Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 771 Yuri's Plan

"That makes sense, so I'm already prepared."

"So how do you deal with devices that disrupt communication signals?"

Xia Chuan was quite curious.

He did not presumptuously believe that Frank could not crack the code, nor would the police.

Perhaps the winery's information security can't compare to ours, but when it comes to technology, no matter how advanced it is, it's hard to compare with a country, especially since Japan isn't some small, weak country; it ranks among the top twenty or even the top ten internationally.

"Although no electromagnetic wavelength was collected, the pulse energy must be very large to damage the signal electronic components, and there must be a sufficient power supply."

“Last night, my people found several possible locations where the power could be connected. Now, we have installed transformers on the equipment at these locations. Once the rated power exceeds the range we have set, the power will be automatically cut off.”

"I see."

Xia Chuan nodded in realization. There was a reason why Yuri was able to become the person in charge of dealing with the brewery group; he was very capable.

"Next time, I'm definitely going to keep Gin here!"

Yuri's eyes shone with a light called confidence.

"Then come on."

Xia Chuan patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and said, "The distillery will probably need a few days to prepare for its operation, at least until late at night when no one is around. So let's go back and have dinner tonight. I haven't seen you for several days, and I miss you a lot."

"Hmm."

Yuri raised his head arrogantly, glanced at Xia Chuan with disdain, as if to say: My sister really loves me more.

The brother-in-law smiled slightly, offering no comment on his brother-in-law's childish, sister-obsessed behavior.

"I need to coordinate the deployment situation later. You go back first and tell your sister I'll be back."

Stepping out of the hospital and breathing in the fresh air, Xia Chuan stretched lazily and wiggled her ankles, which had been moving around all day.

He glanced back at me with a meaningful look.

Yuri happened to peek out from the ward, and the two stared at each other in silence.

Xia Chuan turned his head to his GTR, then closed his eyes expressionlessly.

This trip was not without its gains, nor was it just about chatting with Yuri; we discovered some unusual circumstances.

Yuri has a problem.

There are also problems with Wakasa's decision to stay in the US.

Several of Yuri's seemingly unnoticed actions today actually came into Natsukawa's view.

He tensed up when he lifted the blanket covering Wakasa Rumi;

He was clearly hiding something when he spoke;
And that glance through the window just now was clearly not out of concern, but to see if he had already left.

In psychology, this behavior is considered an attempt to cover up the truth.

The reason for discovering these things was that after lifting Wakasa Rumi's blanket, she found a very strange place.

Wakasa Rumi's socks were a little dirty.

There was some dust on it, and a few medium-length hairs on the sheet under the feet.

Why would the soles of a person in a vegetative state have dirt on their feet, or hair on them?
Rehabilitation staff only move the patient's limbs and massage to improve blood circulation and muscle function; they do not allow the patient's feet to touch the ground.

With a little deduction, it can be concluded that Rumi Wakasa actually got up and walked around, and then stepped on Yuri's hair.

Since the ward was just moved last night and is relatively clean, Natsukawa couldn't determine whether Wakasa Rumi had woken up before or just suddenly woke up yesterday.

But at least it's confirmed that the person was awake after being transferred to the new ward.

"And does he already know Yuri's attitude? But why didn't he tell me?"

Telling Yuri about what happened in Kyoto wasn't because he had been given leverage over someone, but because he wanted to empathize with Yuri.

Use information from Kyoto to get your brother-in-law to confess.

"I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

Xia Chuan cursed his unethical brother-in-law in his mind, a sinister smile curving his lips.

The specifics will be determined by dinner time.

Joel thought Yuri was right, but he didn't say anything about going back for dinner. He said that to give Anya an opportunity to eavesdrop.

Xia Chuan didn't go straight home, but wandered around some more to confirm that someone was indeed following him.

The distillery was clearly very concerned about him; from the time he left home until he returned, they discovered at least twenty suspicious individuals.

More than ten of them were peripheral members whom the base had seen before, and some of them were probably newly transferred.

After all, Kyoto suffered many casualties, so some replenishment is to be expected.

The tracking was actually quite crude; besides gathering information about him, it was most likely also to cover up Vermouth's impersonation of Fumiyo Edogawa.

Unfortunately, Vermouth had no idea that she was a clown from beginning to end.

However, it seems that the distillery also has a little-known training base or talent hub.

Even Tequila Vest didn't know about this place. He had even subtly inquired with the outer members beforehand, and they themselves didn't know where they were training. They only knew it was a forest and an underground base.

After a long day, before heading home, Natsukawa made another trip to the Mori Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mouri leisurely sipped his drink, while Ran and Conan went out to play with the guests from Osaka.

The original plan to have dinner was obviously no longer feasible due to the fire at their house. Hattori Heiji had already called Natsukawa to offer his condolences and said that he would come again next time.

It's a bit of a pity, but there are limits to how much you can scam someone, and Xia Chuan really isn't interested right now. Standing at his own front door, the smell of burning food carried on the wind filled Xia Chuan's nostrils, and he remembered that his house had caught fire.

Fortunately, this house is not the most popular wooden house in Japan. The fire on the third floor did not affect the building structure. All that was needed was to demolish the third floor and, incidentally, remove the top floor of the second floor and rebuild it.

In addition, Xia Chuan spent a lot of money to shorten the construction period from two months to less than one month.

To make it more suitable for living and offer better views, the third floor will be enclosed, and a fourth floor will be added. The fourth floor will be designed as a fully open-air balcony, providing more space and a wider view.

In short, it's a way of realizing a previous idea.

As for the issue of Ai Haibara's research lab, that's quite simple.

Ai Haibara's basement has a special lock, making it more secure than her study on the third floor. Even the firefighters couldn't get in yesterday, as forced entry would only damage the basement. So they aren't worried about outsiders breaking in.

Ai Haibara also brought out all the important documents.

And so, she will be going to Professor Agasa's house to conduct research again this month.

"Ania, listen carefully. When Uncle Yuri arrives, you need to listen carefully to what Wakasa Rumi and Beika General Hospital have to say. If you can provide useful information, there will be a reward."

"Really? Anya wants to go out with Conan and Ayumi. Today at school, Ayumi said that we haven't gone camping in a long time, so she wants to go to the mountains in the eastern suburbs."

Anya knew her family's situation and was afraid to speak up for fear of affecting her father's plans. Now that her father said he would meet her request, the little girl had put her previous concerns aside and her bright eyes were filled with hope.

I just went to Kyoto not long ago.

"Fine, that's fine."

The one in Kyoto was indeed a bit embarrassing, and kids really can't stay cooped up at home all the time; not everyone is named Ai Haibara.

"Don't worry, Father, Anya has it covered." The little girl patted her chest confidently.

Half an hour later.

"Sister, I'm back."

Yuri, dressed in a suit and tie, strode into the entryway and greeted Bond, who was crouching at the bottom of the stairs, with a somewhat uneasy air.

Bond looked up and sniffed, then looked down.

"They're so overly familiar with us. They're acting like it's their own home."

"Will I be kicked out of the house when my sister gets married?"

Yuri shook his head vigorously, banishing the unknown fear from his mind, took off his shoes, and put on his own slippers.

"Uncle Yuri, you're back! Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!"

Anya, dressed in a festive red nightgown, pulled out a ribbon cannon from somewhere and set it off with a bang, sending ribbons flying everywhere.

"Thank you so much."

Yuri, exhausted from a busy day, expressed her gratitude, but inwardly thought that her sister would probably have to clean up all the colorful ribbons scattered on the ground.

That's why kids are the most annoying thing.

"What? This is a top-level welcome that Anya has prepared with great care. Uncle Yuri doesn't like it?"

Anya, who had been preparing for an hour, felt a sense of loss upon hearing her heartfelt words.

Yuri seemed to realize that his emotions weren't quite enthusiastic enough, which made the children unhappy.

He forced a smile, his squinting eyes looking somewhat frightening, which not only failed to satisfy Anya, but also made her take a step back.

"What are you doing standing here? Come and rest in the living room. I'll be cooking tonight."

It was Xia Chuan who noticed the problem and came out.

"Don't act like the male head of the household. The property certificate is in my sister's and my names."

Yuri muttered something under his breath and walked inside without looking back.

"Go Anya!"

Xia Chuan gave a thumbs-up gesture and returned to the kitchen.

Anya's mind raced, and she considered one method after another, only to rule them out one by one. Uncle Yuri was different from the others; the usual methods didn't seem to work.

The little girl stared at her target, her eyes gradually narrowing, and then, inexplicably, she started snoring.

Yuri noticed Anya's little actions, and although he found it a bit strange, he didn't say anything and just sat quietly in the living room watching TV.

While his eyes were fixed on the television, he was actually thinking about the benefits that could be gained from collaborating with Wakasa Rumi.

That's right, he collaborated with Rumi Wakasa!

Just last night!

Cooperation has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that if Rumi Wakasa pretends to be in a vegetative state, Gin will lower his guard. If given the chance, Gin would definitely not mind taking Rumi Wakasa away directly.

The downside is that I don't know enough about Rumi Wakasa, and I don't know whether she is trustworthy or not.

But he still decided to take the gamble.

"Ahhhh~"

A dozen minutes later, Anya was awakened by the sound of pots being washed in the kitchen. After wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, the little girl touched her cheek in confusion.

"How did I fall asleep? What were we just about to do?"
