The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1289: The Power of Deduction and Suppressive Force!

Ai Haibara originally intended to make a joke about seriously injuring someone and then sending them to the hospital to confirm their blood type, but she didn't expect that Hakiko would steal her line.

However, compared to his own teasing, it seems that Hakiko really wants to kick a football up and seriously injure Hondo Eisuke.
What is Hakiko thinking?

What deep-seated hatred could there be?

Ai Haibara considered the power of Conan's power-enhancing shoes and estimated that with one kick, that guy named Hondo Eisuke wouldn't even need a blood type test; he'd be sent straight to the morgue on the spot.

At this moment, Conan said speechlessly, "What I need is Hondo Eisuke's blood type. Can we get it from the FBI?"

Ai Haibara then spoke calmly: "I'm talking about Rena Mizunashi and Eisuke Hondo lying."

"If we first determine Mizunashi Rena's blood type, then we can determine whether she is type AB, then we can determine whether Mizunashi Rena is lying, and then verify whether Hondo Eisuke is lying, right?"

"What if Rena Mizunashi was lying back then?"

"..." Reminded by the gray cat, Conan fell silent on the spot. After a brief silence, he gave her a look that seemed to say: Do I look like an idiot to you?

I'm a detective, and I didn't even think of that? Am I the detective or are you the detective?
She's just a nerdy science nerd named Ai Haibara!

Hachiko certainly felt offended.

With this interruption, I don't know what to say anymore!
Conan thought this to himself, but as for saying it aloud...

Of course I wouldn't dare.

Although Haibara seems harmless now, she doesn't hold back at all when she's being sarcastic.

Haibara, still drooping like a lazy cat, already understood what the other was thinking.

She secretly thought to herself, "I guess he reacted so strongly because I interrupted him."

"After all, he mentioned it casually at school, and it seems like he didn't intend to discuss it with me when he came over. He was just talking to himself and didn't listen to what I was saying at all."

"Simply put, it's about flaunting one's values."

"Yeah, I guess he's been suppressed by Fujino for too long, so Deduction Xuan is a bit repressed and can only release it by coming to me now."

"It's like a child who lacked love growing up. When the child who has earned money comes home and brags to his parents, but doesn't receive positive feedback, he feels uncomfortable and upset, so he can only seek some comfort from the mature wife next door."

"This mentality is just like that of a child."

Haibara sighed, rubbing her temples. She felt exhausted. "Taking care of children is one thing, but sometimes I have to take care of adults who turn into children...sigh..."

Grey's mother is often troubled by the fact that the detective who shrank with her looks like a child but is actually an adult, yet is ultimately a child.

Fortunately, with more experience, she has developed ways to deal with such situations.

So he coaxed her, "So, what are your thoughts now?"

As expected, Conan's expression immediately softened, and he continued his reasoning seriously: "We definitely need to determine Mizunashi Rena's blood type from the FBI, but the most important thing is still Hondo Eisuke's side."

"After all, even if Mizunashi Rena's blood type is confirmed, Hondo Eisuke's blood type is still a mystery."

"It's just what he said, that he's type O. It's only one side of the story. It's still uncertain whether he's type O or type AB."

"There are too many mysteries surrounding this kid, even more than with Rena Mizunashi. Rena Mizunashi's situation is relatively simple, like you said, it's just a matter of a phone call. But Eisuke Hondo is a much more difficult one to deal with..."

"This kid seems honest and simple, but who knows how many tricks he has up his sleeve."

Ai Haibara shook her head slightly: "But I don't think things are that complicated."

Conan looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean it's unnecessary?"

Ai Haibara said calmly, "Given the current situation, we should just confirm Rena Mizunashi's blood type and proceed step by step. We'll consider other matters after we've confirmed them."

You're overthinking it.

"That's true."

Conan nodded upon hearing this, agreeing with Ai Haibara's assessment, and then immediately called Jodie to ask her about it.

In other words, he went to Japan to investigate his father's murder, became an English teacher, and then resigned to return to his job as an FBI agent.

The call was quickly connected. Although Jodie didn't know that Conan's true identity was Shinichi Kudo, as an FBI agent, she decided to make use of this seemingly intelligent kid.

Conan quickly explained the situation.

Judy responded directly, "It's alright, the hospital has already been arranged by our people. Very few nurses even know she's staying here, but her brother..."

Conan: "He's not my brother, because our blood types are completely different."

Judy: "What do you mean?"

Conan briefly explained his reasoning.

Judy: "I see. So, although they look alike, their experiences are quite different?"

Conan: "That's how it is... But when you're paying attention, you should also keep an eye on the girls, especially those who seem a little off... It's best to look at the corners of their eyes."

Judy: "What do you mean? Isn't it a younger brother? Or do you have a younger sister?"

Conan: "No, what I mean is, Fujino dressed him up as a girl, and he looks almost exactly like one. Maybe he'll dress up as a girl too if we go to your hospital."

Judy: "...?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Is cross-dressing really this perverted?
America is already free enough, but things like women's clothing...

Well, Japan is a pretty weird place, to be honest.

It's just that it doesn't have the freedom of America.

However, she, who rarely comes into contact with the LGBT community, still felt that this kind of thing was a bit of a worldview-shaking and outrageous thing.

After regaining her composure, she replied, "We will be on guard."

Conan then spoke up, "Besides that, I also think that this guy's search for his sister might be a conspiracy."

Judy: "What do you mean?"

Conan: "I suspect that the guys in black had his sister undergo plastic surgery to look like Rena Mizunashi when he went to see her. As for the purpose... it should be for his father. I don't know the specifics, but I do know that the guy's father is a member of Company."

Judy: "Company?"

Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

It took me a moment to realize that the code name was CIA.

Then I was completely dumbfounded.

"Damn it, we've run into the CIA!"

The common perception is that the FBI operates internally while the CIA operates externally.

However, this is where the bug appears when dealing with transnational criminals.

Both domestic and international matters are involved, and their responsibilities overlap, so naturally their powers also overlap, leading to frequent clashes between the CIA and FBI, who oversee both sides.

The two sides are not affiliated with the same organization, so when they meet, neither side is willing to submit to the other. However, because the CIA is directly under the National Security Council of the US President, it is not required to abide by the law to a certain extent, making it far more adept at disregarding military ethics. Therefore, the FBI has consistently been the one to suffer losses when facing the CIA.

Judy works for the FBI, and the FBI and the CIA are currently at odds.

In her opinion, if this case involved the CIA, they would have to send them all back to free America immediately.

To put it bluntly, their current actions are all illegal law enforcement, all relying on the backing of the FBI and the United States to suppress Japan.

Otherwise, if it were an eastern country, and an FBI agent were causing trouble in our country, wouldn't that be disregarding our national sovereignty?
It's already a miracle if the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't send special forces to arrest you, treat you as a spy, and give you a severe memory restoration spell.

Conan naturally understood how nervous the other person was, and comforted him, "There's no need to be too nervous right now. This is just my speculation, not actual information."

Judy took a deep breath: "Besides this, is there any other intelligence?"

Conan: "Um, and also, I'd like you to tell me Rena Mizunashi's blood type."

Judy: "RH+ positive, AB type."

"I understand."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Conan hung up the phone immediately.

Seeing this, Ai Haibara, who was on the phone next to them, whispered and asked, "By the way, aren't you being a little mysterious?"

Conan looked puzzled: "What do you mean by 'making things mysterious'?"

Ai Haibara retorted, "So, why can't we just say CIA for things like 'Company'?"

"Are you afraid someone is eavesdropping?"

"If they were eavesdropping, they would definitely find out..."

Conan: "..."

If I don't mention "Company," how will it make me seem like I've done thorough research? How will it make me seem sophisticated?
Do you know how to use secret codes to show off?
Haibara didn't say anything more, but she already understood.

After secretly marveling at how this guy was indeed a delusional brat, he asked, "So, what was the result?"

“Type AB, just like I saw on TV before.” Conan said, pulling himself out of his thoughts, and muttered, “It seems I was right after all. Rena Mizunashi is fine, the problem lies with Eisuke Hondo…”

At this point, his tone became serious: "So in the end, we still need to find out Hondo Eisuke's blood type!"

Staring at Conan, Haibara didn't know what he was so serious about, but she shook her head slightly and said calmly, "I think it's very likely that the two of them are siblings."

Conan asked, puzzled, "What do you mean? According to the current understanding, Hondo Eisuke claims to be blood type O, and Mizunashi Rena is blood type AB. They can't possibly be siblings."

Ai Haibara spoke calmly, then countered with, "Then what is the real reason you suspect that Eisuke Hondou isn't Rena Mizunashi's brother?"

"Of course it's because of different blood types!" Conan continued. "If we combine the reasoning, then it's very likely that Rena Mizunashi was a card played by the organization to deal with the Hondo family, and that she disguised herself and had plastic surgery to look like Rena Mizunashi."

"I see." Ai Haibara nodded. "Then what is the organization's purpose in impersonating Rena Mizunashi?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that either."

Conan shook his head. "However, I think it's very likely that Hondo's father is a CIA agent, and her sister is also very likely to be a CIA agent. It's highly probable that they both infiltrated the organization, were discovered by the organization, and then the organization played a spy within a spy game, disguising others as Rena Mizunashi in order to achieve some kind of goal."

"After all, the organization has a woman like Vermouth who can impersonate other people's voices."

"And this time, it's possible that the organization deliberately leaked information to Hondo Eisuke, using him as a tool to find Mizunashi Rena, who is being held captive by the FBI!"

Haibara Ai:"……"

Why does this child seem so dull and slow?

Are there people with even more severe organizational persecution paranoia than me?
Why would the organization need to find Rena Mizunashi in this way?
If you wanted to find it, you probably would have found it long ago...

As for using Hondou Eisuke to find Mizunashi Rena, that's just a joke.

Ai Haibara, who understands the organization, thought this way, but seeing Conan getting more and more excited as he spoke, she couldn't bring herself to refute him.

Yes, that's what makes mystery and deduction so oppressive.

If I offend this kid, then I'll have to appease him again.
Then, a faint smile appeared on Gray's face: "Yes, you're right."

“…?” Conan looked at Ai Haibara in front of him, feeling that something was not right.

Why does it feel like Ai Haibara is looking down on me?

Just then, Genta's voice came: "Hey, Conan, what are you whispering to Ai Haibara over there?"

Ai Haibara turned around and saw her three little cubs.

So she said casually, "We were just talking about Professor Agasa taking us camping this weekend, and I was wondering if I should let Fujino come along on the trip too."

"Of course we'll bring Fujino-nii-san along!"

Upon hearing this, Ayumi immediately smiled happily and said, "Ai-chan and Fujino-nii-san cook really well, much better than Professor Agasa!"

“That’s right!” Mitsuhiko, who was following behind, couldn’t help but agree: “If it weren’t for Haibara-san and Fujino-nii-san, we would probably only be able to eat heated canned food.”

Genta, as always, couldn't help but complain, "Dr. Agasa can even make a can explode from the heat, you know?"

Ai Haibara looked at the little ones in front of her and nodded slightly. She was quite happy that her cooking skills had earned the cubs' approval.

Since that's what they've said, I guess I'll have to take these kids out with me this weekend, along with Fujino.

A popular family trip.

…………

After school, at Teitan High School.

The Teitan trio became the Teitan quartet, with the addition of Hondo Eisuke.

He looked at Hondo Eisuke, who was planning to go out with Fujino.

Ran and Sonoko, the classic duo, have caught our attention.

Xiao Lan asked curiously, "Ying You, are you going to see your sister?"

"Ah."

Hondou Eisuke nodded in agreement, saying, "Although we've confirmed that Mizunashi Rena isn't my sister, we should still keep looking, just in case we find her."

Of course, he wasn't telling the truth.

He was going to the hospital to see Rena Mizunashi, but he couldn't tell them.

What if my sister really is in danger?

If I told them the truth, wouldn't that harm them?

Hondo Eisuke thinks both of them are good girls.

Xiao Lan, in particular, looks quite like her older sister, giving him a feeling of first love.
