Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

Green Terrace Police Hospital.

Fūya Rei ended the call and returned silently to Morobushi Keimitsu's bedside.

The other two noticed that his expression was not right, and Jiang Teng Daizo finally realized that he was redundant in this room, so he stood up and said goodbye: "I'm leaving first, Senior Zhufu, please have a good rest tonight."

Zhu Fujingguang looked at the clock opposite and saw that it was almost 11 o'clock. He said, "Be careful on the road."

Eto Daizo nodded and quickly left the ward.

Furiya Rei waited until the door of the ward was closed again before he sat down on the chair next to him. His brows were furrowed, and his cell phone was tightly held in his hand. People who knew him well could tell at a glance that he was upset at the moment.

Zhu Fujingguang saw You Xunran's expression and felt something was wrong: "Zero, what news did you receive?"

Fūya Rei was immersed in his own thoughts, but was suddenly brought back to his senses by Morobushi Keimitsu's question and met his friend's worried blue eyes.

"Is it related to the organization?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang thought about what had just happened in the hotel and immediately began to suspect something.

"..." Furiya Rei looked at him and spoke carefully: "It is indeed related to the organization... But it is a serious matter. The management officer believes that it needs to be confirmed and cannot notify other people for the time being."

The two are good friends who can talk about anything, but that doesn't mean that Furuya Rei will casually reveal the information of the National Police Agency to him, especially the news whose authenticity has not been confirmed.

Zhu Fu Jingguang did not force it. He leaned back on the raised pillow and turned his head to look towards the window.

"I don't know how it is with my brother..."

His tone was relatively calm, but there was worry between his brows that he could not hide.

"..."

Furuya Rei also fell silent.

……

Three years ago, Zhu Fu Jingguang's undercover identity was exposed.

He was saved by the timely response of the public security. After recovering from his injuries, he refused the public security's protection plan (sending him to Hokkaido to hide), and continued to stay in Tokyo, investigating the organization as a public security police officer.

But he was willing to take the risk himself, but he could not ignore his brother's safety.

Fortunately, Morobushi Takaaki has been staying in Nagano. Nagano Prefecture is located at a higher altitude, with the terrain mainly consisting of plateaus and basins. It is not as prosperous as Tokyo and Osaka, and the organization does not have many activities there.

So the public security did not let him hide somewhere else under an assumed name, but instead found a random excuse to transfer him to a remote local police station. It was not until a few months ago that Takaaki Morobushi returned to the Nagano Prefecture Police Headquarters.

Zhu Fu Jingguang already felt guilty about his brother being implicated, and was very happy to know that he had returned. However, he did not expect that he would get into such trouble today not long after returning.

Zhu Fugaoming not only entered the banquet hall tonight, but after the incident, in order to maintain order, he even went on stage as a policeman to appease everyone at the scene.

Curacao was there at the time.

The last mission before Furuya Rei's evacuation was to partner with her, and he knew that she had excellent memory and observation skills.

Upon learning that she might have noticed Zhufu Gaoming, Fūya Ling realized that something was wrong on the spot. He quickly contacted the management officer to inform him of the matter, and ordered people to intensify the search of the sea area.

"Don't worry, the administrator has already sent people to protect Officer Morobushi. They will make sure he is sent back to Nagano Prefecture safely."

Fūya Rei stood up, patted Morobushi Kagemitsu on the shoulder, and told him in detail how the police would handle the matter:
"Manager Kuroda will be transferred to Nagano soon and will become your brother's superior. He will be able to look after him during daily operations and not let him go out alone. He will also try to keep him in Nagano at other times and not let him go out of town at will."

"I heard that Officer Morifushi's two best colleagues in Nagano are among the best police officers in the headquarters. He works with them, and if there are any suspicious people around, they will notice it."

Zhu Fujingguang was stunned by this arrangement: "Manager Kuroda is going to be transferred to Nagano?"

"Yeah." When talking about his boss, Furuya Rei had no concerns. "There's a remote village in Nagano where a large number of people have gone missing. He wants to go and see it for himself."

Seventeen years ago, Manager Kuroda was involved in an assassination attempt by the organization. He was seriously injured and in a coma for many years. After waking up, he was responsible for investigating the organization. He went to Nagano because the disappearances might be related to the organization.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was silent for a few seconds, then whispered: "I understand."

Fūya Rei could see that he was not very confident about such protection.

To be honest, when he heard the administrator's arrangements, he also felt that there were many loopholes.

But at the same time, he also knew that this was the best protection the police could provide to an ordinary policeman with no important identity.

Being an undercover agent requires great dedication and sacrifice.

But many people overlook one point - the undercover agent's family is actually also part of the sacrifice.

Undercover agents will not tell their families about their work, so they will lose contact with one of their relatives for a long time, causing emotional loss; and if their undercover identity is exposed one day, they will easily become the first to suffer retaliation.

Thinking of this, Fūya Rei sighed imperceptibly.

He, Zhu Fujingguang and two newly dispatched public security undercover agents, and their relatives and friends are all safe at present... Although someone was injured not long ago, subsequent investigations proved that it was just an accident and had nothing to do with the organization.

However, the first undercover agent sent to the organization, Wheat Whiskey (Witt), suffered a devastating disaster.

That senior also went undercover in the organization not long after graduation, and was later transferred to the United States. Contact with Japan became intermittent until one day seventeen years ago, when he completely lost contact.

Witt's parents originally had only him as their child, and they didn't have another child, a boy, until he was in college.

After Witt lost contact, the police began to closely monitor the family - they suspected that Witt had betrayed the family and might come back to contact his family.

As a result, in the fourth year of surveillance, the youngest son of the family, Witt's younger brother, disappeared.

Not only that, the home of a public security officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, who chose Witt to go undercover, also suffered a disaster.

His wife was killed at home, and his only son is suspected to have witnessed the entire process of his mother's death. He was so shocked that he lost part of his memory and has not recovered to this day.

The two incidents happened on the same day. The police suspected that Witt was involved. While investigating urgently, they also published the news of his brother's disappearance on the front page of the newspaper. They hoped that Witt could contact the police as soon as possible.

However, the bad news came even faster.

A few days after the missing person was reported, a public security officer happened to be browsing the American news and accidentally saw a news report about an unidentified Asian man with a broken jaw and his body being eaten by wolves in the wild.

The news item specifically mentioned that the man had a snake-shaped tattoo on his body.

The public security department paid close attention to this news because when Witt was transferred to the United States, he mentioned his boss's preference - the senior official liked to have his subordinates tattoo snakes on their bodies as his special mark.

They tried to contact the United States and after some effort, they got photos of the body and finally confirmed that the dead Asian man was Witt.

In this way, the police lost the first undercover agent sent to the organization.

At the same time, the missing relatives of the undercover predecessor are still missing and their whereabouts are still unknown.

……

Furiya Rei left the ward with a lot on his mind.

The police have the authority to jump the queue during inspections and get the report as soon as possible. He just calculated the time and felt that it was about time, so he decided to take the initiative to go and get it.

He was not worried that the organization would come to kill him, as the security measures here were much stricter than those in ordinary hospitals. If they dared to come, he was sure that they would never return.

Furiya Ling pressed his head, which was aching from his busy work and overthinking, got the report, made an appointment with the doctor for tomorrow's checkup, and returned as soon as possible. But halfway through his journey, a door next to him suddenly opened.

"Then I'll go back first, Ishigami-senpai."

Eto Daizo stood at the door and said goodbye to the people inside, then closed the door.

The moment he turned around, he was caught off guard by the face of Furukaya Rei and his body trembled with fear.

"F-Fouya-senpai?!"

"..."

Fūya Rei was somewhat disgusted by his startled appearance, but considering that he was a junior of Moruobushi Kagemitsu and a newcomer, he still slowed down his tone and asked, "Why haven't you gone back yet?"

"I'm worried about Ishigami-senpai."

Jiang Teng Daizo said embarrassedly: "He was the most seriously injured, and he didn't contact his family to stay with him. I was very worried about him and wanted to stay with him tonight, but... uh, he doesn't need it."

Furugaya Rei looked at his expression and guessed that the original words might not be so tactful.

So he kindly didn't ask any further questions, but just instructed: "Since he doesn't need it, you should go back quickly. You also fought with those guys tonight, so have a good rest when you go back."

Eto Daizo agreed honestly and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed that Furuya Rei was holding a report. He stopped and said hesitantly, "Senior, is Senior Morifushi in good health?"

Furuya Rei thought about what the doctor had just said and didn't hide the truth from the young man who was concerned about his childhood friend. "I'm not sure. I'll send him for other tests depending on the situation."

Aoyagi Akimichi mentioned that there was a red spot behind Zhufu Jingguang's ear caused by a needle prick. After entering the hospital, Zhufu Jingguang immediately underwent a blood test and several other tests.

Now the report is out, all his indicators are normal.

Morobushi Kagemitsu comforted him that it might just be anesthesia, but Furutani Rei was worried, so he sent Kazami to send another tube of blood to the National Police Agency's Investigation Research Institute for the most detailed and comprehensive examination possible in Japan.

"So, Senior Fūya, you plan to stay with him tonight?" Eto Daizo was surprised. "I heard that you still have a lot of work to do in Kanagawa Prefecture..."

Fūya Ling frowned and interrupted him, "Who told you that?"

Eto Daizo heard the doubt in his tone, and met his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and suspicion. His expression froze for a moment: "I heard from my father. He said that the National Police Agency is investigating domestic art dealers, from Osaka all the way to Kanagawa. They have been investigating for a long time, but there has been no progress..."

"..."

Indeed, Furuya Rei, who had investigated all the way from Osaka to Kanagawa, took a deep breath and forced himself to ignore the irregularities of the Metropolitan Police Department's upper echelons: "This has nothing to do with you, go back quickly."

"Ok."

Eto Daizo nodded hurriedly.

However, just as he turned around and was about to leave, Furugaya Rei suddenly called him again.

"——By the way, Jiang Teng, there is something I forgot to ask you. Did the FBI say anything to you in the hotel earlier?"

Furugaya Rei remembered that when Aoyagi Akimichi came down with two Metropolitan Police Department police officers in the hotel, this junior had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He noticed it at that time, but there were too many follow-up things and he didn't care about it for a while.

Hearing this question, Eto Daizo's body, with his back to him, trembled slightly.

Fūya Rei was instantly alert; he had only asked casually after remembering it, and had not expected to get this kind of reaction.

He stared at the junior who slowly turned around, especially at his expression: "What did Qingliu say?"

Eto Daizo turned around and looked at Furuya Rei. There was no anger or resentment on his face. He smiled awkwardly and quickly looked away as if he had to bring up something embarrassing.

"Nothing. It was just then... uh, the shooting was very close to me, right above my head. It was the first time I heard such dense gunfire at close range. I was a little scared. He might think that I am not suitable to be a police officer."

Jianggu Ling: "..."

A vein quickly popped out on his forehead. He thought of the tragic scene on the hotel rooftop and how the FBI agent came down and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I asked them to come this time. You don't need to pay for it"... His anger rose.

Originally, Aoyagi Akimitsu saved Morifushi Kagemitsu and controlled several members of the organization. Both publicly and privately, Furutani Rei should thank him.

But this FBI diplomat and high-ranking US military contact not only rescued people, he also called in an armed helicopter from the base and strafed a building in public.

With such a big commotion, coupled with the fact that the heat from the recent embassy bombing and the serial killings by retired US soldiers has not completely passed, it doesn't take much of a guessing to know how the media will report it tomorrow.

Considering his special status, the police had tolerated it in the hotel, and Furuya Rei did not get angry at the time. But now, after hearing this, the blond policeman suddenly had an outlet to vent his dissatisfaction:
"Does he really think this is America, where anyone he picks up is used to gunfights every day?! You don't need to pay any attention to that kind of violent bastard."

Seeing Furiya Rei's extremely unhappy expression, Eto Daizo laughed dryly: "I know, Senior."

He turned and hurried away.

Furiya Rei watched him leave, his dissatisfied expression gradually disappeared, and he sighed again.

Just now in Zhufu Jingguang's ward, when Zhufu Gaoming was mentioned, he incidentally recalled the misfortune that happened to someone around him after another undercover was exposed.

The son of a high-ranking official who witnessed his mother's murder in the past was Eto Daizo.

Perhaps because of this experience, Manager Eto doted on him a little. Hiro said that he seemed to have been a bit ridiculous during his youth.

As for how ridiculous it was, this Moruofushi Jingguang didn't know, and Furuya Ling didn't care. After all, they were children of high-ranking officials, and the police would occasionally abuse their power, but they would not abuse it to the point of casually investigating their own high-ranking officials.

But speaking of Witt’s connection back then…

Furiya Rei was not in a hurry to leave. He turned around and looked at the closed ward.

An undercover police agent has frequent contact with only two people within the agency. One is his superior who selected him and gave him the undercover mission, and the other is his daily contact.

Both Witt and his boss have met with accidents. As his contact person back then, Ishigami-senpai is currently safe and sound at home, which is a blessing in disguise.

……

Meanwhile, another place.

The old butler knocked on the door cautiously and entered the office after getting permission.

He saw that his host, who had just finished an impromptu meeting with him, was still sitting in his office chair, not working, but just leaning back in a relaxed manner, looking like he was thinking about something.

"Sir?" he called cautiously.

Goldwasser looked up when he heard the voice and asked, "Has the item been delivered?"

The old housekeeper nodded: "Yes, it has been sent to Miss Belmode. Is there anything else you want me to give her?"

"No, she has helped me a lot. Let her have a good rest tonight."

Thinking of Vermouth's leading the way today, the old butler understood that her betrayal was the key to his master's success, and this rest was a literal rest, not a permanent rest or being discarded after not having to work - unless necessary, Goldwasser rarely did such a shameful thing.

He nodded slightly to his master who had succeeded in taking the throne: "Then I will go back, sir."

The old butler quietly left the room.

Goldwasser sat up straight. He saw the documents on the table, glanced at the new messages that kept popping up on his phone, and sighed helplessly.

He casually threw the three documents in front of him aside and continued to work. (End of this chapter)
