Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

"Ding dong~"

"squeak~"

Rena Mizunashi opened the door and paused for a moment.

She said calmly, "You're the kid who lives at the Mori Detective's house, right? And you..."

Rena Mizunashi looked at Eisuke Hondo and said, "I've already said it, I'm not your older sister."

"Can we go inside and talk?"

Conan looked up at the woman in front of him, his voice low and his tone unusually calm.

The afternoon sun slanted into the corridor.

Rena Mizunashi stood quietly inside the door, backlit, making it impossible to discern the specific expression on her face.

Her gaze first fell on Conan, and then slowly shifted to the boy next to Conan.

Eiyuu was completely frozen at this moment, looking at Mizunashi Rena with a pitiful expression.

A few seconds of silence.

Finally, Rena Mizunashi slightly turned her body and took a step back to make room inside the doorway.

"Please come in."

Hondo Eisuke's expression was complicated when he entered.

Conan immediately asked, "You must be Eisuke Hondo's older sister, right?"

Before Rena Mizunashi could even begin to refute, Eisuke Hondou had already started excitedly saying:

"But my blood type is O, while hers is AB."

“My sister once gave me a blood transfusion, so she also has type O blood.”

"You've become blood type AB now," Conan said calmly, looking at Hondou Eisuke.
"You underwent a bone marrow transplant when you were being treated for leukemia."

"In the transplant surgery, the bone marrow from your sister was a successful HLA match because siblings have a high compatibility of white blood cell antigens."

"After irradiating your blood (type O, which has leukemia) with radiation to destroy it."

"Then you will receive a bone marrow transplant from your sister, who has type AB blood, so your blood type will change from type O to type AB."

"That should be it."

After Conan finished speaking, he stared intently at Rena Mizunashi.

Hondou Eisuke also looked at Mizunashi Rena and whispered:

"Yes, is that so?"

"Yes."

Since Conan had already revealed the truth, Rena Mizunashi had no reason to hide it anymore and could only nod.

Hondo Eisuke's gaze was fixed on that face, his mind completely blank.

Suddenly, his body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

His lips trembled.

"Then why didn't you tell me, and why did you come here under an assumed name to work as a TV announcer?"

“Because she’s a CIA agent,” Conan answered for Rena Mizunashi.

"What are you talking about?" Hondou Eisuke said in disbelief. "How could my sister be a CIA agent like you're talking about?"

“Not only your sister is, but your father is also a CIA intelligence agent,” Conan added.

"Boom~"

Rena Mizunashi poured two glasses of water for Conan and Eisuke Hondo.

She put down her water glass, sat on the sofa, looked at Conan, and said, "What you said is all correct."

Her voice was soft and slightly hoarse.

She leaned back slightly on the sofa, glanced at Conan indifferently, and then looked at Hondo Eisuke with a somewhat complicated expression.

"what?"

Hondo Eisuke still wore an expression of disbelief.

Rena Mizunashi said with a hint of helplessness, "I originally wanted to keep it from him, not wanting him to come looking for me, but..."

But Yingyou still came looking for him.

Conan's lips curled into a smile.

It seemed his deduction was correct, and he then went to inquire about the organization.

"That……"

"Did Sumitomo Shoichi tell you that?"

"what?"

Conan froze, his eyes filled with shock and bewilderment behind his signature black-rimmed glasses.

He opened his mouth slightly, but it seemed he couldn't utter a single word of the question he had wanted to ask.

Why is there suddenly talk about Brother Zhengyi?
He scratched his head, puzzled, and looked at Rena Mizunashi, asking:

"What's the matter, Brother Guan Zheng?"

“Wasn’t he the one who first figured out my identity?” Rena Mizunashi said.

"Aha?"

Seeing Conan's puzzled expression, Rena Mizunashi took out an IOU.

She said, "This is the IOU that Zheng Yi gave me."

Conan and Eisuke both looked at the IOU.

Yingyou's eyes widened.

This IOU looks so familiar; it was written by him.

Rena Mizunashi said, "This suddenly appeared on my table after I got home from work."

The IOU was indeed the one written by Yingyou.

The IOU had been torn up and was stuck back on with transparent tape.

Below the IOU was a note that read:

Actually, I know very well that Eiyu didn't mean to break those artworks, so I never intended for him to pay compensation.

But he was too stubborn, and I couldn't persuade him otherwise, so I had no choice but to accept the IOU.

But I can't accept this money; I'll have to trouble you to pass it on to him.

Because I've uncovered some things and know that your identity is somewhat special.

So please rest assured, I will not reveal your identity.

I'm sorry, but I only looked at Hondo Eisuke because his appearance seemed familiar and he looked a lot like you, so I investigated your background.

Also, no one was home when I arrived, so I had to resort to some unconventional means to place the IOU at your house.

Please understand.

Conan was bewildered after reading the note.

He asked Rena Mizunashi, "When was this IOU delivered?"

Rena Mizunashi stated a date.

Conan's head was completely spinning.

Isn't that the date for visiting the Zheng Yi Ge Art Museum?

It hadn't even been half a day.

Zheng Yi has found Yingyou's sister and delivered the IOU.

It took him a whole week.

Conan suspects that Rena Mizunashi is lying.

Zheng Yi doesn't have any talent in reasoning, how could he possibly be faster than me!

He pulled out his phone, intending to confront Zheng Yi face to face.

"Brother Zhengyi".

"Hey, is that Conan?"

Conan asked, "Shoichi-san, did you know that Rena Mizunashi is Eisuke Hondou's older sister?"

"I know."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Conan asked.

"You didn't ask before."

Conan paused for a moment.

"I see."

Conan hung up the phone, feeling bored.

If Zheng Yi Ge (a nickname) had helped him, he wouldn't have needed to do a week of useless work.

So why didn't he ask Brother Zhengyi for help? It seems that a Blackie suggested it.

"So, it wasn't Shoichi who told you?" Rena Mizunashi asked.

She thought it was Zheng Yi who told the news.

However, judging from Conan's expression, it seems that this kid really did deduce it. "How did you figure out my identity?" Rena Mizunashi asked.

Conan explained his reasoning process to Rena Mizunashi.

Rena Mizunashi listened and couldn't help but nod.

This child is quite clever.

At the same time, Rena Mizunashi was a little scared.

Both Zheng Yi and the child discovered her identity.

Was she not discreet enough?
Wouldn't the organization also notice the unusual nature of her identity?
She looked at Yingyou and said, "But in the end, I still dragged you into danger."

"What danger?" Hondou Eisuke still looked puzzled.

He hasn't quite come to terms with the fact that his sister and father are both CIA members.

“It’s an organization, isn’t it?” Conan said. “Gin and vodka.”

Rena Mizunashi was taken aback.

"I didn't expect you to even know this."

This little child knows more than she imagined.

Rena Mizunashi said, "That's right, I was already worried that Eisuke would come into contact with the organization."

"So, I've hired Detective Mori to handle a doorbell incident."

"For some reason, I lost my contact with the CIA. So I'm going to tell Detective Mouri about the organization and ask him to contact the FBI to protect Eisuke."

"But……"

Rena Mizunashi's face showed a complicated expression:
"But that famous detective looks completely muddle-headed and doesn't seem like a famous detective at all."

"So I gave up hope on him and didn't think he could be of any help."

Then, Rena Mizunashi looked at Conan.

That undeserving famous detective was able to solve so many cases, probably thanks to this kid.

Conan gave an awkward laugh.

Uncle Mori's level of skill is really... well, never mind.

"Then let's talk about the organization," Conan said with a serious expression.

Rena Mizunashi looked at Conan, unsure of what expression to wear.

It was somewhat strange to see a small child discussing organizational matters with me with such a serious expression.

However, Rena Mizunashi still asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Hondo Eisuke stood to one side.

What should have been a touching scene of siblings reuniting has turned into a scene where the younger brother seems to be an outsider, only able to watch Conan and his sister chat about topics he doesn't understand at all.

Conan asked, "Regarding that House of Representatives election, did the organization take any action?"

“That’s right,” Rena Mizunashi said.

“The organization did take action. They instructed me to bring Tumen Kanghui to the park and then kill him with a sniper rifle.”

She had no intention of hiding anything.

Conan nodded.

If there was indeed organized involvement, then Brother Zhengyi wasn't lying.

Conan continued, "What is the organization's purpose?"

Rena Mizunashi said, "Kill Tsuchimon Yasutaka, no, the goal is to make Tsuchimon Yasutaka give up the election."

"But the organization has always preferred to use killing to complete its missions."

Conan frowned.

The organization's purpose was within his expectations, but also somewhat different.

"Is it just targeting Tsuchimichi Koki? What about Tokiwa?" Conan asked.

“The organization has no information regarding Tokiwa,” Rena Mizunashi said.

At that time, the codenamed members of the organization were all working hard to assassinate Tumen Kanghui.

There are no plans targeting Tokiwa.

However, it seems that Tokiwa also died. As for whether it was an operation by the organization?

It should not be.

Conan's eyebrows furrowed.

Although he investigated Tokiwa's death, it indeed had nothing to do with the organization.

But Conan just felt something was off.

Why did the organization target Tsuchimon Kanghui instead of Tokiwa?
Could it be that they had already predicted Tokiwa's death?

Conan continued, "Then who issued this order?"

"I don't know."

Rena Mizunashi thought of the person who might be a man dressed as a woman.

"That person holds a very special position within the organization; they're someone who can disregard Gin and even give him orders," Rena Mizunashi said.

"He is probably a very influential person in Japanese society."

Hearing what Rena Mizunashi said...

Conan's feelings weren't so pleasant again.

The questions asked earlier have proven that Zheng Yi told him the truth, clearing Zheng Yi of suspicion.

But this is just speculation about Mizunashi Rena's small noodles.

It seems like it's targeting Zheng Yi Ge again.

"Isn't it Junji Senzu?" Conan asked.

"That guy who was just elected as a member of parliament?" Rena Mizunashi shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Although the organization's actions benefited that guy.

However, Rena Mizunashi was also unsure of the exact nature of his relationship with the organization.

Conan rubbed his head.

Then, gritting his teeth, he asked directly, "Does Brother Zheng have any connection with the organization?"

Upon hearing this, Rena Mizunashi seemed to realize something and blinked.

"Please tell me," Conan said.

Rena Mizunashi didn't answer Conan's question immediately, but instead asked him in return:
"You've asked me so many questions, now it's your turn to answer one: Who are you?"

"Just a curious elementary school student," Conan said.

Rena Mizunashi shook her head.

Not honest at all.

How could an ordinary, curious elementary school student know so much?

Didn't you see her high school brother, who was still standing there dumbfounded, processing all the information he had received?

"The FBI or the Japanese Public Security Bureau?" Rena Mizunashi asked.

But after asking this question, Rena Mizunashi found it hard to believe.

There shouldn't be such a small number of members in the FBI and the police.

At this age, they should be attending elementary school obediently, not getting involved in such dangerous things.

"No, I'm just a detective with a strong sense of curiosity," Conan said.

He also found himself a powerful backer.

“It was my brother Heiji who investigated this organization,” Conan said.

"Hattori Heiji from Osaka?" Rena Mizunashi whispered the name.

Heiji Hattori is quite famous in Japan.

However, Rena Mizunashi knew the more famous Kogoro Mouri and didn't really trust this renowned detective.

"Then what is the purpose of your investigation organization?" Rena Mizunashi asked.

Conan replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, we should eliminate this evil organization."

“Ha, what a great goal,” Rena Mizunashi said.

You have no idea how enormous an organization is.

A high school student plus an elementary school student is no match for an organization.

"Alright," Conan said, "Now that I've answered your question, shouldn't you answer mine?"

"Is there any connection between the organization and the top leader?"

Rena Mizunashi's lips curled up slightly.

"Even though you make up your answers to my questions on the spot, I will still answer them."

Rena Mizunashi looked at Conan and said with a smile, "The organization and Shoichi are indeed related."

Conan was struck dumb. (End of Chapter)
