Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 676 Monitoring
Xia Chuan prided himself on his sharp eyes, but this was the first time he hadn't noticed the disguise.

Having not seen Vermouth for a long time, Xia Chuan unconsciously straightened his back and slowly leaned closer to hear her voice.

"What kind of junk eavesdropping device is this? I can't hear anything clearly."

Xia Chuan, who had just been complaining about the loud volume, shamelessly turned the radio volume up to the maximum.

"Oh dear, let me get you the towel so you can catch your breath!"

"Hoohoohoo."

Shinmei Kaori seemed to float to the surface like a drowning person, gasping for breath.

After a while, he finally came to his senses and asked in a hoarse voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Huh, you're not even going to ask who I am?"

Vermouth seemed to see a fun toy and gently stroked Kaori Shinna's head.

Shinmei Kaori's face turned pale instantly, and she lowered her head and stopped speaking.

"Come on, look at this will your father left you, and then tell me where that gold is hidden!"

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

Shinmei Kaori shook her head, her bound hands twisting and bending as she repeatedly slammed against the wall beside her, making muffled thuds.

"It's no use. Your mother has hearing problems, and besides, this is a stone wall. Isn't this just torturing herself?"

"Don't play dumb. Although your father told the organization that he had chosen a successor named Yoshiaki Daimon, we have always known that you know everything about your father."

"This suicide note seems normal, just a father's concern and farewell to his daughter, but it definitely contains coded messages that only the two of you can understand."

Shinmei Kaori was lifted to the bedside like a chick and humiliatingly pressed down in front of the bed, looking at the last thing her father left behind.

Despite his reluctance, things had come to this point, the organization's people had already appeared, and his mother was still at home. What other choice did he have but to give in?

No, unless she wants her family to be destroyed.

With no other choice, no matter how slim the chance, she could only choose to read the contents of the suicide note.

Seeing that Shinmei Kaori had begun to seriously read the suicide note, Vermouth's lips curled into a slight smile.

Taking advantage of this moment, her hand reached for her neck, and then a piece of human skin, along with her hair, was torn off.

Wearing a human skin mask is still a bit uncomfortable.

Vermouth waited patiently, and after ten minutes, she frowned: "What is the code? Don't try anything funny. You should know our methods."

Looking at Kaori Niina's expression, Vermouth had a bad feeling.

"But."

This is the fifth time Shinmei Kaori has read her suicide note.

But after reading it five times, she discovered that there were no secret messages in the suicide note.

It was as if, after her father disappeared two months ago, she wanted to find out from the faxed documents whether her father had sent her any messages.

—Nothing was gained.

This really does seem to be just an ordinary suicide note.
"The will left by my father is really just a simple will; I didn't see any secret code between us on it!"

"How can this be?"

Vermouth's face was grim, but with her actress's eye, she couldn't detect any sign that Shinmei Kaori was lying.

really?
But she didn't believe that Kaori Shinmei's acting skills could lie right under her nose. "Are you sure?"

Vermouth pressed down hard again, pinning Shinmei Kaori's neck against the edge of the bed. The already bruised back of her neck became even more painful under the pressure, almost causing her to faint.

Vermouth couldn't help but begin to suspect the police and Xia Chuan.

The police and Xia Chuan entered the room immediately. It was only after Xia Chuan came out and said something that she was allowed to go in and get the suicide note.

If Xia Chuan and the police had discovered his identity long ago, could it be that they had secretly hidden something back then?
No, that's impossible!

This is less likely than the possibility that Shinmei Kaori is lying, because she had just subtly inquired about Shinmei Kaori's mother.

That woman was just an ordinary mother who knew nothing about the organization and would never have imagined that her identity was problematic, so she couldn't lie and had no reason to lie to her daughter.

Ultimately, the biggest problem lies with Shinmeika Hori.

From her perspective, the fact that Shinmei and her father hadn't seen each other for two months was just a facade; they must still have some connection in secret. Otherwise, how could Shinmei Nittaro be so sure that the organization wouldn't harm his wife and daughter after his death?

There must be something behind it!

It must be the thing that Shinmei Niitaro used to threaten the organization!

“My father and I use a fixed code, which changes about once a year, but the overall pattern remains the same. But this will is full of normal expressions, and even when deciphered using our code rules, we can’t even make a coherent sentence.”

"What exactly are you looking for!?"

Xinming Xiangbao's heart was as white as wax, but he still had to endure the discomfort and ask questions, because only by helping the other party find what his father left behind could there be a glimmer of hope.

She lost contact with her father two months ago and knows nothing about him since.

The Black Organization suddenly came to find her. At first, she thought something had happened to her father and the Black Organization was going to kill him to cover it up.

But now it seems that this is completely wrong!
What did my father do before he died that made this organization go to such lengths? Could it be related to the "gold" that this woman just mentioned?

黄金
But there are so many banks in Tokyo, and they've been robbed countless times this year. There's gold too, but she doesn't remember any of it being related to her father or passing through his hands!
"Did you misunderstand something?"

"Misunderstand?"

Vermouth sneered and forcefully grabbed her ponytail: "Was my approach too gentle?"

"and many more!"

Despite the pain of her hair being pulled, Shinmei Kaori grimaced and said, "Yoshiro Daimon, you can go find Yoshiro Daimon!"

“Actually, I planned to look for my father when he first disappeared, but he didn’t know I existed. Taking action rashly might cause unnecessary trouble. If you really want to know something, it might be more useful to ask him. My father has entrusted almost everything to him over the years.”

"Heh, if you really trust me that much, why don't you know Yoshiro Daimon? In the end, the only person Granwitt truly trusts is you. Yoshiro Daimon is just a pawn he's using to appease us."

Vermouth gently stroked her golden hair, then tied it into a high ponytail, and rolled up her sleeves.

Shinmei Kaori watched the whole thing and naturally knew what the other party meant.

I'm getting impatient!
If I cannot provide useful information, I will probably see my father soon.

"By the way, how did you find my father? Maybe you can decipher the code on the will by finding him."

"You think I haven't tried?"

Vermouth had already tried this the moment she first saw the suicide note.

She believed that Xia Chuan had also tried, but he hadn't noticed anything.

However, this is quite normal, as using the same code word is obviously not a wise move.
