Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 958 Amuro Tooru's Interference
"Then you can go with Mr. Mori, brother."

Yokomizo Sango nodded. Compared to his younger brother, he did indeed prefer to be with Kogoro Mouri.

After all, I'm his fan.

And he also helped me a lot.

"I see."

Inspector Megure's eyes lit up. "So that's why Natsukawa asked me to invite the deceased's relatives over beforehand. I see."

Xia Chuan called him last night, acting all mysterious, and now we finally know why.

Several family members were placed in the Metropolitan Police Department's lounge, which has a special floor for receiving high-ranking suspects or their families.

The layout here is similar to a hotel, but there are not many rooms. Most of them are semi-open living rooms, separated only by glass doors.

Upon seeing Inspector Megure lead his men in, one of them immediately stood up. "Inspector Megure, we've been waiting for over an hour. What's the matter?"

The speaker was the younger brother of the first victim, Jinno Denmei. He was a typical office worker who, while hoping to catch his brother's killer as soon as possible, also hoped that the police would not bother him.

If he takes a morning off, he'll waste a whole day's wages.

The others also turned to ask for advice.

Instead of answering the questions, Inspector Megure turned around and explained, "There are only four people. Masaaki Okakura has no relatives, and Kazuki Ryuzaki, who just died, has no family and has always been a loner."

"Okay."

Xia Chuan waved his hand dismissively: "I originally thought we wouldn't find many, but I didn't expect there to be four more. As long as they know the deceased well enough, it's highly likely to be feasible."

Inspector Megure stepped forward and explained the situation, and the family members finally understood the reason.

To save time, Xia Chuan immediately had the group begin to share their understanding of the deceased.

Although this would be quick, it still takes time and thought to recount one person's experience to another.

"Xia Chuan-ge, where are you going?"

The door to the monitoring room opened, and Xia Chuan walked out. Just as he was about to close the door, he noticed that Conan had followed him out as well.

The four people continued their storytelling when Natsukawa suddenly walked out, and Conan, sensing the danger, followed.

However, his limping appearance was really funny.

He leaned against the door, squeezing himself completely through the gap. He glanced behind him to make sure no one was following him before saying, "I saw Kazami Yuya just now. Did he contact you?"

Xia Chuan glanced at his phone before coming out; it wasn't Conan's sensitive skin.

"No." Xia Chuan pointed to his watch: "It's time to go home and cook dinner."

"."

Conan was speechless and choked with emotion.

It was indeed noon.

"Ai and Anya are both at home. Joel is on duty today assessing the physical fitness of the police officers, and he hasn't had a chance all day."

"Ok."

“Watch the surveillance footage carefully and see if there’s anything related to Tanabata in Kyoto. If you really can’t find any common ground, ask them what the deceased was doing in Kyoto or Tokyo on Tanabata in recent years.”

This was the explanation that Xia Chuan had prepared long ago.

For some reason, the deceased's family members were completely unaware of the fire.

Xia Chuan could only assume that these deceased people felt a slight sense of indebtedness or apology to Honjo Nanako, but were unwilling to bring it up.

But it doesn't matter, the connection between them can be easily found through the breakthrough point of Qixi Jing.

"Didn't Natsukawa already know?"

Looking at Natsukawa's retreating figure, Conan couldn't help but ask.

However, the tall figure did not falter and slowly walked away.

Beikacho 5-chome, Poirot Cafe.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Natsukawa!"

Xia Benzi greeted him with a smile.

Her smile was very sweet, not the kind of formulaic smile you give to guests, but very approachable. "Good afternoon."

Xia Chuan glanced at it and asked, "Where's Amuro?"

"Eh, Mr. Natsukawa, are you here to see Amuro?"

Xia Benzi was clearly a little confused, because in her mind, the two of them had only met once or twice.

Even if we meet again, it will probably just be a normal coffee order.

"coming."

A leg dressed in suit trousers stretched out from the warehouse door, hooking onto the door frame and opening the door completely.

Amuro Tooru came out carrying a stack of cardboard boxes, which were labeled as containing imported coffee beans.

He easily carried the suitcase to the front desk, put it down, and then looked at Xia Chuan: "Mr. Xia Chuan, please have a seat. I'll make you a cup of coffee."

"it is good."

There weren't many people in the coffee shop at noon today, so the wait wasn't long.

"Here you go, your dark-roasted pure Americano, no sugar, no milk."

"Thank you."

Taking off his apron, Amuro Tooru straightened his face slightly and sat down opposite him.

"You came here because of Okakura Masaaki, right?" Amuro Tooru rested his hands on the edge of the table, leaned forward, and stared into Natsukawa's eyes.

"Correct."

This coffee is interesting.

Xia Chuan answered while looking down at his coffee.

Amuro Tooru is getting to know him better and better. This kind of coffee, paired with a soda cracker, is a way he's been enjoying drinking it lately.

Looks like you've been paying a lot of attention to yourself!

"There's been no news from Gin, so why are you paying attention to Masaaki Okakura?"

"And what about you?" Amuro Tooru asked with a half-smile.

"I pay attention to him because he is related to Karasuma Renya."

Xia Chuan was very direct; at this point, there was no need to hide any information.

Since Ai Haibara has already confessed, it's not a big deal if Tooru Amuro reveals a little more.

"Me too." Amuro Tooru smiled, finally hearing something he wanted to hear.

“Last night, after Sera Masumi was arrested, Karasuma Renya finally showed up.”

Xia Chuan's hand trembled, and he almost spilled his coffee.

Having lived in this world for so many years, it would be a lie to say I wasn't excited to finally hear the news of Karasuma Renya's appearance.

But then again, if Amuro Tooru knows, why shouldn't Tequila know?

"Have you met him?"

“No.” Amuro Tooru shook his head slightly. “He contacted me last night. It was that electronic voice again, but his tone was obviously a little anxious.”

"Is it because of Sera Masumi?"

Xia Chuan nodded to himself: "He should already know that Akai Mary has shrunk. The drug that he worked so hard for so long might really make people shrink. Anyone would be incredibly excited."

"Maybe, perhaps his difficult period has passed?" Amuro Tooru leaned closer mysteriously. "If even Tequila doesn't know, could there be a problem with his identity?"

Xia Chuan frowned slightly and began to review the situation.

After a long pause, he shook his head. "It shouldn't be like this. Tequila's way of doing things has always been to the benefit of the distillery. They basically only provide me with information. Gin shouldn't have found out."

Amuro Tooru didn't ask any further questions, and shrugged meaningfully.

"Rum is nowhere to be found, and the person he picked up at the airport is also missing. Do you think that mysterious person could be Karasuma Renya?"

(While reviewing M13, I discovered that Yuya Kazami was also present at the Metropolitan Police Department's inter-regional joint meeting. He was in the back left of the meeting room, near the back door. Those interested can take a look.)
