Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 443 The Creepy Tequila
Whether Conan Edogawa knew it or not, Ai Haibara didn't know, but Ai Haibara knew that if Aunt Joel hadn't shown up today, she would probably only see Conan's ashes tomorrow.

The key point is that she just chatted with Joel, and Gin seems to have developed an interest in him.

It wasn't the kind of interest between a man and a woman, but rather that he was attracted to Joel's fighting prowess.

This is very dangerous; we don't know what Gin will do next.

To be honest, even if Conan didn't want to jump out of the car, she had the idea of ​​throwing him out.

This wasn't the first time she'd warned him, but he remained incorrigible. She was now filled with regret, regretting why she had confessed to Conan in the first place.

Even though it was Xia Chuan who saved him, he stayed obediently at Xia Chuan's house and gradually learned the identities of Aunt Yor and Uncle Xia Chuan.

With two people protecting him, things might be much simpler than they are now. Why insist on cooperating with Conan...?

It's all my fault for being so sharp-tongued. I got carried away and tried to show off in front of Conan, and now I've put myself in a dangerous situation.

"I have important business to attend to at Professor Agasa's house, so please put in a good word for me."

Conan moved closer to Ai Haibara, ignoring Anya's eager ears, and continued, "I've obtained something important that I need to check immediately."

Since the Mori family doesn't have a computer, they have to go to Professor Agasa's house to check the USB drive.

Moreover, only Professor Agasa's firewall could reassure him enough to be used freely outside, as he worried that the USB drive might contain viruses or a VPN.

Nobody knows he has the USB drive right now, and it might not be there tomorrow, which is the real reason he's anxious.

"You should try to persuade your sister Xiaolan first."

Curiosity is certainly there, but Ai Haibara feels that Conan should straighten out his attitude. No matter what's on the USB drive, she won't help this time, otherwise the next time will come soon.

"Conan, why don't you come to my house? I have a computer."

Anya stuck her head out and said, "The computer is in my father's room. I saw it when I went to his room to get something last time."

While Xia Chuan was looking for the rope gun, Anya happened to see the computer.

Xia Chuan deliberately placed this thing in the bedroom.

Firstly, to prevent children from becoming distracted by toys and neglecting their studies. With a television, Anya already doesn't pay much attention to her studies, and having a computer would only make the problem worse.

Although there aren't many games available on the computer, like Spider Solitaire and Minesweeper, Professor Agasa is always developing game disks.

Secondly, it has practical uses in the workplace.

Occasionally, Natsukawa would browse dark web forums on it and receive some information, which he would keep in his room so that Ai Haibara wouldn't find out.

"forget it"

Conan imagined it for a moment.

Xia Chuan's computer might be connected to the National Tax Service's intranet. If a USB drive is plugged in, the contents could be directly transmitted to the National Tax Service, and that would be disastrous.

That said, did Natsukawa really not show up?

Although he didn't find any trace of Natsukawa along the way, Conan's sixth sense told him that Natsukawa was there!
If it was there, why didn't it appear until the very end?

If he was secretly observing me, did he know that I took the USB drive?
Why not stop it?
Conan was a little confused, not understanding how Natsukawa was thinking. From his perspective, he certainly wouldn't give up the USB drive so easily.

Conan didn't think about the issue in depth. He had already arranged to negotiate with Natsukawa, so he could ask him about it later.

More than that, he wanted to discuss the tequila with Ai Haibara.

The other person saved him twice, so there's a high chance they're a good person.

"Oh, by the way, I saw agave today."

It wasn't until Conan mentioned tequila that Ai Haibara turned to look at him.

Ai Haibara remained silent, watching Conan intently, waiting for him to continue.

She knew about Tequila, as Joel had already mentioned, but since Conan brought up Tequila, he must have some point to make.

"Tequila helped me twice. He not only knows your identity, but he also seems to know me quite well." Miyano Akemi's actions back then, and her use of the wristwatch-type tranquilizer gun tonight, both speak volumes.

Conan's expression was serious, and his head was full of question marks when he said this. He even suspected that his identity was revealed by Ai Haibara before she shrunk.

"Since Tequila knows where I am, it will definitely investigate the people around me."

Ai Haibara looked Conan up and down: "With your desire to perform when you encounter cases and the number of cases you participate in, even a high-yield sow can't compare. It's hard for people not to notice the problem."

"No."

Conan shook his head vigorously, pushed Anya back to her seat, and said seriously, "I always felt that he probably knew my identity a long time ago, before you came."

Ai Haibara fell silent, remaining speechless for a long time.

Tequila did know that Shinichi Kudo was not dead before she shrunk, and she may even have known that Shinichi Kudo had transformed into Conan Edogawa and was staying at Kogoro Mouri's house.

That said, she really couldn't figure out Tequila.

No, the original tequila had been switched long ago, a fact that was discovered during the last period of her life when she was still Sherry.

How can Tequila quickly assume a new identity without Gin noticing anything amiss, and even become Gin's right-hand man? What kind of power lies behind Tequila?

This force seemed to know a great deal about the organization, which is chilling in retrospect.

"Think about it carefully. Is your appearance at Professor Agasa's doorstep related to tequila?"

"impossible?"

Ai Haibara frowned, thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be."

Tequila did mention Shinichi Kudo to her, but seeking out Shinichi Kudo was her own choice.

"Ran-neechan, Conan is urging Ai Haibara to drink something called tequila."

Anya's eyes widened, and she said in a serious tone, "Conan, drinking alcohol is wrong. That's an adult drink, kids can't drink it."

Anya was completely confused and bored, so she found some faults of Conan and tattled on them.

No, this is no longer considered tattling.

Mistakes and errors accumulate, and now Ran and Kogoro Mouri's patience has reached its limit.

The detective's hands were itching; he wished he could immediately pull out the clothes rack.

"..."

Conan was feeling a bit tired. After knowing her for so long, he still couldn't figure out why Anya liked to tease him.

However, Anya's behavior reassured him. Even though he and Haibara were talking about the Black Organization, Anya seemed to understand something strange.

"I didn't mean to drink. I was just talking to Haibara about an English word I saw at the bar at the party today, which translates to tequila."

Since Anya was messing with him, Conan didn't hold back and asked with a smile, "By the way, didn't you say you'd found where the liquor was hidden at home when we were at school?"

Tell me, what does that baijiu taste like? Is it better than the beer Uncle Mori used to sneak a sip at my house?

"That damn Conan!"

Anya calmed down immediately, secretly glanced at Aunt Joel, and was relieved to find that her aunt was still thinking about the winery and the zoo.

Anya started the conflict, and then she and Conan exposed each other's dirty secrets all the way home. It was past 2 a.m. when they finally got home.

After settling Ai Haibara and Anya in, Yoel prepared to return to the Metropolitan Police Department.

As soon as I stepped out of the Natsukawa family's house, I saw a dark shadow hanging outside the second-floor window of the Mori family's house.

"Conan?" Joel walked to the entrance of Poirot Cafe, looked up and asked in confusion.

Conan, dangling in mid-air with his hands wrapped around a rope made of bed sheets, tried to shrink back, but as soon as his buttocks touched the glass, he felt a sharp pain.
