Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 977 Conan's Little Secret
Anyone can be wise after the event, so Yuri didn't voice his thoughts.

He walked up to Ireland.

"Are these fragments on the ground Gin's target?"

Natsukawa shrugged. "I didn't expect Gin to be so decisive, disposing of him and the SD card together."

They were one step closer to their goal of destroying the distillery.

"Damn it, that SD card must be very important. If only I could get it. Maybe someone on that list really knows where Karasuma Renya is."

Xia Chuan did not answer, but frowned as he looked at the SD card fragments on the ground.

The bullet completely shattered the SD card, making it impossible to piece it back together, and finding all the fragments was simply absurd.

"Did you find anything?"

Yuri squatted down, picked up a piece of debris, and, like Xia Chuan, sniffed it.

It had a slightly burnt smell, but nothing else particularly special.

"This SD card looks new."

"New?" Yuri didn't quite understand. Isn't it normal for an SD card to look new when it's inside an MP3 player?

"It's nothing, I'm probably just overthinking it."

Yuri hummed in agreement and tapped his earpiece lightly.

Several police officers in bomb suits disembarked from the helicopter.

Kosuke Mizutani doesn't know how many bombs he's planted; it hasn't been fully investigated yet, and the explosive ordnance disposal team needs to check the situation.

This is the Tokyo Tower; if it were bombed, the country would lose face.

The next time Natsukawa saw Conan was on the top-floor observation deck.

Although he was covered in sweat, his hairstyle remained unchanged.

"Conan, did Kosuke Mizutani say anything to you before he died?"

"No?" Conan shook his head, puzzled. "By the way, how are those people at the Blacksmith's?"

"Kusuda Rikumichi and Ireland are both dead, and Gin ran away very quickly."

Before they could exchange more than a few words, the elevator dinged, drawing their attention.

The elevator doors opened, and Kogoro Mouri rushed out, asking, "Are you all alright?"

Fortunately, the staff elevator leading to the top floor was fine.

Kogoro Mouri felt his legs trembling. If he hadn't found a small crane left behind in the elevator shaft, he would never have been able to climb to the 45th floor to take the elevator.

Natsukawa and Conan shook their heads.

"Huh, Yuri, you're here too?" Wataru Takagi, who was following behind Kogoro Mouri, was surprised.

Because of Miwako Sato, he had met Yuri once, so they knew each other, but weren't close.

"Ah."

Yuri simply nodded.

"Where are those people?" Takagi Wataru asked hurriedly.

"Kosuke Mizutani is dead. There are two other mysterious people whose identities are unknown. One fell down and died, and the other was shot on the platform above."

Xia Chuan gave a brief explanation, then concluded, "Mizutani Kosuke is dead, so this case is considered closed. If there's nothing else, I'll go back and rest."

"Me too."

Conan continued.

"There shouldn't be any problem."

After that, the Metropolitan Police Department's helicopter arrived late at the observation deck.

Inspector Megure is always the one who cleans up the mess, there's no doubt about that.

Gunfight, explosions, and armed helicopters occurred at Tokyo Tower.

This is a very troublesome thing in itself.

Inspector Megure was having a headache and didn't have time to entertain Natsukawa and the others, so he gestured for them to leave.

Yuri stayed behind.

Inspector Megure was unaware of Yuri's identity, but he was notified that this baby-faced Yuri, who was rumored to be Yoel's younger brother, had been specially dispatched to investigate the details of the matter.

The following day, Tokyo returned to calm.

The Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department worked together to suppress the Tokyo Tower incident.

Television stations or newspapers that wanted to report on the story received warnings to varying degrees.

Therefore, most people can only learn about yesterday's events through word of mouth.

"Conan, where are you going?"

The schoolbag was still on the sofa, but Conan had already hurriedly finished his meal and left.

Looking at his back, he was limping a little.

It must be because the previous gunshot wound hasn't fully healed.

As the actual guardian, Xiaolan was dissatisfied with this.

Ran was already unhappy because Conan almost died at Tokyo Tower yesterday, so she was keeping a close eye on him.

However, Conan still managed to sneak out while she was editing a text message for Shinichi.

"Sister Xiaolan, could you please ask for leave for me? I need to go see Professor Agasa. My mother is back, so I need to go see her."

"Ms. Fumiyo?"

In the blink of an eye, Conan had vanished.

"We don't need to pay any attention to that brat," Kogoro Mouri said, pursing his lips.

Xiaolan looked speechlessly at her elderly father sitting in a wheelchair. "Dad, are you sure you can manage like this? Should I take time off work to take care of you?"

Yesterday, Kogoro Mouri climbed at least a dozen or twenty flights of stairs. Afterwards, he only felt tired. This morning, he discovered that he had a severe muscle strain and could not move at all without a wheelchair.

"Professor Agasa, are you ready?"

Conan bursts into Professor Agasa's house, making a ruckus.

The reason we're in such a predicament is because there's one thing we absolutely have to do.

Yes, it's related to yesterday's case.

In fact, the case from yesterday is far from over.

Everyone, including Gin, underestimated Kosuke Mizutani!
The SD card that Gin smashed was just a counterfeit that Kosuke Mizutani bought.

Okakura Masaaki's SD card was hidden by Mizutani Kosuke in the middle of nowhere, on a mountain where he and Honjo Nanako were looking at the Big Dipper.

No one knew about this, especially after Gin broke the SD card, Conan actually breathed a sigh of relief.

At least no one is going to take it from me now.

He didn't even tell Xia Chuan about this.

The reason is simple. Xia Chuan had kept information about the distillery from him countless times, and this time there was a hint of revenge in it.

"Here it comes, I've been ready for an hour."

"It's because you're too slow, so I grabbed some breakfast while I was at it."

They were supposed to leave before 7 o'clock, but because of Ran, Conan only just found an opportunity, so there was nothing that could be done about it.

"But are you really not going to tell Mr. Natsukawa about this?"

Dr. Agasa, already aware of the inside story, pondered for a moment and asked.

If they were to encounter people from the distillery, and they didn't have Xia Chuan's fighting prowess, then the old man and the young man would definitely suffer a terrible fate.

"It's okay, we can talk about it later." Conan shook his head to refuse.

"What is it that you need to hide from Xia Chuan?"

A voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Conan's nerves immediately tensed up.

I turned my head and looked.
Thankfully, it was Subaru Okiya, not Natsukawa.

Shuichi Akai, using the pseudonym Subaru Okiya, walked over slowly. "I heard there was a good show at Tokyo Tower last night, but unfortunately I didn't get to see it."

Subaru Okiya shook his head in disappointment, as if he were genuinely interested in what happened yesterday.

Sure enough, when it's not a matter for their own country, they have no sense of honor or responsibility whatsoever.

Conan thought to himself.
