Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 145 A Very Useful Poison
Once Yuri left, Joel breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on the sofa.

Actually, she was almost fully awake halfway through the kiss.

However, she chose to pretend to be drunk.

After all, this was the first time she had acted like this in front of her younger brother.

I felt a strange sense of embarrassment, as if all my dignity had suddenly crumbled, and I would find it difficult to face Yuri in the future.

"Your younger brother is really cute. He has such a baby face that people would believe he's seventeen. At such a young age, he's already the conference secretary for diplomats at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He'll definitely become a very capable diplomat in the future."

Joel didn't answer. He put the cushion on his head and covered himself up like an ostrich.

"Are you alright?" Xia Chuan coughed twice, making no mention of the kiss just now, and stepped forward to ask with concern: "Are you feeling unwell after drinking so much? Wait a moment, I'll make you some ginger soup to help you sober up."

Only after Xia Chuan entered the kitchen did Joel move the cushion aside and secretly take a sip of water.

The sound of footsteps approached, and Joel, like a startled fawn, covered his head with the cushion again.

Xia Chuan smiled but didn't say anything, and began to clean up the mess.

"Wait a moment, the water is boiling. It will be ready in about fifteen minutes. Lie down for a bit."

A gap appeared in the cushion, and Joel secretly sized up Xia Chuan.

During the day, Xia Chuan acted like a knight, rescuing her from the crime scene.

At night, Xia Chuan is like a gentle husband. A man who can do housework is so handsome!

The key thing is, the food is really delicious!

Yumi used to say that all men are bad, but now it seems they're not so bad after all.

Maybe she's been dumped before. Tomorrow I'll brag to her about Xia Chuan. He's such a great boyfriend, it would be a shame not to show him off.

As she was thinking about these things, she suddenly remembered something.
Today seems to be Valentine's Day.

correct!

I even made some chocolate myself.

Although the case prevented the subsequent party from being a complete success, she did manage to make chocolates to her heart's content.

"I remember, I think I left it in the car."

After confirming that Natsukawa had returned to the kitchen, Joel sneaked out of the house and took the chocolate from the GTR.

Fortunately, it was the rainy season, and the weather was humid and cool, so the chocolate didn't melt because it had been sitting for too long.

Ten minutes later, Xia Chuan brought over the warm ginger soup.

Big Brother, it's time to take your medicine.
"Yor, quickly take a sip to sober up."

"Oh~"

Joel took a sip of the ginger soup and then placed it on the table.

"Doesn't it taste good?"

"No, I have something to give you."

This was the first time Joel had ever given a gift to a boy. Her face turned red to the roots of her ears, and she was very shy. Her outstretched hand even trembled a little.

"A gift?" Xia Chuan looked at the gift box with curiosity, feeling a mix of emotions.

This is chocolate, right? Chocolate made by Joel himself.

Untie the ribbon, open the exquisite gift box, and you'll find a dark brown chocolate with an intricately carved exterior.

The chocolates weren't big, but the patterns were clear and distinct, and they smelled really good.

Did you make this yourself?

Joel nodded solemnly and answered seriously, "I chose a mold, then melted the chocolate I bought and cooled it again. However, I added some concentrated white wine, so it should be okay. You should try it soon."

Xia Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just melting and then cooling again, then there shouldn't be any major problems.

If Joel were to start making it from the raw materials, then it's hard to say.

With the lessons of the past still fresh in his mind, Xia Chuan felt he should be more cautious and pressed further, "So it's a liqueur-filled chocolate? Did you add anything else?"

Joel shook his head, his expectant gaze fixed on Xia Chuan's face.

That's good. Natsukawa swallowed her anger and picked up the chocolate, breaking it in half. *Aww*
"How is it?" Joel asked expectantly, placing his hands on his chest and waiting for Xia Chuan's evaluation.

"Mmm! The aroma of liqueur and the rich flavor of chocolate blend together beautifully; it's delicious."

However, the next moment...
boom!
Xia Chuan seemed to be frozen in place, his smile frozen in time. Then, he closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and collapsed stiffly onto the sofa.

Joel:
Hey! Isn't this a bit too much?

Joel covered his mouth in disbelief and poked Xia Chuan's arm, only to find that there was no response.

If it weren't for the fact that he could still feel his heartbeat, Joel would have thought he had made a deadly poison.

Just then, Anya ran over quickly, holding a medicine bottle in her hand.

"Ania, why aren't you asleep yet?"

This little guy, could he have been peeking the whole time? Otherwise, he wouldn't have run out so quickly.

So, when he and Natsukawa kissed just now, besides his younger brother, Anya also saw it?

While Joel was lost in thought, Anya had already prepared herself in advance.
After Anya finished feeding the medicine, she ran away as fast as she could, afraid that Aunt Joel would also let her have a taste.

As for Aunt Joel's thoughts just now... hehe.

Not only did they see it, they also took a picture of it!

This video should be saved carefully. When Father and Aunt Joel get married in the future, we can play this video on the big screen. It will be very heartwarming.

"Eh"

Joel was unaware of the situation. This was not the time to concern himself with Anya. Was Xia Chuan alright in this state?

Also, why does the food I made turn out like this?!
The stew last time and the chocolate this time speak volumes.

She had only cooked for Yuri before, but Yuri never had this reaction. Could it be that Yuri has some kind of special constitution?
"Auntie Joel, Father will wake up soon. So, don't worry~"

Anya's voice came from the stairs, followed by a slam of the door shut.

Click.

The door was locked
Joel sighed, somewhat disappointed with her cooking skills, but the two failed attempts only fueled her competitive spirit.

Why should my work be like this? I don't believe it!

Joel decided that starting tomorrow, he would work hard to improve his cooking skills.

I've been working on this in isolation all along. I've always heard Yumi talk about how great her cooking is, so I'll go ask her for advice tomorrow.

She's about to become a wife and mother; if she can't even cook, she'd be embarrassed to be a mother.

Yor guarded Xia Chuan for an hour.

It wasn't until an hour later that Xia Chuan slowly woke up.

The moment Xia Chuan opened her eyes, before she could even speak to Yoel, she jumped high into the air and ran excitedly toward the bathroom.

Damn Dr. Ogawa, damn chocolate, damn Valentine's Day! Mrs. Minagawa must have poisoned the pot, that's why Joel's chocolate had this effect.

I almost lost my life.
Xia Chuan was unwilling to attribute her fainting to Yoel.

But let him cook next time.

For a girl like me, all I have to do is wait to eat.

Xia Chuan squatted there for an hour, and when he finally stood up, it was almost midnight.

Now he regrets it a bit. He shouldn't have played a trick on the two famous detectives. Only by experiencing it firsthand can one know the pain involved.

He knew Anya was giving him medicine. Although he was completely blind and weak when he was unconscious, he could still hear some sounds, just like a person in a vegetative state.

To be fair, this fainting spell wasn't entirely without its benefits. If Dr. Ogawa's laxative had been added directly to Joel's dish, it might have become a new type of poison.

It makes you dizzy for an hour, makes you squat on the toilet for an hour, and after you finish defecating, no problems can be found. What a useful poison!

Sometimes you just need something like this. At most, the other person will attribute the situation to food poisoning. It's incredibly useful!
