Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 501 The counselor enters the situation personally
Xia Chuan pondered for a moment and shook his head.

Gin may have had such suspicions, but he probably didn't send Vodka to subtly probe him.

After all, Vodka's acting skills are very average, and it's easy to tell if there's a problem. Even if Gin had an idea, it would be safer for him to do it himself.

Especially regarding information about Kusuda Rikumichi and Kitano Yujin, if Vodka truly suspected him, he wouldn't have told him about them.

So, Gin probably had some suspicions, which Vodka noticed. Then, Vodka felt he could help his brother, so he asked him questions while drunk.

Xia Chuan stood up, straightened his tie, and let out a soft breath, instantly regaining his energy.

He took out his phone and sent a text message, and soon received a reply.

After a while, Xia Chuan appeared in another room.

And standing before him was Bourbon, the very man Vodka had just suspected.

"What brings you to me all of a sudden?"

Amuro Tooru yawned. He didn't have much to do today. His original plan was to meet Yuri at noon. He was just about to leave when Tequila came knocking on his door.

The recording that Tequila requested is ready. While picking up the goods, we also need to inform Yuri about the speculations regarding Kidd and Vermouth.

Kaito Kid's voice sounds very young. If you don't consider that it's a voice changer but his original voice, he might not even be in his twenties, but only in his teens.

Furthermore, Vermouth suddenly disguised herself as a doctor named Araide Tomoaki and even joined Teitan High School, leading him to suspect that Kaito Kid's true identity might actually be a student at Teitan High School.

In order to be closer to her son, Vermouth chooses to disguise herself as Araide Tomoaki and become the school doctor at Teitan High School.

The fact that Phantom Thief Kid suddenly disappeared eight years ago and then suddenly reappeared this year is already very suspicious.

Using the information about Phantom Thief Kid obtained from the Interpol police, he discovered that the current Phantom Thief Kid's voice is significantly different from the previous one.

Considering that Rum's status, identity, and codename are all inherited from his father, is it possible that the same applies to Kaito Kid?

The former Phantom Thief Kid was very likely Vermouth's lover. Because of certain circumstances, he could not appear, so Vermouth raised her and Phantom Thief Kid's son to become the new generation of Phantom Thief Kid.

Amuro Tooru had a feeling that this idea was very close to the truth: Vermouth definitely had something going on with Kaito Kid from eight years ago!
"If it's about the recording, I can give it to you in the next couple of days. I'll contact you then."

"No." Xia Chuan shook his head: "Do you know about what happened last night?"

Amuro Toru nodded.

He was the organization's intelligence officer, and many of the peripheral members were his informants, including at least three at the distillery base. There were many things that couldn't be hidden from him.

"It seems you don't know why Vermouth suddenly went mad."

Xia Chuan repeated what Vodka had said.

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru immediately frowned: "So Gin suspects that one of us was behind it?"

"It's you, not me, and the one who's suspicious is Vermouth. As for Gin, he might be a suspect, but not much."

Amuro Tooru rolled his eyes. Tequila approached him because he was also suspected, and now he had to put on an innocent face and say that he was there to inform him. Did he think he was a fool?

It's either a test, or the other party really did it and wants to pin the blame on him.

The latter is more likely.

"By the way, I investigated your colleague in the public security bureau before. The target of Vermouth's operation this time was the daughter of your colleague's sister's boyfriend. Vermouth's operation failed this time, so it must have been because you interfered, right?"
According to Vodka, besides the five peripheral members who died at the scene, one of them was a spy planted by Gin within Vermouth's ranks. Furthermore, the little girl was never found.

Amuro Tooru's thoughts were immediately disrupted.

This involves Yuri. From Tequila's perspective, he knows his own identity, so it seems reasonable for him to suspect him. Therefore, Yuri really did come to inform him.

Realizing this, Amuro Tooru adjusted his attitude somewhat.

His previous communication with Tequila was not friendly, and he suffered too many losses. So he was instinctively wary when talking to Tequila. Now it seems that he had thought too darkly of people.

"no."

Amuro Tooru's expression was somewhat grave. Even though he had managed to prevent Vermouth from stealing the data, she still made a move against Joel.

Although it wasn't a direct attack on Joel, kidnapping her boyfriend's daughter was pretty much the same thing.

strangeness.
Amuro Tooru frowned, puzzled.

He had contacted Yuri that morning. If something had happened to Yuri's sister's boyfriend's daughter, Yuri couldn't possibly not know. Why hadn't he informed him?

Does Yuri not care at all about his future brother-in-law's daughter?

No, Yuri cares a lot about his sister. If Anya is kidnapped, Joel won't stand idly by, which means Yuri won't either.

Amuro Tooru suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap.

This incident may not have been carried out by the police. It is very likely that some clues were left behind when the peripheral members kidnapped Anya, and Xia Chuan discovered them!
According to Yuri, Natsukawa has strong observational skills and fighting ability. Amuro Tooru also watched the surveillance footage of the truck incident a few days ago, and it was clear from the footage that Natsukawa was agile and skillful, making it entirely possible that he took action on his own.

Perhaps Yuri was completely unaware of this matter.

Yuri had always suspected that Xia Chuan had another identity besides being a special investigator for the IRS. If Yuri's suspicions were true, then Xia Chuan's act of rescuing his daughter would make sense. If he remembered correctly, Xia Chuan's car was a GTR.

This further corroborated his suspicions.

Now, Tequila obviously doesn't know the specifics of Xia Chuan's situation and believes that this was his doing, so he reminds him to be careful.

Amuro Tooru naturally wouldn't reveal Natsukawa to Tequila. The two sides already had an unequal understanding of each other, so he would try not to reveal anything if possible, even if the other party specifically came to remind him to be careful.

"I don't know about this. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now."

The two did not continue their conversation on this topic. Not long after, Amuro Tooru waved goodbye, pretending not to care.

A smile appeared on Natsukawa's lips as he watched Amuro Tooru leave.

This was told to Amuro Tooru so that he could pass the message on to Yuri.

Yuri wasn't stupid; with a little piecing together the clues, he could guess that Anya's kidnapping was related to her sister.

In order to prevent Joel from blaming himself and to make amends to his seemingly disliked brother-in-law, there is a high probability that he will spread the word that the rescue of Anya was related to the police.

Taking the blame for this is nothing to the police. Both sides are well aware of the police's investigation into the winery. This matter will not have any negative impact; at most, it will only anger Vermouth.

The only problem here is where the police get their information.

However, Natsukawa had already provided Amuro Tooru with a suitable scapegoat during their earlier chat.

That was Gin's undercover agent.

If he can be Gin's mole, why can't he be a police mole? A triple agent seems illogical, but this is the world of Detective Conan, where everyone is smart and their imaginations run wild.

Vodka may have doubts, but he has no right to offer opinions.

"Such an obvious hint, Amuro Tooru should be able to pick it up, right?"

"I'm sorry, brother-in-law, this is all so that our family can be reunited."

Xia Chuan muttered something to himself and walked out of the room happily.

Today's plan isn't finished yet; I still have to meet Vermouth. To make the play complete and to get everyone involved, the strategist has no choice but to get involved himself and become an impulsive devil!

The winery base is a relatively large underground base with complex passageways and a large space. It was originally converted into something similar to an air-raid shelter.

The area above is a residential area, but the occupancy rate is low, and there is an air-raid shelter underground that no one would notice.

That's why Gin chose this location.

However, because it was converted from an air-raid shelter, the structure inside was somewhat complicated. In addition, two more layers were dug down, making the structure even more complicated. Xia Chuan kept asking Vermouth where she was with a dark expression, which made almost all the outer members aware of the matter.

— Tequila is very angry, and the reason seems to be related to Vermouth.

This is what Xia Chuan wanted everyone to see, especially Gin.

Xia Chuan found Vermouth in a conference room on the second basement level.

"Vermouth, I heard you suspect me?"

Arrive before anyone arrives.

Xia Chuan angrily pushed open the door and saw Vermouth, Calvados, and Baileys sitting in different corners, seemingly discussing something.

Vermouth was clearly not in good condition, which could be seen from the bandage on her head and her complexion.

Her position was in the corner of the conference room, blocked by the conference table, so Xia Chuan couldn't see if the other person was injured below the head.

But that shouldn't be the case, otherwise she wouldn't have kicked open Gin's door in the middle of the night.

"Tequila, didn't anyone teach you to greet people before you come in?"

The black chair with its backrest was forcefully pushed open, slamming against the wall with a loud "bang".

Calvados was the first to object. As a staunch supporter of Vermouth, he absolutely refused to see anyone speak to Vermouth like that.

Especially since the other person was Gin's subordinate, and that double chin was really annoying.

"Hehe, this is the Japanese branch of the brewery, Gin's territory. Unless he explicitly says no, there's really no place I need to knock on."

Xia Chuan also countered sharply, and took the opportunity to criticize Vermouth for kicking Gin's room door in the early morning, saying how impolite it was.

Calvados glanced back at Vermouth and found that she didn't seem angry at all, but rather thought that she was condoning his next move.

Yes, she must be encouraging me to protect her!
This scene seemed ridiculous to Xia Chuan, yet it also seemed quite normal.

That's right, that's how a simp should be.
