Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 572 The calm before the storm

"Don't worry, Vodka and Bourbon are here too, aren't they?"

Kiel also noticed that ever since entering this area, she had been hearing a constant static sound in her earpiece, which prevented her from contacting the CIA.

“So, what are our tactics?” Curaçao asked.

Gin was clearly taken aback; he hadn't really considered the tactical aspect.

Perhaps they don't even need any tactics.

In the face of absolute power, everything else is meaningless.

While Joel's combat strength is formidable, Xia Chuan and his daughter present a good opportunity for a breakthrough.

Including other people at the scene, including the son of the Metropolitan Police Department's Superintendent General, Joel, as a police officer, had a duty to protect the Superintendent General's son.

This creates many obstacles, especially with Vodka and Bourbon acting as inside agents, and Vermouth lurking in the shadows.

Such an advantage means the plan will only influence everyone's actions.

"Go ahead and do your own thing. Pay attention to that woman named Joel. The others are not difficult for you."

“No problem.” Alarc pulled out a photo from somewhere: “It’s a pity that such a beautiful girl already has a boyfriend who is also an enemy of the organization, otherwise I would definitely have a romantic date with her.”

The Twilight Villa was in the final calm before the storm.

Xia Chuan was using the supplies in the annex to set up some simple traps.

For the distillery, the effect may be very small, but it's better to have something than nothing.

Frank must be making arrangements since he can't get in touch with me.

What will Frank do?

Xia Chuan pondered Frank's thoughts.

As brothers for over twenty years, Frank would probably use any means of contact he could think of.

Delivering supplies by helicopter is clearly impractical, and such an action would undoubtedly alert the enemy.

Frank wouldn't come to the Twilight Villa on his own. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have the ability. He's not like Rumi Wakasa.

In other aspects, communication was mostly done via signal, but now there is no signal.
After pondering for a long time, Xia Chuan silently went to the top of the clock tower alone to observe from the top floor.

At this stage, Frank should be on the same page as him, and if I'm not mistaken, we should be able to see something here.

About half an hour later, Xia Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

This was truly a pleasant surprise.

As expected, Frank did not disappoint him; their thoughts aligned.

A flash of light shone from a very distant mountain and flickered before his eyes.

"Sure enough, Frank has been trying to contact me all along."

Xia Chuan smiled slightly.

The flashing lights disappeared after about ten minutes, and Xia Chuan understood what Frank meant.

This strobe light wasn't Morse code, but rather a secret code between him and Frank.

From the coded message, Xia Chuan learned the identity of the black Mercedes and the current situation of the Twilight Villa area.

From the moment his headphones malfunctioned, the entire mountainous area gradually fell into a state of signal blockage. By dusk, when the villa was revealed, this signal blockage covered the entire area.

However, the external surveillance cameras were not damaged, and Frank captured two instances of people entering the mountainous area.

The first one was Wakasa Rumi, who was Asaka, who had a feud with the brewery seventeen years ago.

The second incident occurred half an hour earlier, involving four men in black on motorcycles.

Because they were wearing helmets and it was too dark, it was impossible to identify who they were, but it was undoubtedly a member of the brewery.

As for Karasuma Renya...
This guy is a real dog; he still hasn't gotten out of the car, and it seems to have moved to a new location. Plus, with the signal jamming, it's impossible to lock onto him. This situation is somewhat frustrating for Natsukawa, but at least Karasuma Renya has shown himself.

Unfortunately, there is only one Twilight Villa.

In addition, Frank also provided a solution regarding weapons, ammunition, and personnel support.

Xia Chuan can fire the signal gun he carries to notify him.

Then a mercenary squad will arrive at Twilight Villa directly by helicopter.

This plan actually existed from the beginning, but Xia Chuan had no intention of using it.

In this way, Karasuma Renya completely missed out on him.

Even now, the chances are slim, but he has to try.
Xia Chuan sighed, burying his helplessness deep inside. This was his only chance; he would give it a try.

Everyone seemed to sense the calm before the storm; the living room was deserted, and everyone was in their own rooms.

In any case, there should be some explanation left tonight.

Rumi Wakasa sat on the edge of the bed, holding the shogi piece in her hand. In a daze, she thought of the boy who had fallen in love with her at first sight.

As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.

"Koji Haneda."

"It's only been such a short time, yet you were willing to give your life for me."

Wakasa Rumi gripped the shogi piece tightly in her hand, as if she wanted to make it completely melt into her palm.

"Whether it's Rum, Karasuma Renya, or Gin and his ilk, let's settle this once and for all today!"

She wasn't very clear about the situation inside the villa, and it all felt strange, but that didn't affect her determination.

She didn't care about Hakuba Saguru's fainting spell, nor did she care about Natsukawa, Kogoro Mouri, or Yoshun Mogi.

Back in the room, Joel was explaining safety matters to Anya.

“Aunt Joel, Anya understands. You are not allowed to leave your side, and you are not allowed to get close to anyone, not even Uncle Kogoro or Conan. You must wear the bulletproof vest and not take it off. You cannot speak carelessly tonight. If you encounter danger and Father and Aunt Joel are not around, you must find a corner to hide in and not make a sound.”

Anya recounted Aunt Yor's instructions, her head throbbing.

Many requirements.

“I just contacted Frank. A lot of people from the distillery have arrived, and they all seem to be codenamed members. We can’t confirm Karasuma Renya’s whereabouts because of signal jamming.”

"is it?"

Joel was slightly disappointed, but quickly cheered up: "They've deployed so many codenamed members; tonight will be another tough battle."

"To be honest, I'm still quite worried about that Wakasa Rumi."

“I noticed just now that she doesn’t seem interested in the gold in the annex.”

"Could it be a different group?"

Xia Chuan nodded and said, "The number of people killed by the winery organization is countless, and there are many who want to take action against them."

Joel lowered his head and touched Anya's cheek, smiling as he said, "In short, Anya, you'll always stay by my or your father's side."

"Ania understands, I will be careful."

Anya nodded vigorously, then looked at her father.

She will stay by her father's side tonight.

With her around, Father should be much more comfortable, at least he can know what his opponents are thinking in advance.

Anticipating the enemy's moves is always a crucial factor in winning a battle.

This is what the spy Bonderman told her!
