Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

It seems as if they are the ones who are at fault, as if they are committing a heinous crime by "careing about" the car accident.

“…He’s in pain too!”

The pampered rich lady shouted.

For some reason, Hojo Ibaraki felt that these words sounded familiar.

"It was his first time driving that car. It was his twentieth birthday present. He was on the road happily, but then he met you guys!"

She turned her head and pointed a jeweled finger directly at Hojo Toika.

"It was obviously you who didn't look carefully when you crossed the road!"

"I've watched the surveillance video, and you were the first to run the yellow light!" she scolded, "He's such a kind-hearted man, and he's been feeling so guilty these past few days that he hasn't been able to sleep well at night, and he even said he should go to jail... You've left him with a lifelong shadow!"

Her husband first let his wife throw a tantrum, then slowly spoke in a calm and rational tone: "We are willing to provide compensation, and we hope you can accept it. If you think it is not enough, you can add more."

He paused, and glanced at them condescendingly: "If you really want to apologize, I will let my son come over and bow to you."

"Husband, just give them some money, why..."

The women complained in dissatisfaction, as if he was doing something extremely unfair to their son.

Everyone else present looked at them angrily.

The perpetrator was driving a limited edition sports car, which was just one of his gifts. His family is one of the top domestic consortiums. Although not as big as the Suzuki family, their capital is still something that ordinary people look up to.

They are very confident. They are sure that the victims in front of them and the people around them who dislike them cannot do anything to them.

——So, they showed their arrogance without any scruples.

"you……"

The Hojo couple were so angry at their condescending attitude that they were speechless. Several people in the crowd were desperately trying to hold back a young man who wanted to rush out and accuse the other party.

Hojo Toika was so angry that she was shaking all over.

She recognized the boy who wanted to stand out as Kudo Shinichi and ignored him. At this time, she clenched her fists and stared at the extremely arrogant couple.

She had never met such a shameless person.

Without any hesitation, she quickly came up with a plan filled with anger and hatred. Hojo Toika turned around and ran up to the second floor again.

……

Hojo Toika returned to the room, locked the door, and propped it against a chair.

Half a minute later, a small lion cub jumped from the second-floor window to the eaves, then from the eaves to a nearby tree, and then from the tree to the wall.

The bedroom was empty.

Hojo Toika transformed into a lion and ran along the wall. She had better balance in animal form. There were few people on the road and no one noticed her. Based on the scene she saw and remembered on the second floor, she quickly found a luxury car not far away.

She looked carefully and found that the driver was not there, and only the beast was in the car... Great!

Hojo Tobiko gritted her teeth, jumped into the open front window, and landed on the front driver's seat.

The perpetrator was sitting in the back seat, hunched over with his hands covering his face, sobbing softly and shaking all over. Through the gaps, I could see that his eyes were red and swollen, and his face looked very ugly.

Unlike his parents who mindlessly protected him, the perpetrator himself felt guilty and in pain.

Hojo Toika approached him coldly, her front paw pressed on the system ring on her other wrist, and silently opened the game system.

A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood;

When justice is not served, private revenge and revenge in kind are both normal, and double repayment is even more encouraging.

——Hojo Tobiko has always supported this idea and even wrote it into Kyouko.

Guilt?

She sneered inwardly.

What's the use of guilt? Can it bring people back to life? Do you think you can stop the grief of the deceased's family with a simple "I'm sorry"? What's more, their apology is insincere. They just want the victim to shut up and not pursue the matter!

Stop dreaming!

The more you cover your mouth, the angrier people will become!

The self-righteous guy she hated the most must pay a heavy price! - Blood debt must be paid with blood!

Hojo Toika let out a low roar, and this strange movement really attracted the attention of the young man who caused the incident. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at her with a pair of tearful eyes.

When their eyes met, Hojo Toika pressed her active skill.

【Mirror Flower and Water Moon】, activate.

----

the other side.

The alcohol content of the two bottles of whiskey was a mystery, and no one knew what happened at the farewell ceremony.

Toru Amuro found that Glenn seemed to frown after he gave the exact date.

But when he looked closely, the other person's expression didn't change at all.

…is that what the organization was planning to do in those days?

Toru Amuro was secretly alert. He thought that it was better to be safe than sorry. He planned to notify Yuya Kazami after Glenn left and ask the public security to be on high alert in those few days.

"Rum has a mission for you."

Glenn was about the same height as him, and his brown eyes looked at him quietly, seemingly without any emotion.

"What mission?"

"Go to Russia and invite a killer codenamed 'Pramya' to join the organization. Rum received news that he will be heading there soon. This is a two-person mission for you and Curacao. She will contact and meet you in Moscow."

Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment, then he realized why this task was given to him.

Because he happened to know some information about Pramya, and because his recent schedule might take him to Moscow.

The two are just right, so this task is naturally his.

Toru Amuro was silent for a moment, he didn't want to go at all.

Not to mention that the date conflicted with Hagiwara's death anniversary, he was extremely reluctant to take on this kind of mission to increase the organization's combat effectiveness.

Glenn saw that he was unhappy and added in a low voice: "This is what the gentleman told Rum. He is very optimistic about the international wanted criminal."

How did you know?

Just as Toru Amuro was about to ask this, Glenn in front of him suddenly turned his head. He looked at the street outside, and there was an unconcealable look of astonishment on his face under the umbrella.

This made Toru Amuro also look over there.

On the road that was constantly washed by rain, a car was coming from a distance at a speed slower than normal but much faster than walking speed.

The car was obviously very valuable. The windshield wipers were scraping the front windows. Behind the clean and transparent glass was the driver with an exaggerated and unnatural smile. He looked ahead and didn't notice the passers-by.

The car quickly drove up to them, and along with it came the smell of blood and faint cries for help.

——There were two men in extraordinary clothes with their wrists tied, and the other end of the rope was hung on the rear of a car. The car was moving forward and dragging them cruelly, leaving two winding bloodstains on the ground.

"..."

Toru Amuro widened his eyes, and Glenn, who was standing next to him, silently pushed up his glasses, placing them more securely on his nose.

The rain was still falling, and soon it washed away the smelly blood.

Chapter 118 Conditions for Changing Camps

On the other side, the Metropolitan Police Department.

Bai Jiujiu left the office on time today as usual, and only said hello politely to his boss when leaving.

He entered the elevator with his bag under his arm. The other policemen in the elevator all knew him, and they glanced at him quietly without saying anything, only with various emotions flashing through their hearts.

The elevator slowly descended and stopped again at the Ministry of Transport. Several traffic police rushed into the elevator anxiously.

Baijiu looked at them in surprise after hearing their thoughts. As soon as the elevator reached the first floor, the traffic police rushed out first.

The other policemen looked at their backs in surprise as they walked away in the rain. One of them asked, "Where did a major traffic accident happen?"

Bai Jiu ignored him and went to the cafeteria to get food. He ordered the simplest dishes and asked for them to be packed. Then he left the Metropolitan Police Department with an umbrella and got on a taxi that had been booked long ago.

"Let's go to Rice Flower Forest."

The driver nodded and the taxi drove away quickly.

The car drove to the intersection. Bai Jiu had just put the folded umbrella at his feet when he felt the cell phone in his pocket vibrating, so he took it out to check.

What was flashing was the system icon. In the temporary group chat among allies, Hojo Toika sent him a message.

【Arrogant: I saw zero today! 】

[Arrogant: He and Kudo Shinichi came to attend my brother's funeral together! ! ]

[Arrogant: Kudo Shinichi is fine, but why is Zero in my brother's school? Do you know the reason?! ]

Even through the screen, Bai Jiu could see her excitement.

……

Currently, Kudo Shinichi, the protagonist of the Conan world who has not yet grown smaller, is in Minato Ward, and is not studying in the classic area of ​​Beika-cho with his childhood sweetheart Mao Li Ran.

This is normal.

Because this was caused by the push from Hojo Toika behind the scenes.

One day after Hakuba contacted Hojo Toika, she suddenly had an idea and did an experiment.

She wanted to try out the player's skills to see if they would work on the original characters.

The target she chose was Kudo Shinichi, the protagonist of the world whose position was well determined and whose identity was the most important. She transformed into a lion cub and sneaked into the Teitan Kingdom, trying to change his will.

Anyone who has watched Conan knows that Kudo Shinichi likes reasoning the most, and secondly, he has had a crush on Mao Li Ran for many years. The content modified by Hojo Toika is to try to make him give up these two points.

As a result, Kudo Shinichi broke free from control that day. On his way home, he went into a bookstore and bought several newly published mystery novels.

However, he was still slightly affected - not long after his will was modified, he had an argument with Mao Lilan over a trivial matter, and in a fit of anger he applied for the school's exchange student program, which resulted in him having to study in Minato for a semester.

Afterwards, Hojo Tobika regretted the incident very much. It is said that she repeatedly told her younger brother Hojo Shinji to stay away from him to avoid being involved in the case.
