Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 936 Mass Coma Incident
Sera Masumi was speechless when she saw the removed bugging device.

Seeing Natsukawa crush the bugging device and, along with Kogoro Mouri, inspect the room as if it were his own, he almost fainted.

The original plan was to find a way to help her second brother find out who installed the bugging device in the house after everyone left. Now that she's done this, those people will definitely have found out.

"found it!"

"Same here."

Subaru Okiya also offered his help in a seemingly professional manner.

Within ten minutes, all five bugging devices were found and crushed.

As the bugging devices were crushed one by one, Sera Masumi wasn't the only one whose face turned pale; Hondou Eisuke did too.

These listening devices were definitely the work of the brewery. Now that they have all been removed, what if Kusuda Rikudo thinks he has something to do with them?
"I'm going to the restroom."

Finding an opportunity, Hondo Eisuke secretly went to the restroom.

Sure enough, as soon as I turned on my phone, I saw several missed calls.

He replied.

"What happened? Why was the bugging device discovered?"

Kusuda Rikudo had some doubts.

Suspecting that Hondo Eisuke had embezzled funds and secretly told others about the bugging device.

After all, he only installed a listening device, not a surveillance camera, so he couldn't know what Hondo Eisuke was up to.

"Damn it, one of the kids just happened to find the bug under the table. Isn't your bugging too sloppy? How could you just stick it directly to the back of the table?"

"."

Kusuda Rikumichi was speechless; who could have known that a child would come?

The table was so low that no normal person would stick their head under it.

"What's going on now?"

Kusuda Rikudo said fiercely, "Listen to me carefully. The drug we fed you yesterday was a special drug carefully developed by our organization. There is no antidote available outside. Even if we wanted to find an antidote, do you think 24 hours would be enough?"

"Besides, you don't have 24 hours right now."

Kusuda Rikumichi's threat was very effective; Hondo Eisuke certainly didn't want to die so easily.

Perhaps, as the other party said yesterday, he should join the Black Organization and then search for the secret behind his sister's disappearance.

Judging from Kusuda Rikudo's situation, even if he is not a codenamed member, he should be a very important peripheral member.

“I know. I’ll put the drug you gave me into their food later. Once it takes effect, you can make your move.”

"Whether the bugging device is discovered or not, as long as I am not discovered, the plan is fine."

Hondo Eisuke's confidence drew nods of approval from Kusuda Rikudo.

"However, we still need to be careful of that man named Xia Chuan."

"You can ignore others, even Kogoro Mouri, but you absolutely cannot attract Natsukawa's attention."

"him?"

Hondo Eisuke knew very little about Natsukawa; he could only say he had heard the name.

It was still in the newspaper.

So, he could only nod, but didn't take it to heart.

No matter who it is, it's impossible for them to discover that their identity is problematic.

After leaving the bathroom, the living room remained as somber as before.

Kogoro Mouri wanted to call the police, but was stopped by Natsukawa and Subaru Okiya.

“They should already know we’ve found the bugging device. Calling the police would be too much of a commotion. We can investigate ourselves.”

"Yes."

Xia Chuan nodded. He was a little surprised when he first saw Okiya Subaru. Judging from his current behavior, he must have just found out that his sister was being targeted.

He didn't want the police to know, most likely because the reason was related to the public security bureau.

As for Xia Chuan himself, he did not want to give a statement, since the opponent was the winery and he did not want his police friend to get hurt as a result.

"Yes, yes, let's check it ourselves."

Seeing that even the homeowner, Sera Masumi, said the same thing, Kogoro Mouri had no choice but to nod and say, "Whatever, Inspector Megure and the others are here anyway to see me solve the case."

"."

Uncle Mori really knows how to flatter himself.

Conan smacked his lips and said in a cute tone, "We can check the surveillance footage first. Sera-neechan just moved in not long ago, so the surveillance footage should still be there."

"Then Sera and I will go check the surveillance footage. Mr. Natsukawa and Mr. Mori are more experienced; let's see if we can find any traces of their surveillance. What do you think?"

"Ah?"

Conan was taken aback. Didn't Subaru Okiya want to get close to Natsukawa? Why wasn't he with Natsukawa?
Noticing his confusion, Subaru Okiya explained in a low voice, "Direct contact would be too obvious. Let's be friends first."

Is that so?

Conan felt something was off, but he didn't say anything.

"Let's go, Sera-kun." Subaru Okiya patted Sera Masumi's head.

Sera Masumi didn't react at all and stood there stunned until the other person walked to the door and called her, which brought her out of her daze.

"you?"

On her way downstairs, Sera Masumi hesitated.

Doubts and confusion lingered in my mind.

The feeling of the other person touching my hair just now seemed to evoke a familiar warmth and emotion.

Subaru Okiya pushed up his glasses, a slight smile curving his lips.

Let's turn our attention back to the room.

Kogoro Mouri pulled back a corner of the curtain to check the situation downstairs at the apartment building.

"It seems someone is indeed watching us; it looks like we've been discovered."

Xia Chuan also glanced outside.

Although there were no suspicious passersby nearby, a black van had been parked for quite some time on the roadside not far away.

"Yes, it should be that van. If we go down, we might be spotted. How about we get Joel over here? Didn't you say she was helping out at the traffic department today? That would be a good excuse to get close under the guise of issuing parking tickets."

Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin. "This should be the most suitable method."

"I'm afraid not."

Xia Chuan retorted, "The car is most likely related to the eavesdropper, but we can't rule out the possibility that someone has already entered the apartment and is hiding in one of the rooms."

"If we do that, we'll just alert them."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Kogoro Mouri frowned.

According to Xia Chuan's statement, isn't that just ignoring everything?
What if they just leave later?
“Searching apartment by apartment is definitely not going to work, but they are definitely monitoring more than one person, and they must have bought takeout for lunch.”

“In this way, we can observe whether there are any suspicious individuals carrying a lot of fast food into the apartment building. Uncle Natsukawa, Uncle Kogoro, am I right?”

Xia Chuan:.
He's starting to brag again, this guy.

"Chong-"

Kogoro Mouri's fist landed, leaving a round bump on Conan's head.

"Why are you interrupting when adults are talking? Do you think we can't think of what you're thinking?"

The famous detective muttered under his breath, "Xiao Lan, keep an eye on this brat, don't let him cause any trouble."

Kogoro Mouri suspected that if Ran didn't keep an eye on Conan, he would run out the door when the adults weren't looking.

Indeed, that's exactly what Conan was thinking at that moment.

If someone is suspicious, he is confident that he can detect something amiss even if the other person is about to go out to buy something.

"Conan, don't move around!"

"Okay~ I'm going to the bathroom." Conan said in a sweet voice and ran briskly towards the bathroom.

Behind the crowd, Hondo Eisuke's eyes gleamed with a certain light.

He silently walked into the kitchen, took out the drinks he had bought that morning, and started pouring them.

"Ah! Uncle Mori, look! Conan is really going to run out."

Anya's loud, boisterous voice boomed through the living room. It was so loud that it could probably be heard even outside the door.

All eyes were on the doorway, where Conan had just hooked the doorknob on tiptoe.

After the sound, he turned around stiffly, still in that position, forcing a smile. "Well, I just wanted to go out and get some fresh air."

Do you think I would believe that?

Kogoro Mouri stood with his hands on his hips, looking down at the outstanding member of the Detective Boys with a blank expression. "If I said I just wanted to pat your head, would you believe me?"

A devilish smile appeared on Kogoro Mouri's face.

"Do not--"

"Duang~"

In less than three minutes, Conan transformed once again into a hot-blooded young man with symmetrical horns on his head.

"Oh my, Conan, your head shape is so symmetrical. Ayumi will definitely like it. I'll save a picture for you."

"Click——"

Conan didn't want to argue, so he walked over to Natsukawa and looked at him with pitiful eyes: "Natsukawa-nii, can't you let Anya stay away from me?"

"You're just a little kid now, it's too dangerous for you to go out and look for people."

Damn it!
I'm doing this so I can grow bigger sooner.

"Um, everyone must be a little tired, how about having a drink first?"

Hondo Eisuke put down the tray and distributed drinks to everyone: "This is fresh orange juice that I just bought this morning. It tastes very good. Drinking something sweet can improve your mental activity."

Orange juice?

Kogoro Mouri looked away, somewhat disappointed.

If only it were beer, it would be better than sweet orange juice; beer is more likely to open up your mind.

It would be even better if he could get drunk, then he could directly enter the state of sleeping Kogoro.

"Dad, this cup is for you."

Xiaolan knew exactly what her father was thinking, but since they were already guests, she shouldn't ask for too much.

Moreover, she didn't want her father to drink, as drinking could lead to mistakes, especially given the current situation.

"Then thank you very much, classmate Bentang."

Xia Chuan picked up the orange juice.

"Father."

Anya tugged at Xia Chuan's sleeve. "Ania wants to wash her hands, but she can't reach them. She wants her father to hold her."

"it is good."

When I got to the bathroom, the door was closed.

"Father, Father, that drink has been spiked."

Anya had already learned from Hondo Eisuke's thoughts that the orange juice had been laced with a sedative, and warned him.

"I can smell it, it's not a big problem."

Xia Chuan certainly noticed.

Hondo Eisuke clearly lacked experience and used a very large dose of the drug. Someone like him, who has been trained in drug use, could easily smell something was wrong.

Moreover, he himself knew that Hondo Eisuke had been arrested by Kusuda Rikudo and that there must be some problem with his release.

That's why he had Anya find the bugging device.

I just wanted to see how Kusuda Rikumichi planned to respond.

He leaked information about Akai Mary to get Karasuma Renya to show up; it wouldn't be fun if Sera Masumi was caught too early.

The more difficult it is to obtain bait, the more convincing it becomes.

"Father, shall we drink some more?"

"Drink it, why wouldn't I drink it? I'm drinking orange juice!"

Xia Chuan patted Anya's head. "But Anya, you shouldn't drink it."

When the door opened again, Anya was lying in Xia Chuan's arms.

"Ania seems a little tired; she must have gone to bed too late last night."

"It's good that she's asleep," Sonoko said softly.

Compared to Conan, Anya wasn't much better; she was much quieter when she was asleep.

"Then I'll take her to Sera's room to sleep."

Ran drank the orange juice in one gulp, took Anya from Natsukawa, and delivered it to Sera Masumi's room.

"Hey, Xia Chuan-ge, why don't you have a drink too? They've all had some."

Hondo Eisuke scratched his head, unable to find an excuse, and just made up a random statement.

Inside the room, only Xia Chuan hadn't drunk his orange juice yet; everyone else had already finished.

"no problem."

Xia Chuan, unsuspecting, picked up the orange juice and drank it in one gulp.

Then, the group took turns looking down through the window, waiting for someone destined to buy a bento box.

About ten minutes later, Sonoko felt a little sleepy and yawned. "Strange, why do my eyelids suddenly feel a bit heavy?"

"Sonoko-neechan probably went out to play last night and didn't sleep well, right?" Conan muttered.

"Kid, why do you talk so much nonsense?"

Sonoko seemed to have her thoughts exposed, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Never mind, I'll rest for a while."

She simply leaned back on the sofa and dozed off.

One by one, Ran, Kogoro Mouri, and even Conan himself felt their eyelids getting heavy.

"Strange, what's going on?"

Conan felt dizzy and his thinking began to sluggish.

"Could it be because Subaru Okiya called me to his house in the middle of the night?"

Conan scratched his head, then turned around and found that Ran and Uncle Kogoro had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Not right.

This is so wrong.

Anya suddenly felt sleepy, and Sonoko followed suit. One or two is fine, but if it keeps increasing, and even he himself is experiencing the same thing, then there's a problem.

Sonoko and we didn't come together, so the same thing shouldn't happen to her.

So the problem arose after they arrived at Sera Masumi's house.

After arriving here, it seems we haven't eaten anything yet.

If there is any, it would be the orange juice prepared by Hondo Eisuke, right?

Did they put a drug in the orange juice to induce unconsciousness?
While he was thinking, he noticed that Hondo Eisuke also yawned, and then he actually fainted on the spot.

???

Am I wrong?
Hondo Eisuke's unconsciousness made Conan's already somewhat confused head feel even heavier.

If the coma is related to Hondo Eisuke, then why did he fall into a coma himself?

"Xia Chuan-ge, are you feeling unwell?"

Conan asked Natsukawa the question he was wondering about.

Because he was distracted, he didn't even realize that so many people falling into a coma must have attracted Xia Chuan's attention.

"What's wrong?"

Just then, it was Xia Chuan's turn to observe the situation outside, and upon hearing this, he turned around.

Upon seeing Conan, Natsukawa suddenly yawned.

"No way, did Xia Chuan get infected too?"
