Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 47 Unable to bear the injustice of paying taxes
what money?

Vodka was stunned, somewhat unable to react.

It took him four or five seconds to realize that if Hideaki Nakajima were to die, the money should still be with Tequila. This money was what he gave to Tequila, and now he needed to get it back.

"Tequila just left. As for the money, I..."

Gin remained silent on the other end of the line, and finally hung up.

Vodka put his phone in his pocket, his face flushed.

My older brother is unhappy because I couldn't even handle this small matter properly.

It's all agave's fault.

Knowing full well that the organization is now extremely frugal, they still don't voluntarily hand over this money.

This is 100 million yen, which isn't a particularly large sum for an organization, but it's incredibly important for a Porsche 356A that can only fill up with 92-octane gasoline these days.

After thinking for a moment, I took out my phone and called Tequila.

Xia Chuan, who had just left the Dahei Building, took out his flip phone.

Unknown number?

Did Vodka call him? Didn't he just leave? Is there something he hasn't told him yet? Or did Gin come back?

"Hey?"

Answer the phone and wait for the other end to speak.

"Tequila, where's the money?"

Vodka's somewhat angry voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Money."

Xia Chuan then remembered that, in addition to the list and the killing of Nakajima Hideaki, he needed to hand over the transaction funds to Gin.

"Let's do it another day. I need to make sure Nakajima Hideaki dies today, I don't have time." Natsukawa muttered under his breath, "You're not out of money for gas, are you? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Of course not. The main issue is that embezzling public funds is not allowed. If you want to die, you don't have to pay. Also, the money from selling the drugs is about the same amount."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Xia Chuan coldly interrupted.

"Okay," he replied, and hung up the phone.

Who doesn't have a temper?
Is this the tone of someone asking for money?
Don't they know that the one who owes money is the boss?
After arresting Tequila, Frank found nearly 200 million dollars in cash in his three temporary residences.

It now appears that part of the money came from purchasing the list, while the other part was likely profit from selling followers.

It's probably impossible to keep this money now. Gin must be really short of cash, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Shikijima by helicopter to steal gold bars and had Miyano Akemi rob a bank before she died.

After returning home, Xia Chuan prepared dinner for Anya and then prepared to go out.

But at his doorstep, he saw Conan looking as destitute as a beggar.

The blue suit jacket was covered in black soot, the face looked exhausted, a leaf was stuck in the hair, and the shoes seemed to be blackened and looked like they were smoking.

Is Conan running with his leg-strengthening shoes on?
"Conan, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Chuan rolled down the car window and greeted Conan.

"Oh, it's Uncle Xia Chuan. It's alright, I just tripped and fell."

Conan forced a smile, scratching his messy back of his head and grinning foolishly.

Actually, he had just accidentally stepped into the cement of the road construction project.

Because the acceleration from the power-enhancing shoes was too terrifying, he couldn't control them at all and stepped directly into the still-wet cement, then fell face-first into the mud.

As for the reason.

Of course, it was because they were looking for the so-called Qingshan Car Rental.

He searched the entire Beikacho 5-chome area, but couldn't find a car rental shop, or even a car wash. Now he seriously suspected that the lobby manager was also a member of that black-clad organization.

If that were the case, would asking that question expose himself, or Uncle Mori? He pondered this question the whole way, his anxiety making his already somewhat disheveled appearance even more comical.

"Oh, I see. You should go home now."

After saying that, Xia Chuan closed the car window and drove off gracefully, leaving Conan with a pipe of exhaust fumes.

Because no incidents occurred, the game launch event at Full Heaven concluded successfully, and everyone went home to their respective families.

Hideaki Nakajima, Koji Ueda, and Hironobu Takeshita all returned to their residences.

Because Mantendo's company is located in Beika Town, their residences are also located in Beika Town.

Hideaki Nakajima returned home carrying his suitcase, overjoyed.

I'll be able to pay you back soon.

He was finally free from the pressure of debt. Since accumulating debt, he hadn't been able to have a proper dinner in a long time.

Place the takeout meal on the table.

Nakajima decided to have dinner with Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Seeing 100 million yen would definitely make me eat with extra gusto.

Thinking about it, he placed the suitcase on the table and happily opened it upside down.

The moment he opened it, he saw the light emanating from within.

A golden legend? Is it gold? Why does it glow?

Wait, it's white light!
Before they could even get a clear look at Fukuzawa Yukichi inside, Nakajima was already enveloped and torn apart by white light, and finally, a festive mushroom cloud rose up over the entire Nakajima house.

The loud noise traveled for miles around, and many people opened their doors and peeked out to see what was happening.

The neighbors next to the Nakajima family were quite unlucky; because their house was made of earthquake-resistant materials, the whole house shook like jelly for a long time.

However, the neighbor didn't say anything, but worriedly found the landline and called the Metropolitan Police Department. The action was very practiced, which showed that it was not the first time he had called the police.

When Xia Chuan arrived at Frank's house and heard the news, he smiled noncommittally.

Nakajima's death was expected.

People who have debts outside will definitely open their briefcases as soon as they get home.

Are Takeshita Hironobu and Ueda Koji still around?

Frank shrugged and pointed at the screen.

The screen is divided into three sections, showing the surveillance footage of Ueda, Nakajima, and Takeshita. One of the screens is currently distorted, while the other two are still functioning normally.

"not yet."

The surveillance camera was installed outside, which could only confirm that the two people had returned home. Xia Chuan had no idea when they would open the suitcase.

Xia Chuan was about to take this opportunity to check the documents Vodka had given him when he saw one of the screens suddenly covered by a white light. The image shook violently for a long time, and then the camera seemed to be hit by something, falling down and turning into a snowy screen.

Another death.

“It was Takeshita,” Frank continued. “This guy was killed by a bomb.”

Frank chuckled with a hint of wickedness. "I wonder what this guy's expression will be when he opens the briefcase and finds a bomb inside."

It turned out to be him.

Xia Chuan nodded.

"Alright, keep an eye on things. If Ueda isn't dead by nine o'clock, I'll go over and handle it. Let me check the documents first to get a feel for the situation." After saying that, Natsukawa remembered something, "Oh right, where's the money?"

"There~"

Frank pointed to two suitcases in the corner of the living room.

All the money I collected from Tequila's house is here.

There are also computers and mobile phones, which may contain some information, but it will take time to decipher them. The brewery's anti-hacking technology is not weak, so we cannot be careless.

Tequila's phone had call forwarding set up in advance, so any calls made to that phone would be forwarded to Xia Chuan.

After all, Tequila has a group of distributors under its control. If Xia Chuan wants to continue to maintain this facade, then selling fans will definitely have to continue.

Of course, it could also be sold to the IRS, but you would have to pay taxes, and Xia Chuan said he couldn't stand that.

Anyway, he's selling tequila under the guise of selling tequila, so even if he gets caught, the blame will fall on the distillery.
