How Many Moles Were Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? / Conan, Full of Strength

"Dad, you have diabetes, this isn't for you," the other person said nervously, avoiding her father's hand and tucking the box of cream puffs behind her. "This is for your granddaughter; she's been wanting to eat this all day."

"You mean Yumiko? Where is she? Didn't you say you should bring Yumiko along? Why did you come alone?"

When asked this question, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, then quickly gave his answer.

"She's probably at the nearby Amusement Park with her friends right now, she'll probably come later."

As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Hang, who was lying next to his father's hospital bed, and a conflicted expression appeared on his face. However, he quickly avoided Jiang Hang's eyes and also concealed his expression.

At this moment, Conan had been secretly observing from the side, finally confirmed that there was something wrong with this middle-aged man.

Putting aside the fact that he brought food that the diabetic patient couldn't eat, the way that middle-aged man looked at Jiang Hang just now was really a bit too deliberate.

However, Conan still seems somewhat suspicious now.

Is this guy an accomplice of the robbers?

Was that old man also an accomplice of the robbers? But if so, how did the robbers know in advance that the person Jiang Hang was impersonating would be in this hospital room?

At this point, Conan had essentially deduced most of the situation.

It's likely that this ordinary middle-aged man has some kind of leverage that the robbers have over him, forcing him to come here to investigate or even help the robbers divert the police's attention.

Wait a minute, didn't that old man just say that when this middle-aged man comes to visit him, he should remember to bring his granddaughter along?

As a result, the middle-aged man's expression seemed a bit off when he was explaining.

Could it be that the robbers also kidnapped his daughter to coerce him?

Conan was pondering this when he saw Jiang Hang in the hospital room making a gesture that said, "You go investigate, I'll take care of this."

Conan understood immediately and sneaked away from the hospital bed when no one was looking.

Of course, he didn't forget to bring his own set of equipment.

Since the other party is likely a robber or even a terrorist who is armed, he naturally needs to be fully prepared.

He hadn't forgotten that the reason he was in the hospital more than ten days ago was because he encountered a group of bank robbers while on a picnic, and they almost killed him with a single shot.

He's finally been discharged from the hospital, but unexpectedly, a new batch of armed robbers has appeared for him.

Regardless of why Beika City is so prone to attracting bank robbers.

If it were an ordinary person, faced with such a similar situation, they might feel hesitant or fearful because of their recent near-death experience.

But Conan is different.

He wanted to actively overcome this nightmare and become the fearless detective he once was.

Chapter 534: How many undercover agents are there within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?

After Conan left the ward, Jiang Hang became even more lazy and laid-back.

Judging from Conan's expression of wanting to avenge this bank robbery gang, let him take the lead in this case.

With Altair watching from above, it's unlikely that Conan, who has just recovered and been discharged from the hospital, would be injured by another group of robbers.

He squinted, glancing at the middle-aged man out of the corner of his eye.

It seems that the middle-aged man still hasn't been able to make up his mind.

The gun was already inside that puff pastry box; all he had to do was pull it out and fire a shot at him, and his mission would be complete.

But judging from his timid and hesitant appearance, he must have been coerced into doing this.

Jiang Hang had basically deduced the whole process in his mind.

First, there was the mole within the police force who figured out the injured suspect's hospital room, and then used his own identity to investigate the identities of the other patients in that room.

They found a seemingly easily fooled middle-aged man inside and took his daughter away, forcing him to attack his accomplice.

Perhaps during this process, the robbers also told him that as long as he told the police he was coerced, he wouldn't bear much responsibility, and they would obediently return his daughter, etc.

Of course, Jiang Hang could also guess that, because of the presence of that mole in the police force, the other party would probably immediately stage the scene to make it seem like the middle-aged man was an accomplice of the robber, and after killing the robber with a gun, the mole would personally shoot and take him away.

It must be said that this mole and his gang of bank robbers were quite shrewd.

The only problem is that the mole is unaware that he is now suspected by his superiors; it's just that the Metropolitan Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department hasn't been able to determine who the mole is yet.

However, if the other party were to execute the plan perfectly, that is, to have this middle-aged man take the blame without finding any flaws, and if the timing of the mole's appearance and the timing of killing the man were also precise, even if Inspector Megure suspected that this officer was a mole, he probably wouldn't be able to find any evidence to prove that the man was the mole, and it would probably be quite troublesome to deal with.

Just looking at the middle-aged man who hesitated, his hand hovering over the cream puff box, struggling several times without making a decision, Jiang Hang knew that the robbers' plan was unlikely to go perfectly.

Perhaps they think that by randomly picking someone off the street and using that person's important status to coerce them, they can force these ordinary people to do things that they wouldn't dare to do or even think about normally.

Seeing that the middle-aged man ultimately couldn't bring himself to commit murder in the hospital room, especially in front of his own father, Jiang Hang remained silent.

Then let's just keep waiting. There are still an hour or two before "he" is transferred away from the hospital by the police. If this middle-aged man continues to hesitate, the robbers will definitely lose their composure at the last minute.

Although Jiang Hang had noticed one or two suspicious individuals who had entered the hospital, the group of robbers was not just a few people. If they couldn't wipe them out in one fell swoop, it would be quite troublesome if one or two armed individuals escaped.

Watching the middle-aged man leave the ward under the pretext of needing to use the restroom, Jiang Hang continued to lie peacefully on the hospital bed, waiting for time to slowly pass.

For Conan, who left the ward early, there were many more things to do.

He found a suitable spot to observe the middle-aged man's movements after he left the ward.

He needs to find out whether the middle-aged man was coerced.

If this middle-aged man was indeed coerced, it wouldn't be easy to get him to do something like that in the hospital room.

Moreover, he believed in Jiang Hang's skills.

Although he had never personally witnessed Jiang Hang using the Hidden Blade in his wrist to slash bullets, according to Miyano Akemi...

When Jiang Hang saved her from Gin, he did indeed use his Hidden Blade to deflect the bullet Gin fired at him.

It was precisely because of his incredible skill that Gin dared not make any rash moves and had no choice but to give up on taking her and Jiang Hang's lives and leave.

"But according to Jiang Hang, there seem to be quite a few people in the world who can do this. I wonder how those guys manage to react faster than the speed of a bullet," Conan muttered to himself, finding these things too unscientific.

He never considered that he himself was also very unscientific most of the time.

In short, there shouldn't be anyone in the world who could harm Jiang Hang with ordinary firearms if Jiang Hang had made prior preparations.

If the middle-aged man fails to make the move in the end, then those who coerced him will inevitably step forward to continue pressuring him.

By then, he will be able to find out who the mole in the police force really is.

Similarly, Conan felt that the existence of this mole was also a reminder to him.

Look, even a bank robbery gang like this has found a way to plant their own spies in the bank and even the police.

So, how could a super multinational organization like the Black Organization, which has been established for more than half a century, not have enough spies planted in various fields in its own territory, given that Japan is still its headquarters?

The politician Nomikuchi Shigehiko who accepted bribes was secretly supported by the Black Organization before that.

And there's Masuyama Kenzou, the chairman of that car company, who was also one of the members tasked with assassinating Nomikuchi Shigehiko.

Before he did this, everyone thought he was a billionaire. How could anyone have imagined that he was actually a high-ranking member of that organization with a code name?

Most importantly, even though the police had already taken Masuyama Kenzou into custody, he was still silenced by that organization on the way back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, preventing the police from obtaining any further information about the organization.

This further proves that there is definitely an undercover agent from that organization within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and that the undercover agent's rank must not be low, so that he could obtain this intelligence and inform the organization's higher-ups to carry out such an operation.

Even now, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has not stopped investigating this case, but no matter how much they investigate, it will ultimately remain an unsolved case.

With this thought in mind, Conan finally saw the middle-aged man leave the ward looking worried.

Conan quickly followed, keeping a distance behind the other person.

Chapter 535: Conan with Power

Because the middle-aged man looked so worried, several plainclothes police officers took out their badges and questioned him as soon as he left the ward.

The policeman relaxed a little after hearing that he was the son of one of the patients in the ward, seemingly assuming that his demeanor was due to worry about his father's illness.

After finally escaping the police's questioning, the middle-aged man was completely unaware that a little tail had appeared behind him.

Conan could not only follow the other person closely, but also sneakily place a transmitter on them while they were standing there in a daze, pretending to be a playful child.

Through his glasses, he could always know the other person's location and even hear who they were talking to.

Then the middle-aged man was completely unaware that something had been placed on him, and just walked up the stairs in a daze.

In the emergency exit leading to the hospital, the middle-aged man seemed to finally succumb to the pressure and, in a trembling voice, said that he simply couldn't do it.

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Conan immediately held his breath and listened carefully.

Immediately afterwards, another voice that sounded somewhat fierce came from beside the middle-aged man.

"We've come this far, are you scared?"

Then the middle-aged man's voice came through, trembling.

"Are you kidding me? That's asking me to kill someone. How could I possibly do something like that... Besides, the police will definitely notice me. They were just asking me who I am."

The middle-aged man was here recounting his experiences.

"Hmph, still afraid of the police? But don't worry, I've already made preparations for dealing with the police."

"Isn't what we need to do next quite simple?"

"Go and take care of that guy before 3:30, then I'll help you deal with the police pursuit and return your daughter to you immediately."

Upon hearing about his daughter, the middle-aged man's expression finally changed somewhat.

"Could I... could I hear my daughter's voice again?"

He was genuinely worried that these vicious robbers had done something irreversible to his daughter.

Upon hearing this request, another voice seemed to be dialing a number on their own phone.

About ten seconds later, the middle-aged man's trembling voice came through to Conan again.

Conan couldn't hear what his daughter was saying, but it was quite clear what had happened over there.

The robbers kidnapped the middle-aged man's daughter, demanding that he kill his accomplice who was being held by the police.

After calming the middle-aged man down, the fierce voice left behind the words, "You can think about it again. Anyway, there's still half an hour left." Then, with a series of footsteps, the voice had clearly left the deserted safety passage.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Conan glanced towards the emergency exit from a distance and quickly confirmed the robber's attire.

He then informed Jiang Hang of his discovery via text message.

Not long after, Jiang Hang sent back a response.

There were no words, only the location of a map.

It seemed to be not far from the hospital; you could even see the situation there from the hospital's rooftop.

It was a commercial building with a small, open-air children's playground on the roof.

So this is where the little girl was kidnapped?

Conan for a moment, then quickly began to deduce the truth.

Judging from the tone of the middle-aged man's response to his daughter, he was still forcing himself to remain calm.

In other words, her daughter was not bound or restricted in her movements. It was more like someone took her somewhere for a trip, and she didn't feel any fear at all.

That's why the middle-aged man tried to speak to his daughter in a calm tone, asking her to wait there patiently for him to come and pick her up.

In addition, that commercial building is one of the tallest buildings in the vicinity, and from the rooftop, one can easily observe the situation in this area.

In other words, the little girl was probably tricked into believing that someone was her father's friend, and secretly taken to that open-air playground. And the little girl is still unaware that she has been abducted.

Conan instantly understood the meaning behind Jiang Hang sending him this location.

Then his heart was filled with doubt again.

But Jiang Hang is clearly lying in a hospital bed right now, at most he's secretly using his phone.

How exactly did he discover this location while in the hospital room?

But Conan quickly thought of the powerful software that allowed the other party to easily bypass the surveillance system and change his own shape.

If the other party can easily break through the nearby surveillance system, wouldn't it be even easier to intercept their transmitter or even the phone signal of that robber?

Thinking about how many more crime-solving methods the other party could use now, Conan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. If things continued like this, Jiang Hang would really become an armchair detective.

However, this armchair detective relies not only on his observation and reasoning abilities, but also on his powerful hacking skills, which allow him to easily hack into surveillance systems in various places to obtain more information.

We really need to find a way to master these technologies.

Conan is a very pragmatic person. Since this technology can help him solve cases, he naturally has to find a way to master it.

Moreover, cybercrime is becoming increasingly prevalent these days. To become the Sherlock Holmes of the new era, one must have a thorough understanding of all sorts of crime-related matters.
