Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 493 Father, I Don't Want to Study
The Metropolitan Police Department took the intrusion of Phantom Thief Kid very seriously. Over the next month, the number of officers on night duty tripled, and police patrolled every building every hour.

Fortunately, no data was lost this time, which relieved the higher-ups somewhat.

On the police side, Yuri used this as an excuse to arrange for several team members to monitor the area near the Metropolitan Police Department.

The real reason for the eye-gouging was to prevent Phantom Thief Kid from harming national security.

Because he had no reason to do so and was afraid of being discovered by his sister, he dared not place any people in his home or Xia Chuan's house.

Amuro Tooru returned to the distillery base and learned from Vodka that Vermouth had gone out that night, further fueling his suspicions about the relationship between Vermouth and Kaito Kid.

Aside from the unexplained reason why the son's disguise skills are superior to the mother's, everything else has been basically confirmed.

It is said that Phantom Thief Kid has always been at odds with the zoo, and from the information he has received, he knows for certain that the zoo wants to obtain the Pandora Gem in order to achieve immortality.

Connecting the keyword "immortality" with Vermouth immediately reminded him of APTX4869, which the organization was researching.

So, could Vermouth's appearance in Japan be related to Pandora? This could explain why the boss could tolerate Vermouth ruining the US branch and still be able to leisurely vacation in Japan.

They must have secretly accepted a mission from the boss!
Once these pieces are put together, we can roughly conclude that Phantom Thief Kid is likely also under the boss's command, but he just didn't follow the organization's path.

The news from the Metropolitan Police Department spread like wildfire. Gin was furious when he learned that the department had installed several layers of security in the archives overnight and increased patrols.

In this case, obtaining information about Joel may only be possible through field visits and investigations, which would waste even more time.

Amuro Tooru simply didn't have the time to waste, and Tequila and Vodka would be working on the promotion tasks for the peripheral members during this period.

The only one who was relatively free was Gil, but he wasn't confident in Gil's abilities.

Therefore, this matter can only be put aside for the time being, and we will have to wait for another opportunity.

To cover up Homoto Ichiki's mistake, Gin personally assassinated two high-ranking officials who were being held at Aoyama Mental Hospital.

Fortunately, the situation began to improve after the assassination of the former high-ranking official.

The Tokyo political scene experienced some turmoil due to the actions of two former high-ranking officials, with several officials stepping down and new people taking office, which created opportunities for him to intervene.

Good news came from Bourbon: they have reached a friendly strategic cooperation agreement with the mayor of Nishitama City. They have leverage over the mayor, and they can then transfer some important items to Nishitama City.

Because it was close to Tokyo and was in a period of relative obscurity, no one expected that a new criminal organization would emerge so soon after the purge of Nishitama City.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Xia Chuan.

Over the next few days, Ai Haibara formally accepted Anya's full education, and Natsukawa didn't have to do anything.

He doesn't need to supervise homework, doesn't need to worry about Anya running off to play, doesn't need to care about Anya's declining grades, and even his sugar intake is something Ai Haibara has to manage. As a father, he only needs to play the good cop at certain times and give Anya some emotional comfort.

Natsukawa could tell that Ai Haibara seemed to want to mold Anya into an all-around elementary school student.

The journey was fraught with difficulties, but he believed that Ai Haibara had the ability to achieve them.

He suddenly had a feeling that it was good that Ai Haibara always looked like a child, at least Anya could receive a good education.

Not right either.

If Ai Haibara doesn't return to normal, then this year probably won't end.

Well.
Thinking about it, Xia Chuan suddenly felt that there was no problem.

Isn't that a form of immortality in disguise?
"Father, I can't take it anymore!" Anya rushed to Xia Chuan's side, interrupting his thoughts.

Anya's eyes were filled with tears, her hands were behind her back, and she was holding an onion in her hand.

Xia Chuan twitched his nose slightly, smelling the onion, and immediately knew what the little girl was thinking. Then he showed a kind father's smile: "Ai is doing this for your own good. Besides, you do have time to relax. You have an hour of free time every day, except for sleeping."

One hour.
Anya almost fainted on the spot. How could someone with a temperature of 36.5 degrees Celsius say such cold and heartless words?

Strictly speaking, she's only four and a half years old this year!

Okay, I think she told her father she was five years old.

Anya smacked her lips, feeling like she had shot herself in the foot.

"But people really don't know how. Why would someone fill the pool with water while simultaneously pumping it out? Even I know that's just a waste of time."

Anya turned around and glared at Ai Haibara, who had just come downstairs, still sleepy-eyed.

After tutoring Anya yesterday, she organized some data, which is why she slept until this time.

There's no way around it; I always can't help but have bursts of inspiration in the early hours of the morning, which is actually when my work efficiency is at its highest.

Ai Haibara nonchalantly took a glass of water and drank it before saying, "This is just a way of putting it. If you don't like the idea of ​​pumping water while simultaneously draining it, I can change the title to 'The Pool Leaks.'"

"Father, I don't want to study. I want to go out and play, relax, and go on a picnic. Yesterday, the Junior Detective Club went on a trip, and I, as the leader, didn't go. If this continues, the team will become disunited!"

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow. The idiom was used correctly! It really is Ai Haibara!

"No, you can't go anywhere because you have class tomorrow. And have you forgotten? Yesterday, the Junior Detective Club went on a trip and ran into a gang of robbers. Although the four of them came back safely, they went through so much danger."

"That's really fun!"

Anya, hands on hips, glared at Ai Haibara: "If I go, I definitely won't have to go through any danger, and maybe I can solve the problem from the very beginning."

The ability to hear one's innermost thoughts is incredibly useful; no one can hide their true self from Anya.

She believed that as long as she went with the four members of the Junior Detective Club, there would be no further danger.

"hehe."

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes. Luckily Anya didn't go, otherwise the danger might have been much greater.

If it weren't for Natsukawa providing some self-defense toys, it's hard to say whether Anya would still be alive today.

It seems the Junior Detective Club didn't choose an auspicious date when they were formed, which led to the team having a lot of bad luck. Almost every time they went out, they encountered a series of dangers.

Anya's involvement will only increase the danger, because her thought process is too peculiar.

Because of this problem, she doesn't really want to participate in the Junior Detective Club's team-building activities. It's too troublesome. Every time she comes back, she has to be dragged to make a statement. It's not interesting at all. She'd rather do research in the research lab.

"Today's task is difficult. Instead of wasting time here, we should save our energy for the homework."

Anya gritted her teeth, and when she finally saw Xia Chuan shrug helplessly, she completely lost her composure, stomped her foot hard, and went upstairs.
