Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 398 The Target: 10 Billion!

The winery has been evacuated, and telephone signal has been restored.

Xia Chuan pulled out a hidden cell phone from the prosthetic body; this was for contacting his backup plan.

It's perfectly normal to carry a spare phone when you're out and about.

As soon as he turned on the computer, Xia Chuan saw several messages signed by Kuroba Kaito.

Natsukawa had Kaito impersonate him and secretly follow the police team. He didn't have to do anything except keep an eye on Yuri's safety.

After reading the message, Xia Chuan frowned: "Are you injured?"

However, as long as they are not dead, there is no problem. It is common for police officers to get injured, after all, they were fighting against Louis.

He had noticed it last time: Louis could pin Yuri to the ground and beat him up in hand-to-hand combat, and Yuri could stand up as if nothing had happened after being beaten up.

Both sides have their advantages, but this only applies to hand-to-hand combat. Once weapons are involved, the situation will become one-sided.

A dozen minutes later, Natsukawa successfully made contact with Kaito.

Kaito yawned; he had been waiting for quite some time.

After Yuri was injured, the five police officers immediately chose to retreat, and from that moment on, he watched the show from the sidelines.

I used to think the zoo was amazing, since Snake always went out with a bunch of heavily armed men.

It wasn't until today, after witnessing the fight between the winery, the CIA, the police, and the FBI, that he realized how shallow his knowledge was.

Two helicopters were shot down.
This could be considered a small battle, right?
Kaito even wondered what it would be like if he could get the Blacksmith and the Zoo to fight each other. This kind of infighting among the underworld forces would be very beneficial for him to avenge his father.

"Oh right, I think I just saw Conan and Kogoro Mouri."

"?"

Xia Chuan was stunned for a moment, "What are they doing here?"

To be honest, although news of this incident is flying around everywhere, it's only limited to a few members of the Red Team and the Black Organization. Conan and Kogoro Mouri shouldn't be showing up.

"Not only did they appear, but Conan also happened to see the Black Organization leaving."

Kaito glanced at the direction where the fire was being put out in the distance: "I asked Grandpa Terai to inquire, and it seems that Kogoro Mouri was handling a case in Tottori Prefecture. He just finished and came out when he saw the fire."

"It was he who reported the fire, and it was he who led the fire brigade over, which is how they were able to get to the scene so quickly."

It turned out to be the case.

Xia Chuan nodded slightly.

I don't know if Conan's luck is good or bad; he probably won't be able to sleep for the next few days.

Natsukawa didn't really care what Conan was doing, but this time the Black Organization had suffered internal strife and two people had died. He wondered what the boss would think.

And Gin.

Right now, it seems he doesn't have many people he can use.

"The situation with the FBI is a bit strange. They should still be able to fight, but suddenly they withdrew."

Kaito had almost forgotten about it, but the sound of a police helicopter rumbling across the sky reminded him.

What exactly is the situation?

Xia Chuan was also a little confused. Logically speaking, neither Gin nor Shuichi Akai should let the other go. Even if the fire department came, they would be too busy putting out the fire, and the police wouldn't be able to find them so quickly.

"I don't know. Not long after you and the handsome dark-skinned guy left, Shuichi Akai left as well."

Since no radio tapping was conducted, neither of them knew whether the FBI agents had discussed anything with each other.

Without paying much attention, he hurriedly disappeared from Puppet Ridge.

……

the next day.

Xia Chuan received a notification from Gin and arrived at the distillery base.

This trap proved highly successful; in the clash between red and black, the brewery achieved a major victory. The entire CIA was wiped out, and at least half of the FBI personnel perished. In addition, they shot down a Cobra aircraft.

A police support helicopter also exploded, and the team leader in charge of dealing with the winery was seriously injured.

As for the neon branch of the distillery, apart from Louis, only Chianti died.

The boss might feel sorry for Louis.

For Gin, this was a complete and utter victory!

However, many of the peripheral members also died, and military supplies were greatly depleted. Gin once again began to worry about money.

The already silver hair added a touch of decadence.

Upon seeing Gin, Natsukawa roughly understood why he had been summoned.

It's probably related to money.

As expected, Gin immediately pulled out a document and handed it over.

The leather document bag was opened, revealing several personal profiles and a document about the Tokiwa Group.

Tokiwa Group is one of Japan's leading real estate giants, and it is also a family business.

"Are they planning to take action against the Tokiwa Group this time?"

After quickly flipping through the photos, Xia Chuan found some transfer information and several candid photos of money-for-power transactions. In one photo, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline was seen naked and having a great time with two beautiful women.

“Yuan Jiaming?” Xia Chuan noticed the name in one of the messages. The name seemed familiar, and he had seen the person before.

It must have been a few months ago, not long after he started wearing the tequila vest, when Vodka took him to the software R&D base where he had seen this face before.

"Yuan Jiaming is an undercover agent planted in Tokiwa Group by the organization, and he provided this information. In addition, we will also use him to develop software researchers with potential or ability."

Gin gave a brief explanation and then glanced back at Vodka.

Vodka nodded and took over the conversation.

Hara Yoshiaki was the one who handled most of the communication, so it was most appropriate for him to provide the explanations.

"The Tokiwa Group's twin-tower skyscraper in Nishitama City was recently completed, and half of the floors were reserved before completion. They now have a large amount of funds on hand."

Vodka slyly held up three fingers: "Leaving aside bank repayments, Tokiwa Group now has at least 30 billion yen in cash on hand!"

"."

Xia Chuan clicked his tongue in surprise, "So, this time you're planning to extort 30 billion?"

Can it work?
Xia Chuan shook his head inwardly.

It's true that Changpan Group engaged in large-scale money-for-power transactions, but that alone wouldn't have been enough to acquire all 30 billion.

Even if Tokiwa Group is a family business, it is impossible for it to pay a staggering 30 billion yen in hush money just for Tokiwa Mio alone.

The Tokiwa Group has paid too much for the twin towers and will most likely abandon Tokiwa Mio as a pawn.

Instead of doing all this, you might as well go and look into Karasuma Renya's former assets.

For example, the Twilight Villa.

"Hehe, it seems you've figured it out too. Tokiwa Mio isn't worth 30 billion."

Vodka proudly raised his head: "Our goal is not the whole thing, but one-third of it!"

"In order to ensure the stable operation of the Twin Towers, Tokiwa Group transferred 20 billion yen to the group and left 10 billion yen in the Twin Towers. This money is jointly managed by the manager Tokiwa Mio, the system manager Hara Yoshiaki, the architect Kazama Hidehiko, and the financial director Tokiwa Okiyoshi."

"We've already done the investigation. The account is with Tokiwa Okiyoshi. To open the account, we need the passwords from the other three people."

Gin stepped forward and pulled out Tokiwa Okiyoshi's photo: "I've already had someone investigate Tokiwa Okiyoshi. His private life is extremely decadent. If he weren't Tokiwa Mio's older brother, he would never have become the CFO."
