Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 298 Another prison break?

After Ryuji Takeda admitted it, all the questions were answered.

The group found Robert Taylor's letter from three years ago in Shinichi Takeda's room.

It is obvious that Shinichi Takeda did not give this letter to Misa Takeda, and it is even very likely that he forged another letter to disgust Misa Takeda.

Conan also accidentally discovers the hidden secret of the puppets made by Shinichi Takeda.

The hollow parts of these puppets are filled with anesthetic, which is why they are so expensive.

Heiji Hattori finally found out who had invited him.

The person who sent him the letter was none other than his accomplice, Takeda Tomoe.

The reason for sending the letter is very simple.

She happened to be at the scene when Ryuji Takeda killed Negishi.

After learning the cause of his daughter's death, Ryuji Takeda was furious. The death of Negishi completely unleashed the demons in his heart, and he did not intend to stop there. He also wanted to kill Shinichi Takeda.

Unable to report her grief-stricken son, Chie Takeda could only resort to outsiders to stop the tragedy.

So, while helping Ryuji Takeda commit crimes, she hoped that the detective she found could solve the case and stop the tragedy of the Takeda family.

As the initial source of the tragedy, this was the only way she could think of.

When all the details and reasons for the case were revealed to everyone, everyone fell silent.

Four people died within three years, and the root of it all was Shinichi Takeda's infertility.

After admitting to the murder, Ryuji Takeda surrendered and was imprisoned on the first floor of the warehouse.

Murder is murder, no matter how compelling the reasons, it cannot be judged by the law.

Since Takeda Chie, as an accomplice, was of little use and was also quite old, Natsukawa and his group did not choose to subdue her, but instead had Iwatani keep her in his bedroom.

However, even though the culprit has been apprehended, tonight will still be a sleepless night for Conan.

why?

the reason is simple!
If the culprit wasn't taken away by the police in time on the night he was caught, there would definitely be problems. Knowing that the police couldn't get to the scene, Conan decided to stake out the area.

Conan has a severe phobia of the murderer being locked in a dark room.

Therefore, he decided to stay in the warehouse and guard Takeda Ryuji.

Of course, this time was different; he had an extra helper.

"Hey, Kudo, is this really necessary?"

In a secluded corner of the warehouse, Hattori Heiji yawned.

I'm so sleepy.

Especially since Ryuji Takeda was already asleep, it was very uncomfortable to see others asleep while having to force yourself to stay awake.

"Of course it's necessary. You don't know, there's never peace wherever Uncle Xia Chuan is. Cases that happen there are often follow-ups! Especially during the time when the murderer is locked up in a dark room."

Conan was acting strangely, and when he thought about his previous experiences, he felt a little overwhelmed.

Once, twice, and absolutely not a fourth time!

The determined detective was very resolute; even with his eyes bloodshot, he kept his eyes fixed on Ryuji Takeda, not daring to look away for a moment.

"That's possible, but why bring Anya along?"

Hattori turned to look at Anya, who was lying in the corner asleep, her breathing steady and without any snoring, looking very well-behaved and cute.

"."

Conan's forehead creased with annoyance, and he opened his mouth as if to speak but didn't know where to begin.

This is not something he can control.

Anya came along on her own, threatening to tell Xiaolan if she wasn't allowed to come.

To avoid any further complications, he had no choice but to agree.

"Does Brother Xia Chuan know?"

"You should know, right?" Conan remembered that when Anya secretly followed him over, Natsukawa stood at the door of the room and glanced at her.

Whether he was comfortable having Anya by his side or genuinely felt there was no danger, Xia Chuan did not stop Anya's actions.

However, it seems there was no need to stop her now. The little girl couldn't stay up all night; she got sleepy after squatting for a while.

Once asleep, they can hide in a corner and won't be noticed even if someone comes.

"It's already past 2 a.m. If they don't show up by 3 a.m., I'm going to go back to my room to sleep."

If there were evidence, that would be fine, but right now there is absolutely no evidence that anyone is planning a prison break, so Zhen Guanxi has absolutely no interest in it.

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen, and it will appear very soon."

Conan said confidently, "If you don't show up, I'll admit that your detective skills are better than mine."

In order to keep Heiji Hattori as a fighting force, Conan risked his reputation.

"Strange, I feel like I've heard this phrase somewhere before, but I think I heard it from Grandpa Gambler."

Heiji Hattori muttered something under his breath, not taking Conan's words to heart.

Becoming the number one detective in Japan definitely requires one's own abilities; how can one rely on others' gifts?

Clearly, he still doesn't believe it, and the only reason he hasn't left is out of friendship.

"I'm going to take a nap. Someone will come and wake me up later."

Hattori muttered something under his breath and found a suitable angle to lean against the wall.

ka ka ka-

Kaka-

Just a few minutes after Hattori closed his eyes, he heard a strange noise.

I was already feeling unwell from not sleeping, and hearing noise made it even worse.

"Stop messing around, be quiet!"

Hattori didn't even lift his eyelids, but stretched out his arm to try and stop Conan's restless behavior.

However, this move missed!
At first, he thought the commotion was caused by Conan and didn't pay much attention. But now that he suddenly couldn't see Conan on camera, he was completely bewildered.

Hattori felt a chill run down his spine, and the constant "clicking" sound reminded him of the legend of the Spider Fairy of Puppet Ridge.

Speaking of which, if there were a very large spider, its legs would probably make this kind of sound when they step on a wooden floor, right?

Hattori suddenly opened his eyes and found that Conan had indeed disappeared.

"Damn it, I've only had my eyes closed for a few minutes and they've already pulled this kind of trick on me?"

He turned around and found Anya still sleeping peacefully beside him, which put Hattori at ease.

Only then did he realize that the sound wasn't coming from beside him, but from the direction of the gate.

Conan's disappearance was probably due to checking the source of the noise, and with that thought, Hattori felt much more at ease.

"Hey, Kudo, where are you?"

Hattori muttered something under his breath, but received no response.

Perhaps the sound was too soft, but it was enough to prove that Conan had left his side.

Hattori stood up and looked in the direction of Takeda Ryuji. He was relieved to find that the other man was still sitting there sleeping with his hands still bound behind his back.

In that instant, he caught a glimpse of Conan behind the door and immediately noticed the source of the noise.

Conan met his gaze and put his finger to his lips.

Hattori remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on the door.

The warehouse's main entrance used an old-fashioned wooden bolt lock. At that moment, a small knife was being inserted through the crack in the door, and the "click-click" sound was the sound of the knife sliding against the old-fashioned bolt.

"Hattori-nii, what happened?" Anya rubbed her sleepy eyes and curiously looked around, seeing the scene at the door. "Is it a thief? Is someone trying to steal Sae and Emi's father?"

Anya's drowsiness vanished instantly; Conan's thoughts hadn't been ignored after all—there's going to be a good show!

The little girl didn't even consider whether she could win or not; she was a super-skilled spy, why would she be afraid of these things?

Last time in Izu, even Ai Haibara was scared out of her wits. Could anyone be more terrifying than Ai Haibara, who gave her homework?
impossible!

"Bo!"

Hattori stopped Anya from speaking and waited intently for the person to open the door.

At this moment, he finally began to admire Conan, who truly deserved to be called a famous detective on par with him.

But isn't this sixth sense a bit too terrifying? How did he guess that someone was trying to break him out of prison when there wasn't a single clue?
Conan has no idea what Hattori is thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

He was ready to strike, having turned on the power-enhancing shoe. If the other party dared to walk in brazenly, he would give them a good kick in the butt.

Soon, thanks to the persistent efforts of the person outside, the latch was opened, and then the door was pushed open.

Conan and Hattori held their breath and stared intently, then both showed expressions of astonishment.

"It's actually him?"

Hattori was shocked by Kudo's amazing reasoning ability, which allowed him to know that someone was going to break into the prison tonight without him noticing at all; on the other hand, he was also extremely curious that the person who came was Robert Taylor.

However, Robert Taylor at this time was completely different from the one during the day.

During the day, Rob Taylor looked like an ordinary person, and he didn't even show such a terrifying expression when he learned of Misa's death. Now, he seemed like a different person, with an indifferent expression and murderous intent in his eyes, like a ferocious beast that would devour its prey.

Hattori was shocked; perhaps this was Robert Taylor's true nature.

Because this expression is so natural, it doesn't seem forced.

"Another prison break? And it's Brother Radish again! He looks so handsome, only slightly less so than Father." Anya couldn't help but mutter, "But why does Brother Radish seem so dull during the day, and like a completely different person at night? Is he one of those hermaphrodites with two personalities, one during the day and one at night?"

"Please, that's schizophrenia, not intersex."

Hattori Heiji couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but offer an explanation.

However, it was this very sound that Rob Taylor noticed something amiss.

Just now, because the door blocked the sound from entering, Robert Taylor could easily hear Hattori and Anya's conversation without those obstructions.

"Looks like there are two little bugs inside."

Robert Taylor's gaze swept across the first floor, finally settling on the shelf behind Ryuji Takeda's left.

The row of shelves wasn't against the wall, and there was clearly space behind it, so he immediately determined that the sound was coming from there.

"Oops!"

Conan looked pale and unwell. He hadn't expected Hattori to be exposed. Since that was the case, he had no choice but to strike first!
Robert Taylor's eyes flashed coldly as he gently closed the door and sneered, "Stop hiding, I see you."

There was no sound in the room, except for Ryuji Takeda, who suddenly opened his eyes in confusion upon hearing the noise.

"Robert, what brings you here?"

Ryuji Takeda and Robert Taylor were not actually very close. Three years ago, when Robert Taylor was injured and stayed at the Takeda family's house, Ryuji Takeda only had a few conversations with him, and their relationship could only be described as ordinary.

He never expected the other party to appear here at this time.

"What are you going to do?"

Robert Taylor did not answer, his gaze fixed on the back of the shelf.

"Conan?"

Robert Taylor was startled and noticed out of the corner of his eye that when Ryuji Takeda called out Conan's name, he was looking in his direction.

His reaction speed was extremely fast; he turned his head immediately.

The whistling wind echoed in his ears as a short leg came toward his waist.

Robert Taylor instantly stepped back to dodge the attack.

Snapped--

Although the kick didn't reach Rob Taylor's backside, it still hit the goalposts with tremendous force, creating a hole the size of a shoehorn and sending splinters flying.

A loud noise rang out, and Robert Taylor couldn't understand why his impromptu decision had been discovered, and now someone was lying in wait for him, but now was not the time to think about such things.

The commotion here is likely to attract attention.

He reached in and grabbed Conan, lifting him up like a little chick.

"come out!"

Hattori Heiji's lips twitched. Damn, this teammate just dropped out way too fast!
He gestured for Anya not to move and walked straight out from behind the shelf.

“Mr. Robert Taylor, it’s past 2 a.m., why are you here?”

Although Conan was arrested, the questions still need to be asked. Could it be that Ryuji Takeda had more than one accomplice, and even Robert Tyler was one of his accomplices?
Thinking about it, it's not impossible.

Misa Takeda is the person Robert Taylor likes, and Ryuji Takeda is Misa Takeda's biological father. If Robert Taylor is also in the know, then it is indeed very possible.

However, this makes one thing quite strange.

Rob Taylor didn't seem to be helping at all, did he?

Was his mission to break Ryuji Takeda from prison after he was captured?
That's incredibly prescient!

"Hey, Hattori!"

Hattori, who was engrossed in reasoning, suddenly snapped out of his daze, realizing that he had been spacing out while confronting the culprit.

Damn!

By the time he realized what was happening, Robert Taylor was already standing in front of him.

Swah——

The wind howled in his ears, and a dark shadow flashed past Hattori.

After two muffled groans, both detectives fell into a coma.

"idiot."

Robert Taylor casually tossed the unconscious Conan to the ground, completely disregarding whether the fact that he had just used Conan as a club might have caused a concussion.

Since it's an obstacle to oneself, even children cannot escape it.

Of course, Xia Chuan, who had been hiding outside the door, had no worries about this.

Based on Conan's worldview, such an impact is no problem at all, unless the bullet directly blows Conan's brain out, otherwise Conan is an invincible cockroach.

Xia Chuan had actually been waiting at the door the whole time.

The reason is simple: Conan doesn't sleep.

If Conan had just gone to sleep, Natsukawa didn't think anything would have happened afterward.

But Conan just won't sleep, so there's a problem.

Moreover, Robert Taylor is indeed a problematic person.

After the case was solved, he received a call from Frank.

Frank checked the entry records of all airports in Japan and found no one named Robert Taylor.

That's the biggest problem.

An ordinary person entering the country will definitely have an entry record. If there is no disguise and no entry record, it is obvious that the person's identity is not legitimate.

Looking at it now, wow, this skill level is definitely not that of an ordinary person.

"Mr. Long Er, are you alright?"

Robert Taylor walked up to Ryuji Takeda and, under the man's terrified gaze, untied the ropes binding his back.
