Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 377 Jingle Bells

The silver needles are placed at acupoints, so there can be no carelessness. Therefore, Xia Chuan was completely focused.

Seeing this, Yuri mistakenly thought that Xia Chuan was afraid, which made him even more excited, and he began to make plans in his mind.

Next, he might have to deal with Louis. As a man whose sister came first and the country second, Yuri sorted out his thoughts and decided that he had to deal with Louis first.

Louis is more dangerous, and the growing power of the Black Organization poses a greater threat to his sister.

Compared to the other party, Xia Chuan was no match at all. Only when the country is safe can the sister be safe. Yuri deeply agreed with this, so Xia Chuan should take a backseat for now.

However, Xia Chuan's revenge should be taken sooner rather than later, and he decided to put it on the agenda immediately after the Louis incident.

While Yuri was making arrangements in his mind, Xia Chuan had already taken action to pull out all the silver needles.

Tiny beads of blood oozed from each acupuncture point. The blood was dark red and had a strong, pungent metallic smell.

Normally, freshly drawn blood doesn't have this smell, but this is clotted blood, so it not only has a strong smell, but it's also very fishy.

Joel nodded in satisfaction, thinking to herself that she had no idea her boyfriend had such tricks up his sleeve, and that she would ask Xia Chuan to give her a taste of his own medicine another day.

Although I don't understand the techniques, the effect of removing blood stasis is indeed very obvious.

As a top-tier assassin in the underworld, injuries are inevitable. Although his body appears white and smooth, it is not actually that easy. There are still some hidden injuries that ache, and he may occasionally feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

In short, there are definitely some problems, but cupping is definitely the right thing to do.

Xia Chuan had no idea what Joel was thinking. Otherwise, given his girlfriend's weapon, he could only say that chest tightness and shortness of breath were normal occurrences, and that he would get used to them.

Half an hour later, Yuri regained his composure, jumped off the table in a flash, and kept moving his body to make sure he wasn't crippled or broken, before letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Hmm, it does feel much better. My neck doesn't hurt anymore, and my back isn't as stiff," Yuri murmured, his gaze towards Natsukawa becoming much kinder.

The treatment was quite effective, and it was indeed miraculous. Now he felt that even Louis was no match for him.

This brother-in-law suddenly seems much more agreeable. I'll let Xia Chuan have a bite of the love-filled ramen then.

"Right? I learned this process from the mysterious East."

Xia Chuan patted Yuri's shoulder forcefully and handed him the remaining medicinal wine: "Now is the last step. Take the rest of the medicinal wine orally to accelerate blood circulation. This treatment will be completely finished once the alcohol has dissipated!"

Yuri took the medicinal wine, smelled it, and immediately frowned.

Amber-colored liquid easily evokes thoughts of something ominous.

Xia Chuan's previous treatment must have been driven by personal hatred. If it weren't for him, others might not have been able to withstand it and would probably have been beaten to death halfway through.

So, can we believe what they're saying now?

However, it really works; now he feels great even when he's breathing.

It's not wrong to include personal agendas, and it's also not wrong if it's effective.

"Fine, I'll trust you one more time!"

Yuri simply gave up, since things were already like this, one more bottle of medicinal wine wouldn't make a difference.

"Glug~ Glug~"

The medicinal wine wasn't in a regular bottle, but in a large glass bottle, a full 1.5L. Half of it was used for applying and pounding, and the remaining half was also quite a large amount.

With an alcohol content of over 30 degrees, the drug produced a "good" effect five minutes after Yuri drank it in one gulp.

It seemed their family had a hereditary poor ability to metabolize alcohol; Yuri's face instantly turned red, and his thoughts began to stagnate.

"I'm going back to my room to take a nap."

His dazed eyes were like those of someone with severe myopia and astigmatism, his vision was drastically weakened, and he tripped over the chair next to him after taking just one step.

"Bang!" Yuri fell straight to the ground, lying there silently, and fell fast asleep.

"Honestly, the ground is so cold."

As the brother-in-law, Xia Chuan did not stand idly by and, together with Joel, dragged Yuri into the room.

Xia Chuan forcefully threw Yuri onto the bed and stretched lazily. Yuri had felt "good" after the treatment, but Xia Chuan was a little tired.

"Dingling bell~"

The phone suddenly rang.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan and Yoel looked at each other, their gazes finally settling on Yuri's pocket.

Xia Chuan thought for a moment, then took out his phone from Yuri's pocket and looked at it. "It seems to be a call from one of his subordinates. Should I answer it?"

Since the person in question was fast asleep, Xia Chuan directly asked Yoel.

Joel frowned slightly. Her brother was already in such a state, yet the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still dared to call. She hadn't even held the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accountable for her previous injuries.

"Give me the phone, I'll talk to them and reason with them. I've been on the phone for two days straight, and they haven't stopped calling. Can't they let me get a proper rest?"

"."

Xia Chuan felt that if he gave the phone to Yoel, Yuri's identity would be at risk of being exposed.

Whether Yuri's men are reliable or not is unknown, but at least the No. 1 and No. 2 I met last time were quite unreliable.

What should we do? If Joel answers the phone and hears something he shouldn't, will he discover that his brother isn't actually a diplomat, but a Japanese police officer?

Xia Chuan imagined it for a moment and felt that a severe beating was definitely in order.

Out of concern for his brother-in-law, Xia Chuan decided to answer the phone for him, not to try and extract any information.
Okay, he still wanted to extract some information, but it was mainly for Yuri's benefit.

Really!

"How about I answer the phone? Calm down, I'll see what the other end says first."

"Fine!"

Joel nodded slightly. She did indeed dislike the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now, so she certainly wouldn't say anything nice on the phone.

Judging from the fact that Yuri tumbled down the tenth floor to the first floor, his interpersonal relationships within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must not be very good. If I were to exaggerate further, Yuri might not even be able to maintain his dignity.

Out of concern and love for his younger brother, Joel nodded in agreement.

Xia Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he was such a good brother-in-law. Yuri had already challenged him to a "love ramen" contest, but he still didn't hold a grudge and covered up Yuri's identity.

I hope someone cherishes such a good brother-in-law.

When the call connected, Xia Chuan did not turn on speakerphone, but held the phone to his ear.

"Boss! Something bad has happened. The CIA just sent an official letter, preparing to come to Japan in a formal capacity. Their purpose is very clear. I think you need to come back."

Xia Chuan could tell that it was Number 1's voice.

The CIA sent an official letter, which immediately startled Xia Chuan. He didn't understand why the CIA would suddenly come to Japan, especially to liaise with the Public Security Bureau in a formal capacity. This sounded suspicious.

Such formal official letters are usually indicative of joint operations to combat a criminal or similar crime.

What is the joint operation targeting?
Xia Chuan immediately thought of Louis.

Despite being an important member of the European branch, Louis was a figure to US intelligence and special agents who had to be involved in their own country's affairs as well as those of other countries, thus embodying the concept of a "global village."
