Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 639 Cross-examination
They did suspect that the case was related to the brewery, but after contacting Furuya, the other party confirmed that the brewery had not made any moves recently, and should not have made any moves before Gin appeared.

But how could Rei Furuya not know about such a big case?

Was his undercover identity discovered, or was he intentionally withholding this information, and what was the reason?
"The police should also have undercover agents in the distillery, right?"

One sentence soaked Yuri's back, and he asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, but it was too late to take it back.

This statement was enough for Xia Chuan to confirm that they had someone at the winery.

Little did Yuri know that Natsukawa had known about the undercover agent all along, and even knew that the undercover agent was Amuro Tooru.

"Because of what happened at Twilight Villa last time, you arrived too quickly."

Xia Chuan didn't explain much, glossing over the matter, and continued, "Let me see just how stubborn this Torata Eita really is."

At this moment, Torada Eita had been beaten so badly by Yuri that his face was crooked and twisted, the interrogation chair was stained with a lot of blood, and he had only received simple bandages, making him look extremely disheveled.

Yuri shrugged. "Nothing serious. Should I have the surveillance turned off?"

"Isn't this just like trying to hide something obvious? Besides, I had no intention of making a move."

"Are you sure?" Yuri's eyes twitched. "I've beaten her up like this, and she's still talking nonsense. Are you sure you can get her to talk without torture?"

"Could it be a truth serum?"

After suddenly realizing this possibility, he shook his head again: "That's not right either. I clearly didn't see you carrying any medicine or anything like that."

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Yuri's hands actually started groping Natsukawa's body.

Clearly, he was genuinely curious.

But to others, this seems very strange.

The usually serious and dignified team leader would actually make such a childish move.

"Okay, stop fooling around."

"Since you've said that, then turn the sound off."

Xia Chuan pushed open the interrogation room door, swatting away Yuri's hands that were already touching his groin.

"Ahem, I'm curious, why is the IRS involved? Is it because they can collect taxes for helping solve cases?"

Seeing that it was Natsukawa who walked in, Torada Eita still smiled despite being covered in wounds.

"It seems the police service is still not thorough enough; how can you still laugh?"

After staring blankly at Torata Eita for a while, whether due to physical pain or some other reason, the smile on Torata Eita's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a trace of panic.

Xia Chuan's eyes were like black holes; a few seconds of eye contact made her heart race.

This isn't a feeling that only arises when seeing young, attractive men; it's a feeling of tension and unease.

She had only seen this feeling in Karasuma Renya many years ago.

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be someone behind this gold heist, right?"

"No, I orchestrated this case from beginning to end. You can ask anyone else if you don't believe me." Torada Eita lowered his head, avoiding looking at Natsukawa. He sensed that the strange fear likely came from Natsukawa's aura.

Despite this, she gritted her teeth and kept the person behind the scenes hidden.

"If you orchestrated this whole thing, where is that batch of gold? Including the two who died, your team has less than ten people. This doesn't seem like a group that would dare to take action against hundreds of billions of dollars worth of gold."

"Don't talk about me, even the police don't believe it, right? You're just a housewife, you can't possibly have the time, energy, and money to train such a team."

"That's because you underestimate me. Otherwise, those armored security guards wouldn't have been so weak. It wouldn't have taken ten minutes to deal with them."

It's not about the security personnel involved in the armored transport; it seems that Torata Eita wants to take the blame for everything alone.

He is another person who, like Gin, is fiercely loyal to Karasuma Renya.

“I checked your computer,” Xia Chuan dropped a bombshell.

Upon hearing this, Torada Eita was visibly taken aback, his heart suddenly raced, and his expression changed.

But in the blink of an eye, her expression returned to normal, a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Really? That's impressive. You must have found out quite a bit, right?"

Clearly, she didn't believe Xia Chuan could find anything on her computer.

The firewall installed on her computer by the organization is absolutely impossible to breach. Even if it were breached, the computer's self-destruct program and the viruses carried in the files would prevent it. Xia Chuan wouldn't even be able to see the content; any computer she opened would be rendered unusable immediately.

"It seems you don't quite believe it?"

Xia Chuan smiled and uttered a few words.

"Itakura Taku!"

Torada Eita stared wide-eyed, his hands gripping the table, his face filled with disbelief.

How can this be?

At that moment, her mind was blank, with only these few words echoing in her ears.

Although she wasn't involved in the winery's affairs, she still knew who had installed things on her computer.

If I remember correctly, his name was Itakura Taku.

Because network technology is evolving so rapidly, firewalls and viruses need to be updated regularly to keep computers secure.

That's how she met him, but he didn't know anything about her; he was just doing his job according to the organization's requirements.

"wrong!"

Torada Eita was suddenly taken aback; Natsukawa had no reason to know.

Even if he could crack the software, Itakura Taku has always been within the organization, and his research on the software has always been conducted in secret. Even if Xia Chuan investigated the software, he shouldn't know the name Itakura Taku through a software.

unless!

Natsukawa already knew about this software and the name Itakura Taku!

"Did you find it?"

Xia Chuan still smiled and said, "You don't need to hide it. I can find that crow just by looking at your chat history, it's just more time-consuming."

Is this person an undercover agent within the organization?
However, the organization had many codenamed members. In the twenty-eight years that he had infiltrated the Torada family, the codenamed members had changed batch after batch, and died one after another.

This face is unlike any I've ever seen.

There was indeed a mole within the organization; the boss's plan was correct.

Despite his unease, Torada Eita remained clear-headed.

She forced herself to calm down. If Xia Chuan knew the boss, why would he come looking for her?

The undercover agent's target was indeed the boss, which meant she couldn't utter a single word.

Having reached this conclusion, she became emboldened once again.

At this point, she was determined to take all the blame, and the Japanese higher-ups also needed someone to step forward and take responsibility. As long as she continued to persist, the charges would be settled soon.

Let's put a perfect end to this incident.

At this moment, all she could do was pray that through this plan, the boss would be able to find the mole that was indeed hidden within the organization.

"I don't know what you're talking about. That software was just something I found on the dark web. As for the chat logs you mentioned, they were just from one of my lovers. What's the problem with that?"

Now it was Xia Chuan's turn to be surprised.

It's unbelievable that 58-year-old Eita Torada could still utter such raunchy words.
