Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 163 Pay attention to safety
Conan scrambled to his feet by the sofa and shook his head vigorously to clear his head.

After being pressed by Xia Chuan, my vision, which had just returned to normal, started to blur again.

Conan's gaze swept over the pool of blood on Hamano Toshiya, and his face darkened as he ran towards the entrance. Tanaka Kikue was far too arrogant, actually killing someone right in front of him; this humiliation completely ignited his competitive spirit.

Anya glanced at her father, then at Conan who had run off into the distance, hesitated for two seconds before making a decision, and stealthily followed Conan.

Xia Chuan's attention was entirely focused on the window and Hamano Toshiya, so he didn't notice the situation until he heard the click of the door opening. Only then did he realize that his beloved daughter had run off with someone.

The scene was somewhat chaotic, with everyone lying on the ground in confusion, except for Anya and Conan, who had disappeared.

Xia Chuan took a deep breath, feeling the veins on his forehead throbbing. Combined with the sound of the door opening just now, it was obvious what Conan and Anya were up to.

That damn Conan! He actually took my daughter to chase after the murderer, who has a crossbow.

Xia Chuan quickly stood up and ran towards the door.

Kaito called out from behind, but Natsukawa didn't move and disappeared in a flash.

He looked down and glanced again at Hamano Toshiya in his arms.

At this moment, Hamano Toshiya's pupils began to dilate, and his previously raised arm had fallen limply, indicating that he was beyond saving.

Kaito called over Ara Ize, who had just come to his senses, to take his place, and then quickly chased after him.

He had witnessed Natsukawa kill someone with his own eyes. The other person's expression was clearly not good just now. Kaito was afraid that if he arrived too late, Sukane and Tanaka Kikue would be killed by Natsukawa.

Taking a life without legal trial goes against Kaito's principles, and he must stop Natsukawa.

Xia Chuan didn't hear Kaito's inner thoughts, otherwise he would have sneered and retorted, "What right does a notorious thief who's constantly being chased by the police have to criticize him? We're all equally bad."

In the snow and ice, several figures crossed the open space in front of the villa and entered the forest.

Natsukawa followed the footprints in the snow with great speed and soon found Conan and Anya.

The two children's cheeks were red from the cold, but they kept walking and chasing after each other.

Xia Chuan, without suspecting anything, picked up the two children and brought the car to a sudden stop.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, let me go! If we don't catch these two, they're going to escape!"

Conan, like a sulking child, twisted and turned, but Natsukawa didn't give him a chance and scooped both children into his arms.

"Father," Anya whispered, obediently remaining still.

Her father's angry expression was so obvious that she couldn't help but be afraid.

"You still dare to speak!" Xia Chuan snorted coldly and continued, "Don't run around, I'll go after them. The suspension bridge has been burned down, and there's no way to get down the mountain now. They can't escape."

Xia Chuan pointed at Conan's nose and instructed, "Take Anya back the way you came, and don't wander off, or I'll tell Uncle Mori that you can forget about ever following Ran out again!"

The fierce expression startled Conan.

Conan nodded in agreement. Just as Natsukawa said, with the suspension bridge burned down, Sugami and Tanaka Kikue had no way out and couldn't leave even if they ran.

Moreover, given Uncle Xia Chuan's skills, those two people should be no match for him.

"I understand." Conan nodded and watched Natsukawa chase after him.

After the two children stopped, they suddenly realized how cold it was outside and walked shivering toward the villa.

Soon, a nimble fat man appeared before them.

The reason it is described as agile is that although Doi Takaki weighs 200 pounds, he runs as lightly as a swallow, and feels no resistance at all when stepping on the fluffy snow. His speed is obviously not much slower than Natsukawa's.

"Eh"

Conan tried to say hello, but Kaito ignored him and walked past him.

Only a gust of cold wind remained, making Conan's little face sting.

"So fast!" Conan muttered, watching Doi Takaki's departing figure. The strange feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger. What exactly went wrong? There was something very wrong with Doi Takaki.

A few seconds later, Conan suddenly frowned and looked down to examine the footprints left by Doi Takaki.

"Conan, what are you doing? What's so interesting about footprints?"

Seeing that Conan ignored him, Anya also squatted down, and the two children stared at the footprints for a long time.

"I see!" After a while, Conan gathered his thoughts and everything suddenly became clear.

He finally realized what was wrong with Doi Takaki.

He ran so fast that despite weighing over 200 pounds, he seemed as light as a feather. His footprints on the ground were similar to Xia Chuan's, which was not what one would expect from a 200-pound person.

The depth of the footprints is seriously inconsistent with the body size and weight!

Then there's the name Doi Takaki.

This name also has a lot of problems.

He had previously thought the name was rather unusual, but now he suddenly realized that it might be just a pseudonym, like the name Conan Edogawa.

For example, break down the character "土井塔克树" into its pinyin, then reverse the pinyin—it becomes "Kaito Kid!!"

Conan turned and gave Anya a strange look.

Anya insisted on taking a photo with Doi Takaki from the very beginning. Did she already know all along?

But how did she know that? Did Uncle Xia Chuan tell her?

Perhaps while in the chat room, Uncle Natsukawa had already discovered that Doi Takaki was a problematic person.

There is another possibility!
He saw Natsukawa and Doi Takaki together several times, and there is a possibility that Natsukawa knows Kaito Kid.

wrong.

Conan considered for a moment and put the idea out of his mind. Back then, Natsukawa had directly stopped Kaito Kid, so they probably wouldn't know each other. Even if they did, they shouldn't be standing together talking.

Perhaps the two of them talked multiple times today simply because they had more to talk about in the chat room.

"Ania, why did you take a picture with Mr. Doi Takaki when you first arrived at the villa?"

Conan decided to ask Anya directly; the girl looked so innocent and adorable, it should be easy to get information out of her.

"Because I'm going to show the photo to Yuan Tai. If he continues to eat eel rice, he'll look like this in ten years."

Anya had already prepared an excuse: "You also think that Brother Keshu is too fat, right? Go back and help me persuade Genta. He'll definitely be a rising star if he loses weight!"

"."

Conan rolled his eyes and shook his head speechlessly. It seemed that the two of them just had more to talk about in the chat room, so they only chatted together when they met in person.

I wonder what Uncle Natsukawa would think if he knew that Doi Takaki was Kid.

It's funny to think that you've become online friends with the phantom thief who robbed you.

However, the thought of Kaito Kid's appearance made Conan pause in his steps back to the villa, his heart filled with restless desire.

He desperately wanted to expose the identity of Phantom Thief Kid.

Why would a phantom thief join a magic enthusiasts' chat room and even know Harui Fuden? Perhaps this detail could reveal the true identity of Phantom Thief Kid.

Conan pondered for a moment, considering that the Phantom Thief's methods were always related to magic performances, could it be explained that the Phantom Thief Kid's public identity was also a magician?

In that case, we might be able to get some information from Kikue Tanaka. The legend of Harui Fu might have left some clues about the true identity of Phantom Thief Kid.

"Ania, I'm a little worried about you going back to the villa. I'll go check on things." Conan took out two palm-sized chocolates from his pocket, which he had prepared in advance.

Knowing that Anya would be coming along, he prepared Anya's favorite sweets.

This is the perfect time.

Anya:
"What do you take me for? You think you can bribe me with two palm-sized chocolates? I'm going with you. As the leader of the Junior Detective League, I won't abandon any member."

Conan silently pulled a bag of shelled peanuts from another pocket.

"be careful."

"."

Anya readily accepted the bribe. It was too cold outside, and she didn't want to be exposed to the cold wind. Anyway, she had already taken a picture of Doi Takaki. As long as the case made the news, she could take the newspaper and the photo of herself with Kaito Kid to school to show off.
