Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

It's really sad that a top spy can't do anything to a child.

"Eat peanuts!"

Xia Chuan used his ultimate move—he took out some peanuts from his pocket.

"Okay! Father, I will be obedient and walk by myself!"

At this time, the speech was ready, the audience was full, and on the stage... uh... Kogoro Mouri staggered to the podium.

Is this... really okay?

Naval Archives, this should be it!

Xiachuan has already slipped out. He doesn't know how long Uncle Maori's speech will last, and he has no interest in listening.

The door of the archive was a sliding type and had no lock, so Xia Chuan pushed it open easily.

There are many naval items displayed inside, with nautical charts and some things that look like comics hanging on the wall. On the left side of the door is a mighty suit of armor, and the display cabinets on the table are filled with ornaments.

But these are not what Xia Chuan needs to pay attention to.

He walked over to a map.

This map should be the topographic map of Shikishima. There is a crossed-out location on it, and there is a text label next to it: Naval Cave!

This should be it, right?

This cave must be hiding some secrets. Maybe the 10 billion yen gold nugget is hidden here.

As for the Dragon God.

Judging from the topographic map of Shikima Island, the location of this naval cave should be a cliff, so it is normal to have a cave under the cliff.

After all, this is the world of science, and the way of reasoning requires wild imagination.

However, this is also because Xiachuan found friction marks on the railing of the Dragon God before.

I'm afraid that the Dragon God had been anchored in the naval cave before. The reason why it appeared outside this time might be related to the typhoon that just passed through recently.

Because the typhoon was so strong, the wind and waves forced the ships out of the naval cave.

After thinking about this, Xia Chuan didn't plan to go directly to the Navy Cave. He also wanted to go to the watchtower to take a look.

He felt a little uneasy after being spied on in the morning, so he needed to confirm it no matter what.

"It's hard to turn traveling into solving a crime..."

Chapter 12: Burning Butt

boom!

As Xia Chuan walked out of the information room, a rumbling sound came from the village office.

The direction should be the conference hall!

Grass!

Xia Chuan looked unhappy, and Anya was still inside.

Even though my daughter was adopted, she has called him father for so long that we must have developed a certain affection for her.

"Are you guys okay?"

At the entrance of the conference hall, Xia Chuan breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Anya who was safe and sound in front of him.

"Bond saved me."

At this time, Anya's feet were hanging in the air, Bond was biting the back of her collar, and she was staggering like a doll.

"I'm glad you're okay. Where are Conan and the others?"

"It seems like she's still inside. Bond took me out and Anya didn't even have time to say hello to Sister Xiaolan."

"It must be the ghost of the navy starting to cause trouble!"

"I told you that you can't trust the village chief. He's only doing it for himself!"

"It's none of my business, ghost, don't come to me!"

The villagers swarmed out of the conference hall as if fleeing, and soon most of them had left.

Xia Chuan walked in at this time.

The conference hall was filled with the smell of fire extinguisher dust, and the air was filled with white mist.

There was also a burning smell. The starting ball that had fallen on the top of the stage had fallen to the ground, burned into black ash, and emitted an unpleasant smell.

Uncle Maori was sticking his butt out, with dust from a fire extinguisher on it. Judging from his depressed look, he must have sobered up.

It seems that it is possible to let Xiaolan carry a fire extinguisher with her, so that she can spray Uncle Maori with it when he gets drunk.

"Are you okay, Uncle Maori?"

Natsukawa jumped onto the stage and half-knelt in front of Kogoro Mori.

"It's okay. How can it be okay if your butt is on fire?"

Yes, this word is used very well.

Xia Chuan smiled and walked to Heihui.

“It smells very strong of gasoline.”

what is this?

Xiachuan casually took the thing that Conan took out from the black ash and took a look at it.

"It's a battery! The murderer connected the battery switch to the pull rope of the starter ball. As long as the pull rope is pulled, the battery will discharge and detonate the starter ball."

"Hmm? I didn't expect you to be so smart, Conan. You really don't look like a first-grade student at all. Look at Anya, she's so different from you."

Xiachuan pointed at Aniya who was standing next to him with a frightened face.

Look, this is what an elementary school student should look like.

Conan obviously knew that he was acting a little precocious, and he quickly touched his head and said, "Hey, I learned this from Uncle Maori."

"I thought I learned this from TV or in Hawaii."

It doesn’t matter whether the speaker means it unintentionally or not, but the listener does take it seriously.

It seems that if I encounter this situation in the future, I can use this reason.

I learned it from TV, or maybe from Hawaii.

Anyway, he did learn a lot of things with his father in Hawaii when he was a child, such as flying planes and tanks.

In the evening, at Shikishima B&B.

The events of the day caused waves to surge on this peaceful island, and the waves were accompanied by the wails of Kogoro Mori. The burnt butt was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either.

At this time, he was bent into an earthworm, with his head on the ground, looking at Takeo Mikami with an angry face.

I couldn't sit down or stand up, and every time I moved I felt a burning pain in my butt.

"Are you okay, Uncle Maori?" Xia Chuan was also in the room. He covered his mouth with his hands, trying hard not to laugh.

He had checked the other person's wound, which was at the coccyx. It was just a small area burned by gasoline splashing. It was not a big problem. He would be fine after a few days of rest and would be able to heal by applying some ointment later.

"Take off the ice after applying it for a while. There should be some intervals in between. Don't apply ice all the time. The coccyx is close to the nerves, be careful not to damage them."

Xiaolan nodded and took the ice down.

Kogoro Mouri took a deep breath and twisted his buttocks. His skin seemed to pull the wound, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch involuntarily.

"Village chief, stop kneeling. Kneeling won't solve the problem. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise the exploding launch ball would have killed me."

"I am very sorry. I never expected that Mr. Maori would be involved in such an accident. I apologize for that."

"I'm afraid this is not an accident, Village Chief Mikami."

Natsukawa walked up to Takeo Mikami and placed the battery in front of him.

"The battery and gasoline, the murderer might want to kill Uncle Maori."

"That was our carelessness..."

Mikami Takeo wanted to explain, but Natsukawa naturally refused and interrupted him directly, "Uncle Maori is a famous detective in Japan. He must be able to tell whether it was an accident or a deliberate murder. Don't you think so, Uncle Maori?"

"Of course! Ouch!"

"Dad, please don't move."

Mikami Takeo was silent for a while, then slowly got up from the ground. "I will pay you, and you must solve this case! Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that you can leave here safely. After all, the sightseeing boats and transport ships here need my approval before they can leave, so you better think carefully."

Xia Chuan was almost laughing out of anger. Who gave this guy the courage to talk to him like that?

It seems that my previous judgment of him was wrong. This guy didn't invite Kogoro Mori over for Shikishima's sake. His main goal should be the gold nugget.

What he said before about handing it over after finding it was probably just talk. He might turn against you once he gets the gold.

"So, if we don't find the gold nugget, are you planning on imprisoning us all on this island?"

Xia Chuan's expression gradually turned cold, and even Anya took two steps back.

Father, I'm angry!

"My daughter was almost hit by the gasoline just now, and you can't even come up with a reasonable explanation, and you still threaten us."

Mikami Takeo was frightened by the aura that Xiachuan unconsciously exuded. He sat on the ground and moved backwards, finally moving outside the door and leaning against the wall.

"You...you don't come over here! This is...this is Shikishima, my...my territory."

Natsukawa ignored him and looked at Goro Kinoshita who was standing at the door.

Just as he was about to take action, he noticed Goro Kinoshita standing not far from the door. It seemed that this guy had been standing there for a long time.

What is this guy doing here? It's a bit suspicious. He must be eavesdropping.

"I'm sorry, the village chief only said that because he cares about the island and wants to transform it into a tourist destination. Please forgive me." Kinoshita Goro walked closer and said, "If you want to leave, I can help you arrange a boat tomorrow."

"Kinoshita!"

Mikami Takeo wanted to say something, but Natsukawa glared at him and he immediately stopped moving.

At this time, Maori Kogoro's voice came from the room, "I'm not leaving. I've been in this state. I must bring the murderer to justice."

"Ouch, Xiaolan, be gentle."

Xia Chuan coughed twice, "Mr. Maori and I agree that this murderer cannot be let off. But... the medical expenses..."

Xia Chuan wasn't short of money, but the village chief was too annoying, so he asked for more money to disgust him.

When the gold nugget is found, he will have some ideas, and he will definitely make the village chief mad by then.

And that murderer almost hurt his family. He is unforgivable!

"Don't worry, I'll take out another five million, but only after I find the gold nugget."

After leaving these words, the frightened Takeo Mikami was carried away by Goro Kinoshita.

There must be something wrong with this Goro Kinoshita.

"Sister Xiaolan, I want to go to the watchtower to take a look." Conan's cute voice was heard from the room.

"It's so late, let's just forget it."

On the one hand, Mao Lilan wanted to take care of her father, but on the other hand, she was a little scared of the legend of the "navy ghost" she heard in the afternoon.

"But Anya wants to go too!" Conan pointed at Anya.

Anya's mouth dropped open.

Me, do you want to go?

Anya said this?

Before Anya could speak, Conan came up to her and whispered, "I'll treat you to peanuts when we get back."

"Aniya still wants to play games."

"Then I'll give you some of the game coins I got from the treasure map!"

In an instant, the two reached a deal.

"In that case, Anya wants to go too!"

"Then I'll take them there. Xiaolan, you stay here to take care of Uncle Maori, and Bond, please help me look after him."
