Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 831 Xia Chuan's Considerations
Far away in Tokyo, Natsukawa, who was preparing for her marriage proposal, hadn't slept well for two nights.

During the day, I traveled to Nishitama City to inspect the Domoto Music Academy.

That night, I went to the temporary base at the distillery to find out about Vermouth's arrangements.

Even in the early hours of the morning, I would drag my tired body home to think about how to create the right atmosphere.

Sending Yoel to Kyoto was partly out of concern that Haneda Yasuharu wouldn't live to see his proposal, and partly to get rid of Yoel and prevent him from discovering that he was about to propose.

He questioned Anya's words. Since he couldn't send Anya away, he could only send Joel away temporarily.

Upon seeing the text message on his phone, Xia Chuan frowned briefly, then relaxed his brow.

This "ta" whose gender is unknown is very likely Akai Mary.

He couldn't think of anyone else besides Mary Akai.

If Wakasa Rumi could get together with the Haneda family, it must be related to Akai Tsutomu; there's no doubt about that.

The fact that Akai Hideyoshi was adopted into the Haneda family was likely orchestrated by Akai Mary, which proves that Akai Mary and Haneda Yasuharu were actually connected.

The two may be planning to investigate the winery through two different channels.

It's not hard to understand why today's events led to their reunion.

However, by this time, Mary Akai should have long since become a child, and it's uncertain whether she will come as promised.

Even while Xia Chuan was thinking, he didn't forget to reply to the text message.

It's nothing important, just a casual greeting.

The weather differs significantly between Kanto and Kansai, so I would like to remind Joel to wear more clothes to keep warm.

Being physically fit and not needing to be cared for are two different things. You may not need your girlfriend, but you can't ignore her.

That's how dating works; details determine success or failure.

Because Joel was still on the roof, Xia Chuan didn't call, but only contacted him via text message.

This kind of text message conversation gives people a feeling of returning to the innocent era when green bubbles were popular.

Having finished reminiscing about the past, Xia Chuan began to focus his attention on the information he had gathered that day.

Vermouth harbors deep resentment towards herself, and it seems that her marriage proposal has been approved by Karasuma Renya. She has already discovered that many unfamiliar peripheral members have appeared in Tokyo.

In addition, Baileys told him that Curaçao had actually come to Japan, but Vermouth seemed to have some concerns and arranged for her to stay elsewhere.

Clearly, she was also wary of having a mole within the organization.

Unfortunately, she never expected that the undercover agent would be Baileys, whom she had personally trained.

Curaçao is someone to be wary of; his combat strength is not much weaker than his, and he is purely powerful in combat. This kind of person is not easy to deal with.

He's not Conan; he doesn't expect to conquer someone with his personal charm, so he can only try to send them to meet their maker.

Since the operation is to be carried out at the Domoto Music Academy, they will likely disguise themselves as someone else.

After organizing the information from the distillery, he turned to look at the atmosphere design plan.

Since it's a music academy, organ performances are a must, especially with Dean Domoto personally performing.

"These musicians are all quite young."

Xia Chuan checked the information of each performing group one by one, when he suddenly paused, his gaze falling on the information of a woman named Akiba Reiko. It wasn't that the woman was particularly beautiful that caught his attention; it was mainly because the name was very familiar to him.

Those who have watched Detective Conan usually find it hard to forget this woman who exudes a strong sense of wifely love.

"Akiba Reiko, if I remember correctly, Conan's perfect pitch suddenly appeared in a movie. Could this be it?"

Xia Chuan sighed helplessly. Without realizing it, he might have unwittingly become part of the plot of a certain theatrical version.

Let's isolate this issue and continue examining the other arrangements.

The venue will most likely be the Domoto Concert Hall and the fountain plaza in front of it. Kaito can hang balloons all over the sky, adding color during the day and making them glow at night. Then, when he proposes, they will all explode into fireworks.

The Domoto Concert Hall and the plaza in front of it form an island in the middle of a lake, and the surrounding lake can also be decorated with some lanterns similar to those used for wishing candles at lantern festivals.

The proposal time was set for the best atmosphere at night, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to do during the day.

First, we need to lure Joel there with the offer of a spot to perform and rehearse at the Domoto Concert Hall. Then, we need to invite Yuri along and have him arrange some security measures.

This is Joel's only relative, and both for personal and professional reasons, he must witness his sister's marriage proposal.

In addition, during the day, Anya can also patrol with her to find out what Vermouth's plans are. With the information that Baileys and Tequila can obtain, even if Vermouth has strong scheming abilities, she will fail at the last minute.

This time, let's take Curaçao's life.

Conan and the Mori family are coming; after all, they are all good friends of Natsukawa.

Miyamoto Yumi and Sato Miwako are both Yoel's best friends, so she definitely needs to be invited. Considering that the former can't keep quiet, she'll have Sato Miwako trick her into coming first.

Yuri needs to be informed of the truth, and he will likely need to bring some public security officers to ambush him. This is unavoidable, and the Nagano Prefecture trio might also appear.

The police reorganization was completed, and Yuri remained the team leader. However, he now had three deputy team leaders who were unaware of Amuro Tooru's identity. Kuroda Hyōe was clearly still wary of the three, or perhaps he felt it was unnecessary to inform them of this.

If Yuri sends someone over, it will be difficult to escape Morofushi Takaaki's eyes, so I'm including the three of them.

As for the Junior Detective Club, Xia Chuan had already prepared travel tickets in advance. In a couple of days, when the mothers of the three children, including Ayumi, went out to buy groceries, they would all win a travel voucher for the whole family.

Of course, to avoid being deliberate, they are three different places.

In short, get rid of any potential troublemakers first.

If Anya weren't his daughter, and if he weren't able to hear her thoughts, he would have really wanted to send her away with him.

In summary, the plan is actually not complicated; it mainly involves launching a counterattack.

Anya's radar is activated, Kaito is on standby, and Joel is kept in the dark. With Yuri acting as security, Vermouth won't suspect anything amiss with the proposal ceremony.

"In that case, I should be able to understand Vermouth's plan and all her movements before the proposal begins tonight. Then I can get the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with Conan's investigation without giving them any chance, and have Kaito and Bailey help out in secret, so that we can solve the problem as quickly as possible."

"If there are gunshots, the fireworks overhead can be used as cover."

After considering the proposal, Xia Chuan also organized information about Kyoto.

Gin couldn't yet figure out what Haneda Yasuharu would do, but given the other party's aggressive personality, if he could get Akai Mary to come to Japan, then Gin would most likely face a tough battle.

Karasuma Renya, who desires immortality, cannot abandon scholars, and may even become more certain that Haneda Yasuharu has someone backing him because of Yoel's act of saving people.

It seems the pressure of this proposal wasn't as great as I had imagined.

Xia Chuan nodded in satisfaction. With this operation, the safety level of the marriage proposal had been extremely high.
