Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 855 I do!
"emmmm"

Xiaolan was speechless.

"Tell me, if Ah-Zhen proposes to me, should I do the same thing and burn down a building to celebrate?"

When Domoto Kazuki, who hadn't gone far, heard this, he almost fell headfirst into the lake.

"forget it"

Frank, standing nearby, quickly intervened: "If Miss has the money, she can simply give it to me. I guarantee I can create an unforgettable wedding. Of course, if your tastes are really that peculiar, then Xia Chuan and I own a blue castle that we can burn down for you, as long as you pay."

Frank had long wanted to give up on Blue Castle. Although it could make money, it required a lot of effort to manage. Xia Chuan, on the other hand, was a hands-off manager who didn't care about anything and handled everything himself.

It would be better to let Miss Suzuki burn it down; then we could collect the money all at once.

How beautiful!

In the center of the stone bridge, Xia Chuan held Joel's hand and leaned against the simple and elegant granite railing, quietly gazing at the lanterns on the lake.

The lanterns, glowing softly, drift along the water, creating a scene that is both tranquil and heartwarming.

"At night, the flowers also lost their luster, but thankfully the firelight illuminated them." Joel was a little nervous and involuntarily told a dark joke.

These words were exactly what Xia Chuan wanted to hear.

"look."

He simply held his palm out in front of him and lifted it upwards.

Suddenly, the flowerbeds on both sides of the lake lit up, like a long beam of light extending outwards, and like dominoes, they quickly connected end to end, forming two large halos of light.

Within the aperture's range, the flowers bloom in vibrant beauty, their petals of various colors reflecting each other, swaying playfully, their graceful forms dancing.

Then, countless balloons burst randomly overhead, and glitter began to fall from the sky.

The orange-red light reflected on it, like autumn leaves, following it like a shadow.

As the wind blows, the sequins sway back and forth, as if a group of young girls are dancing.

"What a nice view--"

Joel opened her arms, feeling the wind on her cheeks, the sequins passing by her beautiful surroundings.

Close your eyes and let go of the unpleasantness brought by the winery incident tonight; at least the wind has a romantic feel to it now.

"Yes, it's really beautiful."

Xia Chuan smiled as he looked at Joel. Her trembling eyelashes, rosy lips, and the swaying skirt in the wind mirrored his current mood.

Suddenly, Joel felt his closed eyes darken slightly, a pair of hands slipped around his waist, a warm touch came from his lips, and he could clearly feel warm breath on his cheek.

The familiar taste—it was Xia Chuan's lips.

The two embraced and kissed unabashedly on the stone bridge.

Joel felt that flushed feeling he hadn't experienced since his first kiss, as if he had drunk a whole bottle of red wine, his cheeks instantly turning red.

However, this time, she no longer needed alcohol to embolden herself for the kiss.

"Shouldn't we call Aunt Yoel 'Mother' now?" Anya looked at Ai Haibara with a blank expression.

"Not yet."

Ai Haibara's expressionless face broke into a slight smile as she earnestly explained, "Uncle Natsukawa hasn't proposed yet. Even after he does, she'll only be considered his fiancée, not his wife."

It was rare for Ai Haibara to explain so seriously, and Anya didn't make any jokes, nodding earnestly.

"But you should be able to call her 'Mom' after the proposal, since all that's missing is a marriage certificate."

"Yeah." Conan also came closer, hands in his pockets, a smile on his face, his hair blowing in the wind, and you could see the expectation in his eyes.

I wonder when he will be able to return to his seventeen-year-old self, confess his feelings to Xiaolan, walk down the aisle, and finally get married.

Yuri watched with gritted teeth, but his heart was calmer than ever before.

Frank patted him on the shoulder: "So what about Miyano Akemi, whom Xia Chuan sent to the Public Security Bureau? Don't worry about her being older than you or about her crimes. After all, she was forced to do it for her sister."

"???"

"Xia Chuan?"

Yuri's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You do not know?"

Frank's smile froze, as if he had said something wrong.

He felt that Xia Chuan must have talked a lot with Yuri, otherwise the other party wouldn't have been so cooperative today.

Judging from Yuri's expression, he clearly knew nothing at all.

So what methods did Xia Chuan use to make Yuri so obedient today?

Wait, that's not important.

The important thing is that he seems to have gotten into trouble.

"Did Natsukawa give me Akemi Miyano?"

Yuri's face instantly contorted into a ferocious grin: "You're saying Miyano Akemi was a gift from Natsukawa?"

He repeated the phrase, his mind racing with thoughts, recalling a time when he had been beaten so badly he was left with nothing but teeth.

"Uh, what did I just say? I don't remember."

Frank slipped away like a slippery eel.

Yuri gritted his teeth, but kept his composure.

The timing isn't right now; we'll have to find Xia Chuan and get to the bottom of this later!
With the balloons no longer obscuring the view, the full moon was finally fully revealed.

The two people on the stone bridge embraced under the bright moon, their silhouettes dreamlike and romantic, inspiring endless longing.

Even a strong woman like Miwako Sato, who is focused on her career and her criminal life, has a strange glint in her eyes, hoping that one day she too will have such a white horse.

etc.
He should be a dark horse, because Takagi Wataru is quite dark-skinned, and compared to the pale-skinned Natsukawa, he can be considered a handsome little dark-skinned guy.

After witnessing Xia Chuan's proposal ceremony, no matter who it is, even if it's Xiong Ji proposing to him, they would probably pale in comparison just thinking about today's scene.

With her hands clasped in front of her chest, Yumi Miyamoto looks incredibly romantic in this idol drama.

Xia Chuan is handsome and assertive, and his conversation with the mysterious man just now gave people a great sense of security; Joel is beautiful and gentle, and although she can be a bit violent at times, she is generally fine, and she believes that he can do a good job as a wife and mother.

"If Xiongji is this romantic next time we meet, then I'll reluctantly let him off the hook."

"hehe."

Sato Miwako rolled her eyes silently. If there were such expectations, then their relationship was probably doomed.

No one disturbed them on the stone bridge. The two kissed for who knows how long before finally parting reluctantly.

Joel's breathing became somewhat rapid, as did Xia Chuan's.

So the myth that kissing can help you lose weight might actually be true.

Xia Chuan thought to himself.

He looked down and took out an exquisite box from his pocket.

"This is."

With her slender hand covering her mouth, Joel already knew what was inside.

Is it a ring?

right?

It must be.

"Although it is not valuable, it has special meaning to me."

As she spoke, she opened the box. Inside the exquisite box was a soft cushion made of silk and memory foam, with a silver ring quietly placed in the recessed center.

The silver on it is somewhat dull and mottled, like an old, worn-out object, with a faint sheen of oil, as if it has been handled and played with frequently.

"This is?"

Joel blinked his pale red eyes, looking at Xia Chuan in astonishment.

It wasn't that she felt it was disrespectful for Xia Chuan to pull out a silver iron ring in this situation; she simply didn't care about such things.

I'm mainly interested in the story behind this silver iron ring.

Yes, since Xia Chuan took it out with such care, it must be very important, at least to Xia Chuan.

"Many years ago, when I first came out of the orphanage, I also went through a period of confusion."

Xia Chuan looked up at the night sky, his eyes filled with memories.

That summer, he happened to witness a gang shootout on the roadside.

Both sides were actually small street gangs, not really any major forces. The so-called shootout was nothing more than submachine guns firing at each other.

Indeed, in a country like the United States where guns are rampant, the use of submachine guns in gang wars is quite common.

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle when a grenade landed at Xia Chuan's feet as he passed by.

Then, the gears of fate began to turn.

That night, one of the gang leaders was sent to his death by a grenade, while another, impressed by Xia Chuan's courage, took him under his wing.

Although the gang was destroyed by another gang in less than half a month under the other party's command, it was an important step for Xia Chuan to get in touch with the underworld.

He still treasures the grenade's pin that he pulled, and he takes it out to look at it from time to time, reflecting on the choice he made that day.

If I hadn't pulled the tab that day, perhaps there would be no Spy Twilight in this world, no fearsome reputation that followed, and perhaps I wouldn't have come to Japan after time travel, meet Yoel, or be where I am today.

His and Frank's fates began with this grenade pull ring.

"So it has such a story."

This was the first time Joel had heard Xia Chuan talk about the reason he entered the dark world, and it was truly a poignant and moving experience.

That's just how people are; there's always something or an event that changes their lives.

If her parents hadn't been in the car accident, perhaps she wouldn't have become a hitman, wouldn't have joined the Metropolitan Police Department, and might have already married and had children at a young age, as arranged by her parents.

"Such a precious item"

Before Joel could finish speaking, Xia Chuan had already taken out the pull ring, took Joel's hand and placed it in his palm, "Such a precious object should be paired with the most precious person, so that it can witness the precious love."

The bracelet was too big, and Joel's fingers were slender, leaving a large gap.

However, she didn't care.

Joel's face was filled with a happy smile. The most precious love is nothing more than giving the other person something you cherish. Its value lies in the emotion, not in the price it represents.

"Although it's not quite right, I like it very much."

Joel clenched his fist, and the large pull ring bulged out a bit, making it extremely uncomfortable to hold.

She gently stroked him, her touch filled with emotion as if she were touching her fiancé's past, everything he had experienced. She closed her eyes as if she were immersing herself in the story, fighting alongside Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan smiled slightly, his large hand holding her small hand tightly, the warmth transferring to the cool back of her hand.

No one would think that such a small, pink fist could easily break a person and a tree that they could hug.

But that's exactly how it is.

"Does it look good?"

Her delicate oval face smiled radiantly, the moonlight illuminating half of her silhouette, the interplay of light and shadow outlining a captivating curve. Her palm faced the bright moon, swaying from side to side, the silver pull ring seemingly gleaming.

She suddenly pouted, an expression Xia Chuan rarely saw, and he was somewhat stunned.

"Since you've given me something so precious, I'm definitely going to reciprocate."

He lightly touched his lips with his finger. Jingying had just been completely devoured by Xia Chuan, but even so, seeing his girlfriend in this state, Xia Chuan still had an urge to kiss her.

He held back.

"How about this."

Joel smiled mischievously and reached into his waistband to pull out a golden cone.

There were two Golden Cones in total. One was just destroyed by a cannonball, so now there is only one left.

She placed the gold cone against her chest, her gaze gentle, and stroked it lightly.

"The Thorn Princess's symbols are the golden cone and the flower hairpin in her hair. Since you've entrusted me with the most precious possession of the spy Twilight, then this is the Thorn Princess's return gift!"

Under Xia Chuan's astonished gaze, the ring at the end of the golden cone was pinched.

"Click——"

Watching helplessly as the ring on the back of the golden cone was broken, Xia Chuan couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Ah this."

"What, you don't like it?"

Xia Chuan shook his head repeatedly: "I like it."

It's a bit violent.

Xia Chuan believed that breaking the ring would require utilizing the property of metal fatigue, while Joel broke it directly with such a small point of force; heaven knows how she did it.

As expected of Joel, he's practically a walking weapon of peace.

The others were some distance away, and Joel happened to have his back to them, so no one saw the golden cone.

All they saw was the two exchanging rings.

Both rings were a bit odd; the silver one was too big, and the gold one was too thick.

"What are they doing? Why did Xia Chuan give me a ring that doesn't fit properly? And the one Joel gave me is also very unsuitable," Miyamoto Yumi complained.

"Hey, Officer Yumi, you think so too?"

Sonoko Suzuki's expression changed, as if she had found a close friend, and she left Ran behind to join in.

Yumi Miyamoto had long been fed up with Miwako Sato. Sensing a kindred spirit, she immediately huddled together and began a heated discussion about the process they had just gone through.

Both of them had boyfriends, and their personalities weren't too different, so they got along very well. Before long, they even started planning to hold a wedding together.

The couple's boyfriends were unaware of the wedding, and they also didn't know that they would have to rescue their girlfriends from the fire in order to successfully propose.

Kyogoku Makoto is alright, after all, he's the ceiling of Conan's combat power. Haneda Hideyoshi, on the other hand, is in a rather miserable situation. Not only does he have to solve the problem of his father being kidnapped, but he also has to deal with the trap set by his girlfriend.

"You two, how about the Blue Castle? It has a really cool vibe. It would be stunning to see it burning down."

Frank's blatant sales pitch was completely ignored by the two men.

"Beautiful lady, will you marry me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Joel's eyes welled up with tears, a happy smile curved his lips, and his voice trembled slightly but was incredibly firm: "I do! I do! I do!"

The sound was resounding, each note longer than the last, echoing across the empty stone bridge.

A few seconds later, the echo arrived gently, as if some mysterious force had heard their call and responded from afar, witnessing their eternal love.

"Wuhu~"

Before Xia Chuan could even get excited, Anya was the first to cheer in victory.

Then came the rest of the people.

(Finally, the proposal was successful! Now, I'm asking for monthly votes. It's a bit of a brain drain.)
