Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 457 Unexpected Car Accident!

Amuro Tooru was clearly still somewhat unsatisfied, but he seemed to have no excuse to continue asking questions. He secretly noted this down and would investigate it later.

Yuri made up a random excuse to brush him off.

Conan couldn't sit still any longer; he was worried that if he sat any longer, Anya would expose all his secrets.

Amuro Tooru already made him feel strange, so it was best to leave first!
"Ania, hurry up! I just remembered that Professor Agasa has a really fun game at home that was just developed today. I'm sure you'll love it!"

Before Anya could reply, Conan grabbed Anya and disappeared like a gust of wind.

Anya looked at Coco, who had just arrived, and shed a tear of reluctance at the door.

"What a strange child."

"Hehe, Conan is always like that, always so energetic."

Xia Chuan patted his bottom, paid the bill, and left hastily, not wanting to disturb the two's serious conversation.

"Finally gone."

Yuri slumped in his chair, stretched out his legs, and stared at the ceiling, feeling a sense of relief.

Xia Benzi covered her mouth and chuckled, glancing at Amuro Tooru a couple more times before going to prepare new coffee.

Although Amuro Tooru is dark-skinned, he is indeed very handsome. It would be a luxury for him to become my boyfriend, no, even my colleague.

"Speaking of which, Tequila told me something yesterday that coincides with what your brother-in-law said."

Amuro Tooru smiled with narrowed eyes. Yuri was in a rather unusual state today. Feeling like teasing him, he simply repeated Tequila's exact words.

Xia Chuan had no idea what had happened at the coffee shop; he only knew that he could see Yuri cursing loudly from the direction of his house.

After a short conversation, Yuri slammed the door and left. From the shape of his lips as he left, one could vaguely decipher what he said: "My love is this sister and this country."

Conan's meeting and Yuri's appearance were just a brief interlude in the morning.

Since Anya and Ai Haibara both went to the doctor's house, Natsukawa decided not to cook lunch and drove to the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up Yoel from get off work.

The primary objective was to pick up the next shift, and the secondary objective was to check whether Vermouth had taken any action against Joel.

She outwardly rejected Gin, but who knows what she might do behind the scenes? Perhaps she'll pull some strings for Ran's safety.

For example, a truck attack.
At the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department, Joel exhaled sharply and jumped off the top of a heavy truck with a severely deformed front end.

Let's go back thirty seconds.

Natsukawa came to the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up Yoel after get off work. Just as Yoel stepped out of the Metropolitan Police Department, a heavy truck suddenly went out of control and crashed into the two of them.

Xia Chuan happened to see this scene in the rearview mirror, but it was obviously too late to start the car, so he could only quickly open the door to avoid it.

The moment he jumped out of the car, the GTR was hit squarely.

The truck, the GTR, and Joel were in a straight line. After smashing the GTR, the truck did not lose much speed and continued heading straight for Joel.

Xia Chuan knew he was in trouble. He rushed forward, grabbed the car door, smashed the hard windshield with his whip kick, and shoved himself into the driver's seat.

With remarkable composure, Joel grabbed the stunned police officer standing guard beside him and charged towards the truck.

"Instructor Joel, no..."

The officers were taken aback by Joel's actions and instantly became extremely agitated.

With a blank expression, when he was less than three meters away from the truck, Joel jumped up and kicked the front of the truck to gain momentum, leaping directly onto the top of the truck.

At this point, Xia Chuan had completely taken control of the vehicle, slamming on the brakes. Once the truck's speed dropped to a certain level, he turned the steering wheel to prevent the truck from crashing into the Metropolitan Police Department's gate.

The roaring sounds rose and fell, and the sharp screech of brakes and collisions continued unabated.

Thick black smoke billowed up, and the truck's impact extended beyond the Metropolitan Police Department, causing damage to numerous vehicles on the road and triggering multiple rear-end collisions. Xia Chuan pulled the handbrake, kicked open the truck door, and pulled out the truck driver, who reeked of alcohol and was unconscious.

Behind the truck, two phone booths lay askew, and red fire hydrants sprayed water into the sky, creating a small rainbow effect in the sunlight at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Several cars on the road had their front and rear ends severed, but some kind-hearted citizens were unharmed and have already begun to help with the rescue.

Besides the high crime rate in Mihana, the enthusiasm of its citizens also reflects the style of an international metropolis.

Inspector Megure and the police officers led by Ginzo Nakamori agreed to respond as quickly as possible, and they intervened in less than a minute.

Xia Chuan handed the truck driver over to Inspector Megure; without asking, he had already sensed the problem.

It was Vermouth's doing.

Vermouth planned to kill Joel in a car accident to ensure Conan's identity would not be revealed.

Presumably having heard about Joel's strength from Gin, she didn't choose to use either cold or hot weapons, but instead opted for a heavy truck, hoping to create an accident.

Clearly, she underestimated Joel. Even without Xia Chuan, Joel's strength meant nothing.

The only downside is his GTR.

Xia Chuan silently looked at his beloved car.

The truck carries a load of over ten tons, and even if there are obstacles in front of it, it doesn't affect its speed much.

The original 4705mm long GTR is now completely destroyed. Forget about repairs; if the fire hydrant hadn't poured water all over the vehicle to extinguish the flames, it would probably be just a frame now.

Xia Chuan and Yoel were unable to have a big meal and could only have a quick lunch at the Metropolitan Police Department.

An hour later, Inspector Megure gave his conclusion on the accident: it was a tragedy caused by drunk driving.

A high concentration of alcohol was found in the driver's body, confirming that he was driving under the influence of alcohol.

The driver, however, could not be saved due to excessively high blood alcohol content.

Upon receiving this news, Joel's expression turned very grave.

She wasn't surprised that Inspector Megure came to this conclusion, but that didn't mean she agreed with it.

This cannot be explained simply by drunk driving.

The heavy truck accelerated noticeably as it approached, and through the windshield, she saw the driver's ferocious murderous intent.

This person definitely did it on purpose; her target was clearly her!
Based on his previous encounters with Gin, Joel deduced that this was most likely Gin's doing.

It's revenge on her!

Joel looked up at Xia Chuan, whose face had sharp features, and felt a little worried.

If she had known Gin was no match for her, she should have grabbed Conan and run away instead of fighting him.

"Are you alright?" Xia Chuan pulled Joel into his arms and kissed his cheek, saying gently, "Were you frightened? Should we go to the hospital to get checked out?"

"fine."

Joel forced a smile, not revealing his true thoughts; he wouldn't let Xia Chuan know such a thing.

However, we really owe a lot to Xia Chuan this time. If Xia Chuan hadn't jumped into the car and controlled the heavy truck to slow it down through friction and foot brake, the truck would probably have crashed directly into the Metropolitan Police Department.

You won't need to wait until tomorrow; you can see the newspaper tonight.

The Metropolitan Police Department not only needs detectives to solve cases, but it can't even maintain its reputation. Heaven knows how disappointed the public will be when this report comes out.
