Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 641 Anya's Excuse
"It's okay, go ahead and tell me."

Hearing that Xia Chuan was being honest, Anya was finally relieved. It seemed that for a long, long time to come, she could drink delicious cocoa with a clear conscience, and maybe even eat peanuts.

"When we go grocery shopping later, I'll buy you a bag of peanuts, but you can't eat them all at once."

This was Xia Chuan's last act of defiance.

“Okay ヾ(▽)ノ”

An excited Anya waved her arms vigorously.

“I just heard that the scoundrel was thinking about framing his father.” Anya suddenly became very angry again.

"What do you mean?"

"That scoundrel thought that this plan would definitely expose the spy within their organization, and wasn't that spy himself?"

Anya knew very well that Xia Chuan was a spy, so there was absolutely no problem with saying that.

Because they are children, their ability to express themselves is much worse. It took Xia Chuan half an hour of listening to the story before he could roughly make sense of it.

It turns out that the winery's gold heist was not only about getting the gold, but also about using the operation as a test.

The test is to see if intelligence will still be leaked by using a group of people who have absolutely no connection with the Japanese branch.

Judging from Torada Eita's perspective, Karasuma Renya should be quite satisfied with this test.

The gold was in hand, and the tests also revealed that there was indeed an undercover agent within the organization.

Anya didn't hear much information, but it did corroborate Xia Chuan's earlier guess.

In this way, dealing with the other party becomes much easier.

Unfortunately, Torada Eita was unaware of this conclusion, and Karasuma Renya was still planning how to find out the organization's spies.

The other party has now been completely abandoned by Karasuma Renya; there will be no rescue or assassination.

It's normal that they didn't provide a rescue or carry out an assassination; it seems Karasuma Renya has enough confidence in this group.

Such confidants are terrifying; they are almost fearless of death and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, making them a real headache.

It's unknown how many confidants like Karasuma Renya still exist, but his appearance this time is enough to put Natsukawa on guard.

"Father, should we stop being spies? It seems too dangerous, especially with Conan as a teammate. It feels like something bad could easily happen."

Anya's seriousness surprised Xia Chuan slightly.

But in just a moment, he smiled again: "Now, we are locked in a life-or-death struggle. There can only be one outcome: either he dies or I live."

"It's either him or me, it's a matter of life or death?"

Anya silently recited it once, which sounded a bit like nonsense.

“Alright then, Anya will always stand behind Father and be his strongest shield.”

"Oh right, Aunt Joel is also Father's shield, but mine is more powerful."

Anya held her head high, and she wasn't exaggerating at all. After all, besides her own superpowers, she also had a Bond.

If she ever encounters something very dangerous in the future, she will first go to Bond for a prophecy.

How can we lose this?
Xia Chuan was unaware of Anya's thoughts, only perceiving it as a daughter's affection for her father, and smiled and nodded without taking it to heart.

Since they used grocery shopping as an excuse, when Xia Chuan and Anya returned home, their hands were full of ingredients, indicating that lunch would be another delicious and satisfying meal.

Did you get any information from them?

As soon as he got home and put his things down, Joel came over to ask him something. Joel had just made a phone call to invite Yuri over for dinner, but Yuri refused. He also learned that Natsukawa had met with the prisoner that morning.

She actually only had a vague understanding of the case, but she wanted to know anything related to the winery.

"Karasuma Renya has indeed begun to suspect internal issues; they will likely take action next."

"So what do I need to do in the process?"

After opening up to each other, Joel hardly needed to think about what he should do; he only needed to wait for Xia Chuan's arrangements.

Joel's bright eyes held pure trust, a gaze that, regardless of which man was being trusted, would inspire a belief in eternal protection.

"Let's put Karasuma Renya's matter aside for now. My priority now is to take down Itakura Taku." Natsukawa rubbed his temples, then smiled and said, "Frank will give us his results soon."

"Father, don't worry. With Anya here, even if we can't find the hamster, it won't be a problem."

Anya had somehow gotten close and whispered in Xia Chuan's ear, saying that with Bond around, finding someone shouldn't be a problem.

First, give your father a heads-up: if there's any problem, he must contact you immediately.

"Don't give people nicknames casually, even if you don't know them. Don't let it become a bad habit!" Joel frowned slightly.

Have you already started exercising your rights as a mother even before you've become one?

Xia Chuan was secretly pleased, but poor Anya was suffering, spending the entire afternoon being patiently taught by Yor.

Actually, Joel himself didn't have much academic talent; Yuri was the most capable in the family, but he was a graduate of a regular university and had no problem teaching children.

Ai Haibara, of course, chose to stand by and watch; it was quite entertaining to see Anya get her comeuppance.

Now she understands why Anya always exposes Conan's secrets—it's really satisfying to see others get their comeuppance!
However, the lady certainly couldn't reveal her special fetish. After saying goodbye to Xia Chuan and the other person, she went to her laboratory.

Xia Chuan's house isn't big, but it does have a basement. Frank had it renovated a bit, and today it's officially open for business.

Ai Haibara, the only customer, was still very happy.

Since the Twilight Villa incident, she has been unable to go out normally. Professor Agasa's place is also quite far from her home. Since they can be honest with each other, moving the research lab back home is a good option.

"Why does Ai Haibara have her own studio, but I don't?"

Anya's questioning was actually a challenge.

Xia Chuan thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

What use would it be to give Anya another room?
Are you suggesting we let her store peanuts like a hamster?

The sugar and starch content is too high, which doesn't seem reasonable.

"Hmph, Anya is unhappy and wants to go upstairs to get some fresh air and calm down."

Looking at Anya's desolate figure, Joel said worriedly, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? What Ai has, Anya should also have. Even if she's useless, we should at least treat them equally."

As far back as they could remember, their parents seemed to have always treated them this way, which is why Joel and Yuri had such a good relationship.

"Need not."

Xia Chuan chuckled and shook his head. "That's fine then."

Joel couldn't see it. How could he not see it? Anya was definitely just trying to take this opportunity to get rid of Joel's incessant chatter.

It is indeed a bit long-winded, but it is for Anya's own good. Since she has a way to avoid it, Xia Chuan will not expose her.

As if hearing Xia Chuan's thoughts, Anya's steps suddenly paused, then lifted again, and after reaching the stairs, she instantly accelerated and ran to the rooftop.
