Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 631 Everything is still in that person's plan
Unless Torada Eita can install more traps on the road, he will never be able to shake off Natsukawa.

Of course, Torada Eita did not have such foresight and preparation.

The reason she was able to escape was because the police from the Dragon Tail family didn't take her seriously and let their guard down.

Upon noticing the police answer the phone, she knew she was likely exposed and immediately took action to nip the crisis in the bud.

Unfortunately, she was too slow and ran into Xia Chuan and his group, and also into Xia Chuan, a genius who could drive a car like a motorcycle in the mountains.

"What a bunch of useless people they assigned to me! Not only did they fail to find what Dragon Tail Constance left behind, they also exposed me."

Torata Eita's wrinkles looked somewhat ferocious as he slammed his hand on the steering wheel, causing the Teana to honk inexplicably but not making it go any faster.

"What is she doing?"

"We'll find out soon enough by asking."

Yuri was very confident that, given the terrain of the mountains and forests, the Teana could not possibly outrun the GTR.

As soon as he finished speaking, the car suddenly accelerated again, and a sonic boom could almost be heard, as if the engine was crying.

"boom!"

The already dilapidated rear end of the Teana lifted up slightly, losing rear-wheel drive, reducing its speed, and being pushed forward by the GTR.

If I remember correctly, there's a fork in the road ahead!

Torata Eita knew, of course, that there was a fork in the road ahead, and he could even see the dilapidated road sign.

I twisted the steering wheel hard, and luckily, I managed to turn around just before crashing into the tree.

But that wasn't enough. At that speed, it was already quite an achievement to be able to make even a slight turn. Plus, with the rear end being pushed up, the grip was insufficient, causing it to crash into the trees and overturn.

Xia Chuan had already planned ahead. With sufficient acceleration, he stepped on the brakes, not only avoiding a collision with the tree but also bumping into the bouncing Tianlai.

A series of loud noises caused the Teana to be completely destroyed. The engine, unable to bear the strain, emitted black smoke, and the four wheels were spinning incessantly towards the sky, as if making a final struggle.

A short while later, Torada Eita managed to kick open the car door with difficulty.

I'm only alive now thanks to the seatbelt; it's really a lifesaver.

That's true, but she still had multiple abrasions on her body, and blood kept flowing from her forehead.

However, it is quite remarkable that someone in their fifties could endure such pain and remain conscious.

"Click——"

The cold muzzle of the gun was pointed at her forehead.

It's normal that they realized what had happened since they had time to escape.

Torada Eita's face was pale, but his gaze toward Yuri was completely unwavering, as if he were looking at a dead man.

Yuri had seen this kind of look quite often, and didn't take it to heart. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Torada, can you tell me why you suddenly sped up, especially in this narrow mountain forest? Such behavior can easily bring tears to your loved ones' eyes."

"And can you explain who that person who suddenly jumped out just now is to you?"

There was no reply, only a cold stare, a stark contrast to when he was being investigated before.

"It seems like she's the only one inside." Conan checked the car briefly and found that there was no one else inside except for Torada Eita.

"As expected of the police, they're incredibly fast; they tracked me down so quickly."

After a long while, Torata Eita finally uttered these words.

"The main problem is that you yourself didn't pay attention. You didn't expect that Torada Yoshiro and Ryūo Kōji would leave clues."

"Heh, do you really think we can get that batch of gold back like this?"

Torada Eita suddenly sneered, his icy gaze fixed on the dead. He raised his arm, revealing a small remote control in his palm. "What!" ×2
Conan and Yuri froze for a moment. Needless to say, they could easily make connections to the remote control.

Torada Eita's next words indeed proved that their concerns were correct.

"There's a plastic explosive in the car. If I press the switch, the explosion will have a direct blast radius of about seven meters and a splash radius of about twenty meters. Do you want to die with me?"

Torada Eita stood up with a cold laugh.

Blood stained her eyes, making her face even more grotesque and terrifying.

"Mr. Xia Chuan behind me, don't try to stop me. The bomb is not only linked to the remote control, but I also have a heartbeat sensor attached to my body. As long as my heartbeat stops, the bomb will still explode."

Xia Chuan silently withdrew. This Torada Eita was indeed quite capable, and she was also quite ruthless.

Now it's very difficult to handle.

"What do you want?" Xia Chuan asked directly.

Clearly, Torada Eita didn't want to die either; taking someone down with him was just a last resort. Since he brought it up, he must have had some ulterior motive.

“Keep seven meters away from me, then give me your car!”

Yuri remained silent, his eyes filled with anger, but at this moment, he was powerless. No one could withstand the power of a plastic bomb, especially one that was so close at hand.

He also had Conan by his side, and without knowing the true nature of Torada Eita, he had absolutely no confidence in being able to defeat him.

Conan, too, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then shut up.

Even though they were so close, right across from Torada Eita, the other party could have seen everything he did. It would have been impossible for them to use a tranquilizer dart, because a tranquilizer dart doesn't cause immediate unconsciousness; there's usually a three- to five-second delay before it takes effect.

These three to five seconds were enough for Torada Eita to notice the anomaly and press the remote detonation button.

"can."

Xia Chuan nodded in agreement and stood with Conan and Yuri, keeping a certain distance from Torada Eita.

Torada Eita still dared not relax. She actually knew Yuri and Natsukawa to some extent. In terms of combat ability, she might have been able to compete with them twenty years ago when she was at her peak, but as she got older, all aspects of her physical functions were declining.

If she were to fight several young, highly skilled fighters now, it's almost certain she'd be pinned to the ground immediately.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after she got into the driver's seat of the GTR and sped away.

She glanced silently at the woman in the passenger seat carrying her bag.

Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, otherwise we would have really been in trouble this time.

This Xia Chuan is indeed extraordinary.

However, it seems to be going very smoothly, and everything is still in accordance with that person's plan.

Gold was only one reason for this operation; another was to test...
Watching GTR leave, Conan and Yuri looked somewhat dejected.

If they hadn't moved closer immediately, given the distance between Natsukawa and Torada Eita, they could have safely taken cover on the other side of the GTR, using the vehicle to shield themselves from the plastic bomb's blast.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Xia Chuan reached out and patted Yuri on the shoulder, comforting him, "To prevent any accidents and the loss of your car, I installed a GPS tracker in it."

After handing a tracker to Yuri, he added, "The man who committed suicide earlier and the one we just shot are also potential breakthroughs."

The investigation progressed very suddenly, and Xia Chuan did not believe that the two people who died earlier had destroyed their identity information in advance.
