Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

After she sent these two sentences, she held the phone nervously.

The person who was talking to her at this time was her sister's online friend, someone who also disliked Baijiu and sympathized with her sister's situation. They met in yesterday's rainstorm.

He is her only lifeline at this moment.

----

On the other side, as soon as Aoyagi Binguang saw the name of the person who was supposed to be dead light up again, he knew who it was.

He was sitting alone on a swing in a park in the port area, in the form of a child, exactly as he had looked when he was nine years old, before he joined the organization.

He swung the swing intermittently, and his shoes kicked across the water, creating ripples.

The wind in late October blows on your face, it would be nice if it were a little colder.

Chapter 111 Rage

Someone once said that guilt is a good knife.

Making others feel that you feel guilty about them is also a sharp knife, but it is more troublesome to use.

Yesterday, Aoyagi Hikari went to see Kotomine Chiana. Facing this victim who had lost her loved ones, he not only did not destroy the chat records between him and Kotomine Chiana, but showed them openly instead.

——He claimed that he was a netizen who “didn’t expect that his unintentional words would lead her sister to take risks, and he felt extremely guilty, so he came here to see if he could make up for it.”

……

[Artemis: The probability of following in is not high. ]

[Artemis: The proportion of women in the public security is quite low, and most of those on duty are men. They would not enter a crowded toilet of the opposite sex in broad daylight...]

Kotomine Jonah is being watched.

She would be tracked whenever she went out. Her cell phone, personal computer and newspaper office computers were all implanted with tracking software. The police would know everything she did online, what calls she answered and what emails she sent.

Including previous information, it was also checked thoroughly.

If you want to contact Kotomine Jona in such an environment, it is impossible to always rely on Aoyagi Akimitsu to divert the stalkers, you have to do something else.

Fortunately, Kotomine Joanna was diligent in changing her cell phone, so she had more than one old cell phone that could be used. He let her choose one, and taught her how to get a phone card anonymously and how to circumvent the supervision of her account to top up money.

And Qing Liu Bingguang reminded that if she wanted to contact someone outside, she should not send messages on the road - if the police saw her using a mobile phone and they did not receive the message, they would definitely suspect that she had multiple mobile phones.

If you really want to make contact, find a bathroom, a dressing room, or other places where the opposite sex must temporarily stop. Just don't stay there for too long, as that will also arouse suspicion.

【Colombo's Kamen Rider: That's good. 】

[Colombo's Kamen Rider: Isn't there a way to avoid them like this in my hometown? ]

【Artemis: No.】

[Artemis: The police will definitely enter your home and plant a bug, and maybe even a pinhole camera... If they fail the first time, they will try a second time, a third time, until they succeed. This cannot be avoided.]

[Artemis: Your parents are currently at home, and their schedules are reversed, which is an obstacle to their infiltration. In order to prevent them from causing an accident and forcing you to leave, you have to take the initiative to leave, so that you can hold the initiative in your own hands.]

[Artemis: Take the parents around, within half an hour, so they have a chance to investigate and install, but since there is not enough time, they can only do the most basic work.]

People are lazy. After squatting for so long and finally getting a chance, even if the amount they carry is less than usual, they will not think about waiting for the next opportunity to sneak in and carry more. Sneaking in and cleaning up the traces is very troublesome.

[Artemis: Or...]

Aoyagi Binguang suddenly paused at this point.

He found himself a little too "enthusiastic" and might arouse suspicion.

When it comes to people or things that interest him, he often talks too much without realizing it and can't control himself.

So Aoyagi Binkou stopped for a moment, pressed his finger on the screen and slid it lightly, waiting patiently for Kotomine Jonah's reply.

Gin's comment that Aoyagi Akiko is bold is very accurate.

The ideal outcome of him inducing Kotomine Jonah in this way was that she would believe him and become his weapon to stab the two players; the more realistic scenario was that she would realize that he was the culprit and want to call the police, in which case he would have to kill her.

The worst thing was that she seemed to believe it and was obedient on the surface, but in fact she was playing along and trying to lure him into the game.

So while Aoyagi Binguang was communicating with her, he was also carefully guarding against her.

He looked at the chat history and his eyes fell on the second message she sent.

This one is related to Baijiu's family. She said that Baijiu's mother was angry about her visit.

Aoyagi Binkou's ability to understand people's hearts is average. For example, he never understands Gin. Why does he reveal his suspicion of who is the undercover? It is better to keep the other party calm with a normal attitude to prevent the other party from being alert and then investigate secretly.

But as for the narrow-minded [jealousy], Aoyagi Binguang could roughly guess his mental journey.

Baijiu would be angry that others would not let go - I am already in so much pain, I don't want this to happen, why don't you let me go? I am wrong, she took the initiative to be the bait, and you also agreed, aren't you wrong? Why only blame me?

He started to feel guilty towards Kotomine China. After all, she was his girlfriend of several years. But after being locked up for a few days and being surrounded by countless accusations, that guilt was probably gone.

Judging from his mother's angry attitude towards the victim's family, she also thinks her son is not wrong. This kind of tolerance from family members will be a safe haven for Baijiu who has to return to work - almost the only one.

He will care more about his family and like going home more for the sake of a comfortable mental environment.

This is good news for Aoyagi Akimitsu.

----

Kotomine Joanna pinched the screen of her mobile phone hard. After entering the toilet cubicle, she finally didn't have to maintain a calm expression anymore and started to grit her teeth.

After recovering yesterday, she had guessed the identity of the person who killed her sister.

If a former outstanding police academy student is involved in an insurance fraud case, it is not difficult to contact and inquire about him, even if he did not become a police officer after graduation. Even if he unfortunately died in the line of duty like Kenji Hagiwara, you can just speak out.

But their attitude was completely secretive. When she mentioned the name Furuya Rei, they looked at her with a vigilant gaze that made people's backs cold, and changed the subject abruptly.

He brutally killed her sister for unknown reasons, came to monitor her and her parents, and tried to control her will with some special means...

...Being an undercover agent, is that so great?

Kotomine Janna, who had written a report about an undercover agent killing innocent people, was full of resentment. At this moment, she received another message from the other side.

[Artemis: This may be a little offensive, but I must ask... Do you know if your sister took any private photos with Baijiu during their relationship? ]

[Artemis: If they have taken the video, they might use this to threaten me. Although it is shameless, it is a good method...]

Kotomine Jonah's face turned as red as her hair due to anger.

The huge anger and hatred made her throat so sore that she couldn't make a sound. This speculation made her so angry that she almost vomited blood.

She knew very well that intelligence agencies were not criminal organizations and they would not kill people at will.

——But in this world, there are many ways to make someone shut up “voluntarily” without killing them.

There was once an intelligence agency that trained a group of special agents. They used their bodies as bait, took all kinds of private photos, and then used them to blackmail the other party.

After all, the KGB was once one of the four major intelligence agencies. Such methods are shameless and old-fashioned, but very useful, and many people will succumb to them.

Kotomine Joanna's body was shaking and she was crying.

[Artemis: Sorry, are you angry? I should have reminded you of this after you got home... If you go out now and lose control of your emotions, the stalker will get suspicious.]

【Artemis: You must control yourself. 】

You make it sound so simple!!

Kotomine Jonah let out a silent roar.

Artemis seemed completely unaware of her anger, and he sent another message lightly.

[Artemis: Anger is like blood, flowing to every corner of the body, and you can feel its presence with every breath. It is the greatest driving force for moving forward, but it must never be easily revealed. ]

[Artemis: Once it flows out, the angry person will die first in the fire of hell.]

Kotomine Joanna wiped away her tears.

[Kamen Rider of Colombo: You say it's easy, but can you do it yourself? ]

The person on the other end answered quickly, almost without hesitation.

【Artemis: I can't do it, but I'm trying. 】

Chapter 112 The author wants to fast forward the plot

After modifying Kotomine Jonah's will, Hojo Toika spent several days in worry.

She was confident in her skills, but at the same time she was afraid that if she failed, this petty and unreasonable fan would continue to cause trouble for her, so she asked Bai Jiu to pay attention to the movements of the public security, especially to keep an eye on Yuya Kazami, and tell her as soon as there was any news.

For several days in a row, Baijiu said everything was fine.

Hojo Toika didn't trust him a little bit, so after finishing the last Police Academy extra and announcing the suspension of updates, she secretly went to Kotomine's house once.

When Kotomine Joanna goes out in the morning, she greets her neighbors and her face no longer has that haggard look.

Hojo Toika did not follow. She turned into a lion cub and hid in the bushes to listen to the neighbors' gossip. These full-time housewives who were good at collecting information around them all mentioned that Kotomine Janna was very strong and seemed to have come out of it.

"It's a pity that Mrs. Kotomine hasn't recovered yet."

One of them sighed.

"Yesterday I saw Qiao Na taking her parents out. I think they wanted to relax, right? But they came back in less than half an hour. Her mother was very weak and had to be supported by them..."

"Speaking of them, there have been a few strange men around here recently who have been staring at their house. Could they be thieves scouting the area?"

Hojo Toika was very happy. She left without listening to what her neighbor said.

She was satisfied that she could solve such a big trouble for the person she loved.

Because they were in a good mood, after Hojo Shinji got out of school on Friday, Hojo Toika took him to the largest shopping street in Minato Ward, intending to have some fun.

"Next we'll go to the drugstore."

Hojo Toika looked at the number of bags in Hojo Shinji's hands and quickly decided on the next destination.

Hojo Shinji was holding the models and game discs she bought for him in one hand and her clothes in the other, the ratio was about two to five, and there was a painful expression on his face.

"You haven't walked around enough? If I go back later, my dad will definitely scold me again..."

"Let's go to two more houses." Hojo Tobiko interrupted him, "Stop arguing. I remember there's a model shop on the way. I'll buy you the one you liked last time."

This is the experience Hojo Toika gained from her ex-boyfriend when she traveled through time - buying the other person something they like as a reward is a good way to make them obedient.

As expected, Hojo Shinji smiled when he heard this: "Okay then."
