Conan Rick's Investigator

After he finished speaking, Hondou Eisuke stopped where he was, frowning with a puzzled expression.

Qin Zhibo also stopped, turned around and looked at him, and explained to him solemnly.

"It was your sister Hondou Eikai who found me and asked me to take you to a safe place."

"My sister?!"

Hondou Eisuke's tone suddenly became fierce, and he clenched his fists and questioned Qin Zhibo, "Do you know my sister? Where is she now?"

Qin Zhibo calmly explained, "You should have noticed it already, right? Your sister is the anchorwoman of Nichimi TV, Rena Mizunashi. That's your sister's current identity."

"Hondou Eikai, and your father, are both CIA agents, ordered to carry out a secret mission in Japan."

"For this mission, they have to hide their identities because if the bad guys know their true identities, their families' lives will be in danger."

"Your father died protecting your sister four years ago. Now your sister is still carrying out this mission, but she cannot complete it for the time being."

"So she entrusted me to take you away from this place to prevent you from being implicated."

Qin Zhibo told Hondou Eisuke all the information that could be made public without any pause or hesitation.

These words were like bursts of thunder, exploding in Hondou Eisuke's ears and head.

Father and sister, are they CIA?

Did my father sacrifice himself to protect my sister?

My sister is Rena Mizunashi...

Among these information, only Hondo Eikai is Mizumu Rena, which Hondo Eisuke had guessed a long time ago.

As for his impression of his father, Yinsen Hondou, Hondou Eisuke remembers that he was taken to Osaka to live with his father and sister after his mother passed away ten years ago.

When he was a child, Hondou Eisuke didn't know why he and his mother had to live separately from his father and sister.

Now, the answer finally comes.

"I didn't expect it to be that CIA..."

Hondou Eisuke swayed weakly, a wry smile on his face. "I heard from the okonomiyaki clerk that my father was a diver or something like that."

"And my father told me he was a pany salesman... So that's neither of them?"

Qin Zhibo patted Hondou Eisuke on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Actually, your father is not wrong. The nickname of the CIA is 'pany'."

After making up his mind to help Rena Mizunoshi reconnect with the CIA, Qin Zhibo also did some serious homework.

CIA is a secret service agency of the United States, referred to as "CIA", also known as "PANY" externally. It carries out its work mainly for the purpose of intelligence work and mainly deals with foreign events.

Therefore, the CIA has relatively little influence within the United States, and without law enforcement powers, its impact on some specific domestic incidents is far less than that of judicial institutions such as the FBI.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo guessed that when Hondou Eisuke's father said that "he" helped the CIA do something, it should be a very specific thing involving a case handled by the FBI.

This time when he went to the United States, Qin Zhibo planned to investigate what case had led to "himself" being able to collude with the CIA.

Suddenly, Hondou Eisuke looked at Qin Zhibo again.

"Mr. Qin, are you also from the CIA?"

Qin Zhibo shook his head and answered truthfully, "No."

"Then what's your relationship with my sister?" Hondou Eisuke's eyes showed a hint of vigilance. "Did she ask you to come find me, just like between a client and a detective?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be very dangerous if my sister was discovered by the bad guys and she hired a famous detective?"

Qin Zhibo paid more attention to Hondou Eisuke's guess. He didn't expect that this little lost brother was actually more meticulous.

And Rena Mizunashi did want to use this method at the beginning.

"Although I'm not from the CIA, I was from the FBI before coming to Japan, and I had some interactions with your father..."

"Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present."

"According to your sister's wish, she wants you to leave here, the farther away the better, preferably leaving Japan..."

Before Qin Zhibo could finish his words, Hondou Eisuke suddenly shouted loudly.

"I do not go!"

"Father, sister, everyone treats me like a child!"

Suddenly, Hondou Eisuke transformed from a mature character into a willful and rebellious kid.

He roared, tears in his eyes, wanting to vent all the loneliness and injustice he had endured over the years.

Qin Zhibo looked at him, just like Mizuno Rena at the beginning, and did not speak immediately.

"Sister is my only relative in this world..."

"As long as she's here, I won't go anywhere..."

As if he had calmed down a bit, Hondou Eisuke's tone became much weaker, but he still showed no intention of giving in.

Qin Zhibo pondered for a moment and felt that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

"Do you want to speak to your sister?"

Hondou Eisuke was stunned for a moment, "But there's no signal here, right?"

Qin Zhibo looked around and saw some dark shadows rustling in the woods in the distance. He knew they were the Suzuki family's men.

"One has to be flexible. Why not just borrow their satellite phone?"

……

Deep in the forest, three figures, two tall and one short, were walking in the darkening forest.

The natural smell of soil and grass did not arouse the interest of Mao Lilan and the long-haired handsome guy in communication, and the two did not speak along the way.

It was not until they had almost walked that the handsome guy with long hair spoke.

"That's enough for here, right? We can go back now."

"Yeah." Mao Lilan responded weakly.

The long-haired handsome guy continued, "When you get back, just tell them you saw the 'Bandaged Man' in the forest, just like last time."

"Yeah." Mao Lilan nodded.

The responses of the two made Conan next to them suddenly remember that this was just acting, and the handsome guy with long hair didn't really want to flirt with the girl this time.

But the script doesn’t include Qin Zhibo going out for a walk, right?

Qin Zhibo and Hondou Eisuke together...

Thinking of this, Conan's face changed, and he suddenly remembered that Qin Zhibo's commission related to the "organization" might be related to Hondou Eisuke.

Oops!

Without saying a word, Conan turned and ran in the direction he came from.

Since Mao Lilan and the long-haired handsome guy were walking very slowly, Conan quickly ran back to the intersection where they had parted and hurriedly chased after Qin Zhibo and Hondou Eisuke.

In an open space, Conan found Hondou Eisuke.

I saw the somewhat thin Hondou Eisuke standing alone in the middle of the open space, holding a large satellite phone in his hand, and apparently he was talking to someone.

As he spoke, he was crying.

Conan frowned, feeling very strange.

He was just about to move forward to see if he could hear anything shocking, when a large hand reached out from behind and pressed on the round head.

Conan's body trembled suddenly, and even his soul shook.

He was very familiar with being attacked from behind.

Conan slowly turned his head and saw the familiar face.

"Uncle Qin, hehe..."

Conan, that hippie smile.

Chapter 971: Meet the Bandaged Man Again

"I said I was lost, do you believe me?"

Looking at the grinning Conan, Qin Zhibo's smile faded a lot, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Uncle believes you, so uncle will take you to find your sister Xiaolan now."

Conan: "..."

Just like that, Conan was picked up by Qin Zhibo with one hand like a little chicken, just like Maori Kogoro often did.

"Um... Uncle Qin, and where is Brother Yingyou?"

"He's on the phone. Wait a moment."

"Oh, who is he calling?"

"Here..." Just when Conan thought his "Ask and Answer" skill had been activated, Qin Zhibo changed the subject and said, "If you guess right, I'll tell you."

Conan rolled his eyes.

Here we go again.

……

Back at the Suzuki family's villa, Sonoko had almost heated up dinner.

Suzuki Ayako dragged her sick body to put dinner on the table, and Qin Zhibo also went over to help.

When she was halfway through, Mao Lilan and the long-haired handsome guy ran in from the entrance, panting.

"There's a bandaged monster in the forest!"

"He's back! Takahashi is back!"

The two of them spoke the lines according to the script one after another and screamed.

"What? Takahashi actually dared to come back!"

"What should we do now? He must be coming back for revenge..."

Everyone else in the villa knew it was a script, so they behaved relatively calmly. Only Suzuki Ayako was so scared that she dropped the plate in her hand.

Snap.

A good plate of sushi fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"what!"

Yuanzi quickly ran over to comfort her sister, saying, "With so many of us here, I don't think he would dare to come over!"

"Let's eat first, then go down the mountain and let the police come and arrest him..."

Yuanzi was very firm and everyone else agreed.

……

The sky outside the window has become completely dark, and the time is perfectly restored to the time when Takahashi Ryoichi controlled the bandaged monster-like puppet and flashed past the window.

The next plan was the same as the original one. The Suzuki family hired an actress who looked like Chikako, pretended to be held captive by the bandaged monster, and flashed past the window.

Then Qin Zhibo chased out, caught the bandaged monster, rescued him, and let Suzuki Ayako see it.

This would create a picture of justice triumphing over evil in her mind, which might even replace the original bad memories.

When everyone sat down at the table, only Suzuki Ayako still looked absent-minded.

But at this time, everyone also found that there was still an empty chair.

"Eh? Where's Eiu-san?"

"Didn't he go out with Mr. Qin?"

Mao Lilan looked at Qin Zhibo, but Qin Zhibo didn't know either.

According to the time, he should have returned by now.

"Could it be that besides being lost in the lake, he also has some direction problems?"
