Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 400 What Anya has, Ai Haibara must have too.

During the drinking session, Xia Chuan also inquired about the specific promotion criteria at the distillery.

First, there are several people within the organization specifically in charge of talent recruitment.

They are a small group, but they travel around the world to discover exceptional talents among the people.

Then they used every means to recruit them as peripheral members.

Another group of peripheral members are brainwashed; these members have no need for promotion and will remain peripheral members until death.

There are also some special cases, like when Akemi Miyano recruited Shuichi Akai.

They are introduced by acquaintances, and then their life trajectory is investigated and their abilities are assessed.

The recruited external members are assigned different directions based on their different abilities, and their qualification is confirmed through task performance.

Those who are qualified and outstanding will receive special attention and then begin to be assigned tasks individually.

Over the next few years, the difficulty of the tasks will gradually increase, and eventually, the performance of these people will be recorded and come into the sight of Gin, the head of a branch.

Xia Chuan pondered, no wonder there were so many undercover agents within the organization with this kind of assessment method.

The distillery did not choose to train members from a young age, which made it difficult to guarantee the loyalty of peripheral members.

Moreover, if the Red Team really wanted to hide their life trajectory, it would be very difficult for the brewery to detect it.

In addition, these undercover agents are all workaholics, so it is reasonable that there are many undercover agents among the code name members.

Xia Chuan was very interested in the upcoming assessment. He wanted to see if he could find the Red Team mole on the list.

But before that, he needs to deal with the Twin Towers skyscraper issue.

Back home, Xia Chuan immediately notified Frank to deal with the phone problem at Miyano Akemi's residence, and then Anya came skipping and jumping in front of him.

"Father, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?"

"Ok?"

Xia Chuan rubbed Anya's face, pulled her into his arms, kissed her, and said, "Then let's hear the bad news first."

"Although we have a holiday for several days, I probably won't be able to play with my father for the first two days."

Xia Chuan thought to himself, "This isn't bad news at all; it's great news! Raising children is joyful, but taking care of them is anything but joyful. Not having to take care of them is incredibly wonderful."

"So what's the good news?"

"The good news is that Professor Agasa is taking our Junior Detective Club camping in the suburbs of Nishitama City tomorrow, and we probably won't be back until the day after tomorrow."

As for what the father just thought.

All I can say is, once he gets out of here, his father will realize how boring it is without Anya.

She could only play with Aunt Joel, or sunbathe on the rooftop. Life without Anya was destined to be boring.

Has it already begun? The countdown to heaven has begun.

Xia Chuan gently flicked Anya's nose: "That's definitely not good news. Father will be bored for several days."

"Yeah, Ai Haibara is coming with us too. I heard that Professor Agasa has prepared a lot of activities this time, like barbecue, guesthouse, catching rhinoceros beetles, etc. It's going to be a lot of fun."

"If that's the case..."

Xia Chuan pondered for a moment, then went into the room and rummaged through drawers and cabinets.

Now that we know what will happen, we should take some safety precautions for our daughter.

While driving out of the Twin Towers might look cool, it's also very dangerous. Even though he's now a member of the Junior Detective Club, Natsukawa still has some reservations.

This is also why he rushed over when Conan was shot in the cave last time.

The plot is not static. When he appears and gets involved, it's like a butterfly flapping its wings; nobody knows when the typhoon will come.

"Take this with you tomorrow."

"Isn't this the pistol that Kaito Kid uses?" Anya scratched her head and looked it over. This pistol was exactly the same as the Kaito Kid merchandise she had seen on TV.

"This gun can shoot out ropes. It's not the phantom thief Kid's playing card gun. It's a rope gun that my father specially prepared for Anya."

"It was clearly taken from Kaito's brother and then modified."

Anya thought to herself, her eyes revealing pure naivety, as if she had already believed Xia Chuan's words.

After Xia Chuan finished explaining, he noticed Anya staring blankly at him with wide eyes. He sighed and said, "If all else fails, we'll just give it to Conan. Just tell him it can make a rope, and he'll understand."

“Okay.” Anya smiled.

"and this."

Xia Chuan then pulled out a small schoolbag.

This backpack was a product of his sudden inspiration to DIY after Anya asked him for props some time ago. It is a small parachute, about half the size of a normal parachute.

But it's enough. Anya only weighs about 40 pounds, so that's not a problem.

"Remember to carry this backpack with you at all times. If you fall from a height, just press the button on either shoulder strap, either side will do. The small pockets on both sides can hold a flashlight and a thermos."

"Oh, thank you, Father."

Anya happily slung the bag over her shoulder, ran to the mirror, spun around twice, and then nodded in satisfaction.

The light green backpack is decorated with bright white star patterns and would look great with a white shirt and pink shorts.

After thinking about it, Xia Chuan felt it wasn't safe enough and decided to look for something more suitable for children.

“Father, I think that’s enough.”

Anya tugged at Xia Chuan's sleeve.

He put on a show of pocketing a poker gun right in front of him.

The pocket was too small and the pistol was too big to fit in. In the end, I could only put it in the side pocket of the parachute pack. The grip even bulged outwards, making it wobble as I walked.

"Ok."

Xia Chuan shrugged and stuck a tracking tag on his backpack: "If Anya gets into danger, remember to call your father."

"Roger that!"

Anya snapped to attention at the sound of the message, her expression serious, her round, pale green eyes gleaming, like a soldier receiving a general's order.

Xia Chuan thought about it and realized that they couldn't be biased in this matter. Since Anya had it, Ai Haibara should have it too.

I glanced at Ai Haibara, who was reading a newspaper on the sofa. The little girl had already turned around several times.

Perhaps because she was shy, she didn't say anything, but there were envious glances in her eyes.

"Ai got a share too, but yours is still at Frank's house. I'll go get it later. I have something to talk to Frank about, so I guess you'll all be asleep when I get back."

I'll leave it in the living room. If you're not up by the time you leave, just grab it yourself.

"Is there one for me too?"

Ai Haibara blushed slightly as she asked.

She was indeed a little envious, but given her age, even as a child, she still maintained her composure.

"Of course, I see you seem to like brown backpacks, so your parachute is brown."

"Thank you."

“Because we’re family.” Natsukawa walked to Ai Haibara’s side, stroked her soft brown hair, and looked at her with fatherly love.

"If you have anything on your mind, you can talk to me or to Joel. Don't keep it to yourself. There's nothing that a family can't solve."
