"But why did you come to the hospital looking for your older sister?"
After taking his usual jab at Brother Fujino, Conan curiously asked Hondo Eisuke that question.
He was probing, testing how much Hondo Eisuke knew about Mizunashi Rena.
Although it had already been confirmed that Mizunashi Rena and her father were very likely working for the CIA,
Conan still felt that something was off.
At least, before the truth came to light, he did not dare jump to conclusions.
What if this turned into some kind of spy-versus-spy situation? Wouldn't they be screwed?
Hondo Eisuke looked at Conan, his eyes narrowing slightly. Naturally, he could tell that this little brat was trying to pry information out of him.
After thinking it over, he figured that if his older sister really had some shameful secret, it would be bad if this group of ordinary high school students discovered it. Besides, there was his history of this little brat constantly opposing him.
Hondo Eisuke immediately began making things up. "It's because my older sister always said she wanted to become a nurse, so I came here to look for her."
"No way!"
Sonoko blurted out a classic Japanese catchphrase, then muttered, "No wonder you went to the hospital with Senior Fujino that day. I thought..."
"Ahem, Sonoko!"
Ran gave a light cough and directly cut Sonoko off before she could reveal the matter. Then, with a gentle smile, she explained, "Sonoko and I happened to pass by that day, and we saw Senior go to the hospital with Hondo Sakurako, who was dressed as a woman..."
"We were wondering what was going on at the time."
"But we figured Senior Fujino must have had his reasons, so we didn't ask."
"Now that you've explained it, we finally understand!"
"..."
