Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 325 Deceiving the Newly Emerging Zhiming
Shin-ichi-ya is located behind Shin-ichi Hospital; it's a typical Japanese-style house.

The mansion is U-shaped, with a courtyard in the middle, which perfectly matches the style of the upper-middle class in modern times.

Natsukawa and Kogoro Mori, led by Yoshiteru Niide's wife, Yoko Niide, sat down in the kitchen.

"Um, Madam, are you really not going to reconsider?"

Kogoro Mouri sidled up to him with a sly grin, his face full of malice, showing absolutely no manners befitting a famous detective.

"If Dr. Araide is having an affair, you can contact me to investigate. I'll give you a discount this time, but it's not free!"

Kogoro Mouri was still bothered by Yoshiteru Niide's intimidation, but when he accidentally learned from Yoko Niide that the latter seemed to be having an affair, he immediately became interested.

He would have preferred to stay far away from having an affair.

But this time is different!
He's determined to break up this marriage!
Yoshiteru Araide must pay the price and learn that a great detective cannot be deceived!
Indeed, in his eyes, the other party's behavior was absolutely intentional.

He's definitely jealous of his own reputation and is trying to amuse himself this way.

Hehe, let's see who's the funniest!
"."

Shinichi Yoko said with a wry smile, "Mr. Mori, please don't bring this up again. It's a family matter, so please don't spread it around."

Yoshiteru Niide did not provide any information, so Yoko Niide did not know Kogoro Mouri's true identity and only thought that he was her husband's patient and a down-on-his-luck detective who was having an affair.

"Alright then, please feel free to contact me if you need anything!"

Kogoro Mouri sat down listlessly. The other person's attitude puzzled him. Wasn't free the best option?

At that moment, the Japanese-style door was pushed open, and a young man wearing a white coat, with his hands in his pockets, strode into the room.

The man had brown hair and wore glasses, giving him a refined and scholarly appearance.

Seeing two unfamiliar strangers in the kitchen, Shinichiro was puzzled.

"Who are these two?"

Housekeeper Homoto Mitsuko was just entering the room with tea when she heard the question and quickly explained.

"Father's guest?"

Shinichiro nodded expressionlessly, glanced at the two of them, and then sat down opposite them.

From his expression, Natsukawa noticed that Shinichi seemed to have some resistance and dislike for his father, and he didn't seem to like his father's friends either.

You can't fake liking someone, and you'll also show it very clearly when you dislike someone.

Even though Shinichiro was trying to hide it, Natsukawa still noticed something.

In his memory, Araide Tomoaki shouldn't have this attitude. Was it just something that was briefly mentioned in the plot?

The murderer in this case is Yoko Niide, and her reason is that she wanted to avenge Yoshiteru Niide's deceased ex-wife.

Yoko Shinide and Yoshiteru Shinide's ex-wife were best friends. Yoko married into the Shinide family to take care of her best friend's son, and then accidentally discovered the true cause of her best friend's death, which triggered the murder.

Shinichiro Yoshiaki maintained a stable marriage at home while having affairs outside. To prevent his wife from divorcing him and affecting his career, he tricked her into getting drunk and driving under the influence after she found out, ultimately resulting in a fatal car crash.

Upon learning of this situation, Shinichi Yoko then began planning today's case.

So, in theory, Shinichiro should have nothing to do with the case, but now it seems hard to say.

In the kitchen, a few people chatted casually.

After some discussion, Shinichi learned that the two were not his father's friends, but ordinary patients who had made an apology by having their condition misrepresented by his father.

Shinichiro's mood had clearly improved considerably; he no longer felt the initial aversion and spoke normally with the two of them.

"Are you Mr. Kogoro Mouri?"

During the conversation, Kogoro Mouri "accidentally" revealed his identity again. He nodded, smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and waited for praise.

The expected surprise did occur, but the praise and admiration did not.

Shinichiro's smile froze slightly. He glanced at Aunt Yoko, who was making a phone call at the door, with a strange expression as he took a sip of tea.

Seeing this, Xia Chuan seemed to be deep in thought.

"."

Kogoro Mouri, feeling somewhat embarrassed at not receiving any praise, looked at Natsukawa.

Xia Chuan coughed twice, changing the subject: "By the way, where's Dr. Shinichi? Is he still not better?"

"Yihui is still taking a bath, which is his favorite thing to do. But it's really impolite to keep the guests waiting for so long. I'll go check on him."

Shinichi Yoko was on the phone at the door when she heard a customer asking her something. She covered the receiver and smiled apologetically.

As she looked down, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and her hand covering the receiver tightened involuntarily.

"I'd better go."

As soon as Shinichiro stood up, the overhead light began to flicker.

"Should it be"

Kogoro Mouri had a bad feeling; a power outage was never a good thing.

As he expected, the room was plunged into complete darkness the next moment.

It was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face; the only sound they could hear was their breathing.

"Is there a power outage?"

Shinichi Yoko muttered something, then said, "Hikaru, could you please go check the circuit breaker to see if the main switch has tripped? It seems like everyone else still has power. I'll go check on Yoshihiro."

"I understand." Hikaru Homoto nodded and groped in the dark to find a flashlight.

"I'd better go!"

In the darkness, Natsukawa could hear Akihiro Tomoaki's voice trembling slightly.

Shinichiro, forcing himself to remain calm, grabbed a flashlight and walked heavily towards the door.

This power outage was actually within his expectations.

Not long ago, he accidentally discovered his aunt's diary, which recorded that his mother's death was related to his father, and then a complete murder plan, the execution date of which was today!

Upon learning that his mother's death was caused by his father, Shinichi almost collapsed.

He kept the secret of the diary to himself, struggled for many days, and finally made up his mind to help his aunt complete her plan!

Yoko Shinide's plan is to create a power outage, run to the bathroom during the outage, throw the electric shaver extension cord into the water, and the moment the power is restored, Yoshiteru Shinide can experience an electrolytic water bath.

Shinichiro didn't want innocent outsiders to get involved in this matter and wanted to take matters into his own hands as the one to end his father's life.

Moreover, he had just learned of Kogoro Mouri's identity and felt somewhat apprehensive. If he were to press the switch, even if Kogoro Mouri solved the case, he could still share the blame for Aunt Yoko.

If the plan goes smoothly, as long as he doesn't mention that the residual current device (RCD) had automatically turned on, his father's death can be attributed to the time of the power outage! At that point, everyone will have an alibi, and even a famous detective will only be able to conclude that it was an accident.

"I'll go with you; my night vision is pretty good."

Natsukawa's suggestion surprised Shinide Tomoaki.

"I'd better go on my own."

Shinichi shook his head in objection: "A power outage is already a very impolite thing, so there's no need to trouble Mr. Natsukawa to accompany me. I'm very familiar with the house, and I have a flashlight, so there won't be any problems."

"then you go."

Shinichiro breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the room with a flashlight.

Xia Chuan followed silently behind, the spy concealed without making a sound, and Shinichiro was completely unaware that someone was following him.

Shinichiro Shinichiro is still useful, and Natsukawa wants him to owe her a favor.

Perhaps, instead of killing Yoshiteru Araide, there is a more suitable place for him to go, where he can still achieve his revenge and protect Tomoaki Araide and Yoko Araide.

Stepping onto the wooden floor, Shinichi felt as if each step was sinking into mud, and his steps grew heavier and heavier.

As a doctor, what he's about to do is kill!
And he's her father.

Even if the hatred deepens, a father is still a father.

Finally, he stood in front of the power switch.

Shinichiro looked at it for a long time before reaching out and turning on the power switch.

"click"

The residual current circuit breaker tripped.

He knew that this meant that Aunt Yangzi's plan had been completed, and as long as he turned on the leakage circuit breaker, his father would be electrocuted and die.

Shinichiro, expressionless, slowly raised his hand and placed it on the switch.

Just then, a hand reached out from behind him and grabbed his wrist.

"Do you really want to do this? Perhaps you have other, better ways."

The sudden appearance of an arm and the voice behind him made Shinichi Araide's heart skip a beat, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

"You are a doctor, and your duty is to save lives and heal the wounded."

A new wise man turns back.

"Mr. Xia Chuan, what's wrong?"

"In fact, I noticed something was off about Ms. Araide's expression when she used the word 'extramarital affair' in the consultation room. Uncle Mori even offered to investigate Dr. Araide's extramarital affair partners for free, which no normal person would refuse."

But Ms. Shinichi Yoko refused, which was not the behavior of a normal wife.

Unless, she already had this planned in advance!

"But why are you here? If you think Aunt Yoko is planning to kill Father, shouldn't you be in the bathroom?"

He knew the details of the case because he had read the notebook, but Xia Chuan, despite being here for the first time today, acted as if he knew the house very well.

Xia Chuan chuckled and pulled down Shinichiro's hand, then said, "Oh right, I forgot to mention, I'm a special investigator for the Japanese National Tax Service. Many private hospitals in the country evade taxes. Actually, I've been observing your family for a long time before this, and I accidentally discovered Ms. Yoko practicing murder methods."

"So you're investigating taxes, but why are you helping me? You could have waited until Father died and investigated openly. If he were still alive, it might have made the investigation even more difficult."

"Because we are destined to meet, and we share a common goal. But again, is it really necessary to go to this extent? Perhaps there are other ways."

Xia Chuan shrugged and continued, "We might as well send him to prison to pick up soap as soon as possible."

"Indeed, although my father was a doctor, he lacked medical ethics. Overcharging was commonplace, and the amount of tax he evaded each year was a terrifying figure."

Shinichiro's eyes lit up again: "I have evidence of my father's tax evasion and records of illegally selling prohibited drugs. I can give you all of these!"

"Great, my sales performance this month depends on you!"

Yes, the deception was successful!

"I should thank Mr. Xia Chuan; this way, there was no risk of being arrested."

Shinichiro was genuinely grateful to Natsukawa; if he had actually taken action, he probably wouldn't have been able to sleep for the rest of his life.
