"Furthermore, the body was found stuffed in a bag, and the fatal head wound indicated that it had been struck more than once."

"Therefore, the police do not rule out investigating this case as a revenge killing."

Is this what they mean by "words become law"?

Yusuke Suzuki immediately recalled which bridges spanned the Tsutsumi River and then sent a message to Chris Jean.

[Let's wait on Beika Shinbashi Bridge first; we'll be there soon.]

This time, the other party replied immediately.

OK, thank you, Suzuki-kun. XXX

Chapter 887 This Damn Sense of Responsibility!

It seems Chris Jean really wants to scare Conan.

Yusuke Suzuki put away his phone and continued listening.

There are many bridges across the Tsutsumi River, but he just randomly chose one and let Chris Jean cross first to save some time.

Takumi Hashitani couldn't remember which bridge the body had been dumped on; he would inform the other party once the exact location was determined.

Kogoro Mouri couldn't utter a single word of doubt, since the descriptions in the news matched exactly what Takumi Hashiraya had said.

But he felt that the police were unlikely to take Hashitani Takumi's words to heart.

Descriptions like 'saw head', 'nail', and 'glowing hammer' sound very unreliable.

As a veteran police officer, Kogoro Mouri made his judgment based on empathy.

Moreover, the victim in this case was a celebrity, putting the police under immense pressure. In such a tense situation, they were even less likely to listen to what the child was saying.

After the bumbling detective finished explaining his insights, Ran Mouri immediately suggested, "Then let's drive him around and recreate the events of that day. That way, the little boy should be able to recall the exact location."

Having said that, Kogoro Mouri, who had been idle at home all day and even scolded, thought it would be nice to go out and handle a case to change his mood, so he nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Ran Mouri suddenly exclaimed, "Eisuke, you're amazing! You can tell whether your brother is lying just by looking at his expression."

“It’s nothing,” Hondo Eisuke adjusted his glasses. “My dad used to do that to me a lot when I was little. I was just copying him. It feels amazing.”

Conan, who was listening in, ignored Ran Mouri's affectionate way of addressing him as "Eisuke" and stared intently at Hondo Eisuke.

This guy is now connected to Rena Mizunashi.

All things red are red, all things black are black.

Although Rena Mizunashi acted like a really good person when she was with him that day, he still rates her red and black sides as 37/10.

why?

Because there was another member of the organization who also acted like a good person towards him, and that was Wei Que!

This guy is a high-ranking member of a black organization, almost on par with Gin!

And then there's Vermouth, that woman who's such a great actress.

Conan really didn't dare to label Rena Mizunashi as a good undercover agent.

Before long, everyone was ready and went downstairs to set off.

Conan shouted, "I want to sit in the passenger seat of the Porsche with Yusuke!"

Despite Kogoro Mouri scolding him for not letting children sit in the passenger seat, Yusuke Suzuki intervened and helped Conan get into the car.

He could tell that Conan had a lot to say to him.

As expected, once he got in the car, Conan didn't want to waste any time and immediately shared his speculations about the relationship between Hondo Eisuke and Mizunashi Rena.

Yusuke Suzuki slowly fastened his seatbelt, started the car, and followed the bumbling detective before speaking slowly, "What you said is indeed very likely. I can help with the DNA testing in my private capacity, no problem, as long as the FBI is willing to provide Rena Mizunashi's DNA sample."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Thank you, I will communicate with Ms. Jodie."

After he finished speaking, the car fell silent.

After waiting for a while, Conan looked out the car window with some melancholy, "If Rena Mizunashi really is an undercover agent, then all the efforts we made last time seem to have been in vain."

"As an undercover agent, she has to be responsible for the forces behind her, so she might not reveal any information."

"In this way, I also urgently need to confirm the relationship between Hondo Eisuke and her, whether by setting conditions or by directly threatening her, in order to obtain the information I want."

"Ha, I never thought I would end up like this, becoming the kind of person I didn't want to be."

He paused, then shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Even if I get the information I want, it's highly likely that Rena Mizunashi will have a hard time returning to the organization. And even if she does, the organization's trust in her will drop significantly."

"No matter what, this phase cannot be described as an achievement; on the contrary, it has resulted in more losses."

"I really don't know how much I will have to go through, what kind of person I will become, before I can finally defeat that unfathomable dark organization."

"perhaps......"

At this point, Conan swallowed the rest of his words.

But once an idea exists, it's gone; once it appears, it can't just disappear.

Perhaps... he simply has no way to defeat the organization, and can never escape the shadow that follows him.

All he could do was desperately run away in the darkness.

Yusuke Suzuki could naturally sense that Conan's fighting spirit had been dampened.

However, this emotion came very suddenly.

From a character design perspective, Conan shouldn't act like this.

But all these emotions right now are real and cannot be faked.

It must be that the pent-up frustrations of the past have finally begun to erupt at this moment.

As a human being.

A person who has encountered unimaginable difficulties, was forced to abandon his original identity, was unable to make promises to his beloved, was unable to confide in the person who loves him, and was constantly struggling between hope and despair.

It's only natural that Shinichi Kudo would have an emotional breakdown.

He's just a 17-year-old high school student.

Perhaps only in front of Suzuki Yusuke, who is 'certain' to stand against the organization, is highly 'trustworthy', and whom he subconsciously regards as a 'reliable' older brother who is also involved in the situation, can Shinichi Kudo allow himself to release his decadent emotions.

Yusuke Suzuki felt that his analysis was correct.

It's pretty outrageous, actually.

Unbeknownst to many, he, a top-tier character who was just going through the motions of the plot because he had no ambition, has now become the default support of the original protagonist.

It turns out that besides Ai Haibara, there are many other people who rely on him and trust him.

This damn sense of responsibility...

Yusuke Suzuki thought for a moment and said, "Call Ran and ask her if she remembers which bridge she saw the body dumped on. We can't just keep wandering around aimlessly like this."

Conan was slightly taken aback, then immediately dialed the number to inquire.

I haven't thought of it yet, I need to keep searching.

At this moment, Yusuke Suzuki opened the car window a little, letting the damp and cold air flow into the car like wind.

He reached out and rubbed Conan's big head. "Calm down. You've done a great job. There's no need to feel sorry for yourself."

Besides, how much time has passed? If a large transnational criminal organization were taken down so easily by you, wouldn't the police, the FBI, and even the CIA all become useless?

Of course, judging from the plot, these institutions are indeed not much better than useless.

Therefore, Yusuke Suzuki did not use the phrase "we, the police."

When it comes to speaking, one must be careful and precise.

Chapter 888 I, Shuichi Akai, do not trust you, James.

Hearing his words, Conan couldn't help but chuckle.

I never expected my friend to be so good at comforting people.

With such a reliable partner, I should definitely have more confidence.

Conan adjusted his mindset very quickly, sweeping away his dejection, and picked up his phone to call Jodie to discuss the DNA test.

Judy herself did not directly reject him, but gave a tactful answer.

"I need to report this to my superiors and will get back to you as soon as possible."

This sounds like standard official rhetoric.

But Judy wasn't just giving me the runaround.

She immediately reported the matter.

The person she was reporting to was Shuichi Akai, who was standing next to her.

After a moment's thought, Boiling Sheep intercepted the message and told Judy not to report it to James Black.

The reason given is that the FBI is currently unable to cooperate with the Japanese Public Security Bureau, even if Yusuke Suzuki uses a private identity; it's inappropriate to use that to bother the boss.

But in reality, he was just keeping a close eye on his boss.

Is James suspicious?

Very suspicious!

The other party had only been in Japan for a short time when they said they had received intelligence that they had discovered Akai Tsutomu's whereabouts.

Then he was ambushed by the organization and almost died there.

During this time, Andre Cameron, a colleague who had been suddenly transferred to Japan and whose mistake two years earlier had led to his failure to capture Gin, accompanied him.

Although he trusted Andrei, the personnel and the situation were a complete replay of his escape two years earlier.

Then, on the night of the full moon.

In the ambush operation targeting Vermouth.

Although he had explained his ideas to James beforehand and requested to start the operation, the latter directly delegated authority to Judy to mobilize the manpower, and he himself was almost completely uninvolved.

The reason why Vermouth was able to easily transfer all the personnel stationed at the dock after disguising herself as Judy was because Judy was in charge of all personnel transfers at the time!
