Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

Aoyagi Binkou pinched his nose again and drove away from Minato Middle School.

----

The next chapter is the revelation.

There are two ways to write about the mastermind. One is to take the protagonist's perspective and watch the whole process of his design. The other is to take it from the perspective of other people, revealing some details and foreshadowing in the middle, and finally revealing that it was the protagonist who did it.

The academy chapter adopts the second method, and I will try the first mode later.

Chapter 57 Behind the Scenes (Part ) (Two in One)

With the bomb dismantled, the missing teenager returned safely, and the murderer dead, the case seemed to have come to an end.

Next, the case will be presented from another angle.

Time, back to yesterday——

"There is nothing wrong with saving people."

When he heard these words, Aoyagi Akimichi opened his eyes outside the black Mazda car.

The rearview mirror of the car flashed in front of him, and the mirror reflected the driver's face inside the car, which was exactly the same as his.

Aoyagi Binguang watched the original body go away, then quickly turned a corner, reached into his pocket, and took out the car keys and another mobile phone. At the same time, a ring appeared on his right hand.

When a clone is created, only the original body's underwear, top, pants and shoes are completely copied, but the small items carried with the person will not be copied.

But those items can be transferred freely between the two individuals, and these things have just been transferred from the main body.

During the previous meeting with Gin, Aoyagi Akimichi had transferred the electronic handcuffs to his clone. When facing Rabbit, he installed a similar-looking fake handcuff on his feet.

This time, he was not worried that the rabbit in the car would notice that the ring on his hand was missing - the driver's seat of the Japanese car was on the right, and the rabbit sitting in the passenger seat could only observe the left hand. From there to back, it was enough time for the main body to put a fake one on.

The car key was not the spare key of the Mazda, but another car. Yesterday, after he realized that someone was following Kudo Shinichi, he went to find a spare car just in case, and it was now parked in a parking lot not far from here.

Aoyagi Akimitsu hid in a place where no one noticed him. He saw a man walk to the iron gate of Kudo's house after the Mazda left.

The other party didn't notice Aoyagi Akimitsu at all. He just looked up at Kudo's house and clenched his fists tightly at his side.

Aoyagi Akimitsu was certain that this person was the one who had been following Kudo Shinichi for the past two days.

He felt that the face looked familiar, so he used the ring to change his appearance into the woman he met that day, while taking a profile photo of the other person and sending it to Gin.

The school has a large and mixed population, and when Gin was looking for someone to join the school, he must have collected the information of all the faculty and staff in the school.

Aoyagi Binmitsu used an old email address that he had used several times before. He sent the email and in less than 2 minutes, Gin replied to him.

[Attachment.pdf]——Gin]

In the reply email, I didn't ask why he suddenly used his old email address, nor did I ask what was wrong with this person. I just threw the information at him.

[Koji Koshiba, male, 24 years old, graduated from Beika University. When he was 16 years old, he went to Austria with his twin brother to take the entrance examination of the Vienna Conservatory of Music...]

After seeing what the other person had experienced, Aoyagi Binguang was a little surprised.

It turned out that they were the same age, and both took the music exam at the age of sixteen.

No wonder he felt that the other person looked familiar. It turned out that they had seen him there eight years ago...

Aoyagi continued reading and came across a bombing case that Koshiba Koji was involved in three years ago. After reading the details of the case, he sighed softly.

This person is so unfortunate.

When Aoyagi Akimitsu rarely began to sympathize with others out of empathy, Koshiba Koji suddenly turned around and ran in the direction where he had been hiding before.

Not long after, he came back in a car and parked it in front of Kudo's house.

When Aoyagi Binguang saw this scene, he did not approach rashly, but touched his ring again.

This time, he used [Animal Messenger].

——Players can not only transform into animals, but they can also drive those animals to do various things for them.

As Aoyagi Binkou moved, two snakes appeared at his feet.

One was an inconspicuous venomous snake, and the other was a small baby snake.

They appeared out of nowhere at his feet and without waiting for him to say anything, they crawled towards Koshiba Koji.

Snakes are his messengers, and he doesn't need to use words or actions to drive them, just give them commands in his mind.

Aoyagi Binkou had done an experiment before. The animals summoned by the original body only obeyed the original body's orders, and the animals summoned by the clone only obeyed the clone's orders, and there would be no interference with each other.

The two snakes gradually crawled away. Qingliu Bingguang raised his hand and pressed on his left eye and left ear, temporarily transferring his vision and hearing to the young snake to facilitate subsequent manipulation.

Koshiba Koji waited in the car for nearly twenty minutes, and he stayed there too.

Twenty minutes later, Koji Koshiba suddenly opened the door and got out of the car, pushed open the iron gate of Kudo's house and strode in, and the snake took the opportunity to slip in as well.

This time, Aoyagi Binkou didn't have to wait long before he "saw" Koshiba Koji carrying the unconscious Kudo Shinichi out. He noticed that there was a bulge in one of Kudo Shinichi's pockets.

[Go check Kudo Shinichi's pocket.] He ordered the venomous snake, and then ordered the young snake, [Hide in Koshiba Koji's pocket.]

The viper is a native Japanese snake with a strong venom;

The baby snake is a cross-species hybrid he created. It has the body of a snake but the vision and hearing of a wolf, and can serve as his living camera and eavesdropping device.

The slender poisonous snake climbed up Koshiba Koji's leg and swam upwards silently. It quickly got into Kudo Shinichi's pocket and pulled out some of the things inside. It turned out to be a cell phone.

【Take the phone away and hide in the back seat of the car. 】

The snake rolled up the phone and quickly slipped it out of its pocket. Its tail quietly poked the volume button and pressed it to the lowest position.

The poisonous snake was half hanging on Koshiba Koji's back. When he opened the car door and bent down to let Kudo Shinichi get in, its body loosened and fell on the velvet carpet in the back seat of the car, then quickly hid underneath it without making any noise throughout the whole process.

Koshiba Koji checked Kudo Shinichi's pockets, but found nothing. He muttered, "That woman is honest..."

He drove away quickly.

Aoyagi Bingguang watched him go away and ordered the venomous snake again in his heart.

【Follow him after he gets off the car. If he tries to kill Kudo Shinichi on the spot, bite him immediately.】

The messenger animals can receive his commands no matter how far away they are, and he can also sense their specific location.

After giving the order, Aoyagi Binguang took the car keys and went to find his spare car.

But he did not follow Koshiba Koji in front of him. It was very dangerous to follow him casually, so he chose to go to the real address of Koshiba Koji shown in the information.

……

2:14 p.m.

Aoyagi Akimichi observed Koshiba Yukiji's house and determined the distribution of all the surveillance cameras on the street. He then let the snake enter the house first to observe before sneaking in himself.

Then, he discovers his tragically lost sheet music, two crudely made bombs, and a copy of... a criminal plan manual on a computer in his home.

Aoyagi Binguang looked at the plan to blow himself up and was silent for a few seconds.

The reason for killing him was not written on it. One could only vaguely guess from the scribbled music score that it might be related to music.

Aoyagi Binkou was not angry. He suddenly thought of something, picked up his phone again, and contacted Gin again.

[Can you get the police duty roster for the Metropolitan Police Department's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team this week? ]

He knew that the organization would also send undercover agents to the Metropolitan Police Department in Japan. They most wanted to send them to the Public Security Bureau, but it was more difficult to get into there. The Ministry of Transportation and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team were relatively simpler, and there must be people in there.

Gin's reply came soon.

[What do you want this for? —Gin]

[Someone is planning to blow me up, so I want to see which bomb disposal police are available tomorrow.]

A few minutes later, Gin sent him the duty roster.

Aoyagi Binguang quickly found a name that Rabbit had mentioned to him.

Looking at the name and then at the bomb, Aoyagi Binguang finally decided not to send a message to inform the main body that there was danger and let everything take its course tomorrow.

This is to fool Toru Amuro.

——These undercover agents are far more dangerous than bombs. He is not sure how strong Amuro Toru’s identification ability is. He can only fool him if he is really unaware.

Aoyagi Binkou is confident in his abilities. This crudely made bomb with a loud sound will definitely not kill him.

He did not touch the two bombs for the time being and tried to feel the position and status of the two snakes.

They are currently in Okuho-cho.

After the car stopped, Viper dragged the phone out of the car, hid it in the grass behind a rock, and then followed Koshiba Koji to an underground ark.

Koshiba Koji tied up Kudo Shinichi and locked him in a room on the second floor below ground, and then made a mechanism to destroy the Ark and cause it to leak water.

Aoyagi Binguang briefly observed the mechanism through the vision of the young snake and found that it was quite solid and would not really start to seep water until around 8 o'clock the next morning.

He didn't stay here for long. He cleaned up all traces, restored himself to the state he was in before coming in, and left.

……

3:30 p.m.

The Shiba family's home is also in the port area, in a completely different direction from the tower apartment.

When Aoyagi Akimitsu drove down a street, the door of a single-family house next to him was slammed open. He saw his arrogant younger brother, Hojo Shinji, running out of the house as if he was running for his life.

I guess the parents went home after being scolded by the teacher.

Aoyagi Akimichi didn't want to have direct contact with Hojo Touka's family. He was about to look away when he suddenly saw another person appear at the door.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with severe facial injuries, almost disfigured. He would probably scare a lot of people if he went out at night, especially his jaw, which could not close at all.

"..."

Aoyagi Binkou, who is very familiar with various wounds, can tell the source of the other party's scars at a glance.

His lower jaw had been comminuted and fractured, but he did not receive prompt treatment, which left him with such serious sequelae; the wounds on his face were deep knife wounds and burns from being pressed with red-hot iron blocks.

——These are the marks left by torturing the traitor.

Aoyagi Binguang looked at that face and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Could it be that Pride's father was a gangster? Or maybe...

At this moment, the other party seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, and his sharp eyes swept over directly. Coupled with that terrifying face, it was quite intimidating.
