Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 51 Love Triangle?
10:30 p.m.

Poirot Cafe is closing time.

Actually, Xia Benzi was quite friendly, letting the three of them stay for a long time. Otherwise, Poirot Cafe should normally start asking people to leave after 10 o'clock.

"Auntie, take care, let's meet again another day~"

Anya's hand, holding the flip phone, kept shaking.

She and Joel just exchanged phone numbers and agreed to hang out together again next time.

She had a great time today. Putting aside the fact that Joel was Bond's foreseen mother, she felt very relaxed just being around her. This mother gave her a sense of security.

As for the images of being an assassin that sometimes flashed through Joel's mind, Anya had already automatically filtered them out.

Is it a problem that the father is a spy and the mother is not an ordinary person?

No problem, that makes perfect sense!
She was even a little excited. Her father was a spy, her mother was an assassin, Uncle Frank was an information broker, and Mr. Mori, Ran, and Conan were no ordinary people either.

Life should be this colorful and interesting.

At first, she was somewhat shocked, but she was quickly won over by Joel's head-patting-the-captive policy and his appeasement.

Aunt Joel's arms were so comfortable, warm and comforting.

However, Aunt Joel seemed to be having some mental issues, appearing dazed and repeatedly saying that she had come to Poirot's Cafe for some business, but when asked to recall, she couldn't remember anything.

“Miss Joel, shall I drive you home?” Xia Chuan checked the time. It was 10:30. It wasn’t very safe outside at this time. Apparently, a “Beihua Wolf” had recently appeared in Beihua Town, and yakuza organizations were still quite popular in Japan. It wasn’t safe for young women to go home at night.

"No, it's alright." Joel said somewhat embarrassedly, referring to the message given by Mr. Natsukawa.
My colleagues at the Metropolitan Police Department said that it seems only boyfriends would take their girlfriends home.

No, it seems that some men who are pursuing women also do this.

So, Mr. Natsukawa, is he... No way, no way?

“It’s already 10:30. Beika Town isn’t very safe at this time. I heard there’s been a Beika wolf who preys on women who pass by. Let me take you home.”

“Yes, Auntie.” Anya nodded frantically. “Father has a car, he can take Auntie home soon.”

Father finally got it; all his efforts of acting cute and charming all night hadn't been in vain.

And Bond, he's also put in a lot of effort, which is commendable. I'll give him a treat tomorrow.

"Alright then, thank you so much, Mr. Natsukawa."

“It’s not that bad.” Xia Chuan nodded. “Wait here for me for a moment, I’ll go get the car.”

As he spoke, Xia Chuan crossed the road and walked to his house on the other side.

When Xia Chuan returned home, Bond had already come back as well. He was lying at the door, and when he saw Xia Chuan return, he looked up at her, then shifted his body slightly before continuing to relax leisurely.

Walking yourself is exhausting, especially since you have to constantly watch out for the Wolves. You're just a dog; you definitely can't beat a wolf.

"The Wolf of Rice Flower?"

Joel frowned and looked towards the end of the street. How could someone like this appear in Beika Town? He had to find him when he had time. People like that deserved to die!

Cut off all three legs, and don't leave the two arms either. It's best to turn him into a human pig and let him bleed to death.

Joel's mind was already dismembering the Wolves of the Rice Flower, while Anya stood beside him, her eyes wide open, too afraid to speak.

My aunt is so scary, thankfully she won't do that to me.

While relieved, Anya's heart sank again for the Mihua Wolf.

It would be best if the Wolf of Rice Flower was caught by the police. If Aunt Joel caught him, then things would be very bad.

"Getting in the car."

The GTR's window rolled down, and Xia Chuan peered out curiously.

I've been standing still for several seconds, and these two are still thinking about nothing, showing no intention of getting on the bus at all.

"Oh, oh, oh, here it comes!" Joel finally realized what was happening and grabbed Anya to get in the car.

She had just planned out the whole process, from capturing the Mikasa Wolf to dismembering him and disposing of his body, making him absolutely regret the title he had earned.

"Auntie, sit in the front."

Seeing that Yor was about to open the back door, Anya spoke up to remind him.

Is anything different up ahead?

Although puzzled, it was Anya's request, so he just assumed it was a child's quirk and didn't say anything. He opened the passenger seat and got in.

The moment he sat down, a fragrant breeze wafted to Xia Chuan's nose.

This isn't the scent of shower gel or shampoo; it's the natural body odor that some women have.

While on missions, he interacted with many women who naturally possessed a pleasant body odor. However, Joel was probably the most unique; her scent was different from the others, possessing a blend of softness and wildness. It was quite strange.

As soon as Anya got in the car, she slipped out of Yoel's arms and climbed into the back seat herself.

Xia Chuan was both amused and exasperated, but he didn't say anything.

He remembered Anya saying that the passenger seat was reserved for Anya and her mother.

It now seems that Anya highly approves of Miss Joel.

However, on his side...
I'm still undecided.

He felt a strong, inexplicable attraction, but the issue of his identity remained a difficult hurdle for him to overcome.

Anya knew what her father was thinking, but she couldn't tell him that her mother's true identity was actually an assassin.

Even if she told her father, he wouldn't believe her. And even if he did, how could she explain how she found out?

She doesn't intend to tell anyone about her mind-reading ability.

Even her father and mother couldn't tell her; she had to protect her secret of mind-reading and not tell anyone.

Protect yourself, and protect Bond.

With a roar, the GTR's engine sped off, and the strong push-back feeling made Anya extremely happy.

Exciting! My father is indeed a spy; he drives incredibly fast.

In the shadows next to Poirot Cafe, a man in a sharp suit trembled slightly, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly.

He looked like he'd been gritting his teeth, as if his wife had been stolen from him.

"Xia Chuan, is it? Just you wait, I'm going to find out everything about you."

Yuri saw Natsukawa drive his car out of his house, and thus learned Natsukawa's name.

With an address, surname, and license plate, it's easy to find the person.

"I hope you're okay, otherwise I'll make you pay the price."

Yuri put his hands in his pockets, turned and left.

Conan, who was upstairs, opened the window and saw the GTR driving away and the boyish-faced man downstairs whose every step seemed to leave cracks. He looked thoughtful.

Is it a love triangle?

He had just heard Anya's voice and started paying attention to the situation downstairs. Could this man be planning to kill someone?

After all, it's Beika Town, so it's not entirely impossible.

With that in mind, Conan prepared to go downstairs to take a look.

The car rental shop in Qingshan asked Uncle Mori but he didn't know either. The clues went cold, and the detective's wisdom had nowhere to go. He was feeling rather empty right now.

"Conan, what are you doing?"

Ran squinted at Conan, who was being exceptionally naughty today, and felt a faint sense of impending doom emanating from behind her.

Conan suddenly disappeared at the Beika Restaurant in the evening, causing her to search for him for a long time. Although he eventually returned, he was covered in dirt and looked like a beggar.

You should know that she was the one who washed Conan's clothes. They were so dirty that she almost threw them all away in anger.

Before I could even get angry with Conan, Conan sneaked out again after taking a bath, and I didn't get home until 9:30.

Judging from the current situation, are they going to go out again?

Doesn't he even look at the time? And does Conan really not respect me at all?!
Ran was on the verge of exploding, the veins on her hands were bulging. If Conan weren't her biological brother, she would have already swung her left fist and her right stick at this moment.

"Hey, Lan-jie, can I go out for a bit? I think I just dropped a limited edition Kamen Rider gold card."

Sweat trickled down Conan's forehead. He knew Ran was angry, but his stubbornness as a detective made him disregard everything.

"Yeah."

Ran squinted, and Mount Fuji behind her began to erupt, the scorching heat blowing Conan's hair into a slicked-back style.

"Actually, it doesn't matter, it's just a gold card. I'm going to sleep now."

Conan fled in panic, his detective stubbornness completely melted away by Ran's volcanic outburst of emotions.

He can only wait for another opportunity.

She comforted herself: Mr. Xia Chuan is so strong, maybe I can escape the murderous intent of this young-faced man.
