of it should arrive tomorrow."

Frank picked his nose: "But you'll need to install the transmitter, otherwise, an old man like Ruyue Fengshui in his seventies or eighties probably won't be able to tamper with the chandelier in the party hall."

"It's not a big problem. You just need to send him the sensor and the switch."

Xia Chuan borrowed a murder method from a certain plot.

The plan is to install a special bullet launcher on the chandelier in the party hall. This device, combined with a sensor and positioning device disguised as a badge, will be able to firmly lock the muzzle of the gun onto the target's chest.

As for how to get the group to wear badges, that's up to Ruyue Fengshui.

After all, he's a high-IQ criminal; it's impossible that he couldn't even do this.
