Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 523 Gin: 1v5, the advantage is mine

The white light pierced precisely through the car window, heading straight for his face as if it had eyes.

Gin instinctively raised his hand to block.

clang-

The pistol stock collided head-on with the white light, and the immense force and shock caused the pistol to slip out of control.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone. A gunshot rang out, and several flashes of light passed by his ears. The two people who were still running ahead of him visibly staggered.

Before Xia Chuan could fire again, another beam of white light shot out, this time larger than the one that had hit Gin earlier.

Surprisingly, the white light even had an arc, forming a parabolic curve to dodge the pickup truck and strike Xia Chuan directly in the face.

Xia Chuan remained unfazed, leaned back, and braced himself with his hands on the ground. A flash of white light passed before his eyes, and he finally saw that it was a trash can.

Conan, you really don't hold back.

When Natsukawa and Gin refocused their attention, Akai Shuichi and James were nowhere to be seen.

Because the surveillance cameras were destroyed, the logistics department was unable to provide the exact alley the two individuals entered.

The alleys here are very complicated, and it's extremely difficult to find your way around once you're inside.

Princess Thorn is still waiting for them and doesn't have time to waste too much time on Shuichi Akai.

"Lord Gin, we've discovered thorns here!"

Before he could finish speaking, the walkie-talkie made two "clicks" and then started emitting a piercing electrical sound.

"The Thorn Princess may have made her move!"

Gin's face darkened; clearly, the Thorn Princess had discovered their observation point and had made her move on the two remaining outer guards.

In this back and forth, neither side was taken care of.

Gin was furious, but he could only suffer in silence.

The two quickened their pace and hurried back, but after only a few steps, Gin's phone rang.

Xia Chuan didn't hear what was said on the other end of the phone, but judging from Gin's visibly gloomy expression, it probably wasn't anything good.

"Someone has called the police, we need to speed things up!"

When Xia Chuan and Gin returned to the original observation point, they smelled a strong stench of blood before even entering. Upon opening the door, they found that the two outer members were no longer breathing, and their walkie-talkies had been pierced by something, leaving a dent in the ground.

"Vodka, how's it going on your end?"

It was only then that Gin realized there had been no sound of vodka for the past few minutes.

He knew Vodka's talkative nature well; it was impossible for him to have remained silent for so long, especially since something had happened to one of the peripheral members. He would have asked about the situation.

unless!

He got into trouble too!
There was no sound from Vodka on the other end; the walkie-talkie seemed to be blocked, with only a buzzing sound of electricity responding to Gin.

"Is Vodka dead?" Xia Chuan asked in surprise.

Gin shook his head slightly, knowing that this was impossible.

Putting aside the number of people inside the fake base, even if Vodka were stupid, he wouldn't last more than one round.

"Brother, there's smoke coming out of the office building windows; it's probably vodka."

Xia Chuan turned to look out the window. A thick fog was escaping from a broken window of the office building. As it spread, a faint smell of alcohol could be detected from it.

If I'm not mistaken, the vodka used those smoke bombs with added alcohol.

Just then, one of the windows suddenly shattered, and a burly man in a black suit flew out, screaming as he fell directly to the ground from the five-meter-high window.

With a bang, the sound stopped abruptly, and blood splattered.

When the two arrived downstairs, there was more than one corpse. Four or five gruesome bodies of peripheral members lay on the ground, silently testifying to the terror of the Thorn Princess.

"Even if it's a trap, Princess Thorn can still do this."

As they were talking, another peripheral member was thrown out and landed right in front of Xia Chuan.

Gin knew things were going badly, and his anger towards the Thorn Princess intensified.

Without lingering, the two walked straight inside.

Not long after the two entered, a sports car screeched to a halt at the entrance, and the blonde Vermouth and her sidekick Bailey Sweet got out of the car.

"It looks like the situation is a bit complicated. Let's go up and take a look."

Vermouth frowned. If this operation hadn't been at the boss's behest, she wouldn't have participated in such a dangerous hunting mission. Gin and his two companions hadn't managed to handle it before, and with her and Baileys already involved, it would probably be very difficult.

Natsukawa and Gin followed the sound to the floor where the incident occurred, where the floor was covered with peripheral members disguised as researchers.

The vodka had vanished; only the strong smell of vodka lingered in the air.

I don't know if it has been ground into dust by Yor and become ubiquitous.

Through the glass partition, the two saw the Thorn Princess operating something on a computer.

The two pushed open the glass partition and stood in the doorway, the dark muzzles of their guns pointed at the Thorn Princess.

"So, you're opposing our organization to steal information?"

Gin frowned, and couldn't help but think of Sherry.

"Are you planning to steal APTX4869's research data?" Gin felt contemptuous when he received no answer and instead stared at the computer screen. He raised his hand and fired a shot at the screen.

zizi——

The computer emitted blue smoke, sparks flew, and a burnt smell wafted through the air.

For Gin, this seemed like an interesting thing. Although he knew there was no data on the computer, seeing the Thorn Princess's furrowed brows made him feel relieved.

"Big brother!"

Vodka suddenly appeared from some unexpected corner.

He was clearly in a sorry state, with a long gash on his chest and a clear bloodstain on his exposed skin, but it shouldn't be too serious, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to run out like that.

"Princess Thorn, you didn't expect this, did you? It was all part of our plan. You've fallen into our trap, and now you're doomed!"

As he spoke, he opened his suit jacket and pulled out two more specially made alcohol vaporizers.

At the same time, Vermouth and Baileys also appeared at the door.

When Joel saw Baileys, she was clearly taken aback. She didn't recognize Baileys, but she did recognize Nami Amamiya. In fact, when Natsue Hiramoto first took over, the group of them had gone shopping together many times.

Unexpectedly, she was also from the winery.

And look at the woman next to her, wow, it's actress Chris Vineyard!
"I didn't expect there would be such an unexpected bonus."

Joel spoke calmly, stood up, and said something that seemed to indicate he wasn't worried about not being able to leave.

Holding the golden cones in both hands, her aura alone was comparable to that of the five people opposite her.

1v5, the advantage is mine!
Gin was confident that, at worst, Kitano Yuujin would arrive, and having him handle the situation would reduce the commotion and help avoid the police's attention.

This is Kitano Yujin's mission, which is many times simpler than Homoto Ichiki's.

All you need to do is join the battle when you fail here, and use the police's firepower to kill the Thorn Princess.

However, before that, Princess Thorn has to get past them first!
Gin didn't care what Joel said and fired immediately. He didn't have time to waste on a dying assassin.

Vodka didn't hold back either, immediately throwing an alcohol smoke bomb at them.

It was because of this thing that he survived instead of becoming one of those who fell to their death.

Joel's eyes flashed, and as Gin fired, she caught his hand movement and dodged it. She completely ignored the two alcohol smoke bombs he threw; the masks of today were not what they used to be, as they could filter out 99% of the volatile gases.

She could only inhale less than one degree Celsius, a temperature no different from that of air.

The smoke exploded upon landing, and the thick fog completely enveloped Joel, causing Gin to lose sight of his target for a moment.

As the second smoke grenade exploded, the dense fog in the room became even more intense and began to spread, gradually enveloping Xia Chuan and the others.

Looking out through the glass window, one can see that the entire room is completely covered by thick fog, the indoor temperature has plummeted, and condensation has begun to appear on the glass walls.

Gin didn't have time to call Vodka an idiot; he could only fire based on the Thorn Princess's movement trajectory at the last moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xia Chuan secretly placed two white smoke grenades on the ground from an angle where no one could see them.

The sound of high heels clattering on the ground grew louder as the sound of gunfire grew louder. Several people fired their guns in quick succession, the bullets flying like a fishing net towards the sound. Some bullets hit the wall, while others seemed to collide with some metal, making a clanging sound.

Realizing that the alcohol had not harmed the Thorn Princess, but rather affected their vision, Gin immediately turned around and used his memory to shatter the glass wall, and the thick fog began to spread outwards.

"Stop shooting!!"

Vermouth suddenly shouted, realizing that Gin's muzzle flash when he fired was so intense it looked like it was about to ignite the thick fog.

"The air contains a lot of alcohol. Once the concentration reaches a certain level, the gunshot will cause the air to ignite, and we will die here!"

After saying that, she rushed out towards the glass wall.

Just as Xia Chuan was about to pull out another smoke bomb to cover the corridor, he heard the soft sound of high heels clicking.

In the dense fog with visibility of less than twenty centimeters, a golden cone swept across, almost grazing his face.

Xia Chuan stepped back to the side to dodge, then rolled to create distance.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his backward steps hit something, and the next moment he heard Vodka suddenly shout, "My bird!"

Xia Chuan cursed his bad luck and kicked the vodka away.

He then crawled out as well.

Before the thick fog in the corridor could spread, the sound of metal clanging came from inside the room, clearly indicating that Princess Thorn and Gin were fighting.

Seeing the thick fog that flashed by from time to time, Xia Chuan quickly said, "Don't use metal, the sparks will also cause the air to burn."

Sure enough, upon hearing Xia Chuan's prompting, the two inside subconsciously put away their weapons and began a physical fight.

However, compared to Joel, whose profession is a combat coach, Gin is clearly at a disadvantage, as he cannot use weapons, which undoubtedly weakens him by half.

As the culprit who caused all this, Vodka had just stood up when Gin, who flew out of the thick fog, slammed him back to the ground.

Vermouth's face was grim. She looked around but couldn't see her capable assistant. The assistant had been right beside her and should have come out with her.

"What about Baileys?"

Her response was a scream.
