A group of people dressed up as Conan characters, and I guaranteed the Black Team's advancement
82. The Darkest Nightmare 11
There weren't many patients at the police hospital. Conan arrived at the hospital as promised that afternoon, but he wasn't alone. He was accompanied by three members of the Junior Detective League.
Conan arrived just as Curaçao finished her afternoon check-up, so Rei Furuya had Sakuro Rin and Yuya Kazami, who had accompanied her, take Curaçao directly to see Conan.
"You're the Conan Edogawa that Mr. Amuro mentioned?" Kazami Yuya clearly hadn't expected that the person Furuya Rei would take so seriously was a child.
"It's me." Conan, not seeing Rei Furuya, wondered, "Why haven't I seen Mr. Amuro?"
“Mr. Amuro happened to be busy this afternoon, and Kazami and I happened to bring Curaçao for a check-up. Mr. Amuro asked us to bring her to see you after the check-up,” Conan explained in his usual gentle voice.
"Big sister, we've come to see you!" Three children following behind Conan appeared from behind him, and Ayumi held up the desserts she had bought from Poirot Cafe.
Curaçao was clearly slightly taken aback when he saw the three of them.
Kazami Yuya frowned when he saw the three children and said with some displeasure, "What's wrong with these three kids?"
Conan scratched his head awkwardly: "Sorry, I didn't expect them to follow me."
He truly hadn't expected that after overhearing his phone call with Amuro Tooru that morning, these three children would secretly follow him. Conan only discovered them after arriving at the hospital.
"We've come to visit our older sister. Can we keep her company?" Ayumi looked up, her face innocent. Of course, they had no idea what kind of person the other was.
Curaçao's gaze towards Conan and the others shifted repeatedly. While she felt somewhat touched, she no longer trusted them. Leaving aside the three children who were still confused about the situation, let's just talk about the boy named Conan. Clearly, he wasn't an ordinary child. He had previously said he wouldn't hand her over to the police, but after the police arrived, he hadn't uttered a single word.
She had initially tried to trust these people—the cat-eyed boy, the familiar blond young man, and the woman who seemed somewhat dangerous—for the sake of the child. But now… they were all liars!
Lin Shengsu glanced at the three children. He remembered Jiang Jin reminding him and Kitano Yi that they had to keep Curaçao away from Conan and the others!
Seeing that Kazami Yuya was also somewhat at a loss as the little girl pestered him, he stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, little sister. You can't see this older sister; this is our police job. Okay, I'll have someone take you home."
Lin Shengsu's voice was gentle, his expression kind, but his tone left no room for doubt.
Conan shrugged at them; after all, he didn't want the three children there either. Rin-suke arranged for the police to take the children back, and then had someone bring Curaçao back to the ward. He himself watched Kazami Yuya answer Conan's questions, things that Furuya Rei had already prepared.
Not far away, unnoticed by anyone, a person wearing a hat and sanitation worker's clothes walked by with their head down, pushing a cart full of cleaning tools.
As darkness fell, the number of people in the hospital decreased.
In the dead of night, as the police officers guarding Curaçao's hospital room were changing shifts, a figure flashed into Curaçao's room with incredible speed.
The ward was dark and quiet. The person who entered was wearing a cleaning worker's uniform and a mask. Only a pair of beautiful, sharp cat-like eyes were visible above the mask. The person walked step by step towards Curaçao's bed, a sharp scalpel sliding out of his sleeve and being held steadily in his hand.
Curaçao, for my brother and me to survive, you have no choice but to die. This person was none other than Kir, who had secretly followed Conan into the police hospital.
The person on the bed was motionless, seemingly asleep, but Kiel vaguely sensed something was wrong. As she gripped the scalpel and slowly approached, a hand suddenly grabbed her from behind, and a voice immediately whispered, "Sister, stop!"
The word "sister" made Gil pause. She turned around in surprise and could barely make out the other person's outline in the darkness.
But this only made him more shocked: "Eiyu, what are you doing here!"
"I……"
Before Hondou Eisuke could explain, the door to Curaçao's ward was suddenly opened. Led by Kazami Yuya, followed closely by Kitano Ichiro and Rin Sakuya with the others.
The ward was suddenly packed with people.
Kiel yanked off the covers, and there was no Curaçao on the bed, but a policeman already holding a gun.
"I've been tricked!" Kiel immediately thought to himself.
Seeing this scene, Hondo Eisuke tensed up, a hint of fear creeping onto his face. He thought to himself, "Doyago wasn't lying after all; someone really is plotting against my sister."
Kazami Yuya stared coldly at the two people who had entered the ward, and once again felt a surge of admiration for his superior.
As expected, Mr. Amuro's prediction came true; he indeed apprehended the suspicious individuals. He then waved his hand dismissively: "Take them both away!"
In the brightly lit lounge, Kir was handcuffed to a chair with her hands behind her back. Standing opposite her were Kazami Yuya, Kitano Ichiro, Rin Saku, and Conan.
Seeing this, Kiel understood perfectly well that she had underestimated the child. After all, he had spent his days hunting geese, only to have his eye pecked by one.
She gave a self-deprecating chuckle: "I originally planned to use you to get close to Curaçao and get rid of her, but I didn't expect you already had connections with the Japanese Public Security Bureau. In the end, I was outsmarted by you."
"So everything you said before was a lie?" Conan looked at Kir. Actually, more than Kir killing Curaçao, he was less willing to believe that the story he heard was just a fabrication to gain her trust. After all, her eyes had been genuinely sincere back then; if it was an act, it would be too terrifying.
“No. I’m not lying to you, that story is true. I am indeed a CIA agent, and I’ve been organizing undercover operations all these years.” Kir didn’t expect him to care more about this, and she looked at Conan as she answered him.
"Then why did you kill Curaçao?" Conan asked again.
“It’s simple. My name is likely on the list of undercover agents she brought from the police. I can’t afford to gamble, so she has to die,” Kir said coldly. Then she looked up at Kazami Yuya. “Where’s my brother?”
Lin Shengsu smiled slightly, still with that gentle demeanor, but in Gil's eyes at this moment, the other party was nothing more than a smiling tiger.
“Your brother is under our protection, Miss Bentang need not worry.”
"Hmph, you even know my name now. It seems this child has told you everything about me." Kiel chuckled, but she wasn't discouraged. Although the assassination attempt on Curaçao had failed, it wasn't without a chance to turn things around. "I only did this to protect myself and my brother. Our goals are actually the same, aren't they?"
Kazami Yu didn't speak, but just looked at Kir, or rather, Hondo Emi, at this point. He was clearly waiting to hear what she had to say next.
“We can cooperate. As long as I can survive, I promise I can return to the organization and provide you with intelligence, provided you protect my brother.” Hondo Emi offered her terms, which she considered a good deal.
The Japanese Public Security Bureau had no reason to refuse; they now held her brother in their hands, which meant they had essentially gained a spy for free.
Kazami Yuya didn't immediately agree, nor did he hesitate. Instead, he took out his phone and made a call. He then held the phone to Hondo Hidemi's ear, and a voice came from the other end: "Ms. Hondo, have you decided to cooperate?"
The voice sounded familiar to Hondou Eikai, but she couldn't quite place where she had heard it before. She didn't have time to think about it further, so at this moment, the voice on the other end was the one who could finalize the deal.
The tense and urgent arrangements, with one step leading to another, forced people to think of the next method non-stop in order to survive, leaving no time to review what had happened before.
This is what Jiang Jin wanted to see.
"It seems you've already planned this all along? Did you bring Yingyou here too?" Hondo Yinghai asked without hesitation, trying to probe.
The other party neither confirmed nor denied it.
Hondo Emi had no choice but to continue, "As long as you protect my brother and ensure I am not exposed, I will provide you with information about the organization."
On the other end of the phone came a laugh that sent chills down Hondo Eikai's spine and whose meaning she couldn't decipher.
"This is a very worthwhile deal, I agree. Your presence means that the organization is already trying to rescue Curaçao. If they stay in the police hospital, no one can make a move. So let's work together to devise a plan to lure them all here. Let's watch a grand... betrayal show."
When the word 'betrayal' was mentioned, the other party's tone suddenly became more serious, causing Hondo Eikai's heart to tighten. But now she was at the mercy of others, and she had no choice but to get on this ship.
On the hospital rooftop, Furuya Rei hung up the phone, the wind ruffling his golden hair. He turned to look at Jiang Jin, who was intently folding a paper airplane beside him.
"You seem quite relaxed. You set up a trap for Kiel step by step from the very beginning. Yesterday, I thought the 'all together' you mentioned only referred to Kiel, but it turns out you've also lured her brother along. She still doesn't know how her brother ended up in the hospital; she still thinks it was the police who did it."
Jiang Jin folded the paper left and right, and finally tossed the folded paper airplane off the rooftop. The night wind carried the paper airplane into the night sky, disappearing without a trace.
“A spy with a weakness is a dead man with one foot in the grave.” Jiang Jin turned his head and looked at Furuya Rei with a smile.
As Kiel walked out of the hospital, the street was almost deserted except for a few vehicles. She turned to look at the police hospital and clenched her fist. Now that her brother was being held by the police, she was also on a slippery slope, ultimately putting Eiyo in danger.
Hondo Emi didn't even have time to ask her how her brother had been tricked by the police. If she had known, she would have recognized him sooner to prevent him from being deceived.
Kiel took a deep breath, took out his phone, and dialed—"Duago, it's me, Kiel. I have the latest information about Curaçao..."
