Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 781 Questioning
Kuroda Hyoue's smile froze.

Although that's not the reason, isn't tax evasion quite normal?

He himself did not do this, but he helped many businessmen do so.

Unfortunately, the funding from the public security department alone is simply not enough.

Especially after the Ooka family's support decreased, it became even more difficult to get money.

He helped businessmen evade taxes and even managed to build up a slush fund. All of this was for the sake of national stability, and it was an acceptable sacrifice.

Could I have guessed right?

Yamato Kansuke had a strange expression, his gaze fixed on Kuroda Heibei, and he was already reaching for his handcuffs.

He reached for his waist and realized he hadn't brought it. Since arriving in Tokyo, Kuroda Hei had only provided them with pistols, not handcuffs.

Kuroda Hyōe was not in the mood for a joke and shook his head expressionlessly.

"No, that was just a simple test."

Kuroda Hyōe didn't want to explain too much, and the trio noticed this as well, so they didn't ask any further questions.

However, one thing is certain: Xia Chuan is neither an enemy nor a friend, at least not with the Public Security Bureau, except for Yuri.

"Since you've met him before, if you have time, investigate his identity. Even the police don't have any information about him; the State Taxation Administration is keeping it very secret."

Yamato Kansuke did not agree directly; they came for Gin, not for internal strife.

Whatever grudges Natsukawa and Kuroda Hyōe may have, it has nothing to do with them.

"can."

Zhu Fu Gaoming suddenly agreed.

Kuroda Hyōe left satisfied.

"Gao Ming, why did you agree to him?" Uehara Yui frowned and said, "This might involve a contest between the National Taxation Bureau and the Public Security Bureau. We don't need to get involved."

“I know, I’m just curious about Xia Chuan. His identity doesn’t seem that simple. How can a special investigator from the National Tax Service be a foreigner with such skills?”

"Well, how should I put it? It's like asking Lü Bu to handle paperwork; it's unreasonable."

"Besides, how could the IRS be involved with a winery? There must be something fishy going on here. Maybe if we can unravel this, we can find out his true background."

As expected of the top player in the Nagano Prefecture trio, Morofushi Takaaki had already noticed the problem based solely on what he had seen and known today, as well as his previous limited understanding.

Yuri did not leave immediately. Although he was not in good condition, he was still concerned about his temporary teammate, Rumi Wakasa.

"How is she, doctor?"

At the door of the ward, the doctor was blocked by Yuri as soon as he came out.

This is the real Eisuke Kinoshita.

Upon seeing Yuri, he couldn't help but touch the back of his neck, recalling the scene of being knocked unconscious that night.

However, he didn't really regret it.

That nurse had an amazing figure; I touched everything I could. I was only unconscious for a few hours, which I took as a chance to catch up on sleep.

Anyway, the police can't do anything about his problems.

Because he was also a victim.

The only problem is that it's not easy to report to the higher-ups.

But since things had come to this point, there was nothing Mr. Haneda could do about it; at most, he would just get a scolding.

Kinoshita Eisuke straightened his expression, trying to bury the image of the nurse deep in his mind.

Seeing this expression, Yuri tensed up again.

"Speak your mind!" Xia Chuan frowned; in truth, he didn't quite trust the doctor.

If Rumi Wakasa awakens, it's likely related to this doctor, who is probably one of Yasuharu Haneda's people.

This was something he never expected.

Indeed, the Haneda family has a good reputation in Japan, and they were somewhat disrespectful before. "Her condition is very poor, and she has already been taken into the operating room after the examination."

"The head injury is very serious, and he may be unconscious. You need to be prepared."

He is unconscious again.

Yuri's lips twitched as he looked Kinoshita Eisuke up and down, his clenched fists cracking.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?"

Yuri took two steps forward, almost face to face with the doctor, his breath hitting the doctor's face, and grabbed his collar, saying word by word, "You better speak properly. Wakasa Rumi has already told me that you are actually a spy planted by the person behind her."

"If you don't want to come back to the Public Security Headquarters with me, then don't try anything funny."

"Don't think I don't know about your previous unauthorized changes to your medication. A little investigation into the dosage you received will confirm whether the medication is consistent with the prescription."

Kinoshita Eisuke's heart suddenly raced, sweat beaded on his forehead, and he leaned against the office door.

"It's true. Her condition is very poor. The wound on the back of her head is very serious. Coupled with blood loss, being unconscious is the most conservative estimate. It's not impossible for her to become a permanent vegetative state."

He wasn't lying!

"Alright, whether it's true or not, we'll be able to confirm after other doctors examine her, but at least you've confirmed that she's not dead, isn't that enough?"

"Go home first."

Xia Chuan waved his hand.

Kinoshita Eisuke fled as if he were escaping.

Xia Chuan had sneaked out, so he couldn't drive at all.

Fortunately, Yuri had an official car that he could use freely.

He was distraught and tried to get into the driver's seat, but Xia Chuan lifted him up and pushed him into the back seat.

"Go home, or go get some fresh air?"

Yuri was not shot, and the bruises on his body will gradually disappear over time, so there is no need to worry.

Yuri didn't say anything, he just sat there stiffly.

As the car drove out of the hospital parking lot, the windows were opened, and the night wind rushed into the car, quickly turning the stuffy air cold.

"Did you arrive a while ago?"

The car drove aimlessly through the streets in the early morning. After about half an hour, Yuri questioned, "Since Gin planted a bomb on the stairs, the elevator can't come up either. Our people need to clear the way. You can't just appear on the rooftop like that."

"And that helicopter, letting him leave with just a snap of his fingers, that's going too far."

Xia Chuan also felt it was unreasonable, but he still explained, "The principle behind Kaito Kid's hang glider is actually very simple."

Yuri understood the nonsensical answer.

Xia Chuan meant that he landed directly on the rooftop using a hang glider.

"What about helicopters? How do you explain that?"

"It wasn't hard to guess. The moment I noticed Gin making his move, I already figured out his escape method based on the floor of the ward."

"Mihana General Hospital is relatively close to the southeastern suburbs, so the brewery's helicopters will most likely come from that direction to avoid being detected as much as possible."

"Once I've confirmed this, all I need to do is arrange for someone to intercept them along the way."

"Intercept the aircraft."

Yuri stared at Natsukawa with the look of someone who was looking at an idiot.

"That's right, intercepting helicopters isn't actually that difficult."

Natsukawa thought to himself, "If Joel can fly up and attack helicopters, why can't Kaito, who has a glider, do the same?"

What an international joke.
