Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 337 False Death Report

Night fell over the sky.

Dorobica Amusement Park.

The dazzling lights illuminated the scene like a tide, and the chaos caused by the roller coaster had completely vanished.

The parade of floats drew everyone's attention.

The arrival of the police did not attract much attention from the tourists.

The lookout tower was very quiet; everyone was captivated by the activities below, except for one couple who hadn't left yet.

"If I'm not mistaken, the guy who just left the lookout tower, was that Shinichi Kudo? And that kid from the Mori family, nice scooter."

Louis turned to look at the woman beside him who was pretending to be his lover. The woman's eyes did not leave the binoculars; she was staring intently at the apocalyptic scene of the volcano.

Louis said nothing and quietly watched the parade of floats outside.

His presence here is also related to the case at the Mihana Sun Plaza Hotel.

The recent murder of a police officer has caused a great stir in Tokyo. Louis had been paying close attention to Joel, and when he learned that Joel was involved in the case and had even been harmed by the murderer at the Beika Sun Plaza Hotel, he was shocked.

The news piqued his interest; this killer was interesting.

Having been chased by Joel for several blocks last time, Louis knew Joel's prowess well; at least he was fast and had excellent stamina.

Since the murderer was able to seriously injure a policeman in front of Joel and also cause harm to Joel, he must have some extraordinary abilities.

His purpose in being here was to see if he could make contact with the murderer.

He had no help in Japan. The only person who could help him was Baileys, who once owed him a favor. But favors have their limits, and he needed helpers and assistants.

In addition, Louis also wanted to build his own team, just like Gin, Vermouth, and Rum.

At the very least, I'd like to get one or two capable assistants.

The quality of the organization's peripheral members varied greatly. In Europe, Rum held absolute power. He was nominally the second-in-command, but in reality, the European branch was still Rum's personal fiefdom.

This situation led him to consider recruiting subordinates.

It's rare to see someone dare to attack the police, even in a country like Japan where murders are frequent. This kind of person is definitely suitable to join the organization, and given that he was able to hurt Yoel, his fighting skills must be quite impressive.

He came with high expectations, but after some observation, he was very disappointed with the result.

Through the binoculars, he could clearly see the battle between Kazeto Kyosuke, Natsukawa, and Yoel.

No, that wasn't a fight at all; it was a one-sided beating!
Kazato Kyosuke was molded like clay, allowing Natsukawa and Yoru to flatten and roll him.

Disappointment, utter disappointment.

Thankfully, Louis didn't tell Baileys his true purpose, otherwise he would have lost face big time!

But this trip to the amusement park wasn't entirely without its merits.

It's clear that Natsukawa and Yoru are incredibly skilled in combat, and Shinichi Kudo's appearance is also a pleasant surprise.

If I remember correctly, this guy named Shinichi Kudo should be dead by now!

Literal death, at least that's what the report says.

When he held a high-level meeting some time ago, he saw the list of people using APTX4869 in Japan, and Shinichi Kudo's name was on it.

Because I had previously been in contact with Kogoro Mouri, I had investigated the Mouri family and had some understanding of Shinichi Kudo, Ran Mouri's childhood friend, so I had a strong impression of the name.

"The death report of aptx4869 clearly stated that Shinichi Kudo was confirmed dead, but it turns out that he is still alive and well, and even appeared at Dorobiga Amusement Park openly and without any concealment."

"What on earth is Gin doing? He can't even solve a high school student, and this has caused such a big problem."

I waited in vain for a reply, then turned around and saw that Baileys still had her eyes glued to the binoculars.

Louis frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Are you alright? Even if Shinichi Kudo isn't dead, it shouldn't make you this agitated. Did you write that death report?"

"Of course not!" Baileys concealed the strange look in her eyes: "I suspect there's more to this than meets the eye. I'll report it when I get back."

Baileys composed herself and cleared her throat: "You'd better not meddle in this. Gin probably already knows you're still in Tokyo. If you cause him any more trouble, given his personality, he definitely won't let you off the hook!"

Louis remained silent, thinking to himself that if he were exposed, it would definitely be because of you, since he had only met Baileys a few times while staying in Tokyo.

However, he didn't care whether he was discovered or not. He waved and stepped into the elevator. Just before the elevator doors closed, he said:

"I'm not the kind of person who would tattle on someone to the boss, don't worry. I won't say anything. Consider it payment for you coming to the amusement park with me. Of course, you shouldn't tell Gin about me either."

The elevator doors closed.

"interesting."

Louis chuckled. "Looks like staying in Japan was a good choice. I'd like to see how Gin plans to deal with Shinichi Kudo. Shinichi Kudo not die, and that's not just a mistake by Gin. Death reports usually require seeing the body to confirm. Which country's rat is this? This is really interesting."

As she watched the elevator descend, Baileys stood expressionless for a long time. A blurry figure appeared in her mind, gradually merging with the person she had just seen.

After thinking for a long time, Baileys took out her phone and pressed a few buttons. The screen displayed a contact named Vermouth.

After Vermouth arrived in Japan, she was asked to inquire about Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo. She was also puzzled as to why Vermouth would investigate a dead person herself.

Now we finally have a clue. Vermouth probably suspected from the beginning that Shinichi Kudo wasn't dead. Although we don't know what the relationship is between Vermouth, Ran Mouri, and Shinichi Kudo, my sixth sense tells Bailey that it's safer to tell Vermouth about Shinichi Kudo than to tell Gin.

If you tell Gin, he will not hesitate to assassinate anyone, including members of the Mori, Kudo, and Natsukawa families, as well as anyone who knows about or is familiar with Shinichi Kudo!

Of course, this does not mean that she cares about human lives.

As a member of the Black Organization, the impact of the word "human life" on her had been completely worn away long ago after she was adopted by Vermouth in her teens.

Actually, all of this was done because of a man!
A man she had been thinking about for a long time.

Now she suspects that the man she has been thinking about for a long time might very well be Xia Chuan!

When Xia Chuan made his move, his figure and walking posture overlapped somewhat with the person who had saved him on the Sallybeth.

Xia Chuan was indeed present when the Sallybeth was on board. Considering the strength and speed he just displayed, as well as his knowledge of firearms, he is definitely not simple.

The possibility that the two are the same person is so high that it can be confirmed without verification!
Her intuition is rarely wrong; she's confident in that!

"Who exactly are you, and why did you save me back then?"

A strange light shone in Bailey's eyes as she lowered her head and dialed the number.

Soon, Vermouth's languid voice came through the phone.

"Mina, why are you calling me at this time? Did you find out why Louis is staying in Japan?"

"No."

Baileys, already used to Vermouth's tone, said directly, "Didn't you ask me to secretly investigate Ran Mouri before?"

"Hmm? Is something wrong?"

Vermouth took a sip of red wine, then shrank back a little into the bathtub, re-immersing her skin, which had been exposed to the air while holding the phone, into the water.

"I've discovered that Shinichi Kudo isn't dead. There's something wrong with the organization's death report!"

Vermouth was savoring a glass of fine red wine when she heard those words and froze. Unconsciously, her arm continued to rise, and strands of red wine slid down her jade-like neck and into the ditch.

After the splashing water subsided, Vermouth's voice came again, this time with a serious tone.

"Come back to see me, but don't tell anyone about this yet."

Vermouth seemed to remember something and added, "By the way, did Louis see it?"

“I saw it, but I’ve already warned him that there’s something wrong with the death report. It’s Gin’s fault. If this gets out, Gin will definitely be scolded by the boss. As long as Louis is still in Japan, he won’t dare to say anything.”

"Ah."

Vermouth nodded, hung up the phone, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

"Louis, I hope you won't be ungrateful!"

In the blink of an eye, Vermouth smiled brightly again: "I knew it! Yukiko didn't shed a single tear because her son went missing. There was definitely something wrong with her. And I was right!"

"However, I remember that during that period, the person who recorded the results of the medication was probably Shirley."

Baileys breathed a long sigh of relief.

As expected, Vermouth showed a special interest in Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri.

When Vermouth asked, "Did Louis see that?", Baileys knew she had made the right bet!

Unlike Gin, Vermouth has no intention of harming Shinichi Kudo, which allows her to keep Natsukawa's affair a secret.

"However, this is still not safe enough!"

Women are emotional beings, and Baileys is no exception.

After being rescued from her isolated and helpless situation, Sally Beth's heart underwent a subtle change.

Almost every day, Baileys would dream of that figure and that warm embrace. She didn't know why, but at least when the other person was in danger, she would subconsciously want to help him.

"Consider it repayment for saving my life!"

Baileys comforted herself in this way, a blush creeping onto her cheeks, and a hint of tenderness in her eyes that she herself did not notice.

She quickly suppressed this strange feeling, and on the way back, she couldn't help but start thinking about Louis's purpose.

"Judging from Louis's expression, it seems that his initial purpose in coming here was not to find Shinichi Kudo. Discovering that Shinichi Kudo was still alive was just a pleasant surprise."

Could it be Natsukawa?

"But they clearly haven't met before. Could it be that they have some kind of grudge that I don't know about, when they were abroad?"

It's not impossible.

Xia Chuan only appeared in Japan this year, so it's entirely possible that he had a conflict with Louis while he was abroad.

Furthermore, Xia Chuan may very well belong to a European force that is hostile to the organization.

"Is it an official government agency? Or is it another underworld force?"
