Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

"I personally went through their medical waste..."

Xia Chuan: “…”

"Frank, your efforts will definitely pay off. All the proceeds from Shikishima's intelligence on the dark web will be yours."

Digging through garbage is fine, but digging through medical waste is somewhat dangerous.

"I searched the area wearing a chemical protective suit, and found multiple traces of drug-making raw materials in their medical waste. I also found the company's architectural drawings, and they clearly didn't have an underground garage or warehouse, but they dug three floors underground. There must be something wrong."

"That's great. Let's hand this information over to the IRS today and let them have a taste of what's new."

Frank was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly, "I think the value of that cocktail bar is actually lower. If we give the IRS too much sweetness at the beginning, they won't be able to enjoy the small dishes later."

Xia Chuan shook his head.

There is nothing we can do about this.

He still has a use for the cocktail bar, and tequila is related to his next plan, so the cocktail bar that the other party had recently visited naturally cannot be touched.

But the IRS has to give us some benefits. Although the mission has just begun, it doesn’t matter if we don’t give the IRS any information.

But that's not how the world works. If you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.

They will definitely contact the FBI later, but they should leave a good impression on the IRS first, so that they can provide information about Akai Shuichi. In addition, it is more convenient for the IRS to provide weapons than for them to get them by themselves, and who knows, he might also drive an armed helicopter and parkour with Gin one day.

Of course, we can’t rely entirely on the IRS. Scientific equipment can still be purchased through the dark web, such as flip phones.

"Okay, you're the executor, I'll listen to you."

Frank nodded, as if he had thought of something, and rubbed his chin with his fingers for a while, with an uncertain expression.

Xia Chuan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

What does this expression mean?

It feels like I want to say something, but I can't.

“That…that…”

"explain."

Xia Chuan hated this kind of hesitation the most, and... he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Isn't the deal with the IRS next Monday?"

Xia Chuan: “!!??”

"Xia Chuan, tell me honestly, are you sick? Are you having problems with your time memory or something like that? You were like this last time, too."

Xia Chuan's fingers trembled slightly. He had checked the electronic clock this morning! Today was indeed Monday!

How to trade has changed again.

"What about the press conference for Man Tian Tang? Is it this week or next week?"

“This week!”

Xia Chuan completely collapsed on the sofa.

Last week we said that the transaction with the IRS would take place this Monday, and the press conference for Man Tian Tang would also be this Friday.

But why is the transaction changed to next Monday, but the Mantiantang press conference is still this Friday?

The brain is not enough.

Seeing smoke coming out of Xia Chuan's head, which was obviously caused by a CPU short circuit, Frank stabbed him again.

"Time Disorder Syndrome?"

Xia Chuan raised his hand weakly, "Just think of it as me having this problem. If you have anything in the future, remember to notify me that morning. I'm afraid I won't remember."

I've given up completely, there's no hope.

The time spent studying science can no longer be said to be chaotic. It is just a ball of tangled wool. When you want to sort out your thoughts, you find that the ball of wool has hundreds of threads.

It's a tangled mess that can't be sorted out... It's a different feeling in my heart!

Let Frank be his reminder.

As for Anya, she can’t even understand the alarm clock now, so forget about using it as a reminder.

Chapter 18 I will complain to you

Frank House.

Xia Chuan and Frank chatted for a long time.

The main reason is that Xiachuan needs to know some information about the dark world.

Especially characters like the dark world killers active in Neon.

"By the way, do you know Kaito Kidd?"

"What's wrong?" Xia Chuan did not answer, but asked, "A jewel thief should have nothing to do with us, right?"

I don’t know if the second generation of Kaito Kidd has appeared in this world.

But Frank asked this, probably because he had some news about the other party.

"It seems that he has reappeared recently. He disappeared from the international scene eight years ago and only recently began to reappear on the dark web."

"Did I buy information from you?"

There is a reason why Xia Chuan asked this.

As a leading player in the dark web intelligence field, Frank not only cooperates with Xia Chuan, but Xia Chuan has the best relationship with him.

"Ah."

Frank nodded and continued, "He is also asking about the Black Organization on the dark web, but the winery we contacted seems to be a little different. But it is also a mysterious organization with no trace in the dark world."

"If it's not information about the jewels, you shouldn't have told him. Now you've already gotten into trouble with a winery. It wouldn't be good if you get into trouble with a mysterious black organization again."

The second generation of Kaito Kid, Kuroba Kaito, has been dedicated to finding the truth about his father's death.

His father seemed to have died at the hands of the mysterious organization Zoo in the dark world. He stole all the gems to see if they contained Pandora elements, so as to uncover this mysterious organization.

The organization has the same demands as the winery.

Immortality!

A common problem among rich and powerful people is the desire to live forever.

Even the Qin Emperor who founded the unified China thousands of years ago pursued immortality.

Compared with the aptx4869 developed by the winery, the long-lived biomass Pandora pursued by the zoo seems to have no proven effect.

At least there has never been anyone who has become smaller like Conan.

Uh......

No, maybe.

But he hadn't appeared before Xia Chuan traveled through time.

Or maybe APTX4869 contains the long-lived matter that the zoo extracted from special gems.

This can also explain why Haibara Ai has not been able to develop a real antidote since her release. This is most likely related to the longevity substances contained in it.

Moreover, the biomass Pandora was most likely placed there without Haibara Ai's knowledge. As long as the boss of the winery is willing, Haibara Ai will most likely not discover this small action.

After escaping from the winery, all of Haibara Ai's research was based on materials she purchased herself. It is very likely that the research failed due to the lack of this substance.

A ringtone rang in the villa. It was Xia Chuan's flip phone.

Aniya's phone call.

Look at the time, the get out of class should have been over for a while by now.

Something must have happened, otherwise Ania wouldn't have called him. Recently, Ania started going to school with Conan, which made Xiachuan feel much more relaxed.

"Father~"

There was a crying voice on the other end of the phone, and it was quite loud. He couldn't help but move the receiver a little further away.

The great thing about flip phones is that they are like old people's phones, with super loud sound and you can't adjust the volume.

Normally Xia Chuan could still accept it, but Anya's voice was really too loud.

"What happened, is Conan with you?"

If Conan was around, he would choose to listen to Conan's explanation, as Anya's thoughts were indeed not very clear.

The crying voice on the other end of the phone stopped, probably someone else answered the call, and the voice came back after four or five seconds.

"Hello, is this Mr. Natsukawa? I'm Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department. Are you free to pick up the kids?"

It should be Inspector Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department. When Natsukawa heard the other party's voice, he roughly knew that a case had occurred and he was no longer panicked.

Inspector Megure's tone was okay, it didn't sound like Ania was injured or anything like that.

After a two-second pause, Xia Chuan asked, "What happened? Is Aniya okay?"

Confirmation and feeling are two different things. As a guardian, you should ask questions.

"It's okay, you should come over quickly."

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chuan spoke a few more words to Frank.

Basically, just give information about gems and don't get involved in anything else.

Frank obviously knew something and nodded tactfully.

Now the matter of the winery requires him to concentrate on gathering intelligence, and during this period his intelligence focus will gradually shift from Europe and the United States to Japan. It is better to ignore this new organization that has appeared in his field of vision for the time being.

Tanaka's house in Beika Town.

"This is it." Xia Chuan closed the car door and walked towards the door.

There were police officers guarding the door and many neighbors watching, so it looked like a murder case without a doubt.

"Hello, Officer Megure asked me to come over." Natsukawa said to the police officer outside the isolation zone.

The police officer must have known this in advance, and he nodded, opened the isolation tape and let Xia Chuan go in.

Before he even walked in, Xia Chuan could already hear faint sobbing. Considering the state of Aniya when she called him, it should be her voice.

The little girl's sobbing sounded extremely pitiful and helpless, which made her father feel distressed. The originally calm expression on his face became a little disturbed, and his footsteps became heavier.

"Ania, what's wrong?"

As he walked into the entrance hall, Xia Chuan saw several people standing in the corridor.

Inspector Megure, the Junior Detectives, and a middle-aged man in a brown suit.

The humble yet powerful voice caught everyone's attention. Anya's tearful green eyes immediately disappeared. She ran to Xia Chuan's feet and hugged his thickest thigh tightly.

"It's okay." Natsukawa touched the soft pink hair and hugged her completely in his arms, then looked at Inspector Megure, waiting for him to explain the reason.

"Are you the parent of this child?"

Before Inspector Megure could speak, the middle-aged man started asking questions impatiently.

"Yes."

Xia Chuan glanced at the other person calmly. Was this the guy who made Anya cry? With this attitude, the probability of him being the murderer was greater than 99%.

"Humph, you'd better take this crybaby away from my house quickly. My brother will scold me again if he makes so much noise."

Natsukawa ignored him and instead looked at Inspector Megure. His meaning was obvious: he needed to give an explanation.

"Ahem, it's like this..."

Then Inspector Megure miraculously explained the reason to Natsukawa, without any so-called principle of confidentiality of the case. However, it may also be because Ania is the person involved, and as a father, Natsukawa has the right to know the reason.

Next, Inspector Megure began to explain.

It turned out that when the Junior Detective Team was looking for a cat, they discovered that a person had been killed in the bathroom of the Tanaka house. They called the police, but when the police arrived, they couldn't find the body.

There are two people living in this household, a pair of twins.

The eldest brother, Tanaka Kazuyuki, who received them at the beginning, had a bad temper and went upstairs to sleep halfway through the reception. The person in front of them now is his younger brother, Tanaka Tomofumi, who had just returned home from work.

"Where did the body come from in my house? This kid keeps saying there is one. Now that the search is over, please leave quickly. My brother is still sleeping upstairs." Tomofumi Tanaka was a little impatient and urged the police and several children to leave.

"Mr. Officer, I now have doubts about your ability to do things. You are willing to listen to a child's one-sided words and turn my house upside down. Wait, I will file a complaint against you."
