Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

ten years?

The corner of Conan's mouth twitched.

"Ania, you seemed to have said before that your father was 28 years old, right?" Conan stopped and looked at Ania, "28 years old, and he was a peacekeeping policeman for ten years, so he died at the age of 18."

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Anya looked confused and didn't know what the problem was.

"Do you think you can be a peacekeeping police officer at the age of 18? If you want to make up a reason, you should make it more reasonable."

"A little in the river?" Anya's green eyes rolled around.

In the river, in the water, the navy is considered to be in the river, right?

"No... That's right. Actually, my father is a marine, a member of the U.S. Marine Corps, specializing in fighting crime. Lupin the Third and Kaito Kidd were both captured by my father."

Anya spoke nonsense in a serious tone.

Navy? Are you sure it's not the Marines?

Conan: "...Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

It seems that I have to investigate Xiachuan and Anya's identities when I have the chance.

Dr. Agasa should be able to do it, right?

While thinking about these, the two had already arrived at school.

Anya looked depressed.

Just now, it seemed that I failed to protect my father.

......

As for Xia Chuan, he had changed his appearance and was walking on the road.

Now, let alone Anya, even Frank, who had been through thick and thin with him for more than ten years, would not be able to recognize him.

This is the face of a middle-aged man with a small mustache, similar to Uncle Maori. He wears a knitted hat on his head and is dressed in a brown suit, which shows his age.

In front of him, a tall man dressed in black was walking slowly.

This person is Tequila.

Xia Chuan was a little confused about the members of the winery.

They are obviously a secret organization, so why do they wear such conspicuous black clothes? Are they afraid that others won’t be able to see through them?

What’s even more bizarre is that in this scientific world, everyone seems to be accustomed to Tequila’s outfit and no one even takes a second look at it.

Is it really true that wearing all black is inconspicuous?

Today is the day that Tequila and Director Jinchuan of the Beihua Library will do a transaction. Xiachuan followed Tequila specifically just to see where he got the goods from.

At the traffic light, Xiachuan walked naturally to Tequila's side.

Tequila looked back at him, found nothing unusual, and continued to wait for the green light.

Xia Chuan was a little curious. If he came to pick up the goods, he should drive, right? Or did other people in the winery already prepare a car full of drugs, and Tequila was just going to drive now?

From the first glance, Xia Chuan found that Tequila was relatively easy to play.

His expression was rather monotonous, and he seemed to only have a stern face.

What is more difficult to handle here is Tequila's height and voice.

His accent is more like that of Kansai, and Xiachuan needs to pay attention to this.

As for height, Xia Chuan can only use special methods to raise him a little. Tequila's height is about 1.9 meters, and Xia Chuan's height is 1.8 meters, so he needs to be raised by 10 centimeters.

It's not difficult, but the sound of walking on the elevated platform will be a little different, so you need to pay attention to this.

The green light comes on.

Tequila walked quickly, and after walking more than a hundred meters, he looked around and entered a small alley.

Xia Chuan didn't follow him in, but just walked past.

Tequila had already noticed the face just now and he couldn't let it appear in front of him again.

After walking two streets, Xia Chuan finally found a secluded corner and took off the mask.

"Take over the voice."

He said this into the headset.

Frank's bugging device is still working, and is said to be clipped inside the brim of Tequila's hat.

We have to admire Frank's ability here. Tequila is a code member of the distillery after all. Frank's method of installing the eavesdropping device inside the brim of his hat is still admirable.

There was some noise coming from the earphones, which returned to normal after a few rustling sounds.

There were some noises coming from it, but Xia Chuan didn't hear any conversation.

There seemed to be the clanking of keys.

Then came the sounds of the door opening, closing, and starting the car.

It seemed that someone else in the distillery had indeed prepared a car, and Tequila drove away directly after arriving.

"What is the location of the location?"

"It's a logistics company. The filing information shows that it was newly registered this year. It should be the winery's business."

Frank was a little excited. Not long after coming to Neon, he had discovered the bases of the winery one after another. This undoubtedly proved that Xia Chuan’s previous decision was not wrong. The winery did have many traces in Neon.

Xia Chuan smiled slightly and said, "Give me the position of Yutian and Nan."

We have discovered another stronghold, and the next step is to observe the words and actions of those who trade tequila.

By the way, he can also learn about his trading partner, Director Jinchuan. After all, he will have to use someone else's power to take the blame later. If he can know more about Tequila's business information, the risk of exposure will be greatly reduced.

"…something went wrong."

Frank's voice paused, a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Xia Chuan looked up at the sky and had to squint because of the sunlight.

A blue logistics truck passed by him, and sitting on it was Tequila.

"Tamadaya Kazuo, he, he is missing."

"When did it happen?" Xia Chuan was silent for a long time before asking this question.

He just thought things were going the way he wanted, but then something went wrong.

"It should be last night. The people I sent to follow him found that he did not leave the Rice Flower Library. This morning, just a while ago, his wife seemed a little worried and called the police. However, because it has not been more than 24 hours, the case has not been accepted."

Xia Chuan sighed, "I understand."

He stopped and hailed a taxi.

I told the driver the address of the Rice Flower Library.

(Thanks to xiaotang246 for the reward, and thanks to 墨迹不是字 for the monthly ticket)

Chapter 23 Trading

Since we were both in Beika Town, the taxi quickly arrived at the Beika Library.

The Beika Library has five floors and is the largest external library in Beika Town. However, because it is a weekday, there are not many people in the library, only a few scattered people.

As soon as Xia Chuan entered the door, he saw a familiar face. The information of this person was in the file that Frank gave him yesterday.

This person is none other than Hideji Tsukawa, the director of the Beika Library. After all, his giant monkey-like face is really easy to recognize.

He was holding a cardboard box in his hand, which seemed to contain books or something, but it was unopened. The other party was about to take the elevator to go upstairs. Xia Chuan walked up quickly and stopped the elevator door with his hand when it was about to close.

"Sorry!" Xia Chuan laughed and entered the elevator.

Director Jinchuan also nodded and said, "Sir, which floor do you want to go to?"

Xiachuan looked at the elevator floor and saw that the lights on the fourth floor were already on. This should be the floor that Jinchuan was going to.

"That's right. I also want to go to the fourth floor."

In the elevator, Xiachuan stood behind Director Jinchuan and his eyes glanced at the books in the other's box several times.

These are some packaged children's encyclopedias, which must have just arrived.

It should be in there, drugs.

He still had some impression of the drug hiding case in the library, so when he heard Frank say that Tamada Kazuo was missing, Xiachuan immediately knew the reason.

I'm afraid that by now, Tamada Kazuo is already lying dead on the top of the elevator.

However, Xia Chuan didn't care about these and the plan went on as usual, except that he needed to come and check out the place in advance.

Ding.

The elevator stopped on the fourth floor. Director Jinchuan nodded and walked into the office next door.

Xia Chuan walked into the library.

As time passed, it was six o'clock in the evening, and there was only one hour left before the transaction between Tequila and Director Jinchuan.

During these few hours, Xia Chuan explored the entire library.

The library is closing time.

Xia Chuan walked into the bathroom in an orderly manner, put on the mask that he had prepared in advance for Tamada Kazuo, took off his coat, and changed into the clothes that Tamada Kazuo usually wore.

After looking at the mirror for a long time to make sure that no details were missed, 'Yutian Kazuo' slowly walked out of the bathroom.

It took more than ten minutes to make these preparations, and the lights in the library had dimmed.

Looking down through the window, you can see an employee just closing the library door and leaving.

Xia Chuan pressed the elevator button to the fourth floor, entered, and carefully opened the top of the elevator.

The top of the elevator was obviously loose, probably because Director Jinchuan didn't close it properly.

The moment it opened, a foul smell came down from the top of the elevator.

Yutian Kazuo should have died last night. It is the middle of summer now, and in such a confined and hot space like the top of the elevator, it is normal for the body to stink.

Xia Chuan covered his nose and climbed onto the elevator, put the open top back in place, and stood in the space above the elevator.

The body of Kazuo Yutian was curled up on the ground. His body was completely stiff and the exposed skin was covered with corpse spots.

His mouth was open, his eyes were wide open, and there was a noticeable scar on his neck.

After checking the body and confirming that Tamada Kazuo was dead, Xiachuan was about to go down to the elevator, but unexpectedly the elevator door suddenly opened.

Is it time to trade?

Is it Tequila or Director Jinchuan who enters the elevator?

Soon, his doubts were answered as Director Jinchuan's voice reached the top of the elevator.

"Don't worry, they are all off work. Please drive the car directly to the back door later."

He should be on the phone, and the person he was talking to should be Tequila.

The elevator finally stopped on the first floor.

Only after confirming that the other party had left did Xia Chuan come down from the top of the elevator.

At this time, all the lights in the lobby on the first floor of the library had dimmed. The only light on should be at the back door, and Director Jinchuan had just walked towards that direction.

Xia Chuan followed quietly and found a hidden corner to observe the back door.

He was now facing the face of Kazuo Tamada, and his gaze as he stood in the corner and looked at Jinchuan seemed a little scary under the blessing of the darkness.

If Director Jinchuan turned around and saw him at this time, he would definitely faint from fright.

Not long after, the sound of a truck was heard outside, and a small transport truck drove the truck in reverse through the back door. The appearance was exactly the same as the car Xia Chuan saw during the day.

boom!

The car door opened and closed, and Tequila's cold face appeared from the darkness.

"This is the stuff you want. It has been loaded inside the books in advance." Tequila looked around, made sure it was safe, took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Thank you very much, Master Tequila, this is the agreed amount."

Director Jinchuan was a little humble in front of Tequila. He lowered his head and took out a suitcase. His palms turned pale when he was carrying it. There must be a lot of money in it.
