Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 122 Shirley
"I want to see my sister, can you help me?"

"Why should I help you? We're not even close, and your personal charm isn't enough for me to help you unconditionally. You can't compare to Vermouth in terms of looks, you can't compare to your sister in terms of wealth, and I won't even mention Shuichi Akai's taste."

Gin told me to keep a close eye on you. You'd better not do anything unnecessary to cause me trouble, or you know what will happen.

Akemi Miyano is indeed a bit useless; she's good for nothing, constantly causing trouble for Gin, and always complaining about seeing her sister.

Even he couldn't stand it.

Having grown up in the organization since childhood, and still only an outer member in his mid-twenties, he can only barely make a living as a bank clerk, which shows that his abilities are average.

"But Gin clearly said that he would let my sister and me go after this mission is over. If that's the case, why won't he let us meet now?"

Akemi Miyano's words were filled with worry.

Gin might have already dealt with his sister beforehand, and then he'll be dealt with after he finishes this robbery.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

Xia Chuan was unaware of her thoughts; otherwise, he would have been speechless.

Girl, you'd better face the facts: people's values ​​are not the same.

"It's precisely because you want to take Sherry away that she needs to work overtime now. Gin is probably trying to squeeze the last drop of money out of Sherry."

"Is...is that so?" Miyano Akemi was somewhat skeptical.

I feel like this statement is a bit far-fetched. The gin that Tequila is talking about sounds like the president of some unscrupulous company.

However, this statement is not entirely without merit.

That doesn't make sense. When Shiho met him before, she clearly said that the research was extremely difficult and that the project was beyond anyone's imagination. Even though her parents left behind a lot of research materials, the finished product was still a long way off.

"Fine, I'll call Shirley. You'll know how she is just by hearing her voice. But you can only listen, not speak, or you'll never see your sister again."

Clearly, contacting Miyano by phone would put her at ease, rather than just offering verbal confirmation.

The reason why Natsukawa is so sharp-tongued is because he hates Miyano Akemi for being so weak, being used by a scumbag and still thinking about him every day.

Their parents died because of the organization, and the two sisters were also raised under semi-house arrest by the organization.

Haibara is arguably the most pitiful character in the main group. We should help her as much as we can, since Natsukawa is a good person.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Tequila."

Akemi Miyano stood up excitedly, her face beaming with joy. Even if they couldn't meet in person, a phone call to let her know she was safe would be just as good as it was. Confirming Shiho's safety would also allow her to get a good night's sleep.

Xia Chuan took out his phone and found the phone number for Shirley's research lab.

After obtaining the information, he saved the contact information of the two sisters on his phone.

Toot toot.
The call is pending connection.

Akemi Miyano was nervous and somewhat uneasy.

A dozen seconds passed, and the call still hadn't been answered.

"Is Shiho really alright? Why hasn't she answered the phone yet?" Miyano Akemi's palms were sweating, and she took a big gulp of coffee to temporarily suppress her inner fear.

"It's okay. She's not like you, working from 9 to 6. The research project is in a very demanding state right now, so it's normal that she doesn't have time to answer the phone. Just wait a little longer."

After a few more seconds, the call was finally answered.

"Hello!?"

The voice was calm and indifferent, emanating a sense of aloofness. Miyano Akemi was overjoyed and reached out to snatch Natsukawa's phone.

However, it was all in vain. She only grasped at thin air and was met with Xia Chuan's indifferent gaze.

"Remember what I just told you."

A chilling killing intent swept over her, and Miyano Akemi shrank back, stopping her restless hand from reaching out.

"This is a stress response. I didn't do it on purpose; my hand just moved on its own."

The explanation was weak and absurd; even if Vodka came, he wouldn't believe it. Miyano Akemi knew that her actions had gone too far, so she moved her chair back apologetically, indicating that she would not do anything reckless again.

At this point, Shirley on the phone was clearly getting impatient.

"Gin? Or who? Get to the point, I need to keep a record of my live experiments, I don't have time to waste here with you."

Towards the end, his tone softened slightly, whether from exhaustion from research or from suddenly remembering that the person on the other end of the phone might be Gin.

In short, she waited several more seconds before she heard a voice from the other end.

"It's me, Tequila."

Xia Chuan pretended to be deep in thought, placed the phone flat on the table in front of him, and continued, "I'm with your sister Miyano Akemi right now. Your sister seems a little worried about your current situation. It's really an enviable sisterly relationship."

"Sister, sister? Tequila, what are you trying to do! You're not allowed to do anything outrageous to my sister, or the drug development project can go to hell!"
If my sister's safety cannot be guaranteed, even if it means death, I will not continue developing that drug. You'd better think carefully about the pros and cons.

A loud bang came from the receiver, and Shirley's voice sounded much harsher; she must have been banging on the table in a panic.

Akemi Miyano was deeply moved, but Tequila didn't agree, so she didn't dare to speak. However, thankfully, she had now heard her sister's voice and was relieved to know she was alright.

"I think you've misunderstood. I'm not Gin; I would never do something like breaking up other people's families. The reason I'm calling you is simply because your sister hasn't heard your voice in a long time."

Everything's alright now. If you're busy, you can hang up.

Shirley remained silent for a long time, then gritted her teeth.

That damn tequila is just messing with itself.

"I need to hear my sister's voice, or I'll go on strike. Without my involvement, the progress of drug development will come to a standstill. You should be able to tell what's important, right?"

Shirley's words were full of threat.

Having spent a long time at the winery, she has learned some lessons: sometimes being assertive makes things easier.

"I really can't refuse you. Since that's the case, I'll reluctantly let you say a few words to your sister."

Xia Chuan pushed his phone forward, gesturing for Miyano Akemi to speak.

Akemi Miyano couldn't wait any longer and immediately came over, anxiously asking, "Shiho, are you alright? Gin didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

"It's alright, sister. I'm fine here. I'm a key member of the drug development team, Gin won't do anything to me."

Sherry's tone suddenly softened: "But what are you doing now, sister? Why won't Gin let us meet? Is Gin forcing you to do something that's difficult for you again?"

"It's alright, Shiho. I'm relieved as long as you're okay. He didn't threaten me; it was my own choice. Gin has promised me that once I complete this mission, he'll let us both leave the organization. Then we'll find a peaceful place to live and never be apart again."

"Let us leave the organization? This..."
