The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1224: Eighteen-year-old girl is afraid of social death!
"I'm gonna start now!"

By the time Fujino and his group returned, it was already late.

Maori's dinner is always prepared by Xiaolan. Today, she has been running around with Fujino and the others all day, so she naturally has no time to go home and cook.

After Akemi Miyano closed Snow King Ice Castle, the Shimokasa sisters helped prepare dinner early.

So everyone had dinner at Fujino's house.

After eating and drinking, Xiaolan stayed at Fujino's house to help Mingmei and the others clean up the mess left after the meal for so many people.

Haibara Ai felt like there was nothing she could do and just took a break.

She looked at Conan who was sitting on the sofa and suddenly asked:

"So what on earth are you thinking about? This is what you have been thinking about since just now."

"I was thinking about that Mizunashi Reina."

Conan explained in a deep voice, and asked Huihara Ai, "Don't you think that Hondou Eisuke looks a lot like Mizunashi Rena?"

"It does look like..."

Huiyuan Ai asked: "So, what does this have to do with your thinking?"

"Are you worried that Hondou Eisuke is the guy sent by the organization to find Mizunashi Rena?"

Conan nodded at her guess and said calmly, "This guy's purpose is too obvious. He transferred here, got to know Fujino through Xiaolan and Sonoko, and then asked Fujino a lot of questions about Mizunashi Rena."

"I don't believe that he approached Fujino without a purpose."

After saying this, he looked at her with confusion, "But then again, don't you have any doubts about that guy Hondou Eisuke?"

“I haven’t seen him many times.”

Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms over her chest, sat on the sofa, and whispered: "Although I don't know what his purpose is, I feel that he has little to do with the organization. Of course, it is also possible that he is pretending."

"But I definitely didn't sense much organization from him."

"..." Conan was speechless: "So your feeling of being able to sense the members of the organization was not triggered in him, so you think he is not a member of the organization, right?"

Haibara Ai looked at Conan, wanting to confirm that this was the case, and it was indeed the case, but she did not admit it.

This is indeed a bit imprecise.

She just thought: "I thought about his purpose of contacting Fujino. After all, from his current performance, it is obvious that he is contacting Fujino directly instead of contacting other people."

"It may be because of the fact that Mizunashi Rena had asked him to do something for her. After all, this is the only connection between Fujino and Mizunashi Rena."

“That leaves two possibilities.”

Conan naturally knew what the other party meant, and continued: "One possibility is that the organization is investigating Mizuno Rena's affairs, and sent him here to contact Fujino specifically to obtain information about Mizuno Rena."

"The second possibility is that he is just looking for Mizunashi Rena for some reason."

Huihara Ai nodded: "Both are possible, but according to the organization's style of doing things, they shouldn't do it so quietly."

"Even if Fujino is a famous detective, the organization won't be afraid of anything."

"After all, the last high school detective was beaten up by the organization."

Conan: "..."

Why don't you bring up any of the issues, right?
He felt a little speechless: I was just hit by a club, why are you still nitpicking me?
Can you still be criticized for the rest of your life if you get knocked unconscious with a club?

Conan felt helpless and sighed: "So, it would be great if I could just tell that Fujino guy about this."

"This way, if we remind him, he should be able to be on guard."

"Although he is very cautious when talking to Hondou Eisuke about Mizunashi Rena..."

"That's true, but Damei." Huiyuan Ai said with a stern face, "Fujino is just an ordinary detective. It's absolutely not okay to involve him."

"..." Conan was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but complain: "So, with Fujino's strength, I'm afraid... there's no danger, right? I guess if we let him go, the organization will be completely destroyed by him, right?"

Conan couldn't help but recall what Lupin had said before: This guy is a very dangerous person.

Come to think of it, Fujino is indeed quite dangerous.

He didn't even dare to think that it wasn't him that Gin hit him with a club that day, but what would have become of Fujino now.

I guess that old guy Gin would be knocked unconscious by Fujino with a wooden sword and then beaten up while cursing.

Thinking of this, Conan inexplicably felt a little funny.

But when I think about the fact that I was beaten and that I am not as good as Fujino, I feel a little uncomfortable.

"..."

After hearing this, Haibara Ai fell silent for a while, looking at Conan in front of her, not knowing what to say, because she felt that what Conan said made some sense.

Even now, she is still hiding it from Fujino, and Edogawa is still hiding it from Xiaolan, simply because they don't know how to start the conversation.

After all, they couldn't just go up and say that they were actually adults of 17 or 18 years old, but were knocked unconscious with a club, locked up, and made to take pills, and thus shrunk to their current size, right?
Xiaolan is a "weak" girl, so it's right not to tell her.

Tell Xiaolan that she can't help them...

On the contrary, it will be held back by one's personality.

Edogawa certainly wouldn't dare to say it. After all, they have been living together for so long. If it were exposed, he would probably be socially ruined. But social ruin is no big deal.

If Xiaolan found out that Kudo had been living with her all along, she would probably be so angry that she would beat Kudo to death with her sword.

But Fujino...

If we tell Fujino, he will definitely be able to help a lot.

But Haibara Ai didn't dare to say it.

The reason is similar to Conan.

An eighteen-year-old girl pretending to be a little girl or something, thinking about how I used to pretend to be a child...

Haibara Ai felt that if she told this out loud, she would be socially disgraced and would not be able to face anyone in the future.

…………

On the other side, after dinner, Fujino returned to his room.

[It has been detected that the system task has been completed. 5 detective coins, 500 million yen, and 500 detective reputation have been issued. ]

【Current Japanese Yen Balance: 2 Million Yen】

[Detective Coins: 5]

[Main occupation detective reputation: 7800|10000]

[Free experience allocation: 4000...

After confirming that the system task was completed, he suddenly heard a system notification sound from his phone. He turned on his phone and found that it was from QICQ.

Anonymous user B (Vermouth): "My operation is about to begin. The organization wants me to take full responsibility for Kiel's affairs. I came here to tell you."

Fujino thought about it and immediately understood that Vermouth was starting to look for Mizunashi Rena and then trigger the FBI's plot of Akai Shuichi's fake death.

After thinking for a while, he typed a message on his phone:
Anonymous User A (Fujino): "So, where do you plan to start?"

Anonymous user B: "Rather than saying I've bought it, I've already found out some things."

Anonymous User A: “What did you find out?”

Anonymous user B: "Kil may have been sent to the hospital by the FBI. Now it's just a matter of time to find her."

"But you should have known about this kind of thing a long time ago, right?"

Fujino looked at the message sent by old aunt Vermouth on his phone, narrowed his eyes, and changed the subject: "So, how did you arrange your personnel this time? Is there GIN?"

"It seems like he knows everything about the FBI..."

In the presidential suite of a high-end apartment, Vermouth was sitting on the windowsill, holding a bottle of red nail polish in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.

She looked at the text message that changed the subject, touched her chin, and replied: "GIN will not be involved in this matter. He was seriously injured by you and is temporarily unable to carry out such a high-intensity mission. He has now gone abroad to recuperate and will not be back in the short term."

"He went abroad to recuperate. It seems that this guy will not appear in Japan for the time being?" Fujino felt a little regretful and asked, "What about Chianti and Cohen? I think they both had one leg and one hand broken by me last time. Are they not participating in the operation?"

Vermouth teased: "You still care about them... Don't forget who broke their legs and arms."

Fujino showed dead fish eyes: "How dare you say that? It's you who asked me to destroy them, right?"

"If I don't destroy them, can you win their hearts?"

Vermouth replied calmly: "You are wrong. I have not destroyed them. At most, I have reduced their combat effectiveness."

"Well, this old lady really has double standards."

Fujino showed dead fish eyes and couldn't help but complain, then continued: "Yes, yes, let them, a one-armed man and a wheelchair user, run to snipe others... Your organization is really good at exploiting the labor force, even the disabled are not spared."

"They are not disabled yet, so don't talk nonsense."

Vermouth opened the cap of the nail polish and explained calmly, "The organization's medical technology is very mature, and cloning and regeneration technology has been fully developed. It will probably not take long for them to find a transplant method that will allow them to 'regenerate severed limbs'... but they can't use it for the time being."

"In addition to regenerating short limbs, the organization has also conducted some research on prosthetics. They have already replaced their limbs with prosthetics for rehabilitation training. Although they cannot be controlled as freely as real hands, it does not affect the combat effectiveness of the two snipers."

Fujino looked at the message sent by Vermouth and was not too surprised.

The main work of the winery is still to develop anti-aging drugs such as APTX4869.

Strictly speaking, a winery should be called a pharmaceutical factory.

In addition to normal medicine, the winery will certainly also conduct research in other aspects, such as research on immortality and rejuvenation.

After all, medicine, chemistry, and biology will always be inseparable.

For example, this old lady, whose age is unknown but still looks like she is in her twenties or thirties.

There are some unknown technologies and hard work.

After thinking for a while, Fujino asked, "So, the two of them are also going to participate in the operation to rescue Private Keel this time?"

"I don't know that."

There was a sense of helplessness in Vermouth's words. She used a small brush to gently wipe her fingernails: "As for the action, it depends on the boss's mood."

"Although I am currently in charge of Japan, and the boss has given me full authority over this matter."

"But I can't interfere with the selection of personnel."

"After all, the boss is very concerned about this matter."

"Just in case, the personnel this time are all selected by the boss himself."

Vermouth stretched out her feet, flexed her toes, admired them, and then said, "You may not know, but the boss really likes Gil."

Fujino also tried to ask: "Why, are you jealous?"

Vermouth also started practicing Tai Chi: "How is it possible? The reason why the boss likes Gil is just because she is a talent."

"She was once captured by a traitor in the organization. Logically, there was no hope for her, but she managed to fight back in the end. The most terrifying thing was that she bit off the wrist of the person who threatened and bribed her with her own teeth, snatched the gun, and shot the person in the head."

"Although I am skeptical about this, the boss is particularly fond of this kind of alternative lunatic..."

Vermouth's message was silent for a moment, and then she continued, "Anyway, because of her loyalty to the organization, the boss is not worried that she has betrayed the organization."

There was a hint of helplessness in her words: "After all, this is a woman who was once fed truth serum and had her limbs broken, but she didn't even make a sound until her ribs were broken."

"As for manpower...even though I can't interfere, I'm sure there will be one person who will be involved this time."

"who?"

Fujino couldn't help but send a message asking curiously.

Vermouth quickly replied: "In Tokyo, the work of gathering intelligence is actually done by another person."

"Come to think of it, I have taken away some of his work."

"Originally, these should have been done by him. After all, intelligence gathering is his strong point."

Fujino asked: "Code name?"

Vermouth quickly replied: "Bourbon."

"Bourbon, Touko..."

When Fujino saw the code name Bourbon, he immediately thought of the black-skinned guy.

Besides being Toru Amuro, he is also the Japanese Public Security Force Furuya Rei and a member of the brewery's loyal organization, Bourbon.

After thinking for a while, Fujino raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Bourbon, this is not surprising. That black guy once came over to observe me for a while, but fortunately he didn't do anything to me."

"I guess if he had attacked you, he wouldn't be alive now, right?"

Vermouth looked at the contents of the text message and shook her head slightly.

In her opinion, this kid Fujino was too outrageous.

In her impression, Gin is the kind of fighter who can single-handedly destroy an entire gang. He is a super ruthless person who can fight his way back to the organization even after being shot several times, blown away, and stabbed dozens of times.

But such a ruthless man would immediately wilted in front of this kid Fujino.

Every time Gin touches the other person, he becomes extremely miserable and gets a fatal scar on his body.

If it weren't for the organization's superior medical level and Gin's usual tough life, I'm afraid that Gin would have been beaten to death countless times by Fujino.
