Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 456 My lover is my country
Anya had already tossed the game console aside, pushed over a chair and sat down, seizing on Yuri's earlier words to nitpick.

Just now, Yuri's uncle must have been thinking that his colleague was right, and she heard that in her mind!

"I mean, Touko is my classmate, from high school. We're pretty much friends and classmates."

"Little friend, this is for you!"

Amuro Tooru smiled and took a beautiful chocolate out of his pocket and handed it to him.

As an intelligence agent, he inevitably encounters children when gathering information. These children are easy to bribe and are unlikely to lie, so he always keeps some snacks in his pocket for emergencies.

He investigated Anya and found she was a complete foodie; this trick worked the best!
"what--"

Anya happily took it, tore open the packaging, and stuffed all the chocolate into her mouth in one smacking sound.

Xia Chuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but Anya was quick to react, seeing and hearing everything around her.

"Father, what do you want to say?"

"Never mind, it's alright."

Xia Chuan sighed helplessly, "You've had enough sugar today, you can't eat any more!"

"By the way, Mr. Amuro Tooru, didn't you used to work at the front desk of the Beika City Plaza Hotel?"

On one side is the Beika City Plaza Hotel, and on the other is the Beika Restaurant, which isn't a chain restaurant. Natsukawa wanted to see how Amuro Tooru would explain it.

"You two know each other?" Yuri asked casually.

Amuro Tooru nodded slightly. This wasn't really a problem; he had already thought it through when he answered Conan earlier.

"To be precise, I didn't work as a receptionist at the Mihua City Plaza Hotel. My friend was unavailable that day, and since I also work in hotel services, I temporarily filled in for him."

This excuse is perfectly valid. In this day and age, many service jobs involve having friends fill in for others, while a small number involve taking leave or having a colleague cover for them.

That's how it was during the Great Depression; if you didn't work hard, you risked being fired at any time, so it was pretty much standard practice.

Because of Yuri and Amuro Tooru's arrival, Conan no longer wanted to speak and sat alone in a corner, feeling unhappy.

Natsukawa roughly guessed that Amuro Tooru and Yuri's meeting was related to Yoel's matter and the two requests from the Tequila Vest.

Thinking of the request he made to Amuro Tooru yesterday, Natsukawa's interest was piqued again.

"Mr. Amuro, you work in the hotel service industry, you must know a lot of people, right? Do you have any suitable girls you could introduce to Yuri?"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Yuri can't be all alone! It's one thing for him not to find a girlfriend, but he's also stopping Aunt and Father from getting one."

Anya's voice trailed off as she spoke, because Xia Chuan gave her a similar look, and saying anything more would only annoy Yuri.

Amuro Tooru didn't notice Yuri's change in expression. Natsukawa suddenly mentioned it, which reminded him of what Tequila had said.

He had initially chosen to selectively forget about it and didn't want to bring it up, but Yuri's brother-in-law actually did.

But Akemi Miyano is a criminal. It's not appropriate for a criminal and a police officer to fall in love, is it?

"If there are any suitable women, we must introduce them to Yuri. Joel has been talking about this recently. After all, Yuri is already twenty-six or twenty-seven. Thirty is the age to establish oneself. Dating and marriage are not things that can be done overnight. He doesn't have much time left."

Natsukawa completely embraced the role of brother-in-law, and every word he uttered came from the bottom of his heart. At least Amuro Tooru couldn't see anything insincere about him; on the contrary, he thought Yuri was a surprisingly good brother-in-law.

Amuro Tooru handed Yuri a message: "Your brother-in-law is so nice, why did you make me investigate his eyes?"

Yuri's face flushed red, and his fists clenched tightly.

His perspective is completely different from Amuro Tooru's; from his point of view, Natsukawa is clearly being sarcastic and unsettling.

He must feel that he's affecting his relationship with his sister, which is why he's in a hurry to find himself a girlfriend.

He doesn't need a girlfriend at all; what he loves is this country and his sister.

"Yuri, you're definitely not getting any younger."

Yuri retorted, "And what about you? You're already 29, even closer to turning 30. Aren't you going to consider it?"

You know me

Amuro Toru shrugged, but didn't say the phrase "the lover is the country".

It's strange for a hotel lobby manager to say something like that.

"Who isn't?"

Yuri rolled his eyes inwardly. It was as if his lover wasn't from this country...

No, he also has an older sister, and she's ahead of him in line.

But they're all pretty much the same; he only ever falls in love with the country anyway!
Nearby, Conan was so bored he almost fell asleep. His girlfriend already had someone in mind, and marriage was still a long way off, so he had no interest in the topic at all.

"Conan, what do you think of Ran?"

The initial thought that it was none of my business vanished instantly. Conan glared angrily at Natsukawa and said, word by word, "Ran-neechan is no good! She belongs to me... to Kudo-nii!!!"

The name Shinichi Kudo immediately caught the attention of Tooru Amuro.

Because he's been too busy lately, he hasn't had a chance to deal with the relationship between the Kudo family and Louis. Once the organization's promotion mission is over, he must find some time to go to the United States to see Kudo Yusaku.

And then there's Shinichi Kudo, that guy hasn't appeared in a long time.

As expected, Conan Edogawa and Shinichi Kudo knew each other, and they must have been quite familiar, otherwise he wouldn't have acted and spoken to each other like that. Amuro Tooru's eyes darted around, and he chuckled as he asked, "Conan, do you know Shinichi Kudo? I actually work as a detective occasionally, and Shinichi Kudo is my idol! Can you tell me about him?"

Amuro Tooru used the same trick again, taking out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handing it over: "Do you know where Shinichi Kudo is now? Or do you have his contact information? I want to have an in-depth exchange with him about crime-solving experience."

Amuro Tooru, who holds multiple positions, said that time is precious and that if he could contact Kudo Shinichi, he might be able to save time going to the United States.

Conan was a little annoyed that the fire had landed on him, but it was a good thing that he had steered the conversation off course. Ran was only seventeen years old and Yuri was twenty-six; they were simply not a good match!
Conan took the chocolate and, under Anya's sparkling gaze, put it in his mouth before explaining, "I spoke to Kudo-nii on the phone a while ago. He should still be in Europe. He's Ran-neechan's boyfriend. Uncle Natsukawa, you shouldn't try to play matchmaker."

"Feel sorry."

Natsukawa shrugged to indicate OK, then turned to Anya and grabbed her as she was about to accept Amuro Tooru's second piece of chocolate.

Anya sighed, sat up straight again, but her eyes kept glancing in Amuro Tooru's direction.

Since she couldn't get her hands on the chocolate, Anya seized the opportunity to create a topic for gossip:

"Didn't Brother Kudo show up last time? And three of them showed up at once."

What does "three" mean?

Amuro Tooru was puzzled, then realized that he was just a kid and was probably talking nonsense.

"It's true! Conan was there at the time. There were three Kudo brothers. They all looked exactly alike, like triplets."

Anya took out her little hand and started counting: "The first one that appeared was called the Kudo washing machine, then the Kudo dishwasher and the Kudo floor scrubber."

"Isn't that right, Conan? You were there at the time, so you should know very well."

Conan opened his mouth, unsure how to explain. He was still completely confused about the two imposters.

One of them is probably Kaito Kid, but who is the other?

No, to be precise, there are three, plus Hattori Heiji, that black chicken, joined in the fun.

"The last two are fakes, the first one, Shinichi-san, is the real one."

"But I heard that Kudo Washing Machine Brother seemed to have pulled Kudo Floor Scrubber Brother's face, and that face was clearly real!"

Anya, not content with the already exaggerated claim, quipped, "Who knows, maybe Shinichi Kudo is actually a triplet."

a bit outrageous
Amuro Tooru turned to look at Yuri, wanting to get confirmation from him.

Yuri was also completely bewildered; this was the first time he had ever heard of such a situation.

"But the case that happened was solved by the first Shinichi, so the two people after him must be fakes!"

Conan spoke with absolute certainty, even forgetting to ask Anya how she knew so much when she wasn't even there.

"Case?" ×2
Amuro Tooru and Yuri were surprised, as they didn't always keep track of the Metropolitan Police Department's cases.

In addition, Heiji Hattori and Vermouth did a good job of keeping it a secret, and the students of Teitan High School did not spread the news.

Anya recounted the whole story in detail.

Due to their limited communication skills, Yuri and his companion were completely confused, but they managed to grasp the general situation.

Yusaku Kudo actually has three sons, but whether they are triplets or born to three different women is unknown.

The three Shinichi Kudos look almost identical, even their faces are real, so there's no possibility of them being disguised.

In addition, Anya mentioned Kaito Kuroba in passing.

This left the two even more confused. So, Shinichi Kudo actually has a very ordinary face?

Even Xia Benzi, who was standing at the front desk, couldn't help but come over.

Shinichi Kudo is, after all, a celebrity in Japan, a famous detective in the Kanto region before Mori, and he naturally attracts attention.

"So in the end, their identities were never confirmed?"

Amuro Tooru asked curiously.

Since there were police officers present, they shouldn't have let the two guys leave so easily.

On the contrary, that's not the case at all.

Inspector Megure was worried that a deeper investigation would affect the harmony of the Kudo family, so he did not conduct a thorough investigation.

"It should be Phantom Thief Kid and his accomplices."

Conan, worried that his father's reputation would be ruined if he continued talking, quickly offered an explanation.

It looks like I'll have to investigate the Kudo family thoroughly when I get back!
Amuro Tooru had no idea and was determined to dig up information about the Kudo family.

He never expected that Shinichi Kudo would be involved with Kaito Kid.

What is the purpose of Kaito Kid's appearance?

With the addition of the brewery, the Kudo family is now involved with two evil forces!
"By the way, I haven't had a chance to ask yet, is there something you two need to do so early?"

Natsukawa interrupted the conversation, saying that Anya had already said enough about Shinichi Kudo, and if they continued talking, Natsukawa was worried that Amuro would reveal Conan's true identity the next day.

As for the girlfriend issue, mentioning it once is enough; saying too much will backfire.
