Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 85 What is the relationship between fishnet stockings and fishermen?
In the evening, the last bus to Moonshadow Island was greeted by several police officers.

The person in the lead was Inspector Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department. Compared to the withered and emaciated old police officer, Inspector Megure was obviously more authoritative.

Besides, he was accompanied by several people, walking with a bold and unrestrained manner. They were dressed in black, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were gangsters.

"So, Mori, you've run into another case?"

In the community center's reception room, Inspector Megure's voice was filled with helplessness. What kind of person could possibly encounter cases every few days?

During this period, Mori's friend had been incredibly popular with the dead; he had even forgotten how many times the other person had encountered murder cases.

"Hahaha, this is a summoning, a summoning!"

Instead of feeling ashamed, Kogoro Mouri proudly declared, "It's all fate. It's deduction that's calling me, the great detective."

Sitting at home, a request comes from heaven. The famous detective is wondering who to reason with? It was 500,000 who made the first move; he was summoned as well.

The client paid an appearance fee of 500,000 yuan and didn't even leave a refund option, so he had no choice but to face the challenge head-on.

Inspector Megure interrupted impatiently, "Alright, let's not talk about that. I heard you and Natsukawa found the body of the deceased."

"Yes," Kogoro Mouri said with a sigh.

What kind of deep-seated hatred did the murderer have for the victim? Not only did he throw the body off a cliff, but he also chose a place with stray dogs to dump it. He was almost disgusted when he examined the body.

If he hadn't become accustomed to seeing all sorts of corpses over the years, he really wouldn't have been able to bear it; it was too gruesome to look at.

Speaking of which, could this guy have actually found Keiji Aso's ghost and is seeking revenge?

"Hey, isn't that Instructor Joel?" Inspector Megure spotted Joel in the crowd and exclaimed in surprise.

"Good evening, Inspector Megure," Joel greeted him as well.

She is a tactical combat instructor for the Metropolitan Police Department, and she knows almost all the police officers in the department, including Inspector Megure.

"What are you doing here?" Inspector Megure glanced at Yole's side with a puzzled look, and nodded knowingly when he saw that it was Natsukawa next to her.

He pressed down on his hat, a look of sudden realization on his face: "I see, I understand now."

Joel: ?
What do you know?

I was just traveling with friends, really just friends. Inspector Megure, don't be like Yumi, spouting nonsense.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have shown any mercy even to a police inspector.

Inspector Megure didn't see any ill intent in Joel's eyes. Instead, he thought the other person was just shy, so he immediately gave him a sensible smile.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything. I'd heard you had a boyfriend before, turns out it's Xia Chuan, my little brother."

Joel:
Oh no, the misunderstanding has deepened.

The gloomy sky mirrored the heavy mood of the crowd, making it hard to breathe.

The shadow of death loomed over everyone on Moon Shadow Island, especially Ken Nishimoto and Hideo Kawashima, whose expressions were unpredictable. As they left, they kept turning back to look at each other, as if they wanted to stay by Inspector Megure's side and never leave.

However, this was impossible. Inspector Megure took the horrific case very seriously, and as soon as he learned the details, he had Kogoro Mouri lead the way.

Kogoro Mouri, along with Narumi Asai, Inspector Megure, and a group of police officers, headed to the cliff, while Natsukawa made an excuse to decline Kogoro Mouri's invitation.

Let's skip seeing the body. We already saw it this afternoon; the body was too badly damaged. Besides, he has things to do tonight.

He also needs to make a trip to Kawashima and Nishimoto's place to make sure all the evidence has been destroyed.

The murderer is still at large, and Inspector Megure has already arrived. If something were to happen to Kenjiro Nishimoto and Hideo Kawashima, it wouldn't be so easy for the police to destroy evidence.

So, apart from Kogoro Mouri, the others all turned back.

Conan was being dragged along by Ran the whole way. That guy is such a handful; Ran doesn't dare let go of his hand now, afraid that Conan will interfere with her father's investigation again if she's not careful. Along the way, Natsukawa led the group into the night market on Tsukikage Island.

Since it's a tourist attraction, a night market is a must.

Although it can't compare to Tokyo in terms of liveliness and prosperity, its local charm is still very appealing.

Besides selling local specialties, some items also feature clothing in the local style.

For example, fishnet stockings?
Xia Chuan fell into deep thought: What is the connection between fishing net socks and fishermen?
Is it the literal meaning?

Xia Chuan really wanted to buy one for Yoel; his long legs would look amazing with it.

However, he abandoned the idea after only a second in his mind. The relationship between the two was still too shallow, and it would be too impolite to buy women's products for her.

“Oh, Father, I want to buy that fishing net for Aunt Joel.”

Anya, who was on the same wavelength, immediately stepped in to help. Since her father couldn't speak up, she said, "Let me do it. Let me bear all of this."

In Conan's words, "Anyway, I'm just a kid, so I'll be forgiven for whatever I do."

"No, no!" o(>﹏<)o
Joel quickly waved his hand. What's wrong with Anya? A little kid actually wants to buy her this.

Well?
Could it be that Mr. Natsukawa taught him?
Just now, Mr. Natsukawa seemed to be staring at the fishnet stocking stall for a long time.

Xia Chuan was completely unaware that his shyness had been discovered. He only felt that Anya had given him a great assist, and immediately became interested. However, he still had to pretend on the surface, saying, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Joel blushed. Reason told her not to, but emotion told her it was a gift from Anya.

According to Yumi's first law of love, should she refuse at this moment, or refuse, or refuse?
Xiao Lan didn't dare to speak because she noticed Anya had glanced at her several times, as if she wanted to buy her one too.

That's unnecessary; she felt ashamed and realized she couldn't handle that style.

Looking at Miss Joel, she was petite and graceful, and seemed a bit unsuitable for someone like herself.

However, she didn't say anything, as it would be too rude for a lady to say, "You don't look good in this."

Conan, lost in thought, completely forgot about the case, staring at the fishnet stockings, staring at Ran's thighs, staring at the fishnet stockings again and again, seemingly enjoying the cycle immensely.

After fiddling around for a while, Xia Chuan still couldn't buy the fishnet stockings.

It wasn't that Xia Chuan was embarrassed, but rather that Yue Er was shy and accidentally cracked the telephone pole next to him when he waved.

Who could stand this? At least Xia Chuan couldn't, and immediately brushed aside this terrifying topic.

This is just like Xiaolan's situation.

Afterwards, the group found a fisherman's restaurant to have dinner.

While solving cases with Uncle Mori, we didn't even get to eat. And although it was supposed to be Uncle Mori's treat, Natsukawa ended up paying for both lunch and dinner.

"I'm sorry, Xia Chuan-ge, you've gone to so much trouble."

Xiao Lan was a little embarrassed to speak up, since Xia Chuan had paid for lunch and dinner as well.

“It’s alright, my father is very rich.” Anya said, hands on her hips, head held high, making Conan feel incredibly embarrassed.

"Hey, Anya." Xia Chuan picked up the little brat helplessly. "Don't talk nonsense."

There was one more thing Xia Chuan didn't say: Don't blurt out the truth.

Anya (oω`o): I understand.
