Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 580 The Whole Family Are Riddlers
"How can we not notice?" Conan pointed to the light above his head: "Right now, this is probably the only room on the second floor of the entire annex that still has its lights on."

“Aunt Joel, we have to do something.” Conan looked at Joel, his expression serious. “Can you really bear to let Uncle Natsukawa face the danger alone?”

"But I think it would be really dangerous if Conan and Hakuba went out; they would be more of a hindrance than a help."

It's not that Anya doesn't trust the two of them, it's just that the current situation is beyond what can be solved by thinking.

Joel shared the same idea.

She does have the ability.

But no.

What will happen to Anya and the other two if she goes out?
"Boom boom boom——"

A knock sounded on the door, and the room fell silent instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Anya suddenly ran to open the door.

"Ania, what are you doing!"

Conan quickly pulled him back: "We don't know who's outside. Opening the door is like committing suicide."

"That's my father!"

Even if Anya is slow-witted, she wouldn't be so oblivious as to miss her father's true feelings.

"Nonsense, you didn't even open the door, how did you know it was Uncle Xia Chuan outside? You just said there were people in the next room, maybe it was them?"

Anya rolled her eyes in exasperation, but her father had told her that she couldn't tell anyone about mind-reading.

Xia Chuan, finding no response, knocked several more times, this time using the knocking rhythm he and Joel had agreed upon beforehand.

“That’s right, the knocking was arranged by Xia Chuan beforehand.”

Joel relaxed and went straight to open the door.

When the door opened and they saw Natsukawa outside, Conan and Hakuba Saguru breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xia Chuan looked rather disheveled at this moment. His suit had some footprints and dust on it, and there was a tear on the side of the suit with faint traces of blood.

His breathing was slightly rapid, and there was a little sweat on his forehead, indicating that he had just done strenuous exercise.

"What's wrong?"

Natsukawa was somewhat surprised that Conan and Hakuba had woken up, but he didn't say anything. Noticing the strange expressions on their faces, he asked, "Did someone else knock on the door just now?"

Joel shook his head: "No, it's just that Anya said there was some noise from the room next door."

"But are you alright?"

Joel's gaze swept over Xia Chuan, finally settling on the ripped part of his suit.

"It's nothing, just a scratch, it's not a big deal. I'm glad you're all alright."

"Is there any movement?" Xia Chuan muttered, then went straight to the balcony, glanced outside, and said, "It's not safe here anymore. There are a lot of codenamed members from the winery in the Twilight Villa now. We're too conspicuous here."

"Wait! What did you say—"

Conan's voice was somewhat hysterical.

To be precise, it was probably due to the effect of that dish I just ate.

He always felt that Xia Chuan was hiding something, and now he realized it was about the winery.

Why are they here?

Xia Chuan glanced at him, then at Bai Masheng.

Conan snapped out of his daze and shut up, but his gaze toward Natsukawa remained displeased.

"what?"

Hakuba Saguru scratched his head, looking puzzled and unable to find the answer.

He rummaged through his clothes for a moment, then pulled out a pistol and said, "You should have a pistol in your room too. With Miss Joel's skills, breaking through shouldn't be too difficult for us, right?"

Joel didn't speak; she didn't want to leave. If she wanted to leave, she would have taken Anya away long ago and wouldn't be wasting time here.

Sorry, but I absolutely have to fight Gin to the death today.

Joel's gaze gleamed as he looked at Xia Chuan, who shook his head slightly.

The two exchanged the message silently that Karasuma Renya was not there.

"No matter what, we can't let them get away this time. If the number of codenamed members decreases, we might be able to lure him out."

"What are you talking about?" Hakuba Saguru's lips twitched. He had only taken a nap, and when he woke up, the situation seemed to have reached a point beyond his comprehension.

Conan is the same as him.

He clearly knows the winery well, but now he can't quite understand the conversation and eye contact between Yoel and Natsukawa.

"Okay, stop chatting, we're out of time."

Xia Chuan and Yue Er both looked outside, their expressions turning serious.

Just now, I heard faint footsteps approaching.

Immediately afterwards, Anya also suddenly stopped smiling and started winking at Xia Chuan.

Even Xia Chuan couldn't understand the meaning behind the expression he was making, but he roughly knew what it meant.

Conan and Hakuba Saguru: "Is this whole family riddle solvers???"

"Let's go first."

Natsukawa grabbed Hakuba Saguru by the back of his collar, while Joel casually tucked Conan and Anya into his arms.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Hakuba Saguru felt like he might not be fully awake yet, because in the blink of an eye, he had been grabbed by Natsukawa and jumped off the second-floor balcony.

The feeling of weightlessness beneath his feet almost made his heart stop beating.

Although this is only a second-floor balcony, this is a detached house, and the floor height is different from that of commercial and residential buildings!

"Wow--"

The moment he landed, Hakuba Saguru sat down on the ground with a thud, looked up in disbelief, and then looked down to touch the earth.

It's the feeling of being alive.

so horrible.

Conan and Anya are better.

Anya was already used to it, while Conan was prepared.

Hakuba Saguru is still too ignorant.

Conan shook his head inwardly, feeling contempt for Hakuba Saguru.

He never imagined that when he first saw Joel's fighting strength, his expression wouldn't be much better than Joel's.

"boom--"

A muffled thud suddenly came from the room we were in, followed by a flash of white light and then the sound of sparse footsteps.

"It's a stun grenade. I didn't expect them to bring even that."

Hakuba Saguru looked grim and quickly got up from the ground, following Natsukawa and the others into the forest.

The forest was completely silent. The appearance of Xia Chuan and his group did not cause any disturbance. Only an owl turned its head to look, but it only stared at them with cold eyes.

Conan felt a slight tremor in his heart as he watched, and inwardly cursed Natsukawa once again.

If Xia Chuan had told him what was going to happen here beforehand, he would have brought all the necessary equipment, instead of being completely defenseless except for his watch and shoes.

"What do we do next?"

Joel was worried about the safety of the three of them, and also worried that if he didn't intervene, Gin and his group would leave.

"Don't worry, as long as the villa is here, they will never give up."

"Then let's leave the villa quickly and notify the police. Staying here is obviously pointless."

"That's right, there are definitely more than just this many people."

Conan strongly agreed with Hakuba Saguru's suggestion.

Hakuba pointed to the broken bridge ahead: "We can follow the cliff to find a way out. Since Wakasa Rumi can appear here, it proves that there is indeed a path to leave."

As he was speaking, he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right, what about Wakasa no Mikoto? And Mr. Mori too?"

Xia Chuan didn't answer, but said directly, "You and Conan go and notify the police. We'll stay here and keep watch. It's best if they can't leave."
