Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 97 Good Omen

The sea breeze blows, and the unique comfort of dawn fills my heart.

Xia Chuan's golden hair fluttered in the wind, making him look refreshed. At this moment, his gaze was fixed on Joel.

Beautiful women always bring a sense of peace and tranquility.

"Yes... I think I saw a girl on Moonshadow Island yesterday who looks a bit like Miss Joel. She was dressed in all black, and her appearance and height were similar to Miss Joel's. If it weren't for their completely different personalities, I would definitely have thought that person was you!"

Joel's expression froze, as if a pause button had been pressed. The wind blew her hair up, obscuring the light in her eyes, and she seemed to have crashed.

yesterday?

They're both dressed in black, the same height and appearance, only their personalities are different?

I can immediately picture it with my own eyes.

It sounds a bit like what I would look like if I dressed up as the Princess of Thorns.

Did Mr. Natsukawa see me dressed as Princess Thorn yesterday?

"But, maybe you're mistaken. I don't have any sisters, and the world is so big, it's normal to have people who look alike!"

Joel was a little nervous, his eyes darting around like a little girl being questioned by her parents for doing something wrong.

She nodded resolutely, using this method to calm her inner panic.

Seemingly afraid that Natsukawa wouldn't believe him, he pointed to Conan and said, "Look, for example, Conan. When he wasn't wearing his glasses just now, he looked a lot like a child I'd seen before."

I think the little boy's name was Shinichi Kudo. It must have been about ten years ago. That little boy named Shinichi Kudo left a deep impression on me, so I remember him.

Then, a while ago, I saw a picture of Shinichi Kudo in the newspaper, and then I ran into a high school student in Ekoda who looked a lot like him, whose last name was Kuroba. That says a lot!

This was the first time Xia Chuan had ever heard Yoel speak so much at once, and he was quite surprised.

Indeed, what Joel said makes a lot of sense.

This is consistent with his previous guess.

The world of Ke Xue (a fictional character) looks like a standard operating procedure.

“That makes sense.” Xia Chuan nodded, about to continue the conversation.

Suddenly, Conan's head appeared on the screen.

"Conan, is something wrong?" Natsukawa raised an eyebrow, his meaning quite clear.

Go do what you're supposed to do and don't disturb my time alone with Joel. Didn't you see Anya quietly watching the sunrise?
The glow of dawn shone on Conan's glasses, obscuring his expression.

Conan did not answer Natsukawa's question, remaining silent for two seconds, his awkward manner extremely strange.

What?

Just as Natsukawa was about to pick him up, he saw Conan suddenly look up.

"Uncle Xia Chuan and Aunt Yue'er are such a perfect match! The two of you standing together are like a match made in heaven."

"Your height, looks, and character are a perfect match. When are you getting married? Can I be a flower girl with Anya?"

After finishing his long speech, Conan took a breath, his face flushed.

How embarrassing.

But there was nothing they could do; Anya had leverage over them.

Besides, saying nice things won't cause any problems. Although it might lower my detective status a bit, there's no one else here, so it should be fine, right?

"Conan!"

Natsukawa pretended to be angry, picked up Conan and threw him to Ran, but just before letting go, she whispered in Conan's ear:
"You're so thoughtful, Conan. Talk more when you can talk, and Uncle Natsukawa will buy you a present!"

Xia Chuan finished muttering something under his breath and turned around.

Facing Yoel bathed in the morning light, Xia Chuan's face had returned to seriousness: "Look at this child, he's being outrageous, spouting nonsense."

That's the absolute truth!
Joel:
If I didn't have good hearing, I would have really been fooled by you. She heard what you just said.

Although her voice was very soft, she was the Thorn Princess, and her hearing was naturally amazing. Xia Chuan's whispering was no different from speaking right next to her ear.

However, she did not expose Xia Chuan, and a sweet feeling had grown in her heart at some point.

Oh no, am I about to fall for her? Yumi-chan's words sound exactly like how I feel right now.

Am I really going to fall in love?

Yuri, now you won't scold me, right?!

"It's okay. Kids are lively and active, and it's normal for them to speak without thinking. It's nothing serious, and I won't take it to heart."

Xia Chuan:.
Please take this to heart!

Conan stiffly sat back down next to Anya.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Anya ignored him, her head down as she fiddled with the camera.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Conan immediately realized something was wrong.

This guy, could he be... again?
Conan leaned his head closer.

really!

Anya recorded the scene. "Hey! I did everything you said, why are you still recording me?"

"Give it to me quickly!"

Conan's hands move incredibly fast.

In a flash, the camera was in his hand.

delete!

Conan:
When did cameras get this feature?

"You Conan, you really were eyeing the videos and photos on my camera!" Anya snatched the camera away.

"You wouldn't believe it, would you? I set a password for every video. You can't delete them without the password! Hahaha."

Conan's hands fell limply to his sides, and he resignedly put on the blindfold.

Whatever, ╮(╯_╰)╭

Whatever happens.

Shamelessness, integrity, secrets.

Protecting these things is too much trouble, so let's just leave them be and pretend they were thrown off the cliff of Moonshadow Island by the murderer.

Suddenly, Xia Chuan seemed to remember something and reached into his pocket.

"By the way, I don't know if your cold is better. I bought some cold medicine yesterday, but I was delayed because of Uncle Mori's deduction, and I only took it out now. I hope it's not too late."

"A cold?" Joel took the medicine in surprise.

By the way, because she had to carry out an assassination mission, she couldn't sleep with Anya, so she made up an excuse about having a cold.

Unexpectedly, Xia Chuan actually remembered this incident and even prepared cold medicine.

Joel felt a pang of shame, realizing he had failed the other person's sincerity.

Damn me!

"Yes, yes, thank you so much, Natsukawa."

Joel's emotion was palpable.

From childhood to adulthood, it seems that no other man besides Yuri has ever bought her medicine. She is so touched.

"It's alright, I'm relieved as long as you're alright," Xia Chuan replied with a smile.

He captured a detail perfectly!
This time, Joel did not add 'Mr.' after his name.

This is a good sign.

This shows that Joel is no longer as polite as before.

Their relationship seems to have taken a giant leap forward! That's something to celebrate.

Indeed, travel is the best catalyst for enhancing relationships.

Hmm, looks like I should find a chance to use up that voucher for the hot spring hotel at home; maybe it'll be useful.
According to research, hot springs can rapidly enhance the relationship between couples.

I heard that the hot spring hotel has a private hot spring for two people, I'm so excited just thinking about it.

However, the drunken Uncle Mori was oblivious to the situation and interrupted Natsukawa's sweet dream.

"Xia Chuan, is it true that there's a boat to leave tonight?"

Natsukawa initially didn't want to pay attention, but when Kogoro Mouri saw that he wasn't being acknowledged, he stood up, still slightly drunk.

"Xia Chuan, I'm calling you, didn't you hear me?"

Xia Chuan sighed softly.

I really want to throw Uncle Mori into the sea to wake him up.

And Xiaolan, why doesn't she care about her old father? He's drunk like this in the morning, no one else can do that, he's practically a walking alcohol barrel.

Besides being a womanizer, unreliable, a fan of celebrities, a horse racing bettor, and a smoker, Eri Kisaki's departure was probably also due to Kogoro Mouri's drinking.

Thinking about it this way, Uncle Mori really has a lot of bad habits!

It must have been tough for Ms. Eri Kisaki; that kind of uncle is completely unreliable.

"My aunt's son's brother's friend is from the Bokumoto family. I heard they are going back to Tokyo from Bokumoto Island today, and we can hitch a ride."

Oh, and I heard they have good drinks on board. Besides sake, which is a specialty of Utsumoto Island, they also have imported whiskey.

Kogoro Mouri's dazed eyes immediately snapped open.

My thoughts immediately became clear.

"Ahem. I wasn't there for the drinks. It's mainly because the police search will continue for several days, and the sightseeing boats will be suspended during that time. Not being able to return to Tokyo will cause a lot of business losses." Kogoro Mouri said righteously.

"My dedication to my job is something even Inspector Megure admires."

If it weren't for the fact that he was already drooling, Xia Chuan would have actually believed his nonsense.

As for Inspector Megure, he was amazed.

He's amazed that cases seem to happen wherever you go!
