Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 587 Casualties Occur
Moonlight streamed through the windows and into the corridor.

Four figures stood facing each other.

Xia Chuan faced three people alone, yet remained fearless.

This made Gin frown slightly.

What other tricks do they have up their sleeves? Do they not take the three of them seriously?
Joel had fought him before, and Curaçao had fought Wakasa Rumi. Natsukawa should know very well how much strength the two of them could exert together, yet he still dared to wait for them.

No, it's just bluffing!

Last time, he thought Xia Chuan had a backup plan, but after waiting for more than an hour, none of Xia Chuan's people showed up.

This time, it will certainly be the same.

Having made his judgment, Gin was no longer as nervous as before, but he didn't want to waste words with Natsukawa.

"I'm here, but there's nothing to explain. This is the property of the organization."

With that, Gin was about to fire!
However, just as he was about to raise his gun, a loud explosion suddenly erupted overhead, tearing off the ceiling and revealing a hole inside.

Thick fog began to dissipate from the cavity.

"Smoke again!"

Gin gets angry at the sight of smoke, which reminds him of the failed ambush on the Thorn Princess.

Having already achieved something the first time, it would be extremely difficult to make any significant progress using smoke the second time.

Before the smoke had even cleared, Gin shattered the glass with a few shots, then pulled out a handkerchief and covered his face.

Vodka followed suit.

Only Curaçao frowned; she had never even considered that the smoke bomb contained a stun-inducing substance.

It wasn't until Gin reminded her that Curaçao snapped out of her daze and covered her mouth and nose with her arm.

However, in such a short time, the three discovered that Xia Chuan had already disappeared.

"Oh no! He's just trying to distract us. The other two are actually attacking Vermouth and the others!"

Despite the unbelievable fact, Curaçao still felt that the Vermouth Six had a very tough time dealing with the other two.

Oh no.

There are five people.

Calvados is no different from a piece of trash.

With five people, it's even harder to say.

"Clang-crack-"

The three of them turned around and saw something fall to the ground in the depths ahead. After landing, it rolled a distance under their feet until it came into the range of moonlight. Only then could they see it clearly, and then they suddenly fell backward.

"Rumble--"

The huge explosion shook the entire villa slightly, dust and smoke filled the air, floor tiles shattered, walls bulged outwards, and the gold-plated exterior cracked open.

After the impact, Gin shook his head violently to stand up, his eardrums ringing and his limbs numb, feeling as if he had been given general anesthesia.

Upstairs, Kiel was helping Calvados walk forward when suddenly the ground shook violently, a huge shock almost numbing the soles of her feet.

Her position was directly above the explosion, and the impact almost made her kneel down.

With Joel and Wakasa Rumi standing in front of them, this sudden change made them disregard everything else, and the two sides inevitably went to war.

Within the confined space, Joel and Wakasa had a greater advantage.

But Vermouth and her group had clearly learned their lesson; they placed two large shields in front of them, so that bullets could only hit the shields and be deflected.

Suddenly, the advantage turned into a disadvantage, because the distillery had more people.

"We must open a breach."

"I'll do it!" Joel said softly, and silently pressed the switch in his hand.

Instantly, the ceiling on the second floor exploded just like the one on the first floor, billowing smoke.

This time, the smoke was obviously much larger, and it was an all-around explosion. The ceiling of the entire corridor was breached, so the dense fog spread even faster than the windows could be ventilated.

"Be careful, the smoke can cause dizziness!"

Vermouth was on guard and immediately covered her mouth and nose.

Amuro Tooru and others also made the same gesture.

This action reduced their firepower and also caused them to lose their vision. Joel and Rumi Wakasa were completely shrouded in smoke, to the point where they could hardly see their own hands.

Smoke billowed, and the shield suddenly bore tremendous force. Recalling what had happened in the hall before, Ireland immediately pulled out his dagger and slashed at the shield's surface.

"brush--"

I felt a force applied; I was hit!

Ireland was overjoyed and was about to remind the others to make a move, but he found that he couldn't retract his outstretched hand no matter what he did.

When I came to my senses, I realized that something was pressing down on my wrist.

With a snap, a sharp pain shot through his wrist, and Ireland screamed in agony.

Seeing that things were going badly, Arak shouted for everyone to release their shields, and then kicked the shields hard.

The shield flew out, and Rumi Wakasa, who was standing on the shield, also flew out with it.

All of this happened in an instant, and when Ireland looked at his arm, he found that his wrist was already bright red.

He swallowed hard.

Thankfully, my hand is still intact.

"and many more!"

Ireland's gaze shifted from his wrist to his palm, where he discovered that he was holding a grenade with the pin pulled out.

This scene nearly scared him out of his wits. He immediately threw the grenade with all his might, using the fastest speed and strength he had ever used.

The grenade barely flew out the window before exploding as the countdown ended. Ireland's action somewhat made up for almost killing everyone, but the powerful blast wave from outside the window sent him flying.

We were lucky; at least it wasn't a fragmentation grenade.

However, the debris from the wall, carried by the blast wave, still had considerable destructive power, leaving many small wounds on Ireland.

He stared at his chest with lingering fear.

There was a shard of glass stuck there.

However, due to the bulletproof vest, it appears to be only a superficial injury.

Rumi Wakasa secretly regretted it, but in this way, she had broken through the defenses.

With the defense breached, Jol had a chance to exert his strength.

Like a demon in the smoke, she showed no sign of backing down amidst the thick fog, sounding the charge.

Arak seemed to have developed a keen ear for hearing, and immediately discerned Joel's location from the footsteps, opening fire immediately.

The gunshots immediately put the others on alert, and they opened fire as well.

Taking advantage of the thick smoke, Amuro Tooru took two steps back and stood behind Calvados and Vermouth.

In this situation, Vermouth was unaware that someone was slacking off, and focused all her attention on Joel and Rumi Wakasa.

The faint sound of hurried footsteps could be heard ahead, and sparks flew through the smoke, but Arak did not utter the words "hit."

"Arak! What's going on?" Vermouth shouted!
"It's not over yet, she's still here. Stop making noise, the gunfire is loud enough!"

As he spoke, Arak's expression grew increasingly grim.

No, is it possible for someone to remain completely unharmed amidst the vast net of bullets?
It still hit! Is this a suicide charge?
He dismissed the idea as soon as it came to him.

This isn't war; every combatant is invaluable. How could this be?
Furthermore, if any one of Yoel, Wakasa Rumi, or Natsukawa were to die, they would definitely be able to turn the tables and suppress the enemy!

The other party couldn't possibly be unaware of this key point.

"Step back and wait for the smoke to clear."

After shouting those words, Alarc immediately retreated frantically, and the others, while unleashing their bullets, also retreated as instructed.

Even though it was only five or six meters away, Joel could hardly get any closer. Dodging the bullets was already a testament to her 120% performance.

The accuracy of the bullets will improve if you get a little closer.

The fog density was insufficient, visibility increased when the distance was too close, and the number of people resulted in strong coverage of the bullet net.

For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, and Joel's breathing became increasingly rapid, as continuing like this was pointless.

It's true that they've used up the opponent's bullets, but with their stamina depleted, they'll definitely be outmatched in future engagements, and this can't continue.

Just then, from an angle unseen by the others, Xia Chuan suddenly leaped in from the window where the explosion had just occurred.

Calvados suddenly noticed a dark figure appear in front of him.

As a sniper, his eyesight is naturally better than others, but in the current situation, he has multiple injuries and doesn't even have the strength to run.

Because of the critical situation, no one could take care of him.

The body, unable to move, could only let out a scream before falling silent.

A flash of cold light, and blood spurted out.

Thick liquid splattered onto the skin of Amuro Tooru, Arak, and the others. Feeling the warmth and smelling the blood, their faces turned extremely pale.

They were actually surrounded, surrounded by a mere three people?
"Lord Beng Ermo".

Calvados gave Vermouth one last look, his wide eyes filled with adoration.

Immediately afterwards, his body was out of control, and he fell straight down.

However, his death was not in vain; the strong smell of blood made everyone tense and they began to retreat.

With Vodka's shouts coming from behind, the retreat speed was even faster, provided that the rear was safe.

"Lead them to the hall. It's too cramped here, and our numbers put us at a greater disadvantage."

The distillery group was reduced to eight people, while Xia Chuan and his two companions suffered minimal losses.

This misjudgment made Gin's face turn extremely ugly. "Take out all the grenades!"

Gin is serious this time.

Previously, there was concern that a bomb would destroy the annex, but now there's nothing that can be done.

At worst, they could search for gold fragments in the ruins, or at worst, refine them. But if they didn't deal with Xia Chuan and his group, they wouldn't even have the right to distribute the gold.

Leaving in a sorry state was not Gin's style, and after this explanation, everyone pulled out grenades.

But then another problem arose.

Upon returning to the hall, they immediately lost sight of each other; Xia Chuan and his two companions were still hiding in the shadows.

Furthermore, it cannot be confirmed whether Xia Chuan has installed surveillance cameras or similar devices in the annex; their location is very likely under Xia Chuan's surveillance.

"The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; our chances are slim."

As soon as Amuro Tooru finished speaking, Gin suddenly felt his phone vibrate.

He took out his phone to check, and then smiled. "A small team of eight members from the outer perimeter have already entered the annex area via the suspension bridge cable."

This is good news, but there's also bad news, though Gin didn't reveal the bad news.

The bad news was that, due to the zoo's constraints, their small team was only the scouts who had arrived earlier and did not carry any high-powered weapons. Rifles and explosives were their limit, and they had no other offensive weapons such as grenades or RPGs.

Strictly speaking, a group of people came to their deaths.

But rifles are at least much better than pistols, and after the battle just now, the men's pistol bullets were almost all gone.

Fighting with bare hands is not in Gin's nature. Why make trouble for himself when he can gain the upper hand by shooting?
