The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1282 Her true gender was discovered by a classmate...

"..."

Everyone stared at Kogoro Mouri, who was holding a beer and had just taken a big gulp after speaking, and they were all a little unsure of what to say.

Isn't this just hindsight?

"Na na!"

Just then, Conan suddenly raised his little hand: "I don't think Mr. Takeuchi was killed by suicide?"

"what?"

Kogoro Mouri looked at the brat who always contradicted him with a speechless expression, and said irritably, "Then tell me, besides this reason, what other reason do you have?"

"Well..."

Conan first touched his chin, then realized that he couldn't perform on the spot, but performing afterward would be fine.

The main thing is to show off in front of Fujino.

So he said, "I think it's possible that Mr. Takeuchi blackmailed Mrs. Takeuchi, which is why she killed him in a fit of rage!"

"what?"

Despite Kogoro Mouri's puzzled expression, Conan confidently explained, "Uncle Mouri, you said the shop owner said he could go abroad and live a carefree life after the divorce, right?"

"yes……"

"That's very simple!"

Conan continued, arms crossed, "Fujino-nii said that he called Prosecutor Kujo, and I think he called Prosecutor Kujo to discuss the company's previous illegal activities."

"Presumably, Mrs. Takeuchi must have promised Mr. Takeuchi benefits, such as a divorce or money, to take the blame for the hit-and-run incident."

"After taking the blame, Mr. Takeuchi discovered that Prosecutor Kujo still had no intention of giving up on the matter from back then, and then he had the idea of ​​using this matter to blackmail someone."

"Judging from the fact that he is about to go abroad to enjoy himself, he definitely wants to return the hit-and-run incident to Mrs. Takeuchi after he has extorted this money."

"However, right after he blackmailed Mrs. Takeuchi, she had already planned a murder and killed him."

At this point, Conan raised his head and said, "The real reason for the murder must be that Takeuchi was killed by the lady after his extortion attempt failed."

"So this is ah!"

Ran listened to Conan's explanation and looked like she suddenly understood.

Conan, on the other hand, looked smug and confident.

Eri Kisaki couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you come up with all this?"

"..."

Conan paused for a moment upon hearing this, having completely forgotten that his childhood sweetheart and mother were still present.

His brain raced, and he immediately put on a childlike smile again: "It's nothing, I just thought about how Uncle Mori, Fujino-nii, and Kudo-nii usually think, and then I figured it out!"

"is it?"

Eri touched her chin, feeling a sense of resemblance to someone from her memory, "Just like that brat from the Kudo family."

Ran, who had already tested it many times but still hadn't gotten a result with one hand, nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Conan is indeed quite smart, after all, he's a relative."

"..." Fujino gave Conan a deadpan look, sipping his miso soup and glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.

He thought to himself, "Yeah, they really are relatives. They're so close they couldn't be closer. Even brothers aren't necessarily this close. Their DNA and blood relation are exactly the same. Who else could they be related to?"

"His father might not even be as close to him as he is to himself."

…………

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, did Senior go out today?"

"Yuanzi, you..."

The next day, Ran stood in front of the window of the Mouri Detective Agency.

Ran Mouri watched Fujino drive away with Eisuke Hondo, and said helplessly to her best friend on the phone, "Senpai must have his own things to do. Let's not bother him any longer. What if he sees something else?"

"Aren't we going to see Xiaoxuan today?"

"All right……"

Thinking about her good friend waiting for surgery in the hospital, Yuanzi weighed the pros and cons and felt that she couldn't be too biased, so she absentmindedly agreed.

Then, the two of them brought Conan to the Ximi Flower Hospital.

Nanakawa Aya was having a very good time in the hospital.

Ran and Sonoko were worried when they arrived, but their worries vanished as soon as they saw each other's carefree smiles.

Instead, I was a little speechless.

Leaving the hospital, Sonoko couldn't help but sigh, her voice tinged with resentment: "That Aya, she really went too far!"

"This doesn't look like someone who's sick at all!"

"When we entered the ward, before we even asked about her condition, she immediately told the two of us to sneak out and buy her a cake and ice cream!"

"We worried for nothing!"

"I think she didn't come here to be hospitalized, she came here to enjoy a life of luxury!"

Xiao Lan, standing nearby, looked at her best friend's complaining expression and felt helpless.
"Alright, Sonoko, at least she looks perfectly fine and energetic, and that's just how optimistic she is..."

"Indeed, no one can beat this kid when it comes to silly laughter."

Sonoko sighed, quite agreeing with this. Then, she continued, "By the way, what exactly did Senpai and Hondou go off to do? And who exactly is that girl? We still don't know..."

Xiaolan smiled helplessly: "Yuanzi, don't worry about this, okay? If you keep worrying about this and that, you'll end up with wrinkles and look like a haggard old woman tomorrow."

"Huh?" Sonoko glanced at her best friend, feeling a bit strange, as if this was supposed to be her word.

Conan perked up his ears, his curiosity piqued: "Hey, Ran-neechan, what's going on with Fujino-nii and the girl?"

"Well..."

Ran hesitated for a moment, then said in a low, indistinct voice, "That's right, that day Sonoko and I saw Fujino-senpai driving a car with a girl to the hospital."

"Ok?"

Conan frowned, somewhat confused.

So, what's wrong with taking a girl to the hospital...?

Why such a strong reaction?

Something's not right. Something's definitely not right.

If Fujino hadn't done something truly outrageous, they wouldn't have reacted like this...

I need to get some information out of him quickly, and then talk to Haibara!

Conan, sensing something was amiss, asked, "What kind of hospital is it?"

Why are you asking so many questions?

Sonoko glanced at Conan, feeling that the little rascal had just too many things he was curious about.

The fact that Ran and I were secretly following Fujino-senpai was embarrassing enough.

If this kid finds out and passes it on to his seniors, what good will that do?
Wouldn't that be awkward if it was a misunderstanding?
With that in mind, she changed the subject, saying, "Never mind that, I heard there's a new burger joint that just opened up here, let's go get some!"

"Little rascal, are you hungry too?" "I'm not hungry..."

"You're lying, you're definitely hungry!"

Sonoko and Conan started arguing, and Ran, who was standing next to them, felt a little out of place with the two of them.

Xiaolan awkwardly wanted to break off her relationship with these two.

Then I looked up and saw a familiar figure.

She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Huh?!"

Her noise drew the attention of both of them.

Looking over, Sonoko saw a girl with short hair, a cute appearance, wearing a white shirt and a black long skirt, asking a doctor something.

She couldn't hide her feelings at all, so she pointed directly at the girl and shouted, "It's that girl from that day!"

“…?” Upon hearing this, Hondou Sakurako turned around and saw a familiar face, falling silent.

What should I do if my female classmate sees me dressed as a woman and recognizes me?
Waiting online is urgent!

Hondou Sakurako was in a rather awkward situation, so she turned around and ran away.

Why not run away? Are you just waiting for your female classmate to expose your identity and then you'll be so embarrassed?!

Then, being naturally clumsy, he fell to the ground, almost exposing himself under his long skirt, but thankfully he didn't.

Xiaolan: "..."

Yuanzi: "..."

Could this be the legendary naturally dazed body that accidentally exposes itself?

Xiao Lan couldn't help but step forward and ask softly, "Um, are you alright?"

"No...it's okay..."

"Forehead?"

Xiao Lan was stunned when she saw the girl in front of her who didn't dare to look at her.

For some inexplicable reason, she felt that she had seen this voice and face somewhere before.

Such a familiar feeling.

But why can't I remember?
Sonoko, who was standing nearby, had a sharper eye and vaguely recognized a figure. Without thinking, she immediately exclaimed, "Isn't that Hondou?"

"what?"

Xiaolan was completely stunned, her eyes wide with disbelief at what she had just heard and what her best friend had said.

She looked at the girl in front of her, and then thought about what Hondo Eisuke looked like in her memory.

This doesn't look like it at all!

Besides, isn't this a girl?
You mean Yingyou? Isn't that a boy?
How can these two be related?
Both of them fell into deep thought, shock, and surprise. Ran was deep in thought and shocked, while Sonoko was surprised.

Conan twitched his eyebrows. Looking at the cross-dressing version of Hondo Eisuke, Hondo Sakurako already knew which damned, heartless bastard had done this.

He sighed, feeling that the world had gained another victim of some heartless bastard, and that he had gained another companion.

But a quick glance revealed a photograph on the ground.

I picked it up; it had a picture of Rena Mizunashi on it.

Upon seeing this, Conan frowned, but he no longer showed the shock he usually did.

He immediately understood why Hondou Eisuke had transferred here.

So he quietly shoved the photo into his pocket.

On the other side, seeing that he had been exposed, Hondo Eisuke was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury his head in it like an ostrich.

Unfortunately, the hospital floor was all tiled, so it was impossible to dig it up.

Left with no other choice, he had to call Xiaolan and Yuanzi away to prevent them from causing any further embarrassment in the hospital.

As for my feelings, I feel like I want to die.

…………

Outside the hospital, Hondo Eisuke brought Ran and Sonoko out.

Fujino saw the group of people as soon as he approached, greeted them, and joked:

"Sakurako Hondou, you were seen through by those two so quickly?"

"There was nothing I could do; they called my name as soon as they came up."

Hondo Eisuke, who resembled Hondo Sakurako, looked helpless and said: "Who can defend against this zero-frame start?"
Fujino felt a bit tired, took a deep breath, and complained, "Can't you be a little more stubborn? When someone calls you, just be stubborn and say you're Hondo Sakurako, that's all. Don't make up any nonsense about being from the Hondo family, or calling yourself an older sister or younger sister, just throw it all out there. It's not like you'll lose two pounds!"

"I'm so disappointed in you..."

Hondou Sakurako lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Sonoko and Ran, standing nearby, were speechless with shock.

They even have names for female states now?!
What kind of weird play is this?
Wait, how come he's so skilled?
Fujino didn't say much to the group of people with their various expressions, and left with a few others.

Hondou Eisuke sat in the passenger seat, still dressed as a woman, while Ran and Sonoko sat in the back, their expressions unusually awkward.

They had already realized that the girl was Hondo Eisuke in disguise.

The two women simply couldn't believe that the girl in front of them was actually a man.

But the facts are right in front of us, and there's nothing more to say.

The two of them felt it was a bit outrageous.

Xiao Lan was completely shocked. Her small eyes widened and her mouth remained open in utter astonishment.

How did a perfectly normal male high school student turn into a female high school student?
Why is Hondou Eisuke dressed as a woman? Why is he dressed as a woman, and why is he dressed as a woman and coming out with Fujino-senpai...?

Could it be some kind of weird shoujo manga plot?
Sonoko thought of this and shivered. Then she looked at Hondo Eisuke, who was blushing, with a complicated expression.

But looking closely, you have to admit, the disguise is quite good-looking.

After taking Hondo Eisuke to the men's restroom in a nearby park and changing back into men's clothing, Hondo Eisuke, now in his true form, got back into the car and, led by Sonoko, headed to a nearby hamburger joint.

Sitting by the window in the hamburger joint, Hondo Eisuke began to explain the whole story:

“I transferred here to find my family, but I haven’t been able to find them for a long time.”

"Then, Detective Fujino saw through my intentions, and then he suggested that I conceal my identity to find my family..."

"Oh, I see!" The two nodded in understanding.

Anyway, whether you understand it or not, understanding it is enough.

Conan, who was sitting quietly next to Fujino, secretly cursed inwardly as he watched Fujino's leisurely demeanor, having already anticipated this.

Anyone capable of doing this doesn't need to think, they don't even need to guess who the real culprit is!
In Tokyo, apart from Fujino, you really can't find another old man like him who would do something like this!

Thinking back to the beautiful older sister Hondo Sakurako, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret: another beautiful and innocent girl in this world has been defiled by this guy Fujino!

[I'm taking my driving test (Part 2) tomorrow. Good luck passing on the first try!]
