Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 1048 Vodka Fishing in Troubled Waters
Gin, of course, wouldn't be comfortable sending only Vodka and Hondo Eisuke; sniper Cohen was also dispatched.

The entire brewery mobilized this time, all for the sake of Shinichi Kudo.

It has to be said that the fact that Conan Edogawa has become Shinichi Kudo is a huge deal.

Shinichi Kudo was a very tempting bait, and Renya Karasuma personally called to demand that he be brought back to the research institute.

“Cohen, you have your own things to do.” Vodka waved his hand impatiently and asked disdainfully, “I said, do you still want to be a codename member?”

While your planning skills are excellent, and your intelligence is what the organization needs, courage and combat prowess are also crucial. After this mission, I'll give you thorough training when we get back.

When he was with Vodka, Hondo Eisuke went to great lengths to flatter him. Vodka now really liked this underling.

Moreover, if his underlings also become codenamed members, wouldn't he become the same kind of person as Vermouth or his older brother?

Feeling quite pleased with themselves, the two left the room.

The appearance of Phantom Thief Kid plunged the once quiet train into chaos, with more than a dozen security guards knocking on doors in each carriage.

Not every passenger is easy to talk to, and disputes are inevitable.

These security guards aren't police officers, so when they encounter someone who doesn't want to board, they simply pull out the contract the person signed before boarding.

The contract states that if special circumstances occur with the train...

For example, if Kaito Kid breaks in or disguises himself as someone, the train conductor has the right to inspect the people on the train.

This kind of contract is actually not very respectful, but because of the gimmick of the train and the presence of rubies, passengers sign it before boarding.

However, this does not prevent some people from being unwilling to comply.

"Let's go."

Vodka and Hondo Eisuke pulled down their hat brims, walked through the crowd, and came to carriage number six.

The train conductor happened to arrive and was still asking questions in room number one.

"Damn it, am I still a step too late?"

There are problems with rooms A, D, and E. There's already a train attendant in room A, which is affecting their work.

“It’s okay, Brother Vodka, I don’t think the FBI is here.”

"How so?" Vodka asked, puzzled.

"Bourbon took care of an FBI agent who was hiding among the train conductors a long time ago. If I were the FBI agent, I would definitely suspect that there were our people among the train conductors."

Since there's suspicion, people will be wary if a train conductor comes to their door, regardless of the reason.

Hondo Eisuke glanced at the room and shook his head slightly: "Although the passengers in this room are nervous, they are not wary or putting their hands in places they shouldn't."

"Is that so?"

Vodka thought to himself that bringing the other person out was definitely the right decision.

Hondo Eisuke sneered inwardly.

First, build trust in Vodka's heart; this trust will eventually explode at some point.

His goal was clear: not only to sabotage the operation, but also to inflict heavy losses on Gin.

Now is not the time for him to unleash his full potential.

"Boom boom boom——"

The door to room D opened.
Unbeknownst to them, their every move had been observed by the people in room B.

After the train conductor finished asking questions, he planned to speed up.

Carriage B houses a married couple, and Phantom Thief Kid probably wouldn't impersonate one of them, otherwise he'd easily be exposed.

Therefore, he was just about to skip it.

Just then, the door to room B opened.

The train conductor seemed somewhat surprised.

"Were you not planning to ask about our room just now?" the person inside asked.

How could the train conductor detect a hint of dissatisfaction in the other person's tone?

He was full of doubts, but still answered, "We have confirmed that Phantom Thief Kid has no connection with your room."

However, his politeness was not understood. "What do you mean?"

The man in the room suddenly became angry, his face flushed, and he grabbed the train conductor's collar fiercely: "Are you discriminating against our room? Why did you ask room A but not room B?"

Everyone paid money, so I want to participate in the game too!

The train conductor's lips twitched, and he glanced at the three rooms behind him: "Sir, this is not a game. Phantom Thief Kid has really appeared and has already infiltrated the back carriages. We are currently checking, so please do not disturb us."

Xia Chuan thought to himself, "I can't let you guys pass by. Vodka hasn't found an FBI agent yet."

Upon noticing the commotion in room B, Hondo Eisuke couldn't help but smile.

God helps me too!

"So, is there anything wrong with this room?"

Vodka ended the conversation after only a few words, but that should be enough for Hondo Eisuke to make a judgment and analysis, right?
"Strange, I don't sense anyone suspicious. Let's check room E again. If there's really no one there, then there really isn't anyone there."

"Boom boom boom——"

You can hear the sound of an unlocking mechanism being played inside, and then the door opens.

Vodka glanced inside and found no sound of conversation; the others seemed to be asleep.

The man who opened the door was in his thirties. He seemed a little wary, but he was still quite polite.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"Excuse me, have you seen this child before?"

Vodka pulled out a photo. "He's my son. He said he was going to play in the hallway, and then he disappeared. I'm a little worried."

The man glanced at the photo, then shook his head: "Sorry, I've never seen this person before."

"Aren't you going to take a closer look?"

Vodka's lips curled into a smile, his eyes seeming to become much more playful: "Is it possible that he just transformed from a child into an adult?"

He then pulled out another photo, which was none other than a grown-up Shinichi Kudo.

The original picture was, of course, a photo of Conan.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

The person was about to close the door when they discovered that it wouldn't close.

"Sir, if you keep doing this, I'm going to call the police."

The FBI agent doesn't know how he was exposed, but given the current situation, it's highly likely that the other party already knows his identity.

He must inform Shuichi Akai immediately!

However, Vodka gave him no chance whatsoever.

"call out--"

The silencer was already quite quiet, and the train was already noisy, so the gunshots were completely masked.

The FBI agent was completely baffled as to how he had been exposed and how the other party dared to open fire right at the door.

You should know that your room isn't just for one person.

If I die, others will be alerted.

The door closed, and the FBI agent slammed it to the ground, but no one else in the room reacted.

Vodka and Hondo Eisuke quickly left the area.

"How did you find out he had a problem?" Once they reached a less crowded area, Vodka finally couldn't help but ask.

"Actually, it's very simple: the room is too quiet."

If he were asleep, there's no way he wouldn't have reacted to such a loud commotion on the train.

Therefore, the people in his room were likely drugged by him.

Furthermore, this person's accent is somewhat problematic. Although they are trying to disguise it, it still reveals that their primary native language is English.
