Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 813 Vodka's Ambition
Shinmei Kaori and Shinide Tomoaki are still far behind, and it will take too much time for them to grow up. He doesn't have that much time to waste.

Baileys, on the other hand, was wondering whether she should confess her feelings now, whether Xia Chuan would accept her, and if all else failed, being a mistress wouldn't be so bad.

Anya, who was eating melons up close, heard Baileys's idea and her eyes lit up.

According to Conan and his friends, the term "mistress" is not a good thing; it usually describes a beautiful woman who is kept as a mistress outside the marriage.

But if the other party won't threaten Aunt Joel's position as a mother, then it doesn't really matter.

She felt a pang of pity when she saw that her father seemed to be in a difficult position as well.

After taking a bath, Yukiko Kudo discovered that Anya had disappeared and urgently searched for Kogoro Mouri and Heiji Hattori.

Upon hearing that the child had disappeared, Kogoro, unaware of the situation, simply assumed that the child had gone off to play.

Given that the other party seemed completely lost, Yukiko Kudo didn't expect to be of any help. She decided to rely on the famous detective Heiji Hattori, who was on par with her son!
Unlike Kogoro Mouri, Heiji Hattori knew about the sake brewery, but he couldn't explain too much about it.

It's fine to play around, but what if Vermouth catches me?
While searching, the two discovered that Xia Chuan was also missing.

There were no two people anywhere – on the deck, in the rooms, in the lobby, at the bar, and even in the toilets.

The father and daughter seemed to have vanished from the ship.

"Aunt Yukiko, you haven't found it over there either?"

After searching around, the two met in the hall, where Hattori Heiji frowned and asked a question.

The big star was a little annoyed by the term "auntie," but she knew what was more important, so she didn't argue and nodded seriously: "Do you think they might have gotten into a fight with the people from the winery?"

“I remember Xia Chuan saying that there are two codenamed members of the ship’s brewery, and quite a few peripheral members as well.”

"I didn't see any vodka either," Hattori Heiji muttered to himself.

Xia Chuan had told him that Vodka could disguise himself as a green zombie with a face full of wrinkles.

After searching for a while, no trace of the other party was found.

"Could it be on one of the lower floors?" Yukiko Kudo suggested.

“It’s possible. I’ll go down and check. You wait up here. If communication is restored, contact Sister Joel immediately.”

Yukiko Kudo nodded vigorously. She wouldn't be able to help if she went down there, and if she encountered any members of the brewery, she would only become a burden.

"Let's open the door and talk. Perhaps there's still room for negotiation between us," Xia Chuan said calmly.

"it is good."

This time, Baileys didn't hesitate and opened the heavy hatch directly.

Xia Chuan first glanced at the other party to confirm that they had no weapon and showed no intention of making a move, then nodded.

"Go in and talk."

Xia Chuan picked up Anya and went inside, then locked the door again.

Not long after the two left, Vodka, with his green skin and wrinkled face, appeared on the fifth basement level.

"Strange, where's Bailey's?"

Vodka frowned as he inspected each room.

He searched all the way down.

After the case was closed, he and Baileys were supposed to meet in his room, but he waited in his room for a long time and Baileys did not appear, so he went out to look for her.

As he walked, Vodka suddenly felt something under his feet.

Looking down, I saw a small pink pendant.

Upon seeing the pendant, Vodka, whose face was full of scars, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Based on my experience of reading dozens of news reports about the Sleeping Detective, this thing is highly suspicious.

If I remember correctly, this seems to be a small decoration on Xia Chuan's daughter's handbag.

After the case was solved, Anya took off her Conan disguise. In addition, she had been warned by Baileys beforehand, so she knew that Conan was actually Anya.

"How did that little girl's things end up here?"

Vodka picked it up with a puzzled look, then a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

Is Anya still here? If so, can I kidnap her? Vermouth's goal is to capture one of Xia Chuan's daughters.

This opportunity is now within reach!

The helicopter was slow to arrive to pick them up, and Vodka also noticed the problem; Vermouth's chances of failure were very high.

If he could capture Anya, he could not only claim credit but also outdo Vermouth, giving his elder brother even more reason to drive her away.

He doesn't like Vermouth either.

Do it when you think of it.

Vodka immediately began to examine it more carefully.

If you were just looking for Baileys to kill time and see what the other person did, now you've found a proper job.

"This thing was left on the fifth basement level. If we're lucky, she might still be playing here."

For once, Vodka had a breakthrough and started reasoning seriously.

Thinking of this, Vodka's heart pounded. His breathing became rapid, like a bellows, his fists clenched, his blood boiled, and excitement was about to set him ablaze.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The excitement she had just felt instantly turned to cold. She stiffly turned around and saw Hattori Heiji, sweating profusely, standing on the steps at the end of the corridor.

"Why is he here?"

"Are they also here looking for the little girl?"

"My guess was correct."

Heiji Hattori had no idea what Vodka was thinking. He tensed up, ready for a possible sneak attack at any moment.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the vodka in his hand.

"That's Anya's pendant?"

Hattori Heiji stared in horror at the pendant.

"Ania is in trouble; she's likely been kidnapped by Vodka."

"With Baileys and Xia Chuan not here, the situation is a bit difficult. I don't know if Vodka has a pistol."

This situation left Hattori Heiji with no room for further thought.

Do you know what this is?

Feeling relieved that he hadn't been discovered, Vodka decided to team up with the other party to find the little girl. With two people, they would be even stronger, and once they found her, they could deal with the famous detective from Kansai.

"He doesn't know who I am?"

Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up, his body relaxed slightly, and a look of worry appeared on his face: "Yes, that's a keychain belonging to one of the children who came with me. She just got lost. Have you seen her?"

This is a test to see if Vodka has kidnapped Anya.

Vodka shook his head and said with concern, "How about I help you look for it? The ship is so big, it would be a big deal if a child got lost. We'd better find him as soon as possible."

Ha ha.

Knowing that something important has happened, you should tell the crew now and ask them for help.

Hattori Heiji immediately noticed the problem in the other person's words.

However, it is certain that Anya is not in the other party's hands, otherwise the other party would not have offered to help her.

Great, this gives us room to maneuver.

"Uh, I've checked all these tool sheds, and there's no one inside."

Seeing Hattori Heiji searching through the first few rooms, Vodka called out to remind him.

See, there's another loophole. This member of the winery's code name really isn't very smart.

When I find Anya, his attention will be drawn to her immediately. I'll take that opportunity to knock him unconscious with a chop to the neck.
