Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 636 Encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao
Xia Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Now that Mount Musou is surrounded by the police, there's no way that Itakura Suguru's hideout can escape Conan's eyes. As a result, that hideout will be completely exposed.

It doesn't matter whether Torata Eita and his gang are caught or not; the key is that he can use this as an excuse to impersonate a police officer and take action against Itakura Taku.

The reason given for finding Itakura Taku through residual network data from the villa should not be doubted.

Xia Chuan muttered to himself, starting to make plans in his mind.

After a long time, when he was almost home, he felt a sense of danger.

"That's possible, but it would likely attract Karasuma Renya's attention, which would only make him speed up his internal investigation and testing."

The current situation presents a dilemma.

On the one hand, he didn't want to do too much and let things settle down, so that Karasuma Renya would likely slow down his investigation into the Japanese branch; on the other hand, the software that Itakura Taku was researching really appealed to him, and the opportunity was extremely rare.

The reason given—finding Itakura Taku himself through his private hideout at the military headquarters of Itakura Takuya—is convincing.

In the future, he may find it difficult to have such an opportunity.

"We can't miss this opportunity. Aoyama hasn't filled this hole in over a thousand episodes, which is enough to prove the other party's importance. If we don't come knocking now, we might die mysteriously again in the future, and it will be too late to regret it then."

After determining the main objectives for the next step, Natsukawa did not forget Wakasa Rumi.

He is still in the hospital. Although he is not dead, he is almost in a vegetative state. The hospital cannot give a timeframe for when he will wake up.

Given the current situation, it's possible that Karasuma Renya has already begun trying to contact the other party.

It's not difficult to confirm this.

Xia Chuan looked up at the first floor of his house, where he could faintly hear Anya's cheerful laughter.

To determine whether Karasuma Renya has already planted people in Beika General Hospital, all you need to do is bring Anya, the radar, with you.

"I'm back!"

Xia Chuan hung his suit on the coat rack in the entryway and walked into the living room to a wagging welcome from Bond.

"You're back."

Since Xia Chuan wasn't there, Joel naturally stayed at Xia Chuan's house for the past two days. As for the Metropolitan Police Department, not going to work for a few days wouldn't really cause any problems.

Since Natsukawa ceded the lion's share of the profits from the Twilight Villa to Japan, even if Joel doesn't go to work now, no one in the Metropolitan Police Department will gossip about him.

If we're talking about wasting taxpayers' money, Xia Chuan's contributions are already comparable to the annual GDP of some impoverished counties.

Ai Haibara also cast a curious glance at her.

She seemed a little surprised not to see Conan, because Conan had promised her that he would come back and explain the situation to her as soon as possible.

"Yes, things are going relatively smoothly over there."

"Have you found the gang behind the gold heist? Is it that organization?" Ai Haibara asked.

Now that Xia Chuan already knows her identity, she has no need to be reserved. Moreover, Xia Chuan does indeed treat her as family, which is beyond doubt.

Xia Chuan nodded slightly, told the two some of the details, and then looked at them with an inquiring gaze.

Ai Haibara shook her head: "I didn't know that the brewery had any other forces in Japan. It has always been conducting research at Hakuba Pharmaceuticals. I don't know much about other aspects."

"However, I'm not too surprised that Gin can occasionally use criminal information about businessmen and politicians to threaten them, indicating that he has other forces at play." "You need to be careful. The fact that the boss uses him as a hidden asset means that he must trust him the most, and his strength should not be underestimated."

After showing concern, Ai Haibara suddenly blushed.

Without realizing it, she had also become part of this family and started to care about Xia Chuan's safety.

Anya gave Ai Haibara a teasing look, then pretended not to see it, knowing that Haibara was easily embarrassed.

Ai Haibara, however, assumed Anya was engrossed in watching TV and didn't notice their conversation.

“Uncle Xia Chuan, why don’t we slow down the investigation? Now that you’ve come into the distillery’s sights, the boss could make a move against you at any time. If we lie low for a while now, we might lower their guard.”

Compared to that massive organization, Natsukawa was far too insignificant, and Ai Haibara didn't think Natsukawa's abilities could shake it much.

Joel shared the same thought, and she glanced at Anya with concern, saying, "What Ai said makes sense."

Xia Chuan gave the two of them a serious look and shook his head, saying, "It's no use. Now that we've entered their field of vision, it's only a matter of time before we take action. I'd rather let other things affect Karasuma Renya. Only when there are more important things in front of him will we be safe."

"The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light; this is the only way."

Joel's eyes dimmed slightly, and he seemed to begin to wallow in self-pity again.

Xia Chuan pulled him into his arms and comforted him, "Actually, this has nothing to do with you. Judging from Torata Eita's infiltration, Karasuma Renya never completely gave up on Twilight Villa from the beginning. Even if he hadn't planned this incident, the matter of Twilight Villa would have been discovered."

"Entering their field of vision without knowing that they have already been discovered would be even more dangerous than it is now."

"Uncle Xia Chuan is right, Aunt Yue doesn't need to blame herself."

After listening to Natsukawa's story, Ai Haibara nodded silently in her heart.

This might not be very safe, but it can certainly divert the winery's attention. Using the diversionary tactic of attacking Wei to rescue Zhao is a unique form of security.

After resting at home for a while, Xia Chuan took Anya out.

The destination was naturally Mikasa General Hospital.

The "listen to your heart" function is so powerful. Hospitals are crowded during the day, so Anya can listen to her heart better when she goes to the hospital at night.

After arriving at the hospital, he casually registered and went through the motions. Then, pretending that he had just remembered that there was such a person, Xia Chuan went to Wakasa Rumi's ward.

The wards are under constant surveillance by the public security authorities. Not only are there individual wards with a resident surveillance officer inside, but several other people also take turns monitoring the wards and the corridor outside the wards from somewhere in the hospital.

Natsukawa's arrival was indeed somewhat unexpected, but because Yuri had given prior instructions, his arrival did not cause any disturbance, and he soon met Wakasa Rumi.

Rumi Wakasa lay in bed, her wounds mostly healed, but the biggest problem was the severe injury to her lower back. The subsequent battle worsened the injury, affecting her lumbar nerve system and causing her to remain unconscious for a long time.

In addition, Natsukawa and Yuri, the two sixth brothers, specifically suppressed the medication; otherwise, Wakasa Rumi might have already woken up.

Despite doing such a thing, Natsukawa believed that Wakasa Rumi could understand that it was all for the sake of capturing Karasuma Renya and avenging Haneda Koji.

Actually, there was another point that made Xia Chuan somewhat curious.

That's the Haneda family.

It seems that the Haneda family has no intention of showing up after all this time.

When Wakasa Rumi appeared at the Twilight Villa, it was probably Haneda Yasuharu's doing. But now, this attitude seems to be treating her as a pawn to be discarded.
