Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 662 Pressure on Yoshiaki Men
Upon learning of the fire at the Daimon residence, Kogoro Mouri's drunkenness vanished almost instantly, carried away by the wind and snow. He turned to make sure everyone was still there before feeling relieved.

"But what exactly happened?"

"Natsukawa, did you rescue us?" Kogoro Mouri asked in confusion, looking at the black ash on Natsukawa's body and the charred corner of his clothes.

Xia Chuan nodded slightly, his face showing unspeakable exhaustion: "It was Daimon Yoshiaki who started the fire. Not long after I got back to my room, I thought I'd go out for a smoke, and that's when I discovered Daimon Yoshiaki's actions."

"He had a gun and accomplices. The crucial point was that the fire had already started to spread, and at that point, we could only quietly move you away; there was no time to stop it."

"I see. What about the rest of the family?" the village policeman asked.

The fact that Xiuyou Village has survived to this day is largely due to the efforts of Damen Heavy Industries. If this entire family were to die, not to mention what Damen Heavy Industries would face afterward, my own police career would probably be over.

Xia Chuan began to slowly recount his story.

According to Natsukawa's account, Yoshiaki Daimon was not alone; he had other accomplices.

After the fire broke out, Natsukawa immediately moved Anya and the others. When he was about to move the last person, Conan, he was discovered by Daimon Yoshiaki, and the others immediately launched an attack.

Fortunately, Natsukawa was skilled in martial arts and defeated two of them before leaving with Conan.

The big bump on Conan's forehead was from that time.

Natsukawa's narration was vivid and detailed, and the bulge on Conan's forehead was also very telling. The police officer still had some doubts, but after learning about Kogoro Mouri's identity, his doubts disappeared.

Someone like Kogoro Mouri could never be involved in this case; on the contrary, he's the unlucky one who shouldn't be being questioned.

The heavy snow stopped after daybreak, and a Metropolitan Police Department helicopter crossed the snow-covered mountains to arrive at Xiuyou Village.

Forensic investigators confirmed that all members of the Daimon family except for Daimon Yoshiaki were dead. Two other members, suspected to be members of the ritual team, also died at the Daimon family's residence. Handguns were found near them, corroborating Natsukawa's testimony.

At the same time, Natsukawa directly spoke to Inspector Megure, asking him to keep the details about him and Anya to himself as concealed as possible.

Knowing that the Natsukawa family might be under surveillance, and that it was truly pitiful that they had to disguise themselves to go on vacation, Inspector Megure nodded in agreement.

The next day.

The Natsukawa family home in Beika-cho, Tokyo.

Conan stood at the door of Natsukawa's house, his finger pressed on the doorbell.

This time he finally learned his lesson and didn't stubbornly stick to the trick.

A moment later, the door opened, and Anya poked her head out, looking at Conan with a hint of hostility.

If Conan hadn't messed with her yesterday, she definitely would have noticed Yoshiaki Daimon's little tricks.

Afterwards, Anya discovered that her camera's SD card had disappeared. The reason was obvious: Conan. So when she saw Conan arrive, Anya thought he had some evidence against her and wanted to exchange it for the embarrassing video from before.

it's out of the question!

In comparison, Conan only has one scandal, while she has countless scandals involving Conan.

"Don't worry, I'm here to see Uncle Xia Chuan about something important."

Conan waved his hand and was about to open the door, but Anya was surprisingly strong and pulled hard, making it impossible for Conan to open it.

He inwardly complained that his strength had decreased as he shrank, but outwardly he patiently said, "I already told you, I have something to discuss with Uncle Xia Chuan. Don't block my way here, or Uncle Xia Chuan will punish you later."

"Hmph!" Anya rolled her eyes, but after hearing Conan's inner monologue, she breathed a sigh of relief and let him in.

Where is Uncle Xia Chuan?

"Not here!"

"Then why didn't you say anything just now?"

"You didn't ask!!!" Anya crossed her arms, chuckled, and glanced sideways at Conan, who had just been tricked.

"Do you know where Uncle Xia Chuan went?"

"I don't know, they went out early this morning."

It seems something really did happen that night of the fire.

Conan pulled out the promised fried peanuts and cocoa from behind his back and handed them to Anya: "This is what we agreed on before. If there's anything else you want to tell me, here's some more."

Anya had already taken the peanut and opened it. The fragrant aroma filled her with delight, and upon hearing Conan's words, the thought of wanting it immediately arose in her mind.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment.

There are two bags of fried peanuts. As long as she hides them and her father doesn't find out, he will buy her more, so she will have enough peanuts for a short time.

If that's the case, then there's no need to keep it; it will just expire anyway.

Anya was as shrewd as a genius when it came to peanuts.

"Never mind, let me finish eating first. Besides, I really don't know where my father is." Anya shrugged helplessly. Her father left too early, and he was already gone when she woke up. Even if she wanted to find out through her thoughts, she wouldn't have a chance.

Bond, on the other hand, could do that.

But forget it, it's not worth it for Conan.

Yesterday, the father clearly guessed that Conan's knowledge of Yoshiaki Daimon's situation was related to him, so it would be best for Conan to behave himself for the time being.

Conan returned disappointed, feeling that Natsukawa was deliberately avoiding him.

However, he wasn't wrong. Xia Chuan really didn't want to waste time with Conan and had already left early in the morning.

Yesterday, Yoshiaki Daimon was taken back to the villa by Frank and locked in the same basement as the Tequila Hotel.

After a day of treatment, her condition has improved somewhat, and she is now able to have conversations.

Yoshiaki Daimon's hands were wrapped in thick bandages, and he was more exhausted than ever before.

"What are you trying to do! Kill me!"

After waking up in the middle of the night yesterday, Xia Chuan didn't let him sleep again, constantly shining high-intensity lights on him, and waking him up with electric shocks or cold water whenever he felt sleepy.

Less than twelve hours have passed, and Yoshiaki Daimon is already on the verge of collapse.

Inside the observation room, Frank frowned slightly. "His condition doesn't seem like he's received professional training. Is he really from the distillery?"

"Maybe not, but he's not like he said, just an outsider who follows orders."

Natsukawa believed some of what Daimon Yoshiro said, but not all of it. Who knew if the other party was hiding something? He decided to torment him for a while and see how his mental state was before making a decision.

He originally planned to let Anya read the other party's thoughts, but later he felt that Anya's constant listening to the thoughts of bad people might affect her character, so he decided that he would not let Anya take action unless it was particularly important.

This is the love from an elderly father.

"If you reveal your relationship with the Black Organization, do you think they would easily entrust something as simple as a weapons workshop to an outsider?"

Through the loudspeaker, Xia Chuan continued to put pressure on you: "No one will save you now. The Black Organization will even think you died in the fire, and your teammates ran away with the gold after you died."

"You only have one path before you now: tell me everything you know!"

Yoshiaki Daimon suddenly fell silent; those words were indeed somewhat hurtful.

It's like you're trying your best to persevere, but when you turn around, your home is gone.
