Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 357 Come on, let's see your brother-in-law do a split first!
But now he found the door tightly shut, as if it had never been opened before.

This is impossible!

This detail suggests that Yuri already knew there would be a tough battle tonight, and the door might already be locked from the inside.

Ichiro Ishimoto likely sees him as a sitting duck.

It's likely that some kind of camera or alarm system was installed somewhere, which detected him the moment he entered.

Or perhaps his suspicions stemmed from the diarrhea he experienced during the day.

This is not impossible. If the other party is a well-trained spy or assassin with strong drug resistance, the occurrence of diarrhea is extremely rare.

"Damn it, I can't believe I only just discovered this vulnerability now!"

Realizing he had been exposed, Yuri's heart sank to the bottom.

Although he knew the layout of the detached house very well, this was, after all, Ichiro Ishimoto's home, and the other party's knowledge of the place was far beyond his own. There was no guarantee that there might be some special arrangement, so he needed to be extremely careful.

"Hey, is there any situation outside?"

He asked the earpiece in a low voice, his expression serious and wary of his surroundings. This situation was far too passive, and there was no room for the slightest mistake.

"There's no sound outside. If I had to say something, a black dog just peed next to me. Boss, is something wrong?"

Number 1 asked with suspicion, glancing over the wall to make sure there was no movement, and then stated confidently:

"He definitely hasn't spotted us, boss. Don't worry, with the two of us watching outside, there won't be any problems!"

I didn't find your grandma's ball!

Yuri cursed inwardly. He had already been discovered, yet he was still told there was no danger. Ishimoto Ichiro was probably still laughing at him.

"Same here."

Hearing the voice of number 2, Yuri's heart sank completely. He thought to himself that his teammates were unreliable and that he had to rely on himself when it mattered most. He had to go back and strengthen the training of his teammates!
"You all stay outside and keep watch. Ishimoto Ichiro might try to escape, so we have to be careful."

"Yes!"×2
Yuri shut down the communication, sneered, and cracked his neck slightly.

"Are you treating me like prey? Is this looking down on me, or are you overestimating yourself?"

His marksmanship is legendary, with few rivals among the police. His physical skills are also exceptional, making him a natural-born combat genius. Even before joining the police force, his fighting abilities were already quite advanced.

Of course, this is all because his older sister "trains" him whenever she has a spare moment.

Therefore, he was worried about this little trick but not afraid.

If all else fails, he can still take a beating!
"Crash-"

There was another sound, this time from the direction of the toilet; the sound of running water was extremely jarring.

It felt like stepping onto a horror movie set; the toilet seemed to be about to crawl out like Sadako, who had just started her period.

Yuri remained unfazed, rolling over to get closer to the toilet, half-squatting with his back against the wall, staring intently at the toilet door.

However, the sound of water only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing, as if deliberately trying to attract his attention.

Yuri peeked out and looked around, but found nothing.

"I can't let him lead me by the nose anymore. He's wearing down my patience and energy, constantly putting pressure on me before delivering a fatal blow!"

Yuri's mind raced, and he immediately realized Ishimoto Ichiro's purpose.

Next, two more strange noises occurred, but Yuri paid them no heed. He simply focused his attention on finding the other party's location.

"As expected of the police."

Xia Chuan chuckled, preparing to increase his intensity. With a "whoosh," he darted forward.

The strong wind from the high speed and the deliberately exposed footsteps were very obvious. Yuri didn't hold back this time and turned around to fire two shots.

The silencer emitted blue smoke, and two bullets hit the wall, but there was no one in sight.

Failed!
Yuri wasn't discouraged. He was certain that what he had just heard was footsteps. So what did this mean? Did they intend to use this method to expend bullets?

He scoffed. This was a gross underestimation of the Japanese police. It was just that a pistol was more convenient; once they ran out of bullets and engaged in close combat, the outcome was uncertain.
"Shh-"

Xia Chuan flashed past Yuri again, leaving only a blur in the darkness. His footsteps were silent, and Yuri almost missed him if he hadn't had good eyesight.

"Shhhhh-"

Yuri fired three shots in quick succession, seemingly more eager than his opponent to empty his magazine.

"Come out, you can't escape!"

Yuri snorted and shrank back into the living room, his back soaked with sweat. His appearance and disappearance were indeed a bit frightening.

After waiting for two minutes and finding no movement outside, Yuri couldn't help but peek out several times.

The corridor was quiet on both sides. If it weren't for the bullet holes he had left in the wall, he would have thought he was dreaming.

Yuri observed carefully, finally fixing his gaze on a room deep in the corridor.

It seems like this is the only room left that hasn't been checked.

In the short time he had just finished searching, he had basically searched every place and kept squeezing the space in the other person's room.

If the other party is still in the house, there should be no other possibility except for the innermost room in the corridor.

Without hesitation, Yuri lowered his pistol and walked intently to the door.

He frowned after turning the doorknob with a "click".

The room was locked.

No, that shouldn't be the case. Locking a room makes a sound. He didn't hear anything like that just now. If Ichiro Ishimoto had gone into the room, the noise wouldn't have escaped his ears.

The doubt came quickly and went quickly, because he sensed someone standing behind him.

This feeling came suddenly, and I couldn't explain why. It was probably due to years of accumulated experience in tasks.

Yuri turned around abruptly and kicked him, without questioning his own senses.

Xia Chuan was slightly startled, but not flustered at all. He dodged the kick by turning to the side, grabbed the ankle with his hand, and kicked at Yuri's other foot, which was used for support.

This kick held no power whatsoever. Since Yuri could withstand Joel's blow, he probably wouldn't be able to harm him even if he didn't use his full strength.

Come on, let's see you do a split for your brother-in-law first!
However, Xia Chuan was disappointed; his kick missed completely!

Using his restrained ankle as leverage, Yuri leaped up, twisted his body 180 degrees, and kicked Xia Chuan in the chest.

It was only then that he realized the person who came was dressed the same as him, all in black, and was clearly not Ishimoto Ichiro. Ishimoto Ichiro wouldn't need to dress like that at home, unless he had something wrong with his head.

Strange. Who is this guy?
Yuri kicked Xia Chuan in the chest, but it felt like kicking a hard boulder. Although Xia Chuan took a few steps back, Yuri wasn't much better off, as his legs went numb from the impact.

Fortunately, this kick freed the restrained ankle.

Yuri distanced himself and looked back at the bedroom. If it was this masked man who had been speaking just now, then where was Ishimoto Ichiro?

After firing so many shots, he couldn't believe that Ishimoto Ichiro hadn't noticed. Sure enough, Ishimoto Ichiro was in the room, perhaps even eavesdropping at the door, and might have discovered his weakness and launched a sneak attack.
