Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 343 Confirmed: A Pervert

Gin was very satisfied with Tequila's performance, but he didn't show it on his face.

"The case of Shinichiro has attracted the attention of both the National Taxation Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department. He has a history of heart disease, so it could be said that he suffered an accidental heart attack, but not long after, all his family members died. Even those idiots in the Metropolitan Police Department would have noticed something was wrong."

"They can't all be having heart attacks, can they?"

Gin turned to Vermouth: "By the way, you seem to be interested in Araide Tomoaki as well. I'm actually quite curious about what it is about Araide Yoshiteru that's worth your attention."

Vermouth was pondering the pros and cons of Araide Tomoaki being killed by sharks when she suddenly realized she had brought trouble upon herself. She immediately sneered, "Japan is your territory. I've only been here a short time. How could I possibly know what secrets Araide Yoshiteru has?"

"I just want an identity that I can use. Otherwise, it's so boring to stay in the base every day. I also want to go out and go shopping when I have nothing to do. Having a male identity can also help keep some unwanted suitors away from my little Mina."

“Yoshiaki Shinide is an outer member of the organization, and the organization has all the information about his family, so Tomoaki Shinide is a perfect target for my disguise.”

"Is that so?" Gin nodded silently.

Because of Yoshiteru Araide, the organization has indeed collected a lot of information about Araide. If Vermouth disguises herself as Tomoaki Araide, she can directly retrieve his information from within the organization, saving time on intelligence gathering.

That makes sense.

However, going shopping is a bit of an insult to one's intelligence.

Vermouth didn't want to talk about it, and there was nothing Gin could do about it, but as long as they were in Japan, Gin's every move was under his watchful eye, and he would definitely be exposed eventually.

"In that case, should we keep you here a few more days so you can observe the situation further?"

At this point, Gin couldn't help but chuckle: "Wait, since you personally came to ask me for specific information on Shinichiro, you've probably been observing him for a while now, haven't you?"

“That’s true.” Vermouth nodded. “After all, data doesn’t provide a visual representation. Theoretical knowledge needs to be combined with actual observation to achieve a perfect replica. The true essence of disguise is not just about the two words ‘disguise’.”

Vermouth stretched out her long legs and ruffled Gin's black trousers. "Of course, even if I'm very familiar with someone like you, I can't completely replicate you. After all, I don't have that much killing intent; it's kind of scary to look at."

Gin impatiently kicked his leg away.

"Tequila, when are you planning to make your move?"

Xia Chuan withdrew his gaze from the spectacle and blurted out, "Tomorrow night, before coming here, I slipped a hot spring tour voucher into the Shinjuku family. According to my plan, they will drive to Chiba Prefecture tomorrow evening. I will tamper with their car in advance and make it plunge off a cliff on one of the coastal sections."

"Then we'll detonate the prepared explosives and reduce the car and its occupants to ashes!"

“Okay, let’s do it that way.” Gin took a drag of his cigarette and continued, “Try not to leave any traces, and don’t let the authorities find out anything.”

"clear."

"It seems quite interesting."

Vermouth smiled gently, stood up, and walked to Xia Chuan's side.

Xia Chuan only felt a fragrant breeze, followed by a voice full of mature and sophisticated charm.

“I’d like to go take a look too. I hope it won’t affect your plans. If anything goes wrong, I can help out, since the vodka is still lying there.”

"No problem, actually no help is needed. I've arranged everything. You just need to watch the show."

Coastal road from Tokyo to Chiba.

As the sunlight gradually disappeared below the horizon, twilight descended, and darkness enveloped the desolate, winding road.

This is the performance route that Xia Chuan selected in advance.

"The time is coming."

Xia Chuan withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked to Vermouth's side.

"It won't be long before the entire Shinichi family appears on this road. Then, when they make a sharp turn, their brakes fail, and they plunge off the road into the sea. Because the front of the car hits a reef, it explodes, and the entire Shinichi family will be completely destroyed in the explosion."

"Because this section of the road is deserted, even if an explosion occurs, it will not be discovered. Afterwards, you can pretend nothing happened and return to Tokyo in place of Shinichiro Tomoaki. If anyone asks about the other two, you can say that you don't want to return to the countryside in Tokyo, a place that is full of sadness, because of Shinichiro Yoshiteru."

Vermouth, dressed in black leather, calmly replied to Xia Chuan's explanation: "You don't need to explain too much to me. I just need to watch them die. It won't affect the disguise. Do whatever you want with them."

"You don't need to teach me how to do things."

Vermouth's original idea was not to harm the newly ordained monks, but simply to kill Ariide Tomoaki and replace him. Ariide Tomoaki's family members were all ordinary people, and as long as she was careful enough while impersonating them, she would not be discovered.

After being treated like this by tequila, she was worried about potential problems later on.

But there was nothing she could do.

Tequila has begun to suspect the new family. As long as this family is still alive, there will be further surveillance and investigation. In the long run, this may expose her true purpose, which is not the result she wants to see.

Soon, a white sedan slowly came into view.

Vermouth grabbed the binoculars to observe.

The driver was Tomoaki Shinichi, with his aunt and grandmother in the back seat. The two in the back seat had already closed their eyes to rest, probably due to the long journey, while only Tomoaki Shinichi was still forcing himself to drive. "We're almost there. I hope you're satisfied with my plan."

Vermouth didn't speak. For some reason, she felt that something was wrong with the whole thing, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

It cannot be said that Tequila discovered her purpose, which is why it wanted to kill Shinide Tomoaki to influence her.

After all, during the time Gin was away, Tequila had already visited him at the base once or twice because of this matter. At that time, she had just begun to consider replacing Shinichiro, but had not yet put it into action. Tequila should not have known about this.

"coming."

Xia Chuan's words disrupted Vermouth's thoughts.

The white sedan had reached a cliff bend in the blink of an eye. Shinichiro's expression suddenly changed. He frantically slammed on the brakes, but the car not only didn't stop, it started to accelerate.

Before he could react, the car had already accelerated to 100 km/h.

From Vermouth's perspective, all she heard was a loud "bang" as the car crashed through the railing, plunged off the cliff, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

After a while!
Rumbling--

The firelight dyed the dark sea orange-red; the flames appeared quickly and dissipated just as fast, leaving only scattered car parts flying everywhere.

From an angle just out of sight of Vermouth and Natsukawa, a white figure burst out of the black smoke and sped away along the coastal cliff.

"Damn Xia Chuan, I never get the good things, but you always think of me for this thankless task."

Kaito felt extremely wronged. He had only returned to Japan a few days after the Dorobiga amusement park incident when Natsukawa dragged him over to temporarily fill in.

He glanced down at his suit, now stained black by the smoke, and felt a pang of heartache. He disappeared, cursing all the way.

When Xia Chuan and Vermouth arrived at the scene of the incident, they gently touched the real, damaged railing in front of them, which slightly eased Vermouth's suspicions.

Then he peered down the cliff.

Thick black fog filled the air, carrying the pungent smell of scrap metal mixed with a hint of sea salt, making it quite nauseating.

There were still some scattered embers on the rocks below, and even with the sea's best efforts to extinguish the flames, they were not completely put out.

Only half of the car's rear end remains above water; the rest is submerged and it shouldn't take long for it to be completely submerged.

“An explosion of this scale wouldn’t even give someone time to jump out of a moving vehicle, let alone someone like Tomoaki Niide who wasn’t prepared.” Natsukawa turned to Vermouth: “Now you should be relieved.”

"What are you talking about? I just came to check on things and to see what kind of expression Araide Tomoaki has when he's in despair. If you want your disguise to be perfect, you can't overlook any detail."

"Say what you will." Xia Chuan shrugged. "The mission is complete. If you have no questions about this operation, I'll be leaving now."

Xia Chuan took a few steps, then suddenly turned back, a smirk playing on his lips: "By the way, Brother Gin told me to tell you that he doesn't care what your purpose is in staying in Japan, but it's best not to interfere with the operations of the Japanese branch, otherwise..."

"How else?"

Xia Chuan didn't say anything. His motorcycle roared, and he did a stylish 180-degree spin on the spot, heading back the way he came.

Half an hour later, Natsukawa and Kaito met up.

"Damn it, there are so many mosquitoes in this weather. Can't you hurry up? You don't even have the attitude of asking for help."

He didn't want to wear his white suit at all when it got dirty, and since it was summer, he had only prepared a short-sleeved shirt. After waiting for half an hour, his arms were now bright red, covered in bite welts and red marks from his palms.

"What help? If Vermouth hadn't gotten involved, would I have needed to go through all this trouble?"

Xia Chuan smiled coldly: "In the end, isn't this a hidden danger left by your father? If he hadn't casually taught the art of disguise to women of unknown origin, this wouldn't have happened."

“Speaking of which,” Xia Chuan’s expression suddenly changed, and he raised his eyebrows: “Your father wouldn’t have been a lecher too, would he? He saw Vermouth’s amazing posture and couldn’t resist the temptation, so he betrayed your mother.”

Although Vermouth is as ruthless as a scorpion, it must be admitted that her appearance is absolutely rare. She has a curvaceous figure and large, round headlights, so it is understandable that Kuroba Toichi could not control her.

On a side note, Kuroba Toichi is indeed quite lewd.

In Magic Kaito's memories, Chikage Kuroba was inexplicably taken home by Kaito Kid on their first meeting, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't lecherous.

It was just a casual remark at first, but after thinking about it carefully, Xia Chuan realized that it was actually possible.

If disciplining the washing machine mom was due to their social status, then disciplining Vermouth must be because she's attracted to the car's headlights!
He's definitely a pervert.

"Pah! Your dad's the one who cheated!"

Kaito's expression darkened slightly. He couldn't say such things carelessly. If his mother heard him, she would tear down his father's grave and dig up his ashes to throw into the sea.
