Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 811 Anya's Decision

Yukiko Kudo glanced at the loudly shouting Kogoro Mouri, then silently returned to her room.

She really didn't want to be around the alcoholic.

After Shinichi Kudo, disguised as a human, solves the case, Heiji Hattori, who came from Osaka, is also pulled into a drinking session by Kogoro Mouri.

Heiji Hattori was drinking casually, while Kogoro Mouri was already frantically pouring himself drinks.

While Xiaolan was away, this guy went on a crazy rampage.

I really don't know how a father like that could have such a well-behaved and kind daughter as Xiaolan.

"Alright, Anya, just stay in my room. Your father will come to pick you up when he's done with his work."

Anya gave an "oh," but her eyes darted around furtively.

Yukiko Kudo took off her disguise to take a shower, unaware of Anya's furtive behavior.

Watching the graceful Yukiko Kudo enter the bathroom, Anya immediately sneaked towards the door.

My father needs my help!

Moreover, she had to keep an eye on Aunt Joel's backyard and absolutely not let any unknown thieves break in.

That Baileys is so vicious, and she even dressed up as Medusa, a snake woman. She's obviously a heartless serpent, and we absolutely cannot give her any chance.

If the other person becomes your stepmother, you're likely to have a rough time from now on.

With that thought in mind, she quietly unlatched the door and slipped out.

Inside the bathroom, Yukiko Kudo had no idea that the well-behaved Anya would run away, and she murmured a song while taking a bath.

The maintenance room on the fifth floor of the ship.

This is the quietest place on the entire ghost ship.

Normally, only the boatmen come here from time to time to check the situation.

However, because there was a problem with the central control system, several crew members were busy repairing it in the control room, so no one would come over.

Baileys really has nowhere else to go.

All she wants to do now is leave.

Unfortunately, he had damaged all the escape boats in advance, making it impossible for him to leave. He could only hide in this cramped corner, hoping that Xia Chuan would not be able to find him.

"He probably never expected me to come here, did he?"

The hope of getting away with it lasted only a few seconds before footsteps could be heard outside the cabin door.

The footsteps finally stopped at the cabin door.

Baileys could feel her heartbeat quickening.

They've been cornered.

Did Xia Chuan really find me so easily?
"Open the door. I have some questions to ask you. If you tell me everything, I might spare your life."

Xia Chuan's voice came through the hatch into the maintenance room.

Baileys gritted her teeth and didn't answer.

With nowhere to retreat, fortunately the hatches were made of metal and were extremely heavy, making it impossible for Xia Chuan to force his way through.

"What's going on with Vermouth? Logically, the plan should have succeeded by now, and they should have sent a helicopter to pick us up."

Baileys prayed silently, but it was just wishful thinking.

She knew that Vermouth had most likely failed.

Because the woman just now wasn't Joel at all.

There is only one answer: Joel is still in Beika Town.

For Vermouth and her two companions, a single Joel was an insurmountable obstacle; their situation was perhaps even worse than their own.

But she was unwilling to extinguish the last glimmer of hope.

"Silence is useless. Even if I can't open the hatch now, you can't leave. Once the ship is repaired and docked, I won't be so polite anymore."

The warm yellow glow of the incandescent light gently illuminated Bailey's delicately shaped face. However, the beautiful woman appeared tense and fearful.

Xia Chuan was right; trapped in the deepest part of the ship, she had no chance of leaving.

Even if Vodka doesn't find him, he'll just leave on his own and won't give Xia Chuan a chance.

"If you wanted to kill me, why did you save me in the first place?"

"What did you say?"

The cabin door was very soundproof, so Xia Chuan didn't hear Baileys's soft murmur.

I said, since you want my life...

Baileys mustered her courage and prepared to say what she had kept in her heart for a long time, but she was interrupted halfway through her sentence.

"Oh dear, Father, what are you doing here~"

Anya's voice carried far in the dimly lit corridor.

She called out as she approached, her tone so forceful it made people frown, as if she wanted to be heard.

She walked quickly, nearly falling several times, but each time she narrowly avoided the threshold of the corridor and reached Xia Chuan's side in a few seconds.

Natsukawa sighed helplessly, "Why did you come? Didn't I tell you to go with Aunt Yukiko?"

Anya's appearance disrupted Xia Chuan's thoughts and also interrupted Baili's sweet words.

I always felt that these words would be difficult to say in front of the other party's daughter.

Anya screamed in her heart: Aunt Joel, if it weren't for me this time, your harem might have caught fire!

However, Anya pretended to be clueless, put her finger to her lips, and asked curiously, "Father, what are you doing here? If you need to use the toilet, there's one in the room."

Xia Chuan didn't want to show violence in front of his daughter, but leaving at this time was definitely not an option.

Since Anya also knew quite a bit about the distillery, he didn't intend to hide anything, but silencing them seemed to be out of the question.

He softened his tone, patted Anya's head, pulled her behind him, and said again to the door, "Come out, I won't do anything to you."

After a long while, there was no sound from inside.

Xia Chuan looked at Anya and nodded slightly.

Ania suddenly broke out in a sweat.

In fact, she had been listening to Baileys's inner thoughts all along.

The other person was in a state of confusion, considering whether or not to explain the situation to their father.

Should I stop it?
According to the inner voice she overheard, if Baileys didn't reveal her true feelings, her father would kill her; if she did, she might have a chance to live.

But if the other person tells my father what they want to say, will he fall in love with someone else?
This is what she is most worried about.

Comparing the two, Anya would definitely side with Joel.

Although one is an assassin and the other is also an assassin, she is, after all, Aunt Joel. If I don't do something, I'll feel somewhat sorry for her.

But at least Baileys saved a human life!
The decision to save a precious life was made in the hands of a five-year-old child.

Anya is under immense pressure.

On the one hand, she didn't want Baileys to ruin her family.

On the other hand, she didn't want anyone to die because of her words, even if that person was a bad guy.

It's unrealistic to expect the father to let the other party off easily.

Anya is caught in a dilemma, with two little figures vying for power in her mind.

Anya in the spy Bondman version: Although we are spies, we must also have a sense of justice. The meaning of espionage is not to create needless killings, but to achieve world peace. If the price of peace is death, then what is the point of our efforts?

Anya (Kamen Rider version): Although we are on different sides, we share common expectations, and I agree with your idea.

Anya: Can you say something I can understand?
