Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 640 Anya heard it
"Fine, don't tell me then, but what about your two companions?"

When mentioning his two companions, Torada Eita showed no emotion, as if it were none of his business.

"Forget it, they probably know even less than you do, and they seem to be keeping their mouths shut."

Torada Eita didn't say anything. He felt that if he talked too much with Natsukawa, he would give himself away.

Xia Chuan had just reached the door when he suddenly stopped and turned back to ask, "By the way, was the death of Kai Genjin six years ago related to you?"

"This is what I asked on behalf of Yamato Kansuke."

On the surface, this was for Yamato Kansuke, but in reality, Natsukawa wanted to confirm whether Karasuma Renya had his eye on Takeda Shingen's gold mine.

Although the Torada and Ryūo families have searched for so many years without success, it is still worth asking.

Does it matter whether it is or isn't?

"Someone has cared about something you don't care about for six years. Let's just acknowledge Officer Yamato's efforts over the past six years. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I can even tell the Public Security Bureau that you were actually the mastermind?"

Torada Eita fell silent for about ten seconds before giving a wry smile: "I killed him. I'm a professional gold hunter, so naturally I'm interested in Takeda Shingen's treasure."

"Those people didn't know that I had actually been watching them from the beginning. The reason why Torada Shigeji was able to find that treasure map-like thing was because I found it at Kai Gen's house."

"Let a few of them go ahead and search, while I can stay behind the scenes. They're just a bunch of ordinary people."

"Besides the police handbook, did you also take the treasure map?"

Does Kingsoft really exist?

Xia Chuan thought the other party wouldn't answer the two questions in a row, but unexpectedly, Torada Eita answered without hesitation.

"Who knows? Maybe the gold in the Twilight Villa is the gold mine left behind by Takeda Shingen."

In fact, Torada Eita himself didn't know and was also confused, but Nagano Prefecture was the territory of Kai Province back then, so the treasure map shouldn't be fake. The only reason it wasn't found could be that someone else got it beforehand.

Torada Eita did not answer, but remained silent.

"I will suggest that the police take the blame for you and close the case, as a reward for your honesty."

Xia Chuan left just like that, departing with a meaningful air under the puzzled gaze of Torada Eita.

As he recalled the last look Natsukawa gave him, Torada Eita's heart suddenly trembled.

Those eyes seemed to see right through a person's heart.

This communication, which seemed to have yielded no results, was actually quite fruitful.

This resolved some of Xia Chuan's doubts and confirmed his guess.

However, further verification is still needed.

"how's it going?"

Yuri did not listen to what the two were saying, and Natsukawa often spoke with his back to the monitor, so he could only understand a little bit of his lip reading.

"You really can't get anything out of this kind of person. She even has suicidal thoughts. When I came out just now, I saw her holding the paper cup on the table in her hand."

Yuri shrugged it off: "What can a paper cup do? It's not like it can suffocate you."

"I do not know then."

Xia Chuan waved his hand, "I'm leaving first. Since we can't find anything, this is the only way."

"The gold is probably irretrievable, and it's best to close the case of Torata Eita here and not investigate it too deeply."

"why?"

"The Twilight Villa has a significant impact. Tell your undercover agents to be less active recently, and it's best to avoid any activity to prevent unnecessary suspicion."

Yuri stared intently at Xia Chuan's retreating figure, his face showing an unprecedented solemnity.

If what Xia Chuan said is true, then the case should indeed be closed as soon as possible.

Torada Eita should either execute her secretly or keep her imprisoned forever. Meanwhile, Natsukawa's words carried a deeper meaning; he must have discovered something.

It wasn't said explicitly, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

However, half an hour later.

Xia Chuan reappeared at the shopping mall.

However, this time he didn't go to Yuri; he was holding a child's hand with him.

"Father, I want to drink cocoa, otherwise I won't be able to hear your thoughts," Anya said earnestly, stating her request.

"no problem."

I found a random spot in the coffee shop and ordered Anya her favorite cocoa, the kind with sugar.

In Xia Chuan's eyes, listening to one's innermost thoughts does indeed consume a lot of mental and physical energy, so adding sugar would help.

Hearing what Xia Chuan was thinking, Anya nodded silently in her heart.

Since her father didn't know, she could continue to use this excuse to drink super sweet cocoa.

Just thinking about it made her face flush and reveal a satisfied smile.

"Guru Guru~"

Feeling great!

She had hardly gone out during this period, and Xia Chuan had been controlling her sugar intake. After holding back for so long, she was finally able to have a hot drink.

She downed almost half a cup in one gulp, patted her stomach with satisfaction, and Anya was in an extremely good mood. She was instantly full of energy and almost jumped onto the table to tell Xia Chuan: I will definitely be able to eavesdrop successfully!

Fortunately, Xia Chuan discovered Anya's shameful behavior in time and immediately held her down, covering her mouth: "This is a secret war between spies. You absolutely cannot tell anyone else, and you must not make a loud noise in public."

“Father, Anya understands.”

The moment the word "spy" was mentioned, Anya immediately became serious, her eyes becoming furtive, and she looked at everyone as if they were bad guys.

Other customers who were also drinking coffee nearby turned to look at what was happening.

Although Anya is strange, she is undeniably cute. Who could resist such an adorable little girl?

Everything unreasonable can be forgiven; that round, chubby face, I just want to rub it.

"Alright, you've had your fill. Now it's time to get back to work!"

"Ok."

Anya sat upright, slowly closed her eyes, and began searching based on Xia Chuan's description.

Since it was only a little past ten in the morning, there weren't many people in the coffee shop, which reduced Anya's stress.

However, without having seen the person beforehand, it was still quite difficult. It took Anya more than ten minutes to find the Torada Eida that Natsukawa had described.

Once she found it, she immediately began to listen attentively to her inner voice.

Just then, Yuri went to report the situation to Kuroda Hyōe, and Torada Eita took the opportunity to organize his thoughts, which Anya overheard.

Another ten minutes or so passed before Anya finally opened her eyes.

"how's it going?"

Xia Chuan asked curiously.

"Yes, I overheard a secret." Her tone was somewhat uncertain.

Because listening to one's inner voice only allows one to hear another's thoughts, but not to see their memories, Anya didn't know if the information she received would be useful to her father.

Before speaking, he added a supplementary clause: "Although I heard it, I can't guarantee that it's what Father wants to know. Even if it isn't, Father can't be angry!"
