Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 554 The day for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet is approaching
"The elixir of immortality has actually existed for a long time?" Joel murmured, deeply shocked.

Could such a drug really have been developed with the research technology of that era, thirty or forty years ago?
Ai Haibara continued, "And it is precisely because of the successful cases that the boss of the brewery strictly requires that the amount of the main ingredients can only be adjusted, not removed."

The boss may have taken a drug similar to APTX4869, so if it is Karasuma Renya, although he may be nearly 150 years old now, he does have a chance of being alive.

150 years old
This is a truly startling number.

If it were a long-lived tortoise or a tardigrade, it might be a simple matter, but in this era where the average lifespan is less than eighty years, it's unthinkable.

Joel couldn't help but look at Ai Haibara with new respect. As expected of a Conan scholar, she was not only creative but also had a rich imagination.

Moreover, this idea was presented in a very logical and reasonable manner.

"You've changed from being eighteen to looking like you're six or seven years old now, and Conan has changed too. So how old will Karasuma Renya be?"

Joel immediately thought of this question.

Assuming Karasuma Renya may have taken this drug thirty or forty years ago, how old would he be now?

"do not know."

Ai Haibara had lost count of how many times she had shaken her head today. She didn't have Conan's strong reasoning ability, and could only make rough guesses about some information, and she wasn't even very confident about it herself.

"My age and circumstances are not much different from Kudo's, so I became a first-grade elementary school student. However, when Karasuma Renya took this drug, he was at least a three-digit age, which is too different from us. Without other experimental data, I cannot make a judgment."

Ai Haibara felt a little regretful. If only she could contact Tequila and ask him how old his friend who had been shrunk was originally and how old he looks now.

With other ages as a reference, she can make certain inferences.

"gone."

Xia Chuan waved from below.

Back in the car.

"What did the seller say?"

"Money makes things easier, and we can sign the contract right away, but the other party has a strange request."

"A strange request?"

"Yes, it means that after the house is transferred, he still needs to use the house for a few more days."

Xia Chuan certainly knew what Da Shang Zhu Shan was going to do with these few days, but as long as the contract was signed, why not agree to it? Putting aside the fact that the other party was about to die, even if they found the gold, so what? As long as the contract was signed, unless the other party could run away with the villa, all of this would be his.

“Strange fellow,” Joel shook his head.

After returning to Tokyo, Natsukawa and Yoru went to the rooftop of their home.

"Since this villa is related to the winery, why did you buy it?"

Although he really wanted to find the winery, Joel was also worried that Natsukawa's actions might put him in danger.

Natsukawa was originally well hidden, but because of Uncle Kenmura and the Sindora Company, he has probably now come into Gin's sights.

Furthermore, this incident led to the death of Hideji Kobayashi, thus solidifying the grudge between them.

All things considered, apart from Yuri and Anya who have no connection to the brewery, the other three members of the family all have a grudge against it.

Strangely, there had been no movement from the distillery for the past few days, and she was worried that Gin was plotting something to wipe them out.

"Kohayashi Hideji is connected to the brewery. The Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department are taking this matter very seriously. The brewery will definitely not dare to take any other actions in the short term."

Once the storm has passed, they will inevitably take action.

Being passive isn't in my nature; I'm still trying to find a way to lure them out.

There's something Natsukawa didn't say.

That's the boss.

This was also a test of Karasuma Renya by the master.

As for Amuro Tooru, the other party should have already tested Karasuma Renya regarding what he mentioned earlier.

Try to use the Twilight Villa as an excuse to escalate the situation and see if you can lure the other party to Nagano Prefecture as well.

Frank has already begun planting spies in Nagano. Additionally, special surveillance equipment is being deployed in the mountainous region where the Twilight Villa is located, all in an effort to find Karasuma Renya's trail.

He refused to believe that Karasuma Renya would be able to tolerate someone so easily acquiring a villa worth hundreds of billions.

He had previously suspected that the Twilight Villa only had a thin layer of gold leaf, worth at most a few hundred billion, but after personally visiting the site today and peeling off a piece of the wall, he realized that the gold inside the wall was at least three or four millimeters thick.

This thickness sounds thin, but you have to understand, it's a villa that occupies three acres of land!

It must be worth several hundred billion.

"You did such a dangerous thing for my sake."

"We're all family, so let's not be formal. Besides, I've taken on an assignment from the IRS, and we'll have to face these things eventually. Isn't it better to face them together?"

Before they knew it, the two had become deeply in love again.

When a woman needs you most, your appearance is like the Monkey King descending from the heavens on a colorful cloud.

Now, in Yole's eyes, Xia Chuan is like the Monkey King.

"I have something to tell you after this is over."

Joel's expression turned serious, her eyes reflecting Xia Chuan's image, and her heart slowly filled with emotion.

"What a coincidence, we really are on the same wavelength. I also have something to tell you then."

Xia Chuan stretched, in a good mood, looked up at the stars, and said with a smile, "Look, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet is coming soon."

"Hate."

Joel, of course, understood the meaning behind Xia Chuan's words, and couldn't help but shyly punch Xia Chuan.

"Crack!"

"."×2
"I'm sorry, Xia Chuan, I didn't mean to."

Joel was extremely anxious and wanted to check on Xia Chuan, but as anyone who frequently kills people knows, a killer who has never failed in a murder case would never know the tricks of a healer.

Xia Chuan initially thought it was just a misalignment, but after being tormented by Joel's subsequent actions, he felt it was probably a dislocation.

But he still had to put on a smile.

Because Joel meant well.

"what happened?"

Ai Haibara looked at Natsukawa, who was covering his hands as he came down from the rooftop, with a puzzled expression.

Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be having a good talk, but why does Xia Chuan look like that?

Is it dislocated?

"It's nothing, I just twisted my arm by accident."

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at Natsukawa. She'd heard of sprained ankles before, but this was the first time she'd heard of sprained arms. Was he walking upside down?

What kind of bull-horse posture is that?

"Father, when can we move into that big villa?"

Even though she knew that Xia Chuan's purpose was to lure out the winery and that staying at the Twilight Villa was very dangerous, Anya believed that with Aunt Yole and her father there, there was nothing that couldn't be solved.

Even if all else fails, there's still her and Bond.

What's there to be afraid of if you know in advance?
Oh right, I seem to have forgotten to tell my father about Bond's abilities.

Anya gave her an apologetic look.

Forget it, let's wait until later. If she says it now, her father will definitely be speechless.

But if she waited until danger arrived to tell her father, he would only think that she was offering help in his time of need.

Anya is such a clever little devil.
