Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 109 You Can't Handle This Kind of Woman

"Regarding Ichiro," Hatsue Hiramoto hesitated, then sighed, unwilling to speak.

Xia Chuan didn't want to reopen old wounds, so the topic was glossed over.

The three of them talked in the room for a while.

Hatsue Hiromoto expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the two of them.

To repay a life-saving debt, you must either immediately repay the debt with your body, or serve as a slave in your next life.

Natsukawa is quite nice, but unfortunately, Hatsue Hiromoto feels she lacks charm, and since Mr. Natsukawa seems to already have Yoru, she doesn't want to get involved.

As for Uncle Mori...

Uncle, I'm sorry, we're not a good match.

Fortunately, wealthy conglomerates have their own unique ways of expressing gratitude.

After a long conversation, the secretary finally called from the internal line to indicate that the gifts were ready and asked them to come downstairs.

As Xia Chuan went downstairs, he was met with even more stern gazes.

"I spent half an hour in Ms. Xia Jiang's office, and this guy is an unstable factor!"

"Isn't there a detective with them? They certainly won't do anything wrong, right?"

"It's hard to say. Miss Xia Jiang's room even has a lounge. That man is so handsome, I'd fall for him."

"It's possible that Kogoro Mouri was just covering for them."

The murmurs around him made Xia Chuan's forehead crease with exasperation.

The widow seems to have brought many suitors to Hiramoto Natsue.

I don't know if it's true love or just money.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, these things have nothing to do with him.

Nothing is as appealing as something dramatic and exciting. Besides, now that he has a goal, he should persevere.

As for having money, Xia Chuan really doesn't care.

Although I'm not as rich as the Yakumoto Group, I have enough money to get by, right?
The three of them went to the conglomerate's warehouse together.

The secretary had been waiting for a long time, and the other party led her in.

The group arrived at the innermost garage.

The roller shutter door rose, and a luxurious car came into view.

"This is?"

Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened like saucers, and he raised his trembling arm to point at the car, asking, "Who is this for?"

The sound of him swallowing made his female secretary cover her mouth and chuckle.

There was only one, so Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but worry.

What if this is for Xia Chuan?
He fell in love with the black car at first sight.

The Mercedes logo, but it's a car model I've never seen before.

Thin, metallic-looking wheel rims.

The car's glossy black paint and streamlined body resemble muscular, well-defined lines.

The two headlights were full and bright, and the openable roof made Kogoro Mori eager to experience it immediately.

“This is a thank-you gift for Uncle Mori!” Hatsue Hatomoto chuckled and continued, “This is a custom-made model from Mercedes-Benz, with only 999 units in the world. It was originally meant for my grandfather to use, but now that he’s gone, I don’t want to keep this car and only cause him more grief.”

As she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.

The secretary beside him was very professional and immediately handed Xia Jiang a handkerchief.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony." Kogoro Mouri grinned from ear to ear; he'd really hit the jackpot this time.

Xia Chuan:.
Should I remind the uncle that it would be best to give the car to Ms. Eri Kisaki, otherwise it's hard to say how many days she'll be able to use it?

Even a casual trip abroad could carry the risk of an explosion.

"Uncle Mori, you..."

Kogoro Mouri's expression turned serious. "Natsukawa, you're not trying to steal it from me, are you? You already have a GTR, and that car isn't bad either."

"Although it's much worse than this car."

Kogoro Mouri said the last sentence in secret.

The car was like a second wife to the man, and at this point, he had already begun to possess it.

"No, my GTR is fine, I don't plan to change cars anytime soon. What I meant was..."

Xia Chuan shrugged and swallowed back the advice he was about to say.

Let's not talk about it anymore; Uncle Mori probably won't listen anyway.

Moreover, Uncle Mori doesn't always encounter explosions during his road trips; he also experiences flat tires, breakdowns, accidents, oil leaks, and engine failures.

Aside from the explosion, the other items should be fine and can be repaired.

Kogoro Mouri stayed in the car for more than ten minutes, leaving his handprints all over the car before getting out, satisfied. "This car is so expensive, I'm really a little hesitant to drive it on the road~" Kogoro Mouri scratched his head and laughed, "And even a flat tire would probably cost hundreds of thousands to repair."

After regaining his senses, Kogoro Mouri smiled somewhat awkwardly; this thing was far too valuable.

When I first got involved, all I thought about was getting it. But after things settled down, I started to doubt whether I could afford to maintain the car.

The annual insurance premium must be several hundred thousand to several million.

"Don't worry, Mr. Mori, we will cover all the repair, insurance, annual inspection, and maintenance costs for this car. You won't have to pay a single penny; this is our reward for saving Miss Xia Jiang."

The secretary smiled and waved: "From now on, this car will belong to you personally, but you'll have to pay for the gas yourself."

"Hahaha—of course!"

Kogoro Mouri's eyes crinkled into crescent shapes with laughter; this was wonderful.

“Now, next is Mr. Natsukawa’s gift,” said Hatsue Hitomoto.

Xia Chuan was also starting to look forward to it.

The Hiromoto Group is indeed very wealthy; this customized Mercedes-Benz must cost over 100 million yen.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, the Yabumoto Group is a well-known company in Tokyo and even Japan, and it even owns luxury cruise ships, so this amount of money shouldn't be a big deal.

If we're talking about expensive, that luxury cruise ship must have cost at least tens of billions of yen; it would be truly heartbreaking if that cruise ship sank.

In short, it's time to reveal his gift.

"Nami, where is Mr. Natsukawa's gift?" Hatsue Hitomoto asked.

Xia Chuan was taken aback. Did Xia Jiang himself not know where the gift he had given him was?
The female secretary looked somewhat troubled: "Miss, the gift is still on display at the Green Terrace Treasure Exhibition. We previously signed a donation agreement with Green Terrace Town, and the exhibition period is three days. Tomorrow is only the third day, so we'll have to wait a while before we can deliver it."

The secretary, named Nami, bent over again, her drooping shirt collar revealing a deep, unfathomable cleavage.

Good guy.

Forgive you.

Xia Chuan stared at the screen for a few seconds before looking away, silently reciting Yor's name in his mind.

Hypnotize yourself that you can't be greedy and have your cake and eat it too; being fickle and trying to have your cake and eat it too is not Huang Hun's personality!

strangeness.

Xia Chuan touched his nose, somewhat curious.

He had a strong will to resist beautiful women, and the feeling that Joel gave him was already quite special. Yet, the person in front of him also had a strange attraction to him.

Fortunately, it was only a little bit; at least when I turned my head, my eyes didn't peek back.

She seems to be just a rather charming woman.

Indeed, her every smile and frown is enough to make one's mouth water.

(﹃)
In ancient times, she would probably be considered a femme fatale who caused wars.

However, when facing Joel, he couldn't even turn his head to look elsewhere, let alone look into his eyes.

Comparing the two, he still prefers Miss Joel, that's for sure!
Xia Chuan coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, then asked, "The Treasure Exhibition, the exhibition agreement? So the gift is a certain exhibit?"

Hatsumi Yamamoto nodded: "Yes, we'll know the details when we get to Green Terrace."

"So, could you please drive us there, Mr. Mori?"

"Of course!" Kogoro Mori patted his chest vigorously, full of energy, and said, "Don't worry, my driving skills are top-notch, I can definitely get you there as quickly as possible."

"I won't bother you any longer; there are still many matters to attend to within the conglomerate."

Secretary Mina nodded politely and turned to leave.

Only after the other person had left did Xia Chuan ask, "Ms. Xia Jiang, is this Ms. Mina your secretary?"

Xia Jiang nodded and chuckled, "Yes, Ms. Amamiya Mina is the secretary I hired after returning to the conglomerate. She is very efficient and has a great way of doing things. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't even have time to meet with you now."

"Just arrived?"

Xia Jiang gave Xia Chuan a strange look and teased, "Mr. Xia Chuan, you wouldn't have taken a fancy to Miss Mina, would you? But indeed, Miss Mina is a very charming woman."

But won't Miss Joel be angry?

As far as I know, Mr. Natsukawa is pursuing Miss Joel, right? If Mr. Natsukawa isn't faithful, I'll secretly tell Miss Joel!

"Xia Chuan boy, you don't actually have a crush on her, do you? But you should give up. You're an unemployed bum. Women like her are very career-oriented and decisive. You can't handle them. A quiet girl like Miss Joel is more suitable for you."

Quiet?

If Joel hadn't fought with Ireland that day, he might still have thought she was a quiet girl.

Natsukawa rolled his eyes: "Uncle Mori, you're so experienced. I've heard that Ms. Eri Kisaki is a very career-oriented woman."

Kogoro Mouri immediately put on a sullen face, looking like he didn't want to talk to Natsukawa.

Clearly, he didn't want to talk much about Eri Kisaki.
