Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 601 This is how spies are
Leaving aside the Mori Detective Agency, the two on the third-floor rooftop were still communicating.

Although Xia Chuan had explained it in the simplest and most concise way, there were still many things that Joel didn't understand.

For example, adopting Ai Haibara.

"You know about Haibara's situation too?"

After asking the question, Joel felt a little silly.

As Xia Chuan just said, Tequila is his pseudonym. The two had contact back when Ai Haibara was still Sherry. It is said that Tequila also played a role in Haibara's escape from the distillery.

Unexpectedly, Xia Chuan started making plans so early.

Thus, it seems that Ai Haibara's arrival at his house was also part of the plan.

“I had investigated the possibility of the drug APTX4869 earlier, and the existence of Karasuma Renya is the best proof. So when Ai Haibara was imprisoned by Gin, I had the idea of ​​getting her out.”

Xia Chuan paused, then smiled and said, "Of course, I didn't adopt Haibara for the sake of so-called immortality. My main purpose in doing so is to obtain information about Karasuma Renya through Haibara."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have handed Haibara's sister over to Yuri."

"Ah."

Joel nodded slightly.

This is not difficult to understand.

Karasuma Renya's desire for immortality is something Haibara is indeed a rare talent. Given Haibara's identity and current situation, she can definitely lure Karasuma Renya out.

“I admit that I initially planned to use Haibara as a stepping stone. But as we spent more time together, that idea faded. Otherwise, I could have used Haibara’s connection with APTX4869 to lure out Karasuma Renya just the same way.”

"So how can spies and assassins have feelings?" Joel said, seemingly jokingly. In this respect, Xia Chuan was somewhat similar to her.

But in reality, assassins and spies shouldn't have feelings for each other; both of them are somewhat unsuitable for such a relationship.

"Who could have imagined this?" Xia Chuan shrugged slightly.

"So it turns out that Haibara's sister has always been in Yuri's hands."

Joel sighed, "Why not return her to Haibara? She's her last remaining family. Keeping her hanging like this isn't a solution."

Yes, it's always best to have family around.

However, the Miyano family's situation is quite special. Miyano Akemi is not only reckless but also has a romantic mindset. Haibara had already been messed with by her several times when she was at the brewery, which eventually made Gin unable to tolerate it anymore.

If they were to reunite, Natsukawa was very worried that Miyano Akemi would once again reconnect with Akai Shuichi.

Given her feelings for Shuichi Akai, she might very well hand her sister over to the FBI, believing that doing so would be the only way to protect her.

But that's not the case. If Ai Haibara could develop an immortality drug, even if it were a defective product with a 99% side effect rate, she would probably be completely controlled by the United States in her next life and would never see the light of day again.

Joel didn't know much about Akemi Miyano, but after Natsukawa gave him a brief introduction, he immediately changed his mind.

It would be best for Miyano Akemi to stay with the Public Security Bureau until the brewery is destroyed, which might allow her to reunite with Haibara.

"So what should we do next? As you said, Gin is keeping a low profile and is likely hiding somewhere, spying on us. The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, so Anya and Ai Haibara's safety is hard to guarantee."

"Do not worry."

Xia Chuan also had some concerns, but it was actually alright.

He had already gleaned some clues from Karasuma Renya's attitude and Gin's behavior.

Karasuma Renya's days are numbered. Therefore, by offering the brewery a certain incentive, they can temporarily shift their attention elsewhere.

For example, there's the connection Wakasa Rumi had with scholars.

This is also the main reason why Natsukawa has been conveying the message that Wakasa is going to stay in the United States to the brewery base.

"I also revealed some information about the European and Japanese branch bases to the FBI and Yuri. Given their interest in the scholars, they'll probably be overwhelmed with questions soon."

As she spoke, Natsukawa thought of something else: "And then there's the zoo. This confrontation between the two sides has reached a point where it's difficult to resolve, affecting such an important plan as Karasuma Renya's. The brewery will continue to be locked in a tense standoff with the zoo."

"Compared to their level of importance, the police, the FBI, academics, and zoos will have a greater impact on them. We don't need to worry about anything during this time, and they will naturally lower our level of importance."

"I never imagined you had planned so much."

Joel blinked his bright, lively eyes, and a relieved smile appeared on his clear and handsome face.

For Joel, he had always acted alone, and before his identity was exposed, he could be said to have no scruples.

But this time it made her very upset.

However, Xia Chuan's series of solutions brought her an indescribable sense of relief.

It's like someone brings you food when you're hungry, you have a shoulder to lean on when you're suffering, and someone helps bandage your wounds when you're in pain.

The essence of game theory is to create conditions for the other party, allowing them to make choices within those conditions.

In this way, no matter what choice the other party makes, Xia Chuan can take control of the situation immediately.

This is Xia Chuan's style.

"However, Gin's situation is probably not optimistic. I can see some clues in the past few days. Orders from within the organization have started to be transmitted via fax. Either Gin suspects there is a mole within the organization, or Gin has suffered a serious injury and is currently receiving treatment in some corner."

Xia Chuan felt that the latter was the most likely possibility. Gin's final fight with him revealed the problem from the changes in the opponent's body.

It's possible that Gin not only took the scholar's longevity drug, but also underwent human experiments by him.

Putting that aside for now, the most important issue facing Karasuma Renya is Wakasa Rumi.

Before Yuri left, Natsukawa specifically talked to him about Wakasa Rumi's situation.

Although it wasn't explained very clearly, Yuri had already sensed something. Once Joel told Yuri about the scholars, the plan should be able to begin.

That's right. Since Kiel hasn't been captured yet, why not have someone else start the showdown between red and black?
Compared to Kir, Wakasa Rumi is more important to the brewery. With this move, the kidnapping of Wakasa Rumi is bound to happen.

Natsukawa even secretly instructed Yuri to reduce the saturation of Wakasa Rumi's drug treatment, thus prolonging her coma.

Once things improve on Gin's side, Karasuma Renya will definitely take the message he sent back seriously.

Perhaps, if we rush things, even Rum might appear.

This behavior is somewhat unethical.

But how should I put it, he was a spy, and spies are inherently cold-blooded.

Anya, Ai Haibara, and Yoru are considered to be rather unique individuals.

That's how spies usually operate.

They are cruel, cold-blooded, and will stop at nothing to achieve their mission objectives. They may not harm innocent people, but they might change their minds if their own interests are affected.
