Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 619 Nagano Prefecture Trio
Xia Chuan opened the window and looked out. The police had also placed a shipping container next to the cordon to serve as a temporary office. Through the half-open container door, Xia Chuan saw Yamato Kansuke's signature cane, one of the three members of the Nagano Prefecture trio.

"Sir, are you listening to me?" The officer frowned, thinking he had encountered a tough opponent.

The police officers on guard nearby also came over, forming a subtle encirclement.

Seeing this, Conan's expression became even more serious.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

Xia Chuan, of course, did not want to cause any misunderstanding, so he only mentioned it briefly before calling Yuri.

"Brother Xia Chuan, do you know anyone in the police force?"

After the call ended, Conan asked curiously.

Why didn't Haibara tell him about this? Knowing this would have made things much easier in many situations.

Natsukawa didn't answer Conan's question, but just smiled at the police officer and said, "Someone should notify you in a bit."

The police officer looked Xia Chuan up and down with some suspicion.

He has a Western face and a well-proportioned figure. Judging from his upper body, he should be quite tall, but his expression doesn't seem to indicate that he is a police officer.

A short while later, a clanging sound came from inside the container.

Yamato Kansuke walked out of the container with his cane. He first looked up at the sky, squinting as the sun shone on his eyes, before looking towards Natsukawa.

His hair was messy, his stubble was particularly noticeable, his skin was slightly dark, and there were two long knife scars on one of his eyes. The scars, which looked like centipedes crawling, appeared especially terrifying when he frowned.

He walked out with his cane, and Conan didn't notice any bandages on his legs, as if he had been limping for a long time.

His first impression is that of a yakuza boss.

But Conan knew that the people coming out of the container were undoubtedly police officers.

Yamato Kansuke walked over slowly without saying a word. He first looked Natsukawa up and down, and then looked at Conan inside the car.

Conan flashed an innocent and adorable smile, but this smile made Yamato Kansuke frown.

"Mr. Natsukawa?"

"it's me."

"May I know why you brought a small child with you?" Yamato Kansuke asked directly.

Although the police had vouched for Xia Chuan and said he could enter, they didn't mention that he was with a child.

Judging from his age, he's probably only in first grade.

"I'm sorry, I was called here at the last minute. There's no one to take care of this child, so I brought him along."

A very perfunctory answer.

Yamato Kansuke didn't say anything, just stared straight at Natsukawa.

Xia Chuan smiled in response, but remained silent.

The two looked at each other for a while, until the police officer next to them said a few words into the walkie-talkie and then quickly came out and said, "Go in."

Yamato Kansuke didn't ask anything more, he just waved his hand and let go of the guard.

After the vehicle sped away, two more people emerged from the container.

"Strange guy, bringing a child with him to the crime scene." Yamato Kansuke muttered to himself, then asked, "Takaaki, you're so smart, can you figure out who this person is?"

He had a strange feeling about Xia Chuan, which he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"I've never seen him before, but since the police allowed him in, he must be a police officer."

With no clues and only his face, Morofushi Takaaki couldn't make any judgment, but the face did seem familiar. "Let's go take a look after we finish eating," Yamato Kansuke suggested.

Normal county police officers are not allowed to enter the crime scene to prevent the presence of an undercover agent from the opposing side, but these three were different.

After meeting with Kuroda Hei that day, they accepted his offer to join them.

It can't be considered accepting a solicitation; it's more like a part-time job.

Within their territory, be aware of a black-clad organization codenamed after alcoholic beverages.

Therefore, they were naturally distinguished from other county police officers and received certain privileges.

But this privilege also comes with danger, a sentiment that Morofushi Takamitsu deeply agrees with.

At least my younger brother, who disappeared many years ago, already speaks volumes.

That day he also asked Kuroda Heibei if there was any news about his younger brother.

Kuroda Hyōe simply shook his head.
After a long journey, Xia Chuan and his companion finally arrived at the crime scene.

The debris and wreckage had been cleaned up, but some forensic personnel were still searching for any remaining clues nearby.

As soon as Xia Chuan arrived, Yuri came to greet him.

Uncle Yuri

Conan looked at Yuri with great surprise, never expecting that this so-called brother of Joel, this so-called diplomatic official, would actually appear here.

Judging from the way others treated him, he must have a high status, perhaps even being the person in charge of the event.

When these things are put together, Yuri's identity becomes clear.

Natsukawa had never mentioned this news before, not even to Ai Haibara.

Conan didn't believe Ai Haibara didn't know, but she still didn't tell him.

So, Xia Chuan's actions today must mean he's genuinely allied with me, right?

Just as Conan was secretly pleased, Yuri glanced at him in surprise. In fact, Yuri didn't know much about Conan's situation, nor did Ai Haibara, so they didn't understand why Natsukawa would bring the other person to the crime scene.

Joel thought his younger brother might not be able to accept things easily, and that he should tell him about his own identity, as well as the identities of Anya, Ai Haibara, and Conan, one by one, rather than all at once, which might not be a good thing.

Therefore, at this point, Yuri's understanding of Conan only came from Rei Furuya. He knew that the child was quite intelligent and that if carefully nurtured, he would definitely be a good prospect for the Public Security Bureau.

Xia Chuan simply nodded and got straight to the point: "They completed the robbery within half an hour, so they must have driven off with the armored truck. Didn't you find any tire tracks?"

Anything that moves on the ground will leave traces, let alone an armored truck.

This vehicle is equipped with a lot of bulletproof materials, making it much heavier than a regular car. In addition, with the addition of gold, it will definitely leave tire tracks.

"Yes, there are, but they're worthless."

Yuri sighed regretfully: "We found the armored truck around 5 a.m.

"It was abandoned 20 kilometers away, in a forest, but when we found the armored truck, no one was there. The gold and the robbers inside had vanished without a trace."

"So that means air transport?" Conan thought seriously, then said, "Didn't they say the robbers had helicopters? Could it be that the helicopters transported the people and the gold?"

“That’s very likely, but besides air transport, sea transport is also possible. That area is adjacent to cliffs, so there might already be ships waiting there.” Yuri glanced at Conan again and answered seriously.

"So the trail ends here, right?"
