Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 810 Target: Baileys

The deep, dense forest was deserted, with only the faint roar of a car engine and white smoke billowing from the hood, clearly indicating that it had been driven too hard and the engine was overloaded.

The headlights can only illuminate a small area.

Shuichi Akai got out of the car, leaned against the side of the car, took a drag of his cigarette, and silently watched the tire tracks ahead.

Judy is right. Even if they catch up, it will likely be a trap. If the two of them are surrounded, it will be difficult for them to escape.

Furthermore, if the two sides engage in combat, the police who arrive later will only benefit.

The best course of action now is to hide and tell the FBI director to vehemently deny supporting Natsukawa, since there is no evidence to back it up.

As for the few FBI agents who died, they were all Japanese spies recruited by the FBI in recent years, and had no connection with the FBI.

Denying it might offend the Public Security Bureau and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but without a pretext, the other party can't do anything to him.

However, he might not be able to continue using the identity of Shuichi Akai, and he would have to adopt a new identity and go into hiding.

He glanced back at Judy. "Go back to the US and report the situation here to the director. I need more people and more authority."

"This"

Judy hesitated for a moment, but seeing that determined look in his eyes, she was captivated and nodded vigorously: "I understand. Leave the director to me. I will definitely persuade him to support you."

Ghost ship.

In addition to the incident, the ship's central control system was also greatly affected, with many electronic components malfunctioning and the ship's location becoming undetermined, let alone its return.

Fortunately, there were some excellent boatmen among the crew who have begun to make amends.

The only problem is that it takes a long time.

The real culprit was found, and it was learned that someone else was behind the murder, causing great fear among the passengers on the ship.

The ghost ship, isolated overseas, frightened them even more, so they all returned to their rooms to rest and wait for the ship to return.

Baileys and Yukiko Kudo chatted for a long time.

As the conversation went on, they both realized that the other had a problem.

Baileys and Joel were once close friends while shopping together, so she has some understanding of Joel's personality and characteristics.

She discovered that the personality of the person in front of her, Joel, was vastly different from before.

How should I put it? It's just a bit too arrogant.

The topics kept coming, as if trying to keep her occupied.

As Chris Vineyard's best friend, Yukiko Kudo knows her very well.

After so much contact, the way this person speaks, his tone and style are completely unlike Chris's.

"Next, let's try it out. I brought some cosmetics, so I should be able to give you a makeover and give you a brief explanation."

Baileys thought to herself that no matter what the other party had, she could kill them without anyone knowing by poisoning their cosmetics, and then confirm their identity later.

"Uh that"

Yukiko Kudo suddenly felt a little scared, sensing that the other party had ill intentions, but she was unwilling to admit defeat.

For actors, the worst thing is to break character.

They've been acting for so long, if they run away now, what's the difference between that and deserting in the face of battle?
Just as they were in a dilemma, Xia Chuan suddenly came over.

"Take Anya to the bar to find Mr. Mori. I have something to say to this young lady."

The two were both surprised by Xia Chuan's sudden appearance.

Yukiko Kudo was just looking for an excuse, so she took advantage of the one that was offered to her and immediately left with Anya in her arms.

With Kogoro Mouri, an expert in judo, and Heiji Hattori, an expert in kendo, protecting him, he should be quite safe. Even if Vodka wanted to do something, he probably wouldn't have the chance.

Putting her mind at ease, Xia Chuan then turned to look at Baileys.

Anya had already discovered Baileys's true identity.

Vodka was still useful, and none of the other codenamed members had appeared, leaving only Baileys as a potential target. The look of utter disdain, like that of a lamb to the slaughter, sent chills down Baileys's spine, yet she could only force a smile and scoff, "What's with that expression, sir? Are you interested in me?"

She glanced in the direction Anya and the other woman had left, and asked teasingly, "Aren't you afraid that lady will be angry?"

The need to play a role led her to say those words, but at the same time, she also wanted to know if Xia Chuan was the kind of person who would easily change his mind.

If so, then she has a chance.

Xia Chuan looked at Baileys with a strange and complicated gaze.

The other party had previously suspected Tequila's identity, which is beyond doubt and has even been confirmed.

But Vermouth and Gin's situation doesn't seem to indicate that they know.

Baileys did not tell the two of them her suspicions.

It's understandable that Gin doesn't know, but why doesn't Vermouth know either?

This is Xia Chuan's question.

Therefore, before addressing the issue of Baileys, it might be possible to find out the reason.

Baileys remained silent, her eyes darting around, seemingly searching for an escape route or deep in thought.

"Didn't you already figure it out?" Xia Chuan tilted his head slightly.

Baileys and Joel used to have a very good relationship.

Therefore, I have some understanding of Joel.

Joel, on the other hand, is not the type of person who gets entangled with others.

Most of the time, she prefers to be alone, either daydreaming or doing her own thing.

This rather reserved personality improved slightly after being with me, but personality is something that can't be changed so easily.

Bailey's expression changed immediately. It was clear that Xia Chuan meant he wasn't going to play games with her and wanted to be frank and open.

Baileys was lost in thought. She opened her mouth to speak but then closed it again. She took a step back, pulled a passing crew member to her side, pushed him towards Xia Chuan, and ran into the cabin.

"Are you okay?"

"fine."

The crew member shook his head and left, looking back every few steps.

The snake woman's face was not visible, but her figure was excellent, which was why he deliberately approached her. Unexpectedly, he was pushed away by her.

After glancing in the direction of the cabin, Xia Chuan strode after him.

Baileys is indispensable; her fate was already decided when she boarded the ship.

If anyone's to blame, it's Vermouth for sending her to the ship.

Walking through the ship's corridor, Bailey's mind was filled with many thoughts.

At this moment, she could actually reveal her feelings to Xia Chuan.

But would Xia Chuan believe it? He would most likely think it was just a story he told to save his own life.

Moreover, given his current situation, there would be no use in siding with Xia Chuan. He wouldn't be trusted, and Vermouth wouldn't let him off the hook either.

When someone has been a bad person for a long time and wants to reform, they are born with a sense of inferiority about their own inadequacy.

This emotion was clearly reflected in Baileys.

Her hands are stained with the blood of innocents and the sins of others; it's not something that can be resolved simply by saying "turn back before it's too late."

If Xia Chuan belongs to a certain red force, then she will either face death or imprisonment.

She may be a little love-struck, but she's not stupid.
