Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 417 The inherent weaknesses of human nature

Hara Yoshiaki leaned back against the computer desk, his heart pounding, but his words remained firm.

"Don't try that on me. Your time is running out. Either kill me and you won't get the 10 billion, and you'll still be punished by Gin when you go back. Or come with me. You have a long life ahead of you, why bother?"

"Have you ever considered that the USB drives I just gave you might actually be fake?"

Xia Chuan spread his arms, revealing three USB drives in his palms.

"Impossible! I clearly just..."

"The transfer has been successful, right? Because a springboard was left in the organization's system beforehand, it's impossible for it to be detected, right?"

Hara Yoshiaki's face was gloomy. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but Natsukawa didn't give him the chance.

With a loud "bang!", blood splattered on Yuan Jiaming's head. Before the light of a revolving lantern could even appear, his eyes had already lost focus, and he fell backward like a piece of wood.

After moving Hara Yoshiaki's body aside, Natsukawa sat down at the computer and began operating it.

Just now, he was actually learning how Hara Yoshiaki operated the equipment; now he just needs to replicate the process.

The process was completed quickly.

Just as Xia Chuan reached out and unplugged the USB drive, the cold muzzle of a gun was suddenly pressed against the back of his head.

"Sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing, I'll take this USB drive."

Oki Iwatsu chuckled and emerged from the darkness with Kazama Hidehiko.

"Kazama Hidehiko, you're not dead?"

Kazama Hidehiko was very pleased with the surprised look on his face. "You didn't expect that, did you? I was wearing a bulletproof vest, and a specially thick one at that."

Oki Iwatsu took the USB drive directly and put it in his pocket: "Alright, stop wasting time talking to him. The police will be here soon if there's an explosion. We need to evacuate immediately."

"Sorry, but my partner doesn't seem to like you."

Kazama Hidehiko let out a cold laugh, raised his gun, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The bullet whizzed past Xia Chuan's ear.

"Has anyone told you that pointing a gun at someone's head is not only disrespectful, but also a very dangerous thing to do?"

Xia Chuan moved forward, grabbed Kazama Hidehiko's waistband with his right hand and the wrist holding the gun with his left, raised it above his head, and then threw it towards the wall pillar.

Kazama Hidehiko's back made intimate contact with the wall pillar, and whether it was his imagination or not, Oki Iwamatsu even heard the sound of bones breaking.

"Useless designer!"

Oki Iwatsu stepped back to create some distance between himself and Natsukawa, and began firing a burst of bullets at Natsukawa with a small submachine gun in his hand.

As the local tyrant of Nishitama City, getting a submachine gun is a piece of cake for him!
Bullets rained down, and Xia Chuan dodged left and right to hide behind the computer desk.

Oki Iwamatsu had no intention of stopping. After emptying a magazine, he quickly reloaded and continued to provide suppressive fire.

Soon, the entire computer room was filled with the stench of burnt circuit boards.

He single-handedly destroyed half of the computers.

"Hiding is useless. Come out and die. I might as well give you a quick death."

The sound echoed throughout the server room, but there was no response.

Oki Iwatsu slowly stepped back, then put an earphone in his ear and began to whisper.

Xia Chuan frowned.

From the information he obtained, it seems that Oki Iwatsu had no shooting experience.

It's normal for politicians to be cold-blooded, but to be so calm, knowing full well that he's an assassin for some organization, and still so arrogant—this Oki Iwamatsu is definitely suspicious!

"I'd like to see who's behind you!" Oki Iwatsu could act so recklessly in Nishitama City, so there must be someone behind him. Coupled with the skills he had displayed, he began to wonder who was behind him.

Xia Chuan rubbed the USB drive in his hand and smiled jokingly.

Now that he knew about the mantises, he naturally wouldn't have been unprepared.

The USB drive that Oki Iwamatsu took contained only Frank's action romance film.

Moreover, once this USB drive is inserted into a device, the device will send out location information.

The environment in the computer room was too complicated. Although Oki Iwamatsu really wanted to kill Natsukawa to silence him, the situation did not allow it.

Oki Iwatsu strode out of the machine room and headed up the escape staircase to the top floor, where the scheduled helicopter was about to arrive.

Meanwhile, Conan, following the trail of a walking stick found on the stairs, located Kisaragi Mine on the 78th floor.

Kisaragi Mine stood calmly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with Mount Fuji right in front of him.

Even in the darkness of night, Mount Fuji still radiates a luminous, sacred glow when viewed from afar.

"Mr. Ruyue Fengshui, you can't escape."

Conan stood behind him, hands in his pockets, his glasses reflecting the light: "No matter the reason, murder is wrong."

“Yes, I think so too.” Kisaragi Mineki rested her hands on her cane, looking at Mount Fuji with utmost tenderness.

"But for Him, I feel it's worth it."

Kisaragi Mine let out a long sigh of relief: "Besides, even if I don't take action, they will die at the hands of others. Rather than that, it's better to offer them to Mount Fuji."

“Apart from Tokiwa Okiyoshi and Tokiwa Mio, the other three are still alive. It seems your plan has failed.”

Conan pushed up his glasses; he sensed a death wish in Kisaragi Mine's tone.

Absolutely not!

Regardless of whether someone is the murderer or not, no one has the right to commit suicide. Life belongs to society and the law, and no individual has the right to decide the fate of their own life!
"not dead?"

Ruyue Fengshui frowned, but after a couple of seconds he relaxed. "It doesn't matter. Even if they didn't die by my hand, that man in black definitely won't let them go."

The term "Men in Black" is a sensitive one in Conan's world.

"Who are these men in black you're talking about?"

"I don't know either. That day, a man in black suddenly broke into my house. He seemed to know a lot about the feud between me and Mio. After talking, he told me the method of this murder."

I thought I wouldn't be discovered until after I died, but I never expected this! Conan, you're really smart.

Ruyue Fengshui looked up, recalled for a moment, and continued, "The black suit, the sinister expression, the eyes like a venomous snake—every time I think about it, I feel a lingering fear. It's strange, really, I don't even want to live anymore, so why am I still afraid?"

"Perhaps it's just human nature's flaws?"

Mio was the same way; she genuinely loved neon art, but when faced with profit, that passion was worthless in her eyes.

Conan didn't listen to Kisaragi Mine's self-deprecating remarks at all; he excitedly took a few steps forward.

"Are those men in black using the names of alcoholic beverages as code names?"

"I don't know, and I didn't ask. As long as I can get revenge, why worry about so much? At least two members of the Tokiwa family died at my hands, so the memorial service can be considered half successful. I can die in peace now!"

Ruyue Fengshui suddenly raised his hand and forcefully slammed his cane into the floor-to-ceiling glass.

The end of the cane was modified into the shape of a window breaker, which can easily break many kinds of glass, and this floor-to-ceiling window is no exception.

"Crash-"

With her cane, Ruyue Fengshui shattered the glass and strode over. Her actions, though seemingly resolute, showed no hesitation, perhaps a hint of regret or fear, but her resolve remained unchanged.
When Conan discovered the traces of the cane, he roughly knew Kisaragi Mine's purpose.

An anesthetic needle was accurately injected into the back of Ruyue Fengshui's neck.
