Chapter 519: Hondou Eisuke is being followed
Miyano Shiho looked at Yuya in surprise. He had said that Hondou Eisuke would come to him on his own when the time was right. He didn't expect it would be at this time?
Could it be that going to the shrine triggered some key plot?
Hondou Eisuke put down his chopsticks awkwardly. Just as he was about to say something, You stopped him with a smile: "Eat first, and we'll talk after you finish eating."
Hondou Eisuke hurriedly grabbed the chopsticks again, but accidentally lost his grip, and one of the chopsticks flew out strangely, straight towards Yuya's face, and he immediately screamed in fright.
Yuya's mouth twitched, and he saw a shadow flash by. When he looked again, the chopsticks were already in his hand.
Yuya couldn't help but sigh, grabbed Hondou Eisuke's hand and stuffed the chopsticks in, and patted it hard: "Hold it firmly."
Hondou Eisuke was very embarrassed. He apologized and then lowered his head to eat in silence.
Yuya and Miyano Shiho looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and started eating.
A moment later, Yuya and Hondou Eisuke were sitting on the sofa in the living room, while Miyano Shiho was washing dishes in the kitchen.
Hondou Eisuke couldn't help but glance in the direction of the kitchen, then looked at Yuya, and said with some emotion: "You two look like you are already a couple."
Youya smiled and said, "You will find it too."
Hondou Eisuke was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about, and his face turned slightly red.
Yuya narrowed his eyes. Could this guy fall in love with Mao Lilan like in the original novel? That was impossible. How could he let someone steal his childhood friend's girlfriend?
So he reminded her: "I want to remind you that Xiaolan already has a partner."
"Huh?" Hondou Eisuke was stunned for a moment, and waved his hands in panic, "No, I didn't..."
Youya pretended to cough, then said, "Let's not talk about this, just remember it yourself. Tell me, why did you suddenly think of asking me to help you find your sister?"
Hondou Eisuke's expression suddenly became solemn. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then said, "Actually, a few days ago when I went to another hospital to take the photos and ask the people there, I met a few strange people."
"A strange person?" Youye was a little confused.
"Yes," Hondou Eisuke nodded solemnly, "They are a few men dressed in black. They seem to be looking for someone as well."
Yuya's eyes suddenly condensed. Could it be that Hondou Eisuke had met someone from the organization? As expected, they had already found out that Mizunashi Rena was injured and hospitalized, and they were already investigating.
But why didn’t they directly catch Hondou Eisuke, who looked so much like Mizunashi Rena?
"And then?" Youya asked quickly.
Hondou Eisuke clenched his hands nervously: "They seemed surprised to see me. I felt that they were not good people. I left without asking them any more questions, and then..."
"And from then on, I felt like someone was following me!"
A cold light flashed in Youye's eyes. He made a gesture to keep quiet and quickly walked to the window. He opened the curtains a little and looked out, but he didn't see anyone in black.
"Don't worry, Kamiya-san. I was very careful when I came here, and no one followed me."
Yuya would not easily believe his words. He sat back on the sofa and observed Hondou Eisuke's micro-expressions to confirm that there was no sign of lying. It seemed that he was indeed being followed.
Those men in black are most likely members of the organization.
I just don't know why they didn't just capture Hondou Eisuke? Are they planning to use him to find Mizunashi Rena?
"You are not just being followed, right?" Youye asked in a deep voice. If he was just being followed, he shouldn't have come to him for help.
Hondou Eisuke's expression changed for a moment, and he whispered, "I found that someone had installed a bug in the place where I live! But I didn't find any signs of intrusion at all!"
Yuya narrowed his eyes slightly: "What did you do with the bug? It's not destroyed, is it?"
Hondou Eisuke quickly shook his head: "No, no, I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn't use the bugs."
"But because of the bug these days, I haven't been able to rest properly. I'm almost going crazy!"
Yuya nodded slightly. This Hondou Eisuke still had some brains. If he had destroyed the bug, those people might have rushed to the door to arrest him.
Hondou Eisuke took a deep breath and said, "Kamiya-san, I actually suspect that Mizunashi Rena is my sister!"
Yuya raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Didn't you say they weren't the same person?"
Hondou Eisuke quickly said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was... there might be a bad guy who had plastic surgery to look like my sister and planned to use her face to do something illegal!"
"How to say?"
Hondou Eisuke lowered his head and said, "I have always suspected this. I originally wanted to ask Detective Maori to investigate Mizunashi Rena, find out her true identity, and then ask her about my sister. But now I suddenly realize that there may be a person hiding behind Mizunashi Rena who I cannot deal with."
Anyone who can undergo plastic surgery to disguise himself as someone else and appear in front of outsiders in a swaggering manner is definitely not an ordinary person or organization. It could be a very powerful criminal organization. Hondou Eisuke knows very well that he cannot deal with it by himself.
Youye raised his eyebrows: "Are you... scared?" But your intuition is quite accurate. The organization is indeed not something you can handle alone.
Hondou Eisuke shook his head vigorously and shouted: "Of course not! I just, I just..."
"Just what?"
He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not as powerful as Kamiya-san. I know very well that I can't deal with those people. They haven't taken any action yet, but have installed a bug. I'm afraid they want to investigate what I want to do first?"
"If my search for my sister could lead to the exposure of Mizunashi Reina's false identity, they would definitely kill me without hesitation!"
"If I'm killed, then I won't be able to see my sister anymore, right? I also want to thank her for taking care of me when I was a child and saving my life. Because of her, I was able to grow up smoothly until now."
"I remembered what Kamiya-san once said, so I came to find you..."
Yuya was silent for a while, as if he was digesting the information in Hondou Eisuke's words. After a while, he smiled and said, "I thought you would investigate it on your own."
Hondou Eisuke gave a bitter smile: "I am a little confused at times, but I am not stupid, okay?"
Youya raised his eyebrows. Hondou Eisuke was indeed not stupid but quite smart, otherwise he would not have been able to investigate to this extent by himself and even found out the information that Mizunashi Rena was injured and hospitalized.
In the original work, he even saw through Conan's true identity, and he did it entirely on his own without any help from anyone.
But now that the people of the Black Organization have noticed him, they can't let Hondou Eisuke run around outside, as it might ruin his plans.
Thinking of this, You said decisively: "Okay, I'll take this commission."
Hondou Eisuke was delighted: "Really?"
Youye nodded: "Yes, I have said it before, you can come to me when you need me, isn't now the time?"
Hondou Eisuke laughed happily and nodded vigorously.
