Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

If that was the case, why kill him?

There were a lot of questions, so Xia Chuan thought about it and decided to give up for the time being.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the pool, then followed a few people to continue checking the villa.

Time will give him the answer to his question, perhaps tonight.

Usually cases in the Conan world are like this, either a body is found directly on the scene, or someone dies that night, so it is not difficult to infer that the time of death is at night.

He could even be sure that the case would occur on President Nagato's birthday.

Nagato Guangming found that Xiachuan didn't seem to intend to talk more about this topic, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that he might be too sensitive, or perhaps it was just a casual question from Xiachuan.

Conan and Hattori were checking the situation very seriously, but Kogoro Mori thought it was just a petty theft. Maybe they didn't dare to come anymore because of the increased security force. He was only thinking about the 10 million yen.

"Speaking of which, rich people are really generous!" After saying this, Kogoro Mori found that this sentence seemed a bit ambiguous. After all, Natsukawa had just given him 100 million yen in the afternoon.

Thinking of this, he quickly explained: "What I mean is that President Nagato should be truly in love with his first love. After all, at this age, he still wants to meet his first love."

As if he felt that this was a bit far-fetched, Maori Kogoro changed the subject again and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Natsukawa, do you have any ideas? That woman has disappeared for twenty years. I think even their neighbors probably don't remember her."

Xia Chuan shrugged, "Uncle Maori, just do your best. A trip to Kanagawa will only take two days at most. Even if you can't find it, you can get the balance. What's there to worry about? Excluding robbery, what else can make money faster than this?"

"That's right, hahaha."

"Hey, do you think Uncle Mori can do it?" Hattori asked Conan in a low voice.

Kogoro Mori seems to be very unreliable. He always feels that even if he goes to Kanagawa tomorrow, he will return empty-handed.

"I don't know, but I will go with them." Conan had a blank expression on his face. Rather than looking for someone, he wanted to find out the reason why there were noises in the villa late at night. He would deal with tomorrow's affairs tomorrow.

"So confident." Hattori curled his lips and stopped talking about this topic.

Led by Nagato Guangming, the group checked the area around the villa.

Apart from some traces of bumps under the balcony of Nagato Nobuko and Nagato Hideomi's rooms, nothing else was found.

But even this small clue attracted the attention of two famous detectives from Kansai and Kanto.

"So suspicious, there are too many traces like this, and they look very new." Conan muttered to himself, could it be...

"You noticed it too, right?"

"It should be right!"

Xia Chuan looked at the conversation between the two, one big and one small, and didn't know what to say.

A pair of riddlers.

This is what happens when these two people work together. They often smile at each other in sudden enlightenment, like comrades-in-arms who work together seamlessly. In fact, this should be only their third or fourth meeting.

Is this the mutual understanding between detectives, just like the mutual understanding between him and Joel, and between handsome men and beautiful women?

The intimate interaction between the two people was out of control, but the person who made the noise was obviously very vigilant. Although the two famous detectives noticed the reason why Nagato Michizo couldn't sleep at night, they still couldn't guess who did this, and they all felt suspicious.

Time slipped away bit by bit, and they could only put the matter aside for the time being and wait for the arrival of night.

The two decided to stay up all night!

The traces of bumps and collisions were under the rooms of the two owners, so it should not be an outsider. Maybe he will commit the crime again tonight.

The noise continued for several days, and the two felt a sense of urgency, thinking that if they didn't find the person making the noise quickly, something bad might happen.

......

Nine p.m.

In Nagato Michizo's room.

After blowing out the candles, Nagato Michisan looked at his children in front of him, feeling deeply moved.

His life was relatively happy. He had a successful business and many children, all of whom were doing pretty well. The only thing that made him regretful was his son, who gave him no peace of mind at all.

But there is no other way. The family has money, so just let him continue like this. When he marries Hinata and has children, and the children grow up under his care, the Nagato Group will still have a promising future.

As for Guangming, he had no intention of handing over the position of president to him.

He can't even get his second daughter pregnant. This kind of person is not reliable at all and will be a problem for future offspring.

Moreover, Guangming's style of doing things is rather sinister, and he has cleaned up his mess more than once. If he inherits the Nagato Group, even if he agrees, those executives and the Nagato Zaibatsu's cooperative consortium will not agree.

His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and just as he was about to open his mouth to thank them, he suddenly discovered a problem.

"Where's Hideomi?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, the others looked around and found that Nagato Hideomi was indeed not there.

"Really? He didn't even come to celebrate dad's birthday. What on earth is this guy doing?" Nagato Nobuko pouted, feeling very unhappy with her brother's behavior.

"He should still be writing novels. He often forgets the time when he is writing." Nagato Guangming said with a smile: "Father-in-law, please wait a moment. I will go downstairs to call him."

"Ah."

While Nagato Guangming went downstairs to call Nagato Hideomi, Nagato Michizo asked, "By the way, did you find anything?"

In his mind, investigating the source of the noise was as important as finding his first love.

He also suspected his four children, but he was unwilling to believe it in his heart. After much deliberation, he decided to let a detective investigate.

If this continues, he will probably die of mental breakdown before he even sees his grandchildren being born.

Hattori Heiji shook his head. "No, so Mr. Maori and I plan to stay in the villa tonight to check the situation and see if the same noise will appear again."

"Huh?" Maori Kogoro looked confused. Hattori Heiji didn't even inform him about this! This was too sudden.

"Really, Mr. Maori? Thank you so much. I'll have someone clean up the room and you can sleep here. I'll also arrange for a driver to take you to Kanagawa tomorrow."

“Uh… okay then.

Kogoro Mori nodded helplessly. It would be ungrateful to refuse now that things had come to this. However, President Nagato was really a good man. He arranged everything for him very well and even had someone to pick him up when he was investigating cases. He had never had such conditions before.

Nagato Michizo seemed a little tired. After saying a few words, he closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.

His expression was calm and his breathing was steady, so he was not poisoned.

Xia Chuan could clearly feel that the other party was still in normal condition.

"That glass of water..."

Natsukawa narrowed his eyes. Just now, when Hinata Yuki brought the water to Nagato Dosan, he added some white "seasoning" into it. It looked like it was something like sleeping pills.

Not long after Nagato Michizo fell asleep, the phone in the room rang.

The housekeeper went forward to answer the phone and found that the call was from Guangming.

The butler was very tactful and turned on the loudspeaker, and then everyone heard Guangming's voice.

"Strange, I looked everywhere but couldn't find Hideomi, maybe he ran away."

"Isn't he in the room?" asked Hinata Yuki.

"No, I'm at him..." There was a sudden pause on the other end of the phone, and then Nagato Mitsukoshi's voice suddenly became hurried.

"Hey, Hideomi, what are you doing? Hey, don't come over here! Put the knife away, are you crazy?"

The sound began to become noisy, with some crackling sounds in between, which seemed extremely chaotic.

"Hey, what happened?" the butler asked hurriedly.

"It's Hideomi, it's Hideomi, he actually wants to kill me, he's on the balcony now, I don't know what he's going to do!"

Conan and Hattori rushed to the balcony without saying a word and stretched their heads to look down.

The same was true for everyone else. Fortunately, the Nagato family's balcony was quite spacious, otherwise it would not have been able to accommodate so many people.

Below, the floor-to-ceiling window of Nagato Hideomi's balcony was pushed open. Nagato Hideomi, with a bandage on his face, seemed to have heard the noise and looked up.

He had a dagger in his mouth and a crazy look in his eyes. When he realized that someone above saw him, he walked into the room again.

Da da da--

A series of footsteps were heard, and Conan and Hattori rushed out. Before anyone could react, they had already opened the door and walked out.

The others followed suit and basically rushed out.

In the end, the only people left in the room were the unconscious president, the confused secretary, and Xia Chuan who was watching the fun.

"Mr. Xia Chuan, aren't you going down to help?"

Hinata Yuki noticed that Natsukawa did not go downstairs to check the situation, and asked with a stiff expression.

According to her plan, at this time everyone should be attracted by Nagato Mitsuki's words and go downstairs. Then she can wait on the balcony for Nagato Mitsuki to climb up and then push him down.

That's right!

Her target was not Nagato Michizo, but Nagato Mitsukoshi.

This is related to the suicide note left by Nagato Hideomi.

She was rescued by Nagato Hideomi from a fire twenty years ago. It was Nagato Hideomi who took care of her over the years. Over time, their feelings turned into love.

Some time ago, at the suggestion of Nagato Michizo, the two decided to get married.

But just yesterday, Nagato Hideomi suddenly chose to commit suicide and died in his room.

Hinata Yuki was the first person to discover it, and at the same time he saw Nagato Hideomi's suicide note.

The suicide note stated that the fire twenty years ago was actually set by Hideomi and Guangming.

In that fire, everyone in the hotel died, and she was the only one who was saved by Nagato Hideomi. She felt guilty because the other party had his face burned.

Earlier, Hinata Yuki had been urging Nagato Hideomi to have plastic surgery to remove the scars on his face, but Nagato Hideomi had always disagreed.

She didn't know the reason before, but now she knows.

It turned out that it was the other party's guilt that was at work.

After reading the letter, the anger and frustration in her heart reached a peak, and she ruthlessly planned this case.

Nagato Mitsuaki is not only an accomplice, a pawn, but also a dead person!

However, Xiachuan is right next to him now, so when Nagato Guangming comes up, he will be discovered. How can he carry out his murder plan?

Xia Chuan took in the other person's expression. He liked it when the murderer wrote the script and then interrupted and tore up the script when everyone was following the script.

"Ah? I shouldn't be needed, right? Mr. Mori aside, Hattori's kendo skills are truly inherited from his parents. The one who should be worried is Mr. Hideomi."

After that, Xia Chuan asked curiously, "Isn't Mr. Hideomi your fiancé? Wouldn't it be appropriate for you not to go downstairs to check the situation after something like this happened?"

The other party had no intention of going downstairs from the beginning, and Xia Chuan saw it all. He asked this question just to tease him and see how he would answer.

Chapter 260: Conflict of Concepts (6k)

Natsukawa's gaze made Hinata Yuki a little frightened, but the plan had come to this point and there was no turning back. There was only one chance!

"Haha, I, I'm going to go down too, but I'm a little scared. How about Mr. Xiachuan accompany me?"

"Okay!" Natsukawa nodded and walked out of the room with Hinata Yuki.

As soon as they walked out of the room, Hinata Yuki suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, it's not safe for the president to be here alone. Why don't you go down and take a look, Mr. Xiachuan, and I'll stay and take care of the president."

Without waiting for Natsukawa to answer, Hinata Yuki had already slipped back into the room at an incredibly fast speed.

The next second, the door slammed shut, followed by the sound of it being locked.

"Hey, Miss Hinata, are you okay?" Xia Chuan shouted from the door.

"It's okay, you go down first. The president is the backbone of the consortium, and there can't be any problems. I'd better stay and look after him."

Natsukawa shrugged his shoulders. There was indeed something wrong with Hinata Yuki. Natsukawa was sure that the so-called Nagato Hideomi in the afternoon was definitely her.

Xia Chuan did not leave. Instead, he leaned against the door, took out his cell phone and started playing with it.

Before walking out, he placed a surveillance device on the table. He had no doubt that this case was related to Hinata Yuki, and he never believed anything the other party said from the beginning.

The monitoring equipment was placed on the table, with the screen facing the balcony, and in the middle was Nagato Michizo's bed.

After Hinata Yuki returned to the room, he walked to Nagato Michizo and observed him for a while. He seemed to be sure that the other party had fallen into a deep sleep, then he quickly walked to the edge of the balcony.

Hinata Yuki had his back to the surveillance camera, so Natsukawa could only see the other person's back.

After a while of fiddling, a man with bandages wrapped around his face (let's call him Nagato Hideomi) climbed up from outside the railing.

The bandaged man seemed a little surprised to see Hinata Yuki, and then he opened his mouth to say something. Because the distance was too far and the surveillance camera did not have much of a radio function, Xiachuan did not hear clearly.
