Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 34: The Friendly Inspector Megure (Please continue reading)
IRS was very efficient; the helicopter arrived in Tokyo that afternoon and landed at the agreed-upon location in the suburbs.

Xia Chuan and Frank together took the body to the high seas to feed the sharks.

Unfortunately, Frank couldn't fly a helicopter himself, and it wasn't appropriate to ask the IRS to handle this matter. Luckily, Xia Chuan didn't have anything else to do today.

There's been absolutely no news about tequila today.

After delivering the items to the Beika Library last night, he drove his small truck away from Tokyo, and his GPS signal has not been restored yet.

"Are you sure you don't need me to enroll you in an all-inclusive driving school course in Hawaii?"

In the GTR, Xia Chuan drove with one hand, speeding along the highway.

He turned to look at the withdrawn Frank.

Throughout the journey, he kept recommending the Hawaii Driving School to Frank.

Cars, tanks, airplanes, helicopters, airships, and yachts—you name it, Conan can learn it and say it's great.

"How could there be such a driving school? You must be joking." Frank said sullenly. He was really bad at driving; he couldn't even drive a car. He could only barely make a living by taking taxis.

The main reason is that when he was a child, Xia Chuan encouraged him to drive a car, which ended up in the river, and he developed a phobia of driving.

He remembered that he was probably in the first year of middle school at that time.

Xia Chuan secretly took him out for a drive in the orphanage director's car. At first, Xia Chuan drove, but later he felt that driving wasn't so difficult. In addition, Xia Chuan kept encouraging and provoking him, so he couldn't help but give it a try.

You won’t know if you don’t try, but you’ll be shocked if you try.

The car startled me.
The car drove straight into the river. He couldn't distinguish between the accelerator and the brake at all. In his panic, he stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake, and the speed had already accelerated to 120 miles per hour when he entered the river.

Fortunately, because he was nervous, he didn't move the steering wheel at all and kept it firmly in place; otherwise, there were telephone poles and railings on the left, and if he had hit them, they would probably have been deformed.

Fortunately, Xia Chuan was a very good swimmer, which allowed them to pull him out of the river.

The two were almost expelled from the orphanage afterward.

"Of course there is."

Xia Chuan firmly believed this.

Conan talks about Hawaii all the time, so maybe there really are driving schools like that in Hawaii.

After all, Conan really can fly a plane!
The time soon came to evening.

There was no news about tequila all day, and Xia Chuan was almost bored to death.

I was planning to pick Anya up from school in the afternoon, but Anya called ahead of time, saying that her junior detective club was going to supplement their knowledge.

Xia Chuan just treated it as a joke.

He had witnessed Anya's achievements during this period.

The best part is the entrance exam; things get progressively worse after that.

He had tried tutoring Anya, but Anya was like a rock in a cesspool—hard and smelly, and she couldn't learn anything.

Unfortunately, we had no choice but to give up and leave this problem to Ms. Kobayashi.

Anyway, I'll be in first grade for twenty years. Even a pig will eventually figure it out.

It's just a bit tough on Ms. Kobayashi.

In that case, should we bring Shiratori and her together beforehand?
This matter is pending.

Natsukawa hasn't gotten to know the Metropolitan Police Department well yet, and Inspector Megure hasn't seen him take Shiratori Ninzaburo with him on patrol. Maybe he hasn't come to forcibly commit a crime against the Third Division yet.

When he arrives, I'll help introduce Teacher Lin.

This can also be considered as doing Takagi a favor by eliminating a powerful and wealthy competitor in advance.

The main point is that he felt guilty towards Ms. Kobayashi for giving him such a problem student.

As Anya's parent, he expressed his deep sorrow and grief.

I had just thought of Anya when Anya called.

Xia Chuan checked the time; it was almost six o'clock. Perhaps Anya wanted him to pick her up and take her home.

"Father, could you come to the Mika Library?"

When the call connected, Anya's words made Xia Chuan unable to help but grin.

Good grief, the Grim Reaper elementary school student took my daughter to a murder scene again, didn't he? So, going to the Beika Library is how he replenishes his knowledge.

After two days of fermentation, Tamada Kazuo's body probably already has a smell.

Anya sounded a little scared, and as her father, Xia Chuan immediately said, "I know, Anya, be a good girl and wait for your father at the Mika Library."

A dozen minutes later, Natsukawa arrived at the Mika Library.

The Mihana Library would usually be closed by this time, but today it's still brightly lit. As expected, there are police cars with flashing red and blue lights parked at the entrance.

It must have been Conan who discovered Tamada Kazuo's body in the elevator.

"Sir, you cannot go in."

At the door, a police officer stopped Natsukawa. Natsukawa had never seen this officer before; he seemed to be new and didn't match the officer he had seen at Tsujimura's house.

It seems they've forced a new recruit into the third department.

"What happened? My daughter is still inside," Xia Chuan said, and then a police officer came out.

The police officer also saw Xia Chuan at the door, and his eyes lit up instantly.

This police officer was the same one that Natsukawa had met at Tsujimura's house earlier.

"Officer, can you let me in?"

Xia Chuan raised his hand to greet the police officer, ignoring the new officer in front of him and upholding the law impartially.

"Oh, it's Mr. Natsukawa. Inspector Megure just said that if you're here, you can just go in. They're in the children's book section on the fourth floor."

Xia Chuan looked at the other person with some surprise. What was wrong with him today? Why was Inspector Megure being so nice? Did his personal charm win him over?

That's right, he's now in Inspector Megure's brother's contact list.

As Xia Chuan walked into the library, the new police officer at the entrance looked at the officer who had just come out of the library with some confusion.

"Didn't Inspector Megure just say yesterday that unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter the crime scene?"

He remembered that the other person had been scolded, so why was he still behaving like this today? Didn't he learn his lesson?

The officer who arrived later shook his head. "Mr. Natsukawa's daughter is inside, and there are some things she seems to only want to tell her father."

Following the instructions, Xia Chuan arrived at the fourth floor.

Looking back at the elevator, Xia Chuan felt something was off.

The elevator was not sealed off, and the body probably had not yet been discovered. The stench of the corpse had already spread into the elevator as it ascended.

On the fourth floor, Xia Chuan knocked on the glass door of the children's book section before going inside.

The once-normal book section was ransacked by police officers, with all the books stacked on the ground and some transparent plastic, which should have been the original packaging plastic for the books, torn off. Even the bookshelves were basically emptied.

Standing next to Inspector Megure was a short-haired woman with a great figure, dressed in a light-colored business suit. The skirt fell above her thighs, and she wore high heels. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her slender, fair arms, and she looked extremely capable.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be Miwako Sato.

A female police officer at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

In addition, many police officers were taking stock of something at the desks in the reading area.

Anya, Conan, and the other five members of the Junior Detective League stood aside and chatted quietly.

"Officer Megure."

Natsukawa first greeted Inspector Megure, then nodded to Miwako Sato, who was looking at him, before continuing to ask:
"What happened? Why is it translated like this?"

Inspector Megure patted Natsukawa on the shoulder familiarly and explained, "It was Conan who called the police, saying that traces of drugs were found hidden in the Beika Library."

"poison?"

Natsukawa feigned surprise and sighed, then asked somewhat strangely, "Isn't Inspector Megure from the First Investigation Division? Aren't drugs handled by the First Investigation Division?"

In the original story, Inspector Megure was the one who handled the case in the end because there was a murder case. But now that Tamada and the male corpse at the top of the elevator have not been found, why are they still the ones who came?

Does the Metropolitan Police Department only have one department, the First Investigation Division?

In his mind, matters concerning drugs should be handled by the Drug Control Division of the Organized Crime Control Department under the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Hehe, Brother Natsukawa, you seem to know quite a bit about our Metropolitan Police Department." Inspector Megure seemed eager to build a relationship with Natsukawa, his smile making Natsukawa frown.

What on earth is going on? When did Inspector Megure become like this?

This is nothing like Inspector Megure's behavior.

I'm not Uncle Mori, there's no need for me to do this.

"Actually, we were investigating the disappearance of Tamada Kazuo, an employee of the Beika Library, downstairs when Conan called us over, saying that he had discovered drugs. The Organized Crime Countermeasures Department was busy, and since we happened to be there, we took over the case."

So?

What does this have to do with your friendly attitude?
Seemingly noticing Natsukawa's confusion, Inspector Megure pointed to Anya standing to the side, "Little Anya said she has something very important to tell me, but she'll only speak when her father, that is, Natsukawa, arrives."

Uh?
And this thing?

Xia Chuan turned to look at Anya.
