Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 570 Wakasa Rumi
"Ok?"

The woman paused for a moment, then looked at me with a puzzled expression and said, "This isn't an isolated island. Even if it's a mountain, there wouldn't be only one entrance. I didn't go up the mountain via the suspension bridge."

As she spoke, she gestured with the backpack on her back. "I'm an outdoor rock climbing enthusiast. I came up via a small trail, and this is my equipment."

"Do you still remember the way? Can you lead us there?" Hakuba Saguru pressed.

"Didn't I tell you?" The woman frowned, giving me a look that seemed to say, "Are you deaf?" "I got lost, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"Seriously, there's a building in such a desolate place. At first, I thought I was hallucinating."

"Father."

After a brief murmur, Xia Chuan stepped forward and broke the deadlock: "Something bad just happened here. We shouldn't be letting others stay, but we can't just stand by and watch them die."

"However, there is one condition before you can settle in."

"What conditions?"

Upon hearing this, the three detectives present all narrowed their eyes.

A normal person would ask in this situation: What happened?

Without hesitation, the other party asked about the conditions, either because they knew about the situation here, or because they had some reason for being eager to stay!

"Can you be a little more shameless?"

Xia Chuan looked at the others: "There are some things we have to be wary of. This is the best way to prevent this woman from being Ishihara who has changed her appearance and returned."

Kaito quickly chimed in, "Yes, if there's no problem, we really can't leave this lady outside; that would be rather inhumane."

"Although I don't know what you're talking about, it's not like I can't be a little cheeky. But don't get any ideas, I do know a little bit of self-defense."

As she spoke, she glanced warily at the crowd, as if they would have thought they were lecherous men lusting after her beauty if it weren't for Anya and Conan's presence.

Xia Chuan pursed his lips, thinking to himself that he really wouldn't dare to have any improper thoughts about her.

Anya just told him that this woman's name is Rachel Asaka.

Xia Chuan had no recollection of the surname Rachel, but he was very familiar with the name Asaka.

Regardless of the original storyline, the name Asaka was once very famous in the American bodyguard profession.

If it weren't for her, Amanda Hughes, that capitalist, would have died countless times in assassinations.

Although Amanda Hughes eventually died, Asaka's existence delayed the event by many years.

Adding to the fact that Asaka brutally beat Amuro Tooru in the basement during the storyline, Natsukawa felt that she had no advantage in a fight with him.

For a moment, Xia Chuan even wondered if the other party might also be a product of "scholars".

However, this thought only lasted for a moment.

Asaka's past can be traced, and she was already in her twenties seventeen years ago. Based on the time when Kenmura Tadahira was adopted, the scholars' research should not have started when Asaka was born.

"Hello, my name is Wakasa Rumi."

Wakasa Rumi walked up to Hakuba Saguru and stood there, staring at him.

Hakuba Saguru was stunned for a moment before reaching out and tugging at the other's cheek.

"A realistic touch, not a disguise."

Vodka breathed a sigh of relief, but still had some doubts, even suspecting that Wakasa Rumi was the same Ishihara from before, and this time it was her real face.

However, Amuro Tooru didn't say anything, and the others seemed to accept it, so it seemed a bit inappropriate for him to step forward at this time.

"I need to check the contents of my backpack."

Vodka discreetly tucked the pistol into his lower back.

Rumi Wakasa glanced around and noticed Vodka's movements, but she quickly took off her backpack and handed it to Vodka.

Inside, there were indeed only climbing gear, food, and water. "By the way, what's with this annex?"

"I found this place because I heard the sound and saw the dazzling golden light."

“This is all gold.” Amuro Tooru stared into Wakasa Rumi’s eyes. “Didn’t you see it?”

Rumi Wakasa shook her head: "I don't know."

She noticed it, but didn't care; compared to her own goals, nothing else mattered.

When Joel finished cooking a meal, he suddenly realized there was an extra person, and he didn't react for a moment.

Only after Xia Chuan explained did she nod in understanding.

Xia Chuan did not tell Joel the other party's identity, but only told her to be a little careful.

Asaka claims to be a Red Label, but that's not true; he claims to be a Black Label, but he has a deep-seated grudge against Rum and loathes the distillery.

Since seventeen years ago, Asaka's purpose in life has been revenge.

Returning to his senses, Xia Chuan looked down at the food on the table and thought to himself: I wonder what will happen if Wakasa Rumi eats this.

"Hey, Uncle Mogi, why aren't you eating?"

Conan's innocent childlike voice rang in Amuro Tooru's ears.

Amuro Tooru raised an eyebrow but didn't touch his chopsticks.

He wasn't unaware of Conan and Natsukawa's little schemes before. Although he didn't know what was hidden in the food, he figured it was best not to eat it.

"Never mind, I'm not that hungry. I'm more concerned about my situation right now."

Amuro Tooru shook his head, then looked at the vodka.

Vodka had just picked up his chopsticks when he was looked at like that, paused for a moment, and then put them down.

I'm not hungry either.

Kaito scratched the back of his head and laughed loudly, "I'm not eating. I'll save some room for drinking later. I found a nice bottle of red wine in the cellar of the annex."

"You've gone too far. Miss Joel went to the trouble of cooking dinner, and nobody's going to eat it. Why didn't you refuse in the first place?"

Hakuba Saguru looked indignant and picked up his knife and fork to put a mouthful of spaghetti into his mouth.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Hakuba Saguru was utterly puzzled. What was with that inquisitive, curious, and gloating expression?

This thought only lasted for a moment.

Because, the next moment, his mind went completely black, and he had no idea what happened next.

"boom!"

Rumi Wakasa didn't intend to eat the food Yoel had made. She had just taken out the food from her backpack when she heard a sound, and the table shook violently.

"???"

Hakuba Saguru was still holding a knife and fork when he slammed his face into the spaghetti, his elegant and handsome profile revealing a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

The same expression appeared in Wakasa Rumi's eyes; she didn't quite understand Hakuba Saguru's situation.

Although I didn't eat it, I couldn't tell anything wrong from these dishes.

Moreover, the man named Xia Chuan seemed to have taken a bite as well.

It was just a small bite, but it should be fine.
"what happened to him?"

No one answered. Only Joel, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, scratched his head and muttered, "Looks like it still won't work."
