Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 314 It seems your wife is taking the blame for you.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally recovered, swallowed hard, and asked, "Tell me this isn't real, but I didn't drink any alcohol when I went out. Could it be that I've been so overworked these past few days that my kidneys are so weak that I'm hallucinating?"

Frank spoke the last sentence very softly, so it was not transmitted over the walkie-talkie.

Xia Chuan was at a loss for words; the situation today had truly deteriorated.

Not only was she almost discovered by Joel, but both Joel and Franky witnessed the entire process of Ai Haibara shrinking from a large size.

The reason he dared to install surveillance cameras on the rooftop was because, in his memory, Ai Haibara shrank after falling into a chimney, making her invisible to Frank.

However, due to Joel's involvement, the plot changed, and Ai Haibara never had the chance to jump over the chimney.

"Just pretend you drank too much! I told you to drink less, but you wouldn't listen. And you still do strenuous exercise every day after drinking."

"Are we still brothers? Should I save the video and watch it again tomorrow?" This was the first time Frank had spoken to Xia Chuan so loudly. Besides being angry, he also felt a little satisfied. Finally, it was his turn to speak loudly.

"Okay, as you guessed, that eighteen-year-old Sherry was Ai Haibara."

"You bastard, you've been keeping it from your brothers."

"Hehe, since you already know this, I might as well tell you another piece of news."

"what?"

"In fact, Conan is Shinichi Kudo."

Since we've already seen Ai Haibara, one more Shinichi Kudo won't make a difference.

Given Frank's intelligence, even without being told, he would probably quickly realize that Conan's identity is also questionable.

After all, when Frank was investigating the relationship between Yusaku Kudo and Toichi Kuroba, Frank asked about this issue several times, and his words implied that he didn't quite believe the Kudo family had a second son.

"You wouldn't believe something so unscientific even if it were told to you verbally."

Frank suddenly felt a little better.

It turns out the idol only had one child with that jerk, no second one.

I feel a little better now.

"and many more!"

"So why did you lie to me for so long? You should have told me this a long time ago! How did those two shrink like that?!"

"They're not the only ones who've shrunk."

Xia Chuan didn't say much, but pushed open the van: "Gin is coming down soon. Drive the car away and find an opportunity to detonate the Porsche 356a later!"

Gin had no idea that his beloved car was about to be totaled after less than half a day of driving. As he went downstairs, he ran into Pisco, who had escaped police interrogation.

On Conan's side, although he has already identified Kenzo Masuyama as Pisco, he has not found any evidence that can kill him outright. In addition, Ai Haibara has suddenly gotten into trouble, so he is now only thinking about finding out where Pisco is holding him.

Fortunately, Ai Haibara has already gone up to the rooftop, and she should be able to find him there.

The gunfight outside caught Inspector Megure's attention, and with the case making no progress and the presence of prominent figures from all walks of life, his position was not enough to withstand the pressure. He had no choice but to put the case aside for the time being and return to the investigation.

Right now, the most important thing is still gunfights!
Conan was hurrying past the lounge, heading towards the stairs, when a sound suddenly made him stop.

"Hey, did you see that?"

"This is big news. I never expected that the owner of the car company would do something like this in secret."

"You know what, my neighbor's cousin's son is a detective in the Metropolitan Police Department. He told me before that Shigehiko Tomoguchi has received countless bribes. His refrigerator is full of money. I heard that even his wife was given to him by someone else. Kenzo Masuyama must have been involved in this too."

"No wonder Kenzo Masuyama shot and killed Shigehiko Toguchi."

"You know what, maybe Kenzo Masuyama killed him because he was afraid of being implicated if things were exposed!"

Hearing these strange remarks, Conan frowned, his curiosity temporarily suppressing his worry for Ai Haibara.

"Hey, uncles, what are you talking about? I heard the murderer at the memorial service hasn't been found yet. How do you know that Kenzo Masuyama is the murderer who killed Congressman Tomoguchi?"

The enthusiastic Beika residents didn't mind that the other person was a child, and pointed to their laptop screen, saying, "Look, the Beika Daily, Tokyo Daily, and Nichiri TV News all reported this news just now, and there was even a photo attached."

A concerned citizen peered into the memorial service and remarked, "The police were very efficient today. They not only solved the case quickly but also contacted newspapers to report it online. It seems that the new era is indeed coming up, and I should probably invest in some internet stocks."

Conan was clearly a bit stunned when he saw the photos on the helpful citizen's computer.

The photo features a man and a woman, two of the seven people who were left behind. But that's not the point; the point is what's behind them.

Behind the two men, Kenzo Masuyama held a black pistol. The muzzle was likely fitted with an extended silencer, making the pistol much longer than normal. A handkerchief was covering the silencer; it was the handkerchief that had guided him to narrow down his target from a hundred men to seven.

If I'm not mistaken, Kenzo Masuyama's stance and aiming direction indicate that he's aiming to hang decorative lights!

The case is solved?
Conan suddenly felt a little confused. The evidence he had been searching for for so long was known to everyone outside?
The famous detective immediately put Ai Haibara out of his mind and ran towards Inspector Megure.

We must capture Pisco immediately and not give him a chance to escape.

"Officer Megure!"

Inspector Megure was on the phone. He glanced back at Conan and raised his hand to signal him to be quiet.

Judging from their expression, they probably received the message as well.

After hanging up the phone, Inspector Megure's expression turned serious. Ignoring Conan, he told his subordinates, "I'm going to find Kenzo Masuyama; Takagi, you go check the situation on the rooftop."

Upon hearing this news, Conan suddenly remembered that Ai Haibara was still waiting for him on the rooftop.

Speaking of which, could the gunshot just now have been Gin arriving?
Meanwhile, Pisco was taken to the wine cellar where Ai Haibara was imprisoned, and his expression was also not good. Sherry was missing!

Across from him, Gin asked coldly, "Such a big person, and you just locked her up here without even checking the chimney? I even suspect you deliberately let her escape."

“It was an accident. The situation was urgent. The Metropolitan Police Department called me, and I didn’t have any other help, so I had to bring her to this wine cellar.”

The three people who were present were all arrested. Even if Vermouth and Bourbon were notified, it would be useless, as they were both present and unable to leave.

Pisco couldn't understand how a little kid could possibly get out of the chimney. Putting aside physical strength, the little girl's height was so small that she couldn't even support herself on both sides of the inside of the chimney while doing a split, so how could she get up there?

Unless someone above drops a rope!

"Where are you two?"

Gin then realized that neither Vermouth nor Bourbon had answered his calls.

"Hey, Gin, I'm not your subordinate. Watch your language."

Vermouth rolled her eyes dramatically, casually playing with her hair with one hand, completely ignoring Gin's questioning.

"I was at work, I can't bring my phone, and this wasn't part of my mission." Amuro Tooru shrugged, checked the information on his phone, then suddenly changed his expression, walked to the computer and frantically typed something: "You should take a look at this first."

Gin snorted and moved closer.

Then he saw the photo, and his eyes involuntarily shifted, his murderous intent intensifying. Good grief, another reason to kill Pisk.

It was discovered that Pisco had taken advantage of his position within the organization to gain numerous benefits, both overtly and covertly, in his spare time.

That's fine, Pisco is an old man, if the amount were small, Gin could pretend he didn't see it, and the boss wouldn't care either, but the key is that this amount is really big!

In addition to his current family, Pisco also has a lover in Australia!
The lover has evidence that he was secretly exchanging organizational intelligence with someone in the underworld.

Pisco occasionally sells information about the organization to the underworld. Gin even suspects that the exposure of Shiraiu Pharmaceuticals and the discovery of the seaside castle by the zoo may be related to this mole.

The crime was already a death sentence, and then the murder was discovered.
"Pisco, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Gin turned around indifferently, raised his pistol, and pressed it against Pisco's forehead.

"Don't be impulsive. I'm a veteran of the organization. I've contributed to the boss's success!"

Although Pisco didn't know what Gin had seen, he knew that if he brought up the boss in this situation, Gin wouldn't dare to kill him.

"It's just Shirley, isn't it? I can find her quickly by leveraging my social influence."

Clearly, Pisco is unaware that he was photographed while committing the murder, and he still refuses to relinquish his power and wealth.

"You probably won't have that chance."

Gin raised his chin and looked down at Pisk, his cold eyes as if he were looking at a dead man.

"You won't find Shirley. Only I know what she's become."

Before he could finish speaking, Gin had already pulled the trigger.

The bullet flew out of the barrel and pierced through the head, leaving a charred bullet hole in the forehead.

The red and white substance seemed to be delayed, flowing out only after several seconds.

Amuro Tooru yawned: "What did he mean by his last sentence? What has become of Sherry now?" It wasn't until he arrived at the wine cellar that he learned Sherry had appeared at the Beika Grand Hotel, accompanied by Princess Thorn.

Gin clearly held back on certain intelligence and information regarding him, and didn't seem to trust him much.

But that's not the point right now.

Not long after the Blue Castle incident, Sherry and Princess Thorn appeared together, making it hard not to speculate that the Blue Castle was exposed to the FBI, possibly by Sherry, and that she might have already been recruited by the FBI.

This speculation is plausible, but it cannot be completely confirmed.

In truth, Amuro Tooru didn't quite believe that Sherry, a person who dared to love and hate, would help the FBI.

That's the organization that Shuichi Akai belongs to.

Putting aside the FBI, another highly suspicious person jumped into his mind.

The way Tequila delivered the message to Kazami Yuya last time and the way the person delivering the message to Yuri this time used the same method, making Tequila a strong possibility. Does this mean that Sherry and Tequila are in cahoots?

After Shirley escaped the organization, she was kept hidden by Tequila.

At the time, Tequila was one of the people searching for Sherry's whereabouts, so she could have done it!

The clues suddenly became clear.

The sniper on the office building rooftop might just be Tequila.

However, the fact that he was able to get the Thorn Princess to help him shows he's quite something.

"It's exactly the same as when she escaped." Gin scoffed. "I almost forgot to ask how she left that room all by herself. It couldn't have really been through the ventilation duct, could it?"

Pisco and Gin's intelligence is not equal.

Gin saw Sherry after she transformed from drinking alcohol, while Pisco saw Ai Haibara after she shrank.

If it weren't for the fact that Pisco was a long-time employee of the organization and had worked with the Miyano couple many years ago, no normal person would know that a first-grade child was Sherry.

Unfortunately, even with Joel's interference, Gin still didn't get to see Sherry's transformation.

"Let's get out of here first. With the gunfights and murders happening one after another, the Metropolitan Police Department will be here soon."

Vermouth didn't want to be caught by the police, so she turned and walked away.

Bourbon smiled and looked at Gin: "I heard your new car has arrived. I'll have to trouble you later, Brother Gin."

The four of them left the scene as if nothing had happened and headed towards the front door.

Watching the police officers coming and going, Vodka felt a sense of pride. This was the kind of organization they were; they never left a trace. Not to mention the police, even the FBI, one of the world's leading organizations, often couldn't do anything to them.

"These big idiots only know how to talk the talk after the walk; they can't even catch us in the act!"

Amuro Tooru was very disgusted by the collective sense of honor that vodka had, but he had to admit that the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department were also promoted through formal examinations.

It's best to leave dealing with international criminal organizations like this to the police; the police's duty is to protect the safety of residents.

But vodka is really cheap.

"They're out!" Frank reminded him.

Xia Chuan was waiting for this opportunity.

The moment Gin and his group appeared at the door, he immediately perked up and pressed the remote control he was clutching tightly in his hand.

Hey!
The moment the button sank, the Porsche 356a that had been parked for about half an hour right in front of the Mihua Grand Hotel exploded with a loud bang.

The shockwave from the explosion propelled the car body more than four or five meters away.

A series of crashing and clattering sounds filled the air as car parts scattered and fell like petals from a fairy's sky.

clang-

The car headlights fell right in front of Gin.

Gin's face, which had been expressionless, suddenly twitched, and his hand unconsciously reached into the inside pocket of his coat.

If someone asks him what he wants to do right now, he'll say: I just got my hands on a refurbished Porsche 356a!

"The Thorn Princess!"

Gin uttered the name slowly and deliberately, his clenched teeth revealing his anger to everyone.

There could be no one else but the Thorn Princess!
At this moment, even Vermouth didn't touch the other person's forehead.

Fortunately, Amuro Tooru also had a part-time job as a taxi driver, which came in handy at this time, and the four of them left in a taxi.

"I said, it seems your wife is taking the blame for you."
