Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

First, the reminder from Professor Agasa on the day he became smaller, and then the warning from Haibara Ai who escaped from the organization, made him decide to hide his identity well.

but……

——"Even if my teammates are prone to problems and hold us back, they have the right to know, especially since I brought the danger to them this time."

But Qing Liu Binguang's words in the castle echoed in his ears.

He didn't think much of it when he first heard it, but now he knows that Mr. Aoyagi had confirmed his identity at that time. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this is a reminder to Kudo Shinichi.

Edogawa Conan was in a dilemma, and his hands on his knees unconsciously clenched into fists.

In fact, it's not just this sentence... He always felt that there was an indescribable strangeness about Mr. Qingliu, whom he met just now and tonight, but he couldn't tell where this strange feeling came from.

He was very sure that it was Aoyagi Akimichi himself.

Such as fake replacement.

"Xiao Xin, let's come visit again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We have to thank Qingliu for helping you tonight."

Kudo Yukiko didn't know what he was thinking, so she mentioned her plan: "You just ran away on the road and scared me. Fortunately, you didn't meet any bad guys."

Edogawa Conan looked up, and this time he didn't complain that she was the one who played with her son first, but reminded her: "It shouldn't be possible, tomorrow is Monday, and Mr. Aoyagi should be very busy."

"What's wrong?" Kudo Yukiko asked puzzledly.

"Something happened at the Yokosuka military base, and he has to go deal with it."

What Aoyagi Akimitsu said to him at the hotel at noon was not entirely false; a rather troublesome incident did happen there.

After Edogawa Conan finished explaining to his mother, he turned around and looked at the tower that was gradually moving away behind him.

There were sporadic lights on in the high-rise tower at night. Aoyagi Binguang sent him to the door and left. He was probably back upstairs now.

……

Aoyagi Binguang didn't turn around and go back into the building until the car disappeared from his sight.

The tower staff member who had just asked him to come down was standing at the entrance of one of the elevators, discussing something with another man in technician clothes. When he saw him coming, he greeted him politely.

Qing Liu Bingguang looked at the elevator in front of him, which was parked on the first floor. "Is the elevator out of order?"

"No." The staff member quickly explained, "There is a problem with the internal monitoring. We promise that it will be fixed before tomorrow. All other functions are normal."

"Can we get on the bus now?" Aoyagi Binguang asked again.

"of course can."

As the staff member spoke, he pulled his colleagues aside to let Aoyagi Binguang in.

The elevator door closed quickly, and Aoyagi Binguang casually pressed the button for the floor he was staying in. He was the only passenger in the elevator, and he leaned against the wall in a relaxed manner.

As the elevator slowly rose, he casually raised his head and looked at the surveillance camera that was said to be broken.

The camera is installed in a good position, pointing directly downwards, and can cover every corner of the car.

At this moment, there was nothing on the transparent lens.

……

A few minutes later, Aoyagi Binkou's skill clone returned to his residence.

The original body went to see Greed and didn't know what time he would be back, so he simply took care of the few houseworks he had.

He poured out the unfinished sandwich of Edogawa Conan, put the plates into the dishwasher, started the robot vacuum cleaner to clean the living room, gave the snake eagle that flew back early a bath, then wiped his hands, returned to the brown bedroom, turned on his laptop, and went to the video website.

What he was reading was the result of Kazuya Miwa's plagiarism, the Japanese version of "Day and Night Chase".

Last year he said he was interested in this story, and he was not kidding, he really liked it. This drama is broadcasted once a week, on TV at 7pm every Sunday, and the website is updated simultaneously.

On the computer screen, the older brother of the twins made a request to his former colleague, expressing his willingness to help solve the case, but in exchange, he wanted to see the case file of his younger brother.

Aoyagi Binkou watched the scene quietly until the phone next to him vibrated. He then looked away and pressed the pause button.

It's almost 9:20 now, and this is an email from Rei Furuya.

Aoyagi Binguang was about to click it, but suddenly he seemed to sense something and leaned back quietly.

A ball of black mist silently peeled off from the wall and kept surging around him. Qingliu Bingguang, who was originally sitting in his seat with a relaxed expression, looked up, and another Qingliu Bingguang with a cold face appeared beside him.

From the appearance, the two men have exactly the same looks, body types and clothing, except that the real bodies, who participated in the treasure hunt today, met with Gin and Gu Qiao in the evening, and just teleported back using the mist particle coordinates, appeared more tired and had a colder expression.

"Is there a problem with Greed?"

The clone, who couldn't synchronize memories, saw the original's expression and asked in surprise.

After Gu Qiao finished learning Japanese half a year ago, they began to meet less frequently in the system space, and any organizational intelligence or emergencies would be discussed directly in the temporary group chat.

This time, the main body decided to meet in reality, mainly to confirm her mental state in reality, and to discuss Madeira wine by the way.

Madeira was the subordinate that Gin assigned to Anis not long ago. He was also the trumpet that she created after Aoyagi Akihiko reminded Gu Jiao a year ago. He was an undercover sent by "another" flower grower.

He was very surprised that Gin chose her at first sight. Given her special identity, he had to discuss with Greed how to arrange for her.

Since Gu Qiao's passive skill is invalidation, if he is even slightly touched, it will forcibly cancel other people's skills. The clone cannot go, so only the main body can go in person.

"No, it went well."

The main body leaned against the table and picked up the phone that was transferred back in advance: "She is just a little stressed out about what she has done in the organization and what she might do to me in the future..."

"But she accepted it," he said quietly.

The skill clone was stunned at first, then quickly understood.

It seems that not only the arrangement for Madeira wine, but also the main body has discussed with the other party how to deal with the organization in the future... no, it has notified the other party.

He said helplessly: "Sure enough, if people who deal with crime all year round still want to keep their conscience, it will only make themselves suffer."

These were the words his brother left for Shi Kaobing twelve years ago.

Because he was temporarily staying at his uncle's house, Anatoly had enough free time to disguise himself and sneak into the local training base, and then met Pu Siqinglan, who was the same age as them and also had Russian ancestry.

Anatoly himself rarely killed people, but he took the woman to the streets to teach her how to kill and how to integrate into the underground world. In the end, he even let her go.

——"Artemis, she is similar to us, also born in that land covered with ice and snow. She was deeply influenced by her father's bloodline and was forced to join a dark organization..."

——"I want to teach her how to survive here, but I also want to see if... if there is a chance to leave early, can she take another path in the future?"

With such a feeling, Anatoly let Pu Siqinglan leave the organization.

However, his kindness had no effect, and she ended up becoming a criminal and joining another criminal organization.

The skill clone sighed softly, and in his silent sigh, not knowing to whom, his figure disappeared on the chair.

Aoyagi Binguang looked at the empty room without any change in his expression, and he did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort about suddenly integrating into the memory of staying at home for a few days.

He sat down on the chair and opened the email from Rei Furuya.

[The marine search team found the spider's body. The DNA extracted from the body was completely consistent with the bloodstains left in his castle. The body is currently being sent to the Metropolitan Police Department's Forensic Office...]

Furiya Rei did not mention the cause of Spider's death in the email, so Aoyagi Akiko was not surprised.

While he was replying to the other party, saying that he would go to claim the body and notify FBI headquarters, he was recalling the information he had received from Snake.

The octopus is stronger than he thought. The tentacles of a giant octopus are powerful enough to easily tear apart the limbs of an adult who exercises regularly... Of course, it also has disadvantages. Its movements are not covert and it is easy for the target to discover it in advance.

Aoyagi Binkou took note of these key information in his mind and then began to sigh.

He must thoroughly master all the plug-ins provided by the system. In addition to the protective aura and two skills, various animal messengers are also an important part.

In addition to his own wolf and snake, he can also use his teammate [Gluttony]'s octopus and bear.

The octopus is quite powerful in the water, and on land, the bear is also a ferocious beast at the top of the food chain, with strength far exceeding that of ordinary humans.

Unfortunately, when he was in the United States, he used the remnants of the zoo who came to seek revenge to test his own messengers. There were not many of them to begin with, and there were no more for him to continue testing the power of various bears.

He didn't want to experiment on ordinary people. After all, he was dealing with members of an organization. It would be better to use people with certain fighting skills or who were armed with guns and explosives... It would be even worse to use police agents. The oath still restricted him firmly.

Aoyagi Hikari pressed his temples and told himself not to rush. He looked at the time and found it was 10 o'clock, so he put down his phone and stood up, planning to take a shower first.

But before getting the clothes, he first opened the drawer next to him, took out a palm-sized iron box, held it in his palm, and opened it carefully.

This iron box looks very much like a multifunctional double-layer pencil case used by students. The upper layer is only half the size of the bottom layer, and contains a small plate of green and white capsules.

At the bottom of the box, there is a signature.

Because it was put in many years ago, the paper has turned slightly yellow, but the words on it are still clearly visible.

Good luck: family safety and a happy life.

Aoyagi reached into his pocket and took out another fortune slip he had drawn at the shrine yesterday. He had kept it in his pocket since he drew it and had not thrown it away.

Very bad: Past enemies will come to you, please be careful.

When he saw the words again, he sighed in his heart.

He was an undercover agent sent by the organization, but in his opinion, the FBI, the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and even the zoo organization that had come to seek revenge many times, were not enemies.

——There is only one person he truly regards as an enemy.

The surging emotions in his heart only lasted for a brief moment. Qingliu Bin just thought about this communication with Gu Qiao in reality, and his boiling blood soon calmed down.

His fingers loosened, and the fortune stick that symbolized great misfortune fell lightly and landed right on top of another fortune stick at the bottom of the box.

Seeing the words "my family is safe" being covered by "a great disaster", Aoyagi Akimitsu laughed from the bottom of his heart for the first time today.

He put the box back in its place with a light heart, picked up his clothes and walked towards the bathroom.

I originally wanted to add more scenes about greed, write about her struggles and mental journey, and form a complete contrast with the male protagonist, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. This article is too frustrating, and I can't write any more. I just want to finish it as soon as possible...

Chapter 298: Beautiful Scenery

The opening ceremony of the Osaka Suzuki Museum of Art ended safely amid national attention.

Although a murder occurred during the period, the criminal escaped and attracted a large number of police forces to chase him, and finally his body was salvaged from the sea. The series of plots was so exciting that it was comparable to a criminal investigation drama, but for ordinary people, they just watched the fun, and what they cared most about was the changes in their daily lives.

As a result, the "Suzuki Tower", the tallest tower in Japan, which was newly built by the Suzuki Group and officially opened for business, became the new focus of people's attention.

It was Friday afternoon.

The first-floor observation deck of the Suzuki Tower was packed with tourists who came to visit Japan's new tallest tower. The floor was made of fully transparent reinforced glass, as if overlooking the city from the air. Although some people were so scared that their legs were shaking, they still praised this new perspective.

Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and looked at the people behind her proudly.
