Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 48 Walking the Dog

Upon entering the room, Xia Chuan unpacked the documents.

The leather envelope was quite thick, but when I opened it, there were only two A4 sheets of paper inside.

The two A4 sheets of paper contain the personal information of two people.

One of the photos, featuring a bald man, had a red stamp in the lower right corner of his personal information.

The rounded character for "death" is reddish-black, resembling a death sentence pronounced in court.

Let's look at the name again, Mumu is named.

According to the information above, this Mumu is the president of Giant Wood Enterprises.

This is a commercial computer software development company.

No wonder he's bald; it's because of his job.

The name on the second piece of personal information is Shiren Chunxin.

According to the information, this person's profession is software engineering development, but his resume states that he is currently working as a driver for Mumu Company under the pseudonym "Mumu".

Going back further in the records, two years ago, Chunxin was a software developer at Jumu Company.

Later, it seems he started a new venture and went solo with his friends.

My company went bankrupt a year ago, and my friend committed suicide.

Six months ago, he returned to Giant Wood Company and begged the company's president, Mumu Yu, claiming that he would beg him to take him in even if he had to work as a driver.

Without a doubt, if nothing unexpected happens, this company president is going to have an accident.

Even without this red stamp, President Mumu would probably have died at the hands of Tokito Junshin very soon.

He was biding his time, undoubtedly waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. The documents clearly state that when Shi Ren Chunxin started his own company, he was met with strong opposition from Jumu Company.

Any project that their company takes on will be targeted by Giant Tree.

The numerous instances of low-price bidding were the real reason why the then-new company went bankrupt.

Mumu Yu is to be killed, and Shiren Junxin will join the brewery after Mumu Yu's death.

The other party clearly has outstanding achievements in software technology; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to negotiate with the winery and would need to send codenamed members to help them kill someone.

However, just to be on the safe side, Xia Chuan still called Vodka to confirm if that was the case.

After receiving an affirmative reply, Xia Chuan was about to hang up the phone.

"Hey! You have three days to deliver the money to the Big Black Building."

Vodka was still resentful about Xia Chuan hanging up on him earlier, and his tone was particularly stiff at this moment, as if he wanted to point a gun at him.

"I know," Xia Chuan said dismissively.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chuan went downstairs and found that all three screens were distorted.

This means that Ueda, Nakajima, and Takeshita have all been killed in action.

Compared to the then-new commercial software developers, the three game developers, Nakajima, were clearly much less capable, and the company never showed any mercy to those who were useless.

"Please check these two people's schedules for me; I need to deal with them tomorrow."

After handing the documents to Frank and giving him a brief explanation, Xia Chuan rushed home.

9:30 was the time Xia Chuan and Anya had agreed upon.

Bond hasn't been taken for a walk for many days. The furthest he's gone recently is the yard at home. If this continues, the dog might suffocate.

When they got home, Anya and Bond were already ready.

Anya was fully armed, wearing a little skirt and carrying a small bag containing garbage bags and clips.

Anyone who has ever walked a dog should know the purpose of this equipment.

"Father, I can't wait any longer."

"I can't wait." Xia Chuan sighed, rubbing his head helplessly.

“Yes, Bond can’t wait.” With that, Anya hopped onto the dog’s back.

Seeing this, Xia Chuan suspected Anya had ulterior motives. Whether she was planning to walk the dog or simply wanted to ride Bond around town, only Anya knew.

"Wang?"

Bond exclaimed in confusion, "You're just walking the dog, why are you riding on it?"

If you do this, it'll be inconvenient for me later!
Despite understanding Bond's inner thoughts, Anya remained unmoved and continued to lie still.

She's been so tired these past few days, constantly peeking at Poirot's Café through her window; it's giving her eyes a bit of strain. As for whether Bond is available at certain times...
"Bond, let me know if you need to poop."

Anya squinted, enjoying the pleasure of riding the dog.

Just as they stepped out of the house, the two people and their dog encountered Conan at their doorstep.

Conan had changed out of his evening clothes, and his disheveled appearance had improved somewhat, but he seemed to be in a low mood. He didn't even notice the two people and the dog standing right in front of him.

Anya looked at Conan, who was about to crash into her and Bond, with a strange expression and asked, "Conan, what's wrong with you?"

Bond, with remarkable intuition, reached out and placed his hand on Conan's forehead, stopping him in his tracks.

what?
Pushing the dog's paw away, Conan barely regained his senses. He looked up and almost kissed the dog's nose; the distance between them was only three centimeters.

Pity.

Xia Chuan sighed; he almost kissed her, and Xiao Lan almost got cuckolded by Bond.

But it's not a big problem; Bond is a male dog and has been vaccinated.

"Conan, where have you been?"

Xia Chuan asked curiously.

Before he returned, he heard Frank mention that Conan had run to the front desk to ask him about tequila.

As a result, Fukuzawa Yukichi wasted two tickets and was even tricked into finding a car rental shop in Beika Town.

It's a bit miserable.

Swoosh~
Anya, having overheard her father's thoughts, thoughtfully dismounted from Bond's back, gently patted Conan's shoulder, and adopted a mature and sophisticated demeanor.
"Conan, what are you looking for? If you're having any trouble, just tell me. As the leader of the Junior Detective League, I'll do my best to help."

"Really?" Conan turned to look at Natsukawa. "Uncle Natsukawa, could you drive me to Aoyama Car Rental? I heard it's in 5-chome, but I couldn't find it. But Uncle Natsukawa has a car, so he should know where Aoyama Car Rental is, right?"

Xia Chuan was both amused and exasperated. This guy was still looking for that car rental shop; he really had perseverance. But I promised Anya, so don't look for me!
Helping is out of the question. Not only does Aoyama Car Rental not even exist, but even if it did, he's busy walking Anya right now, so he doesn't have time to play detective house with Conan.

"But you mentioned a car rental shop in Aoyama? There shouldn't be one in 5-chome, right? I've never seen one there."

Xia Chuan thought for a moment and added, "You can ask Uncle Mori. Maybe he knows something. I remember Uncle Mori rents cars often, so he should know a lot about this."

"Yup!"

Conan suddenly realized that the Black Organization had blinded him to the situation, and he hadn't noticed that he had a friend, Kogoro Mouri, who frequently rented cars from him.

"Huh? Where are you all going?" With the weight lifted from his heart, he finally asked.

Anya brandished the rope in her hand. "Let's take Bond for a walk!"

"Is that so? If you tie a rope around Bond's neck, maybe I'll believe you."

Conan made a sarcastic remark, while Anya's dog leash was wrapped around her wrist on one side and dragging on the ground on the other, leaving Bond completely unrestrained.

If Conan didn't know that Bond was super well-behaved and very smart, he would definitely have said something to Anya.

"By the way, Anya and Uncle Xia Chuan, be careful. I just heard the sound of fire trucks several times. There might be a fire or something nearby."

Anya, hands on hips and serious, said, "I know. Anya isn't a child. She'll be careful."

"Whatever~" Conan walked away quickly, not wanting to have any more conversation with Anya.

After Conan left, Anya looked thoughtfully at the dog leash in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Xia Chuan asked, puzzled.

"Father, Bond doesn't like dog leashes. If he absolutely has to wear one around his neck, can he wear it around mine instead?"

Anya looked serious as she spoke, preparing to hang the dragging end of the rope around her neck.

"It's not necessary."

Xia Chuan quickly stopped him. If he put it on, someone would probably call the police soon. If that happened, he'd be accused of abusing his daughter, and he'd have nowhere to turn for justice.

"Woof~"

Suddenly, the dog barked, tugged at Anya's bag, and forcefully bit Anya's clothes, throwing her around in a circle.

"Hey—Bond, what are you doing?"

"That was fun! Anya wants more, Bond, another one!"

Anya was thrown half a circle before landing steadily. She was overjoyed to have discovered a new world. Just as she was about to urge Bond on, she saw Bond's paw outstretched, seemingly pointing ahead.

"What's going on up ahead?"

Anya followed Bond's dog paw and looked down.
