Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 642 The worst time Conan was ever smeared

Without Anya and Ai Haibara's interference, Natsukawa wanted to take this opportunity to discuss life philosophy with Yoel.

Unexpectedly, a voice broke the peaceful afternoon.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, are you home?"

There was a knock on the door downstairs, along with Conan's signature baby voice.

"Conan, why is he here? Did he discover something again?" Joel asked with slight concern.

Based on what I heard from Yuri, and my own experience in Nishitama City, Conan is really a headache.

I'm a little worried that Xia Chuan might get scammed.

"I'll go down and take a look. You follow Anya; the rooftop is too empty."

Conan downstairs was getting impatient. Not hearing a reply, he silently took out his detective badge from his pocket.

He certainly wasn't trying to contact Anya or Ai Haibara.

With a "clang," the pin on the detective badge popped out.

"There's nothing I can do. They haven't given me a reply. Something might have happened, and I can't just ignore it."

Although he only knocked on the door once and called out once, the sound was so loud that Xia Chuan couldn't possibly have missed it.

He had to go in to make sure the Xia Chuan family was safe; he definitely didn't want to know if Xia Chuan was conducting any secret investigation.

The safety pin has already pierced the keyhole.

The moment it was inserted, Conan suddenly felt the badge twist, as if the pin was being attracted by something, like a magnet, and he couldn't pull it out.

"Strange, why is there a magnet inside the door lock? Is it some kind of high-tech door?"

Just as he was pondering the reason, Conan suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his fingers.

"Wait"

Realizing it might be an electric current, Conan tried to pull his hand away.

However, his reaction was still too slow.

An even stronger tingling sensation spread from his fingers to his entire body. Almost at the same time, the hair on his head stood on end, and his body trembled violently.

"smoke"

I can't pull it out!

Conan's inner voice screamed wildly!
A plume of black smoke billowed from his body, his skin was visibly charred, and his teeth were chattering and almost shattering.

In just a few seconds, his mind went completely blank.

"Click."

The door opened from the inside out, and the agonizing electric shock instantly subsided.

"What is the taste."

As soon as the door opened, a burnt smell hit his nose, and Xia Chuan frowned while unable to suppress his curiosity.

Looking up, Conan was lying straight down, like a hard wooden sculpture.

If it weren't for his labored breathing, Natsukawa would have thought Conan was dead.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Xia Chuan quickly squatted down to check.

Just as his hand was about to touch it, Xia Chuan saw the flash of electric arc and immediately withdrew his hand.

Looking at the detective badge that had been completely shattered on the ground, Xia Chuan could only click his tongue twice in a sigh.

"Why did you have to force the door open? Would it kill you to wait for me? Don't you know Anya just changed the locks?"

Natsukawa remembered that Anya had said that.

“Kaito always opens the door himself when he comes to our house, which is a bad habit. I want to help him correct this problem.” Thus, this electric door lock was created.

Anyone who tries to open the door with anything other than the external key will incur the wrath of the Thunder.

Of course, this lightning strike wasn't fatal; it was just enough to stun a high school student.

Conan happens to fall within this standard.

"puff--"

Thick black smoke billowed from Conan's mouth. He was certain this was the worst he had ever been mocked.

And it's really dark.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Anya lying on the rooftop safety net, looking down. Her whole face was pressed against the net, and even the net couldn't contain her gloating smile.

Wait for me!

Conan made a silent vow, but in the blink of an eye, he composed himself, and even the blackening of his body disappeared completely in an instant. His hair hung down casually, and he returned to his previous state.

However, the way he walked with a limp proved that Xia Chuan had not misjudged him.

Without any hesitation, Xia Chuan carried Conan inside.

He's in such a precarious state that he can barely walk; it's better to carry him so he can walk faster.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Conan gave a grateful look and then immediately explained his purpose.

"How's it going, Natsukawa-nii? Did you get anything out of Torada Eita?"

Conan could understand why Yuri didn't want him involved, but the main reason was that Yuri didn't know who he was. Although he was still a minor, he was the famous detective Shinichi Kudo.

I don't mean to compare myself to anyone, but his track record is verifiable; there are really very few people in all of Japan who can compare to him.

Perhaps the only one who can be compared to him is his own unfortunate old man.

"This is very serious!"

Xia Chuan had a very serious expression, and he was organizing his thoughts, trying to figure out a way to get rid of Conan.

That's enough. There's no benefit for Conan to continue investigating the distillery; it needs to be stopped.

"What do you mean? Does this mean other cases have been uncovered, or has the winery infiltrated a secret police base?"

The little body sprang up from the sofa and looked at Xia Chuan with disbelief.

"Aren't you overthinking it? What I mean is, Torata Eita didn't say a word. He just gritted his teeth and refused to budge, firmly pinning the blame for the robbery on himself."

"Damn it, no wonder it was so quiet on the way back to Tokyo. There was no prison break. Gin and the others must have already made sure that Torada Eita would stick to his guns."

"However, they were so decisive this time, easily abandoning their teammates. Won't this cause morale to plummet?"

"You're being too naive. Distilleries have never been legitimate businesses. Do you expect them to operate according to the rules and provide their employees with social insurance and housing fund benefits?"

"That's not what I meant." Conan rolled his eyes helplessly. "At a time like this, Natsukawa-nii, please stop joking."

"what"

He suddenly realized that Xia Chuan should be the most anxious person, since it concerned the winery, and Xia Chuan currently had a major conflict with the winery, which was also exposed in the open. He should be the one who needed to destroy the winery more than him.

"I know, Natsukawa-ge, you must have discovered some important secret on the computer, right?"

Conan suddenly realized something and asked with great joy, "Tell me quickly, I can try to deduce it."

After a long pause, Xia Chuan said, "I'll give you a virus program. Go back and give it to Dr. Agasa to study. This program is related to the brewery."

"However, be careful. If the computer's firewall is not strong enough, it may be invaded by viruses. I think Dr. Agasa would not be able to accept the blow of his computer being destroyed. It is important to do a good job of prevention."

After saying that, he handed a USB drive to Conan.

This is probably the best way to temporarily keep Conan's attention away from Eita Torada.

He knew Dr. Agasa's software skills very well; they were quite good, but he couldn't crack the virus in a short time. By the time he did, Itakura Taku would probably have already been secretly detained by him.
