The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1367 Having Children
As Fujino watched Bourbon's departing figure, even without careful consideration, he could sense the murderous intent emanating from him.

Clearly, this dark-skinned young man is truly capable of killing Shuichi Akai.

After all, he now believes that Shuichi Akai, the FBI agent, killed his colleague in order to get closer to higher levels of the organization.

Logically speaking, since everyone is an undercover agent, this kind of thinking shouldn't exist.

However, emotions must supersede reason.

At least, Fujino believed that this was how humans were.

To put it bluntly, they all have double standards and are biased towards their own.

If you were an undercover police officer, and your colleague and best friend died in front of an FBI undercover agent, with the killer holding a gun, how would you feel?
Do you really believe that FBI undercover agents never kill people?
That would be considered farting.

Both organizations viewed each other as untrustworthy.

I, the Japanese police, would rather believe you killed my good friend than believe the nonsense that the FBI doesn't kill people.

It's not about human nature theory, but rather that, based on objective observation, so-called 'human nature' is indeed an objectively existing law.

The fact that emotions affect humans under specific circumstances is a fact that is universally present at the physiological, psychological, and social behavioral levels, and is an inherent characteristic and law that does not depend on subjective judgment.

We keep talking about theories of human nature, but what exactly are theories of human nature?

Ultimately, it's a subjective evaluation of human nature, not an objective one.

For example, labeling things like "human nature is inherently good" or "human nature is inherently evil" is a theory of human nature. However, the objective facts of human nature are not based on inherent goodness or evil, but rather on the influence of emotional human nature on human behavior under specific circumstances.

To put it concretely, Bourbon's desire to kill Shuichi Akai is logical in terms of human nature, but from the perspective of human nature, it is either inherently evil and prone to revenge, or inherently good and seeking revenge for one's comrades.

Objective human nature refers to the influence of a person's emotions on their actions when faced with a certain event. Ultimately, the theory of human nature boils down to the idea that one's position determines one's perspective.

The biggest difference between the two lies here.

After leaving the hospital, Fujino said goodbye to Vermouth.

When they got home, Hongye was helping out at Xuewang Ice City.

Ai sat with her arms crossed, looking at her with a slightly resentful expression.

The reason was that Momiji felt Ai shouldn't be doing chores, so she helped her.

This infuriated the gray cat.

No, it's not your place to care about me!

You think you're my mom?

Although the cat was treated gently, it felt that this gentleness hurt more than a knife.

Fujino could only smile helplessly at this situation.

He thought to himself, "Kumoe probably really wants to be Ai's mother now..."

"Putting aside the fact that she is very cute and easily liked by girls, just the fact that she is attracted to my body means that she definitely wants to be a mother."

Fujino automatically recalled that someone had once described him as handsome, which led him to start paying attention to his appearance.

External evaluations can sometimes have a significant impact on a person's life.

Fujino seemed to really enjoy the atmosphere.

Of course, it wasn't a jealous or resentful atmosphere.

It's not so much the atmosphere itself, but rather the harmonious and joyful feeling it evokes.

It feels really good not to be an orphan.

…………

In the world of Detective Conan, things are generally calm before major events occur.

This is one of the principles that Fujino came to understand.

For example, during theatrical releases or when a major event occurs, the probability of murders in the Detective Conan world will be suspended in order to create a big wave of events.

When Fujino noticed that things were becoming calmer, he knew that he was very close to starting his plan.

Knowing this, Fujino went to work as usual, in a very ordinary way.

It's a pity that I can't go out and play with Xiao Hongye on such a rare occasion. But considering that this holiday seems to be quite long, I can only regretfully go to work.

Heiji Hattori spent a few days in Tokyo with Kazuha.

These past few days, I've been going out with Fujino and the others, but since we haven't encountered any cases, I've lost interest.

After discussing the hospital matters with Conan, he left Tokyo.

The main problem was that the hotel room he stayed in was a bit expensive.

This high school detective is a bit stingy with money.

As for the actual reason, that remains unknown.

It could also be because they didn't want to be associated with the FBI.

Before leaving, he deliberately warned Conan: "It's better not to completely trust the FBI."

"I see."

Heiji Hattori clearly didn't believe Conan's answer.

It was his best friend's decision, so he could only respect it.

Despite his seemingly carefree attitude, Hattori, this dark-skinned young man, is actually quite meticulous.

Compared to Shinichi Kudo, who seemed quite cautious but was suddenly shrunk to a tiny size by a single blow, she was incredibly delicate.

After seeing off his best friend, Conan went to the hospital.

At this time, Beihu Hospital remained the same as always.

However, the ward next to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic was different from usual.

Hondo Eisuke, disguised as Hondo Sakurako, sat on the bed with a serious expression: "Brother Fujino, I think I can now confirm which ward Mizunashi Rena is in."

"Is it confirmed?" Fujino feigned doubt, but he wasn't surprised at all.

He had been calculating the reactions of Conan, the FBI, and this group of people.

If he's not mistaken, the FBI clearly wants to bring Eisuke Hondo to their side.

As for Rena Mizunashi...

It's still uncertain whether they're awake or not.

However, judging from their current actions, it should be confirmed that Rena Mizunashi has woken up.

Putting everything else aside, Shuichi Akai and Conan are both incredibly perceptive when it comes to certain things.

Even if Mizunashi Rena wanted to pretend to be asleep after waking up, it would definitely be a very difficult thing for the two of them.

Now, are they trying to pull this sibling reunion act?
Fujino thought about it for a moment and immediately figured out the intention.

After a moment's thought, he said in a deep voice, "We can find an opportunity to try it..."

"try?"

Hondo Eisuke clearly didn't quite understand Fujino's answer.

Fujino thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, you go in and talk to that Rena Mizunashi. I'll keep watch outside, but we'll have to find an opportunity..."

Is she being watched over?

"some."

Hondo Eisuke responded, "There are many foreigners on duty, so it's difficult to get close."

"I'll distract them."

Fujino pondered for a moment, then said, "Find a way to sneak in."

"what?"

Hondo Eisuke was momentarily stunned. "But... what if..."

He started to ramble a bit.

Without knowing who the other person is.

He felt it was very dangerous.

Whether it's for my brother or for him.

After all, nobody knows if those people have guns or other weapons.

Fujino fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a bulletproof vest and a dagger: "Take these two things first. They'll save your life if you can. Call me if you're in danger, and I'll find a way to escape."

"Brother..."

Hondo Eisuke was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

They even gave me the bulletproof vest. This isn't just a guy anymore...

Godfather!

Moved by his actions, he overlooked the fact that Fujino had somehow managed to pull out such a large bulletproof vest from somewhere.

After all, it's only natural that my brother can do magic tricks.

If this isn't magic, then what exactly does Kaito Kid do all the time?

Magic?
Hondo Eisuke wasn't thinking about any of that. Then, he asked worriedly, "And what about you, brother?"

"me?"

Fujino pulled out another bulletproof vest: "I'll wear this."

"..."

Hondo Eisuke was at a loss for words.

Looking at the two vests in front of him, one with the Metropolitan Police Department printed on its back and the other with Osaka Prefecture printed on its back, he inexplicably felt that his older brother's connections were truly extraordinary.

They even have people in Osaka?
So scary...

After Hondo Eisuke gasped in shock, Fujino discussed the details of the operation with him and then returned to his office.

"That guy hasn't been discovered yet?"

Fujino turned to Vermouth, who was sitting on the sofa in his office, and asked, "This operation is so inefficient. They were already planning to take action to reunite the siblings."

“I underestimated that guy…” Vermouth crossed her arms, upholding her professional qualities as a nurse. “No, I should say that the FBI guys were just too incompetent.”

"That guy even investigated the nurses' station and the strange foreigners. I don't know what other way to stop him from continuing his investigation."

"Is that so?" Fujino rolled his eyes. "In that case, we can delay the operation a little and find a specific time to do it."

"What do you mean?"

Vermouth was puzzled.

Fujino calmly said, "That kid came to this hospital because he overheard Kusuda Rikudo sending a text message to the BOSS. In other words, he knew that there were organized people infiltrating the hospital."

“If you let your youngest son deduce it, he will be able to figure it out immediately.”

“Looks like you’ve already planned this out…” Vermouth narrowed her eyes. “Use this message to deliberately expose that guy.”

Fujino nodded happily, "Then it will be your turn to perform. You should be able to do it, right?"

"Don't you even know what I do for a living?"

"Yes, the Thousand-Faced Witch, right?"

Vermouth responded with a slightly sly, foxy smile.

…………

After nightfall, Fujino secretly went out and sneaked into Beika Central Hospital.

He pulled out his grappling hook, grabbed the window of Hondou Sakurako's hospital room, and jumped up to get outside.

Because it was winter, the windows were closed.

In response, Fujino could only squat down by the window and tap on the glass.

Hondou Eisuke realized what was happening and opened the window: "Brother, how did you get in through the window?"

Fujino retorted speechlessly, "Otherwise, would I have been able to brazenly walk into the hospital and into a young married woman's room?"

"Enough with this nonsense, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Hondo Eisuke nodded, his face still bearing the makeup of a girl, yet revealing a sense of impending heroic death.

"Very good, very energetic."

Fujino nodded, looking quite satisfied, and pulled a hood from his pocket, putting it on his head.

Then she asked him, "Do you want it?"

"...?"

Hondo Eisuke stared blankly at the mask in front of him, which only revealed the eyes and mouth.

Something's off about this mask for the past few minutes...

Why does it feel like they're ruthless robbers who raid a bank?

Dude, where did you get that mask from?

Hondou Eisuke inwardly complained, but after thinking about it, he ultimately put the thought back.

…………

As night fell, Beihu Central Hospital was quiet.

Two figures moved through the corridor, discreetly and quietly.

The hospital was deserted in the middle of the night, which seemed a bit strange. After arriving at the third floor of the hospital, Fujino began his pre-battle planning.

"I'll distract them. You wait until it's safe to go in. There will probably be other people waiting inside..."

"You can act cheaply."

Fujino wore a black hood over a bulletproof vest, and had two knives at his waist.

"clear."

Hondo Eisuke, who was also wearing a bulletproof vest and had a small knife in his pocket, nodded.

Seeing this, Fujino didn't say anything and rushed forward.

He kicked open the door to room 307.

Then, two foreigners appeared in the room.

The three pairs of eyes met for a moment, and then the atmosphere fell silent.

The two foreigners were stunned for a moment when they saw the person who kicked the door open and entered. Then they stood up and chased after them.

Fujino went up and kicked each of them once, then scanned the scene with his eagle eyes before turning and running away.

It was strikingly similar to the scene in England where Mr. Sun, carrying a blue backpack, angrily kicked an old lady and ran away.

Hondo Eisuke watched as Fujino was chased by two burly men, gritted his teeth, surveyed his surroundings, and then rushed into the ward.

The ward was very simple; it was a single room.

He took a deep breath, walked slowly forward, and glanced at the woman lying on the bed.

Looking at that familiar face, he reached for the dagger in his pocket, then shook the woman's body with one hand: "Rena Mizunashi, wake up, wake up now!"

"Who are you?"

"How is Sister Yinghai doing?"

"Open your eyes now! I finally managed to get in!"

"hateful!"

Hondo Eisuke gritted his teeth, feeling a bit suffocated.

My brother is clearly trying to buy himself some time because of this.

As a result, this person actually fell into a coma!
Regardless of whether she was his sister or not, he felt utterly hopeless.

If it really is my older sister, then we're doomed. If it's not my older sister, then there's absolutely no point in taking such a big risk to come here now!
With that thought in mind, he pulled out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed the woman lying on the bed.

However, before the dagger could fall...

Hondo Eikai couldn't hold back any longer.

My little brother, whom I remember so well, has really grown into a girl!
What do you mean by having children?

Rena Mizunashi couldn't even imagine how her good little brother had managed all these years. But compared to her little brother dressing up as a girl in women's clothing...

She was more concerned about how the little brother she remembered had become a murderer!
Who taught them to be so twisted?!

She reached out and easily controlled the dagger, then opened her eyes, her expression complex.

Didn't I tell you that you can't hurt others?

"How did things turn out like this over the years..."

"Sis...?"

Upon hearing the familiar words, Hondou Eisuke immediately realized that it was undoubtedly his real older sister.
