Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 448 I want to be a good person
That night.

Winery site.

The base was unusually lively tonight, not only because of Vodka and Gin, but also because of the other codenamed members.

After leaving the Kuroba family, Xia Chuan went straight to the base.

Although the selection of peripheral members promoted from Vodka's side has not been fully completed, it is almost certain.

Almost everyone was just there for the fun of seeing who would win the spot for promotion to the outer member position.

As soon as he entered, Xia Chuan saw Gin and Vermouth sitting opposite each other, frantically blowing smoke rings in each other's faces.

Vodka mentioned this, and this situation is a sign that the two were arguing.

Their arguments were rather unusual; they would each sit in a separate spot, not saying a word, and compare who smoked the most cigarettes.

Xia Chuan expressed his incomprehension of this bizarre behavior.

Fortunately, this is the world of Detective Conan; otherwise, this would have been a foolish move that hurt the enemy a hundred while also harming oneself a thousand.

"What happened to Big Brother and Vermouth?"

Xia Chuan gave a casual greeting, then immediately leaned close to Vodka's ear and asked, "What happened while I was gone?"

"It's not Vermouth yet."

Vodka shrugged helplessly: "Baileys was supposed to have time to steal information from the Metropolitan Police Department these past two days, but at noon, Vermouth came to my brother and said that she needed Baileys and that she could only lend her to him next week."

"This makes me so angry. This is supposed to be the Japanese branch, and Baileys is nominally the boss's subordinate, yet she still has to listen to Vermouth."

If Vodka hadn't known about his brother's ambiguous relationship with Vermouth, he would have even considered advising his brother to make things difficult for his sister-in-law.

"Ok?"

Xia Chuan frowned in thought.

Vermouth's sudden change of heart could mean either she's trying to sabotage Gin, or she's come up with a new idea after learning about Joel's situation.

and many more!

Xia Chuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did Vermouth ask you for a picture of Joel?"

Vodka nodded with a puzzled look, wondering what Xia Chuan meant by suddenly asking this.

"I see."

Xia Chuan muttered to himself, and he roughly guessed the reason.

Joel and Vermouth are not connected, and the latter obviously wouldn't help the former.

But ever since Vermouth started impersonating Araide Tomoaki, she has gained some understanding of the interpersonal relationships between Ran and Conan.

He must have realized the relationship between Joel and Xiaolan and was worried that it would affect Xiaolan.

To protect Ran and Conan from harm, Vermouth certainly couldn't allow anyone close to Ran to be suspected by the organization, so the only one who could get hurt was Gin.

Those seven days she left empty might have been for making some arrangements.

Xia Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, emanating a chill. Despite the air conditioning being set to a comfortable level, Vodka suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

For Xia Chuan now, his family and Frank are his weaknesses. If Vermouth is planning to do something outrageous to Joel, he will really not be polite.

Even if Vermouth and Baileys were combined, they wouldn't be a match for him, let alone a single blow from Joel.

But being spied on is always a bad thing. No one can guarantee that they will be vigilant 24 hours a day. For an assassin, even a moment of inattention can lead to utter defeat.

It may not be a matter of life and death, but for Twilight and Princess Thorn, the issue of their identities is of paramount importance.

While Natsukawa was chatting with Vodka, Amuro Tooru suddenly approached them, standing there without saying a word, as if he had come to listen to gossip.

Upon seeing Amuro Tooru, Vodka's eyes lit up. It didn't matter that Baileys couldn't disguise itself, there was always Bourbon!

In fact, Vodka himself could also disguise himself, but the only person in the Metropolitan Police Department whose physique suited him was Inspector Megure. The key point is that Inspector Megure is shorter than him, so it's easy to pretend to be tall, but difficult to pretend to be short.

Vodka knew he wasn't careful enough, and Tequila wasn't the right height either, so the only more suitable option was Bourbon.

As an intelligence agent, Bourbon possessed certain disguise skills. Although he couldn't change his voice as well, equipping himself with a voice changer wouldn't be a big problem.

Amuro Tooru felt uneasy under Vodka's gaze and was about to ask a question when Vodka dashed off to Gin's side.

"What's wrong with vodka? You look at me like a mouse sees cheese."

"How do I know?"

Xia Chuan shrugged, and the two of them walked to a corner in perfect unison.

Amuro Tooru wanted to talk to Natsukawa last time, but he failed because of the vodka incident. Then he went out on a mission, so it was delayed until today.

"Tequila, I'm really curious about what kind of face lies beneath that one."

Amuro Tooru spoke first, breaking the silence.

He was genuinely curious about the true identity behind the tequila mask—what kind of undercover agent was he that could rival him?

He even considered the possibility that Tequila was an undercover agent from the zoo infiltrating the distillery, but the previous incident at the seaside castle and the events of last night both proved the point. According to Big Mouth Vodka, Tequila had left no room for maneuver and was aiming to kill.

It would be one thing if they only targeted members outside the zoo, but the problem is that Tequila didn't hold back either against members with codenames like Snake.

According to Vodka, one of the codenamed members with a foreign face had his hand shattered by Tequila's pistol.

If it's a wolf with a hook, this sacrifice is far too great.

As a codename member of the brewery, he knew the importance of codename members to every organization.

Of course, this does not apply to Gin.

This guy killed quite a few codenamed members.
If he can't get a clear answer from them today, he plans to go to the United States to investigate Yusaku Kudo!

Yusaku Kudo is another breakthrough point. After all, Louis's death is very telling. Tequila could have handed him over to the Public Security Bureau, but she insisted on killing him. It must be related to what Louis said about Shinichi Kudo.

“I didn’t have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person.”

Suddenly, Xia Chuan had a sudden inspiration and blurted out a classic line.

However, this statement is indeed very apt. He really had no choice, all because the boss kept hiding and refused to show himself.

Infiltrating the winery not only allows you to get news about the boss immediately, but also helps protect yourself and your family to the greatest extent possible, since they are Conan's neighbors and it's easy for something to happen there.

Take, for example, Gin's covetousness of Joel.

If we hadn't joined the brewery, we'd probably still be in the dark, let alone come up with a solution.

Amuro Tooru silently rolled his eyes, then nodded and smiled at Gin who was looking at him before continuing, "Good people wandering among bad people are like blank paper being dipped into an inkwell. Over time, how can they not be stained with darkness and become assimilated by evil, unable to resist it."

"Rising from the mud yet remaining unstained, washed by clear ripples yet not becoming seductive."

Since Amuro Tooru was flaunting his charms, Natsukawa wasn't going to tolerate it and retorted with a single sentence.

The poems you memorized in your past life weren't for nothing.

"Are you talking about yourself? Perhaps only Morofushi Kagemitsu's brother can rival me in terms of ink skills, let alone you." Natsukawa shook his head and gave him a disdainful look.

Amuro Tooru wasn't annoyed by the disdain, but was taken aback by the tequila's next words.

Even Morofushi Kagemitsu and Morofushi Takami know about agave.
