Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 840 Precious Images
Yuri now reminds her of that innocent boy who came back for help after being bullied when he was a child.

Although the two had grown up, their bond remained strong, so she slowly loosened her fist.

"Hey, Joel, so you're here. What are you and Yuri talking about? I think I heard something about 'liking' or something. Oh, and I also heard my name. Were you looking for me too?"

Xia Chuan's voice was very abrupt.

Or perhaps it was because Joel used all his strength and focused all his energy on saying those words that he didn't notice Xia Chuan's appearance.

"boom!"

Yuri flew backward in a starfish shape, crashing hard into the wall.

Fortunately, the outer surface of the wall was covered with a layer of luxurious hemp-textured sound insulation cotton, which helped it maintain its shape after the force was absorbed.

"No, no, I just had a few words with Yuri. That kid doesn't care about his work at all. He knows he's on a mission, but he still runs around. I gave him a lesson on behalf of his boss."

"Is that so?" Xia Chuan looked at the two suspiciously, his gaze finally settling on Joel.

At this point, Joel should still be unaware that he is proposing today.

Although she wasn't dressed up in a particularly elaborate way, this pale yellow dress still looked incredibly beautiful on Joel.

Even a lotus emerging from the water is nothing more than this.

It would have been even more perfect if it hadn't been for that punch.

"Yes, I just haven't seen my sister in so long, so I was eager to have a heart-to-heart talk with her."

"What's on your mind?"

Xia Chuan narrowed his eyes, pulled Yuri up, looked at him scrutinizingly, and opened and closed his mouth to ask if the other party had revealed anything.

Feeling the force on his shoulder, Yuri's lips twitched.

I really don't know how miserable the children these two will be when they have them.

If they misbehave and get hit by a mixed doubles match, it's hard to say whether they'll kick the bucket.

He had accepted the facts and was beginning to consider his nephew's tragic future.

Xia Chuan decided to go back and ask Yuri again; the primary task was to keep Yoel calm.

"You should already know about the Domoto Concert Hall incident. The main reason I came here is because Mr. Mori was invited to help solve the mystery, and that's why he called me along."

"After you arrived, I found the organ concert to be truly amazing, so I asked you to come back and see it. After all, no matter how busy you are, you should still take a break."

I gave a brief explanation, and also tested whether Joel had noticed anything.

"I see."

Joel nodded, a bright smile on his face, and affectionately put his arm around Xia Chuan's shoulder. "I noticed on the way here that Hondo Kazuki really values ​​this concert. The decorations are indeed very beautiful and romantic."

"So, do you like this arrangement?" Suppressing his inner excitement, Xia Chuan asked with feigned seriousness.

"Tch—he's getting all smug." Yuri grumbled slightly, then walked away with a sour look on his face.

He won't eat this dog food.

"Of course I love it. It's like a dream. It's just as good as Dorobiga Park when there are events. Thank you for bringing me here."

Twenty-seven-year-old Joel possessed the innocent charm of a young girl, the physique of a mature woman, and a cool, ethereal voice, almost fulfilling all of Xia Chuan's fantasies.

He held her slender, delicate hand tightly, their hands clasped together, their eyes meeting.

"There were so many people at the concert that it actually affected the experience a bit, so I specially asked Mr. Kazuki Domoto to perform for us beforehand. It was just a few of us, and we sat in the middle of the audience."

"Ah!?" Joel covered his mouth, exclaiming in surprise, "Isn't this a bit bad?"

She said it wasn't good, but her eyes shone like stars. Xia Chuan was mesmerized and couldn't resist kissing those glistening lips.

He couldn't wait until tonight to propose; he just wanted to kiss her right now.

Joel was almost caught off guard, giving a rough response, but then became increasingly adept at it.

In fact, the two of them had already slept in the same bed. Except for the most important plot point, everything else had already happened.

"Wow~"

Anya peeked out from around the corner, watching the melon while using her new camera to capture this precious moment for her father and Aunt Yol, who was about to become a mother.

As for the old ones, in Guaz...
Closer to home.

After a long period of intimacy, their eyes were glazed over, their pupils reflecting each other's images.

"Look, my makeup is all ruined."

Xia Chuan smiled gently and licked her lips: "It's okay, I need to put on makeup before the concert starts."

"Oh, I need to put on makeup too?"

Joel's makeup skills are indeed lacking, and it takes a lot of time. Today's light makeup was done for her by Shinmei Kaori. If she did it herself, she might not even make it to her flight.

"Of course, this is Mr. Domoto's request. After all, it is a solemn concert and we should give it enough respect. The same applies to the audience at the formal concerts later on."

Domoto Kazuki didn't actually make that request. He only wanted to have his picture taken, and the makeup was just a bonus so that he wouldn't be criticized by Joel when he looked at the video later.

“So that’s how it is”

"Don't worry, someone will do your makeup."

Despite her natural beauty, Xia Chuan still spent a lot of money to hire a makeup artist.

Xia Chuan first introduced Joel to the performers and had them sit for a while. During this time, Xia Chuan also observed whether the setup was suitable for Joel.

As evening approached, the twilight had not yet completely disappeared from the horizon.

At this time, the island in the middle of the lake presents a different kind of beautiful scenery. Standing on the stone bridge and looking at the lake, it feels as if you are in an orange-red ocean.

"What a beautiful sight!" Joel exclaimed.

"Take Anya back to her place first and then take Ai out for dinner. I need to go check on Mr. Mori. After all, the case hasn't been solved yet, so we still need to be on the safe side."

"it is good."

Unsuspecting, Joel left with Anya.

Anya gave her father a firm look, as if to say that she would keep an eye on Aunt Joel and make sure the surprise that was about to happen was never discovered.

Xia Chuan waited on the stone bridge for a while, and only after confirming that Joel had left did he go to find Yuri, who was still in the concert hall.

Yuri continued to patrol the concert hall, searching for any potential bombs.

Although Xia Chuan told him the number of bombs in advance, there was no guarantee that the brewery might have been involved, and there might be even more bombs.

Of course, Yuri wasn't the only police officer on patrol. The reason he patrolled alone was to reduce the risk of being discovered.

The police dispatched a team of twenty people, including a three-person team from Nagano Prefecture.

However, with so many people around, these individuals had already disguised themselves as school teachers or staff members and were not located in the concert hall area.

"How's it going? Have you found anything?"
