Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 734 Tequila Exposed

The atmosphere at the temporary base was oppressive and completely silent.

The four people stared at each other.

Gin believed the problem lay with Vermouth, who was deliberately arguing with him.

Vodka, however, doubted whether he had seen correctly.

Baileys became curious about how Xia Chuan's two children had discovered the danger.

If Vodka is not mistaken, could Shinichiro be Natsukawa in disguise?

Or perhaps Shinichiro didn't die and was taken in by Natsukawa?

Although she hadn't deliberately investigated Natsukawa, Vermouth had been asking her to investigate the Mori family. She vaguely remembered that Natsukawa had once appeared at Tomoaki Araide's house with Kogoro Mori, and had even helped solve a murder case.

With this in mind, the identity of tequila...
Baileys' eyes suddenly lit up as if she had thought of something.

"I have nothing to explain about this. I have never been to that hotel. How would I know who the Shinichiro you saw was? Maybe it was someone else who can disguise himself."

After saying that, Vermouth suddenly paused, glanced at Vodka, and frowned slightly: "Only people within the organization know that I disguised myself as Shinichiro, and that requires the prerequisite of knowing how to disguise myself. Besides me, there are only Baileys and Bourbon."

Bourbon?

Gin narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous glint.

“I’ve suspected Bourbon for a long time. He’s been back in Japan for quite some time now, and his intelligence work has always been excellent. How could he not have any informants in Kyoto? He’s definitely up to something.”

Vodka punched his right hand with his left fist, looking as if he had just realized something.

He suddenly brought up everything that Amuro Tooru hadn't said before.

After listening to Vodka's long speech, the others twitched their lips. "Hindsight is 20/20. Where were you before?"
Clearly, they didn't believe this explanation.

Putting aside Bourbon's purpose, there was absolutely no need for him to impersonate Shinichi Araide.

Moreover, after the trip to Luoxu Mountain, he hardly participated in anything and it was impossible for him to know their whereabouts.

"Uh, um, let me interrupt for a moment."

Baileys suddenly raised her hand: "Could it be that when we assassinated Shinichiro, someone else already discovered it?"

"For example, that Xia Chuan?"

"Lady Vermouth, have you forgotten? You asked me to investigate Mao before."

"So that's it!"

Vermouth snapped to attention and reacted quickly, cutting off Bailey's words: "Indeed, I remember that Xia Chuan had connections with Xin Chuan Hospital and even helped solve a case that was related to your white glove."

Baileys didn't forget; she just deliberately didn't mention it.

This matter concerns her investigation into Kogoro Mouri, and she doesn't want Gin to find out about her investigation into the Mouri family.

Gin is very clever. If he finds out that he and I are investigating the Mouri family, Conan might come into his sights.

Well, although Conan is already being quite presumptuous and it's only a matter of time before he's discovered, she still hopes to prolong this time.

Strictly speaking, Vermouth and Momiji Ooka are somewhat similar, which is why she has special feelings for Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri.

"It was probably around that time that Tomoaki Shinichi was already being watched by him. He had long been aware of our possible actions and made preparations in advance."

Baileys' eyes gleamed with a strange light, leading the question in another direction.

Rather than making Gin suspect that there's something wrong with Tequila, it's better to make him suspect Natsukawa directly.

Bailey was secretly pleased with herself. She wondered if Xia Chuan would be moved to tears if he knew what she had done.

“Otherwise, with just Tequila and myself, Shinichiro wouldn’t have survived.” “Looking back now, Tequila’s technique was far too crude.”

Vermouth provided an assist.

At this point, it's best to try to shift your focus.

Gin suddenly understood; with this explanation, everything made sense.

Shinichiro was not dead at all. He knew that someone was impersonating him, and even knew that the person impersonating him was a member of the organization. He also had some knowledge of the codenamed members within the organization.

That's why he nodded in greeting when he encountered Vodka at the hotel.

After nodding, he probably notified Xia Chuan immediately.

This also explains why the two children from the Xia Chuan family didn't escape the hotel, but instead disrupted the room numbers to buy time!

Vodka's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

It's not that he's stupid, but that he insists he made a mistake.

Rather, he knew that if he wasn't mistaken, and the other person nodded at him, it would mean that he had revealed his elder brother's arrival.

He was just bragging about how sharp his eyes were, saying he could spot Vermouth at a glance in the crowded hotel lobby.

His boasts, such as his keen observation skills and photographic memory, became the reason why his older brother disliked him.

It seems that his older brother's attention has been diverted to other things, which puts his mind at ease, as long as he is not involved.

What did he do to deserve this?
"On the other hand, this is all Tequila's fault. If his tricks hadn't been so petty and easily discovered with preparation, things wouldn't have come to this."

Anyway, Tequila and Bourbon aren't around. We're all good brothers, and using them as a shield when things get tough is a last resort. They'll understand.

Vermouth and Gin both looked at him like he was an idiot, while Baileys seemed thoughtful.

She's already thinking about the agave issue.

When doubts arise, the problems with agave are actually quite obvious.

The change is too drastic and abnormal. Xia Chuan should also know how to disguise himself. Maybe the other party has been by his side all along.

Looking back, she didn't seem to have given Tequila a very kind look more than a few times.

It seems too late to regret it now.

As long as she pretends not to know anything about tequila, and then delivers it to your door!

However, this is on the premise that Tequila is indeed Natsukawa in disguise; otherwise, it would result in heavy losses.

There is a significant difference in height and build between Xia Chuan and Long Te Lan. If Xia Chuan were to disguise himself, she would definitely be able to detect it if she observed carefully.

Unbeknownst to Vermouth, while she was fretting about her troubles, her apprentice, whom she had raised since childhood, was already plotting to sleep with the enemy.

This is also thanks to her educational approach.

In her twenty-odd years of life, this was the first time someone had saved Baileys's life and truly cared about her.

This behavior evokes a very different feeling, and it is not without reason or trace; it is all due to the Belmod education that emphasizes the survival of the fittest and that the organization is above one's own life.

Continuing this discussion will likely yield no results, especially with the troublemaker Vodka present.

Moreover, there were some things that Gin and Vermouth wanted to talk about alone.

After Baileys and Vodka were pushed out of the room, the two remained silent for a long time before Vermouth finally spoke first.

"The internal review of the organization should probably begin soon. Whether it was the Twilight Villa or this time, each time it gives me the feeling that I'm being seen through."
