Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

"He was killed by his wife. They seemed to be a loving couple when I saw them before. I didn't expect that Manager Tasaki's wife killed him because Manager Tasaki didn't allow her to keep a dog."

Xia Chuan: “…”

It's quite outrageous, but it seems to be barely acceptable to Mihua. After all, there are more outrageous reasons for killing. For a dog...it can barely be considered a legitimate reason for killing.

Even Gotham is just called Little Rice Flower, and you can imagine the reasons behind it...

"It's such a pity. Manager Tian... Manager Tian Qi is also pitiful. He is a very responsible manager."

That being said, Natsukawa actually only found out now that the manager's last name was Tasaki.

"You don't have to accompany me. I'll take a look by myself. I'm just here to buy groceries today."

"Oh, I see. Then Mr. Xiachuan, please go around by yourself. If you have any questions, feel free to ask someone to call me. I'll be in the manager's office." The new manager left in a hurry.

He had just taken over the position and was in a temporary position, so many things had not been handed over properly and needed to be handled by him as the new manager.

Xia Chuan watched the manager leave. He didn't want anyone to follow him today.

The things I bought here today have special uses and are not just ingredients for cooking.

He needed to buy some materials for disguise. Although these things were relatively common, they might not be available in ordinary vegetable markets. Going to a department store was the best choice.

The vegetable market of the department store is on the first floor. Since Xia Chuan arrived late, there were not many people at this time.

The people I occasionally see are all women, and men are relatively rare here.

The characteristic of Neon is that men work outside and women stay at home, so most of the people there are housewives.

These housewives were also very surprised to see Xia Chuan. A young man was not working at this time and was actually shopping in the vegetable market. It seemed that he was an unemployed vagrant.

However, some sharp-eyed people noticed that the clothes Xia Chuan was wearing were not cheap, which was another kind of mentality.

Facing these gazes, Xia Chuan was busy selecting materials for disguise.

Disguise is a must for being a spy. Only with good disguise can one stay undercover for a long time, and this is exactly what the spy 'Dusk' is good at.

The only one in the world whose disguise skills can compare to his is the deceased first-generation Phantom Thief, Kuroba Toichi.

Natsukawa is not bragging, his disguise is better than even Vermouth and Kudo Yukiko, at least in terms of details.

Apart from that, his acting skills are also unique, and even the wife, children and parents of the person he disguised himself as are difficult to recognize.

The combination of the two is the perfect disguise.

At the cashier counter, Xia Chuan handed the ingredients on the cart to the cashier for detailed counting.

In addition to a bunch of disguise materials such as sweet potato starch, lotus root starch, wheat, etc., there are also some real ingredients.

The refrigerator at home is empty. I have to say that Anya is quite a big eater. Fortunately, he has quite a lot of assets.

After Xia Chuan finished paying and was about to leave, he was stopped by the cashier.

"Sir, our manager asked me to give this to you."

As he spoke, the salesperson put a coupon in Xia Chuan's hand.

Xia Chuan: “???”

Another travel voucher?

Last time I used the travel voucher I was given to go to Shikishima, but I didn't see any beauties sunbathing on the beach. Instead, I couldn't sleep well at night.

But it's not all bad.

For example, the relationship with the Mori family has improved a lot, he made a lot of money from selling gold bars, and he learned that the winery has a drug manufacturing base in Chiba Prefecture.

Come to think of it, it seems not bad.

"Thank you!"

The salesperson bent down and bowed 90 degrees. "We should thank Mr. Xia Chuan for trusting our Mihua Department Store. This coupon should have been given to you last time. It was our company's negligence. We are really sorry."

It turns out that the Mihua Building has a rule that if you spend more than one million, you will be given a travel voucher, and the place you are given the voucher to is different each time for the same person.

Xia Chuan took a closer look and found that it was a gift ticket to a hot spring hotel, also a family package.

I looked at the time on the travel voucher and just had to complete the consumption within the month.

Within the month... Xiachuan said he was not sure how long within the month was.

But he didn't ask. It didn't matter. After all, he was wealthy and didn't care about such a small gift from a department store.

After leaving the Mika Department Store, Xia Chuan came to Frank's big villa.

As the Mantiantang press conference was approaching, his plan could almost be carried out.

"Where is he now?"

As soon as he entered the living room, Xia Chuan saw Frank sitting in front of the computer seriously, with headphones on his head and his eyes fixed on the computer screen.

The 'he' that Xia Chuan mentioned was naturally the Tequila from the distillery.

Frank was very skilled and installed eavesdropping and positioning devices on the other party without anyone noticing.

"We've just left Tokyo. The positioning and eavesdropping equipment can't track us too far for now. We can only stay within Tokyo." Frank pressed a few keys and put down his headphones.

The monitoring device will now enter standby mode and will alert you when the target appears within the monitoring range of the device again.

The two came to the table.

Xia Chuan placed all the necessary materials on the table and began to prepare the disguise mask.

"What's the situation? When is the best time to take action?" Xia Chuan asked as he added water to the sweet potato flour.

Sweet potato starch and lotus root starch are the most suitable for making disguised facial skin. They have good elasticity and can imitate human skin color by adding some pigments. If you have darker skin like Osaka black skin and Amuro Toru, you can add an appropriate amount of black pigment.

Of course, you can also add dark soy sauce, which has no taste and is very convenient for coloring, but you just have to control the amount.

Frank looked at Xia Chuan's actions and slowly took out a notebook.

"This guy is called Tequila. He is a code member of the winery and specializes in illegal transactions. Recently, drug trading has been his main business."

Xia Chuan said 'hmm', looked up at Frank and motioned him to continue.

"You seem to have known this code name for a long time. You are not surprised at all."

"Surprised, but I'm a spy. Isn't it normal not to show my emotions on my face?" Xia Chuan looked at Frank with a smile. This guy has been suspecting that he has other intelligence partners recently.

How is this possible? The only reason he knew all this was because of his excellent scientific knowledge before he traveled through time.

He had a deep memory of Tequila, the great wronged guy. Just a few minutes after he appeared on the stage, he was sent into the sky by a bomb. The key point was that he was killed by mistake. Who could he complain to?

The distillery must be confused. This is a disaster from the sky. It can only be said that Tequila is unlucky.

But this is Tequila's own problem. Why did they have to do the transaction at someone else's press conference? Wouldn't this problem not arise if they just did the transaction over a cup of coffee together?

"really?"

Frank stared at Xia Chuan for several seconds, trying to see something, but facing the expressionless spy Huang Huang, he had to give up.

"Of course, intelligence can kill me if I'm not careful. I won't change people easily. As an intelligence dealer, you should be very clear about this."

Xia Chuan smiled and said, "Besides, what is our relationship? If there is money, it will definitely be our own people who make it first. Only when there is a problem will we cheat outsiders."

It's not easy to find an intelligence partner. If he and Frank hadn't grown up together and could trust each other completely, he would definitely be a lone ranger like other spies in the dark world.

In the dark world, no matter whether you are a killer, spy, agent, thief or any other profession, the most important thing before doing anything is to collect intelligence, so the importance of intelligence dealers can be imagined.

As long as the other party has ulterior motives, it is easy to trap the intelligence and make the person die unclearly. Therefore, the selection of intelligence dealers is of utmost importance.

Frank obviously understood this.

"Okay, you're fine." Frank shrugged, skipped the topic, and continued:

"Tequila just left downtown Tokyo, apparently going to a place called Tsukikage Island to do a deal. This island is within the Tokyo area, with a permanent population of about 500 to 600. It's a small island village, similar to the Shikijima you visited before, except that it has a larger population."

Moon Shadow Island is actually related to the winery?

Xia Chuan paused for a moment.

He thought that the drug transaction on Yueying Island was just a simple small-scale transaction, but he didn't expect that the winery was involved.

Frank continued: "Besides that, Tequila will also trade with Director Jinchuan of the Mihua Library at 7 o'clock tomorrow night. Do you want to..."

Frank (￢_￢) glanced at Xia Chuan and said, "Do you want to go and see what the transaction was about?"

Then he took out another file.

"This is the file of Kazuo Tamada, an employee of the Beihua Library. If you want to go, you can borrow this person's face."

Xia Chuan nodded and took the file.

Since it was a drug transaction, he would definitely have to observe Tequila's behavior.

This is very important.

He had already made plans to replace Tequila on the day of the Mandarin game launch.

Tequila has no public identity, at least Frank can't find it, so he can only track and eavesdrop on the other party to see how he behaves, so that he won't run into any problems when disguising himself as Tequila.

There are photos of Tamada Kazuo, as well as some of his interpersonal relationships and personality traits.

These all require Xia Chuan to study carefully.

Fortunately, memory is one of Xia Chuan's strengths, so this task is not difficult for him.

"It seems like there are too many masks to make today!" Xia Chuan sighed slightly, feeling a little helpless.

It is not easy to make a disguise mask. If you want it to be lifelike, you must accurately control every detail, even the freckles and tiny moles.

Frank asked, "It's just Tamada Kazuo, isn't it?"

"Of course not only that." Xia Chuan shook his head, "We also need to disguise ourselves when we are following him. After all, he is an official member of the winery and needs to be respected."

We need to make two more disguise masks for passers-by, just in case.

Chapter 22 Tracking

Aniya has recently adapted to the pace of life in Japan. She has joined the Junior Detective Team at school and is very busy after school. Day by day, she has more business than her father, a spy.

Therefore, there is no need for Xiachuan to pick up the get out of class recently, as she has already adapted to going to and from school with Conan.

"Father, I'm going to class!"

After finishing her meal, Aniya jumped off her chair, put on her small schoolbag, and went downstairs to meet Conan.

Downstairs, Conan supported his backpack straps with both hands, looking thoughtful.

"Let's go, Conan!"

"Oh."

Conan was a little absent-minded, but Anya didn't know what he was thinking, as her mind-reading ability didn't work all the time.

Maybe my ability needs a break once in a while.

"What's wrong, Conan? What are you thinking about?" Aniya, who was walking side by side with Conan, turned and looked at him.

"It's okay. I just had a bad sleep last night."

Conan didn't explain much.

You can't say that you are thinking about the Black Organization. You definitely can't tell this kind of thing to a child.

It has been several months since he became smaller. During this time, he met several people who were suspected to be members of the Black Organization, but they were eventually confirmed not to be.

This made him a little discouraged.

Is it impossible to find them?

By the way, Anya and Xiachuan are very suspicious.

"Aniya, where is your father a policeman?"

Anya was stunned for a moment, and her mind began to work rapidly (◎_◎;)

You can't tell Conan that his father is a spy or a policeman? Why does Conan think his father is a policeman?

After thinking for a long time, Aniya remembered that her father seemed to have admitted it at the Mihua Department Store. If so...

"Father, father is a UN peacekeeping police officer. He has been in the service for ten years and recently retired because of Anya."

At this point, Anya pretended to be very sad.

However, because his acting was too exaggerated, Conan saw through it at a glance.
