Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 638 Testing and Caught in the Net

"Restless?"

Baileys dessert, "Hmm, it gives me a feeling of Sherry 2.0."

After saying this, Baileys couldn't help but smile: "But how could he possibly compare to Shirley? Besides, he hasn't even developed the software the organization needs yet, so he has no right to negotiate with the organization."

"Do you know what that software is?" Xia Chuan asked, feigning curiosity.

"Hmm, aren't you the first person you've met? How could you not know?"

Baileys looked at him with suspicion, then shook her head. "I don't know either. It might be some important software. I wouldn't ask about things that Lady Vermouth doesn't usually talk about."

A strange light flickered in Baileys' eyes.

With Vermouth and Gin away recently, why is Tequila suddenly asking about these things?
Could it be that they are plotting to seize power and steal a portion of the core authority and secrets while Gin is away?
If that's the case, that would be fun.

Baileys looked at the tequila with amusement, but she was still happy inside.

It would be best if they fought, so that Xia Chuan wouldn't attract the attention of the brewery.

To be honest, she was a little disappointed because she was injured and couldn't attend the Twilight Villa incident.

I heard that Natsukawa fought Gin to a standstill, and in the end, he was even able to kill one of the nine codenamed members and escape unscathed.

He is indeed the man she likes.

However, this man seems to be getting further and further away from her.

Both Joel's existence and his current relationship with the organization are intriguing.

"It seems we'll have to wait for Gin to come back if we want to find Itakura Taku."

Xia Chuan shook his head, feigning disinterest, and didn't waste any more time with Baileys, brushing it off with a laugh.

Do you need to see a doctor for eye problems and heart conditions?

The software development base is in Tokyo, so the other party is unlikely to go to other hospitals far away and miss out on the medical technology of this international metropolis.

Therefore, finding Itakura Taku should not be difficult.

After informing Frank of this information and having him investigate, Xia Chuan returned home.

The next day.

Xia Chuan only slept for a little over four hours before being woken up by a phone call.

At this point, the only person who could be calling him is probably Conan.

"Xia Chuan-ge, we caught him!"

Conan surprised Natsukawa with his first words.

He originally thought Conan would waste a lot of time in Gunma, but unexpectedly, only one day later, Torada Eita was killed.

"He's already been taken back by the police, so I can't ask him many questions. Do you have any way to get me into the police base?"

So that's what they were thinking.

After calming Conan down, Natsukawa turned and called Yuri.

I received confirmation over the phone that Torada Eita had been arrested and was at the Public Security Bureau's secret base in Beika Town.

In principle, people associated with the distillery are not allowed to be visited by others after entering the police station, let alone be questioned about certain matters.

But since Xia Chuan had a position with the National Tax Service, and this case could solve Xia Chuan's great contribution, Yuri agreed.

Conan, however, did not receive a reply from Yuri.

No matter how smart Conan is, he's still a child, and it's very dangerous for him to know too much.

In the short time they spent together, Conan discovered many details and even played a significant role in finding Torada Eita, but he also caused a lot of trouble and almost lost his life.

Yuri naturally wouldn't let the child know any more news.

He specifically instructed Xia Chuan that if he asked anything, he absolutely must not tell that little brat. He was genuinely afraid.

The police's secret base was actually on the basement floor of a small shopping mall. Next to a coffee shop, there was a downward-facing emergency staircase that led down to the basement level, where a password-protected door blocked the way.

Just moments after arriving at the door, the keypad door clicked open.

Clearly, there must have been a hidden camera monitoring the doorway, which turned on immediately after confirming Xia Chuan's identity.

Upon entering and seeing Yuri, Xia Chuan was visibly taken aback.

Yuri had bandages wrapped around his forehead and probably his chest as well, but because he was wearing clothes, it was impossible to tell where the injury was on his upper body.

"Are you injured?" Xia Chuan asked with slight concern. Although he knew Yuri's physique very well, he was, after all, Yuri's brother-in-law. It would be a waste of his brother-in-law not to ask anything.

"Hmm, abrasion on the side of the ribs, nothing serious."

Yuri patted his chest nonchalantly. Although his facial expression twitched involuntarily under the pat, he didn't show much and deliberately tried to present a tough guy image in front of Xia Chuan.

My main concern is that if Xia Chuan goes back and tells her sister the news, her sister will definitely worry.

"Are there many of them? Your Public Security Bureau, along with the police from Nagano and Gunma prefectures, shouldn't have this many."

"Heh, it's because of the county police getting in the way, and Conan, who's also a troublesome guy."

There must be some story behind this, but Yuri didn't explain.

Xia Chuan wasn't interested in gossiping about these things, which explains why Yuri didn't want Conan to come; he was probably afraid that Conan would do something reckless if he found out some information.

Conan knows he'll definitely do something stupid, Natsukawa can guarantee that!

"Including Torata Eita, a total of three people were captured in this operation, and three others were killed at Mount Musho."

"However, although we caught them, we couldn't get anything out of them after two hours of interrogation."

Yuri became somewhat irritated at the mention of this. Such determined and difficult prisoners were rare, and yet three of them appeared at once.

Torada Eita was easy to talk to, after all, he was the leader, but the other two remained tight-lipped, which greatly surprised Yuri.

Have you found their identity information yet?

Yuri continued to shake his head: "There's nothing that can prove my identity."

With current technology, especially in Japan, it's not possible to verify identity using facial recognition.

Xia Chuan hummed in agreement and, led by Yuri, arrived at the interrogation room's cubicle. From the mirror inside, the interrogated person's condition could be clearly observed.

The three were placed in separate interrogation rooms. Yuri originally intended to use this method to make the three distrust each other and to lure one of them into speaking out by offering a reduced sentence for confessing. Unfortunately, this did not work. All three remained silent and claimed that Torada Eita was the real culprit.

That's right, even Eita Torada said the same thing about himself.

But Yuri would never believe it.

"Game theory techniques are indeed not very effective for people with firm beliefs like them."

"Firm faith?"

"do not you know?"

"I investigated Torada Eita's computer."

Xia Chuan carefully selected and roughly explained the relationship between Torata Eita and the brewery.

"You mean, they're actually codenamed members of the distillery?"

"They may not necessarily be codename members, but they are definitely people trusted by the person behind the scenes, Karasuma Renya."

Yuri suddenly fell silent.

how could be.
