The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1370 Mission: Impossible

Shuichi Akai narrowed his eyes, clearly understanding Conan's intention:

"Should we allow her to continue gathering intelligence within the organization?"

"..."

Conan remained silent, his expression unchanged, everything understood without a word.

Shuichi Akai glanced at Conan, giving the kid a second look.

Actually, that's what he thought too.

Right now, the FBI's plan is to protect Rena Mizunashi and then extract some information about the organization.

As for whether she is a CIA agent...

That matter cannot be discussed for the time being, nor can it be mentioned.

Even if they know she's a CIA agent, she's still a flexible CIA agent.

You claim to be from the CIA, how can you prove it?
Do you have a CIA spy certificate to prove that you are a CIA agent?
The FBI and CIA are not on the same wavelength at all. There is no such thing as harmonious and friendly relations between the two agencies. Even if they are brothers, they are like brothers in the Tang Dynasty, and they would rather their brothers die so that they can take over.

They captured Rena Mizunashi and tortured her to extract information...

This is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Within the larger organizational framework, this is in the best interest of them; it both makes things difficult for the CIA and allows them to obtain intelligence.

However, for an individual like Shuichi Akai, such behavior is incredibly foolish.

Rena Mizunashi has been a member of the organization for many years, and with another promotion, she could become a core figure in the organization.

If you arrest someone now and ruin their future within the organization, what's the point of your game?

Clearly, to harm the organization, it would be necessary to promote Rena Mizunashi to a higher position.

The same applies to Conan.

Therefore, the two reached a consensus.

The two began to discuss their plans.

After that, they found Rena Mizunashi.

As the FBI's ace and the only truly capable person, Shuichi Akai still holds a certain position within the FBI.

It's fair to say that, apart from James, his direct superior, no one present could command him.

He saw two people coming to find him.

Rena Mizunashi immediately understood what she meant.

She simply looked at the two of them calmly: "You two want me to infiltrate the organization again, right?"

"Yes."

Shuichi Akai, with his hands in his pockets, replied, "I have a plan."

"..."

Hearing this, Rena Mizunashi felt inexplicably that it was a bit hard to believe.

Why does it look like Shuichi Akai now has a black top hat, a white shirt, and a black vest on his head?
(P.S.: Dutch, a character in Red Dead Redemption, often says he has a plan, but through various unforeseen circumstances, he ends up causing trouble for his companions.)
Rena Mizunashi sighed helplessly, "I've already been captured by you, and now you want to go back..."

Shuichi Akai simply replied calmly, "The organization has already sent people to rescue you."

Upon hearing this, Rena Mizunashi immediately understood: "So, you came up with this plan?"

Shuichi Akai simply nodded in response, then asked, "Is there anything you need?"

This statement essentially asks, "What do you need to do to become an FBI agent?"

We can provide you with the terms and compensation you require.

"Actually, you've known what I want from the very beginning, haven't you?"

Rena Mizunashi, also known as Hidemi Hondo, asked with a hint of helplessness, "Is it alright to let Eisuke join your FBI's witness protection program?"

"Doesn't the CIA protect its own people?"

Shuichi Akai narrowed his eyes, quite puzzled by this.

After all, the CIA is a prestigious intelligence organization.

The family members of one of their own agents were actually left behind abroad...

Is it not being managed at all?
Our agent was killed, but we were able to adopt the child and eventually raise him to become an FBI agent.

Although saying this might sound like harming someone's father while trying to fool their daughter.

Hondou Hidemi was quite helpless about this: "My contact at headquarters can't reach the organization, and this matter has never been brought up, otherwise this wouldn't have happened today..."

"I'll talk to my younger brother about this; there shouldn't be any problems over there."

"For the sake of your FBI, I'm willing to return to an organization that could execute me at any time due to suspicion. You wouldn't be so heartless as to refuse my request, would you?"

Shuichi Akai naturally agreed, since he was the one who made the request.

Of course, ultimately, the other party gave more.

It's always beneficial for me to say more.

In response, Hondou Emi naturally thought of giving herself a pre-emptive buff:

"However, compared to you, I'm an FBI agent. No matter the circumstances, I'll always prioritize my father's mission and the CIA's mission. If anything happens to the FBI, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

"It doesn't matter."

Shuichi Akai had anticipated this: "I was going to say that too."

"Then, happy working together."

Hondo Emi responded, "Right, little brother?"

"Hahaha……"

Conan just smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

Come to think of it, I seem to be an old acquaintance of Hondo Eikai.

However, she didn't mention me...

They probably already know something.

After all, it's ridiculous that an elementary school student would be hanging out with FBI agents.

Even thinking about it with my cerebellum, something doesn't feel right.

However, Conan didn't think much of it, only feeling that his plan had finally succeeded.

It was part of a plan with Shuichi Akai, but in reality, he also had his own plans in it.

After hearing Akemi Miyano's story, he chose to simply not believe Shuichi Akai and the FBI.

However, it was precisely because of this that he considered making use of Shuichi Akai.

Does Shuichi Akai feel absolutely no guilt towards Akemi Miyano?

Yes, then I can use Shuichi Akai to get Rena Mizunashi to infiltrate the organization again and cause damage to it.

In this way, you can become beautifully invisible.

Compared to themselves, the FBI is clearly more capable of causing harm to the organization.

And there is absolutely no risk involved.

Conan couldn't help but laugh at the thought that he had actually devised such a scheme, feeling like he was a genius and had half of Fujino's talent.

(Fujino: ? You have my dog?)

…………

Meanwhile, Fujino was enjoying a leisurely and carefree time.

He drove for his family members and carried their bags as well.

That's basically how it is. When shopping, those who can drive can act as drivers, and those who can carry bags can help out.

For someone like Fujino, a typical 'male chauvinist,' shopping is really meaningless.

He wasn't entitled to buy anything.

A suit and a tracksuit are enough for him.

Now that he has reached this level, worldly desires can no longer shake his unyielding Dao heart.

While I was strolling around, my aunt Vermouth called.

Fujino glanced at it briefly before answering the call.

An older woman wouldn't call herself for no reason.

Fujino understood this perfectly. So, he went straight to the point and asked the old lady, "What do you mean?"

"They've already started taking action; it seems they're planning to wait and see what happens."

Vermouth didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "What advice do you have for me?"

Fujino wasn't surprised to hear this.

For Mizunashi Rena, or rather Hondo Emi, the best outcome would be to return to the organization's embrace.

As for leaving the organization...

That's the worst-case scenario.

If she really did that, the organization would probably hunt her down and kill her.

After all, this is the organization's boss's darling.

What if he defectes...

That's just like having your beloved girlfriend stolen away by your ex-boyfriend, the blond guy.

Isn't this a kind of NTR?

I reckon even the BOSS would be so angry he'd have a stroke.

To this, Fujino simply said calmly, "It doesn't matter. You should know how to handle this, right?"

Vermouth smiled, looking like a child pleading with his patriarch: "If the operation disrupts your plans, I'll be held responsible."

"Do as you please, it doesn't matter."

Fujino reiterated the objective this time, saying in a deep voice, "There are only two objectives. Within the scope of these two objectives, how you operate is none of my business."

"OK."

"By the way, remember to let me know when you're about to take action. After it's all done, I'd like to see how Gil actually puts on this act with us."

"Ok."

Vermouth responded with a slightly amused tone, and breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

His expression returned to calm.

After a brief moment of thought, he called Kusuda Rikudo again.

I also made a phone call to Bourbon.

…………

Late at night, Beihu Central Hospital was quiet.

Kusuda Rikudō received a message from Vermouth, who claimed that the target's ward had been identified, specifically room 307 on the third floor.

Kusuda Rikumichi was very unhappy about this.

I've been searching for so long and couldn't find it, but you guys finally found it.

How can I boast to the boss about my achievements?

Thinking this to himself, Kusuda Rikudo felt a little frustrated.

However, upon further reflection, he felt incredibly excited about the fact that he was about to complete his grand plan, rescue the organization's cadres, and even become one of the BOSS's trusted confidants.

Even bombs disguised as neck braces hanging around the neck feel warm.

Of course, it warmed my heart.

If it were really warm, then it would be a disaster.

After all, this is a fake bomb, meant to fool people. Who would dare to hang a real bomb?
The plan he received was this: first, others would create a disturbance, then he would take a bomb, threaten the FBI agents left in the room, and take the target away. After that, it would be his accomplices' turn to perform.

Just as Kusuda Rikudo was pondering.

A series of clanging and banging sounds suddenly came.

Then, there was a loud "bang"!
A flashbang suddenly tumbled over and exploded, bursting into a blinding flash and releasing a huge noise.

Kusuda Rikudo: "...?"

What happened?
This doesn't make sense. Why are they starting to act now?
Then, several FBI agents came out of room 307 on the third floor and bumped into Rikumichi Kusuda face to face.

"FBI! Warning!"

"Don't move!"

Upon seeing Kusuda Rikumichi, the FBI agents deployed in the surrounding area immediately rushed out.

Because they were prepared, they also had guns in their hands.

Kusuda Rikudo's expression was complicated at this moment, as if he had eaten shit.

This is wrong!
How did they start making their move before I was even properly hidden?

However, as an outsider under the BOSS, he also possesses certain abilities.

He quickly realized what was happening and suddenly remembered Plan B.

That is, since they only knew Mizunashi Rena's location but not her condition, they created chaos while Mizunashi Rena was in an inconvenient situation, and then the other two took Mizunashi Rena away.

After all, it would be much easier for two people to carry away the incapacitated Rena Mizunashi compared to one person...

"Could it be that the target has been identified as unusable?"

"Damn it, why isn't God on my side..."

"No, I should say those guys were just messing with me!"

"This so-called Plan B must be the real plan!"

"Screw the spy thriller, are they actually taking revenge on me here?"

"Hmph, once I complete this mission and receive the Boss's reward, you'll all be in for a world of hurt!"

After recalling everything and figuring it out, Kusuda Rikudo immediately removed the neck brace from his neck: "Hehe, since you've already found out, I won't pretend anymore!"

"What I'm strapping around my neck is plastic explosives. If these explosives were to detonate, the entire hospital would be blown to smithereens!"

"You don't want to be buried here with me, do you?"

Faced with the bomb, the FBI agents were momentarily stumped.

If you say it's fake, it's very likely it is.

But the worst fear is that it might actually be true.

The main point is that the organization can actually get its hands on this kind of thing so easily.

If it's true, then it's a responsibility they can't afford to bear.

With that meager monthly salary, why risk your life?
Could it be that we're going to fight to the death with the thugs and die here together?
As for the so-called hero title...

All I can say is that it's useless. In free America, heroes are the cheapest thing, and medals are just scrap metal. To capital and organizations, these people are just disposable pawns that can be abandoned at any time. They are considered one of our own when they have some use.

Those American veterans are an example.

Before the war, you were just an American kid, all lured in by carrots.

As for what happens after the war?

Of course, you'd be destitute on the streets, but you'd still have to do whatever you need to do, since the US doesn't support idlers.

No matter what kind of soldier you were, once you retired, you were just cattle or horses with no use to them. Compared to Commissioner Smith, who made all the decisions, you were nothing.

Sometimes, they are even made scapegoats to quell the trouble.

Therefore, those who did not want to become scapegoats immediately became apprehensive.

Seeing this, Kusuda Rikudo became even more smug: "Everyone, step back!"

"Otherwise, you should know the consequences..."

As he spoke, he took two steps back, as if to adjust his footing, and then turned and ran.

The FBI, realizing what was happening, gave chase.

Suddenly, a scene unfolded at Beika Hospital: a man in a hospital gown, running wildly in slippers, looking as if he had a bomb wrapped around his neck.

The scene was extremely abstract, leaving people unsure how to end it.

Kusuda Rikudo felt extremely helpless; even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to act.

It is impossible not to implement Plan B.

Although he was not very satisfied with those cadres, in principle, this matter should still be handled.

If the mission fails because of one's own mistake, that is unforgivable, not only because one cannot forgive oneself, but also because the Boss cannot tolerate it.

In an organization, if you offend the boss, do you think you can just run away?
The software release process was a bit erratic; I'll make some changes.
