Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

"Be careful on the road, and be even more careful at work." Mrs. Baijiu continued to take care of him, "If you have to work overtime again today, call home and let us know. Your father and I will prepare a midnight snack and wait for you when you come back."

Baijiu smiled and said, "Got it, Mom. I'll call ahead if there are any changes."

He changed his shoes at the entrance, opened the door, walked through the well-tended front garden, and headed towards the station.

Facing the bright sunshine, he touched the plain ring with his thumb.

A whale with strange scales appeared beside him, carrying a translucent pop-up window on its back, which displayed some information around it that only he could see.

Name: Baijiu months

Game ID: Jealousy

Plot modification restrictions: Not lifted

Occupation: Inspector of the 4th Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department

Faction: Red

Willpower: 80

Seeing that his willpower was the same as before, he felt relieved and closed the pop-up window.

……

Baijiu started playing the game a few months ago and has been living in this world for four years.

He went from resisting at first to accepting and gradually getting used to it.

If it weren't for the system pop-up windows and the presence of a certain person constantly reminding him, he would have probably forgotten that this was a game.

This game seems to have a high degree of freedom, and your daily life and behavior are decided by yourself, but it is actually very restricted.

They cannot choose their original families, cannot leave the country where the plot takes place, and players in the red and black camps cannot even choose their own careers.

They have to do whatever job the system chooses and cannot resign. Only the passers-by have the right to choose freely.

Unlike her ally in the passerby camp, Hojo Toika, who is satisfied with her job ("borrowing" from Conan) but dissatisfied with her family, he is completely the opposite. He is dissatisfied with the troublesome job of a policeman, but likes his current family very much.

His in-game parents, the Baijiu couple, live in a mansion. Not only are they wealthy, but they also behave in a more elegant and proper manner and will not do anything to embarrass him in front of others.

——Completely opposite to his mother in real life.

The Metropolitan Police Department where Shiraha works is also in Chiyoda Ward, less than 5 kilometers away from his home, and he takes the bus to and from get off work every day.

He never thought about driving himself. Even when his father wanted to buy him a car when he graduated from the police academy, he refused.

After entering the game, Baijiu suddenly developed an inexplicable fear of cars. He could take the bus or the tram, but he would feel extremely nervous as soon as he got in a small car, whether he drove it himself or took it.

He didn't know where this fear came from, he suspected it was related to the opportunity he entered the game.

——Neither he nor Hojo Toika remember what happened before they traveled through time.

Bai Jiu guessed that it might be the body's self-protection mechanism that made them forget. The system said that they were selected to participate in the game because their lives were in danger. People are afraid of death, and being in danger and on the verge of death cannot be a good memory.

He didn't tell too many people about his fear of cars. Only his parents knew a little. He only told his colleagues that he couldn't drive. They would endure the discomfort when they drove him to the site because he didn't want to be looked down upon.

There were quite a few people on the bus at this time, and Baijiu squeezed into the crowd. It was very noisy around him, and many of the sounds were not made by mouths, but all clearly entered his mind.

[It’s so crowded, where on earth do all these people come from… A bunch of old men are so annoying, a bunch of old men who won’t die, like blood-sucking worms…]

This is a young man who is sitting down and he politely asks an old lady if she wants him to give up his seat.

[What's so great about that... I'll let you lick the soles of my shoes sooner or later!!]

This is a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head. He is subconsciously showing a humble smile to his mobile phone.

[How can you drive a car if you are crazy!!]

This is the driver who braked suddenly. He waved indifferently to the driver of the car next to him who accidentally hit him.

This is Baijiu's passive skill [Pure and Bright Mind], which allows him to randomly hear other people's thoughts.

After four years, he had long been accustomed to the inconsistency of the people around him. There were some things he could only curse in his heart. Even if he was dissatisfied, he had to endure and maintain peace on the surface. He could not and dared not speak out directly.

——He himself is such a person.

The train arrived at the station soon, and Bai Jiu and several other passengers got off and walked towards the Metropolitan Police Department on foot.

……

As the police agency of Japan's largest city, the Metropolitan Police Department always has someone on duty 365 hours a day, 24 days a year, and is able to respond immediately when someone calls the police.

As soon as Baijiu entered the office, a person's voice entered his mind.

[Those guys seem to be still staring at me. Should I ask her... Have the higher-ups noticed me? ... What case is the Investigation Division investigating this time? Did they find out that the accident was...]

This voice came from his section chief, Katsutoshi Teraoka.

Bai Jiu knew what his boss was worried about.

A gas explosion occurred in Tokyo two weeks ago. In fact, it was not a real accident. It was done by Katsutoshi Teraoka in order to silence the gangsters who had bribed him before. However, in the process, he accidentally killed three other innocent residents.

When Hakujiu was first transferred to the fourth section, he learned through his passive skill of eavesdropping that Teraoka Katsutoshi had accepted bribes and sold police intelligence, but he did not report him at that time.

Because Section Chief Teraoka was very optimistic about him and knew that he wanted to be promoted, he always took him to take on important tasks.

Bai Jiu would not be so heartless as to hurt a boss who is so good to him for such a trivial matter that would not affect him.

But this time, Baijiu was in a dilemma.

In addition to that damn gangster, three ordinary residents also died this time. This is a major criminal case, and even in Japan, where the criminal law is lenient, the death penalty is possible.

Moreover, the person who bribed him this time might be...

Perhaps because he had been staring at her for too long, Teraoka Katsutoshi raised his head and looked at Baijiu. Although he was in a tangle of emotions, it was not visible on the surface.

"Good morning, Baijiu." He greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, you're here really early today."

Baijiu came to his senses and responded quickly.

Katsutoshi Teraoka smiled and said, "You work so hard every day, how can I be lazy as your boss?"

At this time, a colleague came in. He didn't bring his bag. He might have come a long time ago and just went out temporarily. He greeted Baijiu, "Good morning."

[You are flattering me again. You try to please me every day but I still don’t get promoted. ]

Baijiu's expression suddenly froze - he had long accepted the game, but he thought he would never get used to some things.

Another colleague walked up to them and asked the person who just came in, "What case did Section 1 receive? I saw them rushing out early in the morning."

The person who just came in answered, "A red-haired female corpse was found in Shibuya. She died tragically, her body was dismembered and thrown in several places, and someone saw the head and called the police."

They usually come into contact with many corpses with horrible deaths. Another one curiously asked: "Who found it?"

"A man doing morning exercises. The head had been stuck in the bushes for at least one night. No one found it last night. It was said that when it was found, the eye sockets and nose were crawling with ants, which scared the man half to death."

Many people who heard it showed disgusted expressions, only Baijiu looked away with no interest.

This case had nothing to do with him, but when he heard the word red hair, he took out his cell phone and sent an email to his current girlfriend, reminding her to be careful.

She is of mixed race, with a Japanese father and an Irish mother, and has naturally bright red hair.

They met when he was in police academy. He died in the game for the first time in that incident, but it was a blessing in disguise. She visited him often after he was hospitalized. Gradually, they became familiar with each other and even became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Her parents run a western restaurant in Mihua. Her family background is not as good as hers now, but her merits outweigh her faults. She is beautiful, well-behaved and obedient, loves him very much, never acts like a boss and orders others around, and never looks down on herself.

She was the person he was most satisfied with in this game besides his parents.

----

Beikacho, Colombo Restaurant.

"Look, he emailed me again! He heard about the case in Shibuya and was very worried about me, so he immediately..."

"Sister, I understand. You've been talking about this since this morning..."

"Just let me talk more. You're so busy as a reporter, and it's rare for me to meet you."

"It's rare for us to meet, but you're still talking about your boyfriend?"

A pair of striking sisters sat at a double table against the wall.

They had bright red hair and looked exactly the same, as if they were looking in a mirror, the only difference being their hairstyle and eye color.

The one with short hair raised her phone, her cheeks dyed pink with the sweetness of love, while the long-haired girl opposite her rolled her eyes, her brown eyes full of helplessness.

After complaining about her sister, she put down her teacup and looked at the other customers in the store.

It was after school and there were many students in the store. For example, there was a man sitting at the table next to them. He looked like a middle school student and was talking to the person opposite him with great interest.

"Poirot's case is indeed a classic..."

Hearing Poirot, the girl with long red hair looked at the other party.

This restaurant was opened by their parents who love mystery, and the name was taken from the American TV series "Detective Columbo". Influenced by these parents, she became familiar with various detective novels and naturally knew the famous Poirot.

The speaker was a young foreign man.

He had wheat-colored skin and was quite handsome, with long black hair with a subtle curl. A strand of hair was tied into a bun at the back of his head, and a hint of emerald green sparkled in the black.

As if he noticed her staring at him, he suddenly looked towards her.

—She noticed that he also had brown eyes.

I coded it quickly and will modify it after it is up_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 81 Caused by the protagonist's physique

……

As they saw the color of those eyes clearly, their eyes met.

She was stunned for a moment and froze in her seat.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Aoyagi... Teacher, what are you looking at?"

The male student who had been talking nonstop finished the rest of his iced coffee in one gulp. When he was about to stand up, he suddenly stopped and looked at the long-haired man sitting opposite him in surprise.

The long-haired man retracted his gaze and stood up: "Nothing. I'm going to pay the bill, you wait for me outside."

Qingliu?
