Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

"Congratulations on your codename, Glenn."

In the dark night, Rum was sitting in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. Behind the lowered window was his real face, and his tone was kind. Binga, who was in charge of driving, looked away with disgust on his face.

Gushe, who wore the appearance of Akatsuki Akatsuki and had just received the code name and mission from Gin, nodded slightly.

She originally wondered why Chisong could see Rum directly, but after reading the electronic manual, she finally understood.

Akatsuki Akatsuki is the second generation of the organization. He is an illegitimate son with an unknown mother. His father is a confidant of Rum. He was killed after taking all the responsibility for the Haneda Koji incident. After the incident, Rum found him from the orphanage and raised him as a half-son.

No wonder it's okay to harass code members with bad tempers. The other party can only be angry and cannot kill him directly. After all, he is a connected person.

"What is the mission Gin gave you?"

"Go and spy on Representative Kawajiri in prison."

Rum temporarily lent her to Gin's command, and Cornsheath could not protest but could only accept it.

After hearing this answer, Rum didn't ask any more questions. He lit a cigar. Before he was about to raise the window, he glanced at her.

Gushe's back was chilled by this sight.

"Gin said you were weird, but I really didn't see anything." Rum was really close to Akasatsu, so he said it bluntly, "But in order to shut his mouth, you go to the base later to make an identity. verify."

"……Yes."

The Rolls-Royce drove away, leaving only Gu Sheath sitting in the black Toyota, quietly wiping away a cold sweat.

There was no problem with Rum and Binga. Rum, as the second in command, was easier to fool than she thought. There would be no problem with the subsequent identity verification... The problem was Gin.

It was obviously affected by the skill, and even though they only exchanged a few words, he was still keen enough to notice that something was wrong with her.

After all, it was the winery's card... It seemed that in addition to carefully reading the information and confirming every detail of Chisong, she had to think of other ways to conceal her identity.

Chapter 208 Red and Snake

Because Gin has always been suspicious, and his direct boss Rum himself was not suspicious, the identity verification was just a one-step process, and Gushe passed without any incident.

Afterwards, she heads to Acupido Prison.

The organization has not been destroyed for many years, and it is indispensable for the protection of the umbrella. The organization has connections with many officials. Some of those people have gone up, some have gone down, and some have gone in.

This is what happened to Representative Kawajiri. He relied on his father-in-law and the organization to get to the position. He was caught for taking bribes. After entering, he was unwilling to give up. He wanted to exchange information for freedom, and he had already contacted the outside world.

The mission of the sheath is to monitor him and communicate to him when the organization needs it.

This task may seem easy, but in fact it is troublesome, because there may be people from the public security in the prison. They will be wary of people from the organization coming to silence them and strictly supervise the people inside the prison. She needs to be vigilant at all times.

The only good thing is that the police currently have no information about Chisong.

Zhen Chisong has never seen Jiang Guling or Zhufu Jingguang, and they have never heard of Chisong's name. She had carefully checked the electronic manual, and the level of understanding between them and Akamatsu was "nothing", that is, they were completely unaware of the other's existence.

Whether it was luck that they didn't meet each other, or Rum felt that they were more likely to be harassed because they were good-looking, so he prevented them from coming into contact... Judging from the results alone, this was beneficial to the sheaths, as they would not be exposed and arrested as soon as they entered. .

So she carried out her tasks safely under the eyes of the police, reporting to Gin at regular intervals.

Gin was indeed suspicious of her, but he still communicated smoothly on tasks and gave direct instructions when necessary. Even if he thought someone was stupid, he would explain it properly. It felt good to work together.

Rather than organizing the task, the foreign student whose whereabouts are still unknown worries Gushe more.

But she couldn't find any clues.

……

"My personal suggestion is to switch to channel 13 now."

Gushe passed Gin's message to the congressman. When she put down the food tray and was about to leave, she suddenly felt a strange feeling that she was being watched by something.

She turned around and saw that the window was empty. She noticed a strange medicine bottle on the shelf by the window.

"What kind of medicine is that?"

The congressman also looked over and answered hesitantly: "That's just a painkiller. I had a serious illness this year. Sometimes my body suddenly hurts and I need to take medicine to fall asleep..."

"Made in Japan?"

"America's."

"..."

Gushe said nothing more and left the cell under the nervous gaze of the other party.

Prison guards work 24 hours a day, and each person has a fixed shift schedule. It is her time to get off work soon. Gushe did not rush home, but went to the medical room.

There are now three organizations in the prison, one is her, the other is a doctor in the medical room, and the last is a low-level member.

That low-level member was the earliest monitor. He didn't know much about the organization. He even thought it was just an ordinary underworld group. Now he doesn't know about her and the doctor's existence. The organization did not let him withdraw so that he could attract the attention of the police and provide cover for her and the doctor.

The doctor has a special status. Although he does not have a code name, he is very skilled in the fields of surgery and mental illness. It is said that he has also treated Rum... but he didn't know what he did wrong, and he was kicked to prison by Gin.

The layout of the medical room is simple, just like the most ordinary outpatient office in the hospital. When Gushe entered, he asked straight to the point: "What is that bottle of American medicine?"

There was no one around, and the doctor's watch didn't sound an alert that it was scanning for something strange. He answered directly: "OxyContin."

Gushe's expression did not change, but her heart stirred up a storm.

This kind of painkiller is not considered a drug, but it is also addictive. Many people die from it every year. She has seen relevant reports in her original world and now.

The organization is already planning to kill a congressman's child as a deterrent, so why use addictive drugs? Are you planning to control him? This style is completely inconsistent with the literary talk and the non-stop gin in hand.

...That was ordered by someone else?

Gushe had doubts in her heart, but did not speak rashly.

This period of time together allowed her to understand the doctor's style. If it could be said, he had already mentioned the medicine in passing when he mentioned it. Since he didn't say it, it means he couldn't say it or he didn't know.

The doctor didn't notice her attitude: "Is that what you came to ask?"

"No, she asked me to ask you if you have any medicine left. If you do, give me a bottle."

The real purpose of what Gushen said was to get medicine for Curacao, who was on a business trip to Canada.

Super memory is a burden on the brain. Curacao sometimes needs to take psychotropic drugs, and this drug is not a drug on the market, but is developed internally by the organization.

Akamatsu's popularity in the organization is really amazing. He has a bad relationship with the male members, but he has a good relationship with the female members. For example, if you can’t come back from Curacao for the time being, the first person you turn to for help is Akamatsu.

"She..." The doctor knew who it was as soon as he heard it. "I don't have her with me yet. You can go to No. 5 Underground Research Institute in Ota District. There is one there."

Gushe nodded and left the medical room.

She opened the door and got into the car. She checked the inside of the car as usual - she was getting better and better at doing this - and after finding no problem, she stepped on the accelerator and left.

Aipado Prison is very big, and the exit of the underground garage is at the back. You have to go around half a circle to get out. As she was about to turn a corner, she inadvertently looked up and saw something crawling out of a window.

That location is the MP's cell!

"!!"

Gushe recognized this and slammed on the brakes. Her body rushed forward due to inertia. She didn't open the car door, but raised her head and looked upward through the front window.

- She saw a snake.

The color of the snake body and the wall are very close, almost pure white. If you have poor eyesight, you will completely miss it.

The sheath looked at it in confusion.

Why is there a snake here, and why does it happen to crawl into the congressman's cell? !

No, this is not the key point. She remembered that many white snakes were albino cobras, which were highly venomous. Could it be that the congressman had been bitten by this snake and was now poisoned and fell to the ground? !

Gushe's task is to remind members to turn on the TV and watch the live broadcast, which does not include silence. Now that something unexpected happened, she quickly sent an email to the doctor who stayed inside, and then called Gin after sending it.

Gin answered in seconds, and she said as fast as she could: "A poisonous snake appeared in the prison and crawled into that special cell. It——"

The next words stuck in my mouth.

- Because she saw that the snake was gone.

Gushe was stunned. She was only halfway through her words when Ginjiu opposite seemed to understand what was happening.

"What the hell is that guy doing..." He complained to someone in a low voice, and then said to Gushe: "Don't worry about it, it's not your responsibility."

"I see."

Gushe simply responded. For the cautious Gin, no matter how curious she was, she would not ask any more questions.

Instead, Gin took the initiative and asked, "Where are you going now?"

Gushe was not surprised that Gin remembered her prison schedule and answered truthfully: "I plan to go to the No. 5 Underground Research Institute in Ota District. Curacao asked me to get her medicine."

Gin said nothing more and quickly hung up the phone.

The phone call ended, and the doctor's reply email came. He told her that the congressman was wearing a health monitoring watch and had a slight fluctuation - a normal reaction to seeing his child being kidnapped - and that it was not life-threatening.

[Isn’t this kind of watch very accurate? 】Gushe questioned.

[It is not allowed, but now that the congressman is in prison, he cannot undergo surgery to implant a more accurate life detection device...]

This was the reaction from both sides, and Gushe naturally did not return to check. Anyway, she reminded Gin that if there was a problem, half of the pot could be thrown away.

She continued on her way, but the snake that suddenly disappeared was still in her mind. So she commanded the eagle that was originally monitoring the situation around the prison to keep an eye on the window, and immediately transmit the visual image back if there was any abnormality.

Just after assigning the task to her envoy, Gushe saw another email from the doctor.

[I forgot to mention just now, the place you are going to is above a sanatorium, which will house members of the organization with mental problems, and underground is the research institute. 】

[It is one of the human experiment bases. The supervisor is a complete lunatic, so be mentally prepared. 】

Chapter 209 Red and the prairie fire

The research institute is located on the outskirts of Tokyo, and Gushe followed the instructions in the electronic manual without getting lost. It was almost dusk when we arrived.

After parking the car, verifying her identity, and opening the elevator door, a new world came into view. The person in charge who was notified during the verification was waiting for her at the elevator entrance.

The person in charge was a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing a researcher's white coat, with an untrimmed chin beard and an unkempt look.

Gushe recognized the other person at a glance: "Mamm."

In order not to be exposed, she remembered every detail about Akatsuki Akatsuki, especially the members of the organization he knew. The man in front of him was hired by Rum from a company in the United States and had been with the organization for ten years.

Gushe recalled the familiarity between the two described in the manual and the undeleted email exchanges, and tentatively asked: "Why are you here?"

"Forget it, the original person in charge here got into trouble last month and was driven elsewhere by Gin. Rum transferred me to take over."
