Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 428 Conan: What secrets does the USB drive hold?
While Natsukawa's side was unilaterally reaping kills until Conan appeared, Gin and Vodka's side fared much worse.

The wooden structure of the guesthouse is uneven, and the wood chips that can be seen everywhere give it a heavy value.

At the feet of Snake and Oki Iwatsu, there were piles of spent cartridges.

"Gin, come out here!"

Snake shouted wildly, beckoning a black-robed subordinate to him and saying, "Quickly contact the helicopter and get me some grenades while you're at it."

Wooden guesthouses are inherently fragile, and the bullets have further damaged them, leaving them riddled with irregular bullet holes.

Gin and vodka were inside the room.

Snake didn't intend to go in, and he also stopped Oki Iwamatsu, who couldn't resist rushing in to fight.

Getting close to professional killers who are even more professional than them is too dangerous.

The guesthouse is now surrounded by their men, and neither of the two from the distillery can get out. If they can get a few grenades, they can definitely send Gin to heaven.

"There's been no movement for a while now. Maybe they're already dead?"

Oki Iwatsu felt that Snake was overthinking things. He fired hundreds of bullets indiscriminately, not believing that Gin and Vodka could still be alive. He had to avenge the adult film, and he was determined to grind them to dust.

Oki Iwatsu, codenamed Squirrel, was appointed as a councilor of Nishitama City a few years ago. Through the efforts of the zoo boss and certain investors, he successfully secured the top seat in the council.

Moreover, in Nishitama City, even the mayor has to treat him with utmost respect.

There's no other reason than that 80% of the members of parliament support him.

Some had been given leverage by him, while others had illicit connections with him. In short, the mayor of Nishitama City had no real power beyond the title.

Having grown accustomed to lording it over the years, Daiki Iwatsu had even forgotten the caution he once had as an assassin, and had become somewhat arrogant.

Although I wasn't even as good as Snake when I was an assassin back then, things are different now!
He's a big shot, a local tyrant, what's Gin compared to him?

Snake didn't know Oki Iwamatsu's thoughts, but he had a general idea. "Then wait until my grenade arrives. It's pointless for you to go in and die now. Maybe later I can pinpoint Gin's exact location."

Omu Yansong:? ? ?
"Alright, enough of this nonsense. There's another member of theirs outside, codenamed 'Member'."

The lanternfish rolled its eyes and pulled back the eager-to-try giant rock pine.

In the corner, Conan stared wide-eyed at the scene.

Peter Ford and Oki Iwamatsu, these two are actually in cahoots?

Asahi Katsuyoshi was killed by Sawaki Kohei, but he later obtained some information from the police. There were signs of a break-in at Asahi Katsuyoshi's house that day, and an inspection revealed that a USB drive seemed to be missing.

Based on his deductions, he concluded that the robber was Peter Ford.

Because there was no evidence, Peter Ford could not be found, and Asahi Katsuyoshi was dead and could not testify, the Metropolitan Police Department simply set the case aside and hastily closed it.

This matter had been weighing on Conan's mind all along, and considering Iwamatsu Oki's actions, it was no longer a question of where Katsuyoshi Asahi's USB drive had gone.

"Every time they make a move, it's for USB drives. And with such a grand display, what secrets are hidden inside these USB drives?"

Based on his attire, he initially suspected that the group that stole the Brilliant Flower was the same group of people.

Now it seems that I guessed wrong.

"interesting……"

Conan's thirst for knowledge was immediately piqued.

He had overheard part of the conversation earlier. The codenames of these men in black robes were just as strange as Gin's: Lanternfish, Squirrel, Snake.

Snake means snake, so it's a black-robed organization with an animal as its code name.

Conan carefully hung three watches on each of his hands.

He found that this saved him some trouble; at least his pants wouldn't fall down, though his hands would get sore.

There were three watches in his pocket and six on his wrist, making a total of nine.

Oh right, there's also a rope gun Anya gave him, but it doesn't seem to be very useful, does it?
Besides the three animals, there were also more than a dozen other people in black robes dressed in the same uniform on the scene. It wasn't enough!

As for the gun left behind by the man in black? Sorry, he's a detective.
"Should we wait for them to kill each other?"

Conan quickly shook his head, dismissing the idea.

He's Shinichi Kudo, the high school detective who idolizes Sherlock Holmes and firmly believes that the law is the only way to punish criminals. Whether they're killers or not, they have no right to kill each other.

But what can we do?

Forget it
Conan hid behind a bush and quietly left.

Although he cannot kill people, Holmes is not completely incapable of using a gun; at worst, he will shoot his own limbs.

Everything is for their survival; enough have already died.

Conan has already imagined himself taking down all the members of the Black Organization and the Black Robe Organization single-handedly. With such high intelligence, nothing is impossible!

Natsukawa observed Conan's perplexing behavior, but with a different thought process, he found it difficult to understand Conan's intentions. He simply assumed that Conan was probably seeking help from some obscure corner.

"Are you guys okay?"

Xia Chuan asked into the earpiece, "In this situation, it seems difficult for me to take action."

The high ground is now occupied by the zoo's forces, so firing a shot anywhere will be met with a barrage of attacks.

"It's alright. The guesthouse is quite spacious, so they won't dare to barge in easily. Besides, your location hasn't been confirmed yet."

Ok?
Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow. So, should he reveal himself and watch Gin and Vodka's show?
"Anyway, let's wait a little longer..."

In Vodka's reply, Xia Chuan heard a crisp "snap" sound.

"what sound?"

"Oh, big brother is clipping his nails."

Vodka glanced back at Gin, who was focused on clipping his fingernails, seemingly oblivious to the encirclement outside the door.

"."

Natsukawa could only say "six," guessing that this might be Gin's way of relieving stress.

Noticing Vodka staring at him, Gin blew on his fingers expressionlessly and then began filing his nails.

While arguing, he said, "Although the firefight wasn't very loud, the Metropolitan Police Department knows that the zoo's helicopter disappeared in this forest. The only place here to get information is this guesthouse, and they'll be here soon."

Gin's idea was simple—to stall the zoo, wait for the Metropolitan Police Department to clean up the mess, and then find an opportunity to kill Oki Iwamatsu in the chaos.

That's right, even in this situation, he still had no intention of letting Oki Iwatsu go.

After today, Oki Iwamatsu would definitely not dare to go back to be a Nishitama City Councilor. In this way, he would have avoided a disaster.
Absolutely not! We must avenge the business deal that was ruined before.

Moreover, this serves as yet another warning to zoos!
Although he was surrounded, Gin said he had seen this kind of situation many times and was not afraid at all. He could leave at any time if he wanted.

It's just a bit of a mess.

There's a famous saying that goes something like this—"Since we're already here!"
Gin's statement makes some sense. With Conan's notification, the Metropolitan Police Department's helicopter is expected to arrive in no more than ten minutes. However, Snake's grenade will probably arrive first.

But Natsukawa's heart was also stirred by Gin's words.

Kaito has been a great help to him lately, so it would be good if he could help the other party deal with some of the people at the zoo.

Now that he was known as Tequila, he couldn't voice his thoughts, even if he had them. Instead, he reminded her again, "I just heard Snake say that he sent his men to find grenades, and their helicopters are probably on their way too."

I'll provide backup outside; breaking through the encirclement shouldn't be too difficult now.

"There's no way there are any grenades here. Even if there were, they'd probably be delivered by helicopter." Gin scoffed dismissively. "By the time their helicopters arrive, the Metropolitan Police Department will probably be there too."

In fact, as soon as Gin came in, he called Kiel and asked him to call the police.

At that time, Vodka was still fighting back and didn't notice.

This is the real reason why Gin is not flustered at all, and even has the mood to cut his fingernails.

But in front of his two underlings, he had to pretend that it was all his reasoning and speculation.

When the truth comes out, vodka and tequila will surely look upon you with admiration.

Gin was very satisfied with his method of deceiving his subordinates; this was exactly how a leader should be.
