Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 342 Are you afraid to die?
Shinichiro forced himself to calm down and turned to check other things.

Sure enough, the wardrobe and drawers had been disturbed, and the hair was gone.

The person who did it probably never expected an ordinary person to make such a setup in their own room, and was completely unaware of his scheme.

During this time, Shinichi even found a small eavesdropping device on the back of the drawer.

A cold sweat slowly broke out on Shinichiro's back. Before encountering them, he was thinking about how to bring down that organization, but when he suddenly saw those guys silently break into the room and install listening devices, he immediately panicked.

Clearly, Shinichiro's mindset is still not good enough.

"Don't rush. As Mr. Frank said, staying calm is the basic mindset for an informant!"

Shinichiro's legs were trembling, but he gritted his teeth, suppressed his emotions, and pretended nothing had happened, walking out of the room as usual.

He's going to find Frank and Xia Chuan!

Regardless, since the other party was able to enter his room and leave listening devices, there must be others in other rooms as well. He must immediately communicate with Xia Chuan to find a solution.

He also has his grandmother and Aunt Yangzi; he absolutely cannot let them get into danger!

Natsukawa had anticipated the situation with Shinichiro, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. It seemed that Vermouth truly valued her godson.

In just two or three days, they had already decided on Shinichiro Araide as the person to disguise himself.

Of course, it's also possible that Vermouth had already planned to infiltrate Teitan High School, and that Araide Tomoaki, the new school doctor, had less time to spend with the school's teachers and students, making it easier for him to impersonate her.

Furthermore, thanks to Yoshiteru Shinide's connections, the organization had a complete collection of information about Shinide, laying a solid foundation for their disguise.

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry yet!"

Perhaps because he had been suppressing his emotions the whole way, Shinichiro was on the verge of exploding.

Xia Chuan forcefully pressed Shinichiro down onto the sofa, picked up a glass of water, and turned away to add some tranquilizer to it.

"Drink some water, relax, and then come back to chat with me. Your current state will not only not help you, but will also affect my judgment."

"."

Shinichiro took the water and gulped it down, then stood up again and paced back and forth.

His face was flushed and his lips were pale, giving him the appearance of a dying man experiencing a final burst of energy, showing that he was truly terrified.

“You’ve learned everything I’ve taught you recently, but in our line of work, you have to maintain a stable mindset and not have too many emotional fluctuations. You’re a perfect example of what not to do.”

“But Aunt Yangzi and my grandmother are at home. They are my only two remaining relatives. I don’t want anything to happen to them.”

The medicine began to take effect, and Shinichiro's condition improved slightly. Remembering his earlier offense, he immediately apologized to Natsukawa.

All that had happened before made Araide Tomoaki unconsciously place his hopes on Natsukawa, asking hopefully, "Mr. Natsukawa, no matter what, you must protect Aunt Yoko and Grandma. I'm not afraid of being in danger, or even becoming an informant, but they're old. If anything happens to them, it will be terrible."

Frank jumped out, confidently patting his chest:

"Don't worry, our protection measures for informants are very comprehensive. We predicted the possible problems long ago. Isn't it a coincidence that the current problem is exactly in our question bank, and we happen to have a solution?"

Shinichiro was slightly confused. This sounded impressive, but coming from Frank, it seemed a bit unreliable.

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Shinichiro grabbed Frank's hands and said, "In that case, Mr. Frank, please tell me. I'm willing to do anything to ensure the safety of Aunt Yoko and Grandma."

"Is that so?" Frank smiled eerily and said in a low voice, "I'm telling you to die, aren't you scared?"

Shinichiro was clearly taken aback for a moment, subconsciously taking two steps back and clutching the hem of his clothes; he really hadn't considered this.

He's read a lot of shonen manga, that's true, and he knows that safety comes at a price, but sending him to his death is clearly unreasonable! This world isn't Dragon Ball; he can't be brought back to life!
"All right!"

Xia Chuan quickly stopped him, fearing that if Frank continued to cause trouble, Shinichiro Tomoaki would be scared to death.

"I'm not telling you to really die. This move is called 'Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell,' a strategy of 'putting yourself in a desperate situation to survive.' I've meticulously planned an accident for your whole family. As long as you follow the script, it'll definitely work."

“They probably suspect that other members of your family know about your father’s affairs, and they won’t be worried about being exposed as long as you are ‘dead’.”

"Wouldn't that be too dangerous? Besides, my aunt and grandmother don't know anything about my father's affairs. If they find out, they might be assassinated, and they might even faint from fright, let alone put on a show for others."

"Don't worry, that's not a problem at all." Natsukawa whispered mysteriously in Araide Tomoaki's ear, "When the time comes, you'll just do this..."

"Is this really okay? What if that organization notices something amiss? Falling into the sea doesn't necessarily mean death. What if they go into the sea to check?"

"You can rest assured about that. I will borrow a few cadavers from the hospital. When you fall into the sea, you just need to jump out of the car in time and then let the car explode. That will make it look like a secret! We will be there to help you."

Frank nodded seriously: "Don't worry, the 'switcheroo' method is very effective. We've already saved at least twenty or thirty people this way, there won't be any problems!"

"Swoosh! Ah-li-a-dou!"

Upon learning of the numerous cases already reported, Shinichiro was clearly much relieved.

Over the next few days, Shinichiro would take every opportunity to peek at the "switching the prince" plan given to him by Frank, memorizing all the key points.

Meanwhile, Natsukawa finally received news that Gin had returned to Tokyo.

Upon receiving the message from Vodka, Xia Chuan rushed to the base immediately.

Of course, he didn't rush to find Gin, but instead took a fruit basket to visit Vodka first. Vodka's condition improved faster than the doctor had expected; he could now walk a little, at least not to the point where even raising his arm hurt like before.

Upon seeing Xia Chuan for the first time, Vodka immediately put away the detective novel his older brother had given him.

I've finished reading the novel, and now I'm reading it again on my second read.

I have to say, the eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother; he actually thought of using detective novels to improve his reasoning skills.

"Hehehe!" Vodka said with a look that said, "My reasoning was right after all. It's just as I thought, Big Brother and Vermouth. Hearing that Big Brother was back, Vermouth was even more anxious than you. It's been half an hour now, and she's still in Big Brother's room. Normal colleagues wouldn't act like this. Who knows what they're doing in the room."

"Perhaps there's some task we need to discuss?"

Natsukawa believed that Vermouth wanted to see Gin to test Shinichi Kudo in person.

"Impossible. There's no need for Vermouth in Japan. The US branch is basically finished. There's no way there could be any work-related matters between them."

"It must feel like three autumns have passed in a single day."

Vodka raised an eyebrow and grinned lewdly.

Xia Chuan shook his head, indicating that the sunny and cheerful young man couldn't understand what Vodka was saying.

However, he did not continue to refute, and Vodka was not wrong to insist on shipping this pairing.

On a side note, Vermouth and Gin do seem like a good match at first glance.

Before Vodka could say anything more, the phone next to him suddenly rang.

"Your older brother wants you to come over."

Xia Chuan nodded and cautioned, "Don't say things like that. If your brother finds out you're spreading rumors about him, he'll definitely give you a good beating."

"(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~"

Vodka looked disdainful, but inwardly he agreed with Xia Chuan's reminder; these words were indeed not to be spoken carelessly.

If this gets back to the boss, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xia Chuan quickly arrived at the door of the Gin room on the basement level.

After knocking, Gin's voice came from inside.

Upon opening the door, Xia Chuan took a deep sniff. There was no strange smell; the only scents in the air were Vermouth's perfume and tobacco.

Well, Vodka's guess was wrong. Gin was perfectly normal and didn't do anything embarrassing.

Wait, why is Vermouth still here?

Xia Chuan was somewhat puzzled.

Vermouth, dressed in a tight red dress, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. The red dress barely covered her hips, revealing her sexy and alluring long legs.

In the basement level, where there are practically no people, I don't even know who I'm dressing up for.
Do women dress up for those who appreciate them?

Damn it, the gossip about vodka is contagious!
Vermouth rested her chin on her hand, looking at the tequila in front of her, somewhat curious about the other person's purpose in seeking out Gin.

Because of her godson, Vermouth is a bit sensitive. Whenever someone wants to meet with Gin, she feels that the conversation might be related to her godson.

"You can tell me what you need me for now."

Gin was also a little curious. It was quite rare for Tequila to come to him with something; normally, it was Gin who would give him tasks.

Xia Chuan glanced at Vermouth and thought that it was perfect that she was here. It would be more effective to report his plan to kill Shinichiro at this time, and Vermouth would be less likely to suspect him.

"It's about Yoshiteru Niide."

"Isn't he already dead?" Gin frowned and asked in confusion, "Could it be that Yoshiteru Shinide left behind something that could affect the organization?"

Gin didn't doubt the news of Yoshiteru Araide's death. He still believed in Tequila's methods. They had even used APTX4869. There was no other possibility but death.

“Recently I have noticed that the three newly ordained monks are clearly keeping to themselves and rarely going out. I am worried that Yoshiteru Shinichi’s family may know about his affairs, and I have to be careful about this.”

"What do you propose?"

Gin raised an eyebrow; he hadn't noticed that.

An ordinary peripheral member wouldn't have caught his attention at all. When he issued the mission to Tequila, he only asked a peripheral member to help organize the data. He even forgot that Yoshiteru Shinichi had a family.

"Silence them!"

A cold glint flashed in Xia Chuan's eyes, and his flat voice was devoid of any emotion.

"I think that regardless of whether you know the truth or not, just kill them. There's no need to overthink it."

Vermouth narrowed her eyes slightly.
He thought to himself that there was a reason why Gin appreciated Tequila; her attitude of not caring about human lives was exactly the same as Gin's.
