Stay away from Conan.

"So, the boy you brought back..."

Beika Central Hospital, serving as the FBI's temporary base in Japan and the hiding place of the unconscious Rena Mizunashi, was in the early hours of the morning. After returning from their operation, Jodie and Shuichi Akai met there. Shuichi Akai glanced at Shinichi Kudo in the adjacent hospital room and then asked Jodie this question—

After all, there has to be some explanation for suddenly bringing a young man here at this time.

In response, Judy couldn't help but reply:
"He is Shinichi Kudo, the high school detective who is very famous in Japan. He is also the person I met at the Tokyo Tower who is involved in this incident. He should know something about the organization, so for various reasons, I brought him back here injured."

Judy explained the situation, and inwardly felt a pang of sympathy for Gao Yuan, who had made the suggestion.

It seems that, apart from the boy, the detectives around him all seem to know something about the organization, but it's unclear to what extent they know.

If you only have a basic understanding of this, it would be extremely dangerous. However, judging from their handling of the matter, they seem very cautious. So, since things have come to this point, why not get to know them better?

After listening to Jodie's explanation, Shuichi Akai seemed to understand something, and then asked:
"What's the latest situation with the East Tower?"

"It seems that the detective named Akechi Takato has been assigned to deal with the police..."

"In this incident, from the very beginning, the organizers disguised themselves as officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, and then tried to retrieve something from a certain murderer, and what they wanted to retrieve was..."

"It was a memory card. However, after our people carefully examined the memory card, they found that there was nothing inside."

"It's quite regrettable," Judy replied, then sighed and turned to Shuichi Akai, asking about his situation.

"So, Xiu, what about you over there?"

"There was no one in the armed helicopter. By the time our people arrived, even the wreckage of that helicopter had been damaged by a secondary explosion. It's unlikely that those guys left us any clues."

Shuichi Akai replied calmly—

After all, although he contacted James immediately after seeing the armed helicopter crash and arranged for people to handle it, he figured that with that kind of crash, it wouldn't be difficult for the guys in the helicopter to escape. Therefore, it was expected that the other side would take care of everything as soon as possible.

"but……"

At this point, Shuichi Akai paused briefly before analyzing:
"The organization is very likely to take further action after tonight!"

Shuichi Akai was well aware of this. He had been sniped from his own position, which meant that the other side had seen him. In addition, Jodie had appeared directly on the Tokyo Tower, so it was a certainty that the organization knew that they were involved. Therefore, Shuichi Akai did not think that the organization could remain calm after suffering such a loss.

"Um……"

Hearing Shuichi Akai's words, without needing further explanation, Jodie understood why he would say that. She pondered for a moment, then asked:

"Speaking of which, what happened to the mysterious person who gave you the message? Did they send anything else?" After all, the source of this trip was the message that mysterious person gave to Shuichi Akai, which led to so many things happening tonight. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have known that the organization was still making these plans.

Shuichi Akai shook his head, indicating no, and then added that it was getting late and they would wait for Shinichi Kudo to wake up before assessing the situation.

Thus, Shuichi Akai and Jodie parted ways temporarily. Jodie stayed with Shinichi Kudo, while Shuichi Akai headed towards the hospital room where Rena Mizunashi was hiding.

"The purpose of our mission was to retrieve a memory card containing a list of our spies, but the one you received is probably empty. Of course, if needed, I can provide a few names for you to investigate, but right now, you should be facing more important issues, shouldn't you?"
"Rena Mizunashi. The organization should be discovering where you're hiding her soon. Their retaliation will likely come immediately after this operation. So, prepare now..."

"By the way, just a heads-up, Rena Mizunashi has another identity."

As he parted ways with Jodie, this message surfaced in Shuichi Akai's mind—

This message was sent to me by that mysterious person immediately after the armed helicopter crashed.

However, for the time being, Shuichi Akai did not intend to reveal the situation immediately.

At least, the other party's remark that Mizunashi Rena had another identity clearly hinted at something...

Let's wait until this news is confirmed before discussing anything else. After all, Shuichi Akai has a feeling that once this situation is confirmed, it will definitely affect the planning and deployment of the next action against the organization!

……

"Ran, are you sure that the man who impersonated Manager Matsumoto is the same person who broke into the Mouri Detective Agency?"

At the Metropolitan Police Department, after Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato rescued the real Supervisor Matsumoto and went to support the Tokyo Tower, the situation at the Tokyo Tower had long been resolved. With the crash of the armed helicopter, the entire Metropolitan Police Department was busy tonight, beginning the cleanup work for this incident.

Clearly, at this point, there is no longer any doubt about the serial murder case itself. The real culprit, Kazuki Honjo, has been apprehended. The fact that Kazuki Honjo was misled into believing that Kosuke Mizutani had killed Sumire Shindo was actually done by Miwako Sato and her group. Therefore, it is easy for them to clarify the logic of this case regarding the Tanabata fire incident and the beginning and end of this serial murder, including the fact that Sumire Shindo was not actually dead.

Therefore, the murder case is almost beyond doubt, but now, the most important thing that has been revealed is that someone was obviously impersonating the Matsumoto manager, and in the end, they even used an armed helicopter to straf the Tokyo Tower.

Therefore, Xiaolan was naturally a key person to be questioned among those who were inside the East Tower at the time.

Thus, after waking up from his coma, Inspector Megure immediately understood the situation and organized a conversation. As a result, he learned from Ran that the person impersonating Manager Matsumoto and the person who infiltrated the detective agency were the same person.

Furthermore, according to Ran and Takato, this incident seems to be related to an investigation that Shinichi Kudo had previously participated in—

The case of Shigehiko Tobuchi's murder... (End of this chapter)
