Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 844 Don't Underestimate My Team (Part 2)

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat tense.

Reiko Akiba is a smart person; otherwise, she wouldn't have reached where she is today.

But it is precisely because I am a smart person that I feel afraid at this moment.

She realized that she seemed to have been drawn into some dark vortex.

What black organization? I've never heard of it. Or is there someone else behind Pu and Jiang, or even a gang?

That makes sense, otherwise there's no way to explain how he had so many plastic explosives.

And these three people do seem to be police officers.

She looked up, trying to peek at the expressions of the others, but her eyes met Xia Chuan's.

"Go back to the concert hall first; we need you for the ceremony tonight." Xia Chuan waved for the other person to leave.

Whether it's a performance or a conversation, Akiba Reiko is not suited to stay here.

"no!"

Yamato Kansuke immediately placed his cane in front of Akiba Reiko, displaying an imposing presence that could block the door and impenetrable all men.

That scruffy beard, sharp eyes, and chiseled face certainly give him a fierce look.

Unfortunately, the person he encountered was Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan didn't say much, and put his leg down on the low table used for reception.

"Click"

The cane was deeply embedded in the tabletop. Yamato Kansuke tried to pull it out, but after several attempts, he found it was stuck too tightly.

"So strong."

Although his palms were a little numb, the force wasn't directly applied to his body. He only felt lingering fear when he couldn't pull it out anymore.

Fortunately, they didn't directly fight Xia Chuan just now, otherwise the three of them might not have been a match for him.

Kuroda Hyōe was right; Natsukawa has a powerful background and is definitely hiding some secret identity.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Akiba Reiko ran away without looking back.

She feared that if she stayed any longer, she would be killed to silence her.

“Mr. Natsukawa, we need to get involved, otherwise we will report this to Mr. Kuroda.”

"The head of the National Tax Service recently made a mess of things, and he probably doesn't want the police to come after him. And then there's Team Leader Yuri. If Mr. Kuroda finds out about this, even if Team Leader Yuri isn't dismissed, it'll be on his mind, and he'll inevitably face some trouble in the future."

All the wise and skillful monks spoke with earnest and heartfelt sincerity.

That was all he could say, because he had just realized that Yamato Kansuke was no match for his opponent.

She was a weakling who relied on her brains to make a living. Uehara Yui knew some police fighting skills, but even if she and Yamato Kansuke were to stand together, they wouldn't be a match for Natsukawa.

Therefore, they had no choice but to rely on Kuroda Hyōe as their backer.

“That’s right. Kuroda Hyōe was a leader in our Nagano Prefecture for a period of time. He’s that kind of person. Not only does his name contain the character for black, but he’s also cunning.” Yamato Kansuke nodded in confirmation.

Natsukawa doesn't know much about Kuroda Hyōe's personality, but the Nagano Prefecture trio shouldn't be bad people. However, the problem is that having more people doesn't necessarily bring any advantage!

Now that Anya's abilities have disappeared, and the concert hall lights are too dazzling, like a beauty filter, it's hard to see through the flaws and details of her disguise.

In addition, he lost contact with Baileys after evening and had no source of information, so he could only assume the worst—that Vermouth had already entered the school.

The addition of the Nagano Prefecture trio wouldn't actually make things any better, since Vermouth wouldn't dare let everyone disguise themselves and come in; at most, it would just be her, Baileys, and Curaçao.

The rest of the peripheral members or members are probably still outside the concert hall or even outside the school. Rather than letting the Nagano Prefecture trio in, it's better to have them guarding the door from the outside.

"no need."

Xia Chuan shook his head slightly: "You've already been exposed outside. The best thing for you now is to leave the school openly through the main gate. That might create some confusion. Staying will only make them more vigilant."

The three remained silent.

They were being presumptuous.

Their identities have indeed likely been exposed, and Xia Chuan's statement makes a lot of sense.

But the reason the three of them came to Tokyo was because of the Black Organization. They definitely wouldn't want to leave so easily now.

"Mr. Xia Chuan."

"There's no point in saying more. The actors for this play have already been decided. You can go out and sneak in again, but only outside the concert hall. We have other arrangements inside the concert hall." This was the greatest favor Xia Chuan could give.

Getting into the school is no problem, but getting into the Lake Island Concert Hall is definitely out of the question.

When the concert begins, the doors and windows are closed.

The reason for having them secretly guard the outside was that when the island in the lake is surrounded by the winery, there would still be manpower to counter-encircle it. The original intention of calling the police was actually this, and now we are just making it clear.

Zhu Fu Gaoming sighed, glanced at the dent on the table, and shook his head. Unnecessary noise would attract the attention of the Black Organization.

"Let's go."

"Morofushi, what do you mean?" Yamato Kansuke questioned.

Kuroda Hyōe has already taken out his weapon; even Natsukawa would have to give him face. It's not impossible for them to force him to stay.

Xia Chuan stepped forward, his face expressionless, his eyes fixed on Yamato Kansuke.

Putting aside the height difference, Natsukawa's eyes were like those of a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey, their calm demeanor putting immense pressure on Yamato Kansuke.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He swallowed hard and forced himself to meet Xia Chuan's gaze.

Okay, he was scared, but Uehara Yui was right next to him. If he showed weakness, wouldn't he lose face?

Natsukawa didn't notice this, but Morofushi Takaaki did. He sighed helplessly and nodded to Yuri: "We will inform Mr. Kuroda Heiwa about this matter truthfully."

After saying that, he strode out of the room.

Yui Uehara followed closely behind.

After glancing at Natsukawa and Yuri, Yamato Kansuke snorted angrily and limped out the door.

Yuri watched the three leave with concern. "They've probably been discovered by the brewery. Vermouth will likely target them and even deploy more people. Are we really not going to let them stay?"

Xia Chuan shook his head slightly and sat on the sofa. "They won't leave. At most, as I said, they'll leave openly and then sneak back. That would be a good thing, at least they'd have one more helper if a conflict arises."

"Besides, Vermouth wouldn't be that stupid. She believes most of the manpower will be outside the school, with at most two or three codenamed members inside, and we have a certain advantage in numbers."

"An advantage?" Yuri murmured.

Does it have any advantages?

He doesn't think so.

When Natsukawa proposes to his sister, he may not be able to leave. If two codenamed members from the Black Organization arrive, he, along with Kogoro Mouri and Conan, can barely buy some time. But what if there are three of them?
Seeing Yuri's worry, Xia Chuan put his arm around his shoulder, like a close comrade-in-arms, and comforted him, "Don't worry, this is a very important day for both me and Joel. We'll have other helpers. Frank will be here later too." "Your ramen-noodle-haired teammate?"

Yuri had only met Frank once or twice, but judging from his height, Yuri thought he should sit at the children's table.

"Don't underestimate my team."

Xia Chuan shrugged meaningfully, then left.

the other side.

Vermouth did receive the notification that the student who was defeated by Yamato Kansuke was actually a member of the brewery's outer circle in disguise, and he notified Vermouth immediately.

"As expected, besides Joel's brother, there were other police officers here. It seems you guessed I wouldn't let you go. You're a worthy opponent, but unfortunately, you and your girlfriend will perish in the flames today."

Vermouth had already imagined the scene of the concert hall exploding, with raging flames burning Natsukawa and Yoel to ashes.

At this moment, Vermouth had already put on a disguise mask and, facing the cool summer night breeze, stepped into the Domoto Concert Hall, which had not yet been officially opened to the public.

Although it was a closed-door proposal ceremony, Xia Chuan still invited quite a few people. In addition to relatives and friends, there were also staff and musicians, making up more than fifty people.

By the afternoon, she had already found a suitable person to disguise herself as.

"The concert hall has a unique beauty when viewed from the second floor."

People nearby were talking quietly.

"What a pity, after tonight, this Domoto Concert Hall will cease to exist." Vermouth sighed to herself, her gaze falling on someone on the stage inside the hall. The two exchanged a glance for a second, a subtle exchange of looks.

On stage, Akiba Reiko rushed back, lifting her skirt, looking somewhat flustered.

However, being a professional soprano, she quickly regained her composure once on stage.

The performance team was on stage, while the second-floor stands housed the team's substitutes and staff. Friends and family, including Miwako Sato, were also present and were in the second-floor stands.

Kogoro Mouri looked worried, not because several members of F4 had died, but mainly because he still had no clue what was going on.

Beside him, Conan was searching everywhere for Natsukawa.

"Xia Chuan told me he would have other ways, but I haven't received any news from him yet. What's going on?"

"Vermouth will definitely make her move tonight. If the bomber also chooses to make his move tonight, then we're all doomed."

Conan looked around and suddenly noticed Yuri dart past him. He immediately got up and ran after him.

"Hey, Uncle Yuri!"

Ran tried to stop him, but Kogoro Mouri stopped her: "Anyway, that little brat doesn't know what a marriage proposal is. Let him do whatever he wants. It'll save him from following me around and getting annoyed."

"Hehe, Uncle Mori also finds it annoying, and so do I."

The sleeping high school detective Sonoko Suzuki and the sleeping famous detective Kogoro Mouri have reached an agreement.

Beside her, Sato Miwako was quite annoyed with Miyamoto Yumi.

"Yumi-chan, can you be quiet for once? I think the reason Haneda Hideyoshi has been ignoring you lately is because you're too annoying."

Miwako Sato felt suffocated.

I was bombarded with questions by Yumi Miyamoto all day long.

It's all Takagi's fault for having such a big mouth.

She lured Yumi here under the pretense of investigating the bombing, but for some reason, Yumi found Takagi to inquire about the situation and learned that the case had actually been taken over by the Public Security Bureau, and the Metropolitan Police Department did not have any law enforcement power in a strict sense.

"Oh dear, it's been a whole day and you haven't said anything. You must be hiding something."

"I saw Mr. Xia Chuan when I came here this morning. Is there something fishy going on here?"

"Look, Xia Chuan's family and friends, as well as Yor's family and friends, are all here. Hey, who's that guy with the ramen noodle hair? I've never seen him before. Is he also a friend of Xia Chuan?"

Frank's forehead, hidden by his hair, suddenly bulged with anger. He adjusted his orange-rimmed glasses and glared at her.

"Alright, Mr. Frank, don't be angry," Shinichi quickly reassured Frank.

This is, after all, Joel's friend, and Mr. Frank does indeed have ramen-noodle hair, so he wasn't wrong.

Shinmei Kaori, standing next to her, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

As a result, Shinichiro was stunned.

Because today, Shinmei Kaori also wore beautiful makeup, making her even more beautiful than usual.

"Damn it, all of you! I should have brought my girlfriend along." Frank was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't invite his girlfriend mainly because he was worried she would tell the IRS commissioner about what happened today.

If something goes wrong, the other party will have to take the blame. But if you know the situation in advance and are prepared, who will take the blame?

Originally, the police could have shared some of the blame, but because of Akiba Reiko, the police have been officially expelled by the National Taxation Bureau. So, if any problems arise, the National Taxation Bureau will have to take all the blame.

"Having received so many benefits, it's only natural that they should take some blame as well."

Frank nodded to himself.

Just then, two more people walked into the corridor of the second-floor stands.

"Is there anyone else?"

Gossip Queen Yumi turned her head to look, then showed a surprised expression. Her gaze swept back and forth between the person who came in and Xiaolan's face. She put her fingers in front of her chest and opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak.

Sensing the strange gaze, Ran followed Yumi's gaze and saw Nakamori Aoko, who looked about 80% like herself, except for her hairstyle.

"Ah, it's Aoko-neechan and Kaito-nii-chan, come over here to Anya."

Anya and Ai Haibara were also in the second-floor stands, sitting with the Mori family. The two children were also wearing adorable princess dresses tonight.

Anya was very happy. She had been fiddling with the hem of her skirt and called Aoko over mainly to show it off.

Ai Haibara was more composed.

It was somewhat unfortunate, because she had absolutely no interest in the beautiful black princess dress; she preferred a white lab coat.

"Hey, Qingzi, you're here too?" Xiaolan smiled and waved, making room for her to come over.

"Hmph!" Kogoro Mouri immediately crossed his arms and stared ahead with dead fish eyes, ignoring everything to express his dissatisfaction.

He didn't like any of the Nakamori family members.

"Ah, it's Ran. I thought Kaito was lying to me. It turns out you really are here. And Sonoko, you're here too."

The three girls had actually met no more than three times, yet they were as close as sisters and sat together. This was thanks to the occasion, as Aoko only knew a few people besides Kaito, and they instinctively huddled together for warmth.

Kaito, with his head resting on the back of his head, came over and sat down next to Kogoro Mouri.

This is Conan's location.

Kogoro Mouri thought about it but didn't say anything, since he didn't want Conan sitting next to him anyway.
