Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

……

Aoyagi Akimitsu booked the nearest flight at 2 p.m. and is expected to arrive in Tokyo at 6 a.m. tomorrow.

This kind of thing cannot be rushed, so he did not pack up his things. He planned to fulfill the agreement with the students before going back and accompany them to the old street not far from the hotel.

"Aren't you going with us, Mr. Amuro?"

Before Aoyagi Akimitsu left, he specifically asked Amuro Toru.

"No, I have to take my students to visit Red Square later." Toru Amuro shook his head and refused.

Aoyagi Akimichi didn't say anything else. He took Kudo Shinichi and a few Russian students from the International Department with him, told them to pack their wallets and belongings, and quickly left the hotel.

Seeing the target person leave on his own initiative, Amuro Toru quickly restrained all his expressions and went to the fourth floor of the hotel. All the faculty and staff lived on this floor.

He went back to his room to prepare, tampered with the hotel surveillance, and then took out professional equipment that could search for eavesdropping cameras and an inconspicuous USB flash drive.

The USB flash drive was developed internally by the organization. Once it was plugged into a USB port, all the files inside could be copied automatically. It only took a few seconds. Amuro Toru had to admit that the organization was better than Japan, which was lagging behind in this area, in IT technology.

He took his things and left the room. After looking around and seeing that no one was coming, he walked towards Qingliu Binguang's room not far away.

As his fingers were about to touch the door, Amuro Toru sighed softly.

He knew it was dangerous.

Infiltrating into the residence of an important target for investigation should have required careful deployment, just like the fake death plan, and should have taken into account all the possibilities of failure... Today's situation was special, and he could only take this risk once.

……

The rabbit was lying on the sofa next to the low table.

After arriving in Moscow, perhaps because he was not used to the climate or the food here, he became listless and had no strength at all.

He didn't want to disturb his teammates' interest in traveling, so he would force himself to talk to him so as not to make him worry.

Qing Liu Bingguang was also worried about taking him out, and he would bring something back every time he came back. Last night he brought back a bag of currants. The hotel suite here is the most basic bedroom and bathroom, without a kitchen, and the basin with soaked fruits is placed on the low table next to it.

The rabbit's ears trembled slightly as he was thinking about what Qingliu Binguang had told him when he came back to get his wallet, and that Beihu had suddenly encountered three serious accidents in a short period of time.

When Rabbit heard the details of the location and the accident, the first thing he thought of was the scene in Conan when Gin was looking for Gil.

He set fire to a cinema near the hospital, poisoned a restaurant, and released poison gas at the train station, forcing a large number of people into the hospital, just to find out where Rena Mizunashi was who was taken away by the FBI.

...Could this accident also be caused by the organization?

Just because Rabbit doesn't like Japan doesn't mean he wants to see such a serious attack.

After all, most people are innocent.

——When this thought flashed through his mind, a hand suddenly grabbed the rabbit's neck and pressed him hard into the basin of water next to him!

"!!!"

The cold water enveloped him, choking his mouth and nose and blocking all his breathing.

——The greatest and deepest fear of water deep in my memory, the extreme pain of drowning, all came flooding back.

The rabbit tried to scream and struggle. He even wanted to turn back into a human, but he had no strength in his body. The splashes of water made by his legs and feet did not even exceed the edge of the basin... His already weak strength gradually weakened...

who is it?

……Why?

His consciousness sank into complete darkness.

[You have died, please choose the resurrection method: resurrect in place or move to a safe area and resurrect. 】

[It has been detected that your willpower is 19. Do you want to exit the game? 】

……

Toru Amuro recalled the conversation he had with Aoyagi Akimitsu at the party a few days ago.

——"Didn't you bring your pet rabbit?"

——"I'll keep it here to look after the house."

I'm afraid what Aoyagi Binkou said is true.

Because I am not good at detecting signs of intrusion, I raised this strange rabbit.

After all, people will be a little wary of dogs that have been domesticated for many years and are accustomed to guarding the house for humans. They will not take the weak and helpless rabbit seriously at all and will never think that it can convey the information it sees to its owner.

So he had to remove this obstacle.

The rabbit's body floated in the basin, its black fur buried in a pile of gooseberries. Because it didn't struggle violently, the water didn't splash out, saving the subsequent cleanup work.

Toru Amuro simply dealt with it, making it look like a rabbit accidentally fell in and drowned, then quickly looked away to look for Aoyagi Akimichi's computer.

Undercover agents may hesitate to kill innocent people, but will never show mercy to killing innocent animals.

……

Outside a flower shop on the old street, Qing Liu Binguang's hand trembled as he touched the sunflower leaves.

The shop owner next to it was still introducing: "It has a beautiful appearance, the whole plant is useful, it has been growing facing the sun, and the meaning is also very good, yearning for light and bringing people good hope..."

"Many countries like it and have set the sunflower as their national flower."

Kudo Shinichi next to him was puzzled: "I remember it was only Ukraine, right? There was also the Soviet Union - but it collapsed 24 years ago."

The older shop owner was stunned.

Aoyagi Binkou didn't pay attention to this sentence. He paid the clerk, bought the vase of flowers in front of him, and then walked to another store next to him.

There was an elderly woman sitting at the door. She squinted her eyes and looked at Qingliu Bingguang. After seeing his face clearly, she spoke.

"Lyudmila, are you coming to play chess with me again today?"

"You've got the wrong person again."

Aoyagi Akimichi corrected helplessly. He sat opposite her, gently placed the vase of flowers on the table, and looked at her gently with the light brown eyes he inherited from his mother.

"But before you leave, I can play one last game of chess with you."

The timeline of the original work is a bit confusing because the serialization time is too long. It evolved from a big phone to a smart phone in half a year, but the time of this article is fixed.

The protagonist's life experience and the reason why he backstabbed the organization will also be revealed before the end of this volume.

In addition, I will not write such multi-threaded parallel stories anymore, and even if I do, I will not write too many characters... I don't have the writing skills to control it, and it's messy even when I read it myself_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 148 Good Luck (Part )

In the hotel, Toru Amuro copied the information in just a few minutes, put the things back in place, erased all traces, and left Aoyagi Akimichi's room.

The corridor was empty. After making sure that no one noticed, Toru Amuro immediately returned to his room and took out his computer.

He inserted the USB drive and a folder popped up. He quickly opened it and started browsing.

There is not much stuff in Aoyagi Akimitsu's computer, and the information he collected mainly comes from email.

His personal email address and work email address seemed to be the same one. In addition to emails from his FBI superiors and colleagues, there were also exchanges from college a few years ago, ranging from various school activities to asking professors to write recommendation letters.

The messages were mostly in English, with a few in Italian occasionally. Amuro Toru took a quick look at them using translation software and found that they were just daily communication.

Aoyagi Akimitsu's identity information shows that the Supreme Court Justice's wife, his aunt, is an Italian-American. They have no children and raised him as their own child. These emails may have been sent by her.

Toru Amuro didn't care about these trivial matters. His focus was on the latest email he received.

The email came from the FBI, and a supervisor asked Aoyagi Akimitsu to immediately abandon the mission in Pramya and go to Yokosuka base to assist in the investigation of the bombing.

Amuro Toru, who guessed it was his destiny, frowned and read the email over and over again, carefully pondering every sentence and every word.

Because the timing of the explosion was too coincidental, he had some conspiracy theories, suspecting that the US staged the incident in order to get Japan to make concessions on burden sharing. However, the tone of the email was full of anger and dissatisfaction at the sudden accident...

...Is it because Aoyagi Akimitsu is too young and is only "assisting" in the investigation, so there is no need to tell him any inside story?

More conspiracy theories flashed through Toru Amuro's mind.

He glanced at the clock in the corner and saw that it was almost time, so he thoughtfully turned off his computer, went downstairs to find the students, and asked them to start packing their things.

He did not lie to Aoyagi Akimitsu, he would indeed take his students to Red Square today.

——And, the meeting place he and Curacao agreed to meet was also there.

……

Red Square is located in the center of Moscow. It is one of the must-visit places for tourists to this city. Next to it are GUM Department Store, the Kremlin and other attractions.

The group arrived in front of the church complex, and the students, led by another teacher, bought tickets to go in for a visit. Amuro Toru found a random excuse to leave and came to the long covered bridge outside.

November is the beginning of winter but not the coldest season, so it is very suitable for traveling. There are many tourists on the covered bridge.

Crowds of people can be a hidden danger, but sometimes they can also be the best cover. Sometimes when Toru Amuro and Yuya Kazami meet, they will choose to go to the bridge where there are many people coming and going.

Amuro Toru was taking photos on the bridge like an ordinary tourist, looking around from time to time. Not long after, a woman wearing a beret and modest clothes walked towards him and took off her sunglasses.

He had never seen Rum before, nor had he seen Curacao, who was more trusted by the second-in-command than Binga, but he had heard rumors about her. So when he met those strange eyes, Amuro Toru recognized her at once.

"You're late." Curacao's voice was slightly cold.

"Sorry, something happened to 'that person' around me, and I thought it was a good opportunity, so I went to explore his room."

Toru Amuro quickly gave a reason for being half an hour late. Curacao knew Aoyagi Akiko, and if she hadn't been delayed in Canada for too long, this mission to investigate the FBI would have belonged to her.

Curacao looked a little better after hearing this. She asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did you find out anything?"

"He has nothing to do with the organization. He came to Japan to capture Pramiya, the internationally wanted criminal who killed the American official."

"But an hour ago, the FBI sent him a new order, asking him to give up this mission and return to Japan to assist in the investigation of the base bombing. He had already bought his plane ticket before I left. I'm afraid he will resign soon after returning..."

Toru Amuro seemed to be leaning against the bridge in a relaxed posture, but in fact the muscles on his back were tense. He remained highly alert to Curacao while talking about the email he had just seen.

Curacao's frown finally relaxed, and she continued, "Are you sure he won't find out about your investigation?"

"I've cleaned it up."

Amuro revealed his Bourbon side, smiling slightly mockingly: "Besides, this place is so close to Lubyanka Square, and he's an American. Even if he finds out that he's been invaded, I won't be the first person he suspects."

Lubyanka Square, the home of the Russian Federal Security Service, was also the headquarters of the KGB twenty-four years ago.

The KGB is a well-known intelligence agency. At its peak, it was able to infiltrate another country's intelligence agency and turn it into a sieve. The Cambridge Five were a shame to Britain but the pride of the KGB.
