Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 565 When a Spy Develops Feelings

"This person is indeed a bit suspicious. Was he only recently discovered?" The boss was clearly intrigued. "Where was he before coming to Japan?"

"Where?" Gin was a little confused as to why his boss was suddenly asking this, but he still answered, "New York, USA. That's the information he has publicly. But you can't find anyone connected to him in New York. He has no social circle. This identity is very likely fake."

"New York?"

The boss seemed to have some unpleasant memories triggered by something; he seemed to be coughing up phlegm, making a gurgling sound as he breathed.

"Is there a problem?" A cold glint flashed in Gin's eyes. "Should we take this opportunity to kill him? He was already on my kill list."

And Joel, he added silently to himself.

"We can try killing him."

Gin was momentarily stunned.

What does "kill and see" mean? Does it mean the boss doesn't believe he can kill the other person, or that the boss doesn't want to attack him?

"We may have been targeted by someone, so we should proceed with caution."

"Then why did you come?" Gin asked, puzzled. "If you come too, and something goes wrong, I..."

"It's okay, I don't have another year or two to live anyway. If it's really as I guessed, maybe I'll see that guy again."

After saying that, the boss seemed to remember something else: "By the way, you've been making too many moves in Japan lately. After this, you should lie low for a while, otherwise some people will be under a lot of pressure. I don't want a repeat of what happened seventeen years ago, when a mere shogi player saw through my identity and caused such a big problem."

"I see."

Gin knew that the boss was referring to Rum's assassination of Amanda Hughes and Haneda Koji seventeen years ago, which led to the FBI, CIA, and MI6 simultaneously discovering their traces, and the subsequent cleanup operations that gradually exposed the entire organization to the Red Team's view.

The recent downfall of the US branch is inextricably linked to this matter.

Because the person who did it was Shuichi Akai, the son of Tsutomu Akai, who was investigating them back then!
The next morning.

The Twilight Villa is located in a remote area, but it must be said that the villa in the morning gives people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

The trees swaying in the wind, the fragrance of flowers carried on the breeze, the birds that occasionally take flight and then swoop down—oh, that's the eagle of Hakuba Saguru.

"Father, Father, may I release the pigeons?"

Seeing other people's eagles flying in the sky, Anya thought of the pigeons she had brought into the house and kept in the room ever since.

It must also yearn for the outside world, right?

Anyway, Pigeon is very well-behaved and won't disappear without a trace.

"Of course you can, but be careful when you stand on the balcony. Don't stick your head out, understand?"

Xia Chuan gave a reminder, then opened the door and went out.

Besides the maid Ishihara who gets up early to make breakfast, there are also Amuro Tooru and Conan in the lobby.

The two sat around in the living room, studying the riddle and the letter left by Karasuma Renya's mother.

Xia Chuan didn't see Vodka, but at this hour, the other party was most likely still asleep, since he had a habit of drinking late at night, and unless there was an emergency, he would normally be hungover in the morning.

Hakuba Saguru was in the computer room when he saw the eagle fly in that direction.

Ikumi Gunda, the only honest person on site, was told by Ishihara that she was sick and had started having a fever in the middle of the night, and was in very poor condition.

Oh, and Kaito too!
As he was thinking, Xia Chuan heard a series of hurried footsteps.

"Father, Pigeon just ran away and isn't coming back!"

Anya looked anxious as she pushed Xia Chuan toward the door, muttering, "Hurry, let's find it before it gets too far!"

"They really are here for a vacation" ×2
Amuro Tooru and Conan were speechless; only Anya, with her carefree attitude, could remain so relaxed.

crunch--

The door opened, and sunlight streamed in, making the hall even brighter.

"These are your pigeons."

Kaito, sporting Kogoro Mouri's face, had one hand in his pocket and the other half raised, with a red-eyed white dove perched quietly on his index finger.

Huffing and puffing—

Anya ran over, slightly out of breath, took the pigeon with both hands, quickly put it in her arms, gave Kogoro Mouri a wary look, and then ran back to her room.

They seemed afraid the pigeons would be stolen.

Conan was focused on the puzzle at hand and didn't notice Kogoro Mouri's strange behavior. Otherwise, he would have definitely discovered why Uncle Mouri, who clearly dislikes animals, could make pigeons land on his hand.

Logically speaking, he should have been like Inspector Nakamori, catching bird droppings on his face.

Kogoro Mouri looked at Natsukawa.

Xia Chuan shrugged slightly, indicating his helplessness.

"So, you've been up early this morning researching. Have you found anything?" Xia Chuan asked as he approached the sofa.

Conan kept his head down and didn't answer, completely absorbed, but not responding was itself a response.

"Go for it! I believe in you!"

Natsukawa patted Amuro Tooru on the shoulder.

As Amuro Tooru watched Natsukawa emerge from the door, he felt as if the other person had somehow noticed something.

This disguise was done by Vermouth herself, and she's even more skilled than him, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Xia Chuan went outside and went straight to the parking lot.

Inside the parking lot, five or six cars were burned to a crisp, and a pungent smell of burning could be smelled from them.

"Should we renovate this place, or just peel off the gold plaster?"

As Xia Chuan was pondering, his phone rang. Judging by the time, Frank should be calling to report back soon.

Xia Chuan found a corner in the building where no one could see him and answered the phone.

"Frank, how's the situation? Any activity at the distillery?"

"Hehe, not bad, Xia Chuan. As expected of you, you managed to attract all the top executives of the brewery with just a villa!"

Haha, Xia Chuan hasn't told the other party that this villa is entirely made of gold, otherwise Frank would definitely curse him to death.

To be precise, the current value of this annex is many times higher than the compensation the IRS could offer.

But now, things are different. Finding Karasuma Renya is not just a mission, but also an objective.

There are also scholars.

These people are related to Yoel, Anya, and Ai Haibara, all of whom are his family.

"Sure enough, once a spy develops feelings, he becomes less efficient in his work."

Xia Chuan silently berated himself for his actions before answering the caller: "Do you mean Rum and Karasuma Renya both showed up?"

Over there, Frank, whose hiding place was unknown, replied as if afraid of being raided, with the room full of surveillance screens and the curtains tightly drawn: "Gin should be near the Twilight Villa. Last night I detected three satellite signals other than yours."

In addition, around 7 a.m., a black Mercedes arrived at the place where Kogoro Mouri was kidnapped and had been parked there for two hours.

Finally, there was a black Nissan parked on another hilltop not far from the suspension bridge, from which a corner of the annex could be seen.

"Where is Kogoro Mouri?"

“I took him and the gas station employees away last night, but don’t worry, I gave them anesthesia and they’re on glucose now, so they’ll be unconscious for another day.”

After saying that, Frank turned around and glanced at Kogoro Mouri and the gas station employee who were tied together in the corner behind him. Each of them had tubing attached to their hands, and looking up, they were on IV drips.

"Mr. Mori may have some resistance to anesthetics. Remember to give him another injection around noon."

"oh oh."

"By the way, can you confirm that the people inside the Nissan and Mercedes are Karasuma Renya and Rum? Karasuma Renya is very cautious, so it's hard to say whether it's a trap."

Natsukawa was extremely cautious. In order to lure out Karasuma Renya, he did not hesitate to directly expose the ownership of the Twilight Villa, just so that Gin would come and kill him!
While it is certainly dangerous to get involved personally, given the circumstances, this is the only way to lure out Karasuma Renya.

"this one"

Frank seemed hesitant, rubbing his temples in thought, and finally said uncertainly, "It can't be completely confirmed, but no one got out of either car in the past two hours, and the windows were covered with curtains so you couldn't see inside, which in itself is quite telling."

Xia Chuan remained silent for a long time.

Frank has actually done a great job; now, apart from the brewery, it seems like no one else will be here.
Oh no!
Natsukawa suddenly looked towards the villa. Where was Amuro Tooru?

Did Amuro Tooru leak information to the Public Security Bureau? Could it be the Public Security Bureau?
"What about Yuri? Has he made any moves?"

"I've had people keeping an eye on their base location; there's no sign of them leaving yet."

"Is this so"

Xia Chuan rubbed his temples; even so, he still wasn't sure.

"There's no other way, I have to go out and check the situation."

"Are you leaving now?" Frank asked with some doubt. "Gin should be nearby. After confirming his location last night, I've been turning off the surveillance cameras around him to prevent him from being discovered. I can't be sure what he's doing now."

"If you leave, he will likely find out."

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Xia Chuan hurriedly hung up the phone and returned to the villa.

"Brother Xia Chuan, you were looking for me?"

Kaito was watching the three detectives' deductions in the lobby when he suddenly saw Natsukawa wink at him, and walked over in confusion.

Why did he have such a bad feeling about this?
"How about you impersonate me?"

"what?"

Kaito's eyes widened instantly; he hadn't expected that sentence at all and was momentarily speechless.

"Impersonating me for an hour shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Kaito's ability to change clothes is comparable to a Peking Opera face-changing act, so Natsukawa wanted to use Kaito to pretend that he was still in the villa.

He wasn't worried about Conan discovering anything, mainly because Amuro Tooru and Vodka couldn't possibly find any clues yet.

With Kaito's skill in disguise, he's perfectly safe.

"Xia Chuan-ge, are you serious?"

Kaito's lips twitched, and he trembled slightly inside. If this were the case, would he have to face off against Yoel head-on?

If anything is discovered, he might suffer a terrible fate.

"Don't worry, it will take at most two hours."

Natsukawa patted Kaito on the shoulder, then left through a window of a room on the side.

"Really are"

"Will Sister Joel and Anya cooperate with me?"

Kaito was filled with unease.

Joel is incredibly strong, and every time he disguises himself, he feels like Anya can see right through him when they make eye contact, which is quite uncomfortable.
