Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 55 250 km/h
Xia Chuan led Shi Ren Chunxin to the Dahei Building.

Vodka had been waiting there for a long time, but Natsukawa still couldn't see Gin.

But this isn't necessarily a bad thing. He's not familiar with the distillery yet, and if he meets with Gin, there's a possibility that something unusual might be discovered.

Connecting only with vodka is undoubtedly the best transition.

Upon seeing Xia Chuan, Vodka did not inquire about Shi Renchunxin's affairs. Instead, he looked Xia Chuan up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xia Chuan was carrying a briefcase in each hand.

If Tequila doesn't bring any money, Vodka is ready to come knocking on the door to collect the debt.

Tequila is well aware that the organization is short of money lately, so it would be a bit insensible of them not to hand over the profits from selling tequila and transaction fees as soon as possible.

It might upset the older brother, and if he gets involved, it won't be as simple as just paying back the money; the code name "Tequila" might even have to be redistributed.

"Where's Gin?" Natsukawa locked Tokito Junshin in the monitoring room and turned to ask Vodka.

“The organization has so many businesses in Japan, Gin can’t stay in Tokyo forever. If it weren’t for the matter of Junshin Toki, I would have gone to Hokkaido with him today.”

Okay, I got it. I'm going to Hokkaido.

Xia Chuan nodded and slammed the briefcase onto the conference table. Two hundred million in cash was no small amount, and it made a loud noise when it hit the table.

Vodka didn't mind; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

Judging by the amount, it seems that Tequila brought all the money with him.

However, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

Voltga stepped forward, opened the two boxes, and only relaxed after confirming that the quantity was basically correct.

He closed the two suitcases, pointed to the monitoring room, and said, "I'm taking him to the software development base. Come with me."

This was something one person could have done alone, but Vodka was worried that Shi Renchunxin might have ulterior motives, and since he was carrying so much money, it would be safer to have Tequila with him.

The amount of money is not large, but it is very important for the distillery, which is currently short of funds. Without money, it is impossible to move an inch, and the same applies to a dark organization like theirs.

The research institute also needs a lot of money to cover the basic needs of the peripheral members, the daily expenses of the official members, and even the software development base we are going to is short of funds.

Two hundred million seems like a lot, but in reality, once distributed among various departments, it will be quickly exhausted.

"Okay, you drive."

Xia Chuan naturally didn't know where the software R&D base was, so to avoid giving himself away, he decided to drive with vodka.

"This is a good opportunity for me to see what's so special about Gin's personal driver."

Vodka was clearly pleased with himself upon hearing this.

He's the organization's ace driver; from bumper cars to nuclear submarines, there's nothing he can't drive, as long as there's a steering wheel.

Although he was quite skilled with firearms and hand-to-hand combat, his greatest strength was his driving skills, which was why Gin chose him as his subordinate.

"Then I'll show you later. At this time of day, traffic police are basically not on duty on the road."

Volta rotated his neck and wrists as if he were warming up, seemingly eager to try.

"You're really confident, but be careful not to run a red light if you go too fast."

"As long as I'm fast enough, red lights can't catch me. Even if I get caught on camera, at my speed, the camera will only capture a blur; they won't be able to find out my license plate number."

Vodka was brimming with confidence; it seemed like this wasn't his first time speeding in the city.

Xia Chuan showed a look of surprise and uncertainty, which made Vodka feel doubtful.

Gin's Porsche 356A is an old car, but it has obviously been modified. Although it doesn't have the nitrous oxide injection system like in Fast and Furious, the speed when you floor the accelerator is absolutely nauseating.

Xia Chuan sat steadily in the back seat, next to Shi Ren Chunxin, whose eyes were covered with a black cloth and whose legs were trembling.

"It's just 250 km/h, right? You've been driving for Mumu for the past six months for nothing, and you can't even handle that speed." Xia Chuan curled his lip in disdain.

"."

Ren Chunxin didn't speak, no, he didn't dare to speak, because he was afraid that speaking would distract the driver in front.

He probably wouldn't be afraid of driving this fast in the suburbs, but we're in the city now!

There are intersections everywhere, and you can easily have an accident if you're not careful.

Although his eyes were covered, the constant screeching of brakes and the centrifugal force generated by drifting made his stomach churn, and he was afraid that he would vomit as soon as he opened his mouth.

You can't vomit.

This car supposedly belongs to a member of an even more terrifying organization; if he throws up, he might not see the sun rise tomorrow. Vodka was clearly extremely excited; he probably hadn't had a chance to race while Gin was around, and now, taking advantage of his brother's absence, he was frantically wearing down the tires.

Xia Chuan lit a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, opened the window to flick off the ash, but the cigarette butt flew away as soon as he reached out his hand.

I almost forgot, we're going 250 km/h now.
Xia Chuan silently closed the car window and took out a lighter to relight it.

Soon, in less than fifteen minutes, the three arrived at the brewery's software R&D base in Tokyo.

The software development base is located in Shinjuku. From Beika to Shinjuku, Vodka only took fifteen minutes, running at least ten red lights. This not only proved his speed but also attracted the attention of the Metropolitan Police Department's traffic police.

However, the Porsche 356A was going too fast, and by the time the traffic police arrived at the intersection where the red light had been crossed, the car had already disappeared.

The price of driving fast was that when Shi Renchun got out of the car, he left a pile of filth next to the green belt.

Vodka gave the new peripheral member a disdainful look. "Sure enough, a peripheral member is just a peripheral member. He can't even handle this speed."

Then he nodded to Xia Chuan with satisfaction, as expected, none of the codenamed members were simple characters.

Actually, he wanted to give Tequila a hard time. He felt extremely embarrassed as Gin's underling for hanging up on him twice.

Unfortunately, the car's speed didn't seem to have any effect on the agave.

Xia Chuan sneered inwardly, naturally knowing what vodka was up to.

But what's there to be afraid of at this speed? With some modifications, his GTR could take him for a spin on Mount Akina and Takumi would have to call him "brother."

The software R&D base was extremely well hidden, and after parking, the three of them had to wander around for a while before finally reaching their destination.

It's here!
Xia Chuan couldn't help but marvel at the distillery's vision in choosing its location.

The base was surprisingly chosen on the site of an abandoned primary school.

Led by Vodka, Xia Chuan carried Shi Ren, who was somewhat nauseous and exhausted, into the room.

During this time, they also encountered several peripheral members, random passersby who didn't even have code names.

As these people greeted Vodka, they also nodded to Xia Chuan.

It seems that even tequila knows this place.

Shi Ren was quickly taken away. There were professionals here to show him around the place and his work. Xia Chuan followed Vodka to a room.

Upon entering, the sign above the door read "Teacher's Office".

This is indeed an office, but not a teacher's office; it's the winery's office.

There was no one else inside. The conference table and chairs were neatly arranged, and rows of bulky computers were lined up, making it look like an internet cafe. After Vodka and Xia Chuan entered, the screen on the front wall suddenly lit up by itself.

Xia Chuan paused for a moment, tightened his grip on the M9 in his pocket, and gently flipped the safety switch.

However, he did all of this in his pocket without making a sound or showing any abnormality on the surface, so Vodka didn't notice.

Volt quickly walked to the screen, waited for a few seconds, the screen flickered a few times, and then an image appeared.

"Big brother."

The first lackey immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle, showing extreme respect to the silver-haired man wearing a black hat in the video.

Xia Chuan took a step forward without making a sound, and looked up at the screen without saying a word.

Too many words are wrong.

Not knowing how to address Gin, Natsukawa could only remain silent.

However, after reading the conversation between vodka and tequila, it's clear that tequila isn't Gin's lackey, at least not like vodka.

Fortunately, Natsukawa was certain that Tequila was probably real alcohol, since there had been no news of Tequila being an official spy after more than a thousand episodes.

Since it's real alcohol, what's there to be afraid of?

But real liquor should look like real liquor; learn from vodka and wear sunglasses.

Uh, I don't have sunglasses.

It's okay, the vodka's complexion is also like that of the distillery.

Xia Chuan quickly put on the cold, murderous expression typical of people working at the distillery.

What Shirley referred to as smelling the distillery's atmosphere was definitely not the smell of alcohol, but most likely the distillery's emotional and expressive output.
