Conan, but the winery

"What about the other Onimaru? What is his relationship with this Freya?" Kogoro Mouri continued to ask.

Two Onimares appeared in El Pharmaceutical yesterday. The first one, Freya, was arrested by the police and then released, while the second one managed to escape after taking the blue gem. Judging from the voice of this person at the time, the second Onimare should be a male.

This man and this woman appeared almost at the same time yesterday, both wearing Onymar suits, and their target was the same blue gem. It's hard not to suspect that they are in the same group.

"As for Onimare No. 2, the police have not found any clues yet. After stealing the blue gem yesterday, he has not appeared again. However..."

Changing the subject, Officer Megure continued, "We also questioned Freya yesterday about this. Although she did not tell the police the identity of Onimare No. 2, she did say something..."

"What?"

"She told us to stop him as soon as possible, but she wouldn't say what we wanted to stop specifically."

"It sounds like they are planning something horrible?"

"That should be it, anyway..." Megure Jusan drank the water in the cup, stood up and looked at Maori Kogoro, and said: "After all, this matter involves diplomacy with other countries, and it is not easy for the police to intervene directly.

I came here today hoping that you can continue to investigate, Maori. If you need any help from the police during this process, please let me know and I will try my best to help you. Please."

After many years of police career, Megure Juzo is keenly aware that there may be some shocking conspiracy behind the Onimare incident.

However, due to many complex reasons, the police were reluctant to get too deeply involved in this incident, and even had to release Freya, an important suspect who had been arrested with great difficulty.

So, after much deliberation, Megure Juzo could only choose to seek help from forces other than official ones, and in his eyes, the most suitable candidate was none other than Mori Kogoro.

Although this brother was not very reliable during his previous career, he always made simple things complicated for no apparent reason.

But I have to say that this brother of his is still reliable at certain critical moments.

Especially recently, Kogoro Mouri seemed to be blessed. Both his intelligence and reasoning abilities began to improve rapidly. When he was handling cases, he was like a completely different person.

It will definitely not be wrong to leave this matter to him.

Of course, Megure Jusan also hoped that all this was just his worrying...

"Hey, Officer Megure." At this moment, Conan suddenly asked, "Have you asked Sister Carly from El Pharmaceutical about the blue gem?"

Carly, a newly recruited researcher at El Pharmaceuticals, has a simple personality, is a chatterbox, and has a social compulsion. Yesterday, she served as a guide for Kogoro Mori and his group.

In fact, when Conan first met Carly yesterday, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this enthusiastic foreign woman.

It was not until he solved yesterday's murder that he finally noticed the abnormality of this foreign woman.

After Conan used "Sleeping Kogoro" to expose the real murderer, the murderer forced the police to retreat and escaped, trying to get rid of their arrest. At that time, many people, including Conan, chased after him.

Then Kaito Kidd appeared with a blue gem in his hand and subdued the murderer. Then the two Onimares appeared one after another, trying to fight for the blue gem in Kaito Kidd's hand. The scene was chaotic for a while, and finally Onimare No. 2 took the blue gem, Onimare No. 1 Freya was arrested by the police, and Kaito Kidd escaped.

After the chaos at that time was completely settled, Conan immediately realized that the blue gem that he had originally ignored might carry a special secret unknown to everyone.

He originally wanted to ask Carly, a researcher, about some matters concerning the gems, but then he discovered that Carly had disappeared.

That's right, disappear.

She was present when Conan was deducing the murderer, and even cooperated with his reasoning, but after everyone chased the murderer out, she disappeared.

Not only could they not find her anywhere, even the employees in the company couldn't contact her.

At that time, Conan was keenly aware that something was wrong, but the police were focusing on Onimaru and Kaito Kid at the time, so they didn't pay much attention...

"Oh, Conan, are you asking about Carly, the researcher at El Pharmaceutical?"

Instantly remembering the person Conan was asking about, Inspector Megure frowned and replied seriously: "This person may be problematic..."

"has a problem?"

"So many things happened at El Pharmaceutical yesterday. Our police also summoned and questioned all their employees one by one afterwards. But this Carly...she is missing."

"What do you mean?" Kogoro Mouri asked hurriedly.

“Literally, she’s missing, and the contact information she left at their company doesn’t allow her to be contacted at all.

After that, we investigated and found that even the documents she used to apply for the job were fake, and it is very likely that the identity of Carly did not exist at all."

[Is that so…]

After hearing what Inspector Megure said, Conan lowered his head with a very serious expression.

Although he was somewhat happy that Inspector Megure had confirmed his guess, he couldn't help but feel a little scared when he thought that they had been with such a dangerous person whose identity was completely unknown yesterday morning.

Could those deceptively innocent faces also be disguised by this mysterious foreign woman?

Why did she appear there? And why did she suddenly disappear?

"Brother Maori, you should be careful when investigating. I always feel that this Carly might be related to Onimare. You'd better not fall into her trap." Inspector Megure said meaningfully.

"Don't worry, Officer Megure. When it comes to major issues, I, Kogoro Mouri, will never be tempted by beauty! Just leave this matter to me!" Kogoro Mouri replied, patting his chest.

"Well, please, I have other things to do today, so I'll leave first..."

"Hello! Officer Megure!"

Just like that, Megure Juzo left, and in the office, Mouri Kogoro leaned back on the sofa with a frown on his brows.

"What's wrong, Uncle Maori?" Conan asked curiously as he looked at him.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just feel like I've seen the Andrew Kingdom that Inspector Megure just mentioned somewhere before. It looks familiar..."

"Ugh?"

"hiss!"

As he was thinking about it, Kogoro Mori suddenly looked up and found the text message that Karasuma Ying sent him in the middle of the night the day before yesterday.

"I remember now! Isn't this Andrew Kingdom the place where Xiaoying went on leave?"

ha?!"

Chapter 189 I Don't Care

"You are...Officer Sato?"

At Beika International Hospital, Shirakawa Shizuka, who was sitting at the nurses' station, met Sato Miwako again today, following yesterday.

"Are you here to see that patient today as well?" she asked.

"Well, it's necessary for the investigation..." Sato Miwako leaned on the nurse station with one hand and asked with a smile: "How is Ms. Judy doing today?"

"Her physical condition is not good. She will need at least half a month of recuperation to fully recover." Bai Hejing replied.

In fact, this is a lie. With Judy's current physical condition, if normal medical care is guaranteed, she will be able to be discharged from the hospital in a week at most. If it's faster, it may even only take three or four days.

So Shirakawa Shizuka slightly replaced some of Judy's daily drips, intentionally and manually extending the time it would take for her to recover.

A weak bait that helps them catch the big fish.

Shirakawa Jing was not worried that Judy would be suddenly transferred away by some external force, because there was no possibility of implementing this at all.

Judy and James were originally sent in by the Metropolitan Police Department. To a certain extent, they are still under the control of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Therefore, for people within the Japanese government, even if the Japanese Public Security Bureau came in person to transfer the two people, they would need to communicate with the Metropolitan Police Department in advance.

There is no possibility that the Japanese police can directly come and take people away without going through the Metropolitan Police Department. This is a serious violation of the government's rules of conduct.

For a large government agency, it is extremely important to abide by the rules. Everything must follow procedures and you can't just mess around.

Even within less legal organizations, there are corresponding rules for this.

As long as it passes through the Metropolitan Police Department, the organization will immediately receive relevant information, and Shirakawa Shizuka will have enough time to react.

Therefore, she was not worried from the beginning that she would be pressured by the government to forcibly separate Judy and James from the organization's control.

Because whether it is the Japanese government or the FBI, their attempts to use government power to exert pressure were not at all sudden for the organization.

As long as they lose the advantage of being the first to take the initiative, everything they do will be completely meaningless.

For Bai Hejing, it didn't take her even half a minute to deal with Judy and James.

She didn't need to think about how to face the pressure from the government, nor did she need to think about how to keep Judy and James under the pressure from the government, because her purpose in keeping these two people was to wait for the FBI who survived that night to come to her.

Once this fundamental goal cannot be achieved, once she finds out that the FBI will not come, she will immediately get rid of Judy and the other person who have lost their value.

As for possible subsequent government accountability?

So what's there to worry about?

At worst, we can just give away this hospital.

It was just a hospital. Anyway, all the procedures of this hospital were done perfectly. She was not worried at all that the Japanese government or the FBI would find any evidence from this hospital that might threaten the foundation of the organization.

One hospital is not a loss at all to the organization.

So from the beginning, this was an unequal game.

Bai Hejing left Judy and the other two behind as baits. Once she confirmed that the baits could not achieve the effect she expected, she would immediately get rid of the two baits.

Therefore, for the FBI, if they really want to rescue Judy and the other two, their only option is to raid and launch a sudden rescue operation against the hospital. This is the only way.

Because with any other possibility, Bai Hejing would have enough time to deal with Judy and the other person directly.

She didn't even bother to interrogate them. Becoming bait was the only reason she allowed these two people to live until today.

She believed that the excellent commander of the FBI would understand what she meant.

As long as he still wants to rescue Judy and the other two alive, his only choice is to be forced by Bai Hejing to enter the game that Bai Hejing has designed for him long ago and play a battle that is fundamentally unfair.

You care about their life or death, but I don't care.

The situation before both sides remained unchanged from that night, and the organization was still on that high-hanging helicopter.

Of course, it didn't matter even if the commander didn't understand what she meant.

As I said, Shirakawa Jing just wanted to expand the results of the battle as much as possible. If this goal cannot be achieved, she can just deal with Judy and the other two and then end it.

Especially the old man named James. When her father pretended to be Judy to get information that night, the other party, Shuichi Akai and another FBI agent, inadvertently exposed the unusual identity of this man.

Being able to get rid of James is a good result in itself, so she will make a profit no matter what she does.

"Does she need to continue to stay in the hospital...How is her mental state these two days?" Sato Miwako continued to ask in front of the nurse station.

"She often stays in a daze for a long time, but other than that she doesn't have any abnormal reactions." Bai Hejing replied.

"What about the old gentleman who was sent in with her? How is he doing now?"

"That old man is still in danger of death."
