Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 739 The Winery Reassembles Once Again

The fourth day back in Tokyo.

Conan's cold showed no signs of improvement; it seemed to be the flu, and it was getting worse every day.

Conan now even has the idea that taking the drug Ai Haibara gave him and then having a glass of baijiu (a strong Chinese liquor) is worse than suffering a short, sharp pain.

In addition, there is the option of eating Yoel cuisine.

Unfortunately, Natsukawa didn't give him a chance, and Conan himself was a little afraid that the experience of vomiting and diarrhea would cause him to die prematurely.

Natsukawa doesn't want to see Conan these days.

This guy will definitely ask a lot of questions, so let's give him some space for a while; indifference is the best calming agent.

Moreover, Natsukawa finally received news that Gin had returned to Tokyo.

They should have returned a few days ago, but it's been delayed until today. I don't know what happened in between.

This made Xia Chuan somewhat wary, and before leaving, he specifically instructed Yoel to protect Anya and Ai Haibara.

"Ania and Ai seem to have caught a cold too. There seems to be a flu outbreak at school recently. I'll take them to the hospital tomorrow morning. If they're still not feeling well after the checkup, I'll take them home."

Xia Chuan nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "With Shinichi Abe exposed, it's a big question whether Tequila's identity can still be hidden. This time, Vodka didn't mention Shinichi Abe when he contacted me, and I'm worried it might be a trap."

"If I don't contact you within six hours of me leaving, it means something has happened. The task of protecting Anya and Ai is now in your hands."

Joel's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Xia Chuan with great concern.

"Maybe we shouldn't go. We don't need this identity anymore."

Xia Chuan had also considered it, but after weighing the pros and cons, he felt it was necessary to take the risk.

It's unclear whether Gin has noticed anything amiss with Tequila's identity. If he doesn't go, it would be pointless to expose himself.

Although there is some danger, this is not his first time visiting the distillery base. He has already planned an escape route, and there is more than one!
Even if Gin sets up an inescapable trap, it will be difficult to keep him here.

This is his bottom line.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Take good care of them both, and make sure you stay safe too. Thank you for your hard work."

Overcome with emotion, the two shared another tender moment, and Xia Chuan was given a chance to try on a lipstick that only top-tier songstresses in Kyoto would use.

It's really good; it even has a sweet taste when applied to the lips.

"Oh, you're here too?"

At the entrance of the base, Xia Chuan ran into Amuro Tooru, who was dressed in a suit and had a sales manager badge pinned to his chest.

Clearly, Mr. Amuro cosplayed as a real estate agent today, and I wonder which rich lady benefited from it.

"Our Lord Gin has even summoned you; things are probably not simple today."

Xia Chuan said meaningfully.

Amuro Tooru raised an eyebrow and asked with a serious expression, "What exactly happened that day? So many peripheral members died without explanation."

Amuro Tooru, an undercover police officer, was completely baffled as he received no answers from either the police or the police.

"How would I know? I was also excluded by Gin. I heard that only Gin, Vodka, and Baileys were present. You can ask them."

How could Amuro Tooru possibly ask the three of them about something like this?

In fact, Amuro Tooru had secretly contacted Yuri, hoping to learn more about the situation through Yuri, Natsukawa's brother-in-law.

However, Xia Chuan had no intention of explaining. Yuri was drugged that day and woke up back at the Public Security Base. He didn't even remember asking the question.

They hadn't exchanged more than a few words before entering the distillery. The two silently fell silent, keeping a half-body distance from each other, pretending they weren't very familiar. "Another group photo?"

Upon arriving at the communication hall, Xia Chuan found that all the codenamed members he knew were there, including Kusuda Rikudo.

At this moment, Kusuda Rikudo was no longer the decadent man he used to be. He was dressed in a sharp black suit and a burgundy tie, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. Anyone who didn't know him would think he was the boss.

Kusuda Rikudo was clearly getting a little cocky.

His codename membership came too easily, without any assessment.

However, this is also because several members of the code name have died, and the Japanese side is short-handed, especially at times like this, when the brewery is full of enemies, and there are also mysterious figures like Natsukawa behind it.

"Tequila, you're always the last to arrive. Your efficiency has been so low lately."

Vodka walked over and greeted Xia Chuan. Among these people, he was closest to Tequila Vest. Although they were rivals, it was normal for them to love and hate each other. They didn't hold back when it was time to stab each other in the back, and they were well aware of the rules of the working class.

"Why did you come so early? I'm not like you, a drunkard."

Xia Chuan joked, and then the two walked to the side and whispered, "What is Big Brother planning to do by gathering everyone this time? Is he going to target Xia Chuan?"

Xia Chuan's heart pounded faster and faster. Although he was prepared, he was still somewhat emotionally affected.

It wasn't nervousness, but respect for the opponent, Xia Chuan asked himself and answered.

Vodka shook his head, his expression becoming slightly serious. He opened his mouth but then seemed to remember something and shook his head again, saying, "Big brother will tell me later, but it's nothing serious."

Does not look like.

Vodka's hesitant expression was obvious; even a big mouth wouldn't dare to say something, so it was clear that Gin had made him keep quiet.

This is interesting. What kind of matter could possibly warrant Gin's special explanation?

Most of the time, Gin wouldn't explain things to vodka like that.

So, Gin is also suspecting that he might be an undercover agent?

It wasn't difficult for Natsukawa to come to this conclusion. Gin himself probably knew that making such a big fuss would definitely be noticed by the undercover agents, but Gin still did it anyway.

He made the right decision to come this time.

Gin's first test will probably be who is absent.

However, it seems that everyone here is a warrior, and with him, there are three warriors in total, none of them are weak!
"By the way, what exactly happened that night? According to the news I saw, if I remember correctly, those identified as terrorists seemed to be peripheral members of the organization."

All the dead peripheral members were classified as terrorists and held fully responsible.

With the Ooka family pulling the strings behind the scenes, no one objected, and the news media reported on it extensively, which not only appeased the public but also gave politicians and the police an explanation.

Everyone else was happy to benefit, but Gin was the only one who was suffering.

When the topic came up, Vodka didn't look at Gin this time, but he still shook his head.

The others chatted casually among themselves. Amuro Tooru, having not found out what he wanted, strolled over to them.

Vodka is clearly the undisputed loudmouth.

However, Vodka clearly didn't have much affection for Amuro Tooru. He had no choice when doing missions, but under normal circumstances, he didn't like communicating with Bourbon.

The likely reason is that Bourbon wasn't under Gin's command, so he wasn't always obedient. It could be considered a childish act of saying, "If you don't listen to your boss, we're not good friends."
