Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 488 Beep, Overtime Card

It's a dark and windy night, when people kill people and set fires.

A black sedan was parked on the deserted side of the road, and two upright men got out under the streetlights.

"Well then, Mr. Furuya, Mr. Yuri, I'll be going now."

The bespectacled man in the driver's seat greeted the two people who got out of the car, started the engine, and drove away.

The vehicle drove away, the two exchanged a glance, and continued walking towards the road.

In front of them was the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, the entire headquarters of the Tokyo police.

"Isn't this information a bit excessive?"

On the way, Amuro Tooru finally had the opportunity to take out the files that Yuri had prepared in advance and look at them.

Their goal today is to replace Yoel's file, or at least remove the information about Yuri.

Gin likely saw Yuri's face when he was at the Blue Castle, and if the information is brought back, there's a good chance it will be discovered.

Although Gin has the incredible ability to forget people's names and faces after just one glance, it's not something you should gamble on.

The personal profiles were modified. In addition to Yuri's photo being replaced with an ordinary face, even Joel's personal information was completely altered.

"What do you mean by 'the world's number one fighter'? Both parents are high-ranking government officials, and you have a younger brother who runs a mercenary group in the Middle East. Aren't you afraid that Gin will be even more interested if you write it like this?"

Amuro Tooru's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. This was too outrageous. If Joel really had the situation described in the story, he would be even more interested if he were Gin.

Acquiring one Yor is equivalent to acquiring a powerful bodyguard, two high-ranking in-laws, and a mercenary group.

“I’m trying to make him back down, to let him know that I have an entire Middle Eastern mercenary group behind me, and he’ll definitely be scared.”

"Heh, knowing you have an entire mercenary group in the Middle East, he'll be even less likely to let your sister go."

Amuro Tooru didn't say anything after he finished complaining. It was too late to change it now. He would just secretly take it and leave it there. Anyway, he would come to steal it in a couple of days, and he would change it when he got back.

The reason he made the extra trip to the Metropolitan Police Department was mainly to complete the act; it's a personal habit of Amuro Tooru to avoid any loopholes later on.

The Metropolitan Police Department was very quiet at around 1 a.m., with only a few officers on duty.

The officers on duty didn't pay much attention to the two people who came in, because they had already changed into police uniforms on the way.

"Beep, overtime card."

For Yuri, an active-duty public security officer, obtaining two Metropolitan Police Department badges was not difficult.

After clocking in, the two entered the elevator and headed straight for the floor where the archives were located.

The archives and combat training room are on the same floor. Since both of these jobs are daytime jobs, there is no one there at this time.

The entire floor was dark, with only the red light flashing from the surveillance camera in the corner.

The two of them pulled down their hat brims to easily avoid the surveillance cameras. Even in places where it was difficult to hide, they would try to move the cameras slightly.

The process went smoothly, and the two quickly arrived at the door of the archives room.

"I've already made a copy of the key; now all I need to do is submit this file."

Yuri was initially full of confidence, but the moment he saw the door, he was completely dumbfounded!

The door to the archives was ajar, with a narrow gap. If you looked closely, you could see signs of prying through the keyhole.

The two instantly became alert, exchanged a glance, and both saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

Amuro Tooru immediately pressed down on the brim of his hat, wishing he could just pull the police hat down over his face, as if afraid others would see his face.

The door to the archives is open at this hour. Who else could it be but Vermouth and Baileys?

Yes, there is no other possibility.

"I can't meet Vermouth without disguising myself. Go in and check, make sure she doesn't take your sister's information, otherwise your identity will be exposed."

Yuri nodded silently, took out his pistol, and slowly widened the gap in the door.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Amuro Tooru walked away and hid in the shadows.

That's the downside of not being able to disguise yourself; you still have to worry about being discovered.
If someone is disguised, even if Vermouth can tell that it's a disguised face, she won't know who's behind the mask.

Fortunately, Yuri's abilities reassured Amuro Tooru.

Vermouth's main strength lies in her exceptional disguise skills, but her combat abilities are lacking. Yuri's combat abilities are hard to say, but he also has his strengths, and his main strength lies in his resilience.

If the two of them were to meet, neither of them would likely die.

This is the result that Amuro Tooru wanted to see.

If Vermouth is arrested by the police, it will be detrimental to his ability to lure out the boss. If things continue as they are, he will likely meet the boss in the near future.

However, if Vermouth is captured, the boss will inevitably become more vigilant and may even relocate. In that case, all the efforts of the past years and the sacrifices of Morofu may be in vain.

After the door opened just enough for one person to pass through, Yuri slipped inside. He immediately checked behind the door to make sure no one was there before turning around and becoming wary of his surroundings.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has approximately 40,000 police officers, including officers, engineers, and administrative staff.

In addition, it has more than two thousand civilian staff.

Therefore, the total number of police-related personnel in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department exceeds 42,000.

With such an accumulation, the police officer information archive room becomes quite bloated.

Rows of shelves were densely packed with documents, each containing information about a police officer. There were over 40,000 documents in total; that person certainly hadn't found his sister's file yet.

Yuri reassured himself, then carefully closed and locked the door.

After doing all that, he picked up his pistol and began searching.

There were too many shelves and the room was very quiet. I didn't know if it was because the other person was being overly cautious or if they had already left.

No! Vermouth must still be here. If she had left, the door wouldn't be ajar!
His footsteps were silent, his movements slow; Yuri was like a seasoned hunter capturing his prey, his eyes gleaming.

I walked past the rows of shelves, but still didn't see a single person.

Even the files on the shelves showed no signs of being touched.

Yuri looked up at the signs on the shelves. This area contained police files, and although his sister was a combat instructor, she was in an office job and wouldn't normally go out on fieldwork, so they should have to go further inside.

"Shh—"

As Yuri went deeper, he gradually heard the sound of paper file folders rubbing together.

"Is it here?"

Yuri tightened his grip on his pistol. The impending confrontation did make him a little nervous. After all, the other party was Vermouth, and Baileys and Calvados might also appear with him. He would be facing more than just one person.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of this; on the contrary, he was quite excited!

He moved very slowly, trying to minimize the noise he made, and gradually pinpointed the exact location of the "shasha" sound.

If we can catch Vermouth here today, then this trip will have been worthwhile.

Amuro Tooru is too conservative. What is there to be afraid of?

Could it be that Vermouth could escape from his grasp?

Confidence makes men more attractive, confidence makes men display their prowess, and confidence makes Yuri's heart race.

Yuri was completely absorbed and had lost track of how many shelves he had walked past. All he knew was that the sound was right in front of him!

"Got you!"

Yuri's lips curled into an excited smile, and he suddenly peeked out, his pistol instantly locking onto the source of the sound.

Immediately afterward, a humanoid silhouette came into view. Without hesitation, Yuri pointed his gun at the upper body of the figure.

"Don't move!"

The sudden sound startled Xiao Hei, who was looking through documents.

The sound was too abrupt, without any prelude. By the time he heard it, he was already firmly locked on, and it was obviously too late to escape.

Xiao Hei appeared very calm. He stood still, his eyes darting around as if searching for a way to escape.

Both sides of the shelving unit are made of steel and are fixed directly to the ground, so they cannot be pushed over.

To leave from where you are now, you need to back up four meters to find the corner. In that time, the policeman might very well open fire.

There's not enough time!
Realizing there was no way to retreat, Xiao Hei began to scrutinize the policeman in front of him. In the man's eyes, he saw determination, a determination tinged with murderous intent.
This was unlike any police officer he had ever met before; his gaze was even sharper than that of a certain inspector in the Second Investigation Division.

"Strange, judging from his clothes, he seems to be just an ordinary police officer, so why does he have such sharp eyes, and even a bit of a sense of oppression?"

Xiao Hei couldn't understand when such a person had appeared in the Metropolitan Police Department, especially a nobody like him. It didn't make sense.

The dark clouds outside the window dispersed, and moonlight shone on Xiao Hei through the gap between the window and the cabinet.

Xiao Hei's full appearance gradually became clear to Yuri.

Xiao Hei was also wearing a police uniform, and his face was very ordinary, just like any other passerby on the street.

Yuri did not let his guard down because of the police uniform and appearance; on the contrary, he became even more vigilant. The other person's appearance made him even more certain that the person was undoubtedly Vermouth.

"Close your eyes, open your palms, and raise your arms overhead!"

"What are you doing? Don't startle people in the middle of the night, okay? And who are you? I've never seen you at the Metropolitan Police Department before."

Xiao Hei didn't do as instructed; instead, he began to question the other party's identity.

"Don't think I don't know who you are. You think wearing a police uniform makes you a cop?"

"."

The two were completely on different wavelengths, each talking to themselves.

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that?"

Through the faint light of the moon, Xiao Hei finally saw the policeman's face clearly.

It felt unfamiliar, yet strangely familiar, as if I'd seen it somewhere before.

not only that!

Xiao Hei looked down at the file in his hand. It was Joel's file, and inside was a photo of her brother, Yuri.

Yuri looks exactly like the man in front of him.

Good heavens, isn't that Xia Chuan's brother-in-law?!
When did police officers start wearing uniforms? Besides, they don't even work at the Metropolitan Police Department building.

Wait, could he also be here to exchange documents?
Kuro is Kaito, who was commissioned by Natsukawa to modify Yoel's data.
