Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 948 Emotional Espionage
"Good afternoon, Mr. Kondo. I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

The man spoke calmly with a smile on his face, making it impossible for anyone to feel any aversion towards him.

"My name is Xia Chuan, a special investigator for the State Taxation Administration."

"Yes, my secretary just said that Mr. Xia Chuan came to see me. Is there anything I can help him with?"

Kondo, being a seasoned businessman, wore a professional fake smile and gestured for Natsukawa to sit on the reception sofa, where he would personally demonstrate the Japanese tea ceremony.

"The tea ceremony is supposed to be elegant and refined, which is just right to calm Kondo down any unusual feelings he might have next."

Kondo Hatsuichiro paused in his tea-pouring, his smile vanishing. "What is it?"

“Mr. Kondo, there’s no need to worry. My visit this time is not related to Kondo Import & Export Company. Perhaps there is some connection, but I think you are unaware of it.”

Upon hearing this, Kondo Hatsuichiro's heart sank even further.

It's strange that I suddenly comforted myself.

What follows seems to be a big blow to myself.

"Sakon Yusuke, you should know this person, right?"

"Him?" Kondo Hatsuichiro was clearly taken aback, recalling the public relations manager who was very kind to his daughter and had a strong drive for success.

The only next generation in the Kondo family is their daughter, Kondo Riai, so they definitely need to find a son-in-law who can inherit the family business. Sakon Yusuke is their daughter's boyfriend, and his abilities are just what they need to be satisfied with.

Now, someone suddenly contacted him and mentioned this person, which made him think of some unpleasant things.

Marriage fraud, financial fraud.

The moment these two thoughts arose, his face darkened.

"After investigation, we suspect that Sakon Yusuke may have murder on his hands, and that he may also be using the Kondo family's import and export business to trade contraband."

Xia Chuan did not explain in detail what the contraband was.

In reality, there was no such thing; he was just saying it casually.

The purpose was to make Kondo Hatsuichiro realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Impossible. I know Zuo Jin very well. He doesn't have the guts."

"and"

Before Kondo Hatsuichiro could finish speaking, Natsukawa interrupted, "Besides, he's already valued by you, so he shouldn't have such thoughts and do these thankless things. Anyway, he can get a lot of wealth after marrying Kondo Riai."

"Right?"

Even the president of a large company wouldn't look too good if someone told him about something like that.

But he suppressed his anger; the IRS had been acting strangely lately, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

He nodded.

"Have you investigated Sakon Yusuke's background?"

"of course."

"An orphan, isn't he?"

"Hmm?" Kondo Hatsuichiro frowned and remained silent.

"After a thorough investigation, we discovered that his identity was fake. The so-called director of the orphanage only said that because he received a large donation from him."

"If you investigate his previous schools and work experience now, you'll find that all of these people have disappeared."

Natsukawa wasn't lying about this. Frank investigated Sakon Yusuke's background and found nothing. The only person they could find, the orphanage director, was actually dead.

The welfare home's account received an additional sum of 300 million yuan.

The money arrived three years ago, but the source of the funds cannot be found.

Therefore, Natsukawa speculated that it was a special arrangement by Karasuma Renya.

The fact that he would spend so much money on an identity is enough to prove Sakon Yusuke's importance.

Judging from the fact that Baileys was previously dispatched to the Hiromoto family, it's not hard to guess.

Karasuma Renya needs new sources of funding, such as Kondo Import & Export Company.

It can provide support for the organization's or one's own personal expenses, and also control import and export channels, making things much more convenient.

Kondo Hatsuichiro didn't say anything; he somewhat believed Natsukawa's words.

After all, he should be able to find out the truth about this with a thorough investigation; the other party has no reason to deceive him.

"Mr. Natsukawa, what should we do?"

Kondo Hatsuichiro's greatest concerns are his daughter's future happiness and the succession of the family business.

He stood up and bowed to Natsukawa. "Mr. Natsukawa, you must have come here for Sakon Yusuke. Please feel free to say anything. I promise to cooperate without hesitation."

That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

A smile appeared on Xia Chuan's face, and he nodded calmly: "Put some pressure on Zuo Jinxi. I don't think he can plan such a big scam by himself."

"I understand."

With his years of experience in the business world, Kondo Hatsuichiro immediately grasped the profound meaning behind those words.

Luring the snake out of its hole is nothing more than this.

The Kondo family.

Sakon Yusuke and Kondo Riai are having lunch.

Normally, Sakon Yusuke would come over to dine with us.

Kondo Riai is well protected by Kondo Hatsuichiro, and has a pure heart, but she does have a bit of a spoiled princess temperament.

But for Sakon Yusuke, this kind of woman is the easiest to please.

"Rie, in a few days it will be our 100-day anniversary. Come with me to Hokkaido then, I have a surprise for you."

With a generous smile, Sakon Yusuke gently wiped the food residue from his girlfriend's mouth.

"Hokkaido?" Kondo Riai's eyes lit up with joy.

Sakon Yusuke understands her very well. He has brought her a lot of joy these past few months, especially since her parents have been unable to spend time with her.

Having watched so many romance dramas, isn't this the kind of love she's most satisfied with?

A young girl's heart is always filled with poetry; she never imagined that the man who was so adoring of her was actually harboring ulterior motives.

Sakon Yusuke hugged Kondo Riai from behind and whispered in her ear, making the girl giggle.

The servants lowered their heads, not daring to look.

From an angle unseen by Kondo Riai, Sakon Yusuke's gaze held not so-called love, but a mocking smugness.

Compared to Ghanaia, Riai Kondo's appearance can only be described as mediocre.

How could he possibly like someone like that? Everything he does is just to achieve his boss's goals.

Including Ghana, who was actually with the other party in the first place only to obtain their employee ID card in order to infiltrate the Institute of Biotechnology and steal the research data and scientific materials they wanted.

Some time ago, my husband told me that he no longer needed to collect biochemical materials and could focus on winning over Rii Kondo.

This time, they intend to take control of Kondo Import & Export Company and make it the organization's funding center.

At that time, we can also use the import and export merchant ships of Kondo Import and Export Company to transport some prohibited items.

For example, firearms, spare parts for military supplies, etc.

I heard there's something very important to transport, but the master didn't tell me exactly what it was, only that we should take down the Kondo family first.

The day he becomes the adopted son-in-law of the Kondo family will be the day Kondo Hatsuichiro dies.

When he dies, he can inherit the entire company.

"Wait a minute, it seems my father-in-law is calling." Sakon Yusuke glanced at his phone and said with a smile.

"Ugh, I haven't even said I want to marry you yet. If you keep acting like this, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

The two flirted and teased each other without regard for the occasion, and the servants could only lower their heads and remain silent.

They all knew this person was the future new master of the Kondo family, and they wouldn't want to offend him.

Sakon Yusuke said a few more sweet words before leaving the room.

As soon as he stepped outside, a cold smile crept onto his lips.

Disgusting. Once Kondo Hatsuichiro dies, Kondo Riai will die too. A woman of such ordinary looks is not good enough for me.

"Hello, Uncle Chu Yilang, good afternoon."

As soon as he answered the phone, his expression changed completely, becoming all sycophantic.

"Ah."

As if something was said on the phone, Sakon Yusuke's smile gradually faded.

After the call ended, Sakon Yusuke gripped his phone tightly, his palms turning white.

"Damn it, has it attracted the attention of the Kondo family again?"

Kondo Hatsuichiro called about the police investigation into him.

Kondo Hatsuichiro eventually learned of Ganacia's death.

In the afternoon, the two, who might become father-in-law and son-in-law, met at a private club.

Sakon Yusuke looked haggard and was filled with anxiety. The moment he saw his future father-in-law, he immediately knelt on the ground.

“Uncle Chu Yilang, Ri Ai and I are truly in love. If you know about Ganasia, you should have heard about it. I have already decided to break off contact with her.”

As a qualified emotional spy, he would do anything, no matter how immoral, as long as it could achieve his goal.

Kondo Hatsuichiro's face darkened. "If I don't have any friends in the Metropolitan Police Department, are you planning to keep that from me?"

"If Riai knew that you already have a girlfriend, she would be heartbroken."

There is a play!

From the other person's tone, Sakon Yusuke could tell that the other person didn't seem to intend to delve into the matter further, but simply wanted to express their own stance.

"Uncle Chu Yilang, please rest assured. I was prepared to come clean. Although I regret her death, I will never have any lingering feelings for her."

"I am loyal to Li Ai."

"I hope what you're saying is true." Kondo Hatsuichiro sneered inwardly, but he still had to play his part: "Our Kondo family doesn't lack sons-in-law; we have plenty of outstanding talents who want to become sons-in-law of the Kondo family."

"The reason I didn't tell Rii was just to give you a chance."

Kondo Hatsuichiro, well-versed in negotiation, paused here, picked up his teacup, drank it all, then began brewing more tea, and said no more.

Sakon Yusuke's heart began to race. He was a competent spy, but compared to an old man who had been in the business world for decades, he was still somewhat lacking.

He swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Please tell me."

Kondo Hatsuichiro was very satisfied with Sakon Yusuke's attitude.

This proves that his ups and downs over the years still have a certain deterrent effect.

He pretended to ponder, but in reality, he already had a plan in mind.

Xia Chuan has already explained the solution to him.

"I will have the public relations department remove you from your position first. Next, you should handle the Ghanaian matter properly. If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer, then..."

"Humph!"

"I I know."

Sakon Yusuke's hands, clenched tightly under the table, veins bulging, still displayed humility:

"I will handle this matter properly, and it will not affect my relationship with Riai."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Please don't tell Rii about this, Mr. Chuichiro. I'm worried she'll be upset."

"After all, I love her so much that I would give up everything for her."

"Please!" Sakon Yusuke bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

Kondo Hatsuichiro didn't respond, just stared at him until Sakon Yusuke felt a backache, then said, "Go, take care of the aftermath, and show me your resolve, otherwise this isn't over."

Sakon Yusuke slowly left the room.

After everyone left, Xia Chuan pushed open another door and came in.

He had heard everything that had just happened, and Kondo Hatsuichiro's behavior should not have aroused any suspicion from the other party.

No wonder he's a seasoned veteran in the business world.

Perhaps the reason my identity is so intimidating is because the IRS has been so active this year, making them feel that it's better to avoid trouble.

One of the reasons is related to Riai Kondo.

This old father truly loved his daughter deeply.

After all, there aren't many company presidents at this age who don't blame their wives or have had extramarital affairs, even if they don't have any male heirs in the family.

"I've done what you said."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Kondo."

Xia Chuan took out a USB drive and handed it to the other party, "This is evidence of his smuggling of military supplies and contraband through your cargo ship during this period. There is only one copy."

In reality, all of these items were forgeries by Xia Chuan.

Sakon Yusuke did indeed smuggle contraband, but Natsukawa couldn't obtain any information that could serve as evidence in a short period of time.

"There may be other things that Mr. Kondo needs to cooperate with, and I will come to you then."

"Hopefully, there's no longer any need for me."

Kondo Hatsuichiro rubbed his temples with a wry smile, lamenting that his daughter had been deceived by something like this.

If they find out the truth later, they will definitely be heartbroken and cry.

"By the way, if possible, I hope you can secretly arrest Sakon Yusuke. I will announce to the public that he died in a car accident."

Xia Chuan had no objection to this; on the contrary, he was pleased.

This made things easier for Frank.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

After leaving the club, Sakon Yusuke vented his emotions in a street park.

He picked up a branch from the ground and whipped it hard against the vegetation.

"Damn, damn!"

"It should have already succeeded!"

Everything is going wrong.

Kondo's attitude made him uneasy, and Kogoro Mouri's investigation also made him somewhat worried.

Logically, there shouldn't have been any surprises regarding the Ghana incident, but after Natsukawa appeared and said a few words, it seemed to pique Kogoro Mouri's interest in investigating.

He doesn't have much time left now.

"No, the mission cannot fail."

"But I can't get in touch with you right now, and I obviously can't handle this on my own."

Sakon Yusuke gasped for breath, finally calming himself down.

"It looks like we'll have to use that method. Let's contact the organization for help first, and if that doesn't work, we'll consider other options."

Unlike Jun Makino, he also had contact with the brewery.

Karasuma Renya even gave him the authority to contact the Japanese branch in special circumstances and ask the brewery branch to help him with something.

Of course, you are not allowed to reveal your identity when you contact someone, even if the other party is Gin or was once a close confidant of the Master!

It must be said that Karasuma Renya did a good job in dividing his power, which is why he was able to remain hidden for decades without being discovered.

Sakon Yusuke tore off his suit tie, ripped off the cone-shaped end, and pulled out a strange chip.

"Kondo Hatsuichiro, Mori Kogoro, since things have come to this point, I have no other choice."

"This is the task that the master values ​​most; we absolutely cannot fail!"

A madman's sneer appeared on his face, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with ruthless killing intent.
