Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 366 Siblings
"Kyogoku Makoto easily advanced to the semifinals, setting a new winning streak record. The semifinals and finals will be held next week, but no matter how you look at it, Kyogoku Makoto possesses an unparalleled level of strength..."

Dr. A Li's house.

When Gao Mo returned from Beika Park, he also arranged to meet Hondo Eisuke at the doctor's place.

The best solution for this case is actually to arrange a witness protection program for Hondo Eisuke through the FBI.

But I doubt that Hondo Eisuke would be willing to change his appearance.

Then we can only tell the child the truth first and see what their choice is.

Should I stay in Tokyo or go back to my old school?

"Kido-kun, are you willing to take my request?"

Hondo Eisuke walked into the office with a serious expression, adopting the way Ran and the others addressed him, and had a sharp look in his eyes. However, he soon stepped on the carpet and fell face-first into the mud, revealing his true form.

"I've saved up a lot of money. If I can find my sister, I can give it all to you..."

"What kind of person is your sister?" Gao Mo reached out and pulled Hondo Eisuke up.

"What kind of person?" Hondo Eisuke gestured with his fingers. "The kind who's very gentle. When I was little, I was always clumsy like that and often got sick. My older sister would always carry me to the hospital. She even said she wanted to be a nurse when she grew up..."

Hondo Eisuke's expression darkened slightly: "But ten years ago, my sister suddenly ran away from home. I was seriously injured that time, and my sister gave me a large amount of blood. After I was discharged from the hospital, my sister disappeared."

Although I don't know why, I really want to see her again and thank her in person. I'm so grateful to my sister for making me alive..."

As he spoke, Hondo Eisuke quickly took out a photograph from his person.

"This is an old photo of my sister. She looks a bit like the famous female host Rena Mizunashi, but it's not her."

Why don't you think so?

Gao Mo took the photo and glanced at it.

She's a very sunny and cute girl, just like Rena Mizunashi. She doesn't seem to have changed much in the past 10 years.

"The name Rena Mizunashi may just be a stage name."

“It absolutely can’t be her,” Hondo Eisuke said with a smile, but his fingers clenched tightly. “Because I’m blood type O, while this Mizunashi Rena is blood type AB. If she were my older sister, she wouldn’t be able to give me a blood transfusion, right?”

"But that's just how it is."

Gao Mo tossed the information that Ai had compiled to Hondou Eisuke.

"When you were a child, you underwent a bone marrow transplant to treat leukemia. The bone marrow used was from your sister. According to the blood transfusion records, you are now blood type AB."

"How could this be?" Hondo Eisuke flipped through the documents in disbelief.

“Rena Mizunashi, who is also your older sister, is actually a CIA intelligence agent. She is currently on a dangerous mission, so she specifically entrusted us to protect you and prevent you from getting any closer to her.”

Gao Mo said frankly.

"Actually, it's not just your sister, your father is too. They both infiltrated the criminal organization as undercover agents to investigate, which is why they changed their names. Starting four years ago, it was actually your sister who sent you living expenses every month. Your father has already sacrificed himself."

"My father... he's dead?"

The documents in Hondo Eisuke's hands were scattered on the ground.

"Isn't this absurd? What organization? What undercover agents? And how did my father die?"

"It's better if you only know this much. That's all your sister has told us."

Gao Mo crossed his arms.

"It seems she pretended to be someone else because she didn't want to get you involved, but it backfired. You still came looking for her, and today you almost barged into the scene of the operation."

"The scene of the operation?" Hondo Eisuke asked, taken aback. "What's the connection between today's interview and the suicide attempt?"

"You'll have to ask your sister, but I think it's best if you don't cause her any trouble, unless you want her to be exposed and silenced."

Gao Mo picked up the documents that had fallen to the ground.

"So what are your plans now? We promised your sister we'd protect you, that's why we told you the truth. We don't think you're stupid enough to kill your sister." "That sounds strange."

Hondo Eiyu glanced at Gao Mo, puzzled.

He's certainly not stupid.

"Can I stay here? I heard there's a high school detective from Osaka working part-time here, and I'd like to..."

"Don't even think about it."

Gao Mo resolutely refused.

Putting aside this guy's unlucky constitution, the fact that Vermouth is still at the agency makes it impossible for him to stay.

The siblings look so alike that Vermouth, with her keen senses, will notice something amiss sooner or later.

Following the clues, it was easy to trace back to the Hondo family and discover that the CIA agent who died four years ago was actually Rena Mizunashi's father.

Although Vermouth will most likely choose to keep it a secret, it's better to avoid this kind of trouble altogether.

"Whether it's the CIA or any other organization, don't mention it to anyone else in the future," Gao Mo reminded him. "No matter who you're facing, even if it's your sister, pretend you don't know anything."

"why?"

"Because there is a thousand-faced witch in the organization who is good at disguise, you may not be able to tell the real from the fake."

Gao Mo crossed his fingers.

"It's not impossible for you to stay in Tokyo, but you have to cooperate with me to put on a show and make it a 'fact' that Rena Mizunashi isn't your sister."

“I might not be very good at acting,” Hondo Eisuke took a deep breath. “What should I do?”

"When you come to my house for dinner later, just pretend to be a fan of Rena Mizunashi. It'll be a good opportunity to patch up your actions these past few days."

"what?"

Hondo Eisuke looked completely bewildered.

Why didn't he understand?
Who is this performance meant for?
“I understand,” Hondo Eisuke quickly gathered his thoughts. “Actually, you can rest assured. I’ll go to the United States to study in a while, and then I’ll try to join the CIA like Dad and my sister, and work hard to fight bad guys. Maybe one day I can fight that criminal organization with my sister!”

Gao Mo was speechless.

The CIA is not some justice agency; its actions against the distillery are entirely for the benefit of the United States.

Did this guy get it mixed up?
In his view, the siblings' father was completely brainwashed; otherwise, he wouldn't have put his daughter, who was unsuitable to be a spy, into the CIA.

Putting "gentleness," "kindness," and espionage together is too incongruous.

Perhaps being a nurse or a TV presenter would be the right path for Rena Mizunashi.

Now, however, he must shoulder his father's last wish and become a little lamb disguised as a big bad wolf.

I wonder what Rena Mizunashi would think if she knew her younger brother also wanted to join the CIA.

"You should stay in Tokyo."

Gao Mo shook his head.

He didn't think getting this guy into the CIA was part of the commission.

It can hardly be considered protection, can it?

"You're willing to take me in?" Hondo Eisuke asked in surprise.

"What are you thinking? I just think it would be better for you to stay at Teitan High School."

Gao Mo promptly interrupted Hondo Eisuke's unrealistic ideas.

A naturally ditzy girl might be interesting, but a naturally ditzy boy is another story, not to mention he's got a knack for bad luck. The agency finally managed to change their luck thanks to Ai Haibara, so don't let this guy ruin it.
