Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 559 I have absolutely no interest in the treasure.

Xia Chuan and Yoel returned to their room.

For safety reasons, the family of three shared a room, with Anya sandwiched in the middle.

"I feel that the man named Mogi Yoshun is a bit strange, and the burly man next to him, although he doesn't talk much and keeps a low profile, I can still feel a trace of murderous intent from him."

"They are indeed very likely members of the distillery. They probably received the information I released and then impersonated others to come and check the situation."

"Will this really lure Gin out?"

Joel clearly cares about this.

Natsukawa shook his head: "It's not confirmed now, but if the mystery is solved, it will definitely lead to Gin, and maybe even Karasuma Renya, who is very likely the boss of the brewery."

"Karasuma Renya, is she really still alive?"

"There is no concrete evidence yet, but he is the most suspicious person. When I was on Mermaid Island, an informant saw his name on the list of attendees at the Mermaid Island meeting."

"If Conan can shrink, why can't Karasuma Renya live forever?"

At this point, Xia Chuan suddenly paused, then said, "Sorry, I didn't tell you that Conan's real identity is actually the famous detective Shinichi Kudo. The reason he became the way he is now is because Gin gave him some kind of drug."

"what!?"

"Oh, really? That's amazing."

Joel seemed somewhat bewildered, but showed no surprise whatsoever.

The expression he's making now is the kind that anyone could tell he's faking.

"Yes, I also find it amazing."

The two were in an awkward situation.

The sudden vibration of his phone broke the awkward silence. Xia Chuan took out his phone to answer a call, then put it down and pondered for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Joel asked.

Natsukawa frowned and replied, "Chima Furuyo is dead."

"died?"

"Yes, Frank's men found it during their patrol. It must have been dead for a while."

"Does this prove that Gin has arrived and is clearing out suspicious individuals in the vicinity? Should you have your men move away first?"

"I heard he was hit hard. If it were Gin, he should have been shot."

Xia Chuan shook his head. "Let's wait a bit longer. The distillery never acts until they see results. The fact that it changed hands several times after Karasuma Renya's failure forty years ago speaks volumes. They'll definitely wait for Conan and the others to come up with their results first."

"Ah."

Conan, unaware that he had become a pawn, was staring at Anya in astonishment.

"Ania, why are you so familiar with this place?"

"Huh?" Anya scratched her head: "Because I just know."

"Have you already been here before?" Conan muttered under his breath. "Otherwise, how would you know the layout of this place? And from the beginning, you went straight to the central courtyard. How would you know there was a fountain here?"

Conan's barrage of questions caught Anya off guard; these were things she hadn't considered before.

In fact, Conan already had a guess: Natsukawa must have secretly found out something again.

Unlike Uncle Kogoro, Natsukawa has extensive connections and resources, and it's very likely that he obtained the architectural blueprints for the annex before today.

He said he wasn't interested in the mystery, but now he's probably leading the strongest fighters from the villa around looking for clues.

“No.” Anya shook her head. As long as she didn’t admit it, Conan couldn’t do anything about it.

Father said that Conan shouldn't know about this yet, and that he should focus on his work.

No, it's not exactly working. Conan has his own needs, and his father is helping him.

"Solve the case well, and I'll treat you to peanuts when we get back." Anya nodded to herself, then walked out of the room with her hands behind her back.

Conan was exasperated, but he was also at a loss for what to do with Anya.

"Where are you going?"

Conan peeked out to ask questions, but Anya walked further and further away by herself. Conan was afraid that Anya might encounter the person behind the scenes.

"Ania, let's go for a walk. It's too boring here."

Anya wasn't afraid at all. She already knew that Oogami Shuzen was the mastermind, and that Senma Kazuyo wouldn't be able to arrive anytime soon. Amuro Tooru and Vodka were always with Conan and the others, so she was safe inside the villa.

"After you finish your investigation, I'll come back and eavesdrop on your thoughts, then tell my father."

Anya was feeling quite pleased with herself when she suddenly felt something blocking her way.

"Eh?"

Anya looked up in confusion: "Ishihara-neechan, is there something you need?"

The little girl blinked her eyes, looking incredibly innocent and adorable. Her cute, innocent face made you want to hug her and rub her cheeks against her.

"Ania, don't run around."

Ishihara smiled, squatted down, and handed him a cup of cocoa. "Here, this is the cocoa you wanted."

"I know~"

Anya casually brushed it off, took the Cocoa, and ran off on her short legs.

"Strange sister, you scared me half to death." Anya found a hammer and two sharp metal tools from somewhere to use as chisels, and excitedly searched for something.

"The outside is gold, but I don't know if the inside is."

Knowing that their family's mansion is actually a golden palace would excite any child.

Therefore, gripping her hammer and chisel, Anya immediately began searching for a suitable room to prepare for digging the foundation.

Finally, she stopped in front of a piano room. "Huh?"

"Perhaps Anya should take down these intrusive surveillance cameras before confirming how much gold is in the house."

Upon discovering the hidden camera in the art lamp, Anya put her hands on her hips and quickly came up with a solution.

A dozen minutes later, Anya appeared in a long corridor pushing a small cart.

A tool ladder was placed on the small cart.

"The location in Da Shang Zhu Shan's mind where he checked the surveillance footage seems to be this place."

Anya climbed up the tool ladder and groped around for a while before quickly finding the gap in the ceiling and opening it.

After Anya struggled to climb up, she was greeted by a room filled with surveillance cameras.

From the screen full of images, it was quickly discovered that Conan and his friends were searching for clues in a room on the second floor.

Before long, the surveillance camera was identified and crushed.

On the other side, the maid Ishihara stood on the kitchen window sill, her back to the monitor, seemingly looking at the weather or the scenery outside.

She couldn't find her father and Aunt Joel in these rooms. Many screens had already gone black, and Anya guessed that her father and mother were in these rooms with black screens.

"Hehe, break them all, break them all! When Da Shang Zhu Shan comes back to check, he'll be in for a big surprise!"

Holding a pair of garden trimmers half a person's height in his hand, he snipped at the corner signal cable with a sharp sound.

"Comfortable!"

All monitors simultaneously went black, displaying a "no signal" indicator.

"Hehehe, this should make Father's plan easier."

After doing all this, Anya nodded in satisfaction and then put the tools back in the tool shed.

When they returned to the piano room, they found Conan and his friends standing inside.

The white horse scout was still holding a brownish-yellow piece of paper in his hand, which looked like it was missing a corner.

"It seems the riddle provided by the person behind the scenes has existed for decades," Amuro Tooru commented.

"I think we shouldn't bother looking for any secrets. It would be much simpler to just find the so-called mastermind."

Vodka remained expressionless, fiddling with his middle-parted hair with one hand and drawing a pistol from his waist with the other.

The middle parting is annoying; it's affecting my sunglasses a bit.

The pistol was not the one he was carrying; it was found in the room he shared with Amuro Tooru.

The pistol was placed under the pillow; there was one under the pillow on both beds. It was clearly the work of the person behind it all.

Even someone as intelligent as Vodka would know that the pistol's existence was intended to cause these detectives to kill each other over the treasure.

"A pistol?" Ikumi Gunda frowned, a miniature revolver appearing in her hand as she began to play with it. "Looks like everyone has one in their room."

"What is his purpose?" Hakuba Saguru pulled out a dark Colt. "Does he think we'll fight each other over the treasure, like the story he just told us about forty years ago?"

Hakuba Saguru couldn't help but laugh out loud: "He underestimates me. I have no interest in treasure at all. I just want to solve the mystery."

"Brother White Horse is such a show-off."

Anya gave him a deadpan look. When the annex finally revealed its true form at dusk, would Hakuba Saguru still have the same expression?
“This is what a detective should be like.” Daisho nods in agreement.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, he seems to enjoy hearing these words, so let's hurry up and find him.

He searched for two years but couldn't find it.

He couldn't even decipher the first sentence.

There was no place in the entire villa where two people could appear at the same time.

He had considered other things, such as chopsticks, or two medieval suits of armor standing opposite each other in the hall.

However, that's not the case; these things have nothing to do with each other.

The second part, he and Senma Kazuyo considered playing cards, but there were no clues on the playing cards in the annex, except for the Karasuma family's crow logo.

"The person behind this isn't so easy to find. We'd better solve the current mystery first. I think we should split up and search faster. There are too many rooms here."

Gunda Ikumi frowned and glanced outside. After an hour, they hadn't checked much of the entire corridor. In addition, they needed to cut the surveillance footage, so it would be best to split up.

“That’s right. Let’s split into two teams and speed things up.” Hakuba Saguru and Ogami Shuzen nodded slightly and followed.

Suddenly, only Kogoro Mouri, Conan, and Tooru Amuro remained in the room.

Oh, and there's Anya with a curious expression.

"Hey, there seem to be words here."

Anya suddenly walked over to the piano and pointed to the water stains on the thick piano board.

A bottle of Lumilo spray was also placed on the ground.

Amuro Tooru raised an eyebrow, recalling that Ikumi Gunta had indeed been crouching in this corner for a while.

Did they discover something?

"Uozuka Saburo, turn off the light."

"Hmm?" Vodka pointed to himself.

"Of course I'm calling you."

Amuro Tooru sighed helplessly. Vodka was just a bit slow on the uptake. His sudden action of pulling out a gun just now directly caused the other three to split up with them. Now, when asked to turn on a light, he actually acted arrogantly.
