Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 174 Besieged on All Sides (Please Subscribe!)

At the Beihu Grand Hotel, Natsukawa pried open the door of a white sedan.

The back seat and trunk of the car were crammed with metal briefcases.

"You little punk, trying to pull this trick on me?"

Xia Chuan opened the metal briefcase and confirmed that it contained rows of brand-new 10,000-yuan banknotes.

There are ten suitcases in total, each containing 100 million yen, for a total of 1 billion yen.

This is why Akemi Miyano came to Beika Hotel.

Xia Chuan knew, of course, that the other party wouldn't obediently hand over 1 billion yen, which is why he had Frank observe where Miyano Akemi stayed the longest.

"Now it's time to watch the show."

The white sedan sped out of the Beika Hotel parking lot, and Natsukawa had already transferred one billion yen without Miyano Akemi's knowledge.

As for Akemi Miyano...

Tequila will definitely not go to see her, but Natsukawa will.

"Damn, why don't we just embezzle this money?" Frank was slurping his instant noodles into his mouth when he saw Xia Chuan open his suitcase. His eyes widened, and drool and noodles fell to the ground.

Xia Chuan quickly moved the suitcase to a different position to prevent it from being soiled.

“This is the key to gaining Gin’s complete trust. Don’t overthink it. It’s just a mere 1 billion yen. Just ask the IRS for it. Information about Hakuba Pharmaceuticals is definitely worth more than that.”

This is, after all, the brewery's research and development base in Japan, and its value is self-evident. Even if it were dismantled and the equipment sold, it would be worth more than 5 billion!

That's right, research equipment is that expensive, especially in this era, where the equipment is both immature and extremely expensive.

This is also why the cost of Sherry's research remains high.

Gin invests at least 500 million yen in Hakuju Pharmaceutical every month, not including other miscellaneous labor costs.

"Hehe, how about we take a whole case and tell Gin that Miyano Akemi hid it?"

"Get out! (ノ｀Д)ノ"

"okay!"

Xia Chuan gave Frank a disdainful look: "Eat less instant noodles. Look at your frizzy hair, it's probably a side effect of eating too many instant noodles. The more instant noodles you eat, the curlier your hair becomes."

Frank didn't care; Xia Chuan had no idea what the fun of eating instant noodles was.

The enticing aroma, the chewy texture, the satisfying bite, and the occasional sip of broth—Japanese instant noodles are truly delicious.

Compared to the trashy instant noodles in New York, instant noodles definitely have to be from Japan!!!

"Alright, that's enough. I need to hurry and find Conan."

After obtaining a location receiver from Frank, Natsukawa activated the GTR and headed to Conan's location.

Conan is moving in a certain direction.

It looks like it's on its way to Tokyo Bay.

"Yuri should have set off by now. The actors are all assembled. Now we just have to see how things develop."

Natsukawa's plan was to hand Miyano Akemi over to the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

He did not intend to take in Akemi Miyano.

This woman is notoriously unreliable; she swindled the distillery and then her sister. He's afraid of suffering the same fate.

Moreover, if he takes in the other party, his identity as Twilight will inevitably be exposed over time. Currently, only Frank knows his identity, and he doesn't want anyone else to know this secret.

If he takes the person in, he will not imprison them.

If they were to give the other party a chance to meet Shuichi Akai, they might expose themselves.

It would be better to hand her over to the police.

This would ensure her safety while preventing her from running away.

The police will definitely "protect" her once they arrest her—the kind of protection that prevents her from contacting others, leaving the house, or living a normal life.

Natsukawa didn't care what kind of treatment Miyano Akemi received, as long as she survived. This was simply so that Sherry wouldn't become all alone.

The setting sun at dusk made the quiet warehouse district appear even more dilapidated.

The roadside weeds and the extensive damage to the roofs of warehouses indicate that this area has been neglected for a long time.

Due to the economic downturn, import and export businesses suffered a severe blow, and Area 4, being part of the fourth...

A red sedan screeched to a halt on the side of the road.

Akemi Miyano loaded the pistol in the car and then took out a photo of her sister.

This must be the happiest time for my sister. Although she is still under the organization's surveillance, at least she has some freedom.

This photo was taken when my sister was studying in the United States. She has a bright smile in it, which is very different from how she looks now.

When I saw my sister that day, she was very happy, but the fatigue in her eyes was very obvious, and her fingers were rough from years of contact with experimental materials.

An eighteen-year-old girl should be in the prime of her youth, still in school, enjoying the first half of her life.

My sister has never even had a boyfriend.

Anyone who gets close to Gin will be ruthlessly eliminated, to the point that Gin has no friends at all.

Compared to myself, who grew up as an ordinary person, my younger sister has had a much worse life.

"Is this where it is?"

Akemi Miyano walked to the warehouse door and stared at the address sign for a long time.

Because no one had maintained it, the address sign was covered in dust, and only the upper half of 4-04 was vaguely visible. The warehouse was eerily quiet, with only the clatter of her high heels on the floor.

Arriving at the center of the warehouse, Akemi Miyano took out her phone to check the time.

6:20.

She arrived at the agreed location ahead of time, but given the organization's nature, Tequila would definitely arrive early as well.

So, where is tequila?
"Tequila! I know you're here, come out right now!" Akemi Miyano looked around and shouted, her voice echoing in the empty warehouse.

long time
Akemi Miyano looked rather grim. She had called out at least ten times since entering the warehouse, but where was everyone?

The watch showed 6:30.

Even though the appointed time had arrived, Tequila was nowhere to be seen.

Akemi Miyano took out her phone from her inner pocket and dialed Tequila's number.

After a long while, the call was connected.

Akemi Miyano showed no politeness and said fiercely, "Where are you? I've already arrived at the agreed location."

"Are you there yet? So fast! There's a bit of traffic here. Wait for me a moment, we'll be there soon."

Toot toot.
When the call was disconnected, Akemi Miyano clearly sensed something was wrong.

Something's not right. What does "Tequila" mean? There's no way the roads to Tokyo Bay would be congested at this hour. Do they think they came by bus?
Moreover, he would definitely arrive at the warehouse area in advance; he must be observing me from somewhere.

Akemi Miyano climbed the creaking steel stairs to the second floor of the warehouse and looked out the window to see what was happening outside.

"No?"

She walked around the warehouse, but apart from her own red car, she didn't see anyone else.

Suddenly, Akemi Miyano paused.

She noticed that, from the direction of the warehouse's back door, a black sedan drove through the container path and slowly stopped about 100 meters away from the warehouse.

"come yet?"

The black car certainly fits the organization's style of operation.

After the black car stopped, a man got out of the passenger seat.

"Two people?" Miyano Akemi frowned. After waiting for a while, the person in the driver's seat did not get out of the car, only the man in the passenger seat approached the warehouse.

"This person isn't Tequila!"

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she picked up her phone with some hesitation, preparing to call Tequila to confirm.

However, just as she picked up her phone to make a call, she discovered that another car had stopped where she had just parked.

This is a taxi.

etc.
Isn't that the license plate of the car that just took me to the Beihu Grand Hotel?

In an instant, Akemi Miyano's mind went completely blank.

trap!!?

At this moment, she had given up on the idea of ​​doing business with Tequila. The appearance of this car was too suspicious, and the person who got out of the black car behind was not Tequila. She now suspected that she had been betrayed by Tequila.

This guy definitely wants to do something.

As for what he's going to do, she can't guess yet, but one thing is for sure: it's definitely not a good thing!
The strange sound of her high heels clicking on the rusty steel stairs made her even more panicked.

She must leave now; staying any longer would be a death sentence.

However, when she got to the door, Miyano Akemi realized that the front door was directly opposite where she had parked her car. Although there was still a fifty-meter distance between them, the area was open on both sides, and she would be spotted as soon as she went out.
The back door was better, but the guy there looked more like an assassin from the organization, and his reason for being there was obvious—to kill her.

Instead of Tequila, an unfamiliar member of the organization showed up, and she knew the reason without even thinking.

No wonder they've been restricting her meetings with her sister lately; Gin probably already planned to kill her back then.

As she approached the front door, Akemi Miyano retreated step by step.

They are now in a dilemma, with danger on both sides.

That taxi driver in front of me might also be part of the organization.

So, she was under tight surveillance by the organization the whole time?
No wonder Tequila hung up the phone without caring where the billion yen went; he already knew he had hidden the stolen money in the parking lot of the Beika Hotel.

Akemi Miyano, feeling that she had deduced the truth, broke out in a cold sweat.

Only then did she remember that she still had a pistol with her. She hurriedly took it out and pointed it tremblingly at the front door.

It took her two seconds to realize that there was another assassin at the back door.

He then pointed the pistol at the back door.

Akemi Miyano:
There were people at both the front and back doors, and she only had one pistol, which seemed insufficient.

"Is this here?"

A childish, whispering voice drifted over, and although the voice sounded like a child's, Miyano Akemi had no idea.

The organization's Vermouth has the ability to change her voice, so why would they need to use Vermouth to kill him?
This guy wasn't very friendly to the sisters to begin with.

The organization definitely didn't intend to leave any survivors when they sent her out this time.

Akemi Miyano's last shred of hope was shattered, and she ran up to the second floor again.

The second floor is safer than the first floor, at least you won't be attacked from both sides.
