Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 635 Itakura Taku

One Frank was definitely not enough, so a new doctor was also pulled out to work.

Even so, there are still some limitations.

Xia Chuan even considered hiring people.

Perhaps that young swordsman would be a good choice, but the other party probably wouldn't agree.

As for the others, it's difficult for a spy to completely trust someone. It seems that apart from the Mori family, Kaito, Hattori, and others, there are very few people he can trust.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention."

“By the way,” Frank suggested, “why don’t you want to postpone your trip to the distillery base?”

"How can that be? If I don't show up for a long time, wouldn't that be like protesting too much? As long as Gin isn't around, I have to show up there occasionally, at least to reduce suspicion."

"So how do you plan to resolve this?"

Xia Chuan knew that Frank was referring to the danger of his identity being exposed.

"It's safe for the time being."

"But we still need to find an undercover agent if you want to continue."

Frank suddenly paused, then asked in surprise, "You already have a scapegoat target?"

Xia Chuan didn't speak, but turned to look out the window.

The sky was dark, with the only light coming from the last rays of the setting sun on the city horizon.

The twilight hour was infinitely beautiful.

"Yes, it is, it just depends on whether he cooperates."

Leaving behind this meaningful remark, Xia Chuan had already left Frank's house.

"Spying is indeed more interesting, but unfortunately I don't have that talent."

Frank shook his head and smiled, pursing his lips.

This is Xia Chuan's personal charm; he can always find the problem in the details and always find a way to solve it.

Gunma Prefecture

As Xia Chuan walked slowly down the road, he suddenly remembered that he had left Conan alone in another city when he passed by the Kudo residence.

Pick up your phone and dial Conan's number.

"So, has Torata Eita been found?"

Natsukawa still has some confidence in Conan, but things won't be so easy once the alcohol factory is involved.

"We lost track of them after we reached Gunma Prefecture. The car was abandoned in the outskirts of Gunma. Judging from the tracks, they probably went into the mountains, but we can't be sure if they changed cars."

Conan looked very disappointed.

"By the way, Natsukawa-nii, how's it going on your end? There can't be nothing on Torada Eita's computer, right?!"

"We have found some information. I have also investigated Gunma, but it is not related to Torada Eita. It is related to the virus and firewall on her computer."

"What?! We're looking for Torada Eita, and you've actually taken a liking to a virus?"

Conan looked up at the dark sky. They were trying to find traces of Torada Eita, while Natsukawa was being controlled by the virus and firewall, which made him feel like a laborer. However, being trusted like this seemed to be a pretty good feeling.

“We have asked the mountain police officers in Gunma Prefecture to cooperate in the search of the mountains. A lot of checkpoints have also been set up on the surrounding roads. If we are lucky, we may be able to stop them.”

“First Nagano, then Gunma. I just heard Uncle Yuri say that the two people who died during the day were from Yamanashi Prefecture. I suspect that after the robbery, the gold was in one of these three places.”

Nagano, Gunma, and Yamanashi form an almost triangular shape, interconnected. According to Conan's guess, could Karasuma Renya be in one of these three places?

But how do you explain Tottori Prefecture?

Before he even traveled through time, he gathered a lot of information from online rumors, and many people pointed to Karasuma Renya's whereabouts in Tottori.

Shaking his head to discard these chaotic thoughts, he knew that Karasuma Renya's situation required a gradual approach, not something that could be accomplished overnight. He needed to wait patiently and find an opportunity to strike at the root of the problem; this was his way of doing things.

"Don't you rule out Nagano? After all, they committed the robbery here. They can't possibly be waiting for the police to arrest them," Xia Chuan asked after thinking for a moment.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. I know nothing about this group right now, but judging from the multiple car changes today, they are very cunning. I can't rule out the possibility of them launching a surprise attack."

“That makes some sense. Letting you track it down was the right choice.”

"Haha, it's alright."

Conan smiled smugly, as it was rare for him to be praised by Natsukawa.

"And Natsukawa-nii, didn't you just say that you found Gunma Prefecture through the computer? If I'm not mistaken, it's Mount Takeshi in the western suburbs of Gunma, right? We're right here now, which means they probably didn't realize we knew we were here. Maybe they never even thought that someone would notice the license plate."

At this point, Conan felt smug again, because he noticed someone's strange expression while looking at the abandoned car, and only after asking him did he get this important information.

This detail was something even Yuri, a public security officer, hadn't noticed.

Therefore, the famous detective Shinichi Kudo is quite skilled; even the Public Security Bureau is not as good as him.

“It is indeed this mountain. I’ll leave the rest of the area to you. I’ll see if I can find any other clues in the computer data.”

That's what they say, but Natsukawa knows that if the installer was Itakura Taku, then he shouldn't be there right now.

It's unclear whether Torata Eita's appearance there was a coincidence or if they intended to use Itakura Taku's base for rest and recuperation.

He is now more interested in Itakura Taku and doesn't want to miss this important clue that could lead to information about Karasuma Renya.

In the original storyline, Itakura Suguru was threatened into developing a certain software, and in the end, because of his supposed concern for the world, he planned to take the money from the brewery and run away to a place where there was no brewery to live in seclusion.

However, after this period of infiltration and investigation, Xia Chuan discovered that the real Itakura Taku was not that kind of person. After being threatened by the liquor company two years ago, he had already been completely brought under their control. In addition to researching the software that Xia Chuan still hasn't been able to find out, he was also involved in the liquor company's virus and firewall research.

He can be considered an important software research member of the organization.

However, he still has a long way to go compared to the researchers who developed and continuously updated the Dark Baron virus. The reason he was recruited as an important software researcher is probably because of the hole that Qingshan has never filled, namely the special software whose function has never been revealed.

After Hara Yoshiaki's betrayal and death, there were very few truly high-end software researchers left in the Japanese branch. Itakura Taku gradually became the mainstay of the software base. He used to have a relatively free life, but now he spends almost all his time at the Sakae Corporation's software base.

If it weren't for his eye and heart problems, Gin would love for him to work 24/7.

Speaking of which, it seems like Natsukawa hasn't seen him for a long time since Gin rearranged the locations of the various bases in Tokyo.

"It seems I really should ask Itakura Taku about the situation."
