Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 530 is just about the qualification to participate in the game, isn't it? Anya has that too!

On the day of the "Cocoon" game launch event.

The "Cocoon" game launch event, a groundbreaking product jointly organized by Syndora and several Japanese game and software companies, is a very important event for Japan.

The scene was packed with journalists, businessmen, and politicians; almost every prominent figure from across the country had gathered there.

This is beyond the scope of an ordinary press conference.

For politicians, this is a political achievement; for businessmen, this press conference will influence their future development direction in the internet and computer software industries.

This game is too advanced. If we can keep its production in Japan, it will definitely alleviate the economic downturn to some extent.

Moreover, this holographic simulation game is highly playable, and its immersive gameplay might even boost public enthusiasm for life and reduce the suicide rate.

Therefore, the Metropolitan Police Department took the matter very seriously and deployed a large number of officers and mobile units to maintain security at the scene.

Of course, the presence of Toshio Morohoshi, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, was also a contributing factor.

The entrance to the crowded Beika City Hall was packed with people, who continued to enter. Among them, the Grim Reaper Duo and the Junior Detective League were the most eye-catching.

The juvenile detectives were playful and mischievous throughout their journey, a stark contrast to the other children.

Natsukawa and Kogoro Mouri walked into the venue side by side.

"so many people."

Before entering the venue, Kogoro Mouri glanced back and saw the dense crowd below. He muttered to himself, "It's just a game launch event. Does it really need such a big fuss? And they're even discriminating by class, only allowing the children of politicians and celebrities to enter the game."

Kogoro Mouri is clearly just being a sour grapes.

"Uncle Mori, the fact that they invited you as a guest at the press conference shows that you already have a certain level of popularity in high society."

"That's true."

Mori scratched the back of his head and laughed, earning him an eye roll from Ran.

"However, this press conference was indeed grand. There were more than two hundred police officers maintaining order outside, and many guards were on duty inside. I just saw Aunt Joel and Officer Sato Miwako go in."

Conan had a bad feeling. This press conference was so grand, but they chose Beika, the area with the worst crime rate in Tokyo. He really didn't know what those people were thinking.

"I wonder if they checked it at all. Hopefully, it hasn't been planted with a bomb."

"Don't jinx it. We finally got out to relax, don't spoil my fun." Ai Haibara gave Conan a dirty look.

"Look, isn't that the press conference venue? Aren't those eggs the 'Cocoon' game?"

The young detectives gathered around the corridor window and looked down.

Below is a large tiered lecture hall. The stage has been modified, and egg-shaped machines are arranged in a staggered manner. Looking down from the corridor, it gives people a strange sense of awe.

"I really want to play too!"

Genta asked the probing question: "Uncle Mori, you're so famous, has the Sindora Company given you the qualification to participate in the game? Could you give me the qualification instead?"

Upon hearing this, the other two children's eyes lit up, and they cast hopeful glances at them.

Mori curled his lip; if the other party had given him that qualification, he wouldn't have had to complain just now.

Although the Sindora Corporation extended an invitation to him to attend the ceremony, it was only for him to observe.

"I heard there are only 50 spots available, and all participants are sons of powerful and wealthy individuals invited by the Sindora Corporation."

Ai Haibara didn't want to discourage the kids, but to dissuade them, she handed them a picture book.

The album happened to be turned to one of the pages, and the three little ones immediately saw the gorgeous "cocoon" badge on it.

"Will I be able to enter the game if I have this?"

"Siguoyi, I really want one too. Do you think if I cut this badge off the picture book and stick it on my chest, I can participate in the game?"

"Well, you're quite the little rascal." Conan's lips twitched. These kids never seem to have this kind of thinking when solving cases.

"what"

"What's wrong?" Conan turned to look at Ai Haibara. "Did you find the people from the Black Organization?"

"Do you really think I'm a radar?" Ai Haibara's face darkened, and she pointed at Anya, who was standing in front of her, with a puzzled look.

Anya walked ahead of everyone, her shoulders shrugging, seemingly doing something.

"Logically speaking, Anya should be very interested in this kind of game, but look, she's acting a bit strange today."

"Perhaps there's something even happier going on."

Conan shook his head; he wasn't interested in knowing such trivial matters.

As they spoke, the group arrived at the party hall.

The standard procedure for the press conference: eating and drinking, Sindora giving a speech, and then announcing the game's first closed beta test.

So now it's time to eat and drink.

The three children were immediately drawn to the dazzling array of food, forgetting all about the badge. Kogoro Mouri also put aside his unhappiness and dragged Natsukawa to try the wine.

Xia Chuan sighed helplessly, drinking with the other party while observing the scene.

Sindora is probably going to make a move against Kenmura Tadahira later; Kenmura Tadahira can't die at this time.

Whether it was to explain things to Joel or for his own purposes, Kenjiro Tadahira had to survive. Conan's gaze fell on Natsukawa. He found it strange; although Natsukawa was wealthy, he wasn't a businessman, and his position in the National Tax Service was something politicians disliked. How did he get an invitation?
Moreover, Natsukawa's gaze was indeed observing his surroundings, clearly indicating that he was not on the same side as Uncle Kogoro.

They don't look like they're seriously attending a party.

Ai Haibara glanced at Conan, then at Natsukawa, remembering what Joel had told her earlier.

We can't let Conan cause trouble.

Ai Haibara looked around and finally found something to distract Conan.

"Look, the son of a powerful person has arrived."

"what?"

Conan paused, his gaze shifting from Natsukawa to the direction Ai Haibara was pointing.

Suzuki Sonoko walked over gracefully, wearing the "Cocoon" game badge from the picture book pinned to her chest.

She was also one of the participants.

The appearance of Sonoko Suzuki immediately attracted the attention of the group, especially the three little ones, who wished they could take the badge off her chest and break it into three pieces.

Sonoko Suzuki didn't seem to care about the stares; instead, she puffed out her chest and held her head high, her intention to show off obvious.

Before the group had exchanged more than a few words, four little boys dressed in outfits that rivaled Conan's appeared beside them.

They were all dressed in suits, looking every bit like little adults.

Not only that, but they also looked down on people, belittling the three members of the Junior Detective League to the point of being worthless.

No, they are six little ones.

Because Anya, Ai Haibara, and Conan are also within range of fire.

"You talk like you're so great. So what if your family is rich and powerful? Believe me or not, I'll send Conan and Uncle Mori to your house."

Conan and Ai Haibara disdain arguing with children, while the three kids are speechless after being rebuked, except for Anya, who stands with her hands on her hips glaring at the four of them.

"Hey, Anya!"

Conan stared at Anya with deadpan eyes.

Anya's words were clearly more disrespectful than those of the four children.

Was encountering the case his problem? It was clearly the case that was calling him.

It is because of his existence that there are fewer wrongful convictions in this world. In the end, Anya blames herself.
Everything was clearly the best arrangement.

"Little brat, what are you talking about?"

Hideki Moroboshi, who was in charge, was very unhappy. The existence of a detective like Kogoro Mouri had greatly damaged the Metropolitan Police Department's prestige, and this was one of the reasons why he came to cause trouble.

However, what does this sentence mean? Does this little brat actually know that the profession he hates most is detective, so he disgusts himself with it?
However, Anya really meant exactly what she said, and there were hundreds of people present. She didn't even activate her mind-reading ability, and apart from a headache, she got no benefit whatsoever.

"The sons of politicians will become politicians, the sons of bank presidents will become bank presidents, and no matter how much time passes, this country will not change."

With this hereditary system, humanity's erroneous history will continue to repeat itself.

After saying that, Ai Haibara glanced coldly at the children: "I am very worried about the future of Japan."

The children naturally couldn't stand these words: "Hmph, who is this little brat from? He's so sarcastic. I can tell you're just envious of our privileged family and parents, right?"

The four children looked at each other with mutual affirmation, especially the leader, Hideki Moroboshi: "But there's nothing we can do. We were born with a head start, with the best educational resources and the best background. Even if we do whatever we want, we'll still have a better life than you guys in the future."

Ai Haibara didn't speak, but her eyes visibly dimmed when she mentioned "family" and "parents".

"Hmph, our family is much better than yours, those ugly and rotten families."

Anya couldn't hold back anymore. It's okay to talk about Ai Haibara, but how can you talk about her father and Aunt Yoel?
The next moment, Anya pulled a badge from her pocket, held her head high, and pinned it to her chest: "It's just a qualification to participate in the game, right? Anya has one too!"

"Shame on you, nee nee nee nee!" Anya made a face, then glanced provocatively at the four children's faces. Seeing their astonishment, she immediately said smugly, "This kind of thing doesn't represent status at all, you bunch of self-important brats!"

Xia Chuan watched the whole thing. At first, he nodded in approval of Anya's actions in defending Ai Haibara, but his expression changed noticeably after Anya took out the badge.

The children slunk away, leaving Xia Chuan and his group standing there in silence, all looking at Anya.

This is undoubtedly an expression of doubt.

Conan asked in confusion, "Uncle Natsukawa, is this for Anya?"

“No wonder Anya wasn’t interested in the badges in the picture book at all,” Ai Haibara chimed in, then gave Natsukawa a somewhat disgruntled look.

Yes, she's being arrogant.

Why does Anya have things that she doesn't, and how did Xia Chuan obtain them?
However, Xia Chuan was also completely bewildered. He helplessly spread his hands and said, "In fact, I have the same question."

Xia Chuan checked the time and realized there were still a few minutes before the speech. He stepped forward and asked, "Ania, where did you get your badge?"

Before Anya could even show off in front of the three little ones, Xia Chuan took the badge from her hand.

"Um..." Anya's stammering manner gave Xia Chuan a bad feeling.

The worst-case scenario is that Anya was stolen.

Is that okay?
