Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 564 Gin's Confusion

Back in the room, Anya was sent to take a bath, while Xia Chuan and Yoel sat by the window talking.

"As expected, Karasuma Renya is actually the mastermind behind the brewery!" Joel said with a hostile look. "I wonder if today's events will reach the brewery. If Karasuma Renya knows about this letter, will he appear at the annex?"

"do not know."

Natsukawa wasn't really sure about Karasuma Renya's personality either.

This letter was left in 1913. Now, ninety years later, does Karasuma Renya still have feelings for his mother?

Moreover, while Karasuma Renya's mother appears to care about Karasuma Renya, she actually wants Karasuma Renya to lead the Karasuma family to continue its glory. How much affection did they originally have between them, and how much is left now?
"I think one letter isn't enough; we need to add more weight!"

"What do you mean?" Joel asked in confusion. "By the way, didn't you already know the secret of the villa? The appearance of this letter seems to have taken you by surprise."

Xia Chuan nodded and smiled wryly: "Yes, actually, in the beginning, I wanted to use another treasure to seduce Karasuma Renya."

Seeing Joel's questioning gaze, Xia Chuan had no intention of hiding it any longer. He smiled slightly, picked up the hammer Anya had picked up from somewhere, and walked to the window.

"Now, it's time to witness a miracle, so watch closely!"

Xia Chuan swung the hammer forcefully, and Joel's eyes widened. Before he could even feel sorry for his villa, the hammer had already slammed heavily against the wall outside the window!
What are you doing, knocking on the wall for no reason?

Joel stopped speaking abruptly, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide, unable to close.

Beneath the knocked-off plaster, a golden light shone under the moonlight.

—Sparkling and twinkling.

"What is this?"

"Didn't you already think of that?"

Taking advantage of Joel's stunned silence, Xia Chuan kissed him in one swift motion.

Joel's mind was already blank, and when Xia Chuan suddenly brought up this serious matter, his mind went completely blank. For a moment, all he could do was try to respond with his mouth.

After a while, when Anya made a sound from the bathroom, the two reluctantly parted.

Then we continued our conversation.

"Is this love?" Anya stood in front of the bathroom mirror washing her face.

Although they didn't see their father's conversation or Aunt Joel's actions, they could hear each other's thoughts.

blushing face—

"Father, Aunt Joel, I'm going to sleep."

Anya walked out of the bathroom with a serious expression, then obediently crawled into the bed.

“Strange, Anya is being unusually well-behaved today.”

Xia Chuan's lips twitched. He knew that Anya, who had the ability to read minds, could hear them no matter how softly they spoke.

It's a pity that Amuro Tooru's room is too far away, otherwise Natsukawa really wanted Anya to eavesdrop on what the two of them were thinking.

Amuro Tooru must have realized it too, right? There's a very high chance that Karasuma Renya is the boss of the brewery.

“He’s probably tired.” Xia Chuan gently touched Yoel’s cheek. “I’m confident I can lure out Karasuma Renya. Now we’ll see if he sets a trap and comes in person.”

“If he dares to come over, I’ll make sure he goes to see his mother!” Joel said bitterly.

Of all the people who could make her this angry, Natsukawa has only found Karasuma Renya.

The death of Tadahiro Kenmura certainly had a significant impact.

On the other side, Gin leaned against a large tree, frowning at the muddy, damp environment. He had lost count of how many times he had stubbed out his cigarette against the tree.

Beside him, Calvados sat in the car with the window open, staring intently at Gin as if he were monitoring him, but this monitoring was far too obvious.

Perhaps he had no intention of backing down, because within the organization, everyone knew he disliked Gin, including Vermouth.

Even so, he was still assigned to be Gin's partner.

Since the second time he hung up the phone, Gin has been silently smoking, and half an hour has passed since then.

What was he thinking?

Calvados asked himself this question, then directly asked it aloud: "How much longer are we going to wait here? Haven't Vodka and Bourbon succeeded yet? Let's just go over there, kill them all, and the treasure will be the organization's."

Gin glanced at Calvados, his impatience and murderous intent evident in his eyes.

Calvados remained silent, and casually rolled up the car window.

In a one-on-one fight, he was no match for Gin.
After a long while, Calvados finally saw Gin take out his phone through the car window.

When the call connected, in the dim moonlight, I could vaguely see Gin's lips moving as he uttered the word "BOSS".

That's how it is.

Gin relayed everything that Vodka had reported over the two phone calls to the boss.

This was the first time he had ever felt lost and helpless, unsure of what he should do.

"Yeah."

The voice coming from the other end of the phone was an old male voice, different from the usual electronic one.

Even without seeing the person, you can feel the weakness in their voice, as if they can't breathe. The words "weak and feeble" and "on the verge of death" are the most appropriate descriptions.

"So that's what happened. So the secret those good-for-nothings mentioned forty years ago was? They didn't completely solve the riddle and instead took a detour. I regretted it for years."

"So what should we do next? Should we let Bourbon and Vodka kill those people, and then we can go in and uncover the secrets behind it ourselves?"

"Based on my understanding of her, it seems that there is indeed a great treasure hidden in the villa. I wish I hadn't sold it."

After saying so much all at once, the boss seemed a little out of breath. He paused for a long time, as if he was thinking or adjusting his breathing.

I don't know how much time passed before I spoke again.

“I’ll come and take a look. I want to see that letter and that treasure. The organization is short of funds in all aspects right now, and the supporters seem to be getting impatient. This should be a turning point.”

"cough cough"

"My lord, if it is not possible, please do not force yourself."

Gin's eyes showed a rare hint of concern, an expression that Calvados could hardly believe his eyes.

He couldn't hear what the other person was saying, but that kind of look shouldn't be on Gin's face.

"No matter what, I want to see it."

“Oh, right, I found something else.” Gin suddenly changed the subject. “After Vodka and Bourbon went to the Twilight Villa, I had Tequila check the villa’s owner information and found that the property rights had just changed recently.”

"Oh?" Karasuma Renya became interested.

"The ownership of Twilight Villa has now been transferred to Natsukawa, the person I told you about. His girlfriend thwarted our plans twice before, and this time he discovered Kitano Yujin's identity at the Metropolitan Police Department. I find him very strange."

Upon closer investigation, I discovered he was a special investigator for the Japanese National Tax Service, and had been with the company for less than a year. As for his background before coming to Japan, there was nothing; it was a complete blank, as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
