Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 340 I really wanted to pull out my ID and slap it in Xia Chuan's face.
In front of Frank, four television screens were displaying images.

This is the CCTV footage from yesterday at Dorobiga Amusement Park.

Although the surveillance cameras of this era were not very clear, Frank still stared intently, searching for something within them.

Realizing he might be discovered, Xia Chuan naturally wouldn't sit idly by. Whether he was on the red team or the black team, he needed to investigate the other party's identity to avoid putting himself in a passive position.

Now that we've confirmed that the person we found is likely a codenamed member of the organization, things are much easier.

Xia Chuan hand-drew the code names of all the brewery members in Japan, allowing Frank to find them by comparing them with the amusement park's surveillance footage.

This method may be clumsy, but it works.

Unless they've all disguised themselves, they should definitely be found.

The organization's members don't always disguise themselves; on the contrary, they often show their real faces. After all, the technology of this era doesn't have facial recognition systems, so there's no need to worry about being discovered by the Japanese authorities after showing their faces.

Frank's energy had been significantly depleted. He yawned and said listlessly, "There are too many people. I estimate it won't be completely clear until tomorrow morning."

Watching surveillance footage is incredibly tedious and requires a lot of patience, but fortunately Frank is a total homebody and can stay patient.

"But don't you think your portrait style looks a bit like anime?"

"It's not my fault."

Xia Chuan thought to himself, "This is Aoyama's art style. He calls this style consistency. Frank can actually tell that this is an animation style. Has he already broken the fourth wall?"

Putting aside these strange ideas, Xia Chuan's thoughts returned to the main topic.

"Has anything unusual happened with Shinichiro in the last couple of days?"

"What problems could Shinichiro have? He wants to be a super agent every day. If I hadn't told him I had something to do tonight, he would have pestered me to learn some useless nonsense again."

Frank asked curiously, "Is it not enough that Gin killed Yoshiteru Shinide, is he planning to wipe out the Shinide family as well?"

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I'm worried about it."

A glint of light appeared in Xia Chuan's eyes.

At Teitan High School, Judy hasn't shown up yet. If Vermouth knew in advance, she might have already made a move against Araide Tomoaki before Judy arrived.

Therefore, he had to find a way to help Shinichi Michiyo escape unscathed.

For example, telling Gin that Aragaki Shinide might know about the organization's deal with Yoshiteru Shinide could lead Gin to give the order to kill.

In this way, Vermouth could obtain Araide Tomoaki's identity without doing anything, and he successfully saved Araide Tomoaki's life, killing two birds with one stone.

The two of them originally estimated that they could finish the work in the middle of the night, but Xia Chuan insisted that everyone has their own expertise and praised Frank's intelligence technology and ability to recognize people, which made Frank lose his bearings for a while and was successfully fooled by Xia Chuan.

By the time he realized what was happening, dawn had broken and it was already daylight.

Frank, his eyes red, approached Xia Chuan and shoved the computer into Xia Chuan's arms.

"After a night of tireless effort and twelve hours of hard work on eight screens, we finally found the target! Look, this woman must be Baileys."

Xia Chuan rubbed his eyes, stretched contentedly, and opened the window to check.

In the entrance ticket check screen, Baileys, dressed casually, walks into Dorobiga Park side by side with an ordinary-looking man.

The surveillance footage was edited and followed Baileys throughout, constantly jumping between different clips.

After entering the amusement park, the two did not focus on the rides like ordinary people. Instead, they looked around and eventually arrived at the observation deck.

The two stayed on the observation deck for a long time, during which time Shinichi Kudo and Conan also appeared in the frame.

"So it was her. That explains why Vermouth was the insider. I should have realized it sooner."

"But who is the other person?"

Xia Chuan tapped his fingers on the table, his thoughts entirely focused on another person.

Being able to walk alongside Baileys means you're at least a codename member of the organization.

That face is probably a disguise.

"Can we find out this person's identity?"

"Come on, this is an amusement park!"

Frank rolled his eyes: "Japan's identity system is not perfect. No ID is required to enter Dorobiga Amusement Park, so it's very difficult to find him in a short time. Moreover, this person will subconsciously lower his head when he encounters a surveillance camera, so he is very vigilant and it's impossible to see his face clearly."

"If it weren't for Baileys' distinctive features, I doubt I would have been able to recognize it."

To be honest, Baileys's features are too distinctive; it's hard to look away once you see them. Otherwise, given that the two were deliberately avoiding surveillance, he might not have been able to find them.

"This guy is unlike any other code name member of a brewery in Japan."

Xia Chuan frowned slightly. In this way, it was really hard to say who had sent him the message.

It's impossible for Baileys; the other party has been with the brewery for over a decade and is extremely loyal to Vermouth. There's no reason for them to leak information to her.

"Could he be a member of another branch?"

Xia Chuan couldn't help but think of that guy, Louis.

It shouldn't be. Louis and he had some grudges, after all, he was the one who stopped the other from saving his father-in-law. If they could put aside their past grievances, that would be too morally superior.

It would be a bit ridiculous if the second-in-command who was doing so well in Europe was also a spy for the Red Team.

Not everyone is named Amuro Tooru, and can single-handedly become a top intelligence leader.

Eliminated! Uh.
Speaking of Amuro Tooru, Natsukawa suddenly remembered that he was supposed to meet Yuri tonight.

Today seems to be the last day of her vacation; she has to go back to work tomorrow, so Joel invited him to her house for dinner tonight.

Joel knew that their relationship was somewhat strained, which was why he sought an opportunity to get closer to them. Xia Chuan certainly wouldn't refuse Joel's kindness.

Let's put aside the matter of who delivered the message for now. Frank is keeping an eye on Shinichiro's situation, and Gin should be back soon. We'll make plans after he returns.

……

night.

Yuri looked at Xia Chuan's two daughters and felt a pang of sadness.

Yuri suspects that Ai Haibara is actually Natsukawa's illegitimate child, and that saying she was found is just a way to cover it up. Her older sister is not married yet, but the man already has two daughters.

How many ex-wives does this guy have?

The thought of his investigation hitting rock bottom, and even the intervention of Furuya Rei being thwarted by Natsukawa, gave Yuri a headache.

"Xia Chuan."

"Yuri?"

Joel emphasized his words and stared intently at Yuri.

"Brother Xia Chuan"

Yuri's face darkened slightly. He said "brother" very softly and immediately changed the subject, saying, "I heard that the IRS has handled a lot of big cases recently, including the case of Representative Shigehiko Tonoguchi?"

"Logically, shouldn't this be a matter for the Public Security Bureau or the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Yuri asked the question knowing the answer, but what he really wanted to know was whether Natsukawa had learned about the existence of the brewery through Shigehiko Tonguchi.

Shigehiko Toguchi died so suddenly that the police didn't have time to investigate much before receiving news of his death. Shortly after, a fire broke out at Toguchi's house, killing all twelve people, including the maid.

Then the State Taxation Administration took over directly, and by the time the police realized what was happening, they only had one option left: clean up the fire scene.

Aside from the ashes of Shigehiko Tsunami's relatives, they got nothing else.

The fire was definitely the work of the brewery; their methods of destroying evidence were identical, and Furuya later confirmed his suspicions.

Therefore, we can only start with the IRS to see if they have gathered any information about the winery. If they have, he will definitely have to go to the IRS office when he is reinstated tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, Yuri, this is a state secret and cannot be disclosed casually."

Xia Chuan smiled inwardly. "You little brat, trying to gather information? I'll shut you down. Unless you reveal your identity as a police officer, don't even think about getting a single piece of information from me."

Yuri's lips twitched. After being a policeman for so long, this was the first time someone had tried to shut him up with such words. He really wanted to slap his police ID in Xia Chuan's face!

Yuri glanced at his sister, then swallowed the thought, feeling guilty.

"Why are you, an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking about this?"

Joel was very worried that the other party was being used by an official with ulterior motives.

Noticing his sister's strange look, Yuri shrank back. The bloodline suppression prevented him from asking any further questions, otherwise the bloodline suppression would turn into physical suppression.

Ai Haibara remained silent throughout, staring intently at the food in front of her.

Anyway, there's no point in talking anymore. She knows the organization's style all too well. Since they've targeted Shigehiko Tonguchi, they won't leave any evidence.

Is this Aunt Joel's cooking? If so, could she pretend to have a stomachache or no appetite? If she knew she was going to eat at Joel's house, she would have preferred to stay in the doctor's lab and eat instant noodles.

At least you won't faint on the spot.

"Natsukawa was indeed deliberately concealing it. The National Taxation Bureau must have already found clues about the Black Organization, otherwise a senator wouldn't be worth such attention."

"Yuri probably ran into trouble trying to get information from the IRS, so he turned his attention to me."

"Strange, Yuri seems off today. He's asking too many questions, and they're all about Natsukawa's work. Is it because someone is behind this?"

Listening to the thoughts of the three adults, Anya Doudou casually picked up a piece of crystal-clear shrimp and put it in her mouth.

Unlike Ai Haibara, she had been influenced by Natsukawa's culinary skills for a long time, and could tell from the smell that it was her father's cooking.

Because she knew that her father would definitely not dare to let Aunt Joel cook.

Unless he's suicidal.

"Tch, looks so-so." Yuri picked up a piece of chicken, said disdainfully, and then put it in his mouth to chew.

"She's so far behind my sister."

"."×3
As expected of the Japanese police, they don't even blush when they lie.

Anya silently complained to herself.

"Well, actually my cooking is just so-so, but Yuri, if you really want to eat, I..."

"No need!" ×3
"That's already a lot. Any more would be a waste. Ms. Kobayashi told us that we can't waste any food because there are still many places in the world where people don't have enough to eat."

Anya spoke with righteous indignation, but her heart was pounding. If Aunt Joel intervened, she would probably have to go home in bed again today.

The scene was too beautiful to bear.
