Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 890 Tracking and Suspicion

Unaware of her best friend's thoughts, Ran was simply worried about Shinichi Kudo.

After observing for a morning, I realized that this person was indeed the Shinichi I knew, but he wasn't in a good state.

It's strange that he caught a cold even though it's summer, and his face was pale, looking like he could collapse at any moment.

Anya's big eyes darted around, and noticing Xiaolan's worry about her childhood sweetheart, she immediately spoke up to explain.

"Oh dear, does Shinichi have kidney problems?"

"What do you mean?" Xiaolan asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

Anya explained earnestly from the side, "Because Shinichi's current state is very similar to Uncle Frank's before. Father mentioned Uncle Frank before, what did he say again? Let me think."

Anya put her round finger to her lips, thought hard for a moment, and then remembered, and said loudly, "If you didn't have sex with men every day, you wouldn't be so pale, have such dark circles under your eyes, and easily trip over things when you walk."

Although none of the people present were adults, apart from Anya, who was an innocent and ignorant child, the others were all practically adults. This is a statement that those who understand, understand.

The scene fell into an eerie silence.

"what--"

Sonoko looked surprised, then blinked as if she had suddenly realized something, and clapped her hands: "Hiss—I know, Ran! Shinichi Kudo is cheating on you. All that talk about being tied up with cases is a lie. He definitely has a girlfriend somewhere else!"

Thankfully, Kogoro Mouri hadn't woken up yet and followed along, otherwise he would already be fighting Shinichi Kudo to the death.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Shinichi Kudo's face turned bright red, and he almost coughed up his lungs.

Sonoko Suzuki is definitely Ran's best friend.

"Suzuki Sonoko, I've put up with you for too long!" Shinichi Kudo walked over angrily, then bumped into Makoto Kyogoku and was bounced back.

As he fell, Makoto Kyogoku instinctively caught him.

"Sonoko was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Taking advantage of that moment, Makoto Kyogoku whispered something in Shinichi Kudo's ear.

However, this joke went a bit too far.
Shinichi Kudo expressed his dissatisfaction with his eyes: You can say I'm not in good spirits, but you can't say I have kidney problems. That's a man's bottom line!

Minors are men too!
Shinichi Kudo muttered to himself, secretly making a grudge, planning to turn back into Conan and find an opportunity to take revenge when Makoto Kyogoku wasn't around.

The latter is the key point.

"Actually, it's not necessarily true. A pale complexion, weak legs, and dark circles under the eyes could be signs of anemia, insufficient cardiopulmonary function such as heart failure, or chronic fatigue syndrome, commonly known as insomnia. It doesn't necessarily mean kidney deficiency."

Ai Haibara spoke slowly and calmly, unlike a child.

However, everyone else was already used to her personality, after all, Ai Haibara wouldn't inexplicably act cute.

"That's right, that's right. I have insomnia. After learning the mystery from Conan yesterday, I didn't sleep all night. I was researching this thing, otherwise I wouldn't have found this place so early."

Shinichi Kudo was happy to finally hear someone speak to him, but he still felt that his good brother didn't need to put the words "kidney deficiency" at the end and emphasize them.

"Oh right, it could also be that she's on her period."

Ai Haibara gave a very serious explanation, leaving the others speechless.

"Ai, you know so much."

It has to be said that of Xia Chuan's two daughters, the one he picked up is the smarter one.

Although they didn't want to question Anya's intelligence, everyone felt that Ai Haibara was more like their biological daughter.

Anya pouted, feeling indignant upon hearing Ai Haibara's thoughts. She vowed to remember the grudge and wait for the right opportunity to repay Ai Haibara.

"That's normal. There are a lot of science programs on TV now. I just happened to watch one about conditioning the body."

"Really? I don't remember having this show?" Makoto Kyogoku asked curiously, stroking his chin.

He is quite interested in this kind of program.

After all, he is a karate expert and is transitioning to comprehensive combat. Recently, he has been studying human medicine, which helps him to discover his opponent's weaknesses more quickly during combat.

Ai Haibara was shocked. Does anyone even care about this?
Conan always says that no one doubts him because he watches science programs on TV, but he gets questioned as soon as he takes action.

Fortunately, she was thick-skinned enough and simply raised an eyebrow, saying, "My TV is connected to a foreign signal, so it's normal that you haven't seen it."

Anya was about to take revenge when Ai Haibara pushed her back down.

You little brat, I know exactly what you're thinking!
Ai Haibara felt that Anya didn't know her true feelings, but Anya did, and she knew that Ai Haibara didn't know that she knew her true feelings.

"Hmph, just wait, one day I'll make you die in front of everyone."

Anya was secretly chirping.

In an unknown corner in the distance, a telescope is observing everything here.

This person is none other than Section Chief Iwanaga.

He shouldn't have been this far away, because he couldn't hear a sound at all; it was like watching a silent film.

But there was nothing he could do. Kyogoku Makoto was a strange guy; he seemed to have a strong intuition for observation, and he almost discovered that Kyogoku was following him several times.

"It seems they really have something. Kogoro Mouri didn't even have to step in, yet they managed to attract Shinichi Kudo. It seems I'm destined to find a treasure."

"But that Makoto Kyogoku doesn't seem like a simple person. The island is in such chaos lately. It would be bad if other treasure hunters found him. I need to prepare for the worst."

Section Chief Iwanaga felt a pang of heartache as he touched his empty pockets.

But he had to spend money to hire someone to help him.

"Who should I ask? The dark web isn't safe; they might kill me if they see treasure. It's too dangerous." After much deliberation, Section Chief Iwanaga finally made up his mind. "Looks like I have no choice but to ask them."

The sight returns.

"Ah Zhen, what are you looking at?"

Kyogoku Makoto then withdrew his gaze.

He always had a feeling that someone was watching him, but unfortunately, he couldn't find anything after observing many times, so he had to give up.

"It's nothing." Makoto Kyogoku shook his head, put his hands in his pockets and smiled. "There seems to be a beach down there. Shall we go for a walk? We've already finished our morning mission anyway."

Makoto Kyogoku isn't interested in treasure, and Sonoko Suzuki simply enjoys the feeling of searching for it, but if the beach were an option, she would be willing to listen to Makoto Kyogoku's opinion.

Sonoko was already wearing a bikini when she left home this morning, and now she's just wearing a long T-shirt over it.

The white T-shirt was somewhat transparent, which was noticed by the sharp-eyed Makoto Kyogoku. That's why he wanted to go to the beach. He believed that Shinichi Kudo thought the same thing, since Ran was dressed the same way.

"I can see it."

Shinichi Kudo nodded silently.

The main reason was that I felt the second coded message needed to be sent to a well-ventilated place, and the beach below was a good fit, plus there were no other people around, so it wouldn't disturb my thinking.

During halftime, after having enjoyed the view, the two high school boys huddled together.

"Have you noticed? It seems like someone is following us."

Kyogoku Makoto ultimately didn't hide anything and told Kudo Shinichi the situation. He was the kind of person with strong combat skills, and although he considered himself to be very good at noticing details and investigation, he believed that everyone had their own area of ​​expertise, and it was better to tell the detective about such things rather than waste his own brainpower.

"Is that so?" Shinichi Kudo nodded, not surprised at all.

The other party's tone and attitude made Makoto Kyogoku frown; it seemed as if they didn't care at all.

Does that mean he already knows?

"Do you know who it is? Could it be related to the strange man in black that Mr. Mori encountered last night?"

"No," Shinichi Kudo shook his head slightly, a confident smile on his face, though it was unclear what he was so confident about.

"Didn't you notice?"

"what?"

"Section Chief Iwanaga."

"Is Section Chief Iwanaga suspicious? Was he the one who was following us?"

Makoto Kyogoku was stunned and subconsciously asked, "You just arrived today, how do you know about Section Chief Iwanaga, and even think there's something wrong with him?"

Iwanaga's previous behavior was indeed strange, but after agreeing to Anya and Conan's conditions, he seemed to have disappeared, so he temporarily dispelled his suspicions.

"Hahaha, Conan told me all of this. He's the one who discovered Section Chief Iwanaga's problem."

Shinichi Kudo's forehead was covered in sweat.

Add a side effect.

This experimental antidote seems to lower one's IQ after ingestion. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't make such a basic mistake; he would have stated from the beginning that the information came from Conan.

"Oh."

"Hehehe, let's hurry up and continue searching for the treasure. Only by finding the treasure will we know what Section Chief Iwanaga's purpose really is."

"That's right."

Meanwhile, after returning to the hotel, Xia Chuan took Yole to the diving equipment center.

Accompanying them were Nakamori Aoko and Kuroba Kaito.

Actually, the diving arrangement was finalized yesterday, and both Joel and Aoko were interested.

The diving equipment center isn't large, but it's quite famous on Poseidon Island, recommended by hotel staff.

The owner and employees of the equipment store were both women, and both had very good figures; at least Kaito's eyes never left them.

She has a great figure, curvaceous but not voluptuous, with a wheat-colored complexion that gives her a wild beauty.

"My mouth is watering."

Xia Chuan chuckled and muttered something, just about to remind him, when he heard a sour voice from the other's childhood friend: "Hey, Kaito, what are you looking at!"

Aoko stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily.

Staring at girls so openly is shameless; his behavior is comparable to that of a stalker.

At first, Kaito was yelling that he would never go into the sea, but Natsukawa dragged him along, saying he would help him overcome his fear. Then, after they arrived at the diving equipment room, he suddenly became quiet.

I wasn't paying attention when I was choosing a diving suit, but now I realize that the other person's eyes were fixed on the boss's wife and employees the whole time.

"I wasn't looking at it."

"I saw it all, and Sister Joel saw it too, right?"

Joel nodded slightly.

Kaito is a great guy in every way, except he's a bit too lecherous.

And it's that kind of
"What? You've misunderstood me."

As if worried that others would hear, Kaito lowered his voice: "Didn't you guys notice? Their muscles are too streamlined, their movements are cunning, and they are very strong. They could lift two oxygen tanks in one hand just now."

"And from the moment they entered until now, they have never turned their backs to us, as if they were on guard against something."

His meaning was simple: he wasn't looking at the beautiful woman, but rather he noticed something wrong with her behavior.

"So what? Two girls run a diving equipment store, isn't it normal for them to be strong because they lift a lot of oxygen tanks?"

Kaito shrugged nonchalantly. "Is that really true? I just noticed that their fingerprints are very clear."

"What do you mean?"

Aoko was even more confused and angry.

Kaito is too observant; he even noticed the fingerprints on the other person's hand. How can you say he's not a pervert?
"People who run diving equipment stores usually love diving as well. However, prolonged diving or soaking in water can cause fingerprints to become blurred or faint. Of course, they will recover as long as you stop soaking in water for extended periods."

Natsukawa mentioned it, saying he had also noticed the problem, but unlike Kaito, he didn't just be aware of it and be cautious.

"That's right. Didn't they just tell you that they've had a lot of customers in the last few months? They've been in the water for several hours almost every day. Under such circumstances, even if the fingerprints on their hands don't wear off completely, they'll still have very obvious creases or be unclear."

"What's going on?"

This must be Kaito's excuse.

Aoko had already decided that when they went into the water, she would hold Kaito down on the seabed so that he could have close contact with the colorful fish.

"Be careful."

He spoke casually on the surface, but in reality, Kaito was already on high alert.

"There will be more than just us going out to sea later; there will be others too. I'm worried this could be another attack. Especially since Brother Xia Chuan was just attacked yesterday; I don't know if this will be the same."

Xia Chuan nodded slightly: "Yo'er, please take good care of Qingzi later."

"What attack?"

Qingzi shuddered. Could what Xiaolan said this morning be true?
Half an hour later.

Xia Chuan and his three companions encountered another group of tourists at the dock who were going diving. Calling them tourists was inaccurate; they were more like assassins or treasure hunters disguised as tourists.

Upon seeing Xia Chuan and his group, the other three guests showed no interest in greeting them, nor were they surprised. They glanced at them a few times before boarding the ship expressionlessly and finding a corner to adjust their equipment.

They clearly had extensive diving experience and were very knowledgeable about diving equipment, which somewhat dispelled Xia Chuan's doubts.

The decision to go diving was made only yesterday, and the equipment store was only chosen today. If there are any problems, it's probably because we're here for the treasures.

If I remember correctly, the original plot was about a group of treasure hunters trying to find the female pirate's treasure.

Come to think of it, he seems to know some information about the entrance to the treasure.

The people Xia Chuan killed last night were after the female pirate's treasure. From them, Xia Chuan obtained a set of latitude and longitude coordinates.

If I remember correctly, it seems to be the place where they are going to dive this time—an area in the Azure Sea near the outlying island of Seijima.

It seems that this diving trip, even if it's not specifically targeting us, won't be peaceful.
