Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

It is easier to protect Zhu Fujingguang who is an undercover agent.

The original author Aoyama did not reveal why Morobushi Kagemitsu was exposed. She has read some analyses by her peers and believed that there is a high possibility that it was caused by a mole within the Metropolitan Police Department.

Finding the mole is not that easy. The Metropolitan Police Department has more than 40,000 police officers, and it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to find a suspicious person. Even if the scope is narrowed down to the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, it will take a lot of time and energy to slowly investigate.

Hojo Tobiko didn't have the observation ability to find suspicious points from clues, nor did she have the patience to check them one by one, so she only did one thing.

- Let Hakubato look for people in the Metropolitan Police Department who he thinks are suspicious and who may know Jingguang's identity, and let her change their will.

Just cut it off with one size fits all and avoid all the trouble of troubleshooting.

During that time, Hojo Ibaraki frequently went to the Metropolitan Police Department. In order not to attract attention, she did not go in human form, but turned into a lion cub that looked more like a cat.

The animals they summon cannot use skills, but if they themselves turn into animals, they can use them.

She approached them one by one and modified their wills, making them absolutely loyal to the Metropolitan Police Department and not betraying information - even if she found the wrong person, it would not cause serious damage.

After Hojo Toika sent the message, Hakuba did not reply as expected.

The taxi drove in and out of the traffic and came to a wide commercial street. Hojo Tobiko looked out the window and saw a familiar bookstore.

A month ago, she could have held a book signing here.

Thinking of this, Hojo Toika started to get angry again.

She was a fan of several people in the police academy group before she traveled through time, and after she traveled through time, she tried every means to get to know them.

Hagiwara is dead, the squad leader is out of the question, Rei and Keimitsu are undercover agents whose whereabouts are erratic, and the only one left is Matsuda.

She pestered Bai Jiu more than once, asking him for Matsuda's contact information, but he always evaded her with various excuses.

So far, he had only agreed once, telling her that he would take her to a social gathering where Matsuda was if she helped catch another red player.

She agreed.

However, that operation failed.

——Another player jumped off the roof of a shopping mall while escaping, and chose to resurrect somewhere else after dying. In this extreme way, he avoided capture.

Are the Japanese police so scary? What's the big deal if she gets caught? Is it unfair for her to help Ling and Jingguang? You know, I can't go even if I want to!

I lost the opportunity to socialize and even had to cancel the book signing event. It was so unlucky.

Hojo Toika looked away unhappily, she opened the calendar on her phone and looked at two dates, November 11 and December 7. These were their death anniversaries, she remembered them clearly and even set a special reminder.

She would never let anything happen to them!

Thinking of this, she became full of energy again and couldn't help but send a message to Baijiu again.

[Arrogant: Can you introduce Matsuda to me? If there is a next action, I will not fail again and I will work harder. ]

It was rare that she did not force Baijiu in this regard. She wanted to be more reserved and get to know her favorite character in a more natural way.

"Buzz..."

Before Bai Jiu could reply, her cell phone rang.

Hojo Toika answered the phone: "Who is it?"

"Sister, it's me."

Her stepbrother's voice came: "Where are you now? Today is Dad's birthday. Didn't we agree that the whole family should come back early to celebrate?"

Hojo Ibika was stunned for a moment, and tried hard to search her memory, only to remember that it seemed to be true. A few days ago, her brother asked her if she had bought a gift.

She had totally forgotten.

----

In the Metropolitan Police Department meeting room, Bai Jiu sat at the back.

The last victim was an Irish female student, and this time the victim was the illegitimate child of a gang leader and a foreign woman.

Because of the involvement of the mafia, Bai Jiu from the fourth class was called back to work overtime.

According to the investigation, the two deceased did not know each other, nor did they have any common enemies. The only thing they had in common was that they both had natural red hair.

Ida Kou from the Investigation Division was sitting next to Bai Jiu. Seeing that he looked unhappy, he whispered, "If you are not feeling well, you can leave first. I will go to the Superintendent to explain for you."

"I'm fine, squad leader."

Baijiu turned off the system group chat and shouted this out of habit.

His gaze passed over the crowd in front of him and fell on the strange police officer sitting at the front.

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the words and actions of this Superintendent Masaru, but he was the only one among the people present who knew that the will of this Superintendent Masaru had been modified by Hojo Toika.

Because he was one of the traitors in the Metropolitan Police Department bribed by Rum.

Hojo Toika decided to help Morobushi Kagemitsu by modifying his will. Before that, she asked him to find out if there were any suspicious people inside the Metropolitan Police Department.

Baijiu's passive skill was very useful at this time, and he quickly found several suspects. However, when he provided her with the list, he added more names.

——Those people, without exception, are the ones who laugh at or look down on him in their hearts during his daily work.

Especially those who were obviously not as capable as him, but were promoted faster than him just because they were in the professional group. He didn't leave any of them behind.

Originally, Hojo Toika wanted to become an internal police officer and sneak in, but he stopped her, saying that this would cause trouble for the other party and would be exposed during subsequent communication, which would arouse internal vigilance.

This time the persuasion was rarely successful. It was not because Hojo Toika's personality changed drastically and she started to care about other people's lives, but because of other reasons that she gave up.

——Completely transforming into another person, completely changing from face to body, is a very painful process. She couldn't bear it at all and took the initiative to rule out this option.

"The murderer's method of committing the crime this time is even more sophisticated..."

The police officer, whose will had been modified and who no longer sold out information, was full of majesty. As Bai Jiu was listening, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his abdomen.

He frowned and put his hand on the painful spot, which he knew was a conspicuous scar left by a bullet.

This was left over from his first death.

The face-pinching function of the system is very useful. If it is operated in time, it can immediately repair the damage to the body and leave no scars on the skin. But he once wanted to use this function to remove the scar, but it didn't work.

If the injury causes the player's death, the face-pinching function cannot erase the trace and it will remain there forever.

----

At the same time, Beihu Prison.

The man coming back from patrol yawned and opened the door.

"It's time for the shift change - a few people in Area 6 are restless, so be careful when you go there."

"understood."

The young prison guard who was in charge of taking over stood up, picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair, put it on on the spot before leaving the room.

The one who came back was not surprised by this.

He knew that this new junior colleague had always been like this. Even though it would be very hot walking around on patrol, he still dressed warmly and was unwilling to expose his neck or arms.

Out of curiosity, he asked the reason, and the answer he got was that there was a little scar there.

...How many scars does one have to have to be unable to wear even short sleeves?

The senior touched his chin, his curious eyes wandering around the room, finally landing on the prison guard badge and name tag that the junior had not taken away.

The name tag only had the surname, and it said—

Akamatsu.

"...What a weird person." The senior muttered.

Guess who the undercover agents in the title refer to?

Chapter 86 Gemini

Kotomine's house in 5-chome, Beika-cho.

"I am back!"

It was already 7:30 in the evening when Kotomine Qina arrived home carrying a bunch of shopping bags. As soon as she entered the house, she sat at the entrance and took off her leather shoes, frowning slightly and pressing her red heels.

In order to meet her favorite author, she specially changed into a pair of more beautiful high heels today, but she was not used to wearing them yet. Her feet were rubbed badly during the day.

Hearing the door open, her mother poked her head out from the living room:

"You're back. Did you have fun today?"

"I'm very happy! I also bought things for you, Jonah, and dad!"

Kotomine China felt quite satisfied when she thought about the gift she had given personally.

She took out a Band-Aid from the storage cabinet in the entrance hall and put it on her heel. She sent an email to Baijiu telling him that she had arrived home safely and that he should get enough rest. Then she went to the living room with the gift.

The living room of her house was a typical Japanese room with tatami mats, where her parents were sitting watching TV.

As soon as she came in, she smelled cigarettes and her face changed immediately. Her father was absorbed in the baseball game and didn't realize his daughter was back until she came in. He quickly put out the cigarette in the ashtray and opened all the windows in the living room.

Her mother glared at him gently, then turned to her daughter and asked, "What did you buy for us?"

The smell of smoke made Kotomine China cough a few times. Her face looked a little pale, but she still had a smile on her face.

"Because Dad said he had shoulder pain recently, I bought him a massage pillow. It is said to be very useful for relieving pain. I bought you a set of skin care products. The shopping guide said it is more suitable for European skin. For Qiao Na... Where is Qiao Na? Hasn't she come back yet?"

Kotomine China noticed that her sister was not here.

"She came back half an hour earlier than you." Mr. Kotomine watched the game but remembered the time his daughter came back very clearly. "She went back to her room to rest as soon as she came back."

"Is she not feeling well?" Kotomine Qina asked worriedly.

"No."

Mrs. Kotomine's expression was both angry and helpless.

"She encountered a thief who robbed her bag in the afternoon. All her interview materials were taken away. She chased the man for nearly half an hour to get her things back... This child is really brave. I was almost scared to death when I heard her say this."

Kotomine Qina was also startled: "Then I'll go upstairs to see her."

She put down the gifts for her parents and went to the second floor with the gifts for herself and her sister.

Listening to her daughter's footsteps fading away, Mrs. Kotomine suddenly sighed.
