Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

Drowning can last for dozens of minutes, but unfortunately it still won't kill you.

After trying all kinds of methods, Aoyagi Binkou gave up.

After all, he was not a sadist, and he did not do this for fun. He just wanted to make sure he could kill them directly.

Finding he couldn't, he summoned the largest animal messenger, an ancient snake, to temporarily swallow Binga.

This was discovered during the previous summoning. As long as you leave a mark (scar or name) on the summoned animal, you can call it out the next time you summon it.

Aoyagi Akimichi used this method to temporarily save Binga, and then focused his attention on the other people.

First up is Tequila and the bomber who killed two important police officers.

Tequila was supposed to die in an accidental explosion, so Aoyagi had him go to the apartment that was destined to blow up and gave him a box of bombs that would be activated on impact - to see if he could be killed in the same way.

As for the bomber, in order to control him, Aoyagi Binkou put a coded electronic handcuff on him and asked him to stay in the underground garage of the apartment building after delivering the tequila - that would be the deepest buried and most difficult to rescue place after the collapse, in an attempt to see if he could kill him who was originally sent to prison.

The car arranged by Aoyagi Binkou was very sturdy and could not be damaged by ordinary explosions and collapses. In this way, the snake he left in the car could survive and the electronic handcuffs could be removed in time.

This is what he does with the criminal (Black), followed by the two undercover agents (Red).

Aoyagi Akimichi treats each person differently, and the operations range from simple to complicated - the complexity of the plan is also a test - and the purpose is not entirely to send them to death.

After all, he had no ill will towards the undercover agent, and he was not sure whether it would affect the player's mission, so he did not set up a death trap.

As for Bourbon, Aoyagi Akimichi wanted to try to expose or evacuate him in advance, even though he could have remained hidden for three years.

So when Kotomine Janna proposed to print the materials at her own expense, he strongly supported her and helped find a better and faster printing factory.

That's right, printing a large number of personal magazines and giving them to people everywhere at the station, allowing many passers-by to see the police academy story and increase the civilian exposure of undercover Bourbon... This was entirely a plan thought up by Kotomine Jonah, the younger sister who lost her twin sister.

Aoyagi Binkou is not a self-righteous person. If someone else has a better idea, he will naturally listen to them.

——Besides, he was more accustomed to being an executor who obeyed the plan rather than a mastermind behind a customized plan.

At the same time, Aoyagi Akimichi wanted to lead Bourbon to other places to prevent him and Scotland from influencing each other, so he anonymously placed an assassination order for Pramia on the Internet, asked the killer to go to Moscow, and then told the boss about the FBI's internal evaluation of Pramia and recommended the killer to join the gang.

The leader of the organization would not personally take action on such matters. He would hand it over to Rum, who always likes to collect talents. And Rum would most likely hand the task over to Bourbon, who had some knowledge of Pramia and had the opportunity to go there at that time.

It all depends on how Bourbon responds.

Aoyagi Akimichi could not predict when the personal journal would be noticed by the public security. If Bourbon was notified to evacuate while in Moscow, it would not matter. He would not be isolated and helpless, and there would be a good opportunity to escape.

With the help of explosions.

Pramiya has been wanted for many years and has not been caught. He will not be so easy to deal with. He will do everything he can to fight back. Bourbon can take the opportunity to fake his death and escape in the explosion he created.

Explosion is a more convenient and feasible way to fake death. There are many tall, blond men in Russia who often fight, drink and stay out, so it is not difficult to find a temporary replacement.

Finally, there’s Scotch.

Aoyagi Akira only knew that Scotland would die in the original plot, but he didn't know when he would die, how he would die, or who would be present.

As for Scotland, Aoyagi Akimitsu also wanted him to reveal his undercover identity; but he also hoped that he could survive after being exposed.

Allowing people who don't need to die or who haven't reached the time of death to die earlier is changing the plot; allowing people who are originally dead to live is also changing the plot.

Such conflicting goals make the plan for Scotland the most complicated and involves the largest number of people.

----

This review is a bit long, so I won’t write it so complicated next time... I’m almost dizzy myself_(:з」∠)_

The protagonist wanted to test how to change the plot as mentioned in Chapter 34.

Chapter 157 Target (Part )

Regarding Bourbon, Aoyagi simply invited Pramya to Moscow and gave him a chance to fake death and survive;

With Scotland it was quite the opposite.

He wanted to use fake death to expose his identity.

The desire to save the person the organization wants to kill is the reason why many undercover agents are exposed. As long as the organization finds out that the person who should have died is still alive, it is irrefutable evidence that the executor is an undercover agent.

……

The first step of the plan is to select a bait with an important identity, worthy of undercover, and a fake death plan arranged by the organization behind them.

In this way, Congressman Kawajiri once again entered Aoyagi Akimitsu's sight.

In terms of identity, he was an old acquaintance of Goldwasser and a congressman who had a lot of connections. In the minds of the public security, he was still a person of high concern because he had contact with the organization and his eldest son was killed in the explosion, which was more appropriate.

The most important thing is that Aoyagi Binguang can make him cooperate with him to set a trap for the police, and he has the means to temporarily control him.

Before the kidnapping, Scotland told Aoyagi Akimitsu that the congressman who returned to prison would occasionally suffer from body pain and need to take painkillers to fall asleep, with a frequency of once every two to three days.

So when Congressman Kawajiri finished the existing medicine and asked the prison doctor (one of the organization's monitors) for new medicine, he asked the doctor to give the Congressman a bottle of the famous OxyContin.

OxyContin is also a painkiller, but it is highly addictive, with overdose deaths exceeding even those caused by heroin and cocaine. Its popularity is the biggest drug scandal in the United States.

However, after giving it to the congressman, Aoyagi Binkou regretted it. This drug was not addictive that quickly, so he summoned a snake to crawl into the prison and injected heroin by biting him, causing the congressman to quickly become addicted to real drugs and achieve physical control.

It's just not enough.

A determined person can overcome physical pain, but they also need to pay attention to the spiritual level.

Previously, Congressman Kawajiri paid a large fine for accepting bribes. That time, 10 billion yen was withdrawn from his account as a ransom, and the remaining funds were supervised by the public security. He only had the benefits given by the organization over the years that the public security did not find.

The money was in a foreign account and was taken over by the organization after he entered. This means that all his current assets are completely controlled by the organization.

Then there is the congressman’s youngest son.

The organization once made the congressman witness the bombing of his eldest son. It was a punishment at the time, but now it has two benefits - the congressman is convinced that the organization dares to be cruel to his child; the police see that the congressman and the organization have a grudge of killing his son, so they will think it is not difficult to obtain information from him, increasing the probability of carrying out a fake death plan.

Use drugs to control the body physically, and all property and children to control the mind.

Aoyagi Binkou himself didn't want to go through so much trouble, but he was not good at controlling people. He couldn't make the other party obediently follow his lead with just a few words, so he could only work harder.

……

The second step of the plan is to maximize the probability that the police will be willing to carry out a fake death plan.

It is far from enough to just avenge the murder of one's son and easily obtain information - there are so many people whose family members have been killed by the organization - Aoyagi Akimitsu thought of two solutions.

First, bring other important people into the picture.

Aoyagi Akimitsu chose a junior of Congressman Kawajiri who was in the same major as him at university, a nuclear physics researcher who had been interviewed by Kotomine Jōna.

When the researcher went to give a lecture at the university, he summoned a snake to drop a bottle of chemical reagent. Due to severe burns, the school immediately sent him to the best hospital in Haido Town, Haido Central Hospital, where Councillor Kawajiri would go.

It involves important national scientific laboratories and nuclear physics research. The public security department will make their own guesses about the terrifying situation without Qingliu Bin's guidance.

Second, use "gin" as bait.

Unlike Aoyagi Akimitsu, who is an unknown undercover agent in the organization and is not even allowed to use a code name when sending emails, Gin is too famous in the organization.

With his fame and status, Aoyagi Akimitsu believed that Scotland and Bourbon must have passed the news about him to the public security long ago, and the public security would be more vigilant about this silver-haired killer and his mission.

Aoyagi took advantage of this fame.

He borrowed his Porsche and drove to Beihu twice. During the drive, he did not deliberately avoid the street surveillance, which made the police think that he was scouting the area and that the organization sent Gin to scout the area, which must be a very important mission.

In addition, Aoyagi Akimitsu had also tested in advance what kind of person his Scottish boss was.

——A few days before the congressman went to the hospital, he told Scotland through Tequila that the organization was going to deal with the Hojo family.

Hojo Toika's father is a former public security policeman who was exposed and tortured while undercover, resulting in disfigurement. He abandoned his family to be an undercover agent, and now his family relationship is bad. His son died in a car accident not long ago. It can be said to be extremely tragic.

Aoyagi Akimichi gave Scotland enough time to send back the message, and also gave the Metropolitan Police Department enough time to discuss and respond. He wanted to see if they would rescue this former undercover agent.

It turned out not to be.

Until the day of the action, Mr. Hojo did not receive any help. He was not even aware of the incident, and no one told him. They tacitly accepted his sacrifice.

Through this, Aoyagi Akimitsu judged what kind of person his boss in the Scottish Metropolitan Police Department was.

It is not known what will happen when it comes to himself; but if it comes to his subordinates, he can be rational and cold-blooded, and put his own interests above all else.

This kind of boss would push Scotland to carry out a risky fake-death plan in order to obtain some seemingly important intelligence that is within reach.

As for Scotland's own wishes, this is the least important.

……

In this plan, Aoyagi Akimitsu himself did not have much to do in executing the plan.

He disguised himself as one of the prison guards and escorted the congressman to the hospital; he jumped from the second floor and led the other prison guard away; he ran to the Porsche driven by Vodka, pulled down the real prison guard wearing the same clothes in the back seat, shot him dead, and pretended that he was unfortunately killed after catching up...

Overall, it went smoothly. Even the surgery to implant the life detection device was completed successfully at the fastest speed. There was only one point that almost failed.

“Remember to leave behind what should be left behind.”

This was the reminder that Aoyagi Akimitsu gave to the parliamentarians in prison, referring to two things, handcuffs and pants.

Throwing the handcuffs in the toilet was to make another prison guard think that the congressman had run away; keeping the original pants was to remind the surveillance police that the congressman was still in the hospital - letting the congressman temporarily fall into the hands of the police was a necessary part of the plan. ring.

Unfortunately, Aoyagi Akimichi's prediction was wrong.

He knew they were incompetent and reminded the congressman to keep his pants on for them to see, but he didn't expect them to be that incompetent - to actually make a cross-ocean call to ask for help from an undercover agent who was in another country and was carrying out other tasks for the organization.

This behavior almost caused Aoyagi Akimitsu to fall from the road.

For Bourbon, a pair of handcuffs would be enough to remind him that the congressman was still in the hospital, and adding pants would be too obvious and he might realize it was a trap.

Fortunately, Bourbon didn't think too much about it, or maybe he thought too much... Anyway, the plan went smoothly.

……

Next comes the finishing touches.

Aoyagi Binkou had no ill intentions in giving the book to Scotland. He just wanted the police to discover the contents quickly so that they could inform Bourbon earlier that it was time for him to withdraw.

He wasn't worried that Gin would allow him to simply overpower or kill Scotland.

Not only that, Aoyagi Binguang could also be sure that the organization would not take action until he got out of the car and retreated to a safe place.

Once an undercover agent is exposed, he will be a complete desperado, with attack power and danger far beyond normal. It would be fine for ordinary members to chase him, but he is an undercover agent sent out, and he should not face such unnecessary risks.

Goldwasser, who liked to make the best use of things, might have given that order, but Gin wouldn't.

Although Scotland is exposed, the probability of survival is very high.
