Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

Miwa Kazuya remembered the unexplained steel bar incident and had a bad feeling. Just then the elevator arrived, he quickly moved in, then immediately took out his cell phone and asked his teammates for help.

[Gluttony: I felt like someone was watching me in the hospital. The police told me during the interview that the steel bar fall might have been caused by human...]

He is not a mute, nor is he a tough guy who can handle everything alone. As an ordinary passerby, he should just shout for help when he should!

It is better to be despised and persecuted than to wait until something big happens and then regret it!

Chapter 256: Family conflicts in Mihua

Kazuya Miwa has always had complicated feelings towards Aoyagi Akiko.

He controlled him and semi-forced him to share the cheats, but at the same time provided a lot of practical help. Apart from anything else, the fake identity that could withstand official investigation and allow people to rent a house normally was something that Sanlunhe had to thank him for.

To put it simply - I believe in your ability, but I absolutely cannot trust your conscience!

This teammate, whose conscience was hard to trust, not only provided a new identity for Miwa Kazuya, but also gave him a brief safety training for life in the United States.

Which neighborhoods are dangerous, where gangs gather and where fights are likely to break out, which places have many drug addicts... and, trust your own intuition.

“Intuition can actually be divided into two types.”

Aoyagi Akiko spoke patiently, like a teacher teaching a child how to use a spoon: "The first is an instinctive reaction as an animal. This has no scientific basis, it is more like a kind of 'precognition'."

Sanluan Kazuya was puzzled: "I know that humans are advanced animals, but the term 'precognition' is too..."

Aoyagi Akimitsu: "Let me give you an example. You keep your head down in class and dare not look at the teacher. Suddenly you have a bad feeling that the teacher will call on you to answer a question. And then you are really called on."

Miwa Kazuya: “…”

I have to say, this example was so appropriate, so appropriate that he suddenly dreamed of returning to campus and recalling what it felt like.

"What about the second one?" he asked.

"Your eyes, ears or other organs have already collected information about certain dangers around you, but your brain reacts too slowly to process the information. All that's left is the feeling of danger, which you think is so-called intuition."

When Aoyagi Akimichi said this, he also smiled lightly at Miwa Kazuya.

Miwa Kazuya's scalp suddenly felt tingling, and he experienced firsthand what it meant to have goose bumps.

"Intuition is sometimes very useful." Qing Liu Bingguang said slowly, "Just like just now, I wanted to kill you very much. Although I didn't pick up a weapon, didn't get close to you, and even my expression didn't show any malice...but you still sensed danger and reacted with fear."

"If you have similar feelings in the future, avoid me immediately." Qing Liu Bingguang returned to his normal expression, "Or, you can ask me for help."

"As long as there is no conflict of interest, I will come and help you."

……

Miwa Kazuya came to the convenience store on the first floor of the hospital.

This convenience store is slightly larger than the one outside on the street. There are several tables placed against the wall where medical staff are eating.

After entering the store, the feeling of danger disappeared temporarily, but Sanwa Kazuo did not relax his vigilance. He looked outside through the glass while waiting for news from Aoyagi Akimitsu.

This time the other party responded quickly.

[Rage: You just had a hunch, but you didn't actually see the other person? ]

[Gluttony: I didn’t see it, but this feeling makes me feel uneasy... I’m not in the ward now, I’m in the convenience store on the first floor, surrounded by medical staff and other patients. ]

【Rage: You did the right thing. 】

[Rage: If he was really the one who pushed the steel bar down, he wouldn't dare let others see his face, and he wouldn't attack you in a crowded place while he still has his sanity.]

【Angry: If you are hungry, you can eat something at a convenience store. Buy bread or biscuits with the mouth of the bag completely sealed. Try not to buy bento or oden. Maintain good hygiene habits and don't touch things randomly. 】

Sanluan Heye became a little nervous and wrote down every word the other party said.

【Gluttony: When will you arrive? 】

[Rage: I'm in the car, two stops to go, you should be able to see me through the location. ]

Miwa Kazuya quickly turned on the positioning function of the black group chat. The positioning range of the group chat was not large, only 5 kilometers around, and he really saw a black dot moving towards here.

【Gluttony: I saw it. When you get there, I'll go up with you. 】

[Angry: Wait a minute. I have work to do, and the other party is also on the fourth floor. I will go there to check the situation first. When I am sure there is no problem, I will send you a message.]

【Gluttony: Good.】

Miwa Kazuya breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this teammate is sometimes unscrupulous, most of the time, he is really reliable.

Sanlunhe was not surprised that Qingliu Bin arrived in an instant without using any skills just by taking a ride. He had a vague feeling that this teammate would not rely on the skills and other plug-ins given by the system unless necessary...

Feeling relieved for the time being, Sanlun Heye closed the group chat, bought a pineapple bun and mineral water, and after making sure the packaging was normal, he sat down and started to eat slowly.

At this time, two nurses came in. They each bought a lunch box and sat down behind Miwa Kazuya.

They concentrated on eating for a while, then began to talk in low voices, just loud enough for Miwa Kazuya to hear clearly.

"How long has President Kawai been in the hospital?"

"Just one month." Another sighed, "He has a bad heart. This is the second time he's been hospitalized this year."

"It's been so long? Why haven't I seen anyone come to visit him?"

Hearing the familiar surname, Miwa Kazuya paused with his fingers pinching the pineapple bun.

He wondered if he had awakened some protagonist's physique, or if the two nurses knew that he had just met the president and deliberately sat in the back and told him about it. This is often played out in movies and TV dramas.

Miwa Kazuya was secretly alert, but soon he realized that he might be fighting wits with the air, and they didn't pay any attention to him at all.

"His son came here once last week." The nurse on the right sighed, "But it would have been better if he hadn't come. As soon as he came, he quarreled with his father and made a lot of noise."

The one on the left put down his chopsticks: "President Kawai's son? I think I've seen reports about him. He studied in the United States a few years ago and was offered jobs by several software companies, but he didn't like any of them and returned to Japan. He didn't go to his father's company either, but went to start a new game company..."

The nurse on the right was surprised: "Ah? How is his company doing now? What game did he make? Is it fun?"

"Don't mention it. My boyfriend bought it and complained to me for a long time after playing it. He said that the design was problematic and that there weren't enough clues for investigation. He advised me not to waste my money."

Miwa Kazuya recalled his game library and popular lists.

The clues for the investigation... Could it be that he was making a crime-solving game? Mystery novels were very popular in this world, and crime dramas were popular, but detective puzzle games were unpopular, and he didn't remember any of them being popular.

The two gossipy angels in white quickly finished their lunch boxes and left the convenience store, not noticing that there was an eavesdropping passerby following them.

Miwa Kazuya ate the remaining bread slowly. It was not until Aoyagi Binguang sent him a message saying "You can come back" that he threw away the packaging bag and went upstairs with the remaining half of the mineral water.

Back on the fourth floor again, Miwa Kazuya looked around warily.

He did not feel that kind of gaze again. He opened the group chat to check the location, but saw that Aoyagi Binguang was not in his ward, but in the room at the end with two foreign bodyguards.

"...?"

[Rage: My real body is working, and my skill clone is staying in your ward. You can come in directly. ]

As if sensing his doubts, his teammates sent him a message.

Sanlunhe did not hesitate any longer and walked straight to his ward 404 with his crutches.

Just as he reached the door and before he could open it, the door of the ward opposite 404 was slammed open. Miwa Kazuya turned his head in surprise and saw a young man walking out angrily.

The other person's clothes were recognizable as famous brands, but they were a bit old, and a watch was visible on his wrist. Sanlun and the dog owner had a similar watch before he traveled through time, and it was a famous watch worth at least six figures.

He is about the same height as Miwa Kazuya, has the same dyed brown hair, and even has a similar hairstyle.

The young man didn't even look at Miwa Kazuya, just walked past him and headed towards the elevator.

Miwa Kazuya looked at his back and then looked at President Kawai in the ward.

The president's face was terribly gloomy. He seemed to have completely ignored Miwa Kazuya who was not far away. His eyes were fixed on the direction the young man left.

When they met in the morning, his back was straight and he looked very energetic. But at this moment, maybe because he was too angry, Miwa Kazuya found that his shoulders had completely collapsed.

Even if a person is still standing, it seems that he will fall down in the next second.

"..."

Miwa Kazuya silently withdrew his gaze and entered Ward 404.

He is just a passerby. There is no need for him to interfere in other people's family disputes. It is enough for him to mind his own business.

Chapter 257 Perfect Crime?

In the ward, Aoyagi Binguang had indeed arrived.

He sat on the sofa against the wall. It was a good position. If someone else came in, they wouldn't notice him at first glance, but he could immediately see the other person, cancel his skills and disappear from the room.

The soundproofing of the ward was okay. Miwa Kazuya closed the door, looked his teammates up and down, and his eyes fell on their hair.

"Why did you change your hairstyle?" he asked curiously.

Unlike the past buns with long hair hanging loose, today Qing Liubin tied up her hair completely, with a low ponytail draped diagonally across her chest. She used an ordinary rubber band to tie her hair, not the emerald.

"The work partner I visited today is more accustomed to me like this," Aoyagi Akimitsu replied.

Miwa Kazuya knew that he was referring to the patient in the ward at the end of the corridor. The bodyguard was a foreigner, and the people inside were most likely foreigners. He never asked too many questions about Aoyagi Akimitsu's work, so he honestly put his crutches aside and sat back on the bed.

Aoyagi Binguang walked to the door, fiddled with the handle a few times, and successfully stuck the lock tongue to prevent someone from suddenly opening the door while he was talking. Then he sat on the chair next to the bed.

Miwa Kazuya watched his teammates' actions and did not stop them at all.

He really wanted to ask directly about the steel bar incident and who the person who was staring at him was, but seeing Qing Liu Binguang's calm and composed look in front of him, it would seem a bit useless for him to rush for the answer... so he decided to be polite first.

He noticed a handbag next to the bedside table: "What is this?"

Qing Liu Bingguang picked up the bag and handed it to him: "I didn't know how many days you would be in the hospital, so I brought you some comfort items to relieve your boredom."

Miwa Kazuya looked down at the bag, and when he saw the gift inside, he was stunned.

What Aoyagi Binkou gave him was the latest game console and several boxes of game cartridges. He basically remembered the names of all the popular games in recent years.

"……Thanks."

Miwa Kazuya scratched his cheek embarrassedly, and his feelings towards Aoyagi Binkou became more complicated. "Actually, uh, you don't have to spend so much money. I won't be staying here for long. I will be discharged next Monday..."

Under his gaze, Aoyagi Binguang did not change his expression or say with a grim smile "I'll extend your time for a while", but just smiled faintly.

"It seems your injury is not serious, that's good."

Miwa Kazuya laughed dryly and decided not to beat around the bush. He got straight to the point and asked, "Are there any suspicious strangers around here?"
