Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 932 New Classmates at Teitan High School
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Kusuda Rikudo dared not speak, quietly waiting for Gin to come to his senses.

Anyone who hears this news will be confused.

Even if the organization's original purpose in researching APTX4869 was to develop a longevity drug, the fact that such a thing actually appeared inevitably gave people a feeling of being trapped in a dream.

"Could APTX4869 really make people younger?"

“When Akai Mary died, she was fifty-one years old, and this little girl, Akai Mary, was thirteen years old?”

Gin muttered softly, rubbing his temples.

He wanted to contact the boss, but the problem was that he couldn't reach him right now.

This is something I can't tell Vermouth and Rum; I can only investigate it in secret.

Do you know where she is?

Kusuda Rikudo shook his head.

Gin frowned in disappointment, his eyes sharpening. "We have the name and appearance, so why can't we find the person?"

"Actually, it's not that there's absolutely no information, but the information only goes up to about half a month ago, and then there's no trace of it."

"Then let's start the investigation from that time."

Gin stood up and grabbed Kusuda Rikumichi by the collar. "You're in charge of handling this. Don't tell anyone. If Rum or Vermouth finds out, I'll skin you alive."

"I see."

Kusuda Rikudo's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He knew his older brother wasn't joking. "Peeling off" didn't mean stripping him of his codename as a member; it was a verb.

"Because Shuichi Akai died in Japan, I thought that if Mary Akai were still alive, she might come to Japan as well. So I checked the surveillance videos of all domestic flights for nearly a month."

“I did find someone using the facial recognition system designed by Sindora.”

"About three weeks ago, Mary Akai, using the alias Sera Yuuki, came to Japan with a minor named Sera Masumi."

"Although there was no further news about Mary Akai, I did find out about Sera Masumi."

"Yes, their appearance together in Japan must mean they're connected. It's definitely a good starting point."

Gin nodded with satisfaction. Kusuda Rikudo was actually not much different from Tequila. If Vodka were to do this, he probably wouldn't have thought of it for at least two or three months.

I'll give him some more detective novels later.

Kusuda Rikumichi was delighted to have gained Gin's approval and left the base with great enthusiasm.

However, he did not realize that his every move was actually being watched by others.

Upon confirming that Kusuda Rikudo had informed Gin, Natsukawa immediately smiled and then sent a message to Frank.

The gardener can be asked to remove the reward.

The objective has been achieved; too many people cannot know about Mary Akai's affair.

After doing all that, he went to Gin's room.

"Big brother, what's Kusuda Rikumichi doing back here?"

Gin looked up at him but didn't say anything. The sea-blue gin swirled in the stemmed glass, and he took a sip every now and then.

"I have something to report."

"Speak." Gin was in a good mood and kicked a chair over for Tequila to sit down.

“I may have discovered something about what happened with Rum before.”

The fact that Tequila was speaking was good news, and Gin was even more delighted. He took a sip of Gin and nodded to indicate that he could speak.

"I saw a live broadcast of the police on TV a couple of days ago."

"I've seen this too. Is there a problem?" Gin interrupted, "You know that the Public Security Bureau doesn't just have us as an enemy and frequently holds press conferences. Do you think Rum's next move will be related to the Public Security Bureau?"

"That makes sense, but recently in Tokyo, apart from the few murders that happen every day, the only major events are the police live broadcasts."

"So, I still tried to investigate the situation."

"Guess what?" Xia Chuan said mysteriously.

"Say it directly."

Gin dislikes smart people selling lawsuits. He is clearly a smart person himself, but when even smarter people sell lawsuits, it always gives people a feeling of not being able to figure them out.

feeling bad.

"After all, it was a live broadcast project, and many people from the TV station went there, so I planned to contact the public security news department through Kiel."

"As it turned out, I couldn't find Kiel anymore."

"what?"

Where's Rum?

Gin was a bit confused, his mind a complete mess.

No, perhaps he understood a little, but he couldn't accept that Kiel and Rum were connected.

The other party wasn't very capable, but at least he was a codename member whom I had personally trained.

"Just listen to me slowly."

"After making inquiries from various sources, I finally obtained some important information from Nichiri TV."

This time, Natsukawa didn't keep them in suspense. After a pause, he continued, "Kiel has disappeared. And the day after she disappeared, the police came to Nichiri TV and demanded that they cover up the fact that Kiel hadn't come to work."

"Just pretend nothing happened."

"Big brother, you should know what this means, right?"

"You mean Kiel was arrested by the police, and that her arrest is related to Rum?"

Natsukawa always thought Gin was quite intelligent, and the reason he couldn't catch Conan was simply because of Conan's willpower.

"Yes, Rum has been staying home lately, and I don't know what he's up to. Binga is the kind of person who can't stay still, as you can tell from his kidnapping of Xia Chuan's daughter. It's not like him to have been hiding for so long."

"Wait a moment."

Gin interrupted, getting straight to the point, "So, in the police's live stream a few days ago, Binga and Kir were among the three people they mentioned?"

"Yes, I guess the third person is very likely to be Arak. I asked the European branch, and Arak hasn't been to the base there for at least a month. He's probably in Japan too."

"Just a few days ago, for reasons unknown, they infiltrated the police force and were all apprehended."

Gin fell silent.

He had already prepared how to deal with Rum.

For example, Shuichi Akai's death, that sum of money, and using Natsukawa to set up Rum.

Well, all of these are related to tequila.

But he's the eldest brother, and without his approval, none of the tequila methods can be used.

So, strictly speaking, he's the one who's truly capable.

Rum's move completely stumped him.

Binga and Arak were arrested, but what was most unexpected was that Kiel was also arrested.

This guy is actually an undercover agent.

Damn it! ! !

"Big brother, should we make a move against Rum?"

"While the boss hasn't shown up yet, the fact that the organization has lost three codenamed members is enough to get him shot."

"Moreover, without Binga and Arak, Rum probably has no one left. If he were to return to Europe, it might cause even more trouble."

A fierce glint flashed in Xia Chuan's eyes.

He preferred to get rid of Rum, a character who used his brain, as soon as possible.

Gin remained silent for a long time, then finally took a deep breath and said, "Let's ignore him for now."

Saying those words made him feel much more relaxed.

He struggled a little just now.

Rum is indeed annoying, and it would be best to get rid of him.

But for the boss, every codename member is important, especially Rum.

Unfortunately, I had no choice but to give up.

"Go ahead and get busy, Rum can't move."

"I see."

Leaving the base, Xia Chuan took out a cigarette and lit it.

Amidst the swirling smoke, my thoughts gradually calmed down. "It seems Rum does indeed play a very important role within the distillery. Gin probably wants to kill him, but he doesn't dare."

Didan High School.

Grade 2, Class B.

"Today, let me introduce a new classmate to everyone!"

On the stage, the teacher smiled and walked to the door, opening the sliding door.

"Why are there new classmates?"

Ran was speechless at Sonoko's lazy and listless look.

“I remember you were very happy when Shiliang came a few days ago.”

"Hehehe," Sonoko rolled her eyes.

I thought it would be a handsome guy, but it turned out to be a girl.

She's fine with girls, and she's not against pretty girls either; she actually enjoys making friends with girls like that.

Unexpectedly, Sera Masumi turned out to be a tomboy.

She looks like a boy, but is actually a woman.

She's described as a girl, but her personality is like a boy's.

The key point is that after spending a few days with her, she discovered that Sera Masumi had some similarities to Shinichi Kudo.

For example, they both call themselves detectives, both like to keep secrets, and both are self-righteous.

She disliked none of these three points.

"Sonoko, are you secretly talking bad about me?"

Sera Masumi, who was standing next to Sonoko and Ran, came over with a smile and asked.

Actually, she mainly wanted to get in touch with Xiaolan.

Ran's father is the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, and from the information she has gathered, Kogoro Mouri has a pretty good relationship with the Natsukawa family.

She also knew a little about Shuichi Akai's plan to join forces with Natsukawa.

So, she decided to help her older brother.

However, she has been unable to contact her older brother for the past two days, which is causing her some headaches.

I'm not worried, that's Shuichi Akai.

While the three were talking quietly, the new student had already walked up to the podium.

This is a boy who wears glasses and seems a bit shy.

"Hello everyone. My name is Hondo Eisuke."

Sonoko's face darkened again.

Although I complained to my best friend, I was still a little hopeful. But after seeing the person who came, my last bit of hope turned into speechlessness.

Hondo Eisuke has blue cat-like eyes, wears thin-rimmed round glasses, has dark hair, and a slight widow's peak.

Although he has delicate features and is very shy, he has canine teeth when he smiles, giving him a youthful appearance.

But this was not the type she wanted at all.

At the very least, he should have Ah-zhen's muscular physique, the face of a TV star, and the height of a basketball player, right?

She was so disappointed.

The teacher on the stage glanced around the class, saw Sonoko, and said with a smile to Hondou Eisuke next to her, "There's an empty seat behind Sonoko on her right. Why don't you sit there? Sera is also new here, so if you're closer together, you can get to know the school environment together."

Sera Masumi: "."

"Hi~"

Hondo Eisuke crossed his hands below his abdomen, walking over with the demureness of a young girl, taking small, hesitant steps.

"Hey, how can a boy do that?"

Sonoko couldn't help but mutter to herself, "He and Sera are such a perfect match, they could switch personalities like that."

"Sonoko, what are you talking about now?"

Xiao Lan was speechless; her best friend seemed to have no manners.

In the world of Detective Conan, class time can be ignored, and soon it's break time.

Sera Makoto is chatting enthusiastically with Sonoko and Ran. As a cunning detective with a MAX mind, she is completely undetected by the two of them because of her ulterior motives. In just a few days, she has become good friends with them.

The three of them were arranging a time.

It turns out that Sera Masumi's birthday is in two days, so she wants to invite Sonoko, Ran, and a few others to her house to have fun.

Following the principle of ensuring everyone has a share of the experience without appearing too deliberate, Sera Masumi turned her attention to the new student.

"Hey classmate, you must have heard everything just now, right? Want to come over to my house to play?"

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Hondo Eisuke paused for a moment, then put down the book in his hand.

Only then did she realize that all three of them were staring at her, and she immediately blushed.

"Okay!"

"Oh, don't be so reserved. You should learn from Shi Liang and be more manly."

Sera Masumi:.
I always felt that Sonoko was talking about herself when she said that, but I have no proof.

"I'm sorry, I just returned to China not long ago. I had been living abroad before, so I'm still a little unaccustomed to it."

"Hey, aren't you just like Sera?" Sonoko's eyes lit up, thinking the two of them were even more compatible. "Then you definitely have to play with us. Maybe you can even borrow some mysterious power from Ran!"

"Huh?"×3
None of the three understood.

"It's the mysterious power that brings cases to life!"

"You may not know this yet because you haven't known her for long. Ran always seems to run into cases whenever she goes out, and her father is none other than the famous detective Kogoro Mouri!"

"Yuanzi." Xiaolan was a little embarrassed and a little angry.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. The mysterious power definitely has nothing to do with you."

That's more like it.

Before Xiaolan could even feel happy, Yuanzi added a comment.

"The mysterious force must be related to Uncle Mori and Conan. Several times when you weren't around, they still encountered cases, didn't they?"

"Eh"

Sera Masumi's eyes lit up. She was just looking for an excuse, and this one had been delivered right to her doorstep!

Sonoko made a great assist!
"Is Ran's dad really that amazing?" Sera Masumi asked with great curiosity.

In fact, she already knew about it.

"In that case, you can come to my house to play sometime. I also want to become a famous detective. Maybe I can learn something from talking with Uncle Mori."

Ran originally didn't plan to agree, after all, her dad and Conan really did have that kind of trait.

But seeing Sera Masumi's expectant gaze, she couldn't refuse.

"All right."

Xiao Lan nodded slightly, "But I'm not sure if Dad will be available then, it depends on the situation."

Sera Masumi readily agreed.

It doesn't matter. If it doesn't work out in two days, I can just celebrate my birthday again in three days.

If that doesn't work, try again, and so on.

"that."

Hondo Eisuke only realized what was happening then and felt a little like refusing.

After all, she came to Japan to find her sister, whom she had suddenly lost contact with.

A few days ago, my sister called me, saying she had to carry out a mission for an organization, but I haven't been able to contact her since.

He was very worried, so he came to Japan.

When they went to Nichiuri TV to inquire, the station simply said that the older sister was away on a business trip and hadn't returned yet.

That's impossible! My sister clearly said that the mission would only take a day at most. So many days have passed, something must have gone wrong!
