Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 953 Despair Like Falling Off a Cliff
"Mr. Sakon."

"Mr. Sakon."

The Kondo family mansion has many maids, and there are also bodyguards patrolling at night. They all bow and greet Sakon Yusuke when they see him.

Something seems off.

Sakon Yusuke sensed that the way these people were looking at him was a little strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

They quickened their pace and entered Riai Kondo's private villa.

“Riai”.

"Riai~"

A smile gradually appeared on his face, but whether it was genuine or not, only Sakon Yusuke himself knew.

He tried his best to put a smile on his face.

"Yusuke, you're here?"

On the second-floor corridor, Kondo Riai appeared with a big smile and waved to the man in the lobby.

The man and she have already had a physical relationship; all that's missing is a marriage certificate.

She even handed over her shares to him in advance because she felt he was a reliable man.

These past few days, my father has had an accident, and the other person has been by my side the whole time. They are a trustworthy and reliable support.

Fortunately, it's all over now.

"Come up quickly, let's eat together."

"it is good."

Sakon Yusuke always felt that the other person's smile was a little too bright.

When I left during the day, the other person was still crying because they were worried about their father's condition. Now, they suddenly seem like a different person.

However, judging from the other party's behavior, there should be no problem in re-transferring the shares after the IRS investigation is over.

We need to find a way to assassinate President Kondo again on the dark web. Even if he doesn't die, we can't let him leave the hospital for three to five days.

He knew that President Kondo had never been satisfied with him. This time, he directly took the shares and even appeared at the shareholders' meeting, sitting in that chair. The other party would definitely not be polite when he found out.

"Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone," except for Rie Kondo, who probably doesn't know it yet.

The luxurious restaurant on the second floor had several maids and waitresses. Kondo Riai sat in a side seat, where she could see a dazzling array of delicious dishes, the aroma of which wafted outwards.

As he smelled the fragrance, a smile slowly appeared on Yusuke Sakon's face.

I am indeed a little hungry.

He strode into the restaurant, then, as if he had seen something terrifying, his smile froze, and intense fear appeared in his eyes.

It was as if a person standing on the ice suddenly broke and fell into the icy lake water.

He stood there stunned for several seconds, and even after Kondo Riai walked over and hugged his arm affectionately, he still didn't react.

"Yusuke, what are you doing? Hurry up and greet Father. Don't be rude."

That's right, the reason why Sakon Yusuke was stiff was because of the man in the main seat.

The man was dressed in a suit and tie, was in his fifties, and had a well-maintained appearance with few wrinkles.

His hair was styled back, a meticulously combed slicked-back look, giving him a refreshed and energetic appearance.

Uncle Kondo

Sakon Yusuke felt like a clown.

The other person's smile seemed to be mocking, and there was also a hint of pity.

What is there to pity? Pity yourself and Guan Xu for working hard for several days, only to have it all turn out like a joke.

President Kondo was not only unharmed, but he also appeared openly in front of him.

So, what about the IRS?

What is President Kondo planning to do?
Is Guan Xu Jiuyou being cleaned up?

This was all he could think of.

"Sit down."

President Kondo maintained his smile and made no mention of the shareholders' meeting, asking him to sit down.

"Doesn't he know?"

Sakon Yusuke pondered this in his heart.

impossible!
Having been the company president for decades, he must have trusted confidants. He definitely knows about today's shareholders' meeting, even down to how many times he laughed and the exact moment he sat down in that seat.

"Puff~"

Sakon Yusuke immediately knelt on the ground.

He hesitated for several seconds, but still felt that this was the right way.

"Uncle Kondo, I'm sorry!"

President Kondo's smile vanished. He clasped his hands together, looked down at him, and said nothing.

At first, he just felt that his daughter was not suitable for Yusuke Sakon, who was only after his family's business.

It wasn't until he met Xia Chuan that he learned that the sniping a few days ago and the assassination attempt that night were both related to the other party.

No need for Natsukawa to prove it; Sakon Yusuke has already demonstrated this through his actions these past few days.

If she dies, Riai will definitely be tormented to death by the other party.

Fortunately, Mr. Natsukawa was clever and came up with the idea of ​​using a search warrant to directly interrupt the share transfer.

Kondo Riai looked at her father, then at her husband, her mind a complete mess.

"Yusuke, what are you saying!?"

Kondo Riai, confused, reached out to pull him, only to find that Sakon Yusuke remained motionless, his head bowed, his shoulders trembling, as if he were crying.

From an angle unseen by others, Sakon Yusuke's eyes burned with fierce fire, his fists clenched tightly.

It's truly ironic to kneel before someone you've assassinated.

But doing this now might still offer a tiny chance.

He already had a physical relationship with Riai Kondo, and President Kondo was unaware that the two assassination attempts were related to him, which was his greatest advantage.

His only problem right now is the shareholders' meeting.

But this thing can be explained.

"Uncle Kondo, after your accident a few days ago, that guy Guan Xujiuyu contacted me."

"Oh, what does he want from you?" President Kondo asked calmly.

His tone was completely flat, even a little disdainful; it was unclear whether he looked down on the other person or on himself.

At least Sakon Yusuke felt that it wasn't referring to himself.

"He wants to take control of the company while you're away."

"Yes, I have heard about it. A shareholders' meeting was held today for this reason."

He knew it all along!
With his hands on the ground and his forehead pressed to the ground, Sakon Yusuke said urgently, "He contacted me and wants me to cooperate with him to take control of the company."

"Oh, so you let Riai give you his 15 percent stake. So you agreed to it? Right?"

President Kondo's voice turned cold and stern.

"This"

Sakon Yusuke's forehead was already covered in cold sweat, but he still didn't dare to look up.

"I don't know about Uncle Kondo's situation. He holds 14 percent of the shares and has joined forces with several other shareholders. His shareholding has already exceeded that of Rii."

When he looked up, his eyes were already brimming with tears, and he said with snot and tears streaming down his face, "If I hadn't joined them back then, Ri'ai would have been in danger."

"The assassination attempt on you that day was very likely their doing. In order to protect Li Ai, I had no choice but to have her hand over the shares to me first, so that I could take responsibility."

"I pretended to join them, and then suddenly switched sides at the shareholders' meeting today, all to buy them time!"

"Oh?" President Kondo sneered. If he hadn't known the truth beforehand, the other party's tearful appearance would have looked quite convincing.

Right now, all we can say is that the clown is just jumping around.

"Is that so? So Yusuke did all this for my safety."

Kondo Riai was deeply moved. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and she now felt that he was the hero in her heart.

The person who is best to me besides my father.

For his own safety, he actually offered himself up to feed the tiger.

“Father, Yusuke did nothing wrong. If it weren’t for him, I might have been in trouble too.”

President Kondo didn't want to talk.

His daughter was not only average-looking, but also not very bright.

If she weren't his only daughter, he would have slapped her long ago.

"Uncle Kondo, but don't worry, a special investigator from the National Tax Service named Natsukawa suddenly appeared today and stopped that guy Guan Xu."

"Eh."

He suddenly looked up, "Could this be Uncle Kondo's doing?"

Sakon Yusuke smiled with delight, knelt on the ground, and moved forward to the side of the main seat.

"Uncle Kondo is indeed the president. He must have made preparations in advance. He even contacted the National Tax Agency for help. This time, they won't succeed."

“However,” he said, a questioning glint in his eyes, “why not just take them down directly?”

Take them down?

President Kondo remained expressionless, but inwardly he sneered.

This wasn't my doing, and the ultimate goal wasn't Guan Xu, but you—my son-in-law, though not officially recognized.

However, Xia Chuan had given instructions on this matter, and it was absolutely crucial not to let the secret slip.

For someone like Natsukawa to take this so seriously, there must be some conspiracy behind Sakon Yusuke.

As someone involved in the game, or even a pawn, he dared not have any of his own selfish thoughts and resolutely carried out Xia Chuan's instructions.

"Yes, that's what I considered too. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been greeted by bodyguards, but by yakuza at the door."

Sakon Yusuke felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end.

"Hehehe."

He forced a smile and added, "But Guan Xu definitely won't let this go so easily. What should we do next?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Just take good care of Ri'ai."

President Kondo was furious, but the timing was not right, so he had to suppress his anger.

Kondo Riai's eyes were full of smiles.

With my two most important people by my side, both caring about me, I suddenly felt happy.

Sakon Yusuke was finally able to sit down.

He didn't enjoy the meal at all; he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he wished he could go home immediately.

He has suffered too many setbacks today; he cannot handle them all by himself.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved by hiring a dark web assassin. President Kondo says he's doing this for my daughter's sake, but who knows what he's really thinking?
No, I must contact Mr. immediately, otherwise my identity will be exposed, all my efforts over the years will be in vain, and my use of cargo ships to transport contraband will also be exposed.

After Sakon Yusuke left, President Kondo finally stopped smiling.

"Li'ai, stay at home for the next few days and don't go anywhere."

“Father, Guan Xu only holds 14% of the shares. If it really is him, with our 51% stake, it should be easy to kick him out, right?”

Kondo Riai looked at her father with concern.

The father, who seemed to be in good health, had a few strands of white hair on his head at some point. He must have been quite troubled lately.

Business competition has escalated to the point of assassination, something she could never have imagined before.

"It's not that simple; this is beyond your understanding."

President Kondo wanted to say something more, but in the end he could only sigh.

While at home, Natsukawa was actually monitoring the Kondo family's footage.

There are security cameras inside this restaurant.

President Kondo installed it himself.

Very cooperative.

However, he couldn't do anything about it if they didn't cooperate, since this was a problem he couldn't solve on his own. Only by relying on Xia Chuan could he protect his hard work and his daughter.

"President Kondo's cooperation is amazing."

"As for his daughter, I wonder what will happen to her after she finds out what Sakon Yusuke has done."

Joel was deeply moved.

She saw it; there was a light in the other person's eyes—a feeling of happiness.

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's her own fault for having poor judgment."

The voice was flat and indifferent, yet very childish.

That's right, it's Ai Haibara.

After confessing, Xia Chuan didn't hide anything from the other party. In fact, the surveillance footage was broadcast through the living room TV.

“Sakon Yusuke has no way out now. If he doesn’t want to give up Kondo Import & Export Company, he must come up with a new plan.”

Ai Haibara stroked her chin and looked up at Natsukawa: "Is this person really a confidant of Karasuma Renya?"

"Having been in the organization for so many years, I really didn't know that someone could be by Karasuma Renya's side. I thought there was at most one person responsible for taking care of him."

Ai Haibara really didn't expect that.

After all, over the past ten years, people in the organization have only ever referred to each other as "boss," and no one knows the name Karasuma Renya.

Clearly, the level of secrecy is incredibly high!

Now suddenly, twelve confidants have appeared.

It must be said that Xia Chuan's methods are indeed impressive; he was able to find clues about the other party.

"There definitely are, but whether there are really twelve people is unclear."

Xia Chuan shook his head, but he didn't think that twelve people would be able to maintain a saturated situation.

Perhaps there were this many at the beginning, but there probably aren't now, otherwise everyone would be able to find Karasuma Renya.

"Ding~"

My phone rang; it was an email from Frank.

[Sakon Yusuke's phone just sent an encrypted email. Since there was no call, its location cannot be determined.]

Xia Chuan shook his head regretfully, but his groundwork had still worked.

This email is probably related to Karasuma Renya.

"how's it going?"

Ai Haibara and Joel both stuck their heads over.

Xia Chuan shook his head helplessly: "I can't track it based on an email. But if it's a phone call, even if it's only four or five seconds long, I can find a way."

There's nothing we can do about it; I suspect Sakon Yusuke has already considered this and is being very cautious.

However, since they've already made contact, they'll probably meet up eventually. As long as they wait patiently and receive a text message reply, Xia Chuan will find a way to get the other person's phone to check it.

However, a whole night passed while they waited.

Ai Haibara went to bed early because of school, and Joel also felt bored halfway through the day and went back to his room.

Xia Chuan sat alone in the living room, browsing messages on the dark web while waiting.

As dawn broke, sunlight streamed into the room through the gauze curtains.

Bond, carrying his rice bowl, found Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan stood up from the sofa.

After sitting on the sofa for a long time, the sofa struggled to return to its original state.

"Let's eat canned food for the next few days. I heard Anya and the others are going to the Mihua Forest to catch unicorns in a couple of days. You'll have to help them out then."

Bond nodded humanely, then began to eat heartily.
