Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 578 Gin's Call
Arak let out a soft "hmm," wondering what Xia Chuan meant by this. He was clearly the one at a disadvantage, so why was Xia Chuan retreating?

Did Vermouth make a move? Or has something else happened?

The thought immediately roused Alarc; he knew he had to stop the opponent and give his teammates an opening.

"Xia Chuan, come again!"

Arak then jumped to the second floor, his powerful fist like a cannonball, about to hit Xia Chuan in the chest.

The target was still the spot where he had just been kicked.

Xia Chuan wasn't about to give him a chance; all he wanted to do right now was answer the phone.

His hands reached out like swimming dragons, and as he bent back, he gripped Arak's fist tightly.

Arak was surprised, but he didn't falter; he just exerted even more force.

However, Xia Chuan did not shake off his fist as he expected; instead, he pulled it towards him!
What does he want to do?

The question popped into Arak's mind, but he quickly found the answer.

Xia Chuan pulled his wrist and took half a step back.

Arak suddenly realized that his hind foot was off the ground, and then he realized that Xia Chuan's purpose was to make him lose his balance. When he was out of balance, his strength and next move would be affected.

The punch did hit, but Alak didn't have time to be happy.

Xia Chuan turned his body, hoisted his wrist to his shoulder, and shoved his heel directly into Arak's only foot that was on the ground.

next moment.

Arak took to the air.

However, at this moment, he lost all leverage and was completely unable to exert force; his body could only follow the direction of his wrist's movement.

"boom!"

He slammed into the wall in a bizarre posture.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom. I'll be right back, please wait for me."

After saying that, Xia Chuan rushed into the second-floor corridor and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The hall fell silent.

Even Rumi Wakasa stopped what she was doing.

She was extremely puzzled and speechless.

Dude, this is a fight! You suddenly leave halfway through, isn't that a bit much?
Although Mogi Yoshun made some subtle moves to let things slide, how would she handle it if Arak were added to the mix?

"Arak, are you alright?"

Calvados limped over to Arak and helped him up.

"fine."

Arak felt dizzy and his vision went completely black for more than ten seconds before it returned to normal.

"This Xia Chuan is not as simple as he seems. I'm going after him!"

Curaçao wanted to bring Arakla over to surround and attack Wakasa Rumi, but Arak didn't give her a chance to speak and chased after her into the depths of the corridor.

What an embarrassing day!

Especially his handsome face, which was bleeding from the nose!

Unforgivable!

Don't hit someone in the face, don't kill someone without leaving your little hook. Don't you have even this much fighting spirit?

Must take revenge.

"Hey! Big brother!"

Xia Chuan went to a restroom to catch his breath before turning back to make a phone call.

"What were you doing just now?"

Gin never imagined that his trusted subordinate had just been randomly punching members of the brewery by their code names.

He hadn't been able to get through the first two times, and he thought the agave was being targeted by researchers too. Thank goodness...
"Sorry, bro, I was on the toilet just now. I even..."

"Okay, I get it!"

Gin quickly interrupted, saying he had no interest in such matters.

"The peripheral members I asked you to prepare should be ready by now, right?"

The reason Tequila didn't come was because Gin deliberately left it behind.

Tokyo is, after all, the main base, and someone has to watch over things no matter how big the matter is.

Moreover, when it comes to personnel deployment, tequila is more reliable than vodka.

"Don't worry, I've already deployed the outer team to the vicinity of Nagano. They can arrive in two hours at most, just give the order."

Qin Jiu nodded.

Although it's slow, that's all we can do.

Next, it's his turn to appear.

While we're at it, let's see what that bastard Vermouth is up to. She dragged Ireland into the annex and hasn't shown up since, as if she has some other mission.

But he knew that Vermouth couldn't possibly have any other mission.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chuan let out a deep breath and smiled.

If the call goes through, then he can contact Frank!
Xia Chuan first notified the leaders of the peripheral members, telling them to prepare immediately.

Next, he called Frank.

"Damn it, Xia Chuan, you son of a bitch! This huge Golden Villa, you just say you'll use it as bait! Don't tell me you didn't know beforehand. I know your personality. You definitely didn't tell me on purpose, right?"

"Don't you know that the value of this villa is enough to cover all our missions over the years, and the IRS's missions are incomparable to it?"

Later, Xia Chuan even heard a sob in his voice.

Sure enough, Frank would react this way once he knew the value of the villa, so Xia Chuan deliberately pulled the phone away a little, waiting for Frank to finish his rant before offering his comfort.

"Alright, calm down. If we win this battle, won't all these things still be ours?"

"It sounds simple, but nearly ten codenamed members are present, including Karasuma Renya. And even if we win, so what? Amuro Tooru is there, along with Kogoro Mouri and a few other outsiders. Once the news gets out, the Japanese government will definitely be envious."

Xia Chuan was well aware of this as well. The best way to develop Twilight Villa was to do so secretly. Now that the news had leaked, even if he owned the property rights, the Japanese authorities would still try to get a share of the profits.

"So what? No matter what, we'll still make a fortune through ill-gotten gains, won't we?"

Frank: "."

"Oh, right!" Frank suddenly remembered something and said, "What do you think about the owner of that Mercedes? The investigation found that the car is closely related to the Haneda family."

"You may not know the Haneda family, but they are a prominent family in Japan. In the most recent generation alone, they have produced two Taiko (Taiko) figures and have a very high social status in Japan."

"fine."

Xia Chuan shook his head. He had actually guessed something about Wakasa Rumi's appearance. When Frank informed him later, he confirmed who might have been in that car.

——Yasuharu Haneda.

Koji Haneda's father.

Similarly, he was also the adoptive father of the current Taiko Meijin, Haneda Hideyoshi.

Although it's unclear why Yasuharu Haneda is associated with Rumi Wakasa, the fact that the two appear together, no matter how illogical, is the correct answer.

"Xia Chuan, listen to me carefully. You absolutely cannot lose Twilight Villa, or I will break off all ties with you, and you will never get any information from me again."

Frank was still fuming.

"Okay, I don't have much time right now, so please listen to me first."

Natsukawa briefly explained Gin's instructions, and then proceeded to elaborate on his own plan.

He then added, "If we succeed, these peripheral members won't be able to reach the Twilight Villa."

"Don't worry, since we anticipated this, our current preparations are sufficient." Frank nodded slightly, hung up the phone, and began to operate.
