Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 616 Too Patriotic
The others were also taken aback when they heard this, and looked at Shigehiko Wakita, wanting to know why the other man's grandfather had done this.

"Everyone was a huge fan of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After Grandpa deciphered the secret, he found out that it was just a joke, a prank by someone decades ago. He couldn't tell everyone about this, so he took all the blame himself and wanted to hand it over to the country so that everyone wouldn't feel bad."

“.”×N
Did I really bear everything alone?

Everyone remained silent, even Kasuya Yuhiro was stunned and didn't know how to refute.

What the hell is wrong with this person's thought process?

Telling everyone that the treasure is a prank will hurt them, but wouldn't handing it over to the state prevent that?
Was it that Shigehiko Wakita's grandfather was too patriotic, or did they lack sufficient ideological awareness?

Deeply shocked, Kasuya Yuhiro nearly went mad, struggling desperately to fight Wakita Shigehiko to the death.

If it weren't for the imprisonment he was about to face, he would definitely have found Wakiita Ashiya's grave, pried open the coffin, and scattered his ashes!
Xia Chuan was speechless, then chuckled and shook his head: "Then your grandfather was truly a genuine patriot!"

People like this should be sent to the police force to become officers.

In fact, even Shigehiko Wakiita himself was a little confused and even doubted that the treasure was real. However, after hearing his grandfather's notes and Natsukawa's explanation that the item was actually a cultural and creative product, he completely dismissed the idea.

"It seems that the body found in the moat a few days ago was also a member of the tour group," Hattori Heizo said, taking the opportunity to add more unknown information.

“That’s right. After I killed him a few days ago, I borrowed his chat room account to set up this event. He’s not a good person either. Apart from Fukushima Toshiaki, everyone else in this tour group is the culprit who killed my grandfather back then.”

In fact, Shigehiko Wakiita didn't know who killed his grandfather. He found them by looking at his grandfather's diary and photos.

After lurking in chat rooms for a long time, I vaguely felt that my grandfather's death was probably not the work of one person, but rather the result of a group attack.

"He deserves to die!"

Kasuya Yuhiro said viciously, then was escorted away by the police officers, his last look at Wakita Shigehiko filled with deep malice.

However, Shigehiko Wakita no longer cares. So what?

Even if Japan doesn't have the death penalty, the other party's crimes seem quite serious. He'll be an old man in his eighties when he's released from prison in twenty years. Who knows who will seek revenge then?

"Finally solved."

"But why do I feel so uncomfortable all over?" Hattori Heiji crossed his arms and frowned.

The case was solved, and the murderer and the murder-robbery gang were both arrested. However, Conan and Heiji Hattori felt a sense of emptiness in their hearts.

They can solve the case if it's handed over to them, but unfortunately, they have too little time. Xia Chuan's speed is beyond what a normal person can describe.

He was bolder than them.

Whether it's the way of thinking or the plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

"I've already told you, this is what it's like to be with Xia Chuan. He's more capable than any of us, perhaps even comparable to Sherlock Holmes."

Conan said this, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he could only bow his head in the face of reality.

"interesting."

Okita Souji's eyes gleamed with curiosity, and a fleeting thought of transferring to a school in Tokyo even crossed his mind.

If I could get close to Xia Chuan, there would surely be a chance to fight him, right?

Being around someone who is both intelligent and physically stronger than you will make you a better person.

Xia Chuan suddenly shivered, feeling a chill run down his spine when he saw the look in Okita Souji's eyes.

Could this guy be a Wang Defa?

"Join us! Natsukawa-nii is actually one of us. And aren't you curious how Conan, such a young kid, has such amazing deductive abilities? Even I have to listen to his advice." Hattori Heiji tempted him again.

“I’m somewhat interested in Natsukawa, but as for you two…” Okita Souji gave the two of them a disdainful look. “Don’t think I can’t tell you’re cosplaying Sherlock Holmes and Watson.”

So the question is, who is Watson and who is Sherlock Holmes?

The two detectives stared at each other blankly at the same time as they discussed the issue.

Instead of winning over Okita Souji, internal strife broke out.

After the case was resolved, it was already past midnight. Jian Dan and Hattori Heizo said goodbye, and then discussed with Hattori Heiji where to go the next day before returning to the hotel.

"Xia Chuan, tell me secretly, when you were in the United States, were you part of the legendary Delta Force, or some special combat unit of the United States?"

Putting aside reasoning ability, which Kogoro Mouri believes he can do as well, Natsukawa's fighting prowess has been truly astonishing.

“No,” Xia Chuan smiled, her smile as gentle as a spring breeze. “This is probably just talent. Joel is like that too.”

"Yes."

Kogoro Mouri thought this was somewhat nonsense, but he had also heard Inspector Megure say that Joel didn't seem to be a graduate of the police academy, and his fighting ability might really be his own talent.

Is Xia Chuan the same as Yoel?
He didn't believe it; there weren't that many geniuses, it was all just the result of hard work.

"Isn't Mr. Mori the same? The shooting record he set at the police academy is still unbeaten to this day."

"You know, police academies are full of capable people. To rank first among them speaks volumes about one's abilities."

"Haha, it's all because everyone is being kind to me. Actually, I'm not that great."

That's what he said, but Kogoro Mouri still laughed out loud with his signature lisp.

He retracted his earlier thought; geniuses do exist in the world.

"If you're being modest, don't laugh like that; it's easy for people to misunderstand."

"What did you say?"

With a thud, a large bump appeared on Conan's head.

Conan was surprised that his voice was heard even though he was speaking so softly, and he could only admit that he was in the wrong.

"Okay, let's go back to our rooms and get some sleep. Everyone's tired."

Xiao Lan said softly, "I played all day today and then encountered two murder cases. I'm really exhausted."

Although she seemed to have done nothing, she at least called the police and had to keep an eye on whether Kogoro Mouri would suddenly faint and solve the case.

And Conan too, he disappears from her sight from time to time, making her worry every time.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. Early to bed will give you energy, and tomorrow will be another day full of vitality."

"It's about getting up early."

Anya was still in good spirits. She glanced at Haibara, too lazy to argue with her about the swamp gas and the earlier issues.

Tomorrow is so wonderful, I should go to sleep now, and I can play again when I wake up.

No longer sensing from her father that another case might occur tomorrow, Anya was filled with anticipation.
