Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 7 Treasure Hunt
This is the eighth day since Xia Chuan came to Japan.

He could barely be considered excited today. Counting the time, the weapon delivery date he had arranged with the IRS was today. He got up early in the morning and sat on the third-floor open-air balcony, leisurely sipping a cup of coffee in his left hand.

As for Anya, she was sent to school by Xia Chuan.

No, Bond took her to school.

Since starting school, Bond has become Anya's go-to-school mode of transportation, causing other elementary school students to rave about it, and for a time the price of large dogs in Beika Town skyrocketed.

He enrolled in Class 1-B at Teitan Elementary School, just like Natsukawa planned, and was in the same class as Conan.

Life without work is truly wonderful.

But the next moment.

boom!
The balcony door on the third floor was kicked open forcefully, and Frank, wearing sunglasses and holding a cup of coffee, appeared.

"You'll have to pay me back for the broken door, but can't you be more careful?"

Frank took a satisfied sip of his coffee. "It's no big deal, I'll pay it off!"

A Fukuzawa Yukichi card was slammed onto the table.

Xia Chuan didn't even lift his eyes.

He wasn't talking about losing money, but about losing his mood, since a broken door would definitely upset him.

Xia Chuan asked, "Did the IRS give you the address?"

"Address? What address?"

Frank pushed up his sunglasses and took another sip of coffee. Although his eyes were not visible, his tone was filled with doubt.

Xia Chuan suddenly had a bad feeling. "Didn't the IRS say they were going to deliver the weapons on Monday, which is today?"

Frank's forehead creased with a question mark. "What Monday? Today's Friday! Our agreed trading time is Monday, there are still three days left!"

Sure enough! Something bad happened.

Xia Chuan's spirits plummeted. Time had gone wrong!

They arrived in Japan eight days ago, the Sunday before last, so today must be Monday!
Moreover, Anya stayed home yesterday and the day before, which was obviously the weekend, so today must be Monday.

What day of the week was yesterday?

"Sunday!"

What day of the week is it today?

"Friday? Is there a problem?"

Frank spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and even pulled his sunglasses down to reveal his eyes, as if he wanted to take a good look at Xia Chuan.

Are you exhausted? Well, it would be strange if you weren't tired with a daughter like that.

Fine, I'm tired. Let's destroy it.

Xia Chuan placed his arm in front of his eyes, closed them, and began to sleep.

If the timing is like this, it's unclear when he'll receive the IRS equipment.

Then Natsukawa thought of Anya. Actually, it's not bad. If you go to the first year of school for twenty years, you should become a little smarter, right?

His father has been suffering a lot of mistreatment lately.

"By the way, since we're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, how about we take on some orders?"

Xia Chuan pondered for a long time, and it seemed to be true. In the days that had come, the more time passed, the more bored he felt.

What orders can we fulfill here in Japan?

“That’s not what I meant, I meant detective!” Frank became interested, took off his sunglasses and said enthusiastically, “Spies and detectives are actually quite similar. I think even if you take a break from being a spy, you could still consider becoming a detective.”

"Looking for a cat, a dog, or an affair?" Xia Chuan sneered, turned over, and faced away from Frank.

That's a terrible idea.

Xia Chuan knew what Frank meant; he just wanted to know where Frank was going to start with the distillery, since so far Frank hadn't seen any connection between the distillery and the people and things in front of him.

"Keep an eye on the game launch events at Full Paradise lately!"

Frank raised an eyebrow. "That organization is connected to Full Heaven Games? Where did you get this information?"

As expected, Xia Chuan must have other intelligence officers!
Who is it! Don't let him find out, or we'll make him pay.

Without waiting for Xia Chuan's reply, Frank could only give up and say, "I understand."

In the afternoon, Xia Chuan was choosing a car at Pisco's car company. Although Japan is not a big city, people still need a car to get around.

"Let's take this one!"

Xia Chuan chose the Skyline GT-R, a car with horsepower reaching the limit in Japan. With a little modification, it could be used for racing on Mount Akina. In the world of Detective Conan, having a fast sports car is essential.

Ke Xue's worldview is extremely outlandish. He needs to prepare for urban chases, and a high-horsepower car is essential, because one day he might need to race against the Shinkansen.

After making his selection, Xia Chuan paid the full amount and drove away while the other party watched him go.

He didn't have a Japanese driver's license, but the forged documents Frank gave him included one. It didn't matter whether the driver's seat was on the left or right, as he had experience with both.

The GTR roared away from the city. Xia Chuan planned to drive around for a bit. The 280 horsepower made it feel like a wild horse running free. Soon, it left the city center and entered the suburbs.

At the same time, a police car followed behind.

Xia Chuan's lips twitched slightly, a hint of helplessness in his expression. He'd been too excited and forgotten to slow down, attracting the attention of the police. "Please pull over, vehicles ahead."

The only response to Yumi Miyamoto was the howling and wailing of the engine. The GTR accelerated again and again, leaving a blur in its wake before disappearing from her sight.

In the GTR, Natsukawa smiled. He hadn't even had time to put on the license plate yet, and given that surveillance in Japan at this time, even in Tokyo, was extremely lax, he didn't need to worry about the other party finding him through the surveillance cameras.

"Damn it! If Miwako were here, this guy wouldn't have gotten away. White GTR, I'll remember you!"

Miyamoto Yumi was furious and slammed her hands on the steering wheel.

Beep beep beep!
"Oops, I honked the horn."

Because Natsukawa was going too fast, Miyamoto Yumi had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Not long after, Xia Chuan reappeared in front of Miyamoto Yumi in his RTG, this time at an even faster speed, disappearing around the corner in the blink of an eye, leaving only a sharp drifting sound and obvious black marks on the ground.

"I'm so angry! Hey, Moshi Moshi, is this Miwako?"

Inside the GTR.

Xia Chuan originally planned to continue playing in the suburbs for a while, but then Anya's alarm went off!
Before starting school, he gave Anya an alarm, which she could press whenever she was in danger or felt unsafe.

It also has a built-in positioning device, so Xia Chuan can easily find Anya's location.

This thing was ordered from the dark web by Natsukawa at a high price. It works very well, and at least half of Tokyo is within the device's response range.

"Ania, what are you standing there for? Our Junior Detective Club's treasure hunt has begun! Hurry up and catch up!"

Ayumi waved excitedly, and the other two besides Conan were also very interested in the treasure map they had just found. They were certain they could find the treasure if they deciphered the symbols on it.

"But. But!"

Anya seemed ill, unable to take a step or force a smile.

"No buts, let's go! That tower-shaped symbol should be pointing to Tokyo Tower. Let's go check it out over there!"

At the enthusiastic invitation of the Junior Detective Club, Anya joined the Junior Suicide Squad on her first day at school.

This was her first case, but she wasn't happy about it.

While others were still wondering whether the treasure map was real or fake, she had already heard some strange whispers in their hearts.

A theft gang had their eyes on them—or rather, the treasure map they possessed.

The treasure map was actually real! Anya would be overjoyed at any time, but today, her father wasn't around, and the thieves had guns!

With Xia Chuan not around, Anya's courage dwindled to the size of a fingernail.

"Strange, why is it still moving?" Xia Chuan looked at the location, turned the steering wheel, and the GTR completed a magnificent drift at the intersection with a whoosh.

Tokyo Tower? Weren't we in class today? Did you go to Tokyo Tower after class?

Xia Chuan continued driving. As it got closer to six o'clock, there were many more cars on the road, which affected Xia Chuan's speed.

It took him more than twenty minutes to get from the suburbs to Tokyo Tower, during which he drifted countless times. Xia Chuan has already started to consider changing his tires. If he drifts like this with ordinary tires, he'll probably see the rims in a couple of days.

"Get out of here! And don't you ever come back!"

Several children were thrown out of the clothing store. Xia Chuan took a closer look and realized, yes, they had been found.

Looking at the positioning again, Xia Chuan was very satisfied; this thing was quite useful.

"What are you guys doing?" Xia Chuan walked up to the group, squatted down, and asked.

When the clothing store owner saw that it appeared to be a parent, he began to pour out his grievances.

"You must be these children's guardian! Look at them, so young yet causing trouble in the clothing store, turning our underwear upside down everywhere, especially this fat one, who even ransacked the women's changing room, he has no shame!"

As soon as Xia Chuan arrived, he was scolded for two minutes. In the end, he had no choice but to take out a Fukuzawa Yukichi card and slap it on the boss's mouth.

The shop owner immediately shut up and greeted them warmly as they left, "Boss~ come again when you have time, your kids are so cute!"

Walking to the car, Xia Chuan finally asked, "What kind of detective game are you playing now?"

As he spoke, he casually picked up the pendant hanging on his leg.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, we're on a treasure hunt!"

Genta felt no shame for searching the women's changing room. He took the treasure map from Ayumi and handed it to Natsukawa.

"This is a treasure map? An iron tower, stars, rectangles, and fish... what kind of nonsense is this?"

Looking at the strange symbols on it, Xia Chuan was utterly speechless.

Is this supposed to be a treasure map? What use is a bunch of random symbols combined together?

Suddenly, he noticed something, turned to look at the surging crowd, but found nothing.

But just now, there were definitely several pairs of eyes watching him! No, they should be staring at this treasure map!

Xia Chuan adjusted his attitude, tried hard to recall, and finally found the clues to the plot deep in his mind.

Maple Leaf Gold Coin Case!

Strange, shouldn't this case be in its early stages? Kogoro Mouri is already famous, and this case is only just beginning?
"Alright, Anya, I'm taking you with me now. You guys go ahead with the treasure hunt, and be careful!"

Xia Chuan grabbed Anya and threw her into the back seat of the car before driving away.

If it's Maple Leaf Coins, then I'll reluctantly join in. My expenses have been quite high lately, so I'll try to earn some to supplement my household income.
