Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

"I'm an old man, so I told him not to worry and to take care of his body."

As he spoke, Tanaka Iwae handed the fish-killing knife to Tanaka Shota, "If possible, please give this knife to him as well."

As expected, Shota Tanaka saw his name engraved on the blade.

"Yes, I see. I think he will be very happy if he sees this knife."

"He took the knife, turned around and started crying, and he continued crying even when I left."

Conan concluded, "It's quite touching."

"I was wondering why you were taking so long. It turns out you were wasting your time on this kind of thing."

Seeing that Lu Ren was not moved at all, Conan couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Don't you think this is very touching?"

"No, I just think they are very tired."

"very tired?"

Lu Ren wanted to explain, but then he felt it was unnecessary.

"Forget it, why am I telling you all this? Go home quickly. Doesn't school start tomorrow? Have you done your homework? If not, go home and do it quickly."

"..."

Chapter 478: Take them all away

"Beihu Central Hospital."

In the conference room, Gin threw several documents on the table.

Lu Ren picked up a copy and flipped through a few pages, then said with a smile, "So they hid Keel there. No wonder they haven't found him for so long."

"We have arranged personnel in all hospitals in Tokyo. They report the situation to the organization regularly every day. Everything is normal in other hospitals. Only the organization members in Haido Central Hospital have lost contact with us."

Considering the recent commotion of Glenfiddich, he was probably not aware of the organization's recent actions, so Gin explained a few more words.

"Yeah. That's a good idea."

Although it's a bit slow, it's indeed useful.

"You should thank me for that. I was the first one to know that Kiel was probably seriously injured and was being held in a hospital by the FBI."

The person who said this was Vermouth.

Lu Ren glanced at her and felt that he had learned another trick to slack off.

He usually plays stealthily, but whenever he does something he must make it known to everyone.

"The child who gave you the information seems to have been hidden by the FBI." Gin pointed at Vermouth.

In his opinion, after getting the information, the person should be killed to silence him. Vermouth did not handle this properly.

Vermouth: "He's just a kid. In this situation, it doesn't matter if we just ignore him."

"The FBI has been alerted. They will definitely find a way to transfer Keel to another hospital in a short period of time. We must take action immediately."

Vodka quickly changed the subject and reminded everyone to focus on the main business.

He knew that his elder brother never liked Vermouth's nonchalant attitude.

Especially now that Glenfiddich was also present, this was a major destabilizing factor. If he didn't do something quickly and let the situation develop, he might end up in a mess.

"We have to do something to rescue Keel."

Lu Ren: "Since the FBI has been alerted, if nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely send more personnel to that hospital."

Seeing that it was Glenfiddich who came up with this conclusion, Vodka immediately became alert. He quickly replied, "Yes. If we act rashly, it is very likely that the existence of the organization will be exposed."

"That's even better." Lu Ren had a smile on his face, and he looked happy as if he was going on an outing.

"The more people the better. Leave this to me. I will blow up the entire hospital and wipe out the FBI's effective forces in Japan in one fell swoop."

"Kill them all?!"

Vodka was so shocked that he almost stood up from his chair. He really wanted to point at the other person's nose and curse.

【What nonsense are you talking about! 】

But when he thought that the person who said this was Gryffindy, he instantly calmed down and tried to put forward a different idea in a roundabout way: "But Gil is still in there. Aren't we discussing how to rescue Gil now?"

"People will inevitably die. In the face of equal death, what we should pursue is how to die more meaningfully."

Lu Ren said calmly, "If Kiel knew that she could drag so many FBI agents down with her before she died, I think she would be very happy. I have been her partner for a long time, and I understand her."

"..."

You know nothing!

Hmm? Something seems wrong...

Vodka looked at Gin for help.

"That's a bit too extreme." Gin frowned and rejected Glenfiddich's proposal.

Vermouth is too soft-hearted when doing things, and always leaves some messes unresolved.

Then Glenfiddich is undoubtedly too cruel and ruthless.

Be cruel to yourself and even crueler to others.

The winery's wine manager, who was also his former partner, gave him gifts without hesitation. If this continues for a long time, it will discourage others.

There is even a trend in this direction now.

In addition to these famous wine officials, the participants in this meeting also include a large number of ordinary members and service personnel from the winery's subordinate institutions.

As soon as Lu Ren made this suggestion, Gin could clearly see that most of the members had expressions of reluctance on their faces.

However, due to Glenfiddich's power, they dared not and could not raise any objection.

Gin doesn't think it's their problem, and he won't blame them.

Haido Central Hospital is the largest hospital in Haido Town. Even if the FBI sends more manpower, it will only account for a small part of the total.

The majority of the rest are medical staff, patients and their accompanying family members.

Gin himself felt it was inappropriate to kill so many people in one go, let alone these ordinary members who didn't even have a name for the wine.

In addition, the code name of the wine is what most members dream of. This is not only a symbol of status, but also an affirmation of their ability by the organization.

But what did Glenfiddich do?

In front of so many ordinary members, he mercilessly and casually said that he would send a famous wine cadre to his death.

Members of this level were nothing in his eyes and he could decide their life or death at will.

What do his subordinates think about this?

The lives of the winery cadres are not worth mentioning in his eyes, so the lives of ordinary members like them are even more worthless.

And if that's the case, what's the point of them working so hard?

Work hard, become a famous wine executive, and then be thrown out to die like recyclable garbage by Glenfiddich?

Just think about it and you will know how much this will dampen the enthusiasm of the winery members to work hard.

People have to have hope in life, even if they are members of a criminal organization.

In fact, Gin once had a similar idea vaguely. If he could really use Kiel to replace a large number of FBI people, it would not be a loss at all.

But how to do it specifically is still under consideration.

But after listening to Glenfiddich's proposal, he no longer had this idea for the time being.

Especially after seeing the disappointed expressions of most members, Gin knew even more clearly that even if he agreed in private, he must never express his approval openly.

"The purpose of this operation is to rescue Keel from the FBI. She has made great contributions to the organization. This is also what that gentleman meant."

Gin reiterated the purpose of the action, and in order to ensure that Glenfiddich would no longer raise any objections, he specifically brought that adult out.

The effect is indeed immediate.

Glenfiddich lowered his brows and was very quiet.

Seeing that this trick still worked, Gin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and explained to him in more detail: "There are a large number of civilians in the hospital. If you really do what you want, the commotion will be too big, and it will be difficult to end it."

Seeing that Glenfiddich was still silent, Gin continued: "I already have a plan for what to do..."

……

Let’s go back in time to this morning, at Dr. Agasa’s house.

FBI agent Judy Stelling was invited here.

Conan prepared a pair of slippers for him: "Please come here specially."

"It's okay. It's dangerous to talk on the phone near a hospital."

Then, Judy told Conan the latest information she had obtained from the investigation.

After extensive research, the FBI finally determined the true identity of Hondou Eisuke's father.

Ethan Hondou, a second-generation Japanese American, joined the CIA as a spy 30 years ago, got married in Japan 27 years ago and infiltrated the Black Organization. He died 4 years ago.

"Died?"

"Yeah." Judy solemnly recounted a past event.

Late one night four years ago, in an abandoned warehouse in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, a male homeless man who was sleeping on the second floor as usual was suddenly awakened by gunshots.

He quietly leaned his head out to observe, and found a man lying on the ground with a pool of blood under him. A woman was squatting beside him with a pistol dropped next to her hand.

After a while, two men in black walked into the warehouse. One of them had long silver hair, and the other was still wearing sunglasses even in the middle of the night.

They came to the woman's side, and the man in sunglasses squatted down to check on the man.

The woman quickly explained the situation to the long-haired man.

She caught the man off guard and bit his wrist, then grabbed his gun and shot him.

After the man in sunglasses finished the inspection, the man with long hair asked him to help the woman up. However, the three men did not leave, but chose to ambush in the corner.

After a while, a man ran up to the body and shouted, "Priest! Priest!"

As expected, the man was also killed by the men in black. Then they set fire to the warehouse, and the homeless man took the opportunity to escape.

Shuichi Akai later found the homeless man and questioned him with two photos of a man and a woman.

Because he was too nervous at the time and didn't dare to look at the body, the homeless man was not sure whether the person in the photo was Ethan Hondou. But he was sure that the woman squatting on the ground looked exactly like Mizunashi Rena!

Conan, who suddenly learned the news, was stunned.

Judy didn't realize his abnormality and continued to speak on her own: "The preliminary judgment is that Hondou Eisuke does have a sister who looks exactly like Mizunashi Rena."

"Rena Mizunashi killed her and had plastic surgery to look like her, trying to get close to CIA agent Ethan Hondou and get information from him."

"And Ethan Hondou discovered this, and kidnapped her, trying to extract information about the organization from her. Unfortunately, he accidentally failed and was killed by Mizunashi Rena."

No...that's not the case.

Conan knew that Judy's guess was completely wrong.

Mizuno Rena did not undergo plastic surgery to look like Hondou Eisuke's sister. Rather, she is indeed Hondou Eisuke's biological sister.

Conan himself has verified this.

Given Hondou Eisuke's careless appearance, getting injured and bleeding is a normal occurrence.

Conan easily obtained a blood sample from him and sent it to a special testing agency for testing.

The final test results were the same as what Lu Ren said. Hondou Eisuke was not type O as he thought he was, he was type AB, exactly the same as Mizunashi Rena's blood type!

But to put it this way, Mizuno Rena shot and killed Hondou Eisuke's father. Mizuno Rena and Hondou Eisuke are sisters.

Doesn't that mean that Rena Mizuno killed her own father with her own hands?

Is this a trap set up to gain the trust of the organization?

This horrifying fact gave Conan a vague headache, and at the same time he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should tell Judy the truth.
