Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 445 What you said makes a lot of sense, but I refuse!
At the entrance to the third floor of the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan and Anya crouched in a corner and talked quietly.

Ran glanced at him curiously, gave Conan a warning look, and then ignored him.

Conan shivered.

I really want to run away.

No!

If you run away now, you'll only face an even more terrifying beating when you come back.

"Conan, what do you want to tell me?"

Conan looked around to make sure Ran wasn't paying attention to them, then cautiously stared at the stairs below. Only after confirming no one was around did he take the USB drive out of his pocket.

"Give this to Ai Haibara and have her go to Professor Agasa's house and wait for my call."

Although he couldn't go out, he had a pocket phone that he could operate remotely.

"USB flash drive?"

Anya's smile was wide open as she pressed on, "Is it the one we talked about yesterday?"

Anya's eyes sparkled; she had been very curious about the contents of the USB drive since yesterday, never expecting it would end up in her hands.

It really takes no effort at all.

By observing micro-expressions, Conan vaguely noticed something amiss, and his brow furrowed!
He realized a problem.

If I give the USB drive to Anya, will she just disappear and take the USB drive to any computer, maybe even Xia Chuan's computer?

Not only could they be exposed, but their lives could also be at risk.

"Give it to me quickly!"

Hearing Conan's inner thoughts, Anya knew something was wrong and, with a composed expression, reached out to snatch it.

However, Conan reacted even faster, immediately putting the USB drive back into his pocket.

"Didn't you want my help?"

"No need for now. I think it's not a bad idea to check again tomorrow."

Conan felt it would be safer to call Ai Haibara and have her come and pick it up herself.

"Really?" Anya suddenly flashed her signature crescent-shaped smile: "You don't want Ran-neechan and Uncle Mori to know what happened last night, do you?"

Conan, unaware of the seriousness of the situation, waved his hand to politely decline.

Anya reacted quickly, pulling out a camera from behind her back and placing a video in front of Conan.

The scene shows Conan using a bed sheet as a cover to sneak downstairs.

After Anya returned, she kept a close eye on Conan's house. Before Joel put her to bed, she even pulled back a corner of the curtains and set up her camera in front of the window.

And that's how we got the current scene.

"What do you want?"

Conan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Anya was useless at everything, but she was exceptionally clever when it came to messing with him.

This was a prediction of his plan...

"Hand over the USB drive. Don't worry, I'll definitely give it to Haibara, but I'll look at it with her."

Using a hard approach all the time definitely won't work. Anya believed she knew Conan well, and with the added benefit of listening to his inner thoughts, she could basically understand the general idea.

My father once said that things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes, and some things should not be pushed too hard.

Conan has indeed fallen into Anya's trap. In this situation, the only way for him to find out the contents of the USB drive quickly is to agree to her request.

"Ok."

Conan forcefully threw the USB drive into Anya's hand to express his dissatisfaction: "I'm going to call Haibara later. If she doesn't know about the USB drive, don't blame me for taking her down with me!"

Although he doesn't have any damaging videos or photos of Anya, he can still slander her!
Anya's grades fluctuated, which is one point. You can tell Uncle Xia Chuan that Anya's grades suddenly improved because she was actually copying his work.

There was also homework; he had forgotten how many times he had done Anya's homework and copied the answers for her.

"Oh, and remember, don't use Uncle Natsukawa's computer. Make sure to take it to Professor Agasa's house!"

"Don't worry." Anya, afraid that Conan would change his mind, disappeared in a flash.

Looking at the sunlight at the end of the stairs, Conan smiled bitterly to himself. There were only twenty-odd steps, but he dared not take an extra step.

Fortunately, Anya was reliable enough. Conan had barely finished a dozen or so pages of his "bible" when Ai Haibara called.

"I didn't expect you to be so efficient. Tell me quickly what's on the USB drive."

Ai Haibara held the phone a little further away, knowing without asking that Conan was hiding in the bathroom making a call.

The echo is too strong.

"The USB drive hasn't been opened yet, but have you considered that there might be some kind of jump device inside the USB drive that could be located the moment it's opened?"

"Don't worry, Professor Agasa's computer firewall is very strong, there definitely won't be any problems."

Ai Haibara still believes that, but did Conan just ignore what she said yesterday?

"We need to hurry. Nobody knows if this USB drive is valid. Every minute we're late increases the chance of it having a problem."

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but I refuse!"

Ai Haibara's words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing Conan from beginning to end.

Ai Haibara thought about the USB flash drive issue while she was sleeping.

If it's an important USB drive, the zoo should have someone guarding it.

Based on her understanding of Gin, if the USB drive was his objective, he would have targeted the USB drive first, rather than directly fighting with the zoo staff.

If it were truly important, even if Gin attacked, some codenamed members of the zoo should have left with the USB drive, instead of all staying behind to confront Gin.

Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective; Conan couldn't understand it, but she, as an outsider, wouldn't act so impulsively.

USB flash drives might not be as important as Conan thinks.

She doesn't know Gin's personality from the zoo, but she's sure he doesn't care much about this USB drive.

Of course, she couldn't tell Conan about this; she had to pretend she didn't know and firmly choose not to help.

This is a condemnation of Conan and his irresponsibility towards his own life.

"Ai Haibara, do you know what you're saying?"

Conan found it hard to understand why Ai Haibara didn't value the USB drive he risked his life to get.

This is denying one's own hard work.

What if it contains drug research data?
"Such a grand affair, Aunt Joel even fought Gin for it, and you're not appreciating this opportunity? Don't you want to see your sister?"

Hearing this, Ai Haibara became even angrier. It turned out that Conan also knew how dangerous it was, but still chose to take the risk.

That unreasonable bastard...

"toot toot"

Conan only received a busy signal on the phone, while Ran knocked on the door to ask what was going on.

Conan grabbed his hair, feeling a surge of anger with nowhere to vent it.

In short, he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

If he hadn't intervened and investigated in that situation, he would have definitely regretted it later.

He chose to leave no regrets, even though he had gotten involved with Aunt Joel.

But Aunt Joel is a police officer! No matter how arrogant Gin is, he can't and doesn't need to deliberately bring in a police officer afterward.

"Conan, are you done in the bathroom? Hurry up and come out to do your homework. Don't think you can skip your homework just by sitting on the toilet!"

"Okay, Sister Xiaolan."

Conan replied dejectedly and pulled up his pants.

He really was taking a dump; he wasn't lying. He just took the opportunity to make a phone call while he was doing so.
