Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 980 Go, Conan!

"Can this brick really interfere with video signals?"

Subaru Okiya asked curiously.

His gaze fell on Conan's hand, where there was a black brick.

"This isn't some brick; it's a video signal jammer that Professor Agasa invented before,"

"But their surveillance system seems to use a wired connection to transmit the video feed, rather than wireless signal transmission."

"So what?" A question mark appeared above Conan's head.

If Dr. Agasa says it's okay, then it's okay.

It's a pity Natsukawa wasn't there, otherwise he would have patted Okiya Subaru on the shoulder helplessly and said: Don't ask, it's all about Conan!

Conan was arguing about something when the black brick suddenly vibrated.

"That's enough. The signal has been jammed. The video will repeatedly play footage from the last ten minutes. Frank and his team shouldn't be able to detect it for a while."

Even at the very beginning of the plan, Subaru Okiya had already figured out how to infiltrate the Franky family home.

Or rather, this afternoon's visit was for this purpose.

He observed the architectural layout throughout the process and had already created a simple terrain model in his mind.

"There is a room on the right-hand side of the entrance hall, which should be a storage room, but the floor is very clean, so it is possible that it has been converted into a monitoring room."

"Don't make any noise when you go inside. You have to get my permission before doing anything, understand?"

Subaru Okiya was giving his final instructions.

“No problem.” Conan nodded without hesitation.

Such a straightforward approach feels a bit unreliable.

Even though he had already interfered with the surveillance, Subaru Okiya did not act arrogantly and went straight through the main entrance.

He found the French windows in the living room and courtyard and took out his lock-picking tools.

"Wait a moment!"

Conan suddenly recalled some unpleasant memories.

"What's wrong!?"

"The Natsukawa family has installed an anti-theft stun gun in the keyhole, so be careful."

Subaru Okiya nodded slightly, put away his lock-picking tools, took out a screwdriver, and opened the outer casing from the edge of the French window latch.

Only after confirming that there were no electrical devices inside did he continue to pry open the lock.

In fact, this thing wouldn't have existed in the first place.

Installing that thing in the house was purely Anya's hobby.

The first floor is very quiet. The living room and kitchen are designed as one unit, separated by a semi-open wall.

After entering through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sofa is directly in front of you.

The living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"It's so quiet!"

Before he knew it, Conan had become very anxious.

After all, the opponent is Xia Chuan, so the corresponding respect must be shown.

He carefully examined his surroundings.

Subaru Okiya glanced at him and then walked down the corridor.

When he came in from the hallway during the day, he noticed that there had been some noise in the room further ahead of the living room.

That direction should lead to the garage, but there are definitely other rooms there.

He suspected there was something wrong with that room.

"Mr. Okiya, where are you going?"

Subaru Okiya didn't answer, but instead asked, "You should have been here before. If Natsukawa and the others had any official business to conduct, where would they be?"

Conan looked ahead and hesitated before saying, "The second floor seems to be the rest area. When I came here before, they were all on the first floor."

Do you suspect the garage?

"No, judging from the layout of the villa, there is another room next to the garage. I suspect their office is there."

This is an FBI agent's sixth sense!

"It hasn't been discovered yet; Xia Chuan-ge is indeed at home taking care of his child."

Conan muttered to himself, then followed Subaru Okiya to the room door. The door was unremarkable; Subaru simply touched it lightly and smiled.

"This door is made of a different material than the others; it seems to be the one."

Subaru Okiya crouched down and opened the door using the same method he had just used.

"Mr. Okiya, you open the door so skillfully."

Conan asked suspiciously.

"Yes, a secret agent must be able to do everything, from banking to insurance to security."

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because once it was brought up, Conan suddenly remembered the bank robbery that happened in Osaka a while ago.

The robbers easily opened the safe door, and everything inside was looted.

"As expected, this is the room where they handle official business."

Conan glanced into the dark room, turned on his watch-shaped spotlight, and exclaimed in surprise, "It looks amazing! The computer screen is so thin!"

In the pitch-black room, only a few screens on the side were running, displaying eight feeds, which were the surveillance footage of the villa.

Clearly, this room was not only used as an office, but also as a surveillance facility.

The room looks very spacious.

Conan lifted his foot to step inside.

Then, he was lifted up by Subaru Okiya.

"what are you doing?"

"Didn't I tell you that you have to get my permission before you can do anything?"

"And," Subaru Okiya said, taking off his glasses and putting them on Conan's face.

Conan was struggling in dissatisfaction, but he immediately quieted down after putting on his glasses.

Many thin red lines appeared in my field of vision.

These fine lines are invisible in both darkness and normal light; they can only be seen through these glasses.

The dense red lines resemble a fluffy ball that has been messed up by a cat.

"This is a special alarm device. It will be detected as soon as the red line is touched. There's definitely something fishy about this place. What we're looking for is very likely here."

"Then how do we get in?" Conan asked.

He only prepared equipment to interfere with video signals; he hadn't even considered the red line.

He'd heard of this before; Suzuki Jirokichi used it often.
If it were Phantom Thief Kid, he would definitely be able to come up with a solution immediately.

Even though I really hate that person, I can't help but think of that smug, handsome face.

"It's not a big problem."

Subaru Okiya didn't rush in; instead, he observed the room carefully.

“There’s a loophole. An adult can’t get through the narrow space on the left, but you’re a little kid, so you should be fine.”

"is it?"

Conan's height was a bit hard to see; as soon as he stood on tiptoe, he felt like he was flying.

He turned around and saw that it was Subaru Okiya who had lifted him up.

"what are you up to?"

"What for? To send you there, of course."

Subaru Okiya laughed heartily, like a harmless and gentle older brother, but only Conan knew what he was up to.

"Go, Conan!"

With his big head forward and the force coming from the soles of his feet, Conan darted through the invisible red line like a sharp sword.

If I have the chance, I'll definitely throw it at you like that once!
Conan muttered to himself, but still got up from the ground.

Sure enough, his size was just right for him to squeeze through.

This posture isn't very elegant.

"Its firing point is on the left wall, block it."

One drawback of this red ray is that it only triggers an alarm when the body temperature is sensed.

If you use a mirror or other objects to cover it, it won't be noticed as long as the temperature doesn't change too much.
