Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 610 The Little Girl's Arrogance
Ai Haibara reluctantly accepted the treasure map.

She had absolutely no interest in this, but seeing the expectant looks on Joel and Xia Chuan's faces, she could only reluctantly accept it.

Is it too much to ask?
Anya nudged Ai Haibara's shoulder with her elbow teasingly: "If you really don't like it, give me yours, so I can use both to find the treasure."

"Only a child like you would believe that."

Despite saying that, Ai Haibara did not hand over the treasure map with the word "dragon" written on it.

"That's really against my will."

Ai Haibara blushed when Anya pointed it out, but as long as she pretended not to hear, she could ignore Natsukawa and Yoel's smiling gazes.

Take a deep breath, then exhale.

Well, damn Anya, she hates this brat!

"I never expected Ai Haibara to be so cute. She seemed so serious before, like a grown-up. Now she looks so normal!"

Kazuha Toyama stood aside, trying not to laugh. As a "tour guide," her professional ethics told her not to laugh, but Ai Haibara's tsundere behavior made her smile involuntarily.

Natsukawa and Yoru felt the same way. They exchanged a glance and felt that they had made the right choice in going to Osaka. Perhaps they should have taken Ai Haibara out to play more often. Over time, her personality would become more cheerful.

"Ai is actually quite cute, she's just quiet most of the time."

Xia Chuan reached out and touched her brown short hair, which displeased Haibara Ai, but this displeasure was more like a coquettish act.

I'm clearly an 18-year-old adult, so how did I suddenly become like this?
Ai Haibara asked herself a question, only to find she couldn't find the door.

Faced with others' teasing and friendliness, not knowing what expression to use, I could only put on a serious face again amidst the laughter, then cross my arms and walk towards another cultural and creative product store.

"I wonder how Hattori and the others are doing. We made plans to have dinner together tonight, and it seems like it's not long before our agreed time."

A light drizzle began to fall from the gloomy sky, and Toyama Kazuha couldn't help but worry. Heiji didn't seem to have the habit of carrying an umbrella when he went out!
And since I haven't contacted them by this time, I have a bad feeling.

"It is indeed a bit late, why don't you give him a call and ask him what's going on?" Xia Chuan said meaningfully.

Kazuha Toyama went to the side to make a phone call, but Joel had already started gossiping: "Did you figure something out? Did a case really happen over there?"

Joel acknowledges that Kogoro Mouri and Conan possess the qualities of death gods.

But a murder case already happened yesterday, so is it possible that another one will happen today? That seems a bit far-fetched.

"It's no exaggeration to say that the death of one person is just the beginning."

Natsukawa shrugged helplessly, saying that if Beika or even the whole of Tokyo wanted to improve public order, the best way would be to expel Kogoro Mouri from the list of human beings.

At worst, they should be stripped of their Tokyo citizenship and sent elsewhere to cause harm to others.

Sure enough, not long after, Toyama Kazuha rushed over: "Something bad has happened. There's been an incident at Hattori's place. Someone just fell from the castle tower."

Xia Chuan and Yue Er exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

“See, I told you so.” Anya moved closer to Ai Haibara: “Conan, Hattori, and Kogoro together, this might just be the beginning.”

"You know again?"

"Of course, I'm Anya!"

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the castle.

The magnificent castle tower, illuminated by lights, resembles a pavilion in the sky. The marble floor gives it a sense of historical weight. Tourists hurry by, some leaving quickly, while others curiously peek inside.

Inspector Otaki stroked his neat buzz cut, clearly feeling somewhat helpless about his encounter with murder cases on two consecutive days.

That's strange. Could it be that what my brother in Tokyo said is true?
Even when Hattori was in charge, there weren't this many cases, and they were all murder cases.

Now things are really messed up. "Officer Otaki, how's the situation?"

With Yuanshan and Ye using facial recognition, Xia Chuan and his group arrived at the crime scene without any hindrance.

Unfortunately, the body had already been removed, and only white lines on the ground marked the location of the death.

A crowd of people with umbrellas surrounded him; no matter where you go, people's gossip instincts are very strong.

"Mr. Natsukawa, you've arrived."

Officer Otaki's eyes twitched when he saw Natsukawa.

I almost forgot, there's also Xia Chuan.

"We had arranged to have dinner with Hattori and the others, but then we heard about the case and rushed over."

Without needing to ask Natsukawa any questions, Officer Otaki nodded solemnly and began to recount the case.

Although Xia Chuan didn't mean it that way, since the other party had started explaining the situation, he patiently listened.

To be honest, he didn't really remember who the murderer was; he only knew that two people were going to die.

But none of that matters. With Anya around, finding out who the murderer is won't be difficult at all.

Upon noticing her father's gaze, Anya immediately put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and frowned, feigning incomprehension.

Ai Haibara: "."

I don't understand what this kid is so smug about.

The deceased belonged to a certain Taiko Hideyoshi travel group and was named Kato Yuji. In the group's games, he played the role of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Before the incident, his companions had been looking for him for half a day.

Hattori and the others were the first to discover it. After hearing the sudden explosion of the castle tower, they saw a figure burning with pale blue flames fall from the castle tower.

Police have preliminarily determined that the incident was a self-immolation jump.

As for how this judgment was reached, Officer Otaki did not explain in detail, but there was a result.
Hearing your words was like I hadn't heard a word. Everywhere I went, these police inspectors were like this, and Natsukawa was already used to it.

Moreover, the deceased's companion had already left the scene under the pretext of having something to do.

Xia Chuan could only say "amazing" to this; if there was any evidence left on the murderer, this amount of time would have been enough to clean it up.

"By the way, where are Hattori and the others?"

"Look, it's over there."

Following Officer Ōtaki's directions, you can see three figures on the roof of Taiko Castle.

When Natsukawa looked over, Hattori even had a smug smile on his face.

Following the rope in Hattori's hand, one can vaguely see a large head peeking out.

That rope was hanging around his neck; who else could it be but Conan?

Upon seeing this scene, Xia Chuan couldn't help but recall a game from his past life, a collaboration skin between Conan and another game, which was simply unbearable to look at.

Okita Souji stood next to Hattori Heiji, seemingly uninterested in the case, and kept yawning.

Seeing Xia Chuan's gaze, he suddenly steadied himself, and a fighting spirit immediately rose within him.

"Hey, can't you be normal for once? I thought someone was going to push me off from behind."

Hattori Heiji shivered.
