Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 573 The Winery Takes Action!

As time passed, the twilight villa became increasingly quiet.

Sometime during the day, a grappling hook became attached to a window.

"Seriously, in such a luxurious villa, I can feel the exquisite works of art being destroyed when this hook is used."

Arak muttered to himself, which greatly annoyed Gin.

This guy is great in every way, except for his mouth. Maybe we should just donate it.

"Arak, if you utter another word, I'll kill you!"

Gin did not enter the villa; he and Gil each guarded a corner to prevent anyone from escaping from the villa.

Arak ignored Gin, quickly entered the room, and gave Vodka a high-five.

"Yes!"

Vodka: "???"

Vodka touched his face, and God slapped him across the face.

"Alright, Arak, time is running out. If you keep acting so carelessly, I'll give you a death mission later."

Amuro Tooru glanced at it.

Calvados, Curaçao, and Arak were all present.

There's Gin and Gil outside too.

It has been confirmed that Ishihara, who was there this afternoon, is Vermouth.

All indications suggest that, apart from tequila and Baileys, the distillery has mobilized its entire resources this time.

"Strange, where's Ireland?" Alak rummaged through the room, even checking under the bed, looking exactly like someone catching someone in the act.

Amuro Tooru worked in Europe and America in his early years, and Araq had met him quite a few times, so he had a fairly good understanding of his personality.

So he didn't care.

He doesn't seem very reliable, but Alark is still a very trustworthy person when it comes to getting things done.

You mean Ireland is here too?

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru almost instinctively thought that Karasuma Renya was also there.

"Yeah, I heard the boss came too, but we only saw Gin. Speaking of which, I've been in the organization for so long, but I've never seen the boss's face. I really want to see how old he is."

“Arak, Lord Rum sent me here to help silence them. Don’t waste my time. I have other things to take care of later.”

Curaçao placed one hand on Arak's shoulder, pressing hard with his palm, clearly showing his impatience.

"Alright, all of you shut up. Now I'll briefly outline the process. There's an additional variable now that we can't afford to be careless about."

Gin's original plan was to go all out, but after hearing Vodka's description of Rumi Wakasa, he felt that this woman was not simple.

Even though there was clearly no way to climb the mountain, the fact that the other party could still appear in the villa was a big problem no matter what.

"Where is Vermouth?" Amuro Tooru asked doubtfully.

After the explosion was over, they did check the rooms, but they couldn't find any trace of Vermouth in the entire Twilight Villa.

"You don't need to worry about this. If anything happens to you, she should come to your aid."

Clearly, Gin himself was unaware of the situation.

However, given that Ireland is also not mentioned, Vermouth clearly has her own plans, and Ireland may have contacted Vermouth a long time ago.

The two of them must be together now, somewhere in the villa.

"I thought Rumi Wakasa was what Vermouth really looked like, but it turns out she isn't."

Vodka muttered something under his breath, and then he heard Gin begin to outline the action plan.

Shortly after, the door to the room where Amuro Tooru and Vodka were located opened.

A sliver of light stood out starkly in the dark corridor, but fortunately, their room was on a different side from the others, so it went unnoticed.

Immediately afterwards, the group of five began their operation.

Hakuba Saguru was assigned to Kogoro Mouri and Conan's room, Natsukawa and Yoru shared a room, Wakasa Rumi had a room, and the remaining room was for Amuro Tooru and his companion.

With personnel concentrated in one place, the difficulty for the winery has been greatly reduced.

They only need to target the people in these three rooms now.

The group of five completely ignored Xia Chuan and his two companions. After all, Joel's combat strength was undeniable, and attacking them first would inevitably alert everyone.

In Kogoro Mouri's room, there was a child and an unconscious person who was unable to fight, leaving only Kogoro Mouri to deal with the situation easily.

Therefore, Gin's plan is to target Rumi Wakasa first!

"Remember, the communication equipment you are currently using has certain limitations and a limited range. There is a high probability that you will lose signal outside the annex. Therefore, you must report the situation immediately if you need to leave the annex area."

Moreover, this device consumes a lot of power, and the battery life is very limited; you have about an hour.

If any problems arise during this time, report them immediately, or leave the annex immediately and meet me.

As he was giving instructions, Gin suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, right, if you encounter a chubby, Mediterranean-looking man, between forty and eighty years old, notify me immediately. You can only control him, absolutely do not kill him!"

Gin's words were firm and resolute, and he even used the word "absolutely," implying that even if everyone was in danger of dying, they could not kill this person.

"Who is he?" Amuro Tooru suddenly stopped, puzzled by Gin's description.

I can understand chubby, Mediterranean-looking men, but why are the ages ranged from forty to eighty? What kind of inhuman range is that?

“Don’t worry about his identity. Report any suspicious targets immediately.” Gin shook his head and added softly, “Your search today was too one-sided. Vermouth was able to escape, and so can others. There might be others in this villa. Be on your guard.”

Gin did not directly state Karasuma Renya's guess; in fact, he did not think that Natsukawa was related to the scholar.

After all, there is no evidence to suggest that this is possible.

The reason he took action against Wakasa Rumi was that he was more inclined to suspect that she might be connected to scholars, since he knew nothing about Wakasa Rumi and naturally placed her in a more dangerous position.

He knew scholars and knew that the scholars had a group of middle-aged people around them who were close to the age of Kenmura Tadahiro. Judging from Vodka's description, Wakasa Rumi fit the description very well.

"The boss's guess might be true," Gin thought to himself as he hung up the communication device.

"Honestly, I think Gin is making things difficult for me. I really don't know how to use a light touch on a forty- or eighty-year-old man so that he can live."

Arak muttered to himself, his voice only audible to Vodka beside him.

However, Vodka ignored him. If the timing hadn't been inappropriate, he would have insisted on a fair fight with the other man to show him that a tiger's face isn't so easy to touch.

The group quickly arrived at the door of Wakasa Rumi's room.

Curaçao gestured: Is this the place? Are you sure?

Amuro Tooru nodded slightly.

Curaçao placed his hand on the handle and turned to indicate that he was about to open the door.

The others drew their guns, some standing by the door, others directly opposite, trying their best not to make a mistake.

"It's locked from the inside, wait a minute."

Curaçao coolly pulled out a thin needle.

During the prying process, some slight noises were unavoidable.

There was still no sound from inside the room, as if they hadn't heard anything.

A moment later, the door opened.

The room was pitch black and completely silent, but the people outside dared not be negligent in the slightest. They exchanged glances and all sensed something strange.

The fact that all five were incredibly professional assassins immediately drew attention.

Amuro Tooru gestured: "Arak goes first!"

Arak was no longer the eccentric man he had been before. He gripped a dagger in his left hand and a gun in his right, cautiously entering the room.

The darkness was nothing to him; he entered silently.

"Kaka."

He had barely taken three steps inside when Alak suddenly stopped, leaning warily against the wall and looking down at his feet.

I think I tripped over something, which caused the sound like plastic being kneaded.

The others were startled by the sound, and Vodka immediately turned on his flashlight.

The reason was simple: the sound from before was incredibly jarring in this silence.

The flashlight immediately illuminated the room, and everyone could see that the sound came from a plastic bottle tied with fishing line. Whenever someone pressed the fishing line, the plastic bottle would make a sound.

The flashlight continued to shine inward, and the blankets on the bed rose into a human-shaped arc, but they did not react to the sounds they made.

Vodka and Curaçao pointed their guns at the bed, while Arak didn't move an inch, only turning his gun towards the bathroom.

Calvados and Amuro immediately began to look around the room, one pulling back the curtains and the other pulling back the blankets.

The bedding was piled high with books and other odds and ends, deliberately creating the illusion that the person was still in bed.

“Gin, we haven’t found Rumi Wakasa. She’s probably discovered something,” Amuro Tooru said calmly.

“Find her.” Gin replied coolly, “Since she’s here, she definitely won’t leave easily. She must still be inside the Twilight Villa.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "bang" drew everyone's attention. Turning around, they saw that Arak, at the very back, was leaning against the wall, his hand covering his chest.

Through the beam of the flashlight, a footprint could be vaguely seen on his chest.

"She was in the bathroom just now. She attacked me when she opened the door, and now she's run out."

"Chase!"

Curaçao lifted her long legs and chased after him, with the others close behind.

Arak, his face grim, shouted, "Be careful, this woman is not simple."

Light footsteps echoed in the corridor on the second floor of the annex. Although they were playing a game of chase, both sides were deliberately keeping their footsteps low, but they were still inevitably discovered by Yoel and Natsukawa.

"stretch--"

While pondering how to deal with the five tails behind her, Rumi Wakasa accidentally stepped on something. She looked down but found nothing.

However, the metallic clanging sound from above confirmed that she must have triggered some kind of mechanism.

Immediately afterwards, knives and forks fell down like dominoes.

Rumi Wakasa stared blankly at the knives and forks that kept falling from above her head, lost in thought.

The next moment, as if hearing a sound, he turned around and his eyes suddenly widened.

Curaçao flung a knife and fork at him!
Wakasa Rumi remained completely calm as she faced the knife and fork overhead and the fork thrown by Curaçao, and then she was lifted into the air.

Her light body, like a bird, dodged attacks from above and behind.

(Hurry, the monthly pass is about to go moldy, time is running out!)
