Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 856 The Unlucky Detective
The moment the proposal was successful, the night sky seemed to be set ablaze.

With a "whoosh," the first firework shot straight into the sky and exploded with a "bang."

Immediately, golden sparks flew outwards like a fountain, illuminating the happy faces of the two.

Immediately afterwards, colorful fireworks rose into the sky one after another; the red ones resembled a burning heart, the pink ones a sweet love, and the blue ones a clear and deep affection.

They intertwine and collide, adorning the night sky with a dreamlike beauty.

Sparks fell like a shower of stars, adding a vibrant touch to the proposal amidst cheers and applause, and forever capturing this romance in the fireworks.

The lantern suddenly exploded, completely enveloped in white smoke. Then, as the smoke dissipated, it revealed clusters of orange-red light, transforming into Kongming lanterns that gracefully rose into the sky.

"Oye——"

"\(^o^)/"

"Dad did it!"

Anya excitedly spun around in place, while Ai Haibara stood beside her with her arms crossed, her proud face beaming with a smile.

The others did the same, watching the two on the stone bridge with blessings in their eyes.

"Uncle Xia Chuan and Aunt Yue's marriage proposal ceremony was really quite impressive."

Then, looking at Conan beside her, she said, "Speaking of which, Ran saw a wedding like this, what are you going to do in the future?"

The detective's smile froze instantly; that was indeed the case.
What can Xiaolan do?
He stole a glance in Xiaolan's direction; her bright, sparkling eyes clearly showed that he was completely captivated and would never forget her.

Xia Chuan, you've really given me a big problem.

etc.
After watching for a while, Conan suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

"what happened?"

Ai Haibara noticed Conan's change in expression and asked him about it out of curiosity.

"The concert hall was too dangerous, and afterwards we were besieged by the winery. We seem to have forgotten about one person!"

Ai Haibara seemed lost in thought.

Seeing Ai Haibara's expression, Conan helplessly pursed his lips. She probably only had Anya and Natsukawa in her eyes and didn't realize that Uncle Kogoro Mouri had been missing from the very beginning.

"If Vermouth is disguised as Uncle Kogoro, then where is the real Uncle Kogoro?"

The sentence was somewhat somber. Everyone was either immersed in the atmosphere or looking up at the fireworks. Even Xiaolan did not notice that her father had disappeared.

"Oh, you lost your father-in-law?"

"Damn it, that wretched Vermouth! Could Uncle Kogoro be in the concert hall?"

The Domoto Concert Hall was engulfed in flames, with tongues of fire licking the building's outline. Its once elegant exterior was twisted and deformed in the flames, and thick smoke, like a black dragon, surged out from the windows and door cracks, completely engulfing it, leaving only a ferocious sea of ​​fire.

Given this situation, finding the other person's carbonized body would already be a remarkable achievement, let alone finding the person.

"I remember he went to the restroom once after entering the concert hall. Could it have been around that time?" Ai Haibara asked quietly.

"wrong!"

Conan shook his head in thought: "Kaito deliberately spilled the drink, so it must have happened some time ago."

"It's the cafeteria!"

Domoto Music Academy cafeteria.

That's great. As long as it's not a concert hall, it shouldn't be a big problem.

The loud explosion had long since awakened the famous detective from his slumber. When he woke up, he found himself naked, with only striped underwear covering his last bit of stubbornness. He tried to call for help, but found that his mouth was stuffed with socks.

That familiar taste, it must be mine.

What happened?
The lights above the toilet stalls kept flashing, and Kogoro Mouri was extremely anxious.

Could this be an explosion?!

If so, what will happen to Xiaolan?
His sense of responsibility as a father enabled Kogoro Mouri to unleash unimaginable strength, struggling to kick open the toilet stall door to see what was inside.

"Crack!"

The hinge was kicked off and broke, causing the door panel to bulge outwards.

"Great!"

Just as a glimmer of hope appeared, he discovered that because the lower half protruded outwards, the upper part was slapping straight at him.

"Bang~"

The door slammed firmly into his face. The detective, who had just been feeling smug, saw stars in his eyes, but a wave of drowsiness washed over him again, and he collapsed without any regard for his image.

the other side.

After racking his brains for a while, Conan felt a little relieved. Uncle Mori must have been switched at the restaurant while he was eating. He was probably woken up by the sound of fireworks by now. Given his physical abilities as a top judo master, he should be able to get here quickly.

At this time, Xia Chuan also finished his business.

We kissed for too long, and after exchanging rings we only had a simple kiss. The rest of the ceremony wasn't suitable for others to watch live. It's best to do it at home.

While Joel was still immersed in happiness, Xia Chuan had to deal with matters at the winery, so she and a few other girls got together.

Anya was such a clingy little devil. After the proposal, she wouldn't leave his arms and even called him "Mother" affectionately, making Joel feel like he was floating on air. He couldn't even hear Miyamoto Yumi speaking to her.

"I'm talking to you, Joel!"

"Ah, sorry."

When Joel finally snapped out of his daze, he found everyone looking at him with mockery.

"What are you trying to do?"

"Hehe, Xia Chuan made us keep this from you all day, we almost went crazy with suspense, shouldn't you two make it up to us?" Yumi teased, nudging Yoel's elbow.

"For example, a trip. Even though it's just a proposal, you'll definitely go on a trip, right? Take us with you!"

“Yeah, yeah!” Sonoko chimed in, joining in the fun.

Although traveling is just an ordinary thing for her, a young lady who can go whenever she wants, it would definitely be more fun with more people.

It would be even more fun if we could join other people's trips!
"this one"

Originally, Joel hadn't thought about it, mainly because he was completely immersed in the wonderful feeling of being proposed to and hadn't thought too much about it.

But when Yumi and Sonoko said that, she suddenly became interested.

Perhaps we could try doing that.

With the death of a codenamed member at the brewery and the failure of Vermouth and Baileys's operation, the brewery will likely need to conserve its strength in the short term and will not dare to act rashly.

Although the person in the helicopter bothered her somewhat, Xia Chuan seemed to know what he looked like.

After a little thought, it's possible to take a few days off for a trip, and bring Anya and Ai Haibara along to relax. After all, today's situation was quite frightening, and we need a spontaneous trip to distract ourselves.

"Come on, come on! I remember there's a really fun island there. Not only can you go diving, but I also heard there's treasure left behind by pirates from 300 years ago!"

Sonoko Suzuki spoke as if she knew the island inside and out; anyone who didn't know her would definitely think she was a promoter for the island.

"So what do you all think?" Joel turned to the others, wanting to hear their opinions.

To be honest, I'm tempted, but these kinds of things are more fun when there are lots of people around. It's not like it's a wedding or honeymoon, so it would be a bit boring for just the two of us. I'm sure Anya and Ai Haibara would prefer places with lots of people. Maybe we can bring the other three members of the Detective Boys along.

"I'm quite interested, but it depends on the situation; detective work is quite demanding." Sato Miwako was tempted, but her job was unstable, so she didn't dare agree rashly. "I'm available, hopefully on the weekend."

Aoko Nakamori, a semi-academic underachiever, is very concerned about her academic performance.

Unfortunately, she always saw Kaito as her role model, so even though she was considered one of the better students in the class, she could only be called a "half-bad student."

"Oh, what's the big deal? I'll go even if I have to ask for leave. If all else fails, I'll just skip school."

"Trying from school?"

Sonoko Suzuki patted her chest and said casually, "Of course! You have to experience something different. You're already a high school student, don't wait until graduation to regret it."

"Speaking of which, Kaito used to skip school quite often."

Nakamori Aoko was thoughtful.

Nakamori Ginzo was unaware of this, otherwise he would have given Suzuki Sonoko a thorough dressing-down. Suzuki Jirokichi alone had already driven him to the brink of madness, and as a result, his own daughter was about to be harmed by other members of the Suzuki family.

After chatting for a long time, Xia Chuan finally finished the finishing touches.

In fact, he didn't need to do anything. He just needed to make some contact with the police and then use his connections to negotiate with high-ranking officials in the Metropolitan Police Department to extricate himself and his associates from the situation.

You can't exactly stay up all night giving a statement after you've been in danger.

The visitor was an old acquaintance, Inspector Megure. However, since he was only a police inspector, Natsukawa didn't want to trouble him. It would be simpler to go directly to his superiors.

In short, the money was well spent, and Toshiro Odagiri agreed without hesitation.

With the police involved, the Metropolitan Police Department wasn't under much pressure.

"What are you talking about?" Xia Chuan asked.

"We were talking about travel."

Joel naturally linked his arm with Xia Chuan's.

"Oh~"

A group of girls started chattering excitedly, even though it was a small matter.

There's a saying that goes, "Three women make a drama."

There are seven or eight girls on site now, enough for two performances, so it's naturally a bit noisy.

"Um, there's something you guys forgot about?"

Xia Chuan didn't rush to agree, but instead changed the subject, "Didn't you notice someone's missing?"

"Someone's missing? Who?!" Sonoko scratched her head, her memory, which was still stuck in single digits, was helpless.

"Eh," Sato Miwako frowned. It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, but now that she mentioned it, she did feel like someone was missing, though she couldn't quite remember who it was.

"Suddenly, I feel a bit quiet." Yumi stroked her chin and nodded to herself.

"Eh!"

"I understand!"
When 'quiet' is mentioned, everyone remembers that the famous detective Kogoro Mouri is missing. That woman impersonating Kogoro Mouri, where is the real detective?

"Hehehe, Uncle, you're really a bit pitiful."

Conan rolled his eyes helplessly, feeling both sorry for Kogoro Mouri and thinking that it was better without him.

If Kogoro Mouri had been there, he would have gotten at least a few more punches after the fire.

It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Half an hour later, Natsukawa and the others found the sleeping detective Kogoro Mouri in the men's restroom of the restaurant.

With a small mustache, he rolled his eyes, his hands and feet were bound, his knees were turned outwards, and his arms were raised, making him look like someone who couldn't swim was about to dive.

The partition door, neither too heavy nor too light, landed on him, giving him a bump the size of a palm on his forehead.

Conan couldn't help but flick the bag hard, as a form of revenge.

No one else noticed or cared, but it woke up Kogoro Mouri himself.

"What happened?"

Being stared at in the restroom is bad enough, but to be wearing only striped underwear and having a big bump on your head is really embarrassing and makes you look cheap.

Before anyone could answer, I could see the fire scene outside through the window.

Firefighters had begun extinguishing the fire, but the flames were too intense and their efforts were almost futile, providing the detective with a fresh glimpse into the blaze.

"That's a concert hall, right? Why did a fire break out there?"

Upon not finding Ran, Kogoro Mouri jumped up immediately. Before Conan could untie the ropes, his body suddenly unleashed a strange power that snapped the ropes in his hands.

Then take the first step.

"Uncle, watch your step!"

"Snapped!"

Before the ropes binding his feet were even untied, inertia caused his body to lean forward, and the detective once again had a close encounter with the partition.

"Hey, hey, hey, the rope under your feet hasn't been untied yet." Natsukawa said helplessly, wondering how Kogoro Mouri ever became a detective.
"I thought Detective Mouri was about to unleash his full power," Kaito said with a sigh.

"What kind of 'explosive' is that? The reason it broke free of the rope is probably because when the partition fell, the sharp end of the hinge shaft hit the rope, creating a small notch," Conan replied with his sharp eyes.

"What are you talking about, you little brat? Give me the knife right now!"

Kogoro Mouri angrily left his own mark on Conan's head, then snatched a knife and cut the rope around his ankle.

When he came out of the restroom dressed in a suit and tie, he learned what had happened.

However, he didn't seem to realize that someone had knocked him unconscious; it was as if he had just taken a nap as usual.

"Strange, if we didn't see anyone, he was most likely knocked unconscious from behind."

Natsukawa muttered to himself, glancing at the back of Kogoro Mouri's neck.

"."

Seeing that Natsukawa hadn't spoken for a long time, Kogoro Mori became a little anxious.

"How are you? Do you have any wounds?"

He reached out and touched it himself, but felt nothing.

Kaito leaned closer for a look, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

I didn't feel anything from all those needle marks, so I guess I've lost all sensation in the back of my neck.
That's ruthless, Conan.
Kaito's chill quickly dissipated, and he suddenly realized that this discovery could be used as a trump card.

If Conan causes trouble again next time, I'll threaten to tell Kogoro Mouri about the tranquilizer dart!
Hehe, I'm so smart!
Xia Chuan, unaware of Kaito's complex emotions and assuming he was frightened, gently patted his shoulder in a gesture of comfort.

This is nothing. According to the plot, Kogoro Mouri hasn't even received half of the tranquilizer darts in the back of his neck yet.

"There are some minor bruises, probably because that woman was too rough. I feel like they'll heal soon."

Kaito resisted the urge to retort and helped straighten his collar.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, then gave Kaito a deep look.

"But why do you carry a suit with you, and it's exactly the same as mine?"
