Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 994 This is the price.
Kuroda Hyōe stood up and walked to Yuri's side.

He patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Now do you feel guilty about the vow you made?"

Yuri raised his head, his eyes shining brightly: "No, I remain loyal to my ideals and my country, and I take it upon myself to protect the country and its people."

Okay, all that talk was for nothing.

Kuroda Hyoue's face darkened, but he still patiently continued: "You should know how important Akai Mary is. As long as you hand over your research report on her, I can let bygones be bygones for what happened before."

With so many major events happening recently, Kuroda Hyōe is under considerable pressure.

If we could obtain the research data on Mary Akai's shrinking, secretly visit the Public Security Bureau leadership, and let them know about her immortality, securing our position would be the most basic thing. Perhaps we could also gain control of more Public Security forces, which would be of unimaginable benefit in the future battle with the Distillery.

"Research data?"

Yuri paused, puzzled, and asked, "What research data?"

If Yuri's lie was full of holes just now, Kuroda Hyoue couldn't tell that he was lying when he said this now.

If Yuri's lying skills didn't suddenly improve dramatically, then he simply didn't conduct any human research on Mary Akai.

Kuroda Hyōe: "."

If you're not going to do the research, why are you locking people up?
“Mr. Kuroda, now that Gin has taken Akai Mary away, the mastermind behind the brewery is likely to appear soon. I request that we increase the number of team members to deal with what may happen next.”

At this point, if they still needed more people, Kuroda Hyōe naturally wouldn't provide them, and he wouldn't even bother to respond to the topic.

"The police have suffered such a heavy loss, including some retired officers. The higher-ups are already aware of this. Someone needs to take responsibility for this. You know what I mean, right?"

Kuroda Hyōe stopped trying to persuade him with kind words and revealed his true intentions.

If Yuri is unwilling to provide any information about Mary Akai, then after today, he will have no further connection with the brewery's case.

It just so happens that the construction of network information technology is currently underway, and we are short-handed for entering archival documents. The more I look at Yuri, the more suitable he seems.

"I'm going to get back to work."

Yuri didn't reply and walked straight out.

Each conversation only brought him more disappointment.

Kuroda Hyoue was indeed focused on researching Akai Mary; he never considered that using Akai Mary could actually lure Karasuma Renya out.

Not long after Yuri emerged, a piece of news shocked his team members.

Kuroda Hyōe submitted a new appointment document.

Yuri was appointed to return to Public Security Headquarters to be in charge of network information technology development, and his position as team leader was taken over by Deputy Team Leader Ogata Kansuke.

"Mr. Yuri, are you really going there?" Kazami Yu couldn't help but worry.

"The network information technology department was only recently established. Once you join this department, in order to prevent data leaks, members are not allowed to leave until the department is fully established."

By doing this, Kuroda Hyōe essentially imprisoned Yuri.

"This is the price."

Yuri sneered, glanced back at the office door, and said softly, "It doesn't matter anymore. My part is done. Now it's up to Furuya and Natsukawa."

Kazami Yuya sighed and could only help Yuri pack his things.

That's all he can do. Next, it'll be Yamato Kansuke's turn. Who knows what will happen then?

"Xia Chuan, your phone is ringing."

Joel took out his phone and handed it to Xia Chuan, who was cooking.

Xia Chuan hummed in agreement and turned on the screen.

After opening the email and reading for a while, Xia Chuan suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong?" Joel asked curiously. "Did Frank track down Gin's hideout?"

Mary Akai has been injected with a miniature locator, and Frank is busy using the locator to pinpoint the brewery's new location.

"No, it's Gin. That guy has finally come knocking on our door."

Xia Chuan handed the phone directly to Yoel. "Coordinates?"

Upon seeing the above content, Joel immediately understood.

Judging from the numbers, it's probably within a few prefectures surrounding Tokyo.

"It seems Gin is ready to close the net on me."

Joel rolled his eyes: "Then how come you're so confident and can still laugh?"

“I’m not stupid. Since he already suspects Tequila’s identity, why should I get involved? Besides, Amuro Tooru provided problematic information this time. Although I’ve managed to get Akai Mary, I’ll inevitably be suspected. Tequila’s identity is perfect for taking the blame.”

Xia Chuan had long anticipated that the tequila disguise would eventually be exposed as problematic.

However, what intrigued him was that Gin knew things that were too absurd.

"Hmm, then don't go. I also think it's too dangerous. They must have laid a trap. Anyway, with Baileys and Rei Furuya from the Public Security Bureau, we already have enough information channels."

Xia Chuan nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Let's go to Nagano tomorrow. This is when Karasuma Renya is most excited, and also when it's easiest to expose his true colors."

"I go with you."

Xia Chuan shook his head slightly: "It's not appropriate for you to go. Anya and Haibara need to be looked after by someone."

"Wang!"

Just then, Bond suddenly ran over and grabbed Natsukawa's trouser leg.

Xia Chuan lowered his head curiously.

"Wang!"

"Father, can I not go?"

Anya then walked over, her innocent eyes filled with seriousness, and said, "I feel that going out this time will be very dangerous."

"Is it dangerous?"

Xia Chuan poured the food out of the pot, turned off the gas, and then squatted down to say, "Father has a reason to go."

Whether it's for Ai Haibara, for the IRS mission, or for news about the scholars, it's all related to Renya Karasuma.

"Joel, take care of them for a while, and keep an eye on Frank's whereabouts. If you can find Gin and the others through Akai Mary, that would be a good thing."

"Ok."

Joel answered seriously.

"I'm sorry," Xia Chuan suddenly said.

He gently stroked Joel's hair. "I'm sorry to have worried you."

“I know you did it for me and Yuri.”

Speaking of Yuri, Natsukawa felt quite emotional.

Unexpectedly, the trio from Nagano Prefecture ended up becoming public security police officers, serving as Kuroda Hyōe's new weapon.

By the way, isn't Kuroda Hyoue worried that these people aren't on his side either?
If someone becomes part of the main cast or an important supporting character, don't expect them to be truly dedicated to doing things for you. In the end, they'll likely act on emotion.

This is a very important handle for Xia Chuan.

After this villa incident, everyone except the FBI is probably a winner.

The FBI not only failed to rescue Mary Akai, but also dragged Judith Starling into the mess.

In the end, Judith Starling could have easily run away on her own.

But she still chose to take action, which ultimately led to this result.

It was another case of acting on impulse.
