Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 822 The Ugly Shuichi Akai
When will I be able to face unexpected situations with composure, calmness, and an aura of unwavering confidence, just like I do?

Xia Chuan glanced at Kudo Yusaku, who suddenly raised his eyebrows with a smug look on his face, and was full of confusion.

Was there something wrong with my explanation, or was my emotion not strong enough, allowing the other party to see through my flaws?

Is this Japan's top mystery novelist?

Never mind, at least we have to finish the play. He'll bring up any problems he encounters.

Xia Chuan regained his composure and said, "An accident did happen. There were quite a few codenamed members looking for Ai, as well as many peripheral members. At this time, Joel received a notification from Mr. Kudo that Conan had been taken away."

He shrugged. "Because of Conan, Joel left early, but she didn't know that Vermouth would discover Conan's identity so quickly and find her home. By the time she realized something was wrong and wanted to go back, the winery had already blocked the door."

"Actually, the plan changed a lot here, so the colleague who was pretending to be me could only inform my backup plan, which is the FBI you trust."

Xia Chuan pointed specifically at Conan.

After being pointed at like that, Conan suddenly had a bad feeling. Considering Shuichi Akai's personality, his face suddenly darkened.

"I didn't expect that Shuichi Akai would turn against me at the last minute. Although he didn't join forces with Vermouth, he had the idea of ​​taking Ai Haibara away because he was the only one there."

"He probably figured out Haibara's identity too."

“Yes, after all, he was Miyano Akemi’s ex-boyfriend. Miyano Akemi should have shown him photos of Miyano Shiho when she was a child.” Kudo Yusaku nodded, chin in hand. Natsukawa’s statement still seemed perfectly reasonable.

"At this point, the whole game was completely out of my control. My colleagues couldn't contact me or Joel outside, so I had no choice but to let them leave."

"It's already a great achievement that my colleagues managed to keep Ai Haibara from being taken away."

"I'm sorry, Conan, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Xia Chuan suddenly became listless, like a dejected young man who couldn't find a job, appearing weak and helpless.

"No, it's okay."

Conan was stunned by this sudden turn of events and quickly said, "It's not Natsukawa's fault, it's mainly because Akai Shuichi is unreliable."

"Damn it, I was too trusting of them before that guy started acting so recklessly, which also affected your judgment of the FBI."

Having already had a bad impression of the FBI, and then being bombarded with a bunch of negative news about Shuichi Akai by Natsukawa, Conan's image of this super agent immediately changed. His mouth revealed fangs, his eyes were fierce, his ears gradually lengthened, and the nails on his outstretched hands seemed to grow endlessly.

— He has become a vampire count who can stop children from crying at night in Europe and America.

"I can't blame you for this. I was also deceived by his sweet talk. I thought that with the head of the National Tax Service backing him up, he would cooperate obediently. He does have a lot of resentment towards Gin. Knowing that Ai Haibara is related to the brewery, he was willing to tear up the agreement to take action."

Conan remained silent, his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Despite saying that, Conan still felt a sense of guilt.

Yusaku Kudo patted his son on the shoulder and sighed, "I told you before, it's better to trust the Public Security Bureau than the FBI. After all, this is Japanese territory, and only the Public Security Bureau will have some scruples when they act." "By the way, what's the situation with Yuri? I remember several members of the brewery's outer circle were only unconscious, not dead."

"Moreover, although those FBI agents are dead, a little investigation can confirm that their identities are questionable. We can then lodge a protest with the United States, and perhaps Shuichi Akai won't be able to continue to act like a tyrant in Japan." Conan sincerely expressed his remedial measures.

In his mind now, the FBI has become an evil organization on par with the Distillery.

Xia Chuan first nodded, then shook his head.

"The members surrounding the distillery are quite good; they've provided information on a few outposts, but their locations are rather scattered. These people were probably temporarily transferred from various places, and their outposts are all outside of Tokyo. Yuri has already sent people to monitor them, and once they discover anything, they will take action."

"However, there's no good news from the FBI. Those agents are probably FBI agents based in Japan. There's no information about them even going abroad. The only potentially problematic money transfer information we can find is with a multinational corporation. Their reason is that they hired security personnel, so there's no way they can be connected to the United States."

Xia Chuan shrugged: "So, if the FBI refuses to admit it, there's nothing the police can do."

“Yes, that’s definitely the FBI’s tactic. They use American multinational corporations as bait, offering them benefits, and many people do fall for it and become spies.” Kudo Yusaku pondered and tapped the table. “However, it’s an undeniable fact that the FBI is in Japan. Didn’t the IRS arrest them before? That’s enough reason to deport them all.”

What Yusaku Kudo could think of, politicians could naturally think of as well, and that's what they did.

Shuichi Akai is on the national blacklist. His face has been entered into the police system. Whether it is the Public Security Bureau or local police, they will arrest Shuichi Akai as soon as they see him.

Xia Chuan simply nodded, but didn't have much expectation for it.

After all, it's Shuichi Akai. Although he himself doesn't know how to disguise himself, there are many people on the dark web who do, including the FBI. If he wants to disguise himself as someone else, it would be too easy to forge an identity document.

At this point, you just need to hold your position and wait for the opponent to disguise himself as Subaru Okiya.

As long as it's Subaru Okiya, he's still under my nose.

Compared to a prophet like himself, Shuichi Akai was at a huge disadvantage.

Even if you don't know the plot, you still have Anya.

Huh.
Xia Chuan suddenly felt that he might actually be the protagonist.
Conan's cheat codes are his deductive reasoning ability and Professor Agasa's gadgets.

But compared to Anya's and her own precognition of the plot, it all seemed so insignificant.

"Anyway, that's the gist of it. Even now, the director of the National Taxation Bureau is bothering me." Xia Chuan sighed helplessly, looking utterly exhausted. Even Conan felt that his questioning was a bit excessive.

Yusaku Kudo paced back and forth, chin in hand. "We haven't found Shuichi Akai, and the people from the brewery will likely be forced into hiding because they've been tricked. There will probably be a period of silence for a while."

"So, Shin-chan, how about we go on vacation to the US? You're not going to grow bigger anytime soon anyway."

Taking me out with you will turn you into a 25-year-old young mother. Do you think I don't know what you're planning?
Conan secretly rolled his eyes and winked at his dad.

Yusaku Kudo pretended not to see it and took care of his own business.
