Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 60 Only children make choices
In fact, these ridiculous things that happened by the FBI have nothing to do with the IRS. What disgusts and angers them is that the FBI actually planted spies in their IRS.

Although they also planted agents in the FBI, the tax authorities' duty is to investigate the taxes of all departments within the country, and planting agents is a necessary means. Sometimes they even intervene in foreign tax matters, which is standard practice.

The saying "soldiers are allowed to set fires, but ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps" perfectly describes them.

"By the way, the FBI already knows that we hired you to find the Black Organization."

The man in black looked rather unpleasant, clearly ashamed to admit that his information had been leaked.

"How much was leaked?"

To be honest, Xia Chuan wasn't very surprised. It's a country with a separation of powers, and each department spends a lot of money on internal conflicts every year, so it's normal for intelligence to be leaked.

He has never revealed his true appearance to the IRS and is not too worried about it.

"They know we hired the spy Twilight, and that your location is in Japan, but they know nothing else."

Xia Chuan:.
Doesn't that mean they know everything? Even the IRS only knows these two things.

"What's wrong with your IRS? You so easily exposed the collaborator's information, which greatly increases the difficulty of our investigation," Frank said indignantly.

The disguise mask on his face had wrinkled a bit because his facial expressions were too exaggerated.

Xia Chuan quickly glared at him, telling him to watch his facial expressions. He had been too exaggerated just now, making his disguise mask wrinkle.

"What can we do? We've done everything we can to catch this agent."

The man in black shrugged. The United States has its own unique circumstances; what could he do?

Moreover, the renowned Twilight shouldn't be afraid of the FBI. I heard that a few years ago, Twilight messed up the FBI during an undercover mission, making the FBI take the blame and causing several agents to die suddenly.

"By the way, according to our information, FBI agent Shuichi Akai has recently infiltrated Japan. We don't know his purpose, but it should be related to the Black Organization. You need to be careful about this."

After saying that, the man in black seemed to remember something else: "If we run into him, we can teach him a lesson."

"Lessons? That's not within our scope of mission."

Natsukawa raised an eyebrow, surprised that Shuichi Akai had entered the venue ahead of time.

Thinking back, Shuichi Akai seems to have first appeared in Itakura Taku's case, and now it seems he has arrived in Japan ahead of time.

No, it's not necessarily because of him. It's possible that the other person arrived a long time ago, but Aoyama only drew him when he arrived at Itakura Taku's place.

Or rather, did Vermouth come too?
But he just saw the news yesterday that Chris Vineyard was involved in the filming of a new movie on international news, so it shouldn't be possible.

“It’ll cost more.” Frank stared intently at the man in black, as if he were about to pull out his weapon if the man dared to say no.

"There's nothing we can do, our budget is limited." The man in black said dismissively, still thick-skinned and unwilling to budge.

Xia Chuan remained silent, watching the two haggle. Frank had experience with this kind of thing.

"We can't help you if we don't have the money," Frank said, shrugging indifferently.

The man in black's lips twitched at the sight of the greedy woman's face, but he was clearly powerless to do anything about it.

This is something the leader assigned me, and as his trusted confidante, I have to get it done.

Although adding money was not feasible, he had other options.

"It's impossible to add money, but we will recalculate the task's tax using the IRS employee internal rate. The tax after the reduction will be approximately 18% of the total amount."

"This is the lowest price we can offer." The man in black shrugged, indicating that there was nothing they could do if the price wasn't accepted.

Frank thought about it and realized that reducing the tax to 18% was indeed a generous gesture, a full 12 percentage points reduction, which would undoubtedly save a lot of money.

but
"Sure. But you have to provide any assistance we need immediately. From household bicycles to military nuclear submarines." Frank demanded exorbitant prices, showing no restraint whatsoever.

Nuclear submarine.
If the IRS were to lend nuclear submarines to foreigners, Congress would surely revoke their operating licenses.

A dark line appeared on the man's forehead, and his expression turned cold. He knew Frank was making exorbitant demands.

But with dusk right next door, we still have to give them some face.

"Nuclear submarines are out of the question, but you can apply for some special weapons, and we will give them the highest priority. However, as you know, the IRS's main focus is still tax collection. If we don't see some results, it will be difficult to approve some things."

Xia Chuan understood. Nuclear submarines were out of the question; other things like airplanes and tanks were possible, but all of this depended on them obtaining valuable intelligence.

That's about enough for now. Frank nodded in satisfaction. Asking for the moon and then bargaining down the line is a characteristic of information brokers. This is about right for now.

Upon reaching the back of the van, the henchman, who hadn't spoken until now, quickly opened the cargo compartment.

The carriage was quite large, and it was equipped with a considerable amount of weapons and equipment.

"Some of these are weapons used by our IRS special forces, and some were seized from tax-evading gangs. I brought a little of both. You can choose what you like."

A smug smile crept across the man in black's lips. The fact that they could bring a truckload of weapons to Tokyo, even in the suburbs of a country like Japan where guns are prohibited, spoke volumes about their power. It was a demonstration, and also a warning.

He warned Dusk not to be ungrateful and to complete the mission properly, otherwise the IRS would unleash all its armed forces on him.

Xia Chuan nodded noncommittally, unconcerned by the other party's threat.

If I really want to hide, I can just change my face. What's there to be afraid of?

Without facial features, fingerprints, or blood as evidence, it would be impossible for the IRS to find him.

The world is so big, and the IRS is just a tax department in the United States. It's simply unrealistic to expect to find someone who is genuinely hiding anywhere in the world.

However, if this is a threat to export, then he should at least make some kind of response.

A thought suddenly occurred to him, and an idea came to mind.

"Only children make choices, give me the key!"

Xia Chuan reached out and took the key while the black-clad henchman stared in disbelief.

The man in black was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Huang Hun to have such a big appetite. Was he planning to drive away with the weapons and the car at the same time?

"this."

"I'll take them all with me, so you don't have to transport them back."

Xia Chuan smiled and nodded to the two of them, then prepared to get into the car.

As for checking the weapons, there will be plenty of time when we get back.

"Wait a moment!"

The man in black was so angry he almost jumped up and down. Huang Hun was far too arrogant. He hadn't even finished speaking before he was about to leave. This was too disrespectful to the IRS.

Was the reprimand just now too harsh?
"Is there anything else?" Xia Chuan poked his head out from the driver's seat.

We've got the weapons, the intelligence, and the job is almost done.

"You can have the car, but you have to take us to the city center, we can't get a taxi here."

The man in black blushed slightly; those words were truly embarrassing. Fortunately, he was facing away from the moonlight, otherwise his composure would have been completely ruined.

"Here, these are the keys. There's a van parked on the roadside about a kilometer to the left of this old house. I'll give them to you."

Xia Chuan didn't blush or pant; the expression on his face as he threw the keys was as if to say, "You guys hit the jackpot."

Before the other party could say anything more, the van sped away, leaving a cloud of 95-octane gasoline fumes covering the faces of the two IRS agents.

The junior agent shakily picked up the keys from the ground.

"That car is bulletproof, and it's very expensive!"

The man in black waved his hand, resigning himself to his bad luck. After all, it was taxpayers' money, so he didn't care. However, he never expected that the prestigious Twilight would even steal a car.

Fortunately, he didn't go too far; at least he left them a van.

Is it a kilometer to the left? It's alright, not too far.

Ten minutes later, the man in black and his agent walked to the car a kilometer away. His expression suddenly changed, and he bared his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury.

"dusk!"

He roared, but his frustration did not ease in the slightest. A flock of crows were startled and took flight, while several owls stared at him with wide, curious eyes.

The younger brother didn't dare to speak, but he was clearly angry too. He picked up the key and found the unlock button on it.

drip.

The headlights flashed, and yes, it was this car.

This was a white Mitsubishi minivan. The left side of the hood was in close contact with a large tree by the roadside, creating a U-shape. What angered the man in black even more was the completely flat left front tire.

There was a long, thick drift mark on the road, clearly indicating that a sudden tire puncture caused the car to crash into a tree.

The man in black finally understood why Huang Hun had parked his car so far away; it wasn't out of caution, but simply because his car had a flat tire and had hit a tree and couldn't be driven.

On the way, he even praised Huang Hun as a competent spy for carefully parking the car so far away.

He had just told his underlings to learn from Huang Hun, but thinking about what he had just said, his face darkened even more.
