Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 1032 Secret Passage
On a smaller scale, the sneak attacks by peripheral members were very effective.

However, these sacrifices did not affect the overall progress of the Ooka family's bodyguard team, which still consisted of more than half of its original members.

The smoke billowed like thunder in the sky, and flashes of light, gunshots, and screams could be seen intermittently within the gray-black fog.

One day ago, this place was a beautiful resort paradise; one day later, it was a scene of devastation, ruins, and hell.

However, the further they pushed inward, the more uneasy Xia Chuan felt.

wrong!

If I were Gin, I would definitely fire RPGs into the smoke. So far, they haven't fired even ten RPGs. If they were prepared in advance, there shouldn't be so few, and they shouldn't only have one type of weapon of mass destruction.

She's seducing me!
"Hawkeye, have your men retreat."

"Impossible!" Hawkeye glanced back at Xia Chuan and said with dissatisfaction, "We made such a huge sacrifice just to get into the villa, and now success is within reach."

The current point of attack is the villa's weakest point; we cannot give them a chance to rest and reload.

Is it the weakest point?

Doesn't that create an even bigger problem?
"I suspect that Gin deliberately revealed this weakness to you."

"What do you mean?" Hawkeye's expression changed drastically. In a flash, a bad premonition enveloped him.

Before he could even call for a halt, a deafening explosion erupted from the thick fog ahead.

Black mist enveloped scattered pebbles, and splinters of wood mixed with sparks fell to the ground.

The shockwave sent Hawkeye and the others flying, while Xia Chuan steadied himself by hiding behind a tree.

A constant buzzing in my ears; I could only see Hawkeye get up and shout, seemingly giving some kind of order.

However, the explosion was so loud that no one could catch their breath.

I'm afraid life inside the villa won't be easy either.

Xia Chuan turned to look at the villa.

After the explosion, the second floor of the villa tilted completely towards its weak point, and the thick fog obscured the presence of any members of the distillery.

Xia Chuan didn't care about anything else and rushed straight into the villa.

Sure enough, the villa was empty; the living people had long since disappeared.

Could there be a secret escape route from an underground base?

"What about people?"

Hawkeye arrived shortly after, standing beside Xia Chuan with a face ashen as if he had eaten shit.

Before Natsukawa could answer, Shuichi Akai, who had rushed over, excitedly walked past the group.

Seeing this, Hawkeye immediately led his men to follow.

Although many were killed or wounded at once, a considerable number of his men remained.

Xia Chuan has to admit, the Ooka family is quite formidable.

Although these people may only be about as strong as the members on the periphery of the distillery, there are simply more of them.

He took out his phone and called Frank.

Even if there are passageways inside the base, they probably won't be built to very far places.

"Frank, keep an eye out. Gin and his group might leave through the tunnel. If you spot them nearby, notify me immediately, but don't take any action."

"Huh?" Frank asked in surprise, "The Ooka family mobilized so many people and their plan was so meticulous, yet Gin still managed to escape?"

Frank was quite optimistic about this operation.

He thought that even if he couldn't kill Gin, he could at least kill a few codenamed members.

From Xia Chuan's tone, he didn't mention any codenamed members, which was a bit disappointing about the Ooka family. The villa's underground base was huge, at least a thousand square meters, and had three floors.

Such a huge space could easily accommodate several hundred people.

It wasn't until he came down that Hawkeye realized he had lost from the very beginning.

The loss was due to underestimating the size of the base.

Such a large base must have an exit route.

Shuichi Akai clearly didn't know where they were either. The group of people were running around like headless flies, unable to find Gin and the others at all.

However, some peripheral members were unable to leave in time and were captured by the Ooka family.

However, Hawkeye himself knew that such prisoners were of little use.

It took them fifteen minutes to find Gin's escape route.

Half an hour is enough time for people to evacuate completely.

This means that the mission failed; no codename members were killed or captured, and the mission was simply carried out by clearing out a distillery's personnel training base.

“Sir, there are many empty rooms here. Judging from the layout and decoration, it is very likely that some kind of research was carried out here before.”

The Ooka family's bodyguard team was no pushover either; after a quick check, they spotted some problems.

"They must have only recently moved their research equipment away."

Hawkeye nodded silently, signaling to continue the search.

Beside them, Shuichi Akai and Tsutomu Akai exchanged a glance. This discovery confirmed that Tsutomu Akai's memory was correct; Mary Akai and Masumi Sera should have been here before.

"Mr. Hawkeye, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now." Xia Chuan walked around for a bit but didn't find anything.

Gin left no trace this time.

Fortunately, I knew about the White Horse Research Institute beforehand; otherwise, after the operation was over, I would have been just like the Akai father and son and Hawkeye, gritting my teeth in resentment.

“Mr. Natsukawa, this collaboration is just the beginning. I hope we can continue to cooperate and share intelligence.”

Hawkeye's gaze was heavy, and he felt an urge to lose his temper, but he held back and said thoughtfully, "You should also know very well that a small group of a few people cannot destroy an organization like a distillery."

According to the information obtained, Xia Chuan's team should not exceed five people, and it seems that he is the only one who can be used as a fighting force.

At most, you could also include his fiancée, the police instructor named Joel.

No matter how strong an individual's combat ability is, it is at a significant disadvantage when facing a brewery with a large number of peripheral members.

Only by cooperating with the Ooka family can Natsukawa get what he wants.

This is the same as the Akai father and son.

The Ooka family needs high-end combat power, and Natsukawa and his son Akai are such people.

The Ooka family's bodyguard team is large enough and well-equipped, so only through cooperation among the three parties could this organization be destroyed.

“That makes sense. If you find any trace of Gin, please let me know and I can help you.”

Xia Chuan nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "However, I hope our cooperation will be more open and transparent. I didn't know you had brought howitzers with you this time, and that you also had a group of people surrounding you."

Hawkeye narrowed his eyes.

Xia Chuan, you're being a bit too forward.

Since you're a fighter, you should have the instincts of a fighter. Just fight well, why care about so many other things?
However, since he was the one seeking cooperation, he could only nod and smile, "I understand. It's the first time we've worked together, so there might be some shortcomings. But there won't be any problems next time."

"hope so."

After leaving those words, Xia Chuan turned and left.
