Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 701 Father! ?
Frank licked his lips, thought for a moment, and finally gave in, recounting the story of the two little girls.

When he heard that two little girls were driving around in an armored car, Xia Chuan almost lost his composure.

Hearing that they had persuaded Shinichiro to send them to Kyoto, his lips twitched.

Upon learning that he and Hattori Heiji and the others had been attacked by Benkei that morning, Natsukawa's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

If you take out a pure black color swatch and place it on Xia Chuan's face, you will find that the two are completely identical!
"Why didn't you tell me about something so important right away?"

Xia Chuan grabbed Frank by the collar, gritting his teeth, and said, "Don't you know that Gin is also in Kyoto? If he sees Ai Haibara, who knows if he'll remember her!"

"How could that be? You told me about the distillery's location. I paid special attention to it. It's not close at all, so there's no way we could have a chance to meet. Besides, since we got involved in the case, Araide Tomoaki has taken them back to the hotel to rest, and they haven't left since."

Frank emerged from under the shirt with a flourish, casually took the shirt from Xia Chuan and placed it aside, saying calmly, "I know you're worried, but there won't be any problems. Besides, you know Anya's personality; she's not easy to manage. With Ai Haibara and Tomoaki Araide around, her safety can still be guaranteed."

Where do they live?

Xia Chuan still dared not let his guard down. If he remembered correctly, because of today's operation, the brewery's base was no longer usable, and Gin would probably be moving to a different location.

"The Gojo Hotel near the Gojo Bridge. It's not a big hotel, but it's in the Edo style, which Anya really likes."

Xia Chuan waved his hand and sighed.

He was at his wits' end with those two little rascals.

However, that's not the main topic right now; it's about Shinmei Kaori.

Kaori Shinmei had been waiting nearby for a long time, observing Natsukawa the whole time. This man who supposedly rescued her from the brewery was indeed quite handsome, with features that made it hard to look away.

Moreover, his height also matches her criteria for a partner, and I heard that he is close to her age.

He has a bit of a refined and handsome young man vibe.

"Hey."

Joel offered a reminder without any expression.

She had just introduced herself as Xia Chuan's girlfriend, but her eyes were practically devouring Xia Chuan.
As a girlfriend, should I transform into a princess of thorns and cut off the head of a woman who has feelings for my boyfriend?

Shinmei Kaori shuddered, realizing her rudeness, and quickly bowed in apology: "I'm sorry, maybe you look a little familiar."

“It’s normal that he looks familiar; Natsukawa occasionally appears in the newspapers with Kogoro Mouri.”

Frank interjected to ease the awkwardness.

The four sat down to talk.

"Mr. Natsukawa, thank you so much. Without you, I'm afraid I would have been killed by Vermouth."

"She might not dare to kill you. After all, your father left you a trump card to protect yourself. As long as the distillery doesn't find this trump card, you should be safe, but your freedom will be restricted."

Shinmei Kaori gave a wry smile. It's not that simple. She'll probably be getting beaten up every day.

She had heard her father talk about the methods the distillery used to interrogate prisoners, and he said they were absolutely cruel.

With her personality that's that of a princess from birth, there's absolutely no way she could have survived.

"Does your father really have evidence about the distillery? Is it worth making a big fuss about it?"

Yes, Xia Chuan still had some doubts.

"I think so."

Actually, Kaori Shinmei wasn't entirely sure either. Her understanding of the organization came from her father, and she had never met most of the members. She only met Vermouth a few years ago when Vermouth was making a disguise mask for her father.

Most of the others were only known by their names and general appearance.

“My father always does things in a whimsical and unconventional way, and he always has a lot of backup plans. The fact that the novels and films about Detective Zuo Wenzi feature different murderers already proves this point.”

"Therefore, I believe he had a backup plan, otherwise he wouldn't have done something so dangerous."

She believed her father would not put her in danger.

Xia Chuan nodded slightly. No one knows a father better than his daughter, so he felt much more at ease.

"Okay, then I'll take you to the place where your father marked the latitude and longitude tomorrow. Maybe you can remember something."

After the discussion, Xia Chuan straightened his hair, loosened his slightly tight tie, and a glint of cunning gleam in his eyes.

"Let's take advantage of this break to deal with the disobedient kids!"

"Dong dong dong."

"Who is it? Ai Haibara, go open the door."

Anya lay on the bed, her two short legs raised at a 90-degree angle, swinging back and forth, while she played Snake on Shinichi's phone with both hands.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Ai Haibara sat at her desk, putting on makeup in front of the mirror.

This was bought by Shinichiro Shinichi this afternoon; it's from a relatively well-known Japanese brand recently.

"She's learning to do makeup at such a young age; she'll definitely grow up to be a delinquent."

The knocking on the door continued, and Anya had no choice but to get up and open it.

Okay, actually her snake ran into the wall again, and the game is over!

I'll have Professor Agasa research a way to pass through walls and emerge from the opposite edge, otherwise he'll inexplicably crash into a wall and die after only a few hits.

"Who!"

The door wasn't fully opened; it was just a crack, enough for her to see what was happening outside.

The anti-theft latches inside were not removed, indicating a clear sense of vigilance.

"You're very clever; you even know to use a security latch."

"Of course, it was Anya who suggested it, and it has nothing to do with Ai Haibara."

Anya answered reflexively, then her smile suddenly froze.

Wait, that voice just now... why does it sound so familiar?

Looking at those legs that seemed longer than life itself through the gap, those military green suit pants... they looked so familiar.
Move your eyes upward.

"Father!?" The little girl plopped down on the ground, shifting back several feet, staring in terror at the calm eyes outside the crack.

Ruined!
Her mind went blank, but she could vaguely hear the "slap slap" sound of her buttocks being whipped.

"what happened?"

Haibara Ai was startled, and accidentally smeared her blush onto her eyeshadow, giving Anya a disgruntled glare.

Then she also saw a glimpse of military green through the crack in the door.

Suddenly, two fingers reached into the narrow gap, pinched the pin and chain, and gently pulled it out.

"Clang!"

The pin was pulled out directly.

The door was slowly pushed open, and Xia Chuan's tall and imposing figure gradually became clear, but his expressionless face looked somewhat frightening.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, what a coincidence! What a coincidence!"

Ai Haibara also swallowed hard.

I'm going back tomorrow, so why did I have to get caught at this time? Who tipped me off?
Speaking of which, where did Shinichiro go?

I just said I was going out for a smoke, why haven't I come back yet?

wrong!

When faced with a life-or-death situation, Ai Haibara suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Shinichiro didn't smell of tobacco, and he hadn't smoked on the way there; he didn't have any cigarettes in his pocket, so it was obvious he wasn't a smoker.

The case is solved; it was this guy.

No wonder he ran so fast!

"What a coincidence, Haibara."

Xia Chuan walked in leisurely, past Anya, and looked around the room as if he didn't care much.

"Father."

Anya felt a chill in her heart, filled with anxiety. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she grabbed Xia Chuan's thigh, refusing to let go, trying to defeat him with her cuteness.

However, the next moment she felt her body lighten and she was lifted up.

—Cuteness is meaningless in the face of sexiness.

Joel bit her lower lip and put her hands on her hips, trying to act angry but revealing a different kind of charm, which almost made Xia Chuan lose her composure.

"Alright, Joel."

Xia Chuan shook his head, afraid that if Joel continued like this, Anya would think that he was also faking his anger.

"Oh."

Joel nodded sheepishly and then placed Anya on the ground.

Seeing the desk that had been turned into a dressing table, and then looking at Ai Haibara's face, Joel almost burst out laughing.

Although Ai Haibara is actually eighteen years old and has made great achievements in scientific research, she is really lacking in makeup skills. Her blush is applied as eyeshadow, making her look like she has just been punched.

"See, I told you they were fine."

Frank stood at the doorway and glanced inside, but did not come in.

Shin-Ide Tomoaki went back to take over protecting Shin-Nana Kaori, and now that it's confirmed the two little girls are alright, he should go back too.

Although it won't make much of a difference, it's best not to embarrass yourself by interrupting a family of four.

Go on, and don't forget about tomorrow.

"okay!"

After Frank left, Anya stared wide-eyed, asking in confusion, "Father, what's going on tomorrow? Can you tell Anya? I saved Hattori-nii's life today, I'm so amazing!"

"Heh, you're bringing it up again, aren't you!"

Xia Chuan smiled coldly, grabbed the little girl and held her in his arms, then gave her a good beating on her chubby cheeks.

"It hurts so much!"

"Do you dare to do it next time?"

"I won't do it again. Anya will become a good girl, starting tomorrow."

She said that, but in her heart she was thinking: I'll do it again next time, but I'll keep it a secret and not let my father find out.

"What about you?"

Natsukawa turned to look at Ai Haibara.

"Staying in the basement all day, it's true that we should come out for a walk. Uncle Xia Chuan was right."

Ai Haibara had calmed down. She was different from Anya. Anya was indeed a little kid, but not Ai Haibara. She, Shiho Miyano, was an eighteen-year-old adult. Did she need her family's permission to go out and play?
That's the right thought, but deep down, there was still a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

So now you know to use that line to shut me down?

Xia Chuan shook his head helplessly, but had to say, "That makes sense."

"But don't be so impulsive next time. They're in Kyoto too. If we run into them, we won't even know how we died."

"I see."

Ai Haibara was taken aback, but still nodded.

She hadn't expected the people from the winery to be here; that was something she hadn't anticipated.

"Also, there absolutely cannot be a next time regarding driving. You should know very well how dangerous it is."

“Conan does that too,” Anya muttered, shifting the blame.

(Please vote for me! It's almost the end of the month, and I'm practically glued to my computer.)
