The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1368 Finally, Fujino was caught!

The siblings hadn't seen each other for a long time. Now, their two almost identical pairs of eyes met, their expressions incredibly complex.

Feeling lost, confused, and doubtful.

They appeared almost simultaneously in each other's eyes.

Hondo Eisuke was the first to break down and speak.

He had so many questions: "Sister Yinghai, what's going on with you? Why did you even change your name to something like Mizunashi Rena, and even..."

Upon hearing this, Rena Mizunashi was momentarily at a loss for words.

Does this mean he's revealing himself to be a CIA agent?

Weighing the pros and cons, she decided it was better to lie.

As the older sister, she didn't want her younger brother to get involved.

"A CIA agent."

Just then, a male voice suddenly came from behind.

The two turned around and saw Shuichi Akai walk in with his hands in his pockets, saying calmly, "If the information is correct, that's how it is."

Seeing Akai Shuichi's slightly pretentious demeanor, both of them fell silent for a moment.

I just felt a little awkward?

Hondo Eisuke was taken aback upon hearing this: "CIA? What are you saying?!"

"How can it be……"

"Shouldn't..."

Hondo Eisuke said this, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

Fujino once said that his father's identity was not simple...

He even said that he might be a member of an intelligence organization.

Did Fujino-nii actually guess right?!

Hondo Eisuke secretly sighed, realizing that his regard for Fujino had risen to a new level.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he looked at his older sister.

He only noticed that his older sister frowned slightly.

It seems that this is already a tacit agreement.

He realized that his father might also be in the same organization as his older sister.

Immediately, he asked Rena Mizunashi, "Then, what about Dad...?"

"..."

Rena Mizunashi remained silent for a moment, not daring to answer.

This is a major reason why she doesn't see her younger brother.

Because, if you don't know, you might think they're alive.

If they found out, they would really be dead.

That hope was gone.

As the older sister, she didn't want to tell her younger brother the terrible news herself.

Shuichi Akai looked at the two siblings in front of him and naturally understood this: "Your father is on another mission, and we don't know the current situation either."

"what?"

Hondo Eisuke looked at Akai Shuichi with a puzzled expression.

At the same time, a hint of doubt was also revealed in Rena Mizunashi's eyes.

In response, Shuichi Akai simply explained, "Your sister was injured during the mission, and we are currently looking after her to prevent her from getting hurt in any accident."

"Actually, we noticed you a long time ago, but due to the special nature of this matter, we have to keep it a secret from you."

"At the same time, you should keep it a secret from the person who helped you."

Hondo Eisuke looked at Akai Shuichi in front of him upon hearing this, and his brows furrowed slightly.

I felt a little strange about this guy who claimed to be my colleague.

Rena Mizunashi then spoke calmly: "The situation is like this."

"Sis, you..."

Hondo Eisuke turned around and looked at his older sister, his expression somewhat complicated.

Upon learning the truth, he didn't know what to say.

Is it accusation or complaint?
Hondo Eisuke couldn't explain it clearly.

Shuichi Akai understood the art of language and knew he couldn't let the atmosphere become awkward, so he continued, "There's not much more I can tell you right now. The only thing I can tell you is that your sister can't return to a normal life for the time being."

"why is it like this?"

Upon hearing this, Hondo Eisuke looked at Akai Shuichi and said with displeasure, "It's already come to this, are we really going to continue...?"

"This is the responsibility that comes with this job."

Shuichi Akai said, "Now, I've told you everything I can. That's all you can know."

"Is this all we can know?"

At that moment, a voice familiar to Hondo Eisuke came through.

He looked over and saw Fujino walking in carrying two swords: "What can you do if I want him to know more?"

Fujino, carrying a sword, seemed quite intimidating. He had two long swords at his waist and a wooden sword slung over his shoulder and on his head, as if he had just been through a major battle, but he looked very clean.

He appeared unusually calm.

"Brother Fujino?"

Hondo Eisuke was somewhat surprised, yet not entirely.

Fujino, carrying his wooden sword, said calmly, "Sorry I'm a little late. I just took care of a dozen or so people. There are just too many people here. It does take a while to take them all down quietly."

"More than ten people?"

Hondo Eisuke was taken aback for a moment, but then he thought about Fujino's fighting prowess.

A dozen or so people don't seem to be a problem.

Compared to the composed Eisuke Hondo, Hidemi Hondo and Shuichi Akai were not so composed.

They frowned as they looked at Fujino, clearly seeing a monster.

Rena Mizunashi, also known as Hidemi Hondo, was wondering what was going on with the FBI team. How could they have taken down more than ten people?
Isn't that incredibly incompetent?

Shuichi Akai felt that the other party was a bit outrageous.

Although the opponent was expected to be very strong.

But how could they take out more than a dozen well-trained FBI field agents so quickly?

That's a fighting ability that no normal person could possess.

Even he might not be able to gain the upper hand when facing a group of more than ten people.

Moreover, it was resolved quietly.

Although it may not be a group attack, but rather a one-on-one fight, sometimes, a fighting mind is also a kind of strength in battle.

Under his watchful gaze, Fujino slowly entered the room and braced the tip of his wooden sword against the ground.
“I want him to know more.”

"What can you do to me?"

"..."

Shuichi Akai fell silent upon hearing this.

There's really nothing we can do about this kid.

Especially when the other party is carrying a knife and has two more knives at their waist.

It's hard to arm wrestle without a gun.

However, adhering to the principle that one must never lose face.

He calmly said, "This is for your own good. Neither she nor I want you to get involved in our affairs."

"This is for your safety and for our operational considerations."

"That's not up to me."

Fujino glanced at Hondo Eisuke beside him: "His word is law."

He asked, "What are you thinking?"

"..."

Hondou Eisuke fell silent upon hearing this, unsure how to answer such a sudden question.

He hadn't expected to encounter such a situation. After a brief moment of thought, he looked at his sister, then at Shuichi Akai, and asked in a deep voice, "Can I still come to see her?"

"..."

Shuichi Akai remained silent, while Fujino tapped his knife.

Shuichi Akai took a deep breath, feeling that this was a blatant threat.

But the frustrating thing is, there's nothing I can do about it.

Finally, he said calmly, "Her current situation is not suitable for having unrelated people around her. However, provided it is safe, you can meet with her twice."

Upon hearing this, Fujino asked Hondo Eisuke, "Is that alright?"

"can."

Hondo Eisuke nodded, his mind already weighing the pros and cons.

After some mental preparation, he finally nodded.

Fujino had nothing to say about this, but slowly raised his wooden sword: "Friend, it's already past midnight. We've come all this way, so we should at least let the two sisters spend some time together, shouldn't we?"

“I knocked your friends out, they’re still unconscious, you have to go and save them…”

Shuichi Akai didn't say anything after hearing this, and could only nod and leave the room.

Fujino followed, but before leaving, she said, "You sisters should get along well."

"..."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Hondo Eisuke, of course, noticed what his older brother meant by teasing his sister.

Rena Mizunashi felt quite awkward seeing her younger brother, whom she hadn't seen for many years, turn into her older sister.

He could only speak first, asking, "What...?"

"It was Fujino-nii who helped..."

Hondo Eisuke quickly explained, "He was afraid that my identity would be recognized, so he changed me into this outfit."

Rena Mizunashi, now back in her original identity as Eikai Hondo, laughed out loud: "This method isn't entirely unfeasible."

"..."

Hondo Eisuke could only blush deeply at this.

Having finally gotten some time to spend with her brother, Rena Mizunashi decided to chat about everyday things: "So, you asked him to help you find me?"

“That’s not it…” Hondo Eisuke explained, “Actually, it’s because my older brother heard that I was looking for you, so he offered to help.”

"That's it..."

Hondo Eikai nodded. "Originally, I was thinking of having him help protect you, but things have turned out differently than expected."

"Protect?"

"Yes."

Hondo Emi replied, "Sister, I'm currently doing something very dangerous, so I can't contact you for the time being. If I'm exposed because of contacting you, not only will I suffer, but you will also be implicated."

"So, the less you and that detective know about this matter, the better."

"The deeper you get involved, the more you want to investigate, and in the end, it will be dangerous..."

…………

Hondo Eisuke is chatting with his older sister.

Fujino then led Shuichi Akai to the ward where the body had been disposed of.

To be precise, it wasn't about dumping a body, but rather about dumping someone who had been knocked unconscious.

Looking at his colleagues lying in the empty hospital room, Shuichi Akai felt like a herd of alpacas were flying over his heart.

Fujino walked slowly toward the group and said calmly, "Your good friend just fainted. He'll wake up soon. If you don't want to be found out at dawn that a bunch of people came out of one room, come and lend a hand."

Shuichi Akai didn't say anything upon hearing this, but instead helped wake up his colleague.

Just as Fujino was instructing him to wake up his colleagues, he suddenly spoke up again: "You guys are really shameless, you all hid and planned to ambush me."

"Luckily I reacted in time, otherwise you guys would have really held me back or drugged me."

"..."

"Tsk, he's really cold." Fujino glanced at Shuichi Akai, thinking that this should be the first time he had officially met this cousin.

However, this brother-in-law is clearly not someone people like.

He worked for the American imperialists, and at the same time, he sold out his own sister-in-law.

To be honest, with the double buff, if it weren't for some connections, Fujino would have already gone up and taken care of this guy as well.

Something convenient.

Faced with his indifferent brother-in-law, Fujino had no intention of trying to win him over. Instead, he began to pursue his own goals: "The way you guys are doing this is really speechless. Do you know that doing this almost got me killed by a patient who sneaked out in the middle of the night?"

Shuichi Akai frowned at this moment: "A patient who sneaked out in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know, I didn't notice."

Fujino said calmly, "Anyway, that guy came from the second floor. I thought he was someone coming to help you, but judging from his appearance, he probably isn't..."

"Luckily, I was a professional and didn't get noticed by him, otherwise, all of you would have been seen by that guy."

"Are you guys even professional? There were so many sentries, and he just strolled up here so leisurely that no one noticed?"

"..."

Shuichi Akai fell silent again, lost in thought.

Afterwards, Fujino realized that the guy wasn't responding, so he didn't say anything more. After waking up the unconscious man's colleagues, he left the scene.

After talking with his older sister, Hondo Eisuke stopped talking and gave up on continuing the investigation, intending to enjoy some long-awaited sibling time during this period.

Fujino was a little speechless, but he didn't intend to go invisible yet.

His explanation was: "My salary hasn't even arrived yet, how can I leave?"

"If I leave, will you pay my salary?"

The reason is so practical that no one can refuse it.

Shuichi Akai then asked Eisuke Hondo a question: "How exactly did you find out that Rena Mizunashi was in this hospital?"

Hondo Eisuke gave the same honest answer as he had given Fujino.

After watching the two people leave.

Shuichi Akai turned around and looked at Rena Mizunashi: "Are there CIA people in the hospital?"

"There shouldn't be."

Rena Mizunashi said in a deep voice, "Normally, I have lost contact with them. They would not act rashly if they were unsure of my situation."

"..."

Shuichi Akai narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, as if he had thought of something.

…………

The next morning was Fujino's day off.

Fujino plans to take Kokoro, Ai, and Akemi and the others out for fun.

Compared to the leisurely group, Conan, who lives across the hall, went to the hospital early in the morning.

Soon, he met up with the FBI agents.

Upon learning that the operation against Fujino last night had been a great success, he nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, Fujino should stop investigating."

"He probably doesn't know your exact identities yet. Did you see Ms. Judy?"

Shuichi Akai shook his head slightly: "I'm not sure about that, but that guy named Hondo should tell him."

He glanced at Judy again halfway through his sentence: "She wasn't involved in the operation."

That's fine.

Conan nodded with his arms crossed, quite satisfied with the matter.

We finally fell for Fujino's trick!

Strictly speaking, it's not a formula...

However, this can already be considered a victory.

Fujino and Conan thought she was just too supermodel-worthy.

So much so that no scheme he devised could fool anyone...

So he came up with a clever, unconventional approach.

A calculated showdown!
