Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 184 Research Materials
Only hard-earned intelligence is valuable.

Let's keep Conan hanging and wait until the opportunity is right before telling him.

Moreover, judging from Conan's expression, he clearly wants to open up to him.

just forget it.

He didn't want Conan to reveal his true colors, because if he did, he would be on both the red and black sides, which would be too much for him to handle.

Now that he's become Gin's second-in-command, things will probably get more complicated in the future. If he runs into both sides, he won't be able to play both Natsukawa and Tequila at the same time.

Unless we call Kaito for help, eh, this seems like a good option.

While Natsukawa was lost in thought, Conan suddenly asked a question.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, do you think it's possible for an adult to turn into a child?"

"."

Sure enough, this little brat is ready to lay his cards on the table.

How should I respond? I definitely can't let the other party have their way.

Xia Chuan didn't know how to respond for a moment. After thinking for a few seconds, he casually replied, "You should watch less TV and read more books. Anyone who has read books knows the law of conservation of mass."

The mass of matter is conserved, and the idea that an adult can turn into a child does not conform to a scientific worldview.

He's usually so smart, why is he acting so foolish now? Watch two less episodes of Kamen Rider and do a few more practice problems.

Also, watch less Doraemon. Nobita isn't someone to emulate. Look at France and India; the anime was banned because Nobita was too stupid.

I've never even heard of Doraemon or Conan.

Considering it might be some cartoon that he doesn't like, it's normal that he wouldn't know.

However, when it came to the exercises, cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

I've heard the phrase "several pounds of homework" so many times today. What's wrong with these adults? How are children supposed to grow up happily like this?
The car was parked in front of Professor Agasa's house.

The two got out of the car one after the other, and Xia Chuan stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

The Agasa residence was still brightly lit; it seemed the reason they hadn't gone to sleep yet was because they were waiting for Conan.

This is a great opportunity to meet Professor Agasa, who is the most unscientific scientist in the world of Detective Conan. I've heard so much about him.

Besides, he also wanted to see what Conan's intentions were in coming to Professor Agasa's house so late at night.

Soon, Dr. Agasa, wearing a white lab coat and sporting a beer and fried chicken belly, appeared at the door.

Professor Agasa and Terai Kinosuke have very similar hairstyles, both with shiny slicks-back hair on top and hair left on the sides.

Their body types are at opposite ends of the spectrum: one is extremely fat, and the other is as thin as a bamboo pole.

It does resemble gin and vodka somewhat.

"New Conan, you've finally arrived."

Professor Agasa opened the door and found another person beside him.

The other person was standing near the doorbell and their view was blocked, so he only noticed them now. Luckily, he spoke quickly and almost said something inappropriate.

"Who is this?"

"This is Anya's father, the one I mentioned to the Doctor."

"So you're Anya's father. Anya often mentions you; you're just as handsome as she described." Professor Agasa smiled and nodded.

After introducing Natsukawa, Conan turned around and introduced Professor Agasa to Natsukawa: "This is Professor Agasa, a very amazing inventor."

"So you are the legendary Professor Agasa. I haven't been in Japan long, but I've already heard a lot of legends about him. Conan's watch and shoes are also Professor Agasa's products, right?"

Upon hearing others talk about his Conan-themed products, Professor Agasa immediately woke up from his sleepiness. "Haha, yes, it's something I made casually when I was bored. It's not very useful, but at least it can protect Conan."

after all"

Xia Chuan nodded, after all, Conan was reckless when solving cases, which often led to suspects suddenly attacking and injuring people.

When I was seventeen, I had some ability to protect myself, but now that I'm a primary school student, there are many things I can't do.

"This is no casual creation; it's an absolutely groundbreaking product. I'm willing to bet that even twenty or thirty years from now, it will be difficult to find such imaginative wearable items."

Anesthesia needles are relatively easy to develop; they're not particularly difficult to make. I estimate that someone will be able to develop one in a few years.

These power-enhancing shoes are truly amazing. They look exactly like ordinary shoes, yet they can generate hundreds of kilograms of force when kicked, and judging from Conan's experience after each kick, they don't cause any damage to his feet.

This is also outrageous.

If this thing were included in the World Cup, the number of people jumping off buildings worldwide this year would probably increase several times over.

What? There's a goalkeeper?

No problem, as long as I gently turn the knob, the ball, the goalkeeper, and the goal will become one.

Natsukawa always felt that Aoyama's inspiration for inventing the foot strength-enhancing shoes came from Captain Tsubasa.

Because Conan hadn't mentioned anyone else coming when he called earlier, Professor Agasa was confused and could only invite both of them inside.

There was nothing he could do; Anya's father spoke very pleasantly, which suited his taste perfectly.

Unlike Anya, who often choked him and mocked his riddles as lame jokes.

The father and daughter are truly worlds apart.

The front half of Professor Agasa's house is a duplex layout, with a very spacious first floor where instruments and equipment can be seen everywhere.

They even have a set of smart beds developed by Giantwood Enterprises. Although the design seems to have changed a bit, it is essentially the same smart bed product from Giantwood Enterprises.

Xia Chuan, with his sharp eyes, quickly scanned the room and confirmed that the total value of the various appliances in the living room was no less than one billion.

Computers are a small part; the main focus is on scientific research instruments.

This doesn't even include the products that Professor Agasa modified; clearly, the value of this living room is much higher than what he estimated.

He also discovered something outrageous: Dr. Agasa's house was full of surveillance cameras.

It can be seen from any angle.

After thinking about it, I realized that there are also entrance halls and entryways.

It seems that the entire villa is like this.

That makes sense. After all, the living room is so valuable, the research lab is even more valuable. Installing surveillance cameras is reasonable, and there might even be alarm systems connected to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Let me pour you some tea."

Natsukawa made a very good first impression on Professor Agasa. He was a very proper gentleman, and with his antique green suit, he looked like a Western European nobleman from the 18th or 19th century.

This kind of gentleman must like to drink black tea, right?
Seeing that Professor Agasa was about to pour tea, Natsukawa waved his hand to stop him.

"I just brought Conan here to pick up his weekend homework. There's no need for tea. Thank you so much, Professor Agasa."

"No, after all, Conan is the child of a distant relative of mine, so these things are nothing." Professor Agasa chuckled, stroking his bald head, and glanced at Conan, waiting for an explanation.

Homework and stuff, what's going on here?

Before Shinichi arrived, he told him that he was going to Shinjuku to retrieve something that Akemi Miyano had asked him to do.

At first, he thought that Natsukawa might be an accomplice hired by Shinichi.

Now it seems that's not the case.

Thankfully, I didn't call Shinichi by his first name when I first met him.

"Why don't you go back first, Uncle Xia Chuan?"

I'll just sleep at Professor Agasa's house tonight, and go straight to school tomorrow.

Therefore, Uncle Xia Chuan doesn't need to take me home.

"It's so late, Uncle Natsukawa, you should go home and get some sleep." "You haven't finished your homework yet, have you?" Natsukawa squinted at Conan, offering him a plausible excuse.

"Yes, yes. Uncle Natsukawa found out, so I'm going to catch up on my homework at Professor Agasa's house."

Conan almost blurted out: "How could a high school student like me not have finished elementary school homework? These questions wouldn't take me more than a few minutes to do."

But when I think about my current level, I feel a little disappointed.

So annoying, I want to grow up.

Natsukawa looked at Professor Agasa, "Professor Agasa, what about Conan?"

"It's okay, Conan can stay with me. I'll take him to school tomorrow."

"But Conan, you probably didn't tell Ran and Uncle Mori, did you? If Ran doesn't see anyone when she wakes up tomorrow morning, she'll definitely be very worried."

"Don't worry, Uncle Xia Chuan, I'll call Sister Xiao Lan first thing tomorrow morning."

Conan just wants to get rid of Natsukawa as soon as possible, and then go find something that Miyano Akemi left at her Shinjuku residence.

Since they can't be of any help to me for the time being, there's no need for them to stay; I should send them away as soon as possible.

It's so late already, I wonder if Akemi Miyano has told the Public Security Bureau about that thing.

Now, he must hurry!

"I understand." Natsukawa and Professor Agasa chatted for a few more minutes, mainly about their research.

Although I'm not a science expert, as a spy, I need to know a little about everything, so naturally I'm never short of topics to discuss.

The two were so engrossed in their conversation that Conan grew a little impatient, at which point Natsukawa chuckled and said goodbye.

After seeing Natsukawa off, Conan's childlike expression suddenly turned serious. He checked the time and discovered that Yuri had broken his watch.

"Professor Agasa, could you also fix my watch while you're at it?"

"I understand, but it's almost three o'clock. If we go to that place you mentioned now, will the things still be there?"

Dr. Agasa couldn't help but worry.

Shinichi had told him everything. It seemed that Akemi Miyano had some research data on drugs from the Black Organization, which was hidden in Akemi Miyano's Shinjuku residence.

However, more than six hours have passed since Akemi Miyano was taken away by the police. If she had any research data, could she have already informed the police?

If the police already know and have even taken the items, wouldn't it be a waste of their time if the two of them went there in the middle of the night?
Moreover, the police might leave some people to monitor them, so both he and Conan would be at risk of being arrested.

At that point, forget about their identity; they'll probably be sent straight to the lab for dissection.

To be honest, when he first found out that Shinichi had shrunk, he had the urge to slice him into pieces.

If the two hadn't been close friends despite their age difference, and if the Kudo family hadn't provided him with countless research grants, he might have already taken action.

"No matter what, I have to go and see." Conan took a deep breath, knowing Professor Agasa's concerns, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

He wanted to get his hands on that research data even if there was only the slightest chance.

With the information in hand, Dr. Agasa's talent in scientific research will surely lead to an antidote.
Soon, a yellow Volkswagen Beetle sped out of the villa.

"So, it was for that thing."

As he turned the corner, Xia Chuan pulled off his headphones; he had heard their conversation clearly.

"Little Conan, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

Xia Chuan had already taken this document yesterday.

Sherry accidentally sent her research materials to Akemi Miyano a few years ago, and they should be at Masami Hirota's house now.

The research progress a few years ago is very different from now. If Conan gets the latest research data, Haibara and Professor Agasa could work together to develop an antidote for Drug A very quickly. To be on the safe side, we'll confiscate it for now.

I will return it when the time is right.

Otherwise, if the plot hasn't progressed much and Conan suddenly turns back into Shinichi Kudo, wouldn't all that effort be for nothing?

If Shinichi Kudo were to emerge with his big heart and solve a few more cases, and the newspapers were to hype up the return of the savior of the Japanese police, Gin would be hunting down the entire Kudo family. This is not the outcome that Natsukawa wants to see.

In truth, he did this for Conan's own good.

The whole family are ordinary people. Apart from being a little smart, they are practically nonexistent in terms of combat skills, so they definitely can't withstand Gin's crazy assassination attempts.

This is the "hero" who dared to fire at the Tokyo Tower and destroy a submarine.

The safest situation is now for the winery to be in the open while Conan remains in the shadows.

Conan's late-night outing is destined to end in failure.

Back in time.

In the underground base of the public security bureau.

Yuri sat in the interrogation room, his hands clasped together, his eyes blazing.

Across from them stood Akemi Miyano, a member of the brewery's external network who had just been arrested.

At this moment, Akemi Miyano looked haggard. It wasn't because of Yuri's torture, but because she had stayed up all night and experienced so much today, so it was inevitable that she would be mentally exhausted.

Where is your sister?

"do not know."

"Where is the organization's base in Tokyo?"

"do not know."

Why didn't the tequila arrive at the trading location tonight?

"do not know."

"what do you know?"

"I know nothing."

"."

Yuri rubbed his forehead, somewhat impatiently saying, "If you continue to be so uncooperative, I might have to resort to drastic measures."

"I'm just an outer member and have never been to the base. Every time I meet with Tequila, it's a location they choose on the spot. I only know that my sister is in the Beika or Beika area, and maybe the organization's research base is in that area, but I don't know the exact location."

My sister didn't dare tell me the location of the base either.

But every time we meet, it's in Mihana and Beika, so it must be somewhere nearby.

As for why Tequila didn't come today, I'd like to know that too. However, I'm more curious about how your police obtained the specific location information for this transaction.

Conan was lucky; the other party had already spotted him at the Mika International Hotel and installed a tracking device in the taxi he was in. They then happened to see her change cars and leave, which is how they found him.

The situation with the police is a bit strange.

She appeared stealthily, right in warehouse 4-04 in Tokyo Bay, not long after she and Tequila had settled their relationship.

Moreover, they didn't bring many people with them, only two people came, which is not in line with the police's operating style.

Although the police's arrest operations are relatively secretive, there are definitely many plainclothes officers involved.

Either the two of them are stupid, or they know something.

Suspicious, too suspicious.

Looking back now, she has some doubts about the tequila's identity.

Tequila's behavior today was too strange; traffic jams and all that? Nobody believes that.

Just like Conan, no! Just like Shinichi Kudo guessed, there must be some big gossip and secret here.
