Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 321 I'm only interested in Makoto Kyogoku

As the sun slowly disappeared below the horizon, the waves crashed against the beach, eliciting cheers from the young men and women.

In the sky, seagulls cried softly, flapped their wings and flew towards the horizon, gradually disappearing from people's sight.

As night slowly fell and twilight enveloped the hostel, lights shone from each room.

Outside, Daoxie Zhengyan had been waiting for a very long time. He saw the light on the right side of the room turn on, but not the left side, and he was caught in a dilemma.

"Am I being too hasty? It's not impossible that they might rent both rooms, after all, there are three of them."

When the time came to take action, Dokyo Masahiko suddenly hesitated.

"Why don't we check both rooms? That way, we definitely won't leak anything."

"The rooms without lights are probably because it's not bedtime yet, so they're in one room so they don't feel lonely."

Dokyo Masahiko's speculation is not without reason. Girls who go out to play usually like to talk about things when they get home. Unless it's time to sleep, they are unlikely to break up.

Daoxie Zhengyan checked the time. It was almost time to meet. He could go to the room that was not lit to check the situation first. If there was nothing there, he could go to the other room to reduce the time spent there.

Having made up his mind, and taking advantage of the moment when the sun had completely set and the moonlight was obscured by the clouds, Dokyo Masahiko, following his earlier plan, reached the roof of the house through the big tree.

The roof of the Wawu Inn was made entirely of tiles, so Daoxie Zhengyan didn't dare to use too much force and slowly approached by stepping lightly on the tiles.

As he got closer, his heart began to race.

This wasn't nervousness, but excitement.

The thought of getting the camera film soon and concealing his identity filled him with genuine excitement.

As long as this secret is kept, he will come again this time next year!

He had already planned it all out. After returning this time, he would find his ex-girlfriend with brown hair, lure her here next summer, and then kill her in the same way.

Perhaps only when the culprit dies can he be completely at peace.

However, before that, he was still considering whether to kill Sonoko Suzuki. Sonoko Suzuki had a very similar personality to his ex-girlfriend, and with her hair color, he felt an irresistible urge to strangle her every time he saw her.

Thinking about all this, Dokyo Masahiko had already crossed the room railing.

The moonlight helped him conceal his figure, but it also caused trouble for his actions.

Daoxie Zhengyan took out his cell phone from his pocket and used its faint yellow light for illumination.

The cell phone's dim light could only illuminate a space of less than one meter, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty. Dokyo Masahiko could only carefully feel his way around, afraid that the sound would attract the attention of the rooms next door.

Where is the suitcase?

Daoxie Zhengyan followed closely, even kneeling on the ground to conduct a thorough search, striving not to miss any corner.

Fortunately, luck was on his side, and he soon found his suitcase.

"The dark suitcase really doesn't match the personalities of the two girls."

Daoxie Zhengyan chuckled, glanced at the direction of the door, and, confirming that there was no movement, carefully opened his suitcase.

The suitcase was clearly packed full, and the zipper was so tight that it took a lot of effort to open it even a little.

"If this is Sonoko Suzuki's room, the camera should be here. After we take the film, we'll take care of her tonight."

Dao Xiezhengyan thought to himself with satisfaction, and the tension in his heart began to ease.

At that moment, he suddenly felt the zipper being completely stretched open in an instant.

Swah——

Clang, clang, clang—

The moment the suitcase was opened, bottles of strong liquor rolled out, the sounds of glass bottles colliding and falling to the ground echoing throughout.

Dao Xiezheng felt a chill run down his spine. He lunged forward and pressed down on the wine bottle in front of him to suppress his voice.

He remained in that position for several seconds, his eyes fixed on the door, beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead. At this moment, if there was any movement at the door, he would immediately run to the balcony.

After about a minute, there was no movement outside the door, and it seemed that no one had noticed what was happening, so he felt relieved and let go.

"She was a drunkard? She was definitely not a good girl, she deserved to die!"

Unaware of the seriousness of the situation, Dokyo Masahiko quietly began collecting the bottles that had rolled away.

He couldn't find the camera, so he could only assume it was hidden in another room.

"It looks like a bottle rolled past the doorway just now."

To prevent the burglary from being discovered, the stray bottles naturally need to be collected and returned to their original place.

Using the dim yellow light emitted by his phone, Dokyo Masahiko crawled forward on the ground.

Soon, he figured out something.

"what is this?"

Dao Xie Zheng Yan was stunned for a moment when he touched something soft and cool.

As the yellow light drew closer, an arm came into view.

The spot he touched was his palm.

"hand?"

Daoxie Zhengyan's mind went blank for a moment. This kind of cold feeling should only occur in corpses.

Besides, who would sleep in a place like this?

Sonoko Suzuki's smile resurfaced in his mind, but this time it seemed somewhat wicked.

The woman with brown hair was definitely no good. This girl actually secretly killed someone in her own room. No wonder the room was still dark at this hour. They must be discussing how to dispose of the body next door.

Thinking about this, Dokyo Masahiko suddenly felt that he wasn't so sinful after all, and his determination to kill Suzuki Sonoko was strengthened.

"Well?"

Vodka felt an itch in his palm, scratched it with the back of his hand, then adjusted his position and continued sleeping.

In his dream, he was plotting the details of capturing Princess Thorn with his elder brother.

He didn't believe the Thorn Princess could escape if he brought enough high-proof liquor. If all else failed, he would have the research department prepare some alcohol bombs specifically to deal with her.

Dokyo Masahiko was nearly scared to death by Vodka's sudden movement. He jumped back a step, his hands holding the dagger trembling, revealing a fierce yet timid look in his eyes.

After a while, when Vodka started snoring, Dokyo Masahiko finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After this commotion, Daoxie Zhengyan obviously realized that he might have gone to the wrong room.

Sonoko Suzuki and her two companions did indeed rent one room, and that room was purely occupied by an alcoholic who was overthinking things.

Da da da--

The sudden sound of footsteps approached from afar, and the changing light filtering through the cracks in the room confirmed to Dokyo Masahiko that someone had stopped at the door of the room.

"Oops!"

Daoxie Zhengyan tensed up instantly, and without having time to pack much, he turned around and ran quickly to the balcony.

"boom!"

Despite having rehearsed it in his mind many times, in his haste, Dokyo Masahiko was still unable to fully execute his plan and ended up crashing headfirst into the sliding door.

"Damn it!"

Daoxie Zhengyan endured the pain and dared not utter a sound.

The sudden "bang" startled Xia Chuan, who was about to open the door.

Did Vodka get drunk and go to the toilet, only to fall in?

Shouldn't we take a video to remember this moment?
With this in mind, Xia Chuan quickly opened the door.

Before Vodka could even see it, he noticed a dark figure getting up from the ground and preparing to climb over the balcony railing.

Xia Chuan reacted mechanically in an instant, kicking out and flinging his right leather shoe off.

"what!"

Dokyo Masahiko felt as if something had hit his head, and it hurt terribly, but at this moment, escaping was the priority and there was no time to look back. He quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Xia Chuan turned on the light and just in time to see the orange hem of the other person's clothes flutter as they disappeared.

"That psychopathic killer from this afternoon?"

Xia Chuan scratched his head in confusion. Why was this guy coming here instead of going to Sonoko's room to look for the camera?
Could it be because I stopped him from asking for information from the front desk this afternoon? Neither Xia Chuan nor Vodka brought much with them on this trip; their only weapons were on their person, and their suitcases were filled with Vodka's favorite liquor. They weren't worried about anything being stolen.

After a quick check of the room, no eavesdropping devices were found, so it seems that Conan didn't discover it after all.

That makes sense, though; that person's build clearly doesn't belong to Conan.

The inspection was done out of caution.

Xia Chuan glanced down at Vodka, who was still snoring, and decided not to disturb his sweet dreams. He closed the door, packed his suitcase, and went to the balcony to close the sliding door to prevent the other party from having a second chance.

This room is right next to Sonoko Suzuki's room, so it's understandable that the other person went to the wrong place, since he was the one who prevented the other person from getting the room information. Come to think of it, the other person did have some brains to find this place.

Dokyo Masahiko did not leave. He hid in the forest bushes and observed for a few minutes. He noticed that the person who came in did not check the situation. While wondering about this, he saw another room where the lights had just been turned off.

It turned out that the agreed time had arrived before they knew it, and Suzuki Sonoko and the other two should have already left the room by now.

We can't keep them waiting too long; we must find the film immediately.

Dao Xie Zheng Yan understood the principle that delay could lead to unforeseen changes. He rubbed the large bump on the back of his head, endured the pain, and climbed back onto the roof.

Xia Chuan stretched on the balcony, preparing to retrieve his leather shoes. He had just poked half his head out when he met the eyes of Dao Xie Zheng Yan, who was about to climb over the railing of Suzuki Sonoko's room.

"."

Both of them fell silent.

Daoxie Zhengyan's forehead was sweating, and he swallowed hard, unsure whether to step over the railing or turn and run away.

It was this guy!
Once this afternoon, and just now it was him too, and now I've found myself again.
Is this guy deliberately trying to mess with himself?

New and old grudges intertwined, and anger surged from his heart to his head.

The malice overwhelmed the oppressive feeling emanating from that face, prompting him to draw his dagger.

His face has been seen! At this point, even if the other party is not someone to be trifled with, Daoxie Zhengyan has no way out.

"Go to hell!"

With a shout, Dao Xiezhengyan charged towards Xia Chuan!
The two were only three meters apart, and as long as they were fast enough, Dokyo Masahiko did not think the other party would be able to react in time.

Xia Chuan sneered inwardly, thinking to himself, "You've really messed with me!"

Xia Chuan lowered his head slightly, flicked his finger, and swung the bolt of the sliding door towards the other person's feet.

As it grew dark, Daoxie Zhengyan did not see Xia Chuan's movements at all. He rushed forward two steps, but suddenly stepped on something, lost his balance, and fell forward.

"what!!"

After his head made intimate contact with the railing, he bounced off, crushing a large number of tiles. Dizzy and disoriented, Daoxie Zhengyan was unable to maintain his balance on the roof and fell backward after taking a butterfly step.

Then, rows of tiles were crushed and fell to the ground with a "thud".

"I shouldn't die, right?"

From Natsukawa's angle, he couldn't see what the other person looked like after falling, but given Conan's attitude towards the murderer, a mere one-story building shouldn't be a problem, right?
After glancing at it twice and finding no movement, Xia Chuan stopped paying attention.

"It seems that whether the young lady and Kyogoku Makoto will get together or not depends on fate."

Muttering to himself, Xia Chuan locked the balcony door, went downstairs, and opened another room.

He hates snoring the most. He's already in light sleep, and if he has to listen to vodka's snoring, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

It's not like we don't have the resources; we're using the winery's money anyway, so why should we wrong ourselves?

The next morning, Natsukawa and Vodka, led by Kyogoku Makoto, went to see the gleaming Porsche.

Makoto Kyogoku's attitude was noticeably better today, and his gaze toward Natsukawa was clearly one of goodwill.

Xia Chuan didn't understand what Kyogoku Makoto meant. He was following him yesterday, but why did he change his attitude today? Did he know that I helped him catch a thief yesterday?

Well, it doesn't seem like a good thing that this guy got arrested.

Xia Chuan didn't understand, but didn't ask any further questions.

The transaction was completed, but Vodka had no intention of letting Kyogoku Makoto go. He approached him with a smile and inquired about his situation.

"Where do you usually train? I see you're in good shape. Want to hang out with me?"

Vodka said smugly, "As long as you work for me, your family's chance to rise again will come."

"No, I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

Although he has a good impression of Mr. Kimura, it doesn't stop Makoto Kyogoku from hating yakuza. When he was in school, he taught many of these school bullies who joined yakuza organizations a lesson. He has witnessed a lot of school bullying firsthand and has no interest in joining such a group.

"Haven't you ever thought about opening your own hostels all over the country?" Vodka continued to tempt him: "Once you become one of us, none of that will be a problem."

Vodka still had his brains; he didn't blurt out everything about the distillery.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Saburo Uozuka. I'm glad to have made a deal with you, but let's not talk about anything else. I'm just an eighteen-year-old high school student. I just want to study hard and I have no interest in anything else. I only practice karate to improve my health."

"Alright, don't force them if they don't want to."

Seeing that both sides were a bit unhappy, Xia Chuan stepped forward and pulled Vodka away.

Seeing this, Makoto Kyogoku nodded and left without saying a word. He had other things to do; he had heard that Sonoko Suzuki was going to a restaurant with that guy who had hit on her, and he had to go and see what was going on.

Vodka returned to his room grumbling, while Xia Chuan went to the front desk to inquire about the situation.

"Did anything happen at the hostel last night?"

The receptionist recognized the kind person from yesterday and wasn't suspicious. Besides, what happened yesterday wasn't a big deal, and some people had witnessed it, so she didn't hide anything.

It turns out that yesterday, Sonoko Suzuki and the other two waited downstairs for a long time but did not see Masahiko Dokyo. Sonoko Suzuki couldn't wait any longer and called him, but the call did not go through. Conan, however, noticed a cell phone ringing nearby.

Following the sound of the cell phone ringing, they found Dosaku Masahiko lying unconscious on the side of the hostel.

Despite falling from the second floor, Masahiko Dokyo miraculously escaped serious injury and regained consciousness shortly after being taken to the hospital.

As the innkeeper, Makoto Kyogoku also went to check on the situation.

According to the information obtained at the front desk, the man named Dokichi Masahiko said that he found a suspected serial killer near the hostel. Curiosity and a sense of justice led him to follow him, and that's how he was discovered.

The wounds on his body were from that time, and he never mentioned climbing the hostel roof, portraying himself as a messenger of justice.

"Logically, this should be a good thing, as it has helped the hostel resolve a potential problem, but it's strange that the owner came back looking sullen."

After hearing the story, Xia Chuan almost burst out laughing. He hadn't expected that this Daoxie Zheng Yan was quite good at making things up.

That's really daring!
Aren't you afraid of telling the police?

Perhaps this kind of person is more suited to the criteria of vodka than Makoto Kyogoku.

Joining the distillery and undergoing a few training sessions would probably allow him to become a qualified assassin.

"Vodka, I've discovered a talent. Do you want to give him a try?"

Back in his room, Xia Chuan asked with great interest.

"No need! I'm only interested in Makoto Kyogoku."

The vodka had calmed down, and he pulled out a small monitor from somewhere. It displayed an image that looked like a Dragon Ball radar, with a small red dot moving around.

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow, having made a guess.

"Hey! You didn't install a tracking device on Makoto Kyogoku, did you?"

Vodka chuckled: "That's right. I just noticed that he seemed to be getting ready to go out. I figured that someone with that physique must have a lot of training. If I follow him, I might be able to see how strong he really is."

"I can sense the aura of a powerful person from him. Although he's not as strong as me, he's definitely quite good. I must recruit him!"

"That's fine."

Xia Chuan shrugged in agreement. Since Vodka was so eager to get beaten up, he would give him a chance.

Following the GPS device, the two arrived at a seaside restaurant.

The restaurant is built by the sea, allowing diners to enjoy delicious food while admiring the ocean view. Judging from its layout and selling points, it should be considered a high-end place, which shows that Masahiko Dokyo is determined to acquire Sonoko Suzuki's film.

"What kind of operation is this, practicing martial arts in a restaurant? Is he practicing his knife skills in the kitchen?"

Xia Chuan's sarcasm made Vodka lose face, and at this moment he could only bite the bullet and reply: "We can open the base in the bar. This restaurant might be a martial arts school or fighting venue behind the scenes. You may be deceived by appearances, but I won't be."

Xia Chuan thought about it and realized that it might actually be true.

However, he knew the reason why Kyogoku Makoto was here, and that it was simply impossible!
At this moment, Xia Chuan suddenly paused, remembering a question!
If I remember correctly, Conan is also there. If they rush in, they might run into Conan.

"Hey, put your mask on."
