Conan's other self

Chapter 192 Time flies



"Detective, detective?"

Hearing this answer, Mr. Nishigun was a little surprised, and even forgot that Fengyuan had just missed him.

"I think he saw you coming back from the visual answering machine," Fengyuan continued to say to Mr. Nishijun, facing Haiyuan Ai's somewhat unclear look, "And it only took us about a minute to get up. time…"

"What's going on?"

"That means that person may still be in the room."

"ah?"

"For the sake of your safety, let us take a look in the other room, too?"

Hearing Maplehara's reminder and thinking about the various murder cases he had heard about recently in Tokyo, Mr. Nishigun was a little worried, so he agreed.

There are only two rooms here. The other room is where Mr. Nishigun makes hand-made models, and a garbled word stands out.

The curtains kept moving and the glass door at the back was still open.

This looks like a possible invasion site, but it's not yet nine o'clock, and there are restaurants on both sides of the window, and there are many pedestrians below. If you enter or exit from here, you will easily be discovered by the people below.

So this road doesn't work either.

They observed on the balcony. Maplehara noticed a washing machine placed in the corner of the balcony and took a look at it. When Mr. Nishigun was about to return to the room, Maplehara asked:

"Does anyone have a spare key to this room?"

"Ah, yes, there are three people..."

"What kind of person is that?" Haihara Ai asked, thinking that since he was now Detective Mei, he couldn't keep watching Kudo perform alone...

"One is my ex-girlfriend Zaozhi, who hasn't returned the key to me yet. The other two are friends who play model together, Duohu and Guzhuang... The model assembly competition is about to begin, and I asked those two people to help. In order to facilitate entry and exit, we provided them with keys..."

Mr. Xijun replied, and then helped to explain, "But these people are not the kind of people who can break into empty doors, right?"

"Among the two friends who are playing with models, is one of them not very tall?" Fengyuan asked.

Haiyuan Ai glanced at Fengyuan with some confusion, then noticed the washing machine behind Fengyuan, and his expression became strange.

"Duohu is just a little man," Mr. Xijun replied, "even shorter than Zaozhi, less than 1.5 meters... But how do you know?"

"Then...should I call him and ask?"

"Ah?" Mr. Xijun was stunned for a moment, "At this time, it's better to call the police first..."

"The police officer will also investigate him. After all, he is a friend you play with, so you should ask first, right? Besides, you can know who the intruder is with just a phone call..."

"Well…"

Before Mr. Xijun could figure out the situation, he was bombarded with a series of messages, which made him a little dizzy, so he agreed.

But just as he took out his cell phone from his pocket, he was shocked to find the washing machine shaking out of the corner of his eye.

Fengyuan also thoughtfully turned aside and looked away, and together they watched a short man get out of the washing machine.

"M-Lake!"

The man hung his head in shame.

He hurriedly ran all the way to the washing machine and hid, but he didn't think of turning off his cell phone in time.

Even if the sound is muted, his voice will be heard by the few people staying on the balcony, and he will still be suspected if he does not reply.

So he struggled for a while and decided to "surrender".

Back in the room together, Duo Hutu sat down and began to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Zong Bing!"

"What's going on?" Mr. Xijun asked.

Duohu explained.

It turned out that Duohu bought a very well-made tank model abroad, and because of some small thoughts, he deliberately put his own label on the model to show off in front of his friends.

It turned out that the tank model was photographed by Mr. Nishigun and planned to upload it to the blog, so Duohu wanted to find an opportunity to delete the photos.

Haiyuan Ai didn't care about this man's inexplicable operation or the subsequent scenes, but asked Fengyuan softly: "How did you know he was hiding in the washing machine? Did you hear it again?"

"Not entirely." Fengyuan replied, "There was also sweat dripping on the floor of that room. Judging from the distance, he was not looking for anything there but went straight to the balcony. It was too obvious to escape from the balcony. …”

The other party was in a hurry, had a clear purpose, and there happened to be a washing machine on the balcony, so Fengyuan became suspicious. When he suddenly mentioned people of short stature, the breathing sound in the washing machine became more obvious.

"Then why don't you doubt that woman?"

"It's unlikely that someone who fails to return the key in time after a breakup would hide in the washing machine just for a photo..." Fengyuan explained, "Besides, you already know where the person is anyway, so it's all the same..."

The only difference is whether the other party comes out on his own initiative or someone else finds him out.

While talking, Mr. Xijun and Duohu also communicated, and Duohu told him that he had left a backup of the photos. Mr. Xijun chose to forgive and decided not to call the police.

Dr. A Li then intervened and asked about the photo.

Photo albums that could not be found before are also in Duohu's hands.

"good."

Mr. Xijun agreed, then turned to Duo Hu, who still looked ashamed, "Hey, come and help find that photo too!"

"Which photo?"

"It's the photo of a regular customer who has a good relationship with my grandfather."

"Ah, that's the man who has been bringing his son here!"

Tahu has obviously known Mr. Nishigun for many years, and also knows Hondo Eiyu's father. Maplehara asked about this and learned that Tahu was actually Mr. Nishigun's classmate when he was studying in college in Osaka.

"He often took me there," Duohu said, "the okonomiyaki shop run by Grandpa Zongbing...and then Grandpa introduced me to it, saying that this person was his most important customer."

He then looked at Mr. Nishigun who was rummaging through the photo like him, "That person seems to know how to dive, right?"

"Huh? Didn't you say it was the Maritime Self-Defense Force?"

"Did that person say it himself?" Fengyuan asked.

"No," Duo Hu shook his head, "I dropped my change when I was checking out in that store... It happened to roll near that person's table, and I heard it when I went to pick it up... He said that he was finally about to dive in …”

"Dive down?"

"I used to make tanks, warships, etc. when I was a kid... So when I heard this, I thought it was a submarine. I asked Grandpa Zong Bing and he said he was just an ordinary company employee, so I wondered if it was a submarine. How about going diving with colleagues from his company?”

"Company colleagues? Are they those foreigners?"

"You know that too? Oh, I heard that you are also acquaintances... yes... they are those foreign men wearing dark clothes," Duo Hu continued, "It seems that they are going to challenge the very dangerous sea area... the people around them They all told him..."

After recalling it, Duohu continued: "Good Luck, No pain, no gain."

While he was talking, he was looking for a photo, and when he finished speaking, he happened to find the photo, "Oh! Is this it?"

"That's right, that's it."

Xi Jun came over to confirm, Feng Yuan also leaned over to look at the photo, and Haiyuan Ai stood behind him and looked at the photo.

Most of the photos were posted very close, and belonged to the face of Hondo Eyou when he was a child. In the gap between his hands and his head, a man dressed in black and with a serious face could just be seen.

Just looking at the photo, this person gives off the impression that he is not an ordinary person.

"Is that person really an ordinary company employee?"

"Yes, grandpa said so."

Mr. Nishigun replied, "That person is a company employee...employed by the company..."

"They don't even know which company it is..."

On the drive home, the doctor expressed regret.

He took the initiative to help Feng Yuan ask for specific information about the so-called company, but neither of them knew the details, which almost made the other party suspect the purpose of their trip.

Fortunately, Feng Yuan managed to cope with it in the end.

"Didn't they make it very clear?" Haiyuan Ai looked at the photo in his hand. As a thank you for solving the incident, Mr. Nishigun directly gave the photo to them, "It's the company..."

"Huh?" The doctor was a little confused.

"Those friends of his are all foreigners, doctor," Fengyuan explained, "Don't they still have that English sentence? So they should be from English-speaking countries, and the company must also be understood as Company..."

"Oh, I do know this in English..."

"Just like the FBI is called the Secret Service," Haihara Ai took over and helped explain, "the company is also a common name..."

"ah?"

"It is an intelligence agency of the United States that is responsible for the implementation of national policies and the collection of intelligence and other foreign affairs, and is directly led by the president..."

"The abbreviation is CIA."

"C-CIA!" The doctor suddenly realized.

"That means the father of the child named Yingyou is an American spy, right?" Haihara Ai looked at Fengyuan and handed the photo back to him.

"Yeah, it's very possible..."

"What about Mizuki Reina?" Haibara Ai then asked, "If she is really the sister of the child named Yingyou, she may also be a member of the CIA, right?"

"yes…"

"Then, doesn't that mean..." the doctor said worriedly.

"You wanted to arrest members of the organization, but in the end you caught an undercover agent sent by the CIA into the organization..." Haihara Ai said, "In this way, not only will you offend the organization, but you may also offend the CIA..."

"Anyway, I don't think the CIA will be one of our own..."

"But, since they infiltrated those guys, they should be... uh... good people, right?" the doctor said.

"There may be some good people in there, but as a whole, they have nothing to do with the word good people, doctor." Maplehara put away the photo, "If the FBI can be trusted, then the CIA is completely different."

"They have a reputation for doing whatever it takes to achieve their goals."

"This, this is it..."

"Then what?" Haiyuan Ai asked Fengyuan, "What are you going to do?"

"If you really arrest the wrong person...then give it back."

Maplehara then called both Conan and Hattori and informed them of the newly obtained clues and speculations.

A new victim appeared in the case Conan encountered, and it was difficult to escape for the time being. Maplehara called Judy again and asked her to meet nearby.

After exchanging new developments, Fengyuan handed the photo to Judy and asked her to continue investigating the matter of Eyu's father. Because of the special identity of the other party, it is obviously easier and safer for Judy and the others to investigate than Maplehara and Conan.

The FBI's investigation soon yielded results.

The man in the photo is Eiyu Hondo's father, whose real name is Ethan Hondo. He is a second-generation Japanese-American who joined the CIA as an intelligence officer thirty years ago.

Twenty-seven years ago, he got married in Japan and lurked to investigate the black organization. Four years ago, Ethan Hondo was murdered in an abandoned warehouse in Yokohama.

There was a witness at the scene who was not found at the scene. He was a homeless man sleeping on the second floor of the warehouse. Based on the information he provided, they also deduced what happened.

It seems that the woman suspected of being Rena Minami was interrogated by Ethan Hondo in that warehouse. She took the opportunity to bite the other man's wrist, took the gun and shot him upward from the lower jaw, killing him.

Then another man arrived, shouting "Hondo" next to Ethan Hondo's body. Immediately afterwards, two people suspected of gin and vodka arrived at the scene, and the man also committed suicide.

In this way, if Reina Mizuno is really the sister of Hondo Eiyu, it means that she killed her biological father with her own hands.

Later, during the follow-up investigation, they discovered that Reina Mizuno had mentioned in the live broadcast that she had type AB blood, while Hondo Eiyu himself had type O blood.

This made Conan think that the two were not siblings, and further suspected that Reina Mizunashi might be someone from the organization pretending to be one.

However, after hearing Hondo Eiyu claiming that the blood flowing in his body was his sister's, Feng Yuan suggested that leukemia might cause the change in blood type.

Using this as the direction of their investigation, they learned that Eiyu Hondo had indeed undergone leukemia surgery and that her sister had donated bone marrow. In the end, they confirmed that Reina Mizuno was a member of the CIA.

The next step is to return Shui Wu Lina.

The people in the organization have also been using Eyu Hondo to find Reina Mizuno, who is suspected of being comatose and hospitalized due to a car accident.

In order to hide from the organization and prevent Reina Mizuno's true identity from being exposed to the organization, Maplehara, Conan and Shuichi Akai discussed it, and after communicating with Reina Mizuno, decided to use a flaw to successfully let Gin and others reveal it. Shui Wu Liannai took it back.

After that, Gin asked her to lie about the rebel organization trapping Shuichi Akai because she didn't trust Reina Mizuno.

This was also what they expected.

Afterwards, Hondo Eiyu, who successfully recognized his sister, also decided to study in the United States and wanted to join the CIA like his father and sister.

The matter has almost come to an end.

Today is another rainy day.

It has been raining continuously since morning.

Whenever members of the organization show up, the weather seems to be bad... I always have a feeling that it will be the same today...

Fengyuan thought to himself, carrying his schoolbag and heading to Yuantai's shoe cabinet with the elementary school students to check whether there was a commission letter inside.

"There's nothing in there..." Yuantai, who dug into his shoes, felt a little depressed.

"Today's commission is also zero..."

"It's so boring..."

"However, doesn't this also mean that life is peaceful?" Haiyuan Ai said.

"Yes, how can there be incidents every day..."

The primary school students were discussing, and Maplehara noticed that his cell phone was vibrating and walked aside to answer the call.

Haiyuan Ai glanced at Fengyuan, and then chatted with the elementary school students to prevent them from leaving immediately. Conan, who realized what he was talking about, followed him directly and leaned into Maplehara's ear to listen to the call together.

It's an unknown number.

Maplehara didn't mind Conan listening.

"HI! Cool boy! Have you just finished class?" After answering the phone, a familiar voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Teacher Judy?" Fengyuan said, "Did you change your number?"

"Yeah, my phone broke, so I bought a new one... It was like changing my mood, so I used a new number! Of course, I found a way to tell the number to her who was infiltrating the organization... She called right away... "

"Her? Are you talking about Mizuna Reina?"

This is what Conan asked.

In order to keep his voice as low as possible and prevent others from hearing it, Conan directly leaned into Fengyuan's ear and spoke into the phone.

This made Fengyuan feel a little awkward, so he simply handed the phone to Conan. Anyway, he can hear it himself from the side.

"yes…"

Judy replied, seemingly unaware that another person had just spoken. "She finally found the opportunity to call. It was a very short sentence, but she said it clearly, and the new members of the organization started to take action.

It is said that the other party is very good at intelligence collection, has strong observation and insight, and is an expert in search. His code name is..."

Judy paused, "Bourbon!"

Another familiar code name.

Feng Yuan looked at Hai Yuan Ai who was chatting with elementary school students, and listened to Judy on the other side of the phone reminding him:

"Be careful...that's what she said...from her nervous tone, it sounds like the other party should be difficult to deal with, and his target is probably...the brown-haired girl known as Shirley in the organization..."
