Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 725 Anya's Crisis
"Without cover, let's see how you defend yourself."

However, Gin did not expect that the reason he was able to get close to Vodka was because Vodka was approaching Anya and the other person, causing Joel to be distracted.

But now, things are different!

Knowing that she needs to deal with Gin first, Princess Thorn is not someone that just anyone can handle!
Gin moved with ghostly speed, wielding a dagger that flashed with cold light before stabbing straight at the throat. His movements were swift and decisive, without hesitation; each strike was aimed at a fatal spot, revealing his ruthless and cold-blooded nature.

This time, however, Joel was prepared. His movements left afterimages as he dodged and instantly passed Gin.

Vodka grinned lewdly; he had already captured Ai Haibara.

Anya is incredibly fast, but for some reason, Ai Haibara just stood there trembling, showing no intention of running away at all.

This kid was the most fearless one before, but in the end, he was so scared that he didn't move.

"Kid, come back with me!"

Just as Vodka was about to pull the other person into his arms, he suddenly felt a gust of wind rush past his ear.

Immediately afterwards, his vision began to blur, followed by intense pain.

In slow motion, you can see the man's fleshy face twitching irregularly, his questioning eyes looking in the direction of the pain.

A slender arm appeared before my eyes, its fist whistling fiercely. Before I could react, my body flew out like a cannonball, spinning countless times in the air before crashing into the middle of the road like a piece of trash.

"So handsome!"

Ai Haibara's eyes suddenly widened. "Watch out behind you!"

Just as Joel was about to turn around, Gin appeared behind her almost instantly.

A powerful kick landed on Joel's lower back.

Joel lunged forward, pulling Ai Haibara into his arms, and they rolled around on the ground several times before stopping.

Under Yoel's protection, Ai Haibara did not feel any pain, only a slight dizziness.

Joel wasn't having such an easy time. Gin's strength was far greater than that of an ordinary person, and this kick landed on his back, seemingly injuring his lumbar spine as well. His balance was affected, and even getting up was incredibly painful.

"Hang in there a little longer, your Uncle Xia Chuan will be here soon."

Joel frowned, yet still managed a maternal smile, her hair falling loosely, making her appear even more delicate and touching Ai Haibara's heart.

"Aunt Joel."

Ai Haibara's eyes welled up with tears, she bit her lip, her face full of heartache, and her nose stung with tears.

Joel gave her a maternal love she had never experienced before.

Her relationship with Joel and Xia Chuan was just a normal foster care relationship. Was it really worth it for the other party to do this?
But Yole did it anyway, and Xia Chuan didn't give up on her either, never saying that her identity made her unsuitable to stay in this house.

“But I can’t stay here any longer. Whether it’s for Aunt Joel, Anya, or Uncle Xia Chuan, if I continue to stay in this house, something unfortunate will surely happen again.”

"Gin must have discovered my identity, right? Uncle Natsukawa was lying before, saying he didn't know why. It must be because of me."

"It's all my fault. I insisted on coming to Kyoto with Anya, even though I knew we might run into people from the brewery. I should take responsibility for my own mistakes."

"what are you up to?"

Joel was shocked; his forehead was covered in sweat from forcing himself to stand up.

"You can't go, I'm here!"

She pulled Ai Haibara into her arms.

"Aunt Joel!"

Anya clung to the pillar, tears welling in her eyes.

She hadn't expected that Aunt Joel wouldn't be able to beat Gin. But based on what she'd overheard from her father, Gin shouldn't be a match for her aunt. Had Gin gotten stronger, or was it, as Ai Haibara suspected, that the two of them had affected her aunt's performance?

"Father, where are you?!"

Anya shouted inwardly.

After catching his breath, Vodka regained consciousness, rubbed his swollen cheeks hard, tears welling in his eyes, and walked toward Anya with hatred in his eyes.

Gin breathed a sigh of relief; if it weren't for the two children, he might not have been able to beat Joel.

Although my strength and speed seem to have increased since the Twilight Villa incident, it still doesn't seem enough.

Choosing to target two children this time was definitely the right decision.

Now that the three are his hostages, shouldn't Xia Chuan surrender?!?

"Hehehe, come back with me, Uncle will buy you some delicious lollipops, okay?"

"Ania doesn't want to! Anya wants Father's cooking, the peanuts Father bought, and Aunt Joel's sweet and cloying cocoa. I don't want to go back with you!"

The little girl had nowhere left to retreat, so she leaned against the pillar and began to wail loudly.

"You brat, you're too noisy!"

The child's crying would undoubtedly attract attention. Although someone must have already called the police for the shooting, Vodka quickly grabbed Anya and covered her mouth, which was bigger than his fist.

"woooooo"

Anya finally shed tears of regret. "Damn Kyoto, I'll never come here again!"

Just then, a sharp gust of wind swept in, and Vodka's nerves tensed instantly, his hair standing on end. Realizing it might be Joel's doing, he immediately restrained Anya, turned her around, and held her against his face, facing Joel.

The goal, of course, is to use the human shield at hand to force Joel to give up the attack!

However, to his surprise, Joel was still embracing Ai Haibara.
Where does the sound come from?
The last thought that crossed his mind was doubt, and then the other half of his face, which was unharmed, was struck by something emitting white light.

A sharp, slap-like sound echoed throughout the underground parking lot, and then he was swept away again.

Anya was thrown out as well, yelling incoherently as she nearly slid face-first to the ground.

Suddenly, a sound like an engine roared out, and a yellow-green light shot out from under a car, caught Anya firmly, and slid forward to escape the battlefield.

"Ah! Anya is alright?"

The beam of light finally stopped, and Anya, who had opened her eyes, saw the skateboard and excitedly shouted, "Conan, you truly are my most capable subordinate! Quickly, come to my rescue!"

"No, save Aunt Joel!"

Unexpectedly, Conan arrived before his father.

"Tsk, you bastard."

Conan emerged from the end of the passage, with a panting Heiji Hattori beside him.

Conan's skateboard can easily jump over the fence and enter the parking lot, but it's different for him; his motorcycle is blocked at the entrance, so he has to run in.

Although the parking lot wasn't very big, the sheer volume of energy released during the run made it easy for one's breathing to become disordered.

"Damn it, why can't I ride on the skateboard?"

"It's because of weight restrictions, it was definitely not intentional."

Conan helplessly shrugged. The skateboard was already smoking from the earlier outburst, so even if Hattori Heiji wanted to check, there was nothing he could do.
