Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

Yukiko Kudo was just complaining simply. Since her son was fine, she stopped caring and started the car and left.

"Come on, I'll take you back to the hotel."

Edogawa Conan was stunned: "Not going home?"

Kudo Yukiko rolled her eyes at him speechlessly: "You are a detective, but didn't you understand the look in Xiaolan's eyes when I went to pick you up just now? She was obviously suspicious of you. If you go back there now, it will directly prove that you are Shinichi."

She paused and added, "I heard from the doctor that you have been hiding your identity from her since you became smaller. Whether you want to go to the United States with us this time or plan to stay in Japan, your attitude towards her will not change, right?"

Edogawa Conan fell silent.

That's what he thought.

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 already confirmed his identity at that time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a reminder to Kudo Shinichi.

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

In fact, it wasn't just this sentence... He always felt that Mr. Qingliu, whom he had just met, also seemed to have an indescribable sense of weirdness, but he couldn't tell where this strange feeling came from.

He was obviously very sure that it was indeed 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 suddenly spoke up, sighing as she spoke: "You scared me when you suddenly ran away on the road just now, luckily you didn't run into 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 to look at the tower that was gradually moving away behind him.

There were sporadic lights on 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 called him 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 this elevator out of order?"

"No." The staff member quickly explained, "The internal monitoring is broken. 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 sculpture 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 it was not fake, he really liked it. This drama is broadcasted once a week, on TV at 7 pm every Sunday, and the website is updated simultaneously.

On the computer screen, the older brother of the twins made a request to his former colleagues, expressing his willingness to assist in solving the case, but in exchange, he wanted to see the case file of his younger brother's past.

Aoyagi Binguang stared at the scene until the phone next to him vibrated. He then looked away, pressed the pause button, and picked up the phone.

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 surged around him. Aoyagi Binguang, who was originally sitting in his seat with a relaxed expression, looked up, and another Aoyagi Binguang with a cold face appeared beside him.

From the outside, the two have the same appearance, body type and clothing, but the real body, 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, looks more dusty and cold. "Is there a problem with [Greed]?"

The clone who couldn't synchronize memories saw his expression and asked in surprise.

After Gu Qiao finished learning Japanese half a year ago, they reduced their meetings in the system space, and any organizational intelligence or emergencies would be discussed directly in the temporary group chat.

This time the original body decided to meet in reality, one was to confirm her mental state in reality, and the other was to discuss the Madeira wine that Gin had recently assigned to his subordinate.

——Madeira wine is the trumpet that Gu Qiao created after Qingliu Bingguang reminded her a year ago. It is the undercover sent by "another" flower grower.

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

Moreover, 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 the main body has to 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.

He sighed softly, "Sure enough...People who deal with crime all year round still want to keep their conscience, which will only make them suffer."

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

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

He himself rarely killed people, but he took the girl to the street to teach her how to kill and how to integrate into the world of shadows. In the end, he even let her go to prevent her from falling into the organization.

Although she eventually became a criminal, at least she did not join the organization that Goldwasser belonged to.

The skill clone sighed, and in his silent sigh, his figure quietly disappeared on the chair, leaving only the lonely figure leaning against the table.

Aoyagi Binkou's expression did not change at all. He did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort at suddenly integrating into the memory of staying at home for a few days. He opened the email from Furukaya Rei and sat down on the chair.

[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 sent a reply to the other party, saying that he would go to claim the body and notify the FBI headquarters, he recalled the information he received from the snake.

The octopus is stronger than he thought. The tentacles of a giant octopus are strong enough to easily tear apart the limbs of an adult who exercises regularly. However, it also has disadvantages. Its movements are not covert and can be easily discovered by the target in advance.

Aoyagi Binguang took note of these key information in his mind and then sighed softly.

He has to 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 an animal at the top of the food chain, with power 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 they had been used up. There were no more people left for him to test the power of various bears.

He didn't want to test ordinary people. After all, he was dealing with members of an organization. It would be better to test them with people who had certain fighting abilities or were armed with guns or explosives... It would be even worse to test them with police agents, as the oath would restrict him.

Qing Liu Bingguang pressed his temple helplessly, telling himself not to rush. He looked at the time and found that it was 10 o'clock. He put down his phone and stood up, planning to take a shower first.

Just as he was about to turn off the computer, he caught a glimpse of the paused scene on the screen out of the corner of his eye, which reminded him of the progress of the plot in front of him and made him stop.

A second later, Qingliu Bingguang sat down again. He opened the drawer next to him, took out an iron box the size of a palm, held it in his palm, and opened it carefully.

The iron box is a bit 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 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 new 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 out 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 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 of greed, write about her entanglement 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. I can't write it anymore. I just want to finish it as soon as possible... (End of this chapter)
