Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 107 Escape
The night was dark and windy, the sea was turbulent and the waves were high.

A cruise ship sailed alone in the darkness, so quiet that only the sound of the waves accompanied it.

In the tense atmosphere, the cruise ship suddenly erupted with a loud noise, followed by violent shaking.

Suddenly, thick smoke rose from below the stern of the ship, and the smoke, along with the flames, spread rapidly.

The shocking scene instilled fear in everyone.

Even Conan was speechless at this moment, his mouth agape and his legs unable to move.

This is terrifying.

Killers these days are getting more and more ruthless.

The assassin, disguised as Suzuki's butler, seems to intend to bury them all at sea.

The restaurant staff also rushed out at this moment, all of them filled with fear and trepidation.

Especially Akie Hatamoto.

The life of a rich woman was beckoning her, and she had already planned to sleep with all the famous male escorts in Tokyo.

Now it seems I won't be able to live to see that day.

That damned Kenzo Masuyama!
It must have been him who did it.

They said they'd only take action after returning to Tokyo, but now even she's about to be sunk into the sea.

A man's mouth, a liar.

But none of that matters now; survival is the top priority.

"What do we do? You guys need to figure out a way to get me out of here! Xia Jiang and I will pay you enough!" Yamamoto Akie screamed in despair.

Judging from the way her thighs were trembling, you'd think she'd been hit by a ricocheting bullet.

However, all the members of the Yakumoto family are really the same; they always try to bribe people with money.

With the death of Hiromoto Gozo, these guys all felt like they were rolling in money.

"Where's Ichiro?" Hatsue Hitomoto asked.

Xia Chuan shook his head. "We couldn't find him. There's been an explosion at the bottom of the ship, we have to leave immediately, or the cruise ship might sink."

As soon as he finished speaking, another explosion was heard from below the ship.

The rumbling sound sent a chill down everyone's spine.

What a ruthless killer.

"I've already notified the Metropolitan Police Department, and they've sent a helicopter, but it won't arrive for another forty minutes."

Joel glanced at his watch: "Thirty minutes left."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for them to come now." Kogoro Mouri said seriously, half of his face illuminated by the rising firelight.

The ship suddenly began to rock, and the seawater splashed up a hundred-meter-high wave, like a bucket of cold water being poured on everyone's hearts.

He also knocked Kogoro Mouri, who had just started showing off, to the ground.

Conan cursed his bad luck, steadied himself against the wall, and suddenly shouted, "Back off!"

Hatsue Hiramoto was startled; it seemed as if Conan was speaking to her.

Looking back, a steel pipe came hurtling down from the three-layered plywood, crashing down before he could react.

"what!"

boom!
It didn't hit Hatsue Hiramoto, but it did create a dent in the deck, and the thick iron pipe fell directly into the first floor of the ship's cabin.

This shows that if it had hit someone, it would have been absolutely devastating.

"It's Butler Suzuki!"

Xia Chuan was surprised that this guy actually dared to show up again.

"Are you alright?" Takeshi Homoto shouted as he approached Natsue Homoto.

Just as Hatsue Hiramoto was about to burst into tears, she suddenly took a half-step back in fear.

Stab it!

The steel pipe, as sharp as a javelin, pierced through Takeshi Hitomoto's chest.

The blood-stained steel pipe slammed into the splint with a clang, and the intense pain made Takeshi Hitomoto's eyes widen and his pupils dilate.

The arm lost its strength halfway up and fell silently to the ground.

"Xia Jiang."

Takeshi Hitomoto lost his life with resentment.

The three-surname servant never truly grasped the immense wealth of the original family.

"His target is Xia Jiang, Joel, Anya is yours!"

Natsukawa lunged forward, using the tilted plank to reach Hiramoto Natsue's side. With a burst of strength, he swept the dazed Hiramoto Natsue up in his arms.

Yamamoto Natsue cannot die.

If he dies, Ireland's goal will be achieved.

If someone has been harassing you for so long, wouldn't it be too embarrassing not to retaliate?

As for whether the survival of Hatsue Hiramoto would affect the brewery's takeover of the Hiramoto Group, Natsukawa no longer cared about that; let it be.

In any case, the blame will ultimately fall on the Tequila brand, and Pisco will be the one to bear the brunt of Gin's anger.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, come here quickly."

In the blink of an eye, everyone had taken refuge inside the cabin stairs.

Conan stretched out his little hand and frantically summoned.

"go to hell!"

Ireland's voice was muffled by the sound of waves and explosions, but Xia Chuan knew that what the other person was saying was not nice. He looked up and saw a kettle of hot water coming towards him.

Good heavens! Why are they throwing things around like that? Repeatedly throwing objects from high-rise buildings like this will get them fined, you know?

Xia Chuan moved nimbly, dodging several falling objects before rushing into the hatch.

Before he could even steady himself and put Hiramoto Natsue down, his feet trembled again.

The tremors were extremely strong and showed no sign of stopping or resting.

The cruise ship can't hold on any longer! It seems the area where the explosion occurred has already started to sink.

Xia Chuan's gaze sharpened as he looked towards the end of the corridor: "Go out from the other end. I remember there are other escape boats on the side of the cruise ship!"

Unsuspecting, Joel led Anya away at breakneck speed. The others followed suit; the flames were spreading rapidly through the ship's hold, and sparks were already appearing on the first deck.

As the group approached another exit and were about to leave, Conan raised his hand to stop them.

A mirror had appeared in his hand without his knowledge, and it extended out of the cabin, reflecting the image onto the third-floor deck.

After confirming from the reflected light that no one was on the third floor, Conan said, "Butler Suzuki isn't here. Everyone, let's go."

The group reappeared on a mezzanine floor.

At this point, the cruise ship tilted significantly, with its bow noticeably rising.

Kogoro Mori leaned over the railing to inspect the ship's hull.

A small boat roared away, and the man in the tuxedo on board turned back with a cunning smile.

"hateful!"

Kogoro Mori angrily slammed his fist on the railing, then winced in pain.

He then realized that he hadn't knocked Conan on the head.

"The last lifeboat has been taken away!"

"It's alright!" Xia Chuan said calmly, carrying two deflated kayaks.

The rustling sounds of breathing rose and fell; they were racing against death, and no one dared to slack off.

Ten minutes later, the two kayaks were inflated, and the group of people leaned against the wall, panting.

The cruise ship had reached the end of its life countdown, tilting at an angle of more than forty-five degrees.

Countless things are falling.

The sounds of shattering glass and heavy objects being struck were constant, occasionally accompanied by the booming of explosions.

The cabin was completely engulfed in flames, and everything was about to be destroyed in the fire and water.

Xia Chuan held two sets of bed sheets in his hands and tied them to the corners of the two kayaks respectively.

"What is this for?"

Anya was the most composed of the group, slacking off the whole time.

"How do you manage to stay so calm even when disaster is imminent?" Conan couldn't help but complain. This girl was not like a child at all; she wasn't even human.

At this critical moment when her life was in danger, there was no trace of fear on her face.

Not scientific!
No Ke Xue!
Even Newton and Professor Agasa would shake their heads in curiosity when they arrived, wondering what exactly this thing was and how it was different from other four-legged money-devouring beasts.

At this moment, Xia Chuan relaxed a little and had a chance to explain to Anya: "Simplified parachute, Anya, are you ready to jump?"

"Ania is ready!"

The little girl obediently climbed onto the kayak.

Yoel, Natsukawa, Anya, and Hatamoto Natsue were on the same boat.

The Mori family and the Hiramoto Akie were on the same boat.

Everything is ready, and we are about to set sail!
A gap was smashed into the edge of the railing diagonally below, so now the kayak can just slide down like a slide and rush out through the gap.

"Will this work?" Akie Hiramoto was terrified.

She'd tried parachuting before, but never this kind of 'slide + parachute'—it seemed completely unreliable, especially with four people sharing a single sheet and parachute.

"Just hope the sheets are sturdy enough!" Xia Chuan continued with a laugh, "Uncle Mori, are you ready?"

"can!"

Kogoro Mouri turned pale; he's afraid of heights!
But for my daughter's sake, I absolutely cannot back down even a step!
The kayak slid down a slope that was nearly 60 degrees.

The bottom of the kayak rubbed against the deck, making a rustling sound. Everyone tensed up, gritted their teeth, and gripped the edge of the kayak tightly.

Huhu~
At the end of the corridor, the kayak shot off with a whoosh.

The next moment, the sea breeze swept through the kayak, causing the sheets to bulge upwards and tighten with a whoosh.

Everyone lay prostrate down.

"Did you make it!"

Anya shouted excitedly, glanced back at the cruise ship, and said to Xia Chuan, "Father, you're right, cruise ships are no good at all. Let's buy helicopters instead."

A question mark appeared above Xia Chuan's head.

This four-legged money-devouring beast really doesn't know how hard it is to make money. Why don't you ask Natsue Hiromoto to send you one?
The rustling wind carried the kayaks away from the cruise ship.

A minute later, the kayak slapped the water's surface, splashing up layers of waves.

Safe landing!
Xia Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked in the direction of the Mori family's kayak.

He finally smiled after finding that there was no problem.

"Yor, are you alright?"

Bow down.

It was only then that Xia Chuan noticed that, because the kayak was relatively small, Joel was lying on top of him, her soft breasts pressing against his thighs, and her beautiful cheeks pressed against his waist and below. This scene was somewhat... indescribable.

Upon hearing the sound, Joel looked up with a curious gaze.

hiss~
Xia Chuan realized that his angle was a bit tricky. Joel was holding onto his pants and looking at him with a blank and confused expression. This situation was really... well, you know.

"It's nothing." Xia Chuan propped himself up with his elbows, slightly hunching over to hide his younger brother's embarrassment.

Joel was bewildered and remained kneeling, quietly watching Xia Chuan.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Xia Chuan touched his cheek and asked curiously.

"No, I just think you're very brave, Xia Chuan." Joel held Xia Chuan's hands tightly in both of his hands. "Thank you!"

"Marry him! Marry him!"

Anya, always eager for drama, started stirring things up.

Anya's antics improved Hatsue Hitomoto's mood considerably.

"Thank you, Mr. Natsukawa."

Hatsue Hiramoto expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

If it weren't for Xia Chuan, she would probably have already met Yabumoto Takeshi again on the road to the underworld by now.
