Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 436 Evacuate!

Darkness enveloped everything, the trees stood silently, and a tranquil atmosphere permeated the air, with only the occasional rustling of leaves, like the forest breathing softly.

The sounds of panting and crunching leaves added a touch of noise to the forest.

"Tequila, please take a look at me, is my head tilted to one side?"

I hit my head on the ground, and when I got up I ran all the way. The more I ran, the less energetic I felt, as if I had lost my sense of direction.

It has probably only been ten minutes, but he has already knocked over trees more than once. The bruises on his forehead and the marks on his clothes prove just how bumpy the journey has been for him.

Vodka was panting as he turned his head.

Xia Chuan and Gin exchanged a glance, then walked up to Vodka with a puzzled look: "Your neck is crooked quite badly, did you get a stiff neck?"

"I don't know, I think I twisted my head when I fell from the tree." Vodka was on the verge of tears, wanting to force it but worried about twisting his head off.

Xia Chuan examined him closely and found that Vodka's head was indeed tilted very seriously. If his hands were twisted a little more at this point, he would look like a zombie from Resident Evil.

"It's probably a sprain or a dislocation."

Xia Chuan patted Vodka on the shoulder with a smug look on his face. "Don't worry, he'll be fine after seeing a doctor."

"I do not want it."

Vodka felt extremely annoyed at the thought of the organization's doctor, the one who told his older brother that he had osteoporosis, which caused him to have to drink in secret for a long time.

Let's turn our attention back to Snake.

Having just escaped one danger, they were plunged into another; the Metropolitan Police Department and the brewery arrived at the battlefield seamlessly.

Snake suddenly felt wronged. He hadn't checked the almanac before going out today, so why was he in this situation?
Oki Iwatsu was killed, the base was exposed, and he himself was shot in the ear with a hole the size of a bean.

But that's alright, I reckon stuffing a gemstone into the hole will make it look better.

Originally, Joel and his group planned to abandon the pursuit and return.

After all, they had already traveled a long way, and even Conan was a little unsure if his judgment was wrong.

Then a shot was fired.

Following the sound of gunfire, they found Snake and his men, along with their bodies on the ground.

The men in black robes were almost all dead or wounded. Snake held his breath, covered his ears, and pulled the stunned lanternfish along as they ran for their lives.

The police, led by Joel, were in hot pursuit.

After chasing for about half a minute, a light suddenly appeared ahead, and the sounds of engines rose and fell more and more clearly.

The sound of hurried footsteps made Sato Miwako's expression turn serious.

"Wait!" Sato Miwako clenched her fist and took a few steps forward to check the situation.

There's a small canyon ahead, and the engine noise is coming from there.

Following the dim light, Miwako Sato also saw an air-raid shelter and the black-robed men who had just met Snake.

Instantly, Sato Miwako's face turned extremely ugly.

This is Nishitama City, but it is also within the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

The existence of such a strange air-raid shelter within the Metropolitan Police Department's territory suggests it might be a base for this organization, which is a dereliction of duty on their part.

Trucks are constantly entering and exiting the small canyon, seemingly evacuating supplies.

The men in black robes were fully armed, a stark contrast to the mostly plainclothes police officers.

"We can't chase them anymore!"

Sato Miwako, her face grave, pulled back Joel, who was about to rush down.

Joel turned around with a puzzled look on his face. Shouldn't they be chasing after them and sweeping away everyone in the zoo at a time like this?
Sato Miwako shook her head and looked behind her: "There are more than a dozen of us. Those trucks don't look like ordinary vehicles. They might be transporting contraband or firearms. It's too dangerous to get close."

And look!

Following the direction Sato Miwako was pointing, most of the men in black robes had their eyes fixed on their area, their rifles half-raised. Clearly, they had been discovered.

If you charge down in this situation, even if there are some forest bushes to slightly obscure your view, you will become an easy target.

There are quite a few people in black robes. If they all start firing at once, we're done for. Don't think they won't do that. She's seen plenty of evil organizations. These organizations don't care about bullet losses at all. They only care about whether the coverage is dense enough.

Inspector Megure is unable to provide support at the moment, so Miwako Sato is naturally not going to risk her colleague's life.

Especially Instructor Joel.

Miwako Sato does not believe that the deaths of the folk black-robed men are related to fainting and Yoel, but rather that they were caused by a battle between the black-clad men and the black-robed men.

It's already incredibly fortunate that Joel was able to mediate and escape unscathed; chasing after him now would undoubtedly be suicide.

"OK then."

Joel had no choice but to give up; it seemed there was no chance this time, and she didn't want to reveal too much to her colleagues.

Furthermore, Xia Chuan probably doesn't like women who are too violent.

If I go up and take them all down, Natsukawa will definitely hear about it from Inspector Megure, which might affect my image in Natsukawa's eyes.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

"Let go, let go quickly!"

Snake ran wildly with the lanternfish until it entered the black-robed man's warning range, then turned around and yelled, "What kind of time is this to keep yelling? Do you want to die? Remember this, you owe me a life now!"

If Oki Iwatsuki and Lanternfish hadn't both died, the boss would have given them a real dressing down. Considering that, Snake wouldn't have saved Lanternfish.

After all, carrying an extra person severely slowed down his progress, especially since his ear was pierced and was in excruciating pain.

I owe your mother a watermelon rind!

The lanternfish's round, chubby face was yellowish, its lips were pale, and its eyes were red with two tear tracks running down its cheeks.

Following the lanternfish's gaze, Snake looked down and saw the other's blood-soaked wrist.

Yes, only the wrist.

The hand had disappeared, leaving only some stringy bits of flesh, with blood still dripping from the ends, making it look particularly gruesome and terrifying.

He said the feel of the hand was strange just now.

Snake looked up at his palm and found it was sticky, covered in lanternfish blood.

"You bastard! If Oki Iwatsu hadn't died, I wouldn't have saved you. You don't appreciate my kindness!"

Snake's face darkened as he swung his arm and got into the truck.

The car door slammed shut.

Lanternfish, helped by the man in black robes, got into another truck and began bandaging.

"Boss, the base isn't completely moved yet."

As the vehicle drove away, the man in the black robe began to report on the situation.

Less than half an hour has passed since Snake notified them of the evacuation, and only a little over half of the items inside the base have been moved, which is already the highest efficiency.

Snake turned to look in the direction of the guesthouse. Flames illuminated half the sky, and people could be vaguely seen moving around in the dense forest.

The Metropolitan Police Department didn't manage to catch up easily, but the place had been completely discovered, making further moving impractical.
"Get the brothers out of here, detonate the base. Even if it's a waste, we can't leave the Metropolitan Police Department with any evidence!"

"I understand."

The man in black nodded vigorously. In fact, they had already made preparations in advance. The bomb had been planted. As Snake gave the order, he had already pressed the countdown button.

Ten minutes later, this air-raid shelter will completely disappear from this world.
