Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 784 Conan's Request for Help

Xia Chuan quickly guessed the reason after a moment's thought.

Gin must have discovered it too; Kinoshita Eisuke is very likely one of Wakasa Rumi's people.

In Gin's perception, Rumi Wakasa is a "scholar," and scholars are important targets for the brewery. Knowing this, Eisuke Kinoshita became the brewery's target.

This was something Xia Chuan hadn't expected.

With Kinoshita Eisuke taken away, Haneda Yasuharu will likely be exposed.

In this way, knowing that Wakasa Rumi has no connection with the "scholars," one wonders what will happen.

"Xia Chuan-ge, did you think of something?" Conan accurately captured Xia Chuan's facial expression and asked excitedly.

"It's quite possible that the distillery was behind it. Was there any evidence left at the scene?"

Conan was initially delighted, but upon hearing the following words, his expression darkened.

He can easily solve high-IQ crimes, that's true, but there has to be a suspect first!

This murder and kidnapping case has no suspects whatsoever. Gin and his gang have long since disappeared. It's a three-nothing case: no method, no alibi, and no suspects.
"Okay, I understand. You can go back now."

"Then this case..."

"You haven't found any evidence left behind, the time of death is at least six hours, enough time for them to fly abroad."

"That makes sense, but are we just going to let them go like this?"

Conan got excited again. He had finally caught the tail, and he didn't want to let it go so easily.

“They can’t have gone very far with just one person, and I think they must have a base or something in Tokyo, like the White Hato Pharmaceutical where Haibara used to be. They definitely haven’t left Tokyo.”

"Even the local bullies can't be found by the police, so what about you?"

Natsukawa's gaze made Conan's face flush slightly, but he had nothing to say.

"I'm going back."

Conan suddenly calmed down. He realized that Natsukawa was still the same as before.

He can offer some reasoning support, but he's clearly uncooperative when it comes to providing assistance.

"strangeness."

"When did Conan become so calm?"

"Never mind, he might have other ideas, but he's the main character, so he shouldn't die."

Xia Chuan glanced in the direction Conan had left and shook his head.

With Kinoshita Eisuke arrested, the matter is settled. Wakasa Rumi is no longer of any use, and the brewery will probably not waste any more time on her.

Conan wants to find Gin, but Natsukawa remains skeptical and intends to wait and see how things develop.

Moreover, staying at home will be more helpful to Conan.

The group of people monitoring him outside the distillery are still there, and he doesn't plan to deal with them for the time being.

Since the layout is already clear, and the peripheral members probably don't know where Gin is, it doesn't really matter whether we capture him or not.

On his way home, Conan gripped his phone, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, looking rather mature beyond his years.

He is thinking.

Should we ask him for help?

"But they are not police officers after all. If you are caught by the police while acting with them, there is a high probability that you will be implicated."

"Besides, that Shuichi Akai seems to be very smart. If we get to know him too much, he'll eventually realize that I'm different from ordinary kids."

Although things are very different now, Conan can still be explained by his precociousness.

But if they had more contact, Shuichi Akai would definitely not believe it.

As Sherlock Holmes famously said, "When you eliminate the impossible, what remains, however improbable, must be the truth." He deeply believed in this, which is why he maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards the FBI.

Now, it seems he has no choice but to contact the other party.
After much deliberation, Conan still couldn't make up his mind.

Once his identity is exposed, he may face arrest from various parties, and he has no confidence in escaping arrest by the police or the FBI.

Once captured and studied, he will be locked in a glass enclosure in a laboratory, where researchers will observe him every day as if he were an animal.

"Hey, Conan, what are you doing here?"

As Conan walked, he suddenly heard Ran's voice. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Ran.

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, Ms. Judy is resigning, so Sonoko and I went to her house yesterday to celebrate and stayed overnight. Speaking of which, we encountered a case yesterday, which I solved."

Ran began recounting the case with a boastful air, unaware that Conan was lost in thought.

"I remember now." Conan then recalled that Ran had indeed called him last night about a case, but since he also had a case to handle, he only helped with the analysis and didn't ask too many questions.

I never expected it would be with Ms. Judy.

This teacher, Judy, always seemed strange to me, both during my previous encounters at the arcade and the few times I met her afterward.

What did you remember?

"Oh, it's nothing." Conan shook his head.

"Sister Xiaolan, I won't be home for dinner tonight."

Conan finally made up his mind. This time, he had to take action and also see the strength of the FBI.

"Hey Conan, aren't you coming home for dinner? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find my mother."

Having my mom in Tokyo makes it much easier to make excuses sometimes, since I can't always use Professor Agasa as an excuse.

Conan, who had run to a corner, took out his phone and dialed the number he remembered.

This was the number Shuichi Akai left him, telling him not to hesitate to ask for help if he needed it.

Of course, this is on the premise that it is related to the winery.

"Hello, who is it?"

Shuichi Akai's tone remained as calm as ever. Even when he ran into Gin last time they met, he remained calm and composed, exuding an air of superiority.

"It was me. I discovered clues about the Black Organization."

Conan's childlike voice was very easy to recognize, and Shuichi Akai immediately recognized him, saying without hesitation, "Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, Shuichi Akai stared blankly at his phone.

"What's wrong?" Judithelin asked curiously, "Whose call was it that made you need to pick them up?"

The young lady was a little jealous.

"The police just clashed with Gin yesterday. We should keep a close eye on the police these next few days. Maybe we can take advantage of their momentum and find traces of Gin."

"I don't really have much confidence in the police." Shuichi Akai shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain. He was not even as good as a child.

"She's a cute little informant; you should know her too."

"A cute little informant?"

Judy paused for a moment, then, as if remembering something, said, "Speaking of cute little informants, I have met a very interesting little boy."

Half an hour later, Conan finally got into Shuichi Akai's car, a Chevrolet C1500.

In the driver's seat, Shuichi Akai was still wearing the same undershirt and jacket, but since the weather was warm today, he wasn't wearing a felt hat.
