Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 961 The Neighbors of Shindokan

Kusuda Rikumichi carefully checked the surroundings.

They received information from undercover police officers that revealed connections between several of the deceased.

Masaaki Okakura's death appears to have been caused by a fire two years prior.

Shindo-kyō, who lived in this apartment building, was very likely the last person to die.

"Those idiots in the police force are focusing all their attention on the killer, but finding the killer is not that easy."

"Why not just stake out the house of the last victim, right?" Ireland said with a wicked smile, looking at Kusuda Rikudo.

"Kusuda Rikudō, how come you've suddenly become so smart?"

The two were summoned by Gin during the day and given this mission.

Ireland was initially unwilling, but since Vermouth was on Gin's side, he had no choice but to come over eagerly.

Dissatisfied, he naturally held a mocking attitude towards Gin's subordinates.

Kusuda Rikudo smiled coldly without revealing any emotion, but in reality, he was secretly relieved.

If Hondo Eisuke hadn't reminded him, he would have chosen to follow the police around and wait for them to find the culprit before attempting to rescue the person.

However, Hondo Eisuke gave a different opinion.

After starting the murder plan, Mizutani Kosuke was destined to be hard to find. Even if he knew the address, the probability of catching him was not high. On the contrary, staking out near Shindo Kei would definitely result in him being caught.

"Enough with the small talk, let's find a place to hide first. Mizutani Kosuke will probably make his move in the next couple of days."

Hiding is an essential step.

Nobody knows when Kosuke Mizutani will make his move.

If it's quick, it'll be fine before the police's attention is diverted.

If they wait until the police give up searching him and instead protect Shindo Kei, their stakeout will be very dangerous.

Meeting with the police is completely unnecessary.

"Just find any apartment, knock out the people inside, and pretend to be a resident, right?"

Ireland's response was understated.

"Well, that's what I planned too."

Conan overheard their entire discussion, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

Judging from his tone, he seems to be a code name member of the distillery.

Their current apartment is right next to Xintangjing. What if the two codenamed members choose to live here?
"and many more."

He suddenly looked up and glanced at Xia Chuan.

"What am I worried about? Natsukawa-nii doesn't even flinch at Gin. They're just two codename members."

Xia Chuan's concerns were not wrong. The other party would naturally regard others as their backers, regardless of whether the others were willing or not.

They're fearless when it comes to getting into trouble, but when things get really bad, they pitifully beg to be gathered together.

It can only be said that when people are shameless, they are invincible.

Xia Chuan had long noticed his strange gaze, especially after learning that people from the distillery had come; he seemed to have been injected with adrenaline.

"Normally, I wouldn't lose against two members of the brewery, but if you're included, things might change."

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow and said with a serious face, "I think we should leave quickly and notify Yuri to get the police involved."

Involving the police is fine, but why withdraw?
Conan shook his head vigorously. "The opportunity is right in front of you. Brother Xia Chuan, don't underestimate yourself. I believe you can not only take them down, but also protect me."

"."

Can't you tell I'm dissing you?

Natsukawa has gained an even clearer understanding of Conan's shamelessness.

"Okay, let's notify Yuri to come over first, and then stay away from the vicinity. Once the murderer arrives, we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

After saying that, Conan asked with a puzzled look in his eyes, "So, Natsukawa-nii, you should already know what they're looking for, right?"

He received no reply, but Conan was already certain of his guess.

The fact that two codenamed members could be dispatched is enough to prove that what was taken from the organization was very important.

I got it!
Conan set a goal for himself.

"know."

The detective craned his neck and waited for a full minute, but received no response.

Okay, fine, I won't say anything then. I can find out the truth myself.

"Knock knock knock" Just as Conan was about to say something, a knocking sound suddenly came from the door.

The sound wasn't loud, but it could be clearly heard inside.

The two looked towards the door, but neither of them seemed inclined to open it.

As expected, it should be Kusuda Rikkō and Ireland.

Just as the two had predicted, the people outside were indeed Kusuda Rikumichi and Ireland.

The two men stood on either side, staring menacingly at the door.

Kusuda Rikudo continued knocking, and after about a dozen knocks, no one opened the door.

The two looked at each other.

"It seems like nobody's here."

"That's perfect, unlock it!"

Ireland bent down and took out lock-picking tools from his pocket.

"What are you doing, handing out flyers so late at night? Do you believe I'll call the police right now?!"

Ireland froze.

There's someone inside, and they don't seem to have a very good temper.

If you manage to unlock the door yourself, the other party might call the police.

This is not the result they want.

The two exchanged a glance and decided to give up, turning their attention to another neighbor in Shin-Tang-King.

Therefore, having a bad temper has its advantages; at least burglars and robbers will have some reservations.

Xia Chuan easily resolved the crisis.

That sound just now

Xia Chuan can even change his voice? And not only that, but he can even use that old lady's voice?

I feel like he's on par with Kaito Kid.

If Natsukawa and Phantom Thief Kid hadn't appeared together, he would have actually been suspicious.

"Isn't it normal for a special investigator like me to have some special skills?"

Xia Chuan should answer as a matter of course.

About ten minutes later, Conan heard some slight noises in his earphones.

The sound of a door opening could be heard inside.

The listening device was indeed very effective, and it has been confirmed that the two have moved into another neighbor's house in Shin-Tang-King.

"Hey, why didn't you go up and help? That family might be dealt with by the distillery."

Xia Chuan suddenly made a sarcastic remark.

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, Conan's expression changed drastically.

I was so focused on the two codenamed members that I forgot that if anyone was in that apartment, they would most likely be silenced.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Brother Xia Chuan, don't stop me. No matter how important the murderer is, human life is more important."

"If we go now, we might still make it in time."

How could Natsukawa possibly let Conan leave through that door?

With a swift movement, Conan was tossed back onto the sofa.

"Okay, don't get excited."

"I'm kidding!"

"That room is empty? But I clearly heard the door open."

Conan looked at Natsukawa with hope.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be some noise when they take action, and they don't know when Mizutani Kosuke will show up. After he kills someone in the summer, the smell of a corpse will start to linger."

"They probably just tied people up."

He explained earnestly, "If you go there like this, you will only put innocent people in danger."

"It would be better to wait until Mizutani Kosuke arrives and those two codenamed members leave the room before taking action."
