Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 320 Mr. Kimura is actually quite kind-hearted.

Make sense.

The reason is explosive.

These kinds of murder cases are impossible to investigate. The murderer and the victim have no social relationship, and they only happen once a year. Plus, they happen to be in a world like the world of Ke Xue, where the police have an aura of reduced intelligence.

If Conan hadn't appeared, this guy could probably have killed his way up until retirement.

The moment the detective spotted the crowd and the police, his relaxed nerves snapped back to reality, and he pounced on them without hesitation, like a stray dog ​​seeing Xiang.

However, this was not Tokyo, and before Conan could get closer to see what was going on, he was stopped by a police officer.

"Alright, there's nothing interesting about this kind of murder case. Let's grab a bite before the head of the Kyogoku family returns."

Vodka closed the window, rubbed his hands together, and, having escaped his brother's clutches, was determined to enjoy a wonderful time drinking.

"We have to work tonight, so don't drink yourself into trouble." Xia Chuan neither refused nor supported this behavior. Staying up late and drinking heavily could easily lead to some kind of illness.

Xia Chuan glanced at Vodka's physique and added, "Alcohol abuse can lead to liver failure and weakened kidney function. In addition, you've been drinking strong liquor for years, so the probability of you getting into trouble is very high. You might not even live to see the day you kill Shuichi Akai."

Xia Chuan's gaze swept over Vodka, making Vodka feel nauseous, as if he were being scanned by an X-ray. He shuddered uncomfortably and left the room.

"When I was researching Porsche, I also discovered that this sake is their signature product and shouldn't be missed."

Vodka, clearly not going to listen to advice, ran out noisily to ask Kyogoku Makoto for more sake.

Not long after Vodka left, the sound of women talking could be heard outside the door.

The voices gradually drew closer until Xia Chuan could hear them clearly.

"How terrifying! That murderer seems to be very interested in women with brown hair. Should we go home?"

"I have no problem with that, but Mr. Daoxie has invited us to dinner tonight. If you want to miss it, I don't mind."

The sound disappeared after the door closed. Xia Chuan opened the door and glanced inside. It seemed that Suzuki Sonoko's room was right next to theirs.

Three people crammed into one room, what a lucky break for Conan!

Vodka returned quickly, accompanied by Makoto Kyogoku, a young black man.

"I heard that the head of the Kyogoku family won't be able to return for the next couple of days, so his only son, Kyogoku Makoto, will be discussing the car issue with us."

Kyogoku Makoto withdrew his gaze from the door next to him, nodded slightly, placed the sake and snacks along with the small table on the tatami mat, and then spoke.

“My father has already told me about the Porsche 356a. This car has been in our family for decades. My father was delayed by other things, so I will be the one to make the deal with you.”

This car was his grandfather's vehicle in his early years, but Makoto Kyogoku never met his grandfather, so he didn't have any emotional attachment to the car. Hearing that selling the car would boost his family business, he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.

In fact, his father didn't want to come back because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to part with this family heirloom.

The three sat down together, and Makoto Kyogoku began to speak.

"Many wealthy individuals have taken a liking to the Porsche 356a over the years, but none of them have been able to offer a suitable price. I'm glad that Mr. Uozuka's boss likes this car, but it depends on how much respect the two of you have for it."

Makoto Kyogoku's attitude was very direct: pay enough money, or don't even think about it.

"The price depends on the condition of the car."

When the topic of cars came up, Vodka immediately perked up. As the organization's top car enthusiast, he had a deep understanding of cars and wouldn't easily reveal his price before seeing them in person.

News is just news. What if there's something wrong with the car and it can't even be repaired after he buys it? Wouldn't he be a sucker?
"The car is back in my hometown. I can have someone drive it over for you two to inspect tomorrow morning. Before that, I have a few photos of the car here for you to take a look at, so you have a better idea of ​​what it's like."

Vodka nodded repeatedly after looking at the photos. The car was in relatively good condition. Kyogoku Makoto's grandfather probably hadn't driven it for very long back then. The exterior was in perfect condition, and the interior should be fine to disassemble and repair when we got back.

After confirming the situation, Vodka was relatively satisfied, as it seemed to match the information he had received.

"I'm very satisfied with this car. I can give you the down payment first. After the car arrives tomorrow and we confirm that there are no problems, we can talk about the balance. But it has to be the car in the photo. If you try to fool us, things will be difficult."

Vodka's tone was extremely chilling, but Makoto Kyogoku was not one to be trifled with. He completely ignored Vodka's threat, and accepted the check with a smile on his lips.

"Mr. Uozuka, Mr. Kimura, don't worry, the car will arrive tomorrow. It's definitely the same one in the photo. Even if you don't like it then, I can return the check to you."

The three of them chatted for a while longer about the Porsche 356a.

Vodka subtly inquired about some rather private matters.

For example, whether they have a girlfriend, their age, or whether they have any martial arts training.

That was his real purpose.

Whenever this topic came up, Makoto Kyogoku deliberately avoided it. At the same time, the repeated questions aroused his disgust, and he left after only a few words.

"Tokyo Karate Champion, doesn't sound that impressive."

Vodka was conflicted. In terms of championship titles, any assassin in their organization could perform championship-level maneuvers, so it wasn't a reliable reference. However, he felt that the opponent's aura was impressive and that he had potential for development.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to test the opponent's true combat strength.
"Tequila, do you think we should take a hard line?"

Vodka's view of Kyogoku is like a mother-in-law's view of her son-in-law—the more she looks, the more she likes him.

"forget it."

Xia Chuan thought to himself, "I'm afraid you're not as tough as him. If you get hammered to a pulp, who's going to drive Gin?"

He filled the glass and handed it to the vodka: "Drink up. The Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau have been very active lately. Don't cause any trouble. If things don't work out and the boss blames me, I won't take the blame."

Vodka was clearly still up to his old tricks, believing that Tequila had been undermining him because they were afraid that Kyogoku Makoto would side with them and eventually sideline him, which was why they were opposing him.

Feeling elated that he had discovered the truth, Vodka drank two bottles of sake and still wasn't satisfied. He then opened another bottle of vodka, finished it off, and finally fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of conquering Japan.

Xia Chuan kicked the person into a corner with disgust, opened the door and left.

There were many things he didn't get to experience during his last visit to Izu, so he had to go out and explore. Also, it was getting a bit hot in disguise, so he took it off to rest for a while.

Vodka has a good tolerance for alcohol, but after drinking so many bottles, he won't sober up for a while. Even if he does wake up, what can he say? Tequila isn't Vodka's subordinate.

"Getting drunk is a good thing, otherwise if you wander around aimlessly and run into Conan, that would be terrible."

As soon as Xia Chuan went downstairs, he saw the man who had appeared by the roadside with Xiao Lan and the other two earlier. The man was now standing at the front desk, seemingly asking something.

"Hello, my friend's name is Suzuki Sonoko. There are two girls and a little girl. I would like to know which room they are in."

Local hostels are characterized by their poor vigilance and complete lack of awareness of problems.

Without even glancing at the other person's appearance, he immediately checked his room list after hearing their name and description. "Such enthusiastic service," Xia Chuan muttered to himself, then leaned against Daoxie Masahiko's back.

Daoxie Zhengyan was unaware that he had been noticed and waited patiently for the front desk to confirm his room number.

"I remember that hostels are supposed to have a responsibility to protect guests' privacy, right?"

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to leak guests' information so easily?"

The voice came from behind him. Daoxie Zhengyan was already a little nervous, and when he heard the voice, he was almost scared to death.

He cursed his bad luck, having run into such a meddlesome person! He thought to himself that he would remember the man's face and make him pay when he left the hostel.

Anyway, we've already killed several people, so one more won't make a difference.

As I slowly turned my head, I first saw a red tie and a black suit; hmm, the shoulders were a bit broad.

His gaze shifted upwards, and Daoxie Zhengyan looked up at a 30-degree angle to get a clear look at the other person's appearance.

The two looked at each other.

This was a stern face with a chin shaped like a buttock and a prominent mustache above the upper lip. When he looked at me, he had a contemptuous and disdainful look in his eyes. His lowered eyes flashed with a cold light. Even though I had taken several lives, I couldn't help but take two steps back when I saw that look.

Daoxie Zhengyan swallowed the curse that was about to come out, pretended not to see it, and turned back to the front desk with a smile: "Please hurry up, I want to order a cake to be delivered to their room as a surprise."

The receptionist, reminded by Xia Chuan, realized her mistake and shook her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, we cannot disclose guest check-in information. If you want to know if your friend is staying here, please contact us directly by phone."

"Can't you make an exception? I want to give her a surprise."

"I'm sorry, but I can't help you."

Dao Xiezheng's face darkened, knowing that the opportunity had been missed, and he turned and left.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to look back at Xia Chuan one last time.

Upon noticing that Natsukawa was also staring at him with an even more menacing gaze, Dokyo Masahiko was startled, wondering if he had encountered some fugitive. He quickly quickened his pace to leave.

"A murder has just occurred nearby. Please do not disclose your personal information."

After leaving those words, Xia Chuan strode away.

"Thank you."

Hearing the commotion, Makoto Kyogoku came out from the kitchen and found the front desk staff bowing repeatedly towards the door. Curious, he asked, "What just happened?"

The receptionist immediately explained the situation, saying that the person opposite was the young master, and there was nothing to hide.

Although it was somewhat embarrassing, the Crown Prince had a gentle personality and wouldn't do anything to her.

"Mr. Kimura didn't seem like a good person, but I didn't expect him to be such a kind-hearted person."

I initially thought the other party was some kind of yakuza organization, but now it seems I was mistaken.

But has anyone inquired about Sonoko Suzuki's room?
The receptionist didn't remember what the man looked like, but judging from the description of his clothes, it was definitely the man who had approached her.

"He's hit on several other girls before, he's definitely not a good guy!"

Makoto Kyogoku immediately thought of the case that had occurred near the railway not far from the hostel.

Although he felt his guess was too far-fetched, he was unwilling to let the other party off easily and decided to go and see what was going on.

“I have to go out for a while. If anyone comes to ask for guests’ accommodation information again, don’t give it to them. Remember their appearance and then contact me.”

After saying that, Makoto Kyogoku immediately chased after her. It concerned the girl he liked, and he had to stand up for her in this situation!

Natsukawa was unaware of the situation and did not follow Dokyo Masahiko after leaving. He was genuinely planning to rest for a bit before heading to Izu Beach!

The air force is back online!
Kyogoku Makoto's purpose was clear, but due to the time difference, he couldn't see the man who approached him. However, he believed that Mr. Kimura must have also noticed that the man was suspicious and might be following him as well.

So thinking about following Mr. Kimura is equivalent to following a man who tries to pick him up.

Therefore, he chose to follow Xia Chuan.
The afternoon sea breeze feels like a heatwave, but it's much better near the coast when the sea breeze hasn't been affected by the ground temperature, so you can catch it off guard and enjoy a cool breeze. The only downside is the slightly sticky, fishy smell it carries.

As a spy, Natsukawa easily discovered Kyogoku Makoto's clumsy tracking skills.

He looked puzzled, but made no response.

There's nothing shameful about fishing.

"Strange, isn't there anything?"

Makoto Kyogoku sighed and rubbed his forehead. It seemed he had been overthinking things. Although Mr. Kimura had spoken up to help, he didn't seem to be following the man who had approached him.

However, it's not a big problem. As long as Sonoko Suzuki is still staying at his hostel, he can protect her immediately.

Dokyo Masahiko was unaware that Kyogoku Makoto had become suspicious of him. In fact, after Natsukawa and Kyogoku Makoto left, he circled back to the vicinity of the inn.

He was responsible for last night's crime; after the murder, he noticed a strong white flash behind him.

Upon closer inspection, they spotted Sonoko and her group passing by, and then noticed the camera on Sonoko's wrist.

The appearance of the flash and the camera in Sonoko Suzuki's hand made Masahiko Dosaku's mood sink to the bottom, and he believed that the light just now was the flash of the camera!

He made the approach and invitation today in order to prevent the photos from revealing his murder.

Before parting ways with Sonoko Suzuki in the afternoon, he specially invited her to have dinner together.

His real purpose was to lure the other person out of his room, then climb over the wall into the room, find the camera, and take the film.

The plan was perfect, and Suzuki Sonoko and the other two didn't suspect him. But the problem arose at the hostel.

When I asked for the room number, a middle-aged man who looked menacing stopped the receptionist from telling me.

He was furious but also felt powerless. The other party was clearly not a good person. Daoxie Zhengyan thought about it over and over but couldn't figure out that he could beat that man with his butt on his chin. He could only suppress his anger and wait for the next explosion.

"Luckily, Sonoko said that her room had a view of the crime scene, otherwise I might not have been able to find their room!"

Daoxie Zhengyan circled the inn several times before finally stopping at the north side of the inn. Excluding the other three directions from which the crime scene could not be seen, and considering that some of the north side was not visible and some of the windows were blocked by trees, there were only two directions from which the scene could actually be seen.

"Staying in two rooms should be enough. The target camera is quite large, so it shouldn't be hard to find."
