Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 505 Anya's Notes
Inspector Megure shook his head: "Brother Natsukawa will be here soon. Let's wait until he arrives and then ask him directly."

Officer Takagi nodded: "Yes, but the kidnapping of Anya shouldn't be true, otherwise why wouldn't Mr. Natsukawa tell us? Also, Anya's statement is too outrageous."

"Inspector Megure, you must believe me, I was kidnapped yesterday!"

Anya's eyes were full of determination as she said with great certainty, "If it weren't for my exceptional intelligence and courage, you probably wouldn't be seeing me today."

In the morning, Anya got out of her bed, thinking that yesterday's events were just a dream. After all, she had been knocked unconscious by the driver and shouldn't have woken up at home.

She only realized yesterday's events weren't a dream when the Junior Detective Club called to comfort her after she missed class today.

If they hadn't been kidnapped, it would be the afternoon of a day off at most, and it would be impossible for it to already be the next day.

God knows how upset she was when she heard it was a workday and she had to go to school. A perfectly good weekend had slipped away, and she didn't even have time to cry.

She vaguely remembered that in her dream she was drugged and then woke up in a car.

Then outside should be a suburban area or something similar, with only a dilapidated old house nearby, and the rest of the area is full of weeds and trees.

Not long after I woke up, a fight broke out outside. The driver and several bad guys seemed to be fighting with someone else.

She couldn't see the others clearly, only that there were quite a few of them, and that they were all black except for their eyes and mouths.

Taking advantage of the fierce battle, she secretly slipped away.

Then I fell asleep while running, and when I woke up I was already in my own bed at home.
It was quite bizarre, but Anya firmly believed that she had run back on her own.

Logically speaking, if she was rescued by someone else, that person would definitely not know where she lived, and she doesn't remember waking up and telling anyone her address along the way.

Therefore, the truth can only be that I am both wise and brave, the bravest of all, and I traveled a long way home. I was so tired that I slept until now, and because I was so tired, my memory of getting home is blurry.

Yes, that's right, that's exactly it!
Anya even smugly thought the driver was a complete idiot, that he was hopeless because she had run away time and time again, and that he would be the kind of person who would starve to death even in the kidnapping world.

However, not being able to make a living is one thing, but it's still necessary to report it to the police. After all, they are people from the distillery, and such an evil organization should be arrested one by one!
Although she couldn't do it herself, she could teach the other party a lesson through the Metropolitan Police Department and let the distillery know how powerful she was.

She also hoped to use this to deal a heavy blow to the winery and reduce some of her father's workload.

"But...Ania."

Officer Takagi glanced at Anya, then looked down at the statement in his hand, and had a lot of complaints he wanted to make.

He just can't understand it on a single point!

How could a little girl possibly run back to her own home in Beika Town from the suburbs?

He had just examined Anya's feet; they were very pink and tender, clearly indicating a well-off family. Even adults might struggle to run home from the suburbs, yet Anya didn't even have a blister on her feet—absolutely impossible!
"Officer Takagi, don't you believe me?"

Anya climbed onto the table, plopped down, and stretched out her toes, saying, "I wore slippers when I went out yesterday, but I can't find them today. That taxi driver must have stolen them!"

After saying that, she looked at Inspector Megure again: "And my allowance! When I woke up this morning, all my savings were gone, leaving only an empty little wallet. That driver must have stolen it while I was asleep!"

Takagi and Inspector Megure exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

I heard Conan say a couple of days ago that Anya has been under intense pressure lately, and I wonder if it's because of the excessive academic pressure that her mental state has deteriorated.

"How can you not trust Anya!"

Anya sulked and rolled around on the table, as if to say, "If you don't believe me, I'll cry," which made the two of them both laugh and cry.

If there were any doubts at first, it is now almost certain that Anya filed a false police report.

They said that given Natsukawa's personality, he would definitely notify the police immediately if a case occurred. Even if Anya was found, she should come to the Metropolitan Police Department today to explain the situation to them.

Instead of Anya herself appearing here.

More likely, Anya wanted to use this to escape her homework.

Not long after, Natsukawa arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department and rushed to the office of the First Investigation Division.

The fact that he didn't see Yoel made Xia Chuan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Inspector Megure, I'm so sorry, Anya has caused you trouble."

"Brother Xia Chuan, what exactly is going on? Anya's story sounds plausible, yet it doesn't quite seem plausible. It's all very confusing."

With a famous detective always protecting him, Inspector Megure had forgotten how long it had been since he'd used his brain. The first thing he did upon seeing Natsukawa was to ask about the situation.

Anya couldn't explain it clearly, but Xia Chuan, as the person involved, could certainly give him a reasonable answer.

"Okay." Xia Chuan nodded and asked, "Can I take a look at the transcript first?"

On the way here, Xia Chuan had already prepared his words, but to avoid any discrepancies, he still felt he should look at the statement first. Although Anya's behavior gave him a headache, it wasn't actually a particularly difficult problem to solve. After all, dealing with the police wasn't like dealing with the public security bureau; as long as his explanation wasn't too outrageous, there shouldn't be any major issues.

However, after he finished reading the transcript, his mental draft was instantly dissolved by stomach acid.

"Ania, are you sure?"

Xia Chuan's expression was complicated; he didn't know what kind of expression he should wear to match the mood of this transcript.

From Anya's notes, he somehow sensed a sense of wilderness survival, walking home from the suburbs. Not to mention him, even if the three little ones came, they wouldn't believe it.

"Uh"

Anya's eyes darted around, unsure how to answer.

Just now, while her father was reviewing the statement, she listened carefully to his thoughts and discovered that the details of the kidnapping case in his mind were different from her own. Where exactly did things go wrong?

Was it her father who saved her? But why doesn't she remember it?
"Inspector Megure, there's a new development."

Inspector Chiba, sporting a large belly that seemed poised to surpass Inspector Megure's in the future, appeared at the door, carrying a document in his hand. Judging from his expression, there must have been a significant development in some case.

"Based on the license plate number Anya provided, I actually found the car!"

Officer Chiba handed the documents to Inspector Megure before turning back to greet Natsukawa.

Inspector Megure took the report, still somewhat incredulous. "Are you sure it was him? Is it possible that Anya just happened to pick up a taxi on the street and memorized the license plate?"

Officer Takagi had the same question.

"It must be him. When I called the taxi company to inquire, the manager there recognized him immediately."

Last night was the deadline for this taxi driver to pay his taxi rental fee. Because he couldn't get through to him by phone, he thought he might be on his shift break. But he tried to contact him again this morning, and the phone was still unreachable.

"If I hadn't contacted him, he would have contacted us soon after."

Officer Chiba stepped forward, pulled out the photo, and said, "Ania, take a look at this driver in the photo. Isn't he the one who kidnapped you yesterday?"

Anya immediately recognized the photo as belonging to the driver who kidnapped her, but she was too afraid to say it.

She initially chose to call the police with the intention of helping her father, but after listening to his heartfelt words, she realized that her thinking seemed to be flawed.

Father seems to have almost resolved the matter. If she hadn't chosen to call the police, the matter might have been over by today. But her actions seem to have complicated things again.
Could the scenes in my memory really just be a dream?
Anya was completely baffled, let alone able to explain.

However, Inspector Megure interpreted this stammering as fear, and he began to believe that Anya hadn't made a false report.

After all, the driver's information was right in front of them; it was impossible for it to be such a coincidence that Anya just randomly remembered a license plate and the driver happened to have a problem.

Therefore, this only proves that Anya was not lying.

"Don't worry, Anya. Xia Chuan and I are here. Since you chose to call the police, you must trust the police officers, right?"

Inspector Megure continued softly, "Don't have any reservations. We will definitely bring the bad guys to justice."

“That’s right!” Officer Chiba added, “I’ve already contacted the patrol officers, and they should be at the other party’s house by now.”

Xia Chuan felt exhausted and patted Anya's head.

I should have waited for Anya to wake up today and told her the whole story before going out.

"Actually, when I found out last night that Anya hadn't come home, I went out to look for her immediately."

After searching for a long time without finding her, I began to suspect that Anya had been kidnapped, so I went home to call the police.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at their doorstep, they found Anya sleeping against Bond.

Anya was fast asleep at the time. Apart from her clothes being a little dirty and her shoes being missing, there was nothing strange about her. I thought she was just too engrossed in playing and hadn't paid attention to the time, which was why she got home so late.

Then this morning, because of work, I only had time to help her ask for leave and didn't have time to ask about the situation, so, actually, I don't really understand what Anya is saying.

By saying this, Xia Chuan was actually throwing the question back to Anya.

Anya was, after all, a primary school student, and one of the least intelligent among them. He couldn't guarantee that the other party could cooperate with him, so he had no choice but to do this.

Without suspicion, Inspector Megure and his two companions refocused their attention on Anya, waiting for her to confirm her target.

“It was him, he was the one who kidnapped Anya. It was because he and his accomplices got into a fight with someone that Anya had time to escape.”
