Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 726 The Sudden Explosion

While investigating Gin's whereabouts, the two girls happened to run into Ran and Kazuha. The two girls had been shopping with Yoru, so they knew about what had happened at the hotel and told them about it.

Compared to Xia Chuan, who was much farther away, they arrived much faster.

"Another little kid. Are kids getting in the way every day?"

"Big Brother, this guy, he was always getting in my way back when we were in Xidu."

With his cheeks swollen, Vodka could barely utter a single grammatical word. He looked incredibly comical, and Conan almost didn't recognize him.

"Who are you people? Why are you attacking children?!"

Heiji Hattori thought for a moment, but still didn't call out Gin and Vodka's names. The more he knew, the faster he would die.

At most, these two people think that he only wanted to save two children, and they have no idea that he actually knows their identities.

Conan had the same idea. He could see it, but he would pretend not to know Gin's identity. That way, he might be able to fool them and not affect Ran and Uncle Kogoro's lives.

"I've seen you before. You appeared in Nishitama City last time. What exactly do you want? Is it revenge?"

Conan remained calm, remarking that as expected of the son of a big star, he also possessed considerable talent in acting.

The key point is that Gin and vodka seem to have come to believe it.

Whether or not it is believed is not very important at this time; the main purpose is still to serve Xia Chuan's family.

Adding an elementary school student and a high school student won't have much impact on the battle, and besides, Joel doesn't have much fighting power left.

At least that's what Gin thinks.

Gin ignored Conan and Heiji Hattori's questions and unleashed a torrent of bullets as if they were free.

The netting directly covered Conan and Hattori, who were posing for a photo.

The two stumbled to the side in a sorry state, and their initial arrogance vanished instantly.

Just then, another sound came from afar.

—It's the roar of a motorcycle engine!

Upon hearing the sound, Hattori's expression changed slightly. He was very familiar with the sound of his car's engine; wasn't this his car?

Sure enough, Kawasaki rushed into the scene, his long, impressive legs stepping off the car.

"Um, I just saw a motorcycle parked illegally at the entrance. Whose is it? Don't you know it's dangerous to park like that?"

Baileys!

Vodka's eyes lit up. "Vermouth must have sent you, right?"

Wearing a helmet, Baileys rolled her eyes inwardly, didn't reply, and instead looked at the battlefield.

Actually, she got the information from the peripheral members.

However, this is something that can't be told to Gin. The organization has been quite unsettled lately, and if it gets out that I got the information from an outsider, they might suspect me of being a mole or something.

It's better to avoid trouble; being suspected is a real hassle.

She was startled to find Joel there as well.

Upon discovering that the other party was injured, he glanced at Gin in surprise.

Is Gin really that awesome? Then how come he got kicked away last time?

Could it be that he went to receive special training from the boss during his disappearance?

She walked over to Gin and whispered, "It's strange that the police haven't arrived yet despite all the commotion you've made." Gin glanced at her, guessed the reason, and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry about that. Let's take him down first. What the boss wants is very likely in Xia Chuan's hands."

"So, is his daughter and girlfriend the target this time?"

Baileys didn't really want to hurt Xia Chuan's daughter, but with Gin and the others there, she had no choice but to nod and stand beside them.

"Hey, isn't that a submachine gun behind that woman? She also has a tactical knife and a pistol on her calf. If she gets a barrage of fire, we can't beat her at all."

Heiji Hattori muttered to himself and winked at Conan.

They are detectives; their forte is intellectual battles rather than physical combat.

Especially Conan, that guy has almost no offensive capabilities. It would be best to find a way to escape and leave this place first.

"Of course I know, but you need a chance to escape. Where did Xia Chuan go? Such a big thing happened, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

Reflecting on the fact that he had been telling the other person he was very busy over the past two days, he now finally believed that the other person might genuinely be busy and unable to even care about the life or death of their family members.

Just as he was thinking this, Conan's keen hearing suddenly picked up a sound.

The sound was quite crisp, and almost everyone except Ai Haibara and Anya noticed it, immediately turning their gaze towards the direction of the sound.

Suddenly, a round object appeared in the middle of everyone's eyes.

Then came the second one, and the third one.
The oval-shaped, military-green object was covered with rectangular grids, and the ring that should have been attached to it had long since disappeared!

"Damn, it's a grenade!"

Everyone recoiled like cats with their fur standing on end.

"Rumble--"

The explosion was deafening, and at the same time, the hotel guests felt the floor shake. The fear of being dominated by an earthquake overwhelmed them, and they spontaneously began to evacuate the hotel.

Inside the underground parking lot, the explosion was followed by a cacophony of alarms.

All the vehicles were flashing their lights and honking their horns frantically. The ground was cracking inch by inch, cracks were spreading on several load-bearing pillars, and the walls overhead were also cracking. The scene was extremely chaotic.

The pervasive smoke and dust obscured visibility, to the point where you could barely see your hand in front of your face.

The deafening sound caused everyone to experience tinnitus and dizziness.

Gin, who was lying on the ground, was so angry that he slammed his fist on the ground, only to hit a small piece of debris that got embedded in his palm.

"hateful!"

The grenade appeared so suddenly that Gin almost didn't dodge it.

How dare you, Xia Chuan!

Don't they even care about his family?

Of all the people in that group, only Xia Chuan, who hadn't appeared before, could have done this.

But that's a tactical grenade, isn't it?

This guy can even get his hands on US military equipment. Who is supporting him?
Could it be that eagle from the Ooka family who rarely shows his face, or has the Kawasaki family taken the wrong medicine?
No, no, no, I'm overthinking it. A few grenades don't prove anything unless Xia Chuan pulls out a whole box of grenades.

"Brother, shall we run? With this commotion, the police will probably have to come out, and they've probably all gone far away by now."

Gin's gaze swept across the faces of Vodka and Baileys, and he saw regret and anger in their eyes.

He shook his head slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "You still underestimate that guy from the Ooka family. If he wants to, no police will bother him. It's already gotten this bad. Notify the outer guards to come here directly. Tonight, I'll show Natsukawa what happens when he offends me!"
