Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 721 Panic
The boss is suspicious of Tequila.

After all, he had been unknown for many years, but this year he suddenly became outstanding and helped the organization solve many problems.

This is a crucial tactic for the Red team to enter their core area.

Working hard led to a surge in performance, and rye was a prime example of this.

Gin did not comment on this.

He had certainly had his doubts about the tequila issue, but the reason the other party acted this way was probably because the business he was previously in charge of was not a good fit for him.

Moreover, Tequila seems to be very shrewd. He doesn't like to expose himself and prefers to strategize. He's the kind of person who either doesn't show his abilities or chooses the right lord and then makes great contributions.

Clearly, Gin is the right leader who values ​​tequila as a gem.

The two hit it off.

If Agave were on the Red Team, it would have cracked open long ago.

Xia Chuan, who had been on edge all afternoon after moving to a new location, finally relaxed when Gin did not appear until sunset.

He wanted to say something to Frank, but he didn't know how to start. To be honest, this was all caused by his girlfriend, and he hadn't even noticed that Gin would do this, let alone Frank.

"Since everything is alright, I, Tomoaki Niide, and Kaori Niina will head back to Tokyo first."

Frank didn't want to stay any longer. This life of hiding and running away was worse than going back to Tokyo, where at least the same situation wouldn't happen again.

"it is good."

"As for the two children?"

Xia Chuan thought for a moment and finally said, "Forget it, let's keep them. They're already here, and everything's fine now."

After a tense day, Xia Chuan casually hailed a taxi back to the hotel.

On the way, he also wanted to contact Gin to see how he was doing.

Timely reconnaissance of the enemy's situation is the most basic operation, and it's also good to find out the other side's mood.

I bet the other party still doesn't know that what was taken wasn't gold, but evidence left behind by Shinmei Nittaro.

However, after dialing twice, there was no answer on the other end.

This didn't attract Xia Chuan's attention. After all, it wasn't unreasonable for Gin not to answer his subordinates' calls; he might even be angry.

He then called Vodka again, trying to subtly probe the issue, but the call still went unanswered. Xia Chuan finally realized the problem.

Neither of them answered the phone, which suggests only one possibility—they were on a mission.

But they haven't been found yet, so what kind of mission are they on? Why haven't they given up after an entire afternoon? When did Gin become so patient?
Before Xia Chuan could think for long, the phone in his hand rang, startling him awake.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

The call was from Frank. He had only left not long ago, and Frank should have just met up with Shinichiro and the others who were arriving.

Could it be that Gin didn't answer the phone because he found Frank?

Isn't this timing a bit too coincidental?

"It's me, something's happened!"

The voice on the other end of the phone wasn't Frank's, but Tomoaki Shinide's.

Shinichiro was sweating profusely and filled with anxiety. His back was soaked with sweat, and his face was flushed.

This wasn't a flush of excitement, but rather nervousness and fear.
“I ran into Gin at the Gojo Hotel. Just as I was about to leave the lobby, I saw them walking by dressed as hotel staff.”

“I still have Shinmei Kaori with me, so I absolutely can’t be exposed. That’s why I ran a distance and happened to run into Frank, who was there to pick us up. I called you right away.” Natsukawa’s face darkened. Shinmei Tomoaki was still too inexperienced. How could he wait until he had run a distance before calling about something so important?

"How is Anya?"

Xia Chuan didn't ask questions like how the other party ended up at the Gojo Hotel; the most important thing was their whereabouts.

It's impossible for it to be a coincidence that Anya and Ai Haibara are staying at the hotel!
"Uh, Vodka seemed to glance at me, but he seemed to mistake me for Vermouth and just nodded vaguely. I think they were heading towards the stairs, probably to go down to the basement. After all, they could easily take the elevator upstairs."

"What should I do? If Vodka sees me, this matter probably won't be kept secret for long. Once they see Vermouth, I'm likely to be exposed."

This left Xia Chuan speechless.

If Shinichiro is exposed, it won't just be a simple matter of exposing him alone.

His identity as a tequila enthusiast might also be exposed, and the possibility of it being exposed is very high!
After all, it was Tomoaki Shinichi who personally arranged for the car to plunge off the cliff, and the only people present at the time were him and Vermouth.

If either of them were to be identified as an undercover agent, even if Gin trusted him implicitly, he probably wouldn't suspect Vermouth, who had a close relationship with the boss.

"Damn it!"

Xia Chuan's face was extremely ugly.

He didn't know what went wrong, but things had come to this point, and there was no point in saying anything more. The only thing he could do was rush to the hotel immediately to save the situation from collapse.

"Hey, guest, please calm down."

The taxi driver was driving along just fine when he heard the man in the back seat suddenly speaking much louder. He thought something had happened and wanted to check the rearview mirror to see what was going on.

As a result, when he looked up, he found Xia Chuan staring at him with a deep gaze.

"Guest, the hotels in Gojo-cho really are priced at that rate, I'm not kidding you."

The driver's voice stopped abruptly, and his body collapsed like mud.

Xia Chuan climbed into the passenger seat and took control of the vehicle, stopping it wherever he could find a spot.

Immediately afterwards, the driver was thrown out and placed on the grass by a streetlamp, where he should be able to sleep until dawn.

Aside from being a bit cold, there's nothing wrong with it.

The taxi sped off with a "whoosh," far exceeding the speed of other vehicles, even at night when visibility was poor.

In the hotel room, Ai Haibara, who was on the phone, was staring blankly, completely oblivious to what Natsukawa said next, before the phone fell to the ground with a "thud".

Anya put down her Snake game and cast a curious glance. Then, as she read her own thoughts, she was startled and quickly grabbed her phone from the ground.

"Yes, Father. I know. I understand, Father!"

Because of the urgency, Xia Chuan didn't notice that Anya spoke with unusual calmness, which was completely different from her usual self.

After hanging up the phone, Anya plopped down on the mattress and sprawled out on the bed.

Then, she immediately sprang to the door and leaned against the doorframe to listen to the sounds outside.

"Father said Gin is here, and Haibara and I have to protect ourselves and find a way to get out of the room."

"The elevators and emergency exits are monitored and cannot be used, so what can we do?"

"Never mind that, let's finish what Father asked us to do first, at least that will buy us some time!"
