Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 57 Love at First Sight? No, you're just lusting after his body.

The backstage meeting room of a cocktail bar.

"Vodka, you've had so much to drink, why don't you take off your sunglasses?"

Even though things had come to this point, Vodka still refused to take off his sunglasses and slap away Xia Chuan's outstretched hand.

Okay, that's confirmed, the sunglasses are the real thing.

Gin always wears a hat, and vodka never takes off his sunglasses.

He drank a lot of vodka; this guy must have been really pent up. He also drank a whole bottle of gin mixed with vodka.

Xia Chuan sat to one side, deep in thought. This guy truly loved Gin; he would drink Gin even when drinking alcohol.

He has a good tolerance for vodka and his drinking habits are also decent.

Xia Chuan had hoped to get some information out of him after getting him drunk, but after getting vodka drunk, he was surprisingly quiet. He silently turned on the TV in the monitoring room, sat up straight, and watched Yoko Okino's program recording intently.

I never expected there would be a television hidden inside the monitoring room.

It seems that Vodka often secretly watches Yoko Okino's shows in the monitoring room, and there are several videotapes hidden behind the TV.

This was also the first time Xia Chuan had witnessed the charm of Yoko Okino. From ordinary people to government officials, police officers, and yakuza gangs, Yoko Okino's fans were all over Japan.

Even vodka is captivated by her; what kind of charm does she possess?
However, he did not come away empty-handed.

Although they didn't get any crucial intelligence from him, they managed to glean a considerable amount of basic information indirectly.

For example, temporary and permanent locations of breweries within the Tokyo area;
For example, Gin also has a Porsche with a fake license plate in another city;

For example, Piscoe has three goddaughters in Tokyo;
For example, Akemi Miyano has already gone to Beika Bank to infiltrate.

There were some outside of Tokyo, but by the time Vodka mentioned them, he was already slurring his words and it was completely unintelligible.

The most regrettable thing is that we were unable to find out where Sulli was.

However, according to Vodka, Tequila knew where the research institute was located.

Xia Chuan:.
This is a bit embarrassing.

However, this also proves that Tequila has a decent status in the organization; at least she's not some clueless little carami.

Now all he can confirm is that the research institute is in Beika Town, since Sherry, who shrunk, collapsed in front of the Kudo family's house after escaping from the research institute.

How far can a child run? So it should be near Beika Town.

The Kudo family lives in 2-chome, so Sherry is most likely in Beika-cho 1-3-chome. If we expand the scope further, the area near Beika in Beika is also a possibility.

Going any further is unrealistic; how far can a little darling with a high fever run on a rainy day?

When Xia Chuan left, Vodka had already collapsed and was fast asleep. Compared to Tequila, who maintained a certain level of sobriety despite his alcohol poisoning before his death, Vodka was slightly less so.

After throwing the other person onto the conference table, Xia Chuan left the cocktail bar.

The information we got from vodka is sufficient for now.

Now at least there won't be that awkward situation where vodka tells him where to go and he can't find it.

As for whether the specific locations of these outposts should be handed over to the IRS? Of course not.

Tokyo is Gin's main base in Japan. There might be some problems there, but if everything is exposed, it will definitely ruin the plot. His impersonation of Tequila will also likely be discovered.

This was not the result he wanted to see.

the next day.

Because Anya wasn't home, Xia Chuan was spared the task of making breakfast and slept until noon before being woken up by Anya's noise.

"He's back."

Xia Chuan, dressed in pajama bottoms and a short-sleeved shirt, rubbed his eyes and came into the living room.

“Father!” Anya was clearly in a good mood, so happy that she hugged Xia Chuan’s leg and couldn’t shake him off.

“Mr. Xia Chuan.” Joel, who was sitting upright on the sofa, immediately stood up to greet Xia Chuan when he saw him.

She placed her hands folded below her abdomen, and her polite and gentle smile immediately cheered Xia Chuan up.

Has Miss Joel arrived?
Xia Chuan's body stiffened, and he rushed back to his bedroom upstairs like the wind. In less than ten seconds, he was dressed in formal attire and sitting on the sofa. He had been extremely rude just now.

Anya was dumbfounded. She had only heard Conan mention this speed before, saying that Mr. Mori would only go this fast when he saw a beautiful woman.

"You're back! Was the World's Number One Night Festival fun?"

"Fun."

Anya answered quickly and took out a Saitama Prefecture specialty from her small bag.

“Father, these are specialties that Anya and Aunt Yor brought back for you.”

They even brought me local specialties?
Xia Chuan nodded in satisfaction, looking expectantly at the local specialty in Anya's hand.

"What is this?"

Xia Chuan took the ears of wheat and leaves from Anya's hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "Specialty products?"

"The purpose of the First Night Festival in the World is to pray for a bountiful harvest in the fields. These ears of wheat are auspicious symbols of harvest and happiness after the night festival."

After listening to Yor's explanation, Xia Chuan nodded, not expecting that these small ears of wheat would be given folk significance.

I held it to my nose and smelled it; it had a faint wheat aroma.

Where are the leaves?

"Leaves?"

Joel's eyes widened, a question mark appearing above her head as she looked at Anya. She didn't remember bringing any leaves or anything like that.

“Maybe I accidentally put it in my pocket.” Anya scratched her head, but then immediately thought of a reason: “These are leaves from the mountains of Saitama Prefecture. I can keep them as a souvenir.”

"I see."

Xia Chuan's expression was strange; he had actually participated in the night festival.

"Didn't you encounter any cases when you went out with Uncle Mori and the others?"

Xia Chuan felt that the script should involve the player being interrupted by a case midway through the game, thus ending the trip early and starting the investigation.

"case?"

Joel put his finger to his lips and thought for a long time before saying, "It seems so, but when we first arrived at the scene, Anya pulled me and Xiaolan apart. When we got back to the hotel, we heard from them that a case had occurred, but by the time we got back, the case had already been solved."

"That's it."

He knew it! If the Grim Reapers didn't cause a case when they went out, wouldn't that be a disservice to their names? It turns out that Joel and Anya just happened to escape.

"But speaking of which, Miss Joel, thank you very much for accompanying Anya on this trip."

"No, Anya is so cute, I like her too. Besides, I'm on vacation, so it's okay."

Joel answered, blushing slightly.

Before returning home this morning, she made a special phone call to chat with Yumi Miyamoto from the traffic department for a long time.

After chatting for a while, Yumi told her that this was not love at first sight.

While I breathed a sigh of relief, I was also shocked by Yumi's last words: Love at first sight? No, you're just lusting after his body.

So, I'm lusting after Mr. Natsukawa's body?
These thoughts swirled in his mind, and the blush on Joel's face deepened.

"Do you have a fever?"

The back of his slender fingers pressed against Joel's forehead, pausing for a few seconds before moving away.

Her face was very red, but it didn't seem like she had a fever, though it was undeniable that her face felt hot.

"N-nothing!" Joel waved his hand quickly, looking somewhat flustered.

What are you doing?
