Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 686 Meeting an acquaintance
"Fine, I'll give you the locator. Anya and Ai Haibara are yours to take care of. I'll look after Shinna and her daughter."

Frank thought about it for a long time before finally making this decision.

Shinichiro is still trustworthy. Although he can be a bit eccentric at times, he's generally reliable. Entrusting the two kids to him shouldn't be a problem.

Shinichiro paused for a moment, but quickly nodded: "Don't worry, I'll drive after them. With the tracking device, it shouldn't be difficult. Wait for my good news."

Having spent a lot of time with Frank Natsukawa, Tomoaki Shinichi has become much more decisive and efficient. Although he has lost the initial idea of ​​thinking of himself as the protagonist, he still feels like he is a member of the main character group.

Saving a little kid is such a simple task!
"By the way, Xinming and her daughter have woken up. I've told them about the situation and asked them to stay in their room to rest for now."

After briefly explaining the situation of the mother and daughter, Shinichiro turned and left.

Seeing the other party's confident demeanor, Frank could only shake his head. Ai Haibara and Anya were not easy to deal with, and he hoped that Tomoaki Shinichi wouldn't be led astray.

At Professor Agasa's house not far away, the three little ones had eaten and drunk their fill, and were tired from playing games. They even took the time to visit the Natsukawa and Mori families.

Not finding Conan and his two companions, they immediately felt a pang of jealousy, convinced that the three of them must have gone out to play behind their backs.

The most mature of the three, Mitsuhiko, suspected that Professor Agasa knew something about the disappearance of Conan and the others. So the three kids surrounded Professor Agasa and interrogated him about the whereabouts of Conan and the others.

Let’s not mention this matter for now.

In Kyoto, Natsukawa and Yoel finally arrived before 2 PM.

The group from the brewery did not travel together. Gin only told the codenamed members the location of a base and instructed them to be there by the end of the day.

Therefore, after arriving in Kyoto, Natsukawa did not rush to the base, but instead took Yole around.

Kyoto holds immense cultural value in Japan. This city has played a crucial strategic role in every era of history and boasts numerous buildings dating back to the Edo period, giving visitors a sense of stepping back into antiquity.

While leading Joel to visit some of the temples and attractions, Natsukawa also took the opportunity to inquire about Genji's Firefly.

He knew that Genji Hotaru was connected to a temple called Sanonji, but he only remembered that a Buddha statue there had been stolen by Genji Hotaru. He couldn't recall anything else for the time being. He might need to delve a little into the case before his dead memories could come back and strike him.

However, after leaving Tokyo, Natsukawa discovered that there were actually quite a few cases in other places as well.

Take Kyoto as an example. Natsukawa and Yoru were walking down the street when they unexpectedly encountered a thief who tried to rob them.

This guy must have had some terrible luck, managing to rob Xia Chuan and his companion.

Presumably, the other party also had their eye on the dazzling flower on Joel's hand, and sped up on their motorcycle to rush over from behind.

The safety helmet obscured his face, but Xia Chuan thought he was probably smiling.

I hope he can still smile in the next second.

"give it to me."

Xia Chuan calmed down Yoel, who was about to make a move, and then instantly switched places with Yoel.

The motorcycle robbers seemed to have anticipated this scenario; the "hero saves the damsel in distress" tactic was something seasoned robbers had used plenty of times.

As a result, the car not only did not slow down, but rushed towards them at an even faster speed.

He even slightly veered the car's direction, heading directly towards Xia Chuan, seemingly intending to knock him flying before robbing him.

"careful!"

A reminder sounded in his ear, the voice sounded somewhat familiar. At this moment, Xia Chuan didn't have time to pay attention to the person who spoke, and suddenly leaped up.

The motorcycle came hurtling towards him like a madman. As it got closer, he saw Xia Chuan jumping up and down and initially looked down on him, until Xia Chuan flew over his head.

The robber, with one hand on the accelerator and the other on a steel pipe, only had time to look up at the scene before forgetting to swing the steel pipe.

"Crack!"

In mid-air, using the force of the fall and its own momentum, a size 43 leather shoe landed firmly on the safety helmet. The helmet shattered like tofu, revealing the hood underneath.

It was obvious that this robber was a professional; he also had a mask covering his face under his helmet.

However, he never expected that he had kicked a hornet's nest this time.

The overwhelming force left the robbers' minds blank, and the motorcycle lost its balance and tilted to the side, sliding forward for dozens of meters due to inertia.

The motorcycle's fuel tank leaked, and the friction caused sparks, causing the vehicle to burst into flames instantly.

The robbers were a bit luckier; they had already been thrown off when the motorcycle crashed, and rolled and slid on the ground like gourds, only managing to knock down a telephone pole.

Because Xiaolan could smash a telephone pole with one punch, Xia Chuan felt that such a blow would at most cause paralysis on one side of the body, but not death!

This was already the result of him holding back; if no one was around, he wouldn't mind kicking the robber to death.

They ruined their romantic time together.

Come to think of it, someone just reminded me, didn't they?

While Yoel was calling the police, Xia Chuan turned to look in the direction from which the sound had come.

In that corner, a young man dressed in a white kendo uniform with a black belt around his waist was looking this way.

He seemed surprised by Xia Chuan's actions just now, and stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape as if he could fit an apple inside.

Moving the gaze downwards, the young swordsman had clearly already drawn his wooden sword.

Kyoto Prefectural Police arrived at the scene in less than five minutes.

They took a brief statement and left as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

"That's how it is at tourist attractions. Many local delinquents take advantage of tourists being alone, so robberies of tourists are common."

"This robber was unlucky; he really messed up."

The kendo boy was none other than Natsukawa's only friend from Kyoto—Okita Souji.

"By the way, Natsukawa-ge, why didn't you call me when you came to Kyoto? With me, a local, showing you around, this situation definitely wouldn't have happened."

Putting aside the fact that he doesn't want to run into acquaintances, he doesn't even have Okita Souji's phone number.

"It was just a minor incident during the trip, nothing to worry about."

Joel waved his hand with a smile, saying that dealing with evil while traveling could actually be quite romantic.

Moreover, the way Xia Chuan made his move just now was really captivating.

Her graceful movements and light body made her seem like a celestial being descended to earth.

Although Joel could do it herself, that didn't stop her from admiring Natsukawa.

This is probably what sweet moments between couples look like.

The bachelor, naturally, didn't understand the reasoning behind it, and simply kept apologizing and warmly inviting Xia Chuan to accompany him.

Meeting Gin could be arranged before midnight, and with plenty of time available, Xia Chuan naturally didn't refuse the local bully's invitation.

"So, where does the local tyrant plan to take us?"

"How about Sanno-ji Temple? Although Kiyomizu-dera Temple is also beautiful, it's too crowded with tourists. There are many other places like this in Kyoto, and Sanno-ji Temple is a great choice."
