"That Araki Zhangtaro, when Conan said there was a bug on his shoulder, he stood up on his right foot."
After hearing James' words, Judy, who was standing by, recalled the video she had seen earlier and said quickly, "His foot should be completely healed, but he's still pretending to be injured!"
"That Kusuda Rikumichi is also a suspect~"
Tang Ze on the side spoke up: "His neck should be healed too. Although he pretended to have a sore neck when he picked up the phone, if his neck hurt he wouldn't have drank the canned coffee.
After all, drinking canned coffee is a technical job when your neck hurts and you can't turn it.
And when he was looking for Conan who suddenly disappeared, his neck turned naturally.
If the neck really hurts, the neck and body should be turned at the same time."
"In fact, as soon as I saw the can of coffee, I suspected he was pretending."
Conan smiled and made a drinking gesture: "After all, if you don't tilt your neck back, you can't finish the canned drink, right?
But when I accidentally knocked over the coffee cans, they were all empty.”
"So there's a reason why you knocked over the coffee can? You're really perceptive..."
Judy, who was standing by, was amazed but also looked a little serious: "But if that's the case, then there are two people pretending to be sick?
So how did you distinguish between the two of them and the member who was related to the organization?"
"It's simple. The old man probably wants the hospital insurance money, so he's staying here all this time~"
Tang Ze laughed and said, "In Neon, if the hospital stay does not exceed 20 days, the insurance company will not provide compensation.
That’s why the old man refused the X-ray because he was afraid of leaving evidence that his legs had healed, which would prevent him from getting the compensation.
"But, that could also be an excuse he prepared specifically for when his flaws are exposed, right?"
Judy said, "This way, even if it's discovered that the injuries on my legs and feet are healed, I can use this excuse to cover it up."
"Indeed, the old man said in his anger at the end that Conan was sent by the doctor to test him, proving that he was already on guard."
James mused, "Since the other party is afraid of being seen through, it's normal for them to pretend that they're doing it to collect the insurance money."
"That's right, and among the three of them, he was the only one who didn't touch the phone that Conan pretended to throw." Judy agreed: "Isn't that strange?"
"If he touches it, he'll be suspicious again~" Tang Ze beside him smiled and said, "I think Conan and Akai-san think so too, right?"
"Huh?" Judy asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"
"Because the old man has a pacemaker installed to help his heart function."
Conan on the side smiled and explained: "If you get too close to a mobile phone that emits electromagnetic waves, your life will be in danger.
Although I had removed the battery from the phone from the beginning, the other party didn't know and naturally stayed away from it cautiously."
"How...how did you know that the other person had a pacemaker installed?" Judy asked with a puzzled look.
"Didn't the old man in the video pull open his clothes to repel the bugs?" Conan smiled and reminded, "Isn't there a round raised area where there's a scar?
That's actually where the pacemaker surgery is left."
"So, when you said there was a bug on his shoulder, it wasn't just to scare him or test his legs, but to confirm whether he had a pacemaker, right?"
Judy suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Conan-kun, although I have always known that you are very powerful, this time you are really amazing!"
"Hehe~"
Conan touched his head and smiled modestly, and soon a big hand stroked his dog's head: "Well done, kid~ Of course, my disguise must have contributed to it~"
"Get out of here!" Conan opened Tang Ze's hand unhappily after hearing this: "Don't touch my head."
"Anyway, let's send someone to monitor Kusuda Rikumichi first." Tang Ze looked at Judy and said, "Although he might be hospitalized for insurance money, the probability is higher that it is him."
"We will take action immediately."
James nodded, and the group walked directly towards the ward where Rena Mizunashi was.
The guards naturally don't have to worry, as the FBI has so many intelligence agents that they can easily monitor Kusuda Rikudichi.
"The progress is quite smooth, but the matter of Mizunashi Reina still needs to be studied in detail."
Even as they walked in the empty corridor, Judy still lowered her voice: "This hospital is definitely unsafe now.
If Kusuda Rikudichi is arrested and contact with him is lost, the people from that organization will definitely come back to this hospital to investigate.
If Mizunashi Reina is still here by then, it will be troublesome."
"Regarding this, I'm about to contact the dean to see if he can help me contact a reliable doctor who's more tight-lipped."
James nodded and said, "I will speed up the process. We must find a hospital before arresting Kusuda Rikudō."
"Otherwise, let's switch to Beautiful and Bitch," Judy suggested.
"Stop joking." James shook his head and rejected Judy's unreliable suggestion.
The three people who were quietly listening to the conversation beside them, however, glanced to the side at the same time when everyone passed by a ward.
A faint smile flashed across their lips, and the three of them continued to walk forward as if they were unaware of what was happening around them. However, they reached a tacit understanding in the brief moment of eye contact.
