Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

It's like it was taken away by someone else.

Next, there is the pharmacology expert.

The other party was changed by Tojo Hojo's will, so he became willing to accept interviews with reporters. Aoyagi Binguang took advantage of this and disguised himself as Kotomine Joanna to visit him a second time and steal information from his computer.

On the day that Tojo Hojo quit, all the people whose wills had been modified by her skills, except those who got rid of it on their own, had collective headaches and were hospitalized.

This expert should have been among them, but Aoyagi Binguang's follow-up investigation found that he was actually safe and sound. Not only that, but he also doesn’t like to be interviewed by reporters.

Out of curiosity, Aoyagi Binguang approached the expert's wife. The bookish lady was very easy to talk to. She told him that her husband also had a headache that day. Fortunately, a kind man passed by and helped him, and then he was fine.

The appearance and grooming of the kind-hearted man she talked about were similar to Glenn.

This also gives rise to two possibilities.

First, her own skills can eliminate the skill effects of other players;

Second, just like she took over the identity of Akatsuki Akatsuki, she stole the ability of [Arrogance] and canceled the skill effect by her.

Aoyagi Binguang didn't check Glenn's skills, not even passive skills - although he remembered the appearance of the person who fell that day and learned from the rabbit that it was a red player, he couldn't be sure that was her true identity. Appearance, he didn't want to waste the times.

The next year, he learned from Belmod and Calvados that Glenn was rapidly promoted in the organization and became Rum's confidant in a short period of time.

Goldwasser felt strange. He had fought with Rum for many years and knew this enemy better than anyone else. Even Gin didn't suspect it, but he felt weird and thought Rum seemed to have been brainwashed.

So the second guess gradually gained the upper hand. In order to further confirm whether [Greed] had obtained Tojo Hojo's skills and whether her own skills could take away other people's abilities, Aoyagi Binguang made a bolder attempt.

He proposed to BOSS that Glenn take over the task of solving Sawada Hiroki - to use the computer skills of this genius boy who is destined to die to seduce the other party to see if she will reveal her skills.

However, what Qingliu Binguang didn't expect was that on the day they met, his clone followed her out of the bar, and he saw with his own eyes those addicts being driven away easily by her... But just when he wanted to call her, his hand just clapped his hands. When he reached her back, his skill clone was suddenly released without warning.

This made Aoyagi Binguang even more curious about her skills.

Even when I used a device to stimulate the head of the rabbit brought back from Japan and tested whether this part of the body would have those black fogs, I was thinking about this.

……

At this time, the player who aroused Aoyagi Binguang's curiosity was on the opposite side, questioning his origins.

Qingliu Binguang didn't answer, his eyes fell on the other party's devil.

The demon of [greed] is a two-headed crow.

One head is raised high, while the other's head is always lowered. As if dead, motionless.

Thinking of the strange temperament of the other party when they met for the second time, Aoyagi Binguang laughed lightly and without any malice, and then glanced at the huge screen.

"Can I ask you a question?" he said gently.

"I was in good health when I was selected by the system. I was extremely healthy and normal both physically and mentally. Several others were only seriously injured and comatose and did not die."

"how about you?"

"——Are you still alive in your world?"

Chapter 197 Red Cannot Be Saved

In the Metropolitan Police Department, Morofushi Keimitsu and Furutani Rei finished sorting out the documents and left the meeting room together.

Furutani Rei works at the National Police Agency and had to drive back, so he walked towards the elevator; Morobushi Keimitsu joined him on the way, and he planned to go to the cafeteria on the first floor to get his lunch, which had been delayed for too long.

The elevator came up quickly and the two of them went in together. There was no one else inside.

Feeling the elevator start to descend, Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed softly due to the double fatigue of body and mind, then he turned to his childhood friend.

"Are the two of them... okay?"

"..."

Furuya Rei knew who he was asking.

——An undercover agent newly trained by the public security department and sent into the organization.

They are the first and second in the last police academy, whose number and quality are far inferior to those of the past. The second has completed training and has become a member of the organization at the bottom, while the first has some "problems" in his family.

"...He can't let go of his wife and children." Furuya Rei said helplessly.

How to select undercover agents is a difficult problem. Some people have watched too many movies and TV shows and think that undercover agents should be selected from orphans who have no relatives or friends, but in fact, such people are rarely selected.

The reason for doing so is simple: first, it is a peaceful time now, and there are only a few orphans without any relatives or friends. Even if there are orphans, they may not be admitted to the police academy and enter the selection range of the public security;

Secondly, having no relatives or friends means having no ties at all. The police have nothing to restrain them, so they are more likely to be tempted to betray.

Therefore, the two undercover agents selected this time have several relatives.

The one whose parents have left has a younger brother who is much older than him, and a girlfriend with whom he has a deep relationship;

The one who hasn't gotten out yet, although his parents have died and his family has debts (normal bank debts, no involvement with gangs), he got married shortly before entering the police academy and his child is less than one year old.

Ordinary police work cannot be disclosed to family members, let alone undercover work. When Zhu Fujingguang went to the organization to go undercover, he did not even tell his brother who was a policeman.

Under the premise of not being allowed to reveal any truth, the relatives of ordinary people have to face the "sudden" disappearance of a relative; and the public security police who go undercover also don't know when they can see their relatives again, and whether they will still be alive at that time...

The atmosphere in the elevator became a little dull for a moment. Just as Morofushi Keimitsu was about to speak, he heard Furukaya Rei continue.

"…But he said that his wife is very strong and loves him very much. She can take care of the children alone while he is undercover."

The two laughed together.

The second undercover agent will be able to get out soon, so Furuya Rei's current job, in addition to continuing to look for clues about known members of the organization, is to follow up on the work that happened a year ago.

The elevator reached the first floor, and Furuya Rei said goodbye to his friend. When he was about to leave the Metropolitan Police Department, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hey?"

"Mr. Fangtani!"

On the opposite side, Yuya Kazami called out Furuya Rei's real name again, but this time it didn't matter at all.

"We visited a game hall frequented by target No. 6, and the owner told us that the target had been there on the evening of November 11 last year."

"There were many accidents that day, resulting in few customers in the game hall, so the boss stayed near the target after saying hello... When the news of the headache accident was broadcast on the TV in the lobby, he heard him say something very strange."

Fūya Rei immediately grabbed his phone.

He realized that he had grasped an important clue and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?!"

"—he said, 'It's her doing again...'!"

Furutani Rei had no time to go back and report the meeting to the administrator. He quickly ended the call and opened the target person's information temporarily stored in his mobile phone.

Target No. 6, male, years old, a student at Jianggutian Middle School...

——Name: Miwa Kazuya.

In the photo, the young boy is carrying a school bag in one hand and a spicy chicken burger in the other, chewing on it while walking forward. In his open mouth, a pair of small canine teeth are exposed.

……

On the other side, Zhu Fu Jingguang sat down in the empty cafeteria.

It was past lunchtime, and the people who came were police officers who were too busy with work like him and missed lunch. A few detectives from the First Investigation Division who had been robbed of a case recognized him as a public security officer and avoided the seats around him with disgust.

Zhu Fujingguang didn't care about this. He ate a few mouthfuls of white rice. Because he was worried about something, everything he ate tasted like chewing wax.

This time he was not thinking about Aniseit, but about Glenn.

He had never met Glenn when he was in the organization, and had only heard bad rumors about his sexual orientation; Zero had seen him a few times, but they had never been on a mission together, so he had no way of judging his specific abilities.

——As a result, he was one of the people who caused the public security operation to fail completely this time.

Zhu Fu Jingguang swallowed the rice and looked up at the sun outside the window.

The sun hangs high in the sky, burning itself and emitting light that can illuminate everyone.

Rei Furuya said that Glenn was not sensitive to other people's detection, so when they met for the last time, he took the opportunity to secretly take a picture of him while the other party was distracted by the accident of his son dragging his parents away.

Glenn has a pair of brown-red eyes that look like the last rays of sunset shining on the land.

It's warm, but it seems like it will disappear at any moment.

But speaking of brown-red eyes, Baijiu once reported a suspicious person to the police...that person also had a pair of eyes of the same color.

She was a woman from a neighboring country who came to Japan as an international student to study for a master's degree. After the police failed to arrest her, she disappeared. Her body was not found under the building, and the enrollment record showed that she had not reported for a period of time and had automatically dropped out of school.

Her name is...

----

With her eyes tightly closed, Miyano Shiho gradually regained consciousness. The first thing she felt was the sunlight.

She opened her eyes.

She found herself still in the bedroom of the underground laboratory. There were no windows on all sides, so she could not see the sky and no sunlight came in.

Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment. She felt that her body was clean and she had changed her clothes. She remembered what happened before she fainted and turned her head sharply to look around.

"Shirley."

Glenn stood up from the chair beside the bed, his frown relaxed slightly, but there was still a hint of melancholy on his face.

Seeing that it was him, Miyano Shiho secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly she remembered something and looked around anxiously, scanning the tables and cabinets one by one.

She asked, "Where's the rabbit?"

Miyano Shiho didn't ask how the explosion happened. Since she stayed in the research institute with Glenn by her side, it proved that the explosion had been resolved, or the follow-up was completely under the control of the organization.

What she was worried about was the rabbit. If she drowned, she would be found and rescued quickly by the organization, but they would not care about an animal.

Moreover, when she fell into the water, she seemed to have seen something...

Miyano Shiho tried to recall, but she found that she couldn't remember.

"...He's gone." Glenn touched her head and said helplessly, "If you like, you can..."

He swallowed the following words vaguely.

Beside him, a crow with two heads that only he could see spread its wings, one head biting the bullet window, and the other head drooped lifelessly.
