Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 540 Key Figure, Kenmura Tadahiro

"How did that happen?"

Xia Chuan's heart sank to the bottom. Given his expectations for Noah's Ark and Hiroki Sawada, this was not the outcome he should have received.

He asked with a somewhat stiff expression, "Is there a problem somewhere, or is the DNA information I gave you about Anya incomplete?"

Frank shook his head seriously: "There are two possibilities."

"Either Anya has no relatives who have visited the hospital or left their DNA information, which is very unlikely, because her mother would definitely have left blood records during childbirth. This is an essential safety measure taken by the hospital to prevent problems during childbirth."

"Is it possible that Anya wasn't actually born in a hospital?"

“Ania does not lack vaccines and antibodies, which means that she received normal antibody and vaccine injections after birth, and such vaccines can only be obtained through legitimate channels.”

As early as the early 90s, many places consciously extracted and preserved children's DNA information when administering antibodies and vaccines.

The United States is a multi-ethnic country with a very high crime rate, and you know why.

"And the other one?" Xia Chuan continued to ask.

“Ania’s DNA, as well as the DNA of her relatives, was deliberately deleted.”

"Also, there's more bad news, and you'd better be prepared." Frank closed the current interface and brought up another one: "Yor and Yuri's DNA information can be found, but their information only starts from two years ago; before that, it's all blank."

For example, Joel has been with the Metropolitan Police Department for several years, and the department conducts physical examinations every year, but her DNA information could only be found two years ago.

Furthermore, no DNA information similar to Yoryuri can be found on the entire internet, meaning that there is absolutely no DNA information about their parents or relatives online.

I have this urge to dig up your girlfriend's parents' graves.

Xia Chuan's lips twitched. Digging up graves, how could Frank even think of that? If Joel found out, Frank was dead for sure, and he would be torn to pieces too.

"Actually, I also suspected that there might be a problem with the program, so I tried to trace the source using my DNA information."

"The results of it?"

“There are still some traces that can be found online. Although our DNA information was completely deleted back when we debuted, we can still find clues through this program. The power of this program is beyond our imagination.”

Xia Chuan felt incredibly heavy-hearted: "Does this mean someone is searching and deleting their DNA information every year? This only stopped two years ago."

"It's like this."

Xia Chuan felt dizzy and lightheaded. What the hell was going on?
It's certainly a good thing that we don't have to think about Anya's future, but this mysterious past makes Xia Chuan feel uneasy.

"That person!"

The word resurfaced in Xia Chuan's mind.

Based on the description of Noah's Ark, Hiroki Sawada likely knew "that person".

"Check Tadahiro Kenmura's DNA information!"

Xia Chuan took out a strand of hair and handed it to Frank, then sat on the sofa and waited quietly.

Frank took the hair and immediately went out for DNA testing.

An hour later, they rushed back and entered the DNA information into the tracking program.

After all, searching on the internet worldwide is very slow.

About an hour later, the results came out.

"Similarly, the DNA information that Kenjiro Kenji could find only started appearing two years ago, during a medical examination before he joined the Syndora Corporation."

Frank scratched his frizzy, ramen-noodle-like hair in frustration, but because the hairstyle was so unusual, he almost ripped his scalp off in a few tries.

"Could it be that Noah's Ark deleted their information?"

Xia Chuan shook his head: "Impossible. Noah's Ark said to hide, not delete. The DNA tracking program comes from the same source. Since he was willing to give this to me, there was no need for him to hide their DNA information."

Xia Chuan plopped down on the sofa, remembering what Noah's Ark had said about not being able to find information about Joel's parents.

He always felt there was something strange about it.

Why would an ordinary person hide their DNA information? There's absolutely no need. There must be some secret hidden in their DNA or biological genes.

For example, the experimental subjects he previously speculated about.

He suspected that Joel and Yuri were experimental subjects because they possessed special abilities.

But what about Anya?
Is being stupid a special ability?
The brewery, Yori and his parents, Hiroki Sawada, Anya, Tadahira Kenmura, and that person.

These people and forces seem to be forming a connection.

There are traces of "that person's" existence in all of these.

"It seems I have to go see Kenmura Tadahira."

After a long silence, Xia Chuan dusted off his suit and stood up again: "Kenmura Tadahira must know some secrets."

Frank nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "But what identity do you plan to use to approach Kenmura Tadahiro? There has to be a reason, right?"

"The excuse isn't hard to come up with; it just depends on whether Tadahiro Kenmura will tell me."

Kenmura Tadahiro was released immediately after giving his statement.

Although Sindora Inc. was teetering on the brink of collapse, Tadahiro Kenmura, as the game's chief developer, was still highly sought after by all sides.

When Xia Chuan arrived at the hotel where Kenmura Tadahiro was staying, he was surprised by the dense crowd of business headhunters in the lobby.

Fortunately, Xia Chuan's status was a factor, and after a staff member contacted Kenmura Tadahira, they obtained his consent. Upon arriving at Kenmura Tadahira's floor, they saw him standing at the door talking to a man with thick bangs.

"Tadaaki Kenmura, we already have a foundation for cooperation, and we look forward to your reply."

Judging from the man's tone, they must have just finished talking.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Xia Chuan noticed that Kenmura Tadahira's expression was very calm. As Nuo had predicted, this headhunter or lobbyist was probably going to leave empty-handed.

In fact, Xia Chuan also had a bit of an intention to recruit the other party.

But he can't give a suitable reason right now.

Perhaps it will work after he confronts Joel; right now, it's still a bit lacking.

After saying that, the man walked straight ahead without seeing Natsukawa, who was greeting Kenmura Tadahira behind him.

Once the other party entered the corner elevator, Xia Chuan said with a smile, "It seems that even if Mr. Kenmura leaves the Sindora Company, there will be countless people who want to recruit him. I see that the lobby downstairs is almost full."

“I’m also troubled by this,” Kenmura Tadahira said shamelessly, before welcoming Natsukawa inside.

Although the two had only known each other for a few days, in those few days, Kenmura Tadahira's biggest inner conflict was resolved.

If it weren't for Natsukawa, he might have induced Thomas to kill him, then had his college friend, Kudo Yusaku, solve the case, sacrificing his own life to get Thomas imprisoned, thus avenging himself.

Now that they have that incriminating evidence, Thomas Sindora's life is pretty much over. He'll be in prison in Japan, then in the US, and after that, other countries that have cooperated with him will invite him to prison to exchange experiences.

Of course, this is all predicated on Thomas Sindora being alive by then.

"Xia Chuan, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to avenge Hiroki."

"Mr. Kenmura, you're too kind. Life comes first. You're still Joel's uncle, and I don't want anything to happen to you."

Besides, Thomas Sindora is the president of Sindora Corporation, a leading IT company. If he continues to evade taxes and remain at large, who knows how serious the consequences will be for the world.

If it weren't for your help and Noah's Ark, countries would have lost a lot more money once it grew bigger and stronger.

I didn't get nothing in return; helping them added a significant highlight to my resume. You don't need to thank me.

Kenmura Tadahiro's lips twitched. As expected of a tax investigator, he kept elevating the actions of Sindora Corporation to a global level.

It has that IRS vibe.

—That's what he likes.

However, one thing that Xia Chuan just mentioned bothered him.

You mean Noah's Ark?

“Yes.” Xia Chuan asked curiously, “Wasn’t this something you two planned?”

Now that Noah's Ark has self-destructed, there's no way to verify anything, so whatever Xia Chuan says is the truth.

"I thought Mr. Kenmura and Noah's Ark had made an appointment long ago. When I arrived at Thomas Sindora's office, I simply turned on the computer, and all the criminal data was automatically downloaded to the computer."

"hehe."

Kenmura Tadahiro nodded awkwardly. Perhaps Noah's Ark had discovered his do-or-die plan, which was why he cooperated with Natsukawa.

As expected, Hiroki still cared about his father.

However, he disappointed Hiroki greatly.

He only realized the value of something after he lost it, but it was too late. Even Noah's Ark has now left him forever.

"By the way, when I was talking to Noah's Ark, I vaguely heard him mention 'that person.' Does Mr. Kenmura know who this person is?"

Judging from Noah's Ark's tone, that person seemed to be connected to the Sindora Corporation, and possibly involved with more illegal businesses, even a criminal organization we were investigating.

"What did you say?"

Kenmura Tadahiro suddenly paused, and the smile that had been on his face vanished instantly.

Xia Chuan could even feel that the temperature in the entire room had become somewhat stuffy.

As expected, Kenmura Tadahira knew who "that person" was!
“From Thomas Sindora’s computer, we found that he had a lot of money that had gone missing. These strange transfer records suddenly stopped two years ago, which puzzled me.”

In addition, an organization we are investigating also has funds that have gone unaccounted for, and they are using the exact same methods, so I'm thinking there might be a connection between them.

Xia Chuan's expression was solemn as he stared intently at Kenmura Tadahira. "If you know anything, please tell me. It's very important."

Xia Chuan was actually gambling.

Sindora is a large and powerful company, and its tax issues could be investigated within a day compared to two years ago.

Therefore, what he just said was all made up.

However, making things up isn't something that can be done casually; it requires at least a certain foundation.

For example, even before the press conference, Natsukawa had investigated how Hiroki Sawada and Thomas Sindora came to be connected.

The results are obvious.

—No results.
