Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 634 Misunderstandings in Thinking
As chat messages and various photos popped up, Xia Chuan also saw through the secrets hidden in this computer.

"This is!"

Frank's eyes narrowed as he saw page after page of chat logs. "Could this boss be Karasuma Renya from the brewery?"

The chat logs were very concise, showing that Torata Eita maintained a stable relationship with a mysterious person whose profile picture was a crow.

In the last ten days or so, the chat has become much more frequent, including a lot of document sharing. Unfortunately, these documents are destroyed immediately after being read, so you can only see the records and cannot click to view them.

However, Xia Chuan guessed that it was probably about the specific plan for the gold robbery.

"Is this case related to the winery?"

Frank's question was also Xia Chuan's question.

He didn't answer Frank, but instead carefully browsed the information.

The chat history only includes data from the past month. It seems that the data on the computer is automatically deleted every month. Even if Xia Chuan uses recovery technology, he still cannot find data and chat history older than one month.

However, from the chat logs over the past month, Xia Chuan has already learned that Torada Eita is indeed one of the members of the brewery.

Without a code name, he was sent to the Torada family by Karasuma Renya more than twenty years ago, primarily for two reasons:
The first reason was naturally the Twilight Villa. Although no gold was found, Karasuma Renya did not give up completely. Instead, she kept Torata Eita as a thorn in Nagano Prefecture. Almost every now and then, she would go to the vicinity of the Twilight Villa to investigate.

"I see. No wonder the distillery was able to find a suitable lookout position immediately after arriving near the Twilight Villa. It seems that Torada Eita played a significant role in it."

Xia Chuan nodded slightly, which resolved his small question about why Karasuma Renya had been able to find such a suitable lookout point when he discovered her.

Besides the Twilight Villa, Torata Eita had a second purpose.

That was Takeda Genshin's gold mine.

As a prominent Japanese family that has continued uninterrupted for hundreds of years, the Karasuma family has some knowledge of Takeda Shingen's treasure and is certain that Takeda Shingen's treasure does indeed exist in Nagano Prefecture.

The Ryūo and Torada families were both retainers of Takeda Shingen hundreds of years ago.

After the Takeda clan's eventual decline and eventual disappearance, Karasuma Renya suspected that the two families might have some connection, which is why he chose the Torada clan as his infiltration target.

Unfortunately, Torada Eita's infiltration failed. Jinshan was not found, and Twilight Villa became a pawn in Natsukawa's hands when she was off guard, ultimately leading to Karasuma Renya almost falling into danger.

In addition, by copying the virus software left in the information and using Noah's Ark's reverse tracing technology, Xia Chuan finally obtained the download source of the Torada Eida computer virus and firewall.

"Gunma?!" ×2
The location was clearly illuminated by a bright red light on the map, and Xia Chuan and Frank looked at each other.

"This address in Gunma Prefecture was in the information you gave me before, so it seems to be related to the brewery. However, this location seems to be just a temporary base. I investigated it before, and there was no one there each time."

Actually, these are all minor issues. Frank isn't a fool; that's not the point.

Why was Natsukawa unaware of such a massive gold heist, and why was there no movement at all within the entire winery base? What kind of power did Karasuma Renya utilize?

Where does this fighting power come from? Does Karasuma Renya have some hidden strength?
His expression was somewhat serious. "If this really is a distillery, does that mean your identity has been exposed?"

"It's not certain yet, but the sudden disappearance of Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth is indeed very strange." In fact, even if the tequila persona hadn't been discovered, it's certain that Karasuma Renya harbors a great deal of distrust towards the Japanese branch.

The reason is obvious; it must be the aftermath of the Twilight Villa incident.

However, judging from his current actions, Karasuma Renya has not yet conducted an internal investigation.

This further convinced Natsukawa that Gin had some kind of health problem and that a formal investigation would likely only begin once Gin recovered.

However, this action is already a signal, and perhaps also a test by Karasuma Renya.

Judging from the current situation, the police are already somewhat disorganized, and he is completely unaware of the situation.

Two aspects were enough for Karasuma Renya to confirm his guess.

What adjustments will Karasuma Renya make to the internal workings of Japan next?

His attitude towards Rumi Wakasa is also noteworthy.

It's related to scholars, such a highly sought-after opportunity, Natsukawa doesn't believe the other party would miss out on Wakasa Rumi, and perhaps Karasuma Renya has already made a move.

He had always thought that all orders had to go through Gin and even the distillery base, but now it seemed that he had fallen into a misconception.

Yes, how could Karasuma Renya be at ease if he didn't have his own elite troops?

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and, through firewall and virus detection, determined that the software likely originated from Itakura Taku, which might be a breakthrough.

Perhaps by using Itakura Taku's computer, we can investigate the team that Karasuma Renya himself led, and even find Karasuma Renya himself!
Although he had hardly seen Itakura Taku since taking over Tequila's identity, he had seen a lot of the other party's software and was very familiar with the other party's virus and firewall styles.

This virus and firewall could never be anyone else but him.

"Should I try to find them, or have the IRS and FBI coordinate again to shut down a few distillery bases?"

"There's absolutely no need to alert them. Karasuma Renya doesn't have much time left. He's even more anxious than we are. He'll definitely find the mole as quickly as possible, otherwise he wouldn't dare to take action against Wakasa Rumi."

The Twilight Villa incident not only cost Karasuma Renya hundreds of billions of yen, but also resulted in the death of a codenamed member, and Gin also ran into trouble. He must be acting like a mad dog right now.

If action is taken against the distillery's premises, who knows what unexpected things he might do.

It's better to remain silent and investigate slowly; wasps that don't sting are the most effective deterrent.

"However, this means he won't have time to pay attention to you and Joel for the time being."

“That’s right, but we can’t let our guard down with Anya and Ai Haibara. Joel and I can handle it on our own, but you need to keep an eye on the two kids.”

Xia Chuan certainly didn't completely trust the police. Yuri, in the name of the municipal government, donated a large number of on-campus surveillance cameras to Teitan Elementary School, and all of these cameras were connected to his home.

In addition, the only way home is also surrounded by surveillance cameras. Even from angles that Conan can't notice, the Junior Detective League is actually under Natsukawa's surveillance.
