Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 675 There's a problem with Shinmei Kaori!

Of course, Xia Chuan's unhappiness had little to do with him.

It was because he had already arrived home and was enjoying his wife's delicious meal, but before he could even take a couple of bites, Kogoro Mouri's nagging phone call came again.

Honestly, he needs a vacation. During this time, he should try to find a way to send Kogoro Mouri away from Tokyo and give the entire Third Division a short break.

"Please don't tell anyone about what happened today. Although Shinmei Nittaro may not be directly related to the Public Security Bureau case, it could still cause unnecessary trouble if it gets out."

"I know."

Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure both nodded.

"Hey, Uncle Xia Chuan, what's going on? Can you give me a straight answer?"

Conan was absolutely furious.

All that hard work every day was for nothing, and in the end, I knew nothing at all.

Why is Natsukawa hiding this from me when it's clearly a case related to the winery?

He is the famous detective Shinichi Kudo and the man behind the sleeping detective. Shouldn't these two identities attract Natsukawa's attention?

Why are kids asking so many questions?

Xia Chuan chuckled and patted Conan's head, offering no explanation. With others present, he doubted Conan would dare do anything excessive.

Besides, Kogoro Mouri is here now, which provides a restraining buff.

Not long after, the mother and daughter, Xinming, came out of the room, followed by the attending physician.

No clues were found on Shinmei Niitaro's body, but he did leave a suicide note for Shinmei Kaori, although the contents of the note were unclear.

Moreover, Yuri only wanted to ask about the methods of the crime; the victim was no longer of any value after death.

"I have already examined the body."

Seeing Xia Chuan walk in again, Yuri shook his head and looked out at the bustling traffic. He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "When I found out about Shinmei Nittarou, I thought he had been kidnapped by people who robbed gold. I never expected that after going through all this trouble to find him, this would be the result."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

A strange light flashed in Natsukawa's eyes, but he did not reveal what had happened to Yoshiaki Daimon.

He obtained the clue through a fax, while Yuri found the attending physician through Shinmei Nittaro's medical records and then searched the hotel check-in records using the attending physician's identity information.

The two arrived at the hotel together, but their purposes were different.

Yuri did indeed want to ask about the methods used by the robbers in the gold heist, just as Xia Chuan had said.

Natsukawa, on the other hand, came specifically for Shinmei Nittaro himself.

He came full of enthusiasm but left disappointed—that's how Yuri described himself.

After Yuri left, Conan tried to get closer, but Ran grabbed his hand.

"Alright Conan, now that the case is solved, let's go home."

"No, I want to go with Uncle Xia Chuan. He can take me home later!"

"Probably not."

Xia Chuan walked wearily to the door, pretending to rub his forehead: "I might have to go back to the hospital later, so I probably won't be able to go home until tomorrow."

"How about I become your caregiver?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan's face darkened. Putting aside the fact that he was just making a casual remark, if it were true, it would definitely be Joel who was taking care of him.

If Joel and I were snuggling sweetly in bed in the hospital room, and Conan were standing there like a third wheel, I'd rather be killed!

Sensing an inexplicable murderous aura, Conan shivered, and before he knew it, Ran had swept him up in her arms.

"Xia Chuan-ge, we'll be going now!"

"Go on, be careful on your way home."

"Don't worry!" Kogoro Mouri patted his chest forcefully. "But before that, I need to take Niina and her daughter back first."

The famous detective displayed his gentlemanly manners. Unfortunately, Kaori Shinmei was still immersed in the grief of her father's death, clutching the suicide note and shedding tears.

The sky is dotted with stars, and the lights on the ground are dim.

The GTR drove aimlessly through the streets of Beika. Xia Chuan sat in the driver's seat, glancing at the screen next to him from time to time. A red dot on the screen flashed once every second.

The GTR may seem aimless, but it actually follows certain patterns.

That's right, the pattern is the position of this red dot.

Keep a distance of about two or three blocks from the red dot, try to observe the other party's position, and ensure that you are not detected.

"Let me see what you really want to do."

My memory goes back to an hour ago.

When Xia Chuan came out of room 2407 and allowed Shinmei Kaori to enter, he gently patted her on the shoulder.

In that instant, a location tracking and eavesdropping device was installed.

The device is smaller than a button and is located on the shoulder near the collar, just covered by the collar.

The reason for targeting Shinmei Kaori is not because Natsukawa is idle or wants to become a wolf in mochi.

—Because Anya discovered that there was something wrong with the new name, Kaori!

Even back in the hospital ward, Anya had already noticed something was wrong with Shinmei Kaori.

As for what the problem was, Anya didn't hear much, only that this older sister had a big problem.

Natsukawa completely believed Anya's true feelings.

Although the information may not always be expressed accurately, it should not be to the point of misinterpreting other people's true feelings.

While letting Shinmei Kaori into the room and make contact with Shinmei Niitaro's corpse, Natsukawa also had other ulterior motives.

If Shinmei Kaori is also from the brewery, then she should take action after confirming her father's death.

If she isn't.
It can't be that it isn't. If there's a problem, what else could it be besides someone from the winery?
"Go home?"

The car silently pulled over to the side of the road, the listening device was turned on, and the radio played a conversation between Shinmei Kaori and her mother.

The two had no problems during their conversation, mainly discussing the arrangements for the funeral and the follow-up issues regarding Detective Samonji.

After chatting for about half a day, the radio suddenly went silent.

Then came the sound of footsteps, "tap tap tap".

Frank's eavesdropping and location device is great in every way, except that its sound pickup capability is too strong.

The radio stopped for a while after the "click" of the door opening.

After a long time, just when Xia Chuan thought his eavesdropping had been discovered, a sound finally came again.

This time, the secret of Shinmei Kahori has finally been revealed.

"Miss Shinmei, I'm so sorry, your father is dead."

It was clearly Kaori Shinmei's voice, yet she was saying nonsensical things, as if she weren't the one speaking at all.

"But don't worry, I've already met your father while using your appearance. He died peacefully, with his wife and attending physician by his side. He didn't die in pain."

"woooooo"

The sound of a girl sobbing clearly came through the radio.

"Damn, it's Vermouth!"

When she spoke the second sentence, the woman's voice underwent a huge change, becoming very charming. Xia Chuan was very familiar with this voice; it was Vermouth, who had disappeared for some time!

"Could it be that eating Yor's cooking has made their eyesight worse?"
