The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1366 Unofficial History: A Few Things About Bourbon and That Man

The older woman didn't delve into the word "also," simply assuming it was Fujino's habitual quirk.

As for doubts...

She certainly suspected it; she reasonably suspected that everyone in the organization was an undercover agent.

You should know that even she, a veteran cadre, is a double agent.

Could the other people in the organization be good people?

If he's not a double agent, then he must be an undercover agent.

As for whether there are any exceptions...

Q: The BOSS came in third place in the competition on loyalty to the organization.

So who came in first and second place?

Aside from Gin and Vodka, those two idiots, there's probably no one else.

It's estimated that even the BOSS wasn't as loyal to the organization as the two of them, who were more grateful to it.

However, the fact that Fujino actually let one slip through the net this time is quite surprising.

The older woman was still a little doubtful, and frowned: "What if he finds out?"

"You found it?"

Fujino stroked his chin. "Then we'll just have to see this new friend off..."

Vermouth was a little surprised: "You killed an undercover agent too?"

"Is the undercover agent clean?"

Fujino shook his head slightly at this, "Let's not talk about undercover agents or what they wanted to do by infiltrating your organization. Which undercover agent is clean?"

"Even without mentioning these things, any threat must be eliminated."

"Compared to morality or justice, self-interest is the most important thing."

"Isn't it?"

"Having a boss like you is quite reassuring." Vermouth looked up at Fujino after hearing this, satisfied with the answer.

In terms of pragmatism, she admires such selfish and ruthless people.

Such ruthless people often succeed.

Of course, someone like GUY Shin-chan's godson is her ideal type.

Ideals are ideals, but can we disregard reality and not discuss them?

…………

Hondou Sakurako was also taking action at this time.

After eating the specially prepared nutritious lunch for pregnant women with a heavy heart, he began his actions.

As she walked down the corridor, a nurse greeted her: "Miss Sakura, out for a stroll again?"

"yes……"

Hondou Sakurako greeted him with a smile, then lowered her head awkwardly.

She was as shy as a young married woman.

It can only be said that the movements are so deeply ingrained in his bones.

If some things weren't unchangeable, he would truly have become her by now.

During her time in the hospital, the news that she was pregnant had already spread.

Even though it's only between doctors and nurses.

But it still feels very awkward.

However, thanks to the advantage of being a pregnant woman taking a walk, she was able to move around the hospital with ease.

During her time at the hospital, she explored both the first and second floors.

I also browsed the third floor...

She noticed that there were often some unusual foreigners on the third floor, and one would frequently appear.

And each time is different.

Even after a period of time, foreigners who look exactly the same will reappear.

She even felt like someone was watching her...

This made her have some doubts.

"What's going on with these foreigners?"

"Could it be that you're visiting a friend who's in the hospital?"

"But why do I feel like they're spying on me..."

She frowned, thinking to herself, and felt that something was amiss.

Could these foreigners be connected to that Rena Mizunashi?

After thinking about it, she decided to ask her good older brother, Fujino, for advice.

…………

As Sakurako Hondo's attending physician, Dr. Liu is available whenever needed.

Immediately, Hondou Sakura explained to her brother what she had discovered.

Our colleague immediately pondered for a moment: "It seems there's something fishy going on here..."

"Foreigners are not uncommon in Japan, but it's quite unusual to see them in a hospital in such large numbers."

"And it also feels like I'm being monitored."

"Then they're probably really spying on you."

"Nani?"

Upon hearing this, Hondou Eisuke immediately frowned: "They've already discovered it?"

Fujino pondered for a moment: "If the other party is a professional, then our group of little KESs will not be able to hide it from them at all, which is quite normal."

"However, judging from the fact that the other party has not yet made a move against you, I cannot be sure what is going on for the time being."

Fujino certainly knew what was going on; after all, no matter how outrageous the FBI agents were, they couldn't kill this kid.

At most, it's just surveillance...

However, the FBI's ability to share intelligence between the two individuals remains uncertain.

Fujino thought about it and actually felt a bit of a headache.

Before speaking, you need to recall in your mind how much information you have given to the other party.

We also need to figure out how to deceive them.

Hondo Eisuke absolutely trusts his older brother.

He also had his own thoughts: "In other words, either they haven't confirmed that the two of us came to find Mizunashi Rena, or the other party seems to be in the same group as Mizunashi Rena..."

"If it's the latter, then that Mizunashi Rena..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already quite clear.

I am Hondo Eikai's younger sister, no, I am his younger brother!
It's unclear who Rena Mizunashi is.

However, if that group is in cahoots with Rena Mizunashi.

Why don't you take action against yourself...

The only possibility is that I am Rena Mizunashi's younger brother!
Since he is the younger brother, then that Mizunashi Rena is probably his older sister!

This is how Hondo Eisuke's thought process went.

Fujino is faced with Hondo Eisuke's self-constructive reasoning...

Just feel...

This kid is quite talented?

Although there are some errors, the reasoning is indeed correct.

Okay, although this kid is a bit slow, his observation and reasoning abilities are indeed far beyond those of ordinary people.

Only a genius like myself could probably fool him.

Fujino thought to himself, then immediately reassured him: "Since your reasoning is like this, then you can do it without worry."

"This is a hospital, so they probably won't dare to make a move easily. You just need to be careful not to get caught by them."

"I'll take care of things for you if anything happens."

"What if they have guns?" Hondou Eisuke thought of this. "If that's the case, then..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Fujino fumbled in his white coat and pulled out his Chiyo and Soyuki: "You don't need to worry about that. I'm not afraid of guns for now."

"A gun is faster at ten paces, but not necessarily within ten paces." "Especially in urban warfare."

"I can easily take care of anyone by smashing through the hospital wall and launching a surprise attack."

"..."

Hondo Eisuke fell silent for a moment, his mind filled with countless questions he wanted to voice.

For example, where exactly did you pull the knife out from?

Also, isn't it a bit too outrageous to say that they slashed down the hospital wall?
Even if it's not a cement wall, it's still a red brick wall...

Is that something you can just chop up casually?

The declaration, which defied common sense, was beyond Hondo Eisuke's comprehension.

However, he was still very touched by his good brother's thoughtful words.

Hondo Eisuke felt that if he were Hondo Sakurako, he would probably be directly seduced by his good older brother.

How should a man repay kindness?

Then I'll have no choice but to go to great lengths for my good brother.

As I said before, Hondo Eisuke has absolute trust in his good older brother.

After discussing it for a while, he decided to take action.

With the big brother backing us up, nothing is a problem!
…………

Before we knew it, it was afternoon.

After getting off work, Fujino and Vermouth left the hospital.

On the way out of the hospital, Vermouth, sitting in the passenger seat with her legs crossed, said, "I'm going to see Bourbon later; I have an appointment with him."

"About that guy Kusuda Rikudō?"

"yes……"

Vermouth responded, "Tell Bourbon to be ready to act at any time, so as not to alert the enemy."

Fujino withdrew his gaze: "It seems you don't trust Kusuda Rikumichi's abilities, but you haven't properly arranged things with Bourbon..."

"Is there a vulnerability?"

Vermouth shook her head slightly at this: "It's just a matter of making arrangements in advance. No matter how bad Kusuda Rikumichi is, he can't be discovered in a day."

"It's hard to say." Fujino took a deep breath. "That guy is clumsy and doesn't have any of the talent of an old hand like us. Getting caught is really an uncertainty."

"You can rest assured of this."

Vermouth still had her legs crossed. "I told him beforehand to let me know when the operation was about to begin, and I would send someone to meet him so that he wouldn't be exposed and no one would be there to rescue him."

"If he runs away without saying anything... there's nothing we can do."

As she said this, she couldn't help but sigh: "A fool like him, no one could possibly plan ahead of him accurately."

"..."

Fujino didn't reply, but he agreed in his heart.

A clever person's meticulous planning is indeed no match for a fool's quick wit.

For example, a parent driving under the influence of alcohol while their child is taking the civil service exam, an elderly woman using alcohol to make baby formula, or a mischievous child tearing up their parent's lottery ticket...

“Besides, I have other preparations.” Vermouth’s lips curled into a slight smile. “Plans can never keep up with changes, and I don’t have your ability to devise a near-perfect plan.”

"If it's impossible to make a plan flawless, then the only way is to make up for the previous one with more plans."

"It's as if lies can only be covered up with more lies..."

"Isn't it?"

"I underestimated you." Fujino scoffed lightly, unimpressed by Vermouth's ramblings.

But think about it.

The older woman was, after all, an elite cadre.

Given the potential for profit, how could she not meticulously plan everything?

Perhaps I'm part of her scheme too.

…………

The place where the three met was once again an abandoned warehouse left behind by the economic bubble.

The conversation with the young black man, Bourbon, was pretty much the same.

The elderly woman, Vermouth, explained the current plan, her idea of ​​killing Kusuda Rikumichi, and the specific details of the operation.

Bourbon simply smiled, unsurprised by the plan.

Vermouth is a mystic; scheming and plotting are just part of her job.

An old hand at this.

The guy next to this thousand-faced witch is definitely not a good person either.

They are clearly good at planning and such.

In comparison, those who gather intelligence and define their own actions are not as strong.

Otherwise, Lao Da wouldn't have paired himself with the other party.

Thinking this way, he simply tilted his head slightly and looked at the two of them, teasingly saying:

"You two really did plan everything in advance."

"A plan like this is probably impossible for anyone other than those in the know to crack."

“That’s not necessarily true.” Vermouth sighed. “After all, that man is right across from us. It’ll be difficult to hide it from him.”

"After all, he's the man known as the Silver Bullet."

"That man?"

Upon hearing this, Bourbon narrowed his eyes slightly, as if a certain thought was stirring within them.

However, as he said those words, his aura suddenly surged forth.

His expression was also full of coldness.

The murderous intent was simply overwhelming and impossible to conceal.

Vermouth stared at him, quite curious about the deep-seated hatred between the two.

It seems like this guy gets really angry and wants to vent his frustration whenever this guy is mentioned.

Okay, although I've never met them, this is just a rumor within the organization.

According to unofficial historical accounts within the organization, when Shuichi Akai was an undercover agent, he killed a Japanese Public Security agent within the organization. That agent was very close to Bourbon, and there were even rumors that the two had some unknown secrets.

In short, their relationship is quite unusual.

Even though the undercover agent had already been killed.

But the undercover agent on the Bourbon team still had deep feelings for the team.

Therefore, he also harbors deep hatred for Shuichi Akai.

Especially after discovering that the other party was actually an FBI agent, he wanted to kill him at all times as a member of the organization.

Vermouth thought for a moment and suddenly realized that her boss had sent this guy over with a bit of a "watching the show" mentality.

And perhaps they also have the idea of ​​getting rid of Shuichi Akai...

After all, Shuichi Akai has really broken the boss's heart.

Vermouth must have found it hard to stay calm.

Such a person was exposed because of his incompetent teammates.

Compared to the two who were quick-witted and scheming, Fujino seemed rather dull.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Why do you keep bringing up that other guy when you can just say Shuichi Akai?"

"Making it all so mysterious."

"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were talking about some mysterious banana guy or some shady Dong Dawei, okay?"

Whenever she thought of that man, Fujino's mind would ring with his classic screams and his bewildering dance moves.

Putting aside his strange thoughts, he calmly said, "It's possible that Shuichi Akai saw through our thoughts."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bourbon: "So, what you're going to be facing is a well-prepared Shuichi Akai, and the FBI."

"We are unable to offer any assistance in this matter at the moment."

“We have other things to take care of.”

“I can handle it myself.” Bourbon didn’t seem to care, and simply said, “I’m quite grateful that you let me handle this on my own.”

"Just wait for my good news."
