Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 408 The Ghostly Visitor
Aside from disliking crowds and parties, Kyogoku Makoto is coming to see her in a few days, so she really doesn't have much time.

Just as she was about to refuse, Sonoko changed her mind because of her best friend's expectant look.

Actually, Ran's idea wasn't complicated; she mainly wanted Sonoko to help her keep an eye on her father.

I heard that Tokiwa Mio is still unmarried, and she suddenly invited her father over and was so enthusiastic. She is worried that he wants to be her stepmother.

She knew she couldn't do it all by herself, but with Sonoko, an outsider and the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, around, Tokiwa Mio probably wouldn't say anything rude.

As for the future, well, she will never allow her father to participate in any activities related to Tokiwa Mio again.

With both her parents being unreliable, she's really exhausted as their daughter.
"Okay, I'm fine with it."

Sonoko Suzuki shrugged. Makeup and styling weren't a big problem. As for Makoto Kyogoku, if all else failed, she could just have him accompany her to the party.

A boyfriend is no match for a best friend.

Well, at least that's how it is for now.

Tokiwa Mio smiled and nodded, while Suzuki Sonoko was pleasantly surprised.

The currently famous detective Kogoro Mouri will be attending, along with the second daughter of the Suzuki family. She even feels that she can eliminate some people who she feels are not qualified, and then invite another group of celebrities.

Ideally, an official of a higher rank than Oki Iwatsu should be invited.

This is a bit difficult.

In Nishitama City, Oki Iwamatsu, though a councilor, holds a rather special position and wields more power than the mayor.

Perhaps only a member of parliament from Tokyo could outmaneuver him.

She had long disliked Oki Iwatsu, and in order to win him over, she spent an unknown amount of money, practically stripping naked in front of him.

Oki Iwatsu has also been openly and secretly taking advantage of her quite a few times. If she can find a new backer, she wouldn't mind kicking this middle-aged balding man away.

Just as Tokiwa Mio was feeling troubled, Oki Iwatsu leaned closer again.
The situation seemed a bit complicated. Conan was dazzled by what he saw. Although he felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Moreover, with no cases yet, it seems that his skills as a renowned detective are being wasted.

downstairs.

Frank yawned, looking sleepy, but still asked with a hint of gossip, "Did Anya recognize you? Why did she show you a picture of herself ten years later?"

Moreover, this photo seems a bit funny, doesn't it? Did you notice that ten years later, Anya's face shape actually looks a bit like Joel's?

Frank smacked his lips, feeling that his current round face looked better, though he wasn't sure if he was just used to Anya's cute appearance now.

"Probably not. Didn't you hear? She just wanted to shut Conan up."

Xia Chuan shrugged. "What kind of cute girl would have so many strange thoughts?"

"is it?"

Frank scratched his head and changed the subject, saying, "It's quite a coincidence. We were just looking for an excuse to repair their decorative lights when they broke. Did you sneak over last night and break them?"

Xia Chuan rolled his eyes inwardly. He hadn't even reached the 75th floor yesterday; it must have been Hara Yoshiaki's doing.

The smart chip in the art lamp had been tampered with; soldering marks were still visible. There was no other possibility but Yuan Jiaming. "That's right, mainly because I was worried you'd be too tired. So, do you still think I was slacking off yesterday?"

Xia Chuan patted Frank's shoulder forcefully: "I've done a lot of things behind your back. What I'm handing over to you is what I consider the simplest and safest thing."

"is it?"

Frank was deeply moved, but a few seconds later, a question suddenly occurred to him.

Yesterday, Xia Chuan clearly went to bed right after saying that, so when did he leave? Did he get a nervous breakdown from watching the security footage and not even notice someone leaving the house?

"Alright, don't overthink it. Go back and change your clothes; I have things to do."

He just saw Kazama Hidehiko. He'll go to the other's house later and secretly switch the other's second password disk.

Hidehiko Kazama is also from Tokyo. After taking on the design of the twin-tower skyscraper, he established his own studio in Nishitama City.

Although Nishitama City is not far from Tokyo, about a 40-minute train ride away, once you have money, that's how it is; time gradually feels insufficient.

A studio is essential.

Kazama Hidehiko left the Twin Towers at noon, but didn't return to his studio until late at night.

Although it's called a studio, it's practically a residence; the only office equipment is a computer.

Since the widespread use of computers, architectural drawing has also become digitized. Unlike before, when a large number of drawings were needed and revisions were required when problems arose, design software on computers can now easily handle the task.

As usual, Kazama Hidehiko turned on his computer to admire his twin-tower skyscraper design drawings. After downing a glass of red wine, there was a knock on the door.

"Is it finally here?"

Downstairs, Xia Chuan watched the other party's every move through the surveillance equipment in the RV, and frowned upon hearing this.

A strange guy suddenly entered this apartment building. Xia Chuan thought some kind of murder was about to happen. Kazama Hidehiko suddenly said this. Could it be that the sneaky weirdo was looking for him?
I'm not going to get killed soon, am I?!
Since it's a theatrical release, it's not impossible.

But Ruyue Fengshui is clearly still at home, so who is this guy?
Kazama Hidehiko cannot afford to get into trouble right now, especially since he searched Kazama Hidehiko's studio several times that afternoon but couldn't find the second cipher disk. What would happen to the cipher disk if the other party died at this time?
If he can't get the money this time, he might not be able to get involved in the promotion and selection of codename members in the brewery later.

That won't do.
"No one saw it, right?"

Kazama Hidehiko asked a question, then glanced outside warily a few times to make sure it was safe before pulling the person into the room.

“I said, there’s no need for this at all. Nobody knows about our dealings. I’m all covered up like this, who would recognize me?”

The newcomer was very confident, but also a little annoyed. He was a nominal councilor of Nishitama City, but secretly a local tyrant. He had never been treated like this before.

In order to see Hidehiko Kazama, he even sent his wife back to Tokyo under various pretexts. She had to climb out of the window to leave just now; she was in such a sorry state.

If it weren't for the 10 billion yen, hmph.

“You’re a city councilor, and many people in Nishitama know you. If you don’t do this, it will definitely attract attention. The Twin Towers skyscrapers are about to open, and the reporters are keeping a close eye on you.”

Kazama Hidehiko looked Oki Iwamatsu up and down. He was dressed in designer brands from head to toe, yet he was wrapped up so strangely. It would be easy for him to become suspicious.

I told Oki Iwamatsu to keep a low profile, just wear a hat and glasses, that's all. But looking at him like this, people who don't know him would think he's out having an affair. Who wouldn't take a second look?
