Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 362 Anya's Mischief Plan!

That evening, at the Mihana Center Building.

Anya hung up the phone in the lobby, confirming that Ai Haibara had returned home, which proved that Conan was now isolated and helpless, making it the perfect time for her to strike!
"Hey hey hey!"

"Serves you right for not calling me. I'll pretend to be passing by later, then sit next to Sister Xiaolan and see what you have to say!"

Anya crossed her arms and grinned, revealing two cute little tiger teeth. Her adorable appearance made passersby exclaim that they couldn't resist her.

Wearing a pink dress and holding her handbag by the shoulder strap, Anya strode into the elevator, pointing her sword at the observation deck restaurant.

As for how she knew the address, if she were even slightly cute, she could easily find out from her older sister, Xiaolan.
"Lookout Tower Restaurant"

Anya reached out to touch the elevator buttons, only to find that she was too tall to reach even the buttons for the lower floors, let alone the observation deck.

"Little friend, are you also going to the observation deck restaurant?"

Beside them, a soft-looking woman with medium-length brown hair, the ends of which covered one ear but revealed the other, suddenly asked, "Do you need my help?"

Anya turned her head and glanced at the other person. When she first saw the other person's hair color, her heart started racing. The hair reminded her of Ai Haibara, and she thought her little secret had been discovered.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the other person's appearance and height were different from Ai Haibara's.

"Phew, at least it wasn't Haibara."

Anya breathed a sigh of relief, quickly composed herself, blinked her pale green eyes, and said, "Thank you, sister. I'm going to the lookout restaurant now."

"The little one is so cute." The beautiful woman pressed the switch for the observation deck restaurant and asked with a smile, "By the way, where are your parents, little one? Why are you riding the elevator alone? Aren't you scared?"

“My father and mother are up there, and Anya isn’t afraid!”

Anya shook her head seriously, put her hands on her hips and said very proudly, "Ania is braver than Kamen Rider, and she once took a bullet for Bond. My father even praised me for being amazing!"

Uh?
Block bullets?
The beautiful woman chuckled lightly, unconcerned, and patted Anya's pink hair. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the elevator "ding." Looking up, she realized they had arrived at the observation deck restaurant.

"Mr. Oba is still waiting for me. Okay, kids, I have to go now. If you're free, you can come and play at our Tatsumi Amusement Park. We have lots of cute mascots there!"

The beautiful woman blinked her big eyes, wiggled her hips, and jogged away.

"I never expected to encounter such a temptation as soon as I arrived at the observation deck restaurant."

Anya's face was grim, her heart was racing, she swallowed hard, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

It is indeed somewhat attractive, but I won't be easily seduced!

Amusement rides, mascots.

"Slurp—glug."

"no!!"

Anya gripped her handbag tightly and stomped her foot forcefully. "Today's goal is to teach that arrogant Conan a lesson. We absolutely cannot allow any other problems to occur!"

Anya stepped out of the elevator, raised her small handbag, and shouted to herself to boost her morale: "You can do it, Anya!"

"Can what?"

From the left side of the dimly lit elevator corridor, a calm female voice rang out, then stepped out of the shadows, stood beside Anya, and placed her hand on her shoulder.

"."

Anya raised her hands above her head, her face stiff, her heart beating faster than when she first heard about the mascot.

She stiffly looked down at the hand on her shoulder, and then followed the palm to the person who had spoken.

"Haibara."

Anya darted away three or five meters, grabbed her bag and held it in front of her, then leaned against the wall, looking bewildered.

"What are you doing here, Haibara? Didn't you just say you were almost home?"

"Then why did you tell me you were sleeping in your room and that I shouldn't wake you up when I got home?!"

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes. She didn't know what Anya was planning to do at this time and place, but she was definitely after Ran and Kudo.

Her behavior was suspicious; she must have a camera in her small handbag. Considering Anya's habit of taking photos secretly, Ai Haibara suspected that Anya might have heard somewhere that Ran and Kudo were on a date tonight and took the photos secretly.

It's an inexplicable quirk, and I don't know who I inherited it from.

However, this won't do. There's a chance that Kudo could turn back into Conan at any time. If Anya finds out, it'll be like the whole world knows.

I should either keep Anya under my control or have Uncle Xia Chuan take her back.

The latter is not being considered for the time being, as there may be other unexpected events involving Xia Chuanlai, so the only option is the former.

As for Aunt Joel's side
I heard that Aunt Joel's brother fell from the tenth floor to the first floor while on her way to work, resulting in injuries all over her body. Since Joel has no other family members, she took leave to go back and take care of her brother.

"Um, I have something to do, so I'll be going now." Anya muttered under her breath, wishing Haibara hadn't heard her, and then quietly moved her feet, preparing to disappear from Haibara Ai's sight.

"stop!"

Ai Haibara grabbed Anya by the back of her collar. "This place is full of adults. What's fun for little kids like here? I found a huge mascot in the storage room. Go over there and play with it!"

“o(>﹏<)o No!”

Anya struggled desperately, but her efforts were in vain. Ai Haibara simply grabbed her by the back of her collar, dragging her like a suitcase.

A moment later, the two arrived at a storage room, and the door closed with a "click".

"Ania saw a sign at the entrance that said, 'Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering.'"

"Never mind that, let's stay here for now. Do you want to play Connect Four?"

Ai Haibara pushed Anya into a chair and sat down, then sat opposite her. This was a spot she had scouted beforehand, where she would eavesdrop on Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri's conversation using a bugging device. No, her purpose wasn't to eavesdrop on their conversation; her main goal was to determine when the effects of Kudo's medication would wear off.

Based on deductions and blood studies, the antidote has significant flaws; the transformation into a large child is likely temporary, and the child will probably revert to a child tonight.

That's why she's here.

Ai Haibara didn't tell Kudo about this beforehand so that when he shrunk, he would feel the terror of his secret being discovered.

Yesterday, Kudo almost drove her crazy when he took off his mask. They had agreed not to take it off and to reveal his identity to Ran backstage after the performance.

When the case came up, he took off his mask without thinking. There were at least twenty or thirty high school students present at the time. Fortunately, Hattori Heiji managed to cover it up, otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

At least the good days are definitely over!
etc.
Ai Haibara suddenly hesitated.

Because she ran into Anya, she completely forgot that she had gone out to use the restroom.

"."

Ai Haibara stared at Anya for several seconds, then tapped the table and said, "Don't go out, I'm going to the bathroom and I'll be right back!"

"Uh-huh."

Anya nodded obediently, but what she was really thinking remained a mystery.

Ai Haibara kept turning back to look at the door, and after closing it, she felt uneasy and locked the door as well.

Anya wasn't the kind of child who would listen to reason, so the only way to stop her from leaving was through force.

As expected, the moment Ai Haibara left the house, Anya immediately crouched down at the door to eavesdrop. Once she was sure the footsteps were gone, she began to try to open the door.

"click"

"It's locked! Damn it!"

Anya bit her lower lip, crossed her arms and racked her brains, her eyes gleaming as she searched for any possible way to leave.

The more Ai Haibara tried to stop her, the more she wanted to sit next to Ran.

"Well!"

At one point, Anya's eyes lit up as she spotted an exhaust pipe on the upper part of the side wall of the room.

The exhaust pipe isn't very high up, and there's a fairly large table underneath it. With a little padding, you can climb inside.

"I've chosen you!"

Without hesitation, Anya excitedly lifted the small stool from the ground, her face flushed, and moved it to the table. She stood on tiptoe to try and reached it, finding it just right.

The louvered vent of the exhaust pipe was recessed, and Anya easily removed it with just a little force from her arm.

Then she stuffed herself inside, wriggling like a caterpillar. The dust inside was a bit pungent, but Anya did not hesitate at all and continued to wriggle.

The dark pipes only allowed visibility for a short distance ahead. After the first corner, things improved considerably, with a few small points of light occasionally illuminating the pipes.

Anya moved to the front to take a look and found that they all had louvered windows like those in a storage room, which could be removed and lowered down.

Anya crawled past two downhill exits and peered out. She saw the restaurant, with faint piano music drifting down from below.

Anya thought for a moment, shook her head, and continued to wriggle.

This spot won't work. Not only is it too high, but she'll also be easily spotted in the middle of the restaurant if she goes down. Then the waitress will definitely take her away and contact her father.
I think I'll pass and see.

Anya continued on her way, searching for a suitable spot, and even spotted Kudo and Ran sitting opposite each other, chatting.

"Conan definitely looks better when he's shorter. Now his head's gotten so small, he looks like a deformed gourd and isn't cute at all."

Anya commented, "Keep moving forward."

As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and she soon found a perfect downstream location.

“It’s decided to be here!”

There were only two people below, their heads close together, and the dim lighting made it impossible to see their faces or what they were doing.

"Haibara has probably already finished using the restroom and gone back by now. If I go down there, I definitely won't run into her!"

Anya deduced for a moment, nodded vigorously, gently pulled down the blinds, and then peeked down.

"."

“So high—”

Anya swallowed hard, feeling a little scared. The height of over two meters made her hesitant to jump.

Then she stretched out her short legs and tried it.

"Do you want to forget?"

Anya pondered for a long time before shaking her head and preparing to pull her foot back. She decided against it; she was afraid of falling and dying.

Unless she rides directly on top of those two people's heads, which would obviously be impolite.

"Mr. Oba, don't speak, just kiss me—"

"???"

Anya was suddenly startled; the voice sounded so familiar.

In that moment of distraction, Anya suddenly realized she couldn't straighten up. Looking closer, she discovered her small handbag had been caught on the corner of the ventilation duct opening.
