Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 446 Xia Chuan's Countermeasures

At Natsukawa's house, Anya looked at the USB drive that Ai Haibara had casually placed on the table, and her heart was filled with anticipation.

"Don't touch my stuff!"

Ai Haibara suddenly poked her head out of the room and called out.

"Ow—"

Anya nodded reluctantly, then watched as Ai Haibara got ready to leave.

After Ai Haibara left, Anya stood in front of the USB drive again, like a puppy that dared not touch the food without being commanded.

Ai Haibara has already left, otherwise you could see in Anya's eyes a scene of a little angel and a little devil fighting each other.

After washing the dishes, Natsukawa planned to go back to his room to browse the dark web. Conan being beaten by Kogoro Mouri was within his expectations, but he didn't expect that the other party couldn't even leave the room.

But it doesn't matter, we can talk about it another day.

Having already prepared his plan, he wasn't worried about Conan asking questions. Even if Conan saw through him, as long as he denied it, what could Conan do to him?
We can't exactly call the police, can we?

As Xia Chuan passed by the living room, he saw Anya standing still and curiously went over to her.

"Ania, what are you doing here?"

"Hmm? This thing."

Xia Chuan's gaze swept over Anya, spotted the USB drive, picked it up casually, and asked with a strange expression, "Where did this come from?"

If I remember correctly, what I left for Oki Iwamatsu yesterday was a USB drive of the same model.

Take a closer look.
Good heavens, it's the one I gave to Oki Iwatsu!

"This was brought back by Conan. He asked Ai Haibara to take it to Professor Agasa, saying there's something good inside."

However, Haibara disagreed and planned to leave it there for Conan to open tomorrow.

If I remember correctly, that thing was on the USB drive.

Xia Chuan glanced at the USB drive with a strange expression for a few moments, then said, "Since Conan is in such a hurry, why don't you deliver it to Professor Agasa now?"

After saying that, Xia Chuan lifted his leg to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said, "This might be a game that Conan got his hands on. Why don't you invite Ayumi and the others to watch it together? If it's a game, you can play it together."

Oh, and remember to have Professor Agasa call for you, don't open it yourself.

It's true that Natsukawa wanted to trick Conan, but he didn't want the kids to go astray, so he asked Professor Agasa to keep an eye on things and turn off the adult films immediately to avoid irreversible consequences.

Anya's mouth dropped open. When it comes to tricking Conan, his father is the grandmaster.

Anya already knew the contents of the USB drive from her father's heartfelt words.

I had originally planned to give up on the idea of ​​peeking at the USB drive, but if I followed my father's idea, I might be able to kill Conan on the spot!
Hehehe, this is so exciting! Wow, so cool!

Anya grabbed the USB drive, made a few phone calls, and dashed out the door.

Xia Chuan appeared to be smiling, but in reality, a demonic phantom had already appeared behind him.

It's not his fault; Conan brought this on himself. If it weren't for Conan, Joel wouldn't have been targeted by Gin.

When Gin returned to base last night, he approached Vermouth and asked her to infiltrate the Metropolitan Police Department to find out about Yoel.

Because of her cosplay as the school doctor, Vermouth made up a random excuse to refuse.

But this doesn't mean that Yoel is safe and sound. Even without Vermouth, there's Baileys in the organization who can disguise herself, and at the very least, there's Amuro Tooru, the backup of the backup.

Baileys accepted the task, but because she was still working as a secretary at the Yakumoto family and her schedule was not very flexible, she would not be carrying it out in the short term.

This gave Xia Chuan some breathing room, allowing him to secretly modify Yoel's file.

As can be seen from the original storyline, the distillery would likely start their research in the archives. If he could alter Joel's file beforehand, he could mislead Baileys.

Although it's not a long-term solution, it's at least the most appropriate way to handle things right now.

Next, there are two things at the winery that he needs to pay attention to.

One is Baileys' investigation into Joel.

Another thing is that the promotion of peripheral members is about to be put on the agenda.

Vodka will be finalizing the list of personnel in the next few days, and Gin seems to have gotten up very early this morning, perhaps because of this matter.

Natsukawa will be very busy these next few days. He may not have time to watch Conan's jokes, but at least he lent a hand. I believe that after this lesson, Conan will be a little more restrained.

That afternoon, Natsukawa met with the world-famous phantom thief 1412.

Sharing the good news is one thing, but another is asking for the other party's help, at least to finalize things first.

"I saw the news yesterday. As expected of Brother Xia Chuan, he actually managed to leave the Twin Towers skyscraper in this way!"

The moment they met, Kaito started flattering him.

Flattery will never fail you. Xia Chuan remained humble, but the smile on his face spoke volumes!
Xia Chuan casually picked up a newspaper from the table and checked it. The Twin Towers skyscraper incident was a major national event, taking up an entire page.

The first thing that catches the eye is the scene of Sonoko Suzuki being tackled by Makoto Kyogoku.

It occupied the largest space on the page, with bold text highlighting the media's attention to the Suzuki family. Incidentally, personal information about Makoto Kyogoku, Sonoko Suzuki's boyfriend, was also revealed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the Suzuki family, the picture of their assassination is even bigger than the picture of the Twin Towers being destroyed."

All Natsukawa can say is that the Japanese media understands social hot topics, and the hot topics are those who have money. Obviously, Tokiwa Group is not comparable to Suzuki Group.

This reassured Xia Chuan a lot, because due to printing technology and image size issues, the image of him escaping Tower A with Bond would still be blurry even when enlarged, making it impossible to see their identities.

"By the way, yesterday's case was actually related to the zoo to some extent."

"The zoo?"

Kaito nodded knowingly. He wasn't surprised at all. Although most of the media hadn't been inside the scene, he had observed a helicopter on the top floor in the broadcast videos from outside.

"When I saw the helicopter, it felt familiar, and I had a vague guess about it."

Kaito thought for a moment and then frowned: "Strange, the zoo has always been interested in jewels, so what's their reason for targeting the Twin Towers this time? It can't just be that they want to go against the Distillery, can it?"

He checked the information last night and found that there was no auction, no charitable donation, and no gemstones at this gala.

Even the largest organizations sometimes run out of money.

Natsukawa shrugged, guessing that the reason might be related to Kazama Hidehiko.

If Hidehiko Kazama hadn't approached Iwamatsu Oki, the zoo probably wouldn't have gotten involved.

In fact, from the very beginning, the zoo may have been hoping to make money off the ground.

The reason things escalated to the point where a fight broke out at the guesthouse was because Gin blew up the Twin Towers skyscraper in an attempt to kill Iwamatsu Ōki.

"They're actually interested in money?"

In Kaito's eyes, the zoo has never been short of money. Every time Snake appears, he brings his whole family, helicopters are a common sight, and often everyone is even armed with an automatic rifle.

Aside from their interest in Pandora, nothing else seemed to hold any value for them.
