The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1344 FBI Loyal Dog Corgi
Ai Haibara was unaware of Ethan Hondou's situation.

Despite being an official in the organization, she was merely a researcher within it.

Researchers don't participate in organized operations; what they might hear is mostly through rumors or when contact is needed for the mission...

Otherwise, she would definitely be able to recognize Shuichi Akai, instead of just having an impression of him based on the fact that her sister had mentioned him a few times.

Clearly, Ethan Bentang has absolutely no connection with her.

However, based on the current information, she felt a little sorry for the Hondo family.

If the information she currently possesses is indeed that Mizunashi Rena is Hondo Eisuke's older sister, then the information that the FBI agent posing as an English teacher just mentioned is entirely different.

A father and daughter, both undercover agents, didn't want to implicate their daughter. The father shot himself to secure a position for his daughter within the organization...

That's a really pathetic way to think.

Therefore, before things become clear, Ai Haibara is more inclined to undergo plastic surgery to disguise herself and then interrogate Ethan Hondou about how much intelligence he has obtained from the organization.

"Based on our speculation, the current Mizunashi Rena may be a member of the organization that killed the real Mizunashi Rena and then impersonated Hondou Ethan's daughter."

"Unfortunately, we can no longer contact Hondo Eisuke, otherwise we were planning to ask him about his father and sister."

Jodie was still unaware of Conan and Ai Haibara's information. At this moment, she could only sigh, feeling a little regretful about Rena Mizunashi's identity.

However, it's just a pity.

Once Mizunashi Rena wakes up, the truth will be revealed.

In contrast, Conan was much more agitated.

He yelled at Judy, "Ms. Judy, are you sure that Eisuke Hondou went to the hospital a few days ago?"

"That's right, I heard the nurse say that."

"That would be terrible!"

"What's wrong?"

Judy was puzzled when she heard this.

Conan then said seriously, "Eisuke Hondo has been looking for his sister, going from hospital to hospital with her photo. But after he found the hospital where you are, he disappeared."

"Isn't it clear what this means?!"

Judy was taken aback: "You mean, someone has already infiltrated the hospital?"

Conan nodded firmly and replied, "Thinking about it that way, it's very possible that Hondo Eisuke has already been kidnapped, or even killed."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Ms. Judy, take me to the hospital right away!"

"Oh……"

Just realizing what was happening, Jodie responded and then glanced at Ai Haibara behind her.

The gray cat was puzzled for a moment, then felt a little speechless.

By the way, FBI agent, you should know that the organization is after me.

Do you still need to take me to the hospital?

After internally complaining for a moment, she said calmly, "I won't go. I won't be of any help, and I might even get recognized. You guys go ahead."

"Oh!"

"Ugh……"

Watching Conan and FBI agent Jodie leave, Ai Haibara couldn't help but sigh, inwardly complaining:
"So, how can Edogawa trust the FBI so much?"

"Don't you know that all intelligence organizations are untrustworthy?"

"You're just a primary school student, hanging around with the FBI, that's really weird..."

"You talk about hiding your identity, is this your method of hiding your identity?"

Ai Haibara was speechless for a moment, not understanding why this corgi was so dedicated to the FBI's affairs.

Honestly, he's like a loyal dog.

Do you really think people will become your partners just because you're exceptionally capable?

At most, they'll use you and then just throw you away.

It's better to rely on Fujino than on them...

Ai Haibara has an innate prejudice against the FBI and the like.

…………

Beika Central Hospital, Sakura Hondo's ward.

"Brother Fujino, may I investigate now?!"

"It's really uncomfortable to be lying in the hospital room all the time..."

Hondo Eisuke, disguised as Hondo Sakurako, lies in a hospital bed, complaining to Fujino.

Fujino pondered for a moment and then said, "Yes, an investigation can be conducted."

"However, there's something I'm curious about."

Where did you get this outfit?

Fujino glanced at Hondo Eisuke, who had changed into a white gauze top, a black long skirt, and had long black hair, and even a new pair of glasses, and asked him suspiciously.

Hondou Eisuke blushed with embarrassment: "Since I've been here once before, I naturally need to change my clothes to conceal my identity this time..."

"What if someone comes under a false identity and gets recognized? Wouldn't that be terrible?"

Fujino: "..."

So you're the chubby teapot that's blushing?
It's just women's clothing, isn't it?

You've dressed as a woman so many times, what else is there to be ashamed of?

He thought to himself that he was complaining, but he really had nothing to say to Hondo Eisuke's explanation.

It's pretty...normal and professional?

This kid truly lives up to his CIA family background.

You do have talent, huh...

He thought about it for a moment, then glanced at Hondou Sakurako, who looked so eager, and nodded: "Okay, go investigate, but be careful not to get caught."

"After all, I always felt that there were some suspicious people in this hospital."

"Could they be accomplices of the group that kidnapped my sister?" Hondo Eisuke wondered for a moment before voicing his thoughts.

"I don't know, just be careful in everything you do, and don't admit it if you are recognized. Just come find me as soon as possible."

"I see!"

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Fujino suddenly brought it up again: "When you have time, call Ran. She can't get through to you and has been looking for you anxiously."

"Mouri-kun, were you looking for me?"

Hondo Eisuke paused for a moment, his expression strange, but he was deeply moved.

They actually care about me this much...

Could it be that she likes me?
Fujino immediately saw through the teenage chef's thoughts, which were triggering the three great illusions of life, and directly interrupted his boundless daydreaming: "The writing ceremony at the school was canceled. The teacher couldn't contact you, so she asked her to contact you, but she couldn't get through to you on the phone. She thought you had been kidnapped by some terrible organization."

"That's it..."

Hondo Eisuke nodded upon hearing this, feeling a deep sense of regret.

Then, he turned to Fujino and asked, "How am I supposed to explain this?"

Fujino thought for a moment after hearing this, and smiled slightly: "Just say that you discovered your father's colleague and that you are currently working with him, which is why it is inconvenient for you to answer the phone."

"I understand."

Having prepared Hondo Eisuke mentally, Fujino left the ward and returned to his office. "Went to visit the young wife again?"

Upon returning, Vermouth teased Fujino after seeing him, "You seem to be a little too concerned about that young married woman, don't you?"

"It was just a briefing on some important points."

Seeing Fujino's slightly downcast expression, Vermouth didn't continue the topic. Instead, she walked over slowly, lowered her voice, and said softly, "Bourbon has found the room where our little princess is being held by the evil dragon."

"It's in the ward at the very end of the third floor."

When do we begin our operation?

When asked for the elderly woman's opinion, Fujino replied, "Aren't you the commander-in-chief of this operation? Why are you asking me when the operation will take place?"

"Of course, it's so as not to interfere with your plans..." the old lady smiled slightly. "If I accidentally disturb your plans, it would be troublesome if you were unhappy."

"..."

Fujino felt a mix of emotions as he looked at the old lady's expression.

Auntie, could you please not do that...?

It is indeed very beautiful.

But for some reason, I feel a little nauseous!
He sighed helplessly and finally thought, "As for action, there's no need for now. The FBI is still only suspicious of us, and the person who took the blame hasn't shown any signs yet. The timing isn't good for action."

"So, what has Kusuda Rikumichi been doing all this time while he's been in the hospital?"

"That guy..."

Vermouth pondered for a moment, then helplessly shrugged: "I'm not quite sure what that guy is doing either."

"what?"

“After you brought him to the hospital, I didn’t take care of him anymore.”

Our elderly aunt explained, "This guy wasn't even in the plan."

"What if we do something and he finds out and tells on us? That would be terrible!"

As she spoke, she chuckled softly, "It would be better to wait until the time comes to use him and just let him become a muddle-headed fool."

Fujino nodded upon hearing this, understanding the old lady's thoughts.

To put it bluntly, Kusuda Rikudo is a walking BOSS surveillance camera.

Anything that happens will probably have to be reported to the boss.

It would be better to let him die in a daze.

At this moment, the old lady suddenly spoke up again: "You deal with this guy, I'll deal with him?"

Upon hearing this, Fujino glanced at the old woman and immediately understood what she meant.

That is, Kusuda Rikumichi must die.

So in the end, whether they are caught by the FBI or return safely to their unit, they will die.

But to kill him, someone needs to do it...

Fujino looked at the old woman and asked, "What reason could someone like him possibly have to die?"

Vermouth sighed: "I'll do it. It's really troublesome to ask someone like you to kill someone."

"Then you can do it." Fujino nodded. "It just so happens that you won't have any more scenes in the subsequent plans."

"Yes, yes, yes, great screenwriter."

…………

“That child did come. At the time, I was wondering why he was dressed as a woman, and whether I had mistaken him for someone else…”

"Come to think of it, I feel like I've seen that child before."

"Seen?"

"Yes, I think I saw him when I was having surgery. I happened to be a nurse at that hospital at the time!"

"That hospital... is it a hospital in Osaka?"

"No... I remember it was a hospital in Tokyo."

"Do you remember what type of surgery it was?"

"I remember it was leukemia..."

"Thank you, Nurse Auntie."

Upon arriving at Beika Hospital, Conan tried to get information out of the nurse who had treated Hondo Eisuke. However, as he tried to get information out of her, a shocking secret was revealed.

Realizing that his suspicions had become a reality, Conan gritted his teeth: "Damn it, it's actually true!"

"leukemia?"

After the nurse left, Judy couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything strange about this?"

"Because a blood cell transplant for leukemia can change blood type," Conan said in a deep voice. "If that's the case, then we can be certain about their relationship."

"Nani?!"

Judy was taken aback: "So, does that mean she is...?"

"Ahem."

James Black coughed lightly. "Let's go somewhere quieter to talk about this."

"it is good……"

Upon arriving at Rena Mizunashi's hospital room, Shuichi Akai, James Black, and Jodie were all gathered there to listen to Conan's report.

Soon, Conan told the FBI all the information he had compiled.

After sorting through the series of intelligence reports, the group understood.

Oh, so the person the FBI finally caught was actually a CIA mole!

I thought I'd caught a big fish, but it turned out to be just a plastic bait used to lure larger fish...

Damn it, the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple, not to mention that the other party is an old enemy from my own family.

Therefore, everyone's mood at this moment is quite tense.

After regaining her composure, Judy realized the crucial point and asked in surprise, "If that's the case, then Hondo Eisuke is Mizunashi Rena's younger brother, and Ethan Hondo is Hondo Eisuke's father, so wouldn't Mizunashi Rena be Ethan Hondo's daughter?"

"That incident back then, could it be...?"

"Ah, I think that's how it is."

Conan said in a deep voice, "Now that Hondo Eisuke is searching everywhere for a sister who looks like him, he will definitely be easily targeted. If Hondo Eisuke is interrogated and any information is obtained, it will be easy to connect everything, and in the end, the other party may come to kill him to silence him."

Shuichi Akai glanced at Conan and said, "If that's the case, then this hospital must have been infiltrated by people."

James Black pondered for a moment: "Could it be that traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"

Judy pondered for a moment: "Eisuke Hondo came before that traditional Chinese medicine doctor arrived, so the two shouldn't be very related, right?"

Conan said in a deep voice, "But what if they confirmed that this hospital had sent people here beforehand to gather intelligence?"

Upon hearing this, Judy pondered and said, "In that case, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor is very likely the one who came to rescue Sleeping Beauty."

"It could also be a smokescreen."

Shuichi Akai suddenly spoke up at this moment: "By exposing a group of people, we can divert our attention and thus lack the manpower to monitor other targets."

James Black said in a deep voice, "The problem is that we don't yet know exactly how much they know about us."

"Right now, no matter what methods they use, we have no way to deal with them."

Conan listened to their conversation and was momentarily confused: "What are you talking about?"
