Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 861: Combine vertically and horizontally
However, Xia Chuan only mentioned it briefly and did not continue to press the issue.

With Anya, a mind reader, around, he wouldn't really care even if he knew a fire was going to happen.

It's a pity that we suddenly encountered a full moon. Speaking of which, next time there's such a dangerous plan, we must check in advance whether it's a full moon.

It's a pity I don't dare let others know, otherwise I really wanted Professor Agasa to investigate why Anya's superpowers would fail under the full moon.

Does Anya also experience tidal reactions?
After saying goodbye to Kaito, who appeared indifferent but had actually contacted his butler grandfather to conduct further investigations, the Natsukawa family drove back to Tokyo.

Tokyo, which had been peaceful for a few days, was destined to be thrown into chaos again by the return of the famous detective, but none of this had anything to do with Natsukawa.

Upon returning to Tokyo, Natsukawa immediately met with Amuro Tooru.

In order to strengthen cooperation, Natsukawa agreed to Yuri's request, which was to confront Amuro Tooru.

Amuro Tooru already knew that Tequila was a spy, and now he's simply connecting Tequila with him.

With Rum's arrival, a storm is brewing. Establishing a partnership with a trustworthy and capable person in advance will be beneficial for the upcoming actions.

Amuro Tooru must have just returned from somewhere else; he looks travel-worn.

Surprisingly, the white hoodie and his chocolate-colored skin tone went well together, probably because he was handsome enough.

Compared to Heiji Hattori, he was not only several shades darker, but also several shades more handsome.

His arrival drew frequent glances from passersby, proving his absurd popularity, even among voice actors.

"Next time I suggest you wear a mask and sunglasses, otherwise you'll easily attract attention."

"Why do you have so many problems? I finally made it all the way back from Hokkaido to see you, and you give me this attitude?"

Amuro Tooru said with a chuckle, then looked at Natsukawa beside him.

Although he wasn't involved in the events in Nishitama City, Kazami Yuya had already explained the situation to him.

He had already sensed Yuri's change; his attitude towards the high-ranking officials of the Public Security Bureau seemed different now, and he could try to cooperate more deeply. This was why he rushed back to meet Yuri, even though he had a mission to Karasuma Renya.

Now that he sees Xia Chuan, he feels that his decision was absolutely correct. Perhaps not only Yuri, but also Xia Chuan, a master who often causes trouble for the brewery, can be won over.

"Mr. Xia Chuan, congratulations on your successful proposal. Yuri's sister is a very good girl, and I hope you will treat her well."

Amuro Tooru looked at Natsukawa with a serious expression, his eyes sparkling, and his words conveyed a sense of warmth and friendliness.

"Mr. Amuro is not in Tokyo, yet he knows everything that's going on there. No wonder he's the boss's intelligence officer; he's truly remarkable."

Amuro Tooru was startled and turned to look at Yuri.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense as soon as we sat down.

Amuro Tooru frowned and did not reply.

Amuro Tooru was an alias he only used within the brewery.

Although he knew that Natsukawa knew a lot about the organization, he should at most know that his code name was Bourbon, but not the alias Amuro Tooru.

unless
"Mr. Xia Chuan, what's your code name in the organization? It's not Tequila, is it?"

This is a test.

His handsome face was devoid of a smile, and his serious expression conveyed a sense of earnestness.

No joke, if Xia Chuan can't give a reasonable explanation, then he will put the other party on the opposite side.

"Furuya, when did you find out that Agave was from Natsukawa? Why didn't you tell me?"

Yuri was originally planning to stand with his hands on his hips and tell Amuro Tooru that he had given the team a powerful backer, and that if everyone cooperated well from now on, the overthrow of the brewery would be just around the corner.

But the other person's words immediately wiped the smile off his face.

Amuro Tooru actually guessed that Tequila was Natsukawa's person. Why didn't he tell me something so important sooner?

"You're the one who told me about the agave problem."

Amuro Tooru was completely confused. So what was Yuriyo planning to do here? Natsukawa was already here.

Staring at that flushed face for a long time, he finally realized that Yuri had been kept in the dark by Xia Chuan all along, not that he already knew but hadn't told him.

So he misunderstood him. It wasn't that Yuri was wary of him; he was also kept in the dark about the relationship.

It's understandable that she had this expression after being kept in the dark by her brother-in-law for almost half a year.

"Hey, why did you suddenly pat my shoulder?"

Yuri's face darkened further as he looked at the hand that landed on his shoulder. He was the middleman, yet he was the one who guessed last, and he felt like he was being made a clown.

"It's nothing, it's just that your shoulders feel very heavy. Kuroda Hyoue must have been putting a lot of pressure on you, right?"

When faced with an awkward situation, using people or things that no one likes to change the subject is a timeless trick.

"(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~"

"The pressure is immense, but as long as it's for national security, it's nothing."

However, he is now on the verge of being sidelined.

Yuri gave a bitter smile.

His subordinates had become the subordinates of the deputy team leaders, and the only person he could still command was Kazami Yuya, which was only because Kazami Yuya was Furuya Rei's contact person.

As one of the few people within the public security bureau who knew about Jiang Gu's identity, he benefited from the identity bonus.

Kuroda Hyōe remained the same as always. Even after accepting the Nagano Prefecture trio, he still held back and did not tell them about Furuya Rei.

Even now, the Nagano Prefecture trio still thinks the police have limited knowledge of the brewery, and they have no idea that the police had already infiltrated the brewery a long time ago.

Despite some sacrifices, the remaining Furuya Rei has become the boss's intelligence officer.

An undercover agent becoming an intelligence officer is something they probably wouldn't even dare to dream of.

“My privileges have plummeted to rock bottom, all thanks to this guy!” Yuri glared at Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan shrugged helplessly. If he didn't tell Yuri about this, it might cause even more trouble.

Moreover, it wouldn't be right for Joel to be proposed to if his younger brother didn't come.

"When I left the Public Security Headquarters this morning, I think I saw Morofushi Takaaki walk into Kuroda Hyōe's office with a very bad expression."

"Logically, he should be happy to have more power, but he had that kind of expression."

Yuri turned his gaze to Natsukawa. He remembered that Natsukawa seemed to have said something to the other party yesterday, and then Morofushi Takaaki's face turned very ugly.

The fact that they contacted Kuroda Heiwei today is probably related to what Natsukawa mentioned before.

"I can tell you if you want to know."

“If you don’t recognize the surname Morofushi, you should recognize Amuro Tooru.” Natsukawa turned to look at the handsome dark-skinned man.

Sure enough, upon hearing the name Morofushi, Blackie's gaze sharpened immediately. This involved his painful past and Shuichi Akai.

"Could it be."

Amuro Tooru nodded slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, it's related to Kagemitsu, right? When I heard the name Morofushi Takaaki, I had a guess. I remember meeting Kagemitsu's older brother a long time ago. I didn't expect him to be acquainted with Kuroda Hyōe."

"So there was this connection in the middle."

Yuri knew very well about Morofushi Kagemitsu's affairs; he had simply not connected them before and thought it was a coincidence, but now it was confirmed.

"But is Morofushi Kagemitsu really dead? What exactly happened after you managed to infiltrate the brewery?"

Yuri had some doubts.

Rei Furuya is very capable, so much so that he sometimes feels inferior to him.

How bad could Morofushi Kagemitsu, a classmate of his, be?

This person died inexplicably at the distillery, and even now the reason is still unknown. There's always a feeling that something fishy is going on.

If he could create the illusion of Curaçao's death, it's not hard to understand why Rei Furuya and Kagemitsu Morofushi could team up to fake his death.

He even figured out the reason.

It was simply because Morofushi Kagemitsu was exposed, and Kuroda Hyōe was not trusted by them.

In this way, Morofushi Kagemitsu went into the shadows, left the brewery and went back to investigate Kuroda Hyōe and others, forming a strategic alliance with Amuro Tooru.

Xia Chuan also had some doubts.

There is no doubt that Morofushi Kagemitsu died in front of Akai Shuichi.

But what's the reason?

Aoyama delayed telling others the reason why Morofushi Kagemitsu was exposed and his entanglement with Akai Shuichi.

I always felt that Amuro Tooru's hatred for Akai Shuichi wasn't simply because the latter forced Morofushi Hiromitsu to his death. There might also be a one-and-a-half-hour theatrical version involved, but unfortunately, Aoyama never explained this secret until he traveled through time.

Strictly speaking, most of the important secrets, apart from Karasuma Renya's identity, have left Natsukawa somewhat confused about Karasuma Renya's true purpose after more than a thousand episodes.

Some say he did it for immortality, others say he has already achieved immortality, but immortality has side effects, and research on A is to suppress or resolve these side effects.

In short, past plot developments and information seem to offer him little help now.

Therefore, I really hope to hear some useful information from Amuro Tooru.

“Hmm.” Amuro Tooru nodded slightly, then shook his head. “I don’t want to talk about the past anymore, but this matter has a lot to do with Shuichi Akai. That guy used us as stepping stones, and one day he will pay for it.”

For the first time, a murderous glint appeared deep in Amuro Tooru's eyes.

really!

Natsukawa's guess was correct; something might have happened between Amuro Tooru, Akai Shuichi, and Morofushi Kagemitsu in private.

But since they won't tell us, there's nothing we can do.

"correct."

Amuro Tooru looked at Natsukawa and said, "You didn't call me here today just to chat about everyday things or reminisce about the past, did you?"

Xia Chuan nodded.

“That’s not it. Let’s talk about cooperation.” Xia Chuan smiled slightly and got down to business: “You should know about Rum’s visit to Japan.”

"Ah."

"I know."

“He was at the base in Tokyo last night, and then went into an office with Vermouth and Binga for a private talk. Nobody knows what they talked about, except that Vermouth slammed the door and left, and Rum and Binga talked inside for a long time.”

“Great! Gin is in Kyoto, Rum and Vermouth are in Tokyo. Apart from Karasuma Renya, we don’t know where they are. Can we take them down in one fell swoop? If we keep going, we should be able to find out where Karasuma Renya is hiding.”

"No." ×2
Natsukawa and Amuro Tooru shook their heads simultaneously.

This idea is somewhat naive.

"Rum and Binga have left the Tokyo base. Almost all orders today were given remotely via telephone. They must have realized that there are moles in the Japanese branch and are very vigilant."

"Moreover, they may not know where Karasuma Renya is hiding, and we cannot gamble on that probability. As long as Karasuma Renya is alive, it will be impossible to uncover their true secrets, and some things may even make a comeback."

Amuro Tooru was deeply worried about this.

Karasuma Renya is incredibly mysterious, and his motives are incomprehensible.

Recently, he was even sent to a health control center in Hokkaido to steal some research data about the human body, which I feel is not quite the same as what I suspected before.

Karasuma Renya is probably researching immortality, right? Could it be that because Sherry disappeared, he changed his research approach and decided to look for a new way out through the human body?

He had read all those materials; they were about research on human cell regeneration and iteration. Although drug A was also based on human research, it just didn't feel like the same thing.

Adding to his confusion was the fact that Sindora's lab had been frantically searching for living people to use for experiments.

The hiding place of Karasuma Renya and his purpose were the two things he most wanted to know, but there had been no progress for so long.

This is also why he actively kept the appointment today.

One person's strength is limited. With Kuroda Hyōe on the Public Security Bureau's side, there are many obstacles. If we can form an alliance with Natsukawa, I believe there will be unexpected developments.

"So what are the details of the cooperation?"

“Since Kuroda Hyōe’s approach is inconsistent with our principles, why can’t we build a new team ourselves and use the public security identity as a cover to conduct in-depth investigations?”

Upon hearing this, Yuri immediately perked up and told the other party about Curaçao.

"Curaçao isn't dead?"

Amuro Tooru exclaimed in surprise, then seemed to realize something and asked in a daze, "What did you just say? You want to recruit Curaçao into the team?"

Amuro Tooru frowned and remained silent.

Suddenly I have a feeling of not wanting to cooperate. Bringing a member of the black-clad organization into this team that is still in its infancy, aren't we afraid that they will find out everything about us?
If they could really subdue him, then Curaçao wouldn't be Rum's most capable subordinate.

Even back when they were still in Europe, it was clear that Curaçao was definitely Rum's most trusted subordinate.

How can someone like that just rebel so easily? Are they playing house?

"Your thinking is too naive. Curaçao is very stubborn. She has already chosen Rum and will not side with anyone else. If you are thinking of getting her to join you..."

He shook his head slightly, expressing his skepticism.

“That’s what I thought at first too, but Xia Chuan must have his reasons for saying that. We can listen to his opinion.”

Yuri shared the same doubts. In order not to let the two of them see his excessive thirst for knowledge, he finished speaking and looked at Xia Chuan with composure and elegance, behaving like a wise and experienced strategist.
