Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 684: There must be too many red lights.
Shinichiro has been staying at his house for the past few days; it's something he has no choice but to do to take care of Shinmei and her daughter.

If things go well, we might be able to send Shinmei Kaori to Kyoto tomorrow, which will speed up the progress in Natsukawa.

Upon learning of the situation, Shinichi immediately turned on the surveillance camera and began reviewing the video footage from the past half hour.

When he saw Anya and Ai Haibara sneaking into the van and driving away shakily, a very obvious look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"."

"Mr. Frank, you might not believe it!"

"What's going on? Tell me!"

Frank was frantic; the disappearance of the two little girls and the theft of the van were both serious matters.

That's an armored car, a powerful tool provided by the IRS.

It's fine to have the IRS send it again, but we also need to consider the time cost. There's a lot going on lately, and we might need it someday. Maybe tomorrow he'll need to drive Shinmei Kaori to Kyoto.

“I just saw Anya and Ai Haibara sneak into your van, and then the van was driven away.”

"Guess how this car moved?"

Shinichiro was still in the mood for jokes at this point, while Frank wished he could kick the other man's head off.

Considering the car doesn't have any autonomous driving capabilities, there's probably only one possibility.
Two kids drove his car away!

Even though he had already confirmed it in his mind, Frank still couldn't imagine the scene, just like hearing a group of sows line up to jump into a ditch.

Is Shinichiro blind, or is there something wrong with his ears?
"It's true, I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, come back and check the security footage. It was Mr. Natsukawa's two kids who stole your van."

"By the way, Mr. Frank, why didn't you take the keys out of the car and lock the door when you got out?"

"How was I supposed to know it would turn out like this? I was just thinking of picking them up and heading back."

Frank rubbed his afro vigorously. Since it had already happened, it seemed he had no choice but to accept his fate.

"Don't tell Xia Chuan about this yet. Wait for me to get back. There's a GPS tracker installed in the car, so I can still find it."

Fortunately, the car was equipped with a GPS tracker. Given enough time, he'll definitely be able to find those two troublemakers.

Ai Haibara is really something else. She's already eighteen years old, so why is she still doing this with Anya?

However, because he knew Ai Haibara's real age and guessed that it was most likely Ai Haibara who was driving, he didn't immediately lose his temper.

I rushed back to the villa and, upon finding the location signal, also saw the surveillance footage.

Seeing that the two little girls had noticed her, Ai Haibara retreated to the stairwell of the Mouri Detective Agency. After she entered the room, Ai climbed into the driver's seat, and Anya got into the passenger seat.

"I said."

Shinichi Abe interrupted Frank's thoughts with his voice.

"Even if they can drive, given their height, why should they be allowed to drive the car away?"

The child's height is less than the waist of an adult male. Anya and Ai Haibara's height is even only a head taller than the knee of a normal adult. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be able to press the accelerator while sitting in the driver's seat.

"This is indeed a question worth considering, but your focus right now is to take good care of Xinming and her daughter. Don't worry about other things for now."

He would never tell Shinichiro that because of his height, the accelerator, clutch, and brake pedals of the vehicle had been specially raised so that he could easily press them.

It might be a little difficult for a child, but they can definitely manage to step on it.

He was even mocked by Natsukawa for this, so naturally he wouldn't tell Shinide Tomoaki.

Shinichiro would certainly not dare to openly mock him, but it's still possible he'd do it secretly.

In order to maintain his image of being of high moral standing, he declined to answer the question.

"Strange, where are these two kids headed?" Frank wondered, staring at the red dot heading north. "Are they planning to go skiing in Hokkaido during their vacation?"

"That's quite possible. Maybe they thought Mr. Natsukawa went out to play without them, so they ran off on their own."

"That wouldn't warrant stealing a car, would it? Besides, Ai Haibara is definitely not that kind of person." Frank shook his head slightly, indicating his disbelief.

However, regardless of the circumstances, they had to be stopped at this point. It was too dangerous for two children to be driving, even though Ai Haibara was actually eighteen years old.

On the other side, Ai Haibara, a female driver who appears to be five years old but is actually eighteen, is looking intently ahead.

The rolling traffic, like a tidal wave, made Ke Xuejia, who was driving for the first time, feel slightly nervous.

She happened to be at a red light, but she suppressed her anxiety and pulled the handbrake.

To be honest, I'm still a little worried.

Although I had a driver's license in my past life, it was a fake document issued by Vodka.

She can drive because she watched racing videos and used her intelligence to complete the operation.

As we drove on, the number of vehicles around us increased, and my heart pounded faster.

"I remember that if we were going from Beika Town to Kyoto, we should be able to leave the city and reach the prefectural road that borders Yamanashi Prefecture in no time. Why are we still in the city after an hour?"

"There must be too many red lights."

Anya found a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and put them on. With one hand pushing up the glasses and the other pointing to the map spread out in front of her, she looked like a learned old scholar.

"Where are we now?"

Out of curiosity, Ai Haibara asked a question.

She had absolutely no recollection of where the car was located.

Having lived in Beika for a long time, I'm quite familiar with the surrounding Beika and Beika towns, but for some reason today, the roads feel unfamiliar.

At first, she thought it was driving affecting her mindset, but now that the car is stopped, she's getting more and more confused.

"Uh"

Anya's finger slid across the map, then suddenly stopped: "This is it. We're right here now, at Beika Sixth Avenue."

Ai Haibara's face darkened, as if she had a premonition of something.

Anya's movements were noticeably hesitant, as if she didn't know where she was at all.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, Beika Sixth Avenue is right next to Beikacho Central Park, but there is no park in sight.

"The location you pointed to, although it has traffic lights, is not an intersection. We are at an intersection right now!"

Despite her doubts, Ai Haibara explained earnestly until she noticed that the text on the map in Anya's hand was upside down.
"and many more!"

"Take a look at the map upside down."

Anya was unaware of what was going on, but her guilty conscience made her obedient, so she nodded obediently and rotated the map 180 degrees.

"Wow, so that's how it is! I was wondering why these words were upside down!" Anya looked surprised, but dared not look people in the eye.

"!!?"

She is five years old in terms of physical age, but Ai Haibara suspects that her blood pressure is already too high.

Hemorrhage!
If she were at home, she would definitely take out the clothes rack and then slap Anya's butt a few times!
Even though they didn't know the route, they still pointed randomly.
