Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 373 You don't mean you don't want to eat your sister's cooking, do you?

The call was answered quickly after two beeps.

Is that Natsukawa?

Hearing his girlfriend's voice after a long time, Xia Chuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and the fatigue of the past few days vanished.

Joel's voice was slightly languid and tired, and Xia Chuan could even imagine what kind of state Joel was in.

"Taking care of Yuri must be tiring, right? I'll go see Yuri tomorrow and bring him some things that might be helpful for his injuries."

"Fortunately, Yuri is such a worry. He rolled down the stairs from the tenth floor to the first floor, and no one noticed or helped to stop him. I even suspect that he is not well-liked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Is this the point?

Xia Chuan was speechless and choked with emotion.

Shouldn't we question the authenticity of the story of someone rolling from the tenth floor to the first floor at this point?

Unless the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building has a spiral staircase, you should stop at any corner.

Xia Chuan didn't want to elaborate on how ridiculous this excuse was; all he could say was that Joel trusted Yuri too much, otherwise he wouldn't have been unaware for so long that Yuri was actually a public security officer.

Xia Chuan didn't bother her too much, and chatted briefly about some interesting things that had happened in the past few days, as well as how disobedient Anya was.

The call ended after the porridge had been cooking for only an hour.

The next day, at the Joel's house.

Xia Chuan went to the meeting alone, without bringing either of the two children. He only brought things that would be useful for Yuri's injuries, as well as some ingredients he bought along the way.

Today, I'm determined to let Joel eat his cooking, and then he'll be fully revived on the spot!

"Boom boom boom!"

"click"

The door opened, and Xia Chuan's smile froze halfway.

Yuri stood at the door, his face wrapped in bandages, making his facial expression difficult to discern.

But in terms of appearance, Yuri looked like a broken sculpture, his body covered in wounds haphazardly wrapped in bandages, looking disheveled and miserable.

The only part that looked different was the bandage on Yuri's face, tied behind his ear in a cute white bow.
"This was done by Joel?"

Xia Chuan held back his laughter, thinking to himself that it was good that he had brought Shinichiro under his command. If he had been injured and entangled like this, his mentality would probably have collapsed, his wounds would probably have reopened, and he wouldn't even dare to go out and see people.

"What's it to you?!"

Yuri glared at Natsukawa with annoyance and pulled the bow back a little.

However, when it was pulled like that, the bandage was stretched unnaturally, and the lips were also affected and turned to one side, which was quite funny.

"Is that Natsukawa? Yuri, don't block the door, let Natsukawa in!"

Yuri scoffed and reluctantly moved aside, giving Xia Chuan some space to be alone.

Xia Chuan entered the room and, as if they were old friends, put his things away.

"Ok?"

Xia Chuan suddenly noticed that Joel was wearing an apron and washing dishes in the kitchen, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

"This is?"

Yuri walked over lightly: "What else could it be? Of course, it's my sister making breakfast for me this morning. It's been so long since I've had your breakfast, it's still as delicious as ever."

Xia Chuan carefully observed Yuri's expression and found that the other party's demeanor did not seem fake; the joy he felt was genuine.

"."

To be fair, there's a reason why Louis couldn't defeat Yuri.

Yuri's physical training, both internal and external, has likely made him several times, even ten times, stronger than the average person. His numerous wounds are good proof of this.

That night, after the fight, he was able to carry two colleagues away, and today he's full of energy again. This reminded him of Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle," which must be all thanks to Joel, who unintentionally unlocked Yuri's potential.

Xia Chuan shivered, glanced at the ingredients that had just been placed on the table, and thought about whether he should skip lunch or cook it himself.

Make up an excuse, like saying the gas was left on at home? Or, could Frank suddenly have a stroke and have to go save his hard-won brother?
Joel didn't give Xia Chuan much time to think and immediately dismissed the idea.

"I'll wash the dishes and the vegetables later. I'll cook lunch, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Joel said with a smile.

Yuri's performance these past two days has given her confidence, making her realize that cooking isn't actually that difficult. She thought that the previous food poisoning incidents were probably related to pots and pans, and that the same thing would definitely not happen this time.

Xia Chuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but Yuri pulled him out of the kitchen.

"Your sister rarely cooks, so you don't mean you don't want to eat her cooking, do you?"

Yuri shouted loudly, which made Joel stick half his head out.

Xia Chuan forced a smile; having been hoisted up, he had no way out.

"Of course not, I miss Joel's cooking too. Joel, lunch is all yours today!"

Joel nodded vigorously, then in his excitement crushed the porcelain plate in his hand, frantically pulling his head back.

"."

Xia Chuan sensed his brother-in-law's malice and thought to himself that the lesson of being covered in bandages was too lenient; he still had the leisure to set a trap for him.

Is this a plan to take everyone down with them?
No, that's not right. Yuri will probably just shed a few tears, but he'll be in real trouble. He might just collapse to the ground.

If I had known about this, I would have booked an ambulance for myself before coming here. Well, it's not impossible to book one now!
"By the way, Yuri, how are your injuries?"

Xia Chuan reached out, like a close comrade-in-arms, and put his arm around Yuri's shoulder, pressing down hard, making Yuri wince in pain.

Yuri swayed back and forth to the sofa, eyeing the medicine on the table warily for a few moments, then smiled through his pain: "I'm almost fully recovered. I should be able to take off the bandages tomorrow, and after a couple of days of rest, I can go back to work."

"It's strange, really. I don't remember the stairs in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs being spiral staircases. You were so careless. If you had been more careful, you wouldn't have fallen from the tenth floor to the first floor."

Yuri smacked his lips, unsure of what to say.

He wouldn't normally have come up with such an outrageous excuse, but it just so happened that his sister was on vacation when he got home that day.

He wasn't prepared to face his sister; he simply came to see if she had come home these past few days, only to bump into her head-on.

Upon seeing his sister, Yuri's intelligence seemed to have been devoured by a dog; his mind went blank, and that's when he came up with this absurd excuse.

"Hmph, mind your own business. You've delivered the things, when are you leaving?" Yuri muttered under her breath, afraid of being discovered by her sister, and deliberately pulled Xia Chuan to the sofa as well.

So when Joel peeked out to check the situation, he saw a scene of brotherly affection and respect.

"Also, what are all these random things? They smelled strongly of medicine as soon as they were brought in!"

Upon seeing these strange drugs, Yuri had a bad feeling: "Don't try to trick me into taking these things. I advise you not to embarrass yourself by bringing out these unscientific folk remedies."

Xia Chuan was silent for a few seconds. He hadn't thought of it. Besides taking the medicinal wine for external use, it seemed that taking it orally was also an option.

"Why are you acting like a child? You should take medicine when you're sick!"

Just then, Joel came out of the kitchen. Hearing this, he walked to the table, picked up an amber-colored glass bottle, and asked curiously, "This color looks strange. Is this the medicine you said is effective for injuries? It looks like safflower oil or something."

"This is a special medicinal wine, and this is just one of the items. I also brought other things. I'll give Yuri a good sip later, and he'll be full of energy tomorrow!"

"I was supposed to be better tomorrow!"

"Oh, sorry, I misspoke. I meant I'll be full of energy tonight!"

Yuri: "."
