Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 147 confirms that all those who took the drug are dead.

When it comes to money, even Baileys, who is currently on a mission, can be released. It seems that Baileys isn't very busy. I wonder what mission she's on.

"Bourbon is in Japan too?" Natsukawa asked in surprise.

He had assumed Bourbon was in Europe or America, since he had been infiltrating the distillery for some time and had never heard Gin mention Bourbon's name.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Just tell me the money-making opportunities you've come up with!"

Gin's voice was much colder, and the static on the phone disappeared, indicating that he had just parked.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a lighter being lit rang out, followed by the sound of smoke billowing out.

Clearly, Gin was waiting for his answer.

In order to improve his position in the distillery and learn more about the industry, Xia Chuan came up with a terrible idea.

Actually, it's not so bad. He still has humanitarianism, and his bad ideas aren't directed at anyone.

"You know the Suzuki Group, Japan's top conglomerate, right?" Natsukawa chuckled, not bothering to keep her in suspense any longer. "I've heard that Suzuki Jirokichi, the Suzuki Group's advisor, is very wealthy and extremely generous."

"You mean kidnapping the Suzuki Group's advisor?" Gin's voice turned cold, somewhat displeased.

Isn't this a terrible idea? As one of Japan's top conglomerates, the Suzuki Group is under a lot of scrutiny. Doesn't Tequila know how much trouble kidnapping Suzuki Jirokichi will cause?

"Of course not, Suzuki Jirokichi definitely can't move, but..."

"But what? Speak up, or I'll shoot you dead."

Gin's personality made it clear that Natsukawa didn't mind and finished speaking:

"I heard that Jirokichi Suzuki owns a dog that he loves dearly. It is said that Jirokichi Suzuki bought a luxury villa for this dog named Lupin, and that it is always chauffeured around, has seven or eight dog nannies, and even its dog bowl is studded with diamonds. This must be the richest dog in the world."

"If we could kidnap this dog, we could probably get a lot of money from Suzuki Jirokichi. That amount would definitely be no less than what Miyano Akemi would get from robbing a bank, and might even be more."

Jirokichi Suzuki could spend billions of yen on a sunflower painting, so it goes without saying that he would spend even more on his favorite dog.

Xia Chuan's speculation was a conservative estimate; if there were indeed kidnappings, the number would only be more, not less.

Vodka swallowed hard, his eyes gleaming.

Then look at the extortion documents in your hand.
The 500 million ransom suddenly lost its appeal.

Damn it! Tying up that dog named Lupin seems like a better deal. I can't believe I didn't think of that good idea. Tequila beat me to it. How infuriating!
"Given Suzuki Jirokichi's personality, if his dog were kidnapped, he would definitely not choose to call the police immediately; he would certainly prepare the ransom obediently."

For wealthy people like this, anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem. He'd much rather pay the ransom than risk police intervention and putting the dog's life in danger.

After Xia Chuan finished speaking, the other side remained silent.

Gin was calculating the gains and losses, but after a long time, he realized that he only gained and had no losses.

“I will consider it; it’s a really good idea.”

Gin praised Natsukawa a few more times, subtly expressing his admiration.

Xia Chuan hung up the phone and sighed.

Yuanzi, it's all your fault for showing off your luxury car in front of me. I never expected it to be from your family.

the next morning.

Xia Chuan arrived at Baijiu Pharmaceutical early in the morning.

Upon learning that Sherry had gone to the research lab again, Natsukawa was certain of his guess.

With research materials out of supply during this period, Shirley certainly wouldn't be in the lab unless she had to. Therefore! There's only one reason why she'd be glued to the lab at this time!
Compare Conan's and Shinichi Kudo's hair!
The experiment came to a standstill, and while everyone else was enjoying their hard-won moment of relaxation, Shirley was the only one left in the entire laboratory.

Xia Chuan walked over and found Shirley staring blankly at the report in her hand, so much so that she didn't even notice his arrival.

"What are you looking at?"

Shirley was startled, her hand trembled, and the report fell to the ground.

Xia Chuan chuckled and helped pick it up, putting it back on the table. Glancing at it out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the name field on the report listed both Shinichi Kudo and Conan Edogawa.

So, it has already been discovered?
"Why are you here?" Shirley asked, trying to appear calm, as she finished organizing the report and put it in a folder.

"How was it? I sent you out for a few days to get some fresh air. How did it go? Did you find a breakthrough in the research of drug A?"

“No, all the people who took the drug died, so it’s not a useful reference.” With that, Shirley typed a few words on the computer, and then a list popped up from the printer.

"It has been confirmed that all those who took the drug have died. Here is the list. It seems that APTX4869 is still a long way from success."

She checked the list in her hand, then handed it to Xia Chuan and said, "This list still needs your signature."

Xia Chuan did not immediately take the list, but instead showed a half-smile: "That's a real pity. I thought you could discover something extraordinary."

“No!” Shirley shook her head in affirmation.

Shirley felt that Tequila was acting strangely. Compared to their previous meetings, Tequila seemed different these two times, as if she were a completely different person.

Didn't Gin notice this change? I always feel that Tequila's gaze is creepy.

Every time I talk to myself, I feel like he can see through all my thoughts, and this feeling is very uncomfortable.

Actually, this was only directed at Sherry. Natsukawa was still quite proper in front of Gin. The reason he acted like this in front of Sherry was partly to tease her, but mainly he wanted Sherry to discover that there was something wrong with the Tequila disguise.

This concerns Xia Chuan's future plans.

"Since you've said so, I'll sign it then, but I'll still show it to Gin later."

"It doesn't matter."

Sherry shrugged and sneered, "But I advise you not to get too close to Gin. That guy kills without blinking an eye, and the only person he trusts is Vodka. You'd better stay away from him."

"You don't need to worry about that, Miss Sherry. I'm not working for Gin, I'm working for the boss."

"Heh!" Shirley crossed her arms, showing her disdain.

"I need to meet with my sister. When can you arrange that?"

More than anything else, she cared about her sister, and she also wanted to find a way to give her sister the information she had found. If her sister held the leverage, Gin would definitely have some reservations.

"In a few days!"

Xia Chuan frowned in thought. This could probably only be arranged after Gin decided whether to take action against the big dog.

If we want to save Miyano Akemi, then we must distract Gin with other more important matters. Otherwise, given Gin's cautious nature, he might take matters into his own hands and deal with Miyano Akemi himself.

Shirley clearly didn't know that Xia Chuan was doing this for her own good, and she looked annoyed, seeing that her sister wouldn't even give in on such a small matter, showing no sincerity whatsoever.

Because her older sister was still under the other party's control, she could only swallow her anger.

However, if he meets Gin later, he will definitely complain about Tequila!

They say that Agave is disrespectful to her elders and has improper thoughts about her!
