Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

The taste is going in a bad direction...

"Disgusting! You bastard Xia Chuan, it's all your fault..."

(The Kejia book friends circle is full of active comments. It’s also good to give me some inspiration without chatting!)

Chapter 25 Looking at each other

While Frank was cursing, Natsukawa had already walked back to Beika-cho 5-chome.

Instead of going home, he turned right and walked towards the Maori Detective Agency.

Because of the tequila incident, he told Xiaolan in advance that he would be home late today, so Anya had dinner at Maori's house.

It seems that a hostess is really needed. Every time Xiachuan cannot return home in time, at least there is someone to take care of Anya.

No!

Xia Chuan shook his head and decided to discuss the matter later. A spy cannot have too many concerns. If he has another wife, he will definitely be distracted.

Neither Xia Chuan in his previous life nor in this life had ever been in a formal relationship, so he was both looking forward to and afraid of this.

Although he had relationships with his targets or women close to them when he was a spy, all of them were fake. Xia Chuan said that this was his job and he was just being sexually aroused, but his heart was still unbreakable.

The lights are on in the Poirot Cafe downstairs in the Maori Detective Agency. Through the glass window, you can see a man and a woman busy inside. Many people like to go out for a walk after dinner. If they are couples, they will come here to have a cup of coffee.

Xia Chuan had also drunk a few times. Spies like to stay up late, so drinking coffee is the norm. However, he has given up drinking after coming to Neon.

The same goes for cigarettes. I basically don’t smoke at home now because I’m afraid Aniya will smell it.

The waitress in the cafe was Azusa Natsumoto, and the male waiter was not Toru Amuro. At that time, Toru Amuro should not have come to Neon and was a part-time college student nearby.

"Miss Xiaozi, please make me two cups of cocoa."

The few customers in the coffee shop were all in pairs. As previously speculated, they came here impromptu after a walk.

No... there was a woman sitting alone drinking coffee.

This woman was a little special and caught Xia Chuan's attention at first sight. He felt a sense of elegance and tranquility from her.

She has long black hair that reaches her waist and a cute white headband on her head. She has an oval face, fair skin, and brown-red eyes, which makes her look lively and bright.

She was wearing a red off-shoulder jumpsuit. Her collarbone and neck were very white and beautiful. The sweater only reached below her hips. Her legs were wrapped in black stockings and she was wearing a pair of high heels.

It looks pretty good, especially the cone-shaped pendant hanging on the ear, which is quite special.

This woman is quite in line with his aesthetic, but I'm sorry, I'm a spy.

If he were an ordinary person, he might have come forward to ask for a landline number.

As if she noticed his gaze, the woman turned around.

His brown-red eyes looked at Xia Chuan, his brows slightly furrowed as if he was thinking about something.

Xia Chuan smiled sheepishly, feeling so awkward that he was caught while peeking.

The woman ignored his apology, retracted her gaze, looked at the coffee cup, and stirred gently with the spoon in her hand.

Amazing.

I could actually detect his gaze. His glance just now was extremely secretive, and he mostly looked with his peripheral vision. I didn't expect that he was still discovered.

"Mr. Xiachuan, the cocoa is ready. Aniya likes sugar, so I added more to her cup."

Xia Benzi's voice interrupted his thoughts.

He is already a regular here, and so is Anya, so Xia Benzi is very familiar with their tastes.

There were two cups of cocoa on the table, packed, with a tiny hole in the lid from which steam was coming out.

Xia Chuan nodded, but after thinking about it, his fatherly mentality prompted him to say, "Next time, add a little less secretly. Too much sweetness is not good for your teeth."

Xia Benzi smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Watching Xia Chuan leave, Xia Benzi breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" asked the male waiter.

Xia Benzi forced a helpless smile, "Ania had already expected that Mr. Xia Chuan would ask me to deliberately add less sugar, and he told me several days in advance that I must not listen to Mr. Xia Chuan."

"You are really...prescient."

The two smiled at each other. They were really a lovely father and daughter. It was just a little strange that after knowing each other for such a long time, it seemed that they had never met Mr. Xiachuan's wife.

The daughter is so cute, the mother must also be a beautiful woman with flowing pink hair.

"what?"

Xia Benzi looked at the male waiter who spoke and asked, "What's wrong?"

The male waiter thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Mr. Maori and his family seemed to have gone out just now. Didn't he tell you when he left that if Mr. Xiachuan came over, you should tell him. Aniya also followed them out."

"Ah!" Xia Benzi suddenly realized.

Being too busy, she forgot about it.

"Mr. Xiachuan!"

She ran out the door in a hurry.

"Xia Chuan?" The woman who had just looked at Xia Chuan murmured and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.

So your name is Xiachuan?

That person's eyes were very sharp, even though he was just smiling at himself.

But she saw it, there was scrutiny in that smile, it was a hawk-like look.

What kind of person is he to have such a look?

Is he a killer like her?

Doorway.

Xia Chuan was about to step onto the stairs when he turned back after hearing the voice, "What's wrong, Miss Xiaozi?"

"Mr. Maori is out and not in the office now."

Have you gone out?

Xia Chuan looked up and saw that although the lights in the office were still on, there was no sound at all.

If Anya was there, there would definitely be a sound.

Moreover, this is usually the time when Kogoro Mouri watches Yoko Okino's variety show, and he should also be laughing lewdly at the same time.

It's all gone now.

"Maybe he forgot to turn off the light when he went out." Xia Benzi put his finger to his mouth and thought for a while, "Oh, right, there was another guy from Kansai who went out with him. When he went upstairs to look for Mr. Maori, he asked me about Mr. Maori downstairs."

"Kansai people? What are the characteristics of this Kansai person, in terms of body shape and appearance?"

From Kansai?

Tequila? His Kansai accent is very strong.

After all, I just followed him today, so of course I thought of him.

If it is tequila, it should be easy to identify, after all, its characteristics are quite obvious.

"Hmm... a bit dark, with an Osaka accent, about 1.75 meters tall. It seems like there's a case going on. I saw a middle-aged woman there, who should be the client."

Natsukawa understood in his mind, if that was the case, it should be Hattori Heiji!

"By the way, he said he was a famous high school detective from Kansai and came to Tokyo to look for Kudo Shinichi."

This guy......

Hattori Heiji cares too much about his reputation. Whenever he meets someone, he brags that he is the "famous high school detective" in Kansai. Wouldn't it be fine if he could just say "high school detective"? Why does he have to add a "famous" in front of the word "detective"? What kind of bragging is this?

However, Natsukawa has no ill feelings towards Hattori Heiji.

If he came to find Kudo Shinichi, then today wouldn't be the first time Conan turned back into Kudo Shinichi, right?

Why do I feel a little excited just thinking about it?

Do you want to go and see...

Of course I want to go!

"Okay, so did Mr. Maori say where to go?"

Natsukawa still remembered some of the incident in which Conan turned back into Kudo Shinichi and murdered a diplomat, but he really couldn't remember the other person's name.

All we know is that the deceased was a diplomat. There are thousands of Japanese diplomats. If it was just a position, Xia Chuan would definitely not be able to find the person.

"Yes, this is the address Mr. Mao Li gave me in advance." Xia Benzi took out a small note from his pocket and handed it over.

Xia Chuan took the note and took a look at it.

Oh, it’s not Beika Town.

The business of the Grim Reaper has spread to the cup households.

Xia Chuan put the note into his pocket and nodded to Xia Benzi to express his gratitude.

When Xia Benzi returned to the Polo Cafe, Xia Chuan turned his head to look at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cafe, looked at the woman again, and nodded apologetically again.

so awkward.

Chapter 26 Aniya Saw

In front of Tsujimura's house.

As Xia Chuan expected, there were several police cars parked here.

Natsukawa couldn't find a parking space, and there was a cordon at the entrance of Tsujimura's house, so he obviously couldn't drive the car in. He could only park the GTR behind the police car. Police cars are parked here anyway, so it should be okay, right?

Neon has very strict traffic control. Under normal circumstances, you are not allowed to park randomly on the roadside, otherwise the traffic police will give you a ticket.

But now is a special period, and if there is a police car nearby, the traffic police probably won’t issue a ticket.

Glancing at Coco who was sitting next to the driver's seat.

Not a single drop.

It seems that my driving skills are comparable to Fujiwara Takumi's. Not only are I fast, but I'm also very stable.

"Sir, you can't park here."

As soon as he got off the car, a police officer walked up to Xia Chuan, took a look at the cocoa in his hand, and frowned.

"I came to Tsujimura's house to look for Mr. Mori." Natsukawa pointed to the cordon at the gate of the villa and asked, "Excuse me, what happened here?"

"A friend of Mr. Maori's?"

The police officer immediately relaxed a little and no longer cared about Xia Chuan's parking problem. He just took a closer look at the cocoa in Xia Chuan's hand.

"Come with me."

The police officer was very easy to talk to and led Xia Chuan directly into the house.

Kogoro Mouri still has some status in the Metropolitan Police Department. Not to mention that he used to be a detective of the Metropolitan Police Department, even now he is still helping the Metropolitan Police Department solve cases, and his recent achievements have led to his admirers in the Metropolitan Police Department mushrooming like mushrooms after rain.

"Are you here to deliver some reasoning props?" the police officer couldn't help but ask.

He has been unhappy with those two cups of cocoa for a long time. This is a murder scene.

"Oh, you said this!"

Xia Chuan stretched out the tone, lifted Coco and shook her in front of the police officer, trying to find an excuse in his mind.

The next moment, an idea struck me!

"You probably all know that Mr. Maori goes to sleep once he solves a case. I think everyone is familiar with the name of the sleeping Kogoro, right?"

The police officer nodded.

Natsukawa continued, "Mr. Maori recently wanted to try to solve a case without falling asleep, so I bought two cups of cocoa. Maybe you can see the sober detective Maori Kogoro."

"Swoosh! But wouldn't coffee and tea be more effective?"

"You don't know this. This is the latest cocoa developed. One cup will refresh your mind, and two cups will keep you from getting tired."

"That's it!"

The police officer's eyes were bright, as if he had seen Mouri Kogoro's new state of solving the case.

Maori has solved a lot of cases lately, and he always had to sleep to solve the cases, but is he finally going to take the sober route now?
