Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 597 Family members must trust each other.
In the end, Yuri simply turned off his phone, so even if Kuroda had orders, it would be the same if he communicated through other members.

“Mr. Yuri, it doesn’t seem like a good thing that Mr. Furuya leaked this information to us.” Kazami Yuya said with a wry smile.

He wasn't blaming Amuro Tooru, after all, it was an important opportunity to seize the codenamed members of the brewery, and he almost got close to the brewery's behind-the-scenes boss.

But this incident had a huge impact on their group; at least for the time being, they were unable to concentrate on dealing with the winery's affairs.

Even the bodies in Nagano Prefecture, and the scene here, involve multiple parties, making it very difficult for the group to exercise its power.

"It's alright. These officials still have a sense of shame. Since it's already out in the open and everyone knows about it, it's hard for them to pocket the money."

Yuri wasn't too interested in that, but he was worried about Xia Chuan's safety.

He was, after all, the nominal owner of the Twilight Villa, and it was uncertain whether anyone would make a move against him.

From the few words he heard, he could roughly guess Xia Chuan's purpose in doing so—it was for his sister.

While she was still concealing the news about the winery, Xia Chuan helped her sister without hesitation.

Judging from Xia Chuan's behavior tonight, he doesn't seem to have any curiosity about his own identity.

So, he must have known his own identity, right?
However, Xia Chuan did not tell his sister the news. Instead, he took the initiative to show up and even had a frank conversation with his sister.

Actually, Xia Chuan is a pretty good person sometimes.

And just now
Unbeknownst to him, Yuri had come to accept his brother-in-law's existence.

"As for the winery, I don't think these people are paying attention. Haven't you noticed? You've received so many calls, but not a single person has asked me why. They're all after the gold."

This situation is very common in any country.

"By the way, what's the situation with Gin?"

This is what Yuri truly cares about.

Kazami Yuya shook his head: "Mr. Furuya still hasn't replied, but we just spotted a helicopter behind the Twilight Villa. By the time we arrived, the helicopter had already left, so that must have been the brewery's evacuation tactic."

"Then let's continue to wait for news about Furuya."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, we can notify Mr. Kuroda and have him call a group of cleaners over."

Kazami Yuya's expression was strange. "It seems we don't need to, because many cleaners are already on their way."

"These high-ranking officials remain silent when faced with difficulties, but they flock to us like bees and butterflies when there is profit to be made."

Yuri shook his head and sighed, a mocking smile on his face.

Kazami Yuya pretended not to hear. He was just a small liaison, a minor police inspector, unlike Yuri, and had no right to make judgments about the higher-ups.

At this time, Xia Chuan and Yole had already left under the protection of the police.

Because it was Yuri's instruction, there was no need to stay and take a statement.

In the car, Joel suddenly asked, "Xia Chuan, do you think I should be managing Yuri like this?"

Joel thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't get over his own conscience.

Since you can't figure it out yourself, then listen to Xia Chuan's opinion.

Xia Chuan has always displayed a very composed personality and is very sensitive to emotions, so he must have some understanding of this.

Xia Chuan smiled slightly, "You're the older sister, so it's understandable that you want to protect him and don't want him to be involved in dangerous things. But it's also understandable that Yuri wants to protect you in return."

Joel tilted his head, feeling like he'd just heard a load of nonsense.

“Neither of you is wrong. That’s how it is between family members. But while you may be worried, you also need to trust each other. Yuri is only weaker in front of you. He might be different outside.”

Xia Chuan glanced at the driver in front of him, seemingly casually. The driver shivered and quickly looked away.

Speaking of Yuri, he's truly a formidable figure within the Public Security Bureau. Surprisingly, in his own sister's eyes, he's still just a child who never grew up.

We'll have something to talk about when we get back.
The car quickly drove out of the mountains and into Nagano Prefecture.

After the battle between the brewery and the zoo, the entire defense forces of Nagano Prefecture were mobilized.

Patrol cars can be seen from time to time on the road, and residents occasionally stick their heads out to check the situation.

This isn't even the area where the fighting broke out, which shows how serious this is. The entire Nagano Prefecture has been affected, and we expect big news to break tomorrow.

Unlike before, when firefights mostly occurred in remote areas.

This time, with so many people hearing and seeing it, there's absolutely no possibility of it being hidden.

Soon, the two were taken to the hotel, where Conan and Hakuba Saguru were already waiting, along with Kogoro Mouri.

According to Conan, he found it in the bathroom when he went to the toilet.

Although he didn't know why, Conan was certain that this guy wasn't Kaito Kid.

Xia Chuan could only marvel at Frank's impressive business acumen.

"How is Uncle Xia Chuan?"

Conan was extremely anxious; he didn't want to miss any clues about the distillery.

In particular, after leaving the villa and finding a gas station to report the incident, they were immediately taken into custody by the police and then sent here.

Even those involved are being detained; this time, the state authorities are making a huge show of force.

Fortunately, Hakuba Saguru's identity was there; otherwise, they probably wouldn't be able to move freely right now.

"Father, Aunt Joel"

Anya's voice also rang out. A small pigeon was perched on her shoulder, and she immediately opened her short arms when she saw Xia Chuan and the other two.

Xia Chuan hugged Anya and shook his head.

"Yeah."

Conan and Hakuba Saguru were both disappointed.

"Isn't this normal? They have a lot of people, while we only have three. But not all of them ran away; at least one of us stayed behind."

The detectives' eyes widened immediately, as if they were about to say how could someone commit murder, but then they suddenly fell silent.

Putting aside Xia Chuan's identity, facing an organization like the winery with so many people, he couldn't afford to leave any future troubles. He simply couldn't bring himself to ask why he wanted to kill someone.

At the same time, Xia Chuan also saw Frank standing in the corner.

Frank's expression wasn't good, and it was easy to guess why.

Xia Chuan handed Anya to Yoel, then walked toward Frank.

"Your farce this time has gone a bit too far. Such a large villa has been reduced to ruins, and it has even attracted the attention of the Japanese authorities. You know, once they discover it, we'll probably lose all of this gold."

Individual power can never overcome official power. Even if this money is not embezzled by certain tycoons or politicians, its confiscation by the state is inevitable.

"I was originally considering how to deal with the gold and how to liquidate it if we took possession of the Golden Villa."

Xia Chuan smiled lightly, seemingly unconcerned, "Now that the state is directly confiscating our goods, we can also receive a certain amount of compensation."
