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

The second surprise was the arrival of Scotch whisky.

Curacao knocked him down, and Rum sent people to the hotel to pick him up. Among the members sent were former members of the Nican Society, two of whom happened to be the messengers replaced by Gu Jiao, and she got the information at the first time.

To be honest, Gu Jiao was surprised to see him. After all, in her impression, in order to ensure the safety of the undercover agent, even if he did not change his identity or job, he should at least change his place and should not continue to stay in the Metropolitan Police Department.

But think about Shuichi Akai who actively chased the organization, and Rei Furuya who appeared in front of Kiel in broad daylight with the identity of a public security officer not long ago... The undercover agents in this world and the organizations behind them don't seem to care much about this.

The existence of Scotland is even more of a headache for Gu Jiao.

Whether it was out of empathy as a fellow undercover agent or personal interest - Zhu Fu Jingguang was one of the five members of the police academy and the target of jealousy's mission. Even though he had quit the game, she did not intend to ruin his mission - she did not want to see Zhu Fu Jingguang get into trouble.

Fortunately, Gu Qiao was well prepared in this regard. She had secretly modified Rum's consciousness, asking him to show mercy and not kill the undercover on the spot if he encountered one, but to capture him alive if possible.

The modification method is very simple. Of course, she cannot use the excuse of "killing is wrong" for this kind of villain. Instead, she leads his thoughts to the point that "this way we can obtain intelligence about our mortal enemy."

Rum has conducted similar secret investigations over the years, and he himself would not be suspicious; others would not doubt it even if they knew about it. Many people know that Rum has always been easily fooled when facing Goldwasser.

Saving lives is the most important thing. There are many ways to rescue people afterwards.

Originally, Gu Qiao planned to have his messenger give Scotland some slack when picking up the host, allowing him to find a chance to escape on his own. However, not long after, an accident occurred at the banquet.

First it was the contestant, then the congressman, both of them met with accidents one after another within a very short period of time.

After entering the venue, Gu Jiao met with some people from TV stations. While shaking hands, he controlled their vision and turned their eyes into his own "surveillance".

Therefore, she saw with her own eyes that a reporter next to Kiel raised his camera in the direction of Pisco and took a picture at the moment of the accident.

The accident in the original book happened.

——The murderer, the method and the deceased have not changed, but the scene has changed, the NPCs around have changed, and it may even be inserted into another case... As expected, the original important plot still happened.

Although it was an emergency, there were active police officers and detectives on the scene, so the situation was generally orderly.

Aoyagi Akimitsu installed a miniature camera backstage before the competition started. In order to close the case as soon as possible, he followed the police when they went backstage to check on another body.

There was also a sneaky figure following behind, and Gu Qiao judged from his height and body shape that it should be Kudo Shinichi in disguise. She did not alert her temporary ally and continued to stay at the scene as a foreign guest who was accidentally involved in the incident.

But soon, another discovery forced her to contact Aoyagi Akimitsu quickly.

Through the surveillance cameras scattered in different corners of the banquet hall, Gu Qiao saw Curacao looking for the napkin that was used as a cover. She hadn't noticed that a reporter had taken a photo of Pisco.

Gu Jiao's focus was not here. She noticed Curacao's pockets. It was not obvious when she was standing just now, but now when she was walking, she found that her pockets on both sides were slightly bulging.

Rum did intend to isolate them, but he was not so strict as to completely forbid them from meeting. At least during ordinary reports, the two of them still met. Therefore, Gu Qiao knew Curacao's habits. She usually put her mobile phone in her right pocket and rarely carried other small items.

Gu Qiao suspected that she had taken away Zhufu Jingguang's things, and immediately passed the news to Qingliu Bingguang.

When she sent the message, Aoyagi Akimitsu was backstage accompanying Kudo Shinichi who was in poor health. He saw the message and replied immediately: Leave it to me.

It is impossible for Gu Qiao and her human messengers to steal something from an organization cadre without being discovered. Only Qingliu Bingguang, who has received special training, can do it.

Here we have to mention the advance preparations made by Aoyagi Akimitsu.

Aoyagi Akimitsu seemed to have anticipated that he would have to split his forces into two again in the hotel, and it was impossible for him to move his clone from Karasuma Renya's residence, so when they first met this morning, he asked Gu Shao to use his ability as a human messenger to create a third "Aoyagi Akimitsu".

Aoyagi taught him some simple imitation techniques, then put him in a cupboard to be swallowed by the giant snake.

When an animal messenger is not summoned, time is frozen on him. In other words, he will be exactly the same when he leaves as he is when he is summoned next time. There is no need to worry about him being suffocated or digested.

——This is what Aoyagi Binguang told her. He had done an experiment. As for what experiment he had done, he didn't tell her, and she didn't ask in detail.

Aoyagi Akimichi left the room where Kudo Shinichi was, found an empty corner, and released the human messenger who was dressed the same as him.

He told the messenger the location of the camera, gave him a new phone connected to the device, and asked him to solve the case. Those police officers and employees were meeting for the first time, so there was no need to worry that they would find out that this was not the real person;
Qingliu Binguang quickly changed his face, put on the spare coat in the closet, quietly slipped out of the backstage, and went to wait for Curacao according to the position given by Gu Jiao.

He stole the things so smoothly that Curacao didn't notice until he left the banquet hall.

……

What happened next was much smoother.

The criminal who caused the rope to break was caught, and the congressman's death was judged to be an accident due to lack of evidence. The guests at the scene were allowed to leave.

Shirley was caught on camera - Gu Jiao was sure it wasn't Aoyagi Binguang who did it, and it was an [accident] - and she happened to be seen by people from the organization, which was similar to the original Pisco incident.

Taking advantage of the dining table as cover, Gu Jiao quickly created a human messenger who looked similar to Miyano Shiho, and asked her to move up and down the banquet hall several floors, and not to completely avoid the cameras during the operation, so as to divert the attention of the organization.

At the same time, Gu Jiao went to find the real Sulli, and saw that she was being targeted by other members. Gu Jiao killed the other person in the safe passage, then left the hotel and went to the beach, taking the giant octopus summoned by Qingliu Bingguang in advance, and came to the sea side of the hotel.

Curacao's phone had been infected with a virus by her. Hiroki Sawada was much more capable than the organization's programmers. She intercepted Mayu's screenshots and disguised herself as Rum to send an evacuation email.

After that, it was Aoyagi Akiko's job.

Aoyagi Akimichi took Morobushi Keimichi's phone and returned to the backstage, put the human messenger back, and then went to pick up Edogawa Conan.

The messenger of Gu Qiao deliberately made a mistake when entering the password to delay the taking away of Zhu Fu Jingguang. He also plotted loudly in the underground parking lot, which made Aoyagi Akimitsu and Edogawa Conan "accidentally" hear it, so they went to the 23rd floor to rescue him.

Aoyagi Binkou wiped his fingerprints clean, returned the phone, and also checked Zhufu Jingkou's body to make sure he was okay.

Their original plan was for Aoyagi Akimichi to send Morofushi Keimichi and Edogawa Conan away, and then go after Curacao himself and force her to jump - or grab her and throw her off that side.

But Aoyagi Bin came and changed the plan.

【Angry: I changed my mind. 】

[Raging: I'm so tired now, I don't want to chase anymore. I want Goldwasser's lackeys to come to support me. Anyway, he will send people to fight Rum. ]

[Greed: ...Actually, you're upset because Curacao didn't kill those police officers.]

The other party paused for several seconds before replying to her:

[Rage: 30% at most, not absolute.]

[Angry: I hate the police, but I'm not that impulsive.]

【greedy:…………】

【Greed: ...Just make sure there is no problem. 】

Gu Qiao would not be so idle as to force a dark criminal to recognize and respect official personnel. She does not have that much energy and time.

Originally, Aoyagi Binguang thought that Curacao would kill other police officers, so he would ask Zhufu Jingguang to conceal his existence and at most tell a word to the police superiors. In this way, the blame for Curacao's fall into the sea would naturally be put on the police.

Now that he has made such a fuss, the blame will be put on the public security, the US troops stationed in Japan, and the FBI that summoned the US troops.

The gunship's strafing made a loud noise, and Curacao really jumped down. Even though she adjusted her posture in time and tried her best to cushion the impact, she still received a lot of impact when she entered the water.

Gu Qiao went to rescue the person. She saw that Curacao's forehead was bleeding and he looked dazed. She knew that Rum's brainwashing might have been physically relieved, so she took the opportunity to modify his consciousness.

——The organization is dark, you hate it here, you hate Rum.

——You want to completely rebel against them one day for the sake of your own important existence.

During the modification of consciousness, Gu Qiao changed another person's face. After she finished the modification, she sent Curacao back to the shore, watched her stand up and walk away in a daze, and quickly left the scene.

……

On a remote street in Yokohama, Gu Jiao slowly recalled what happened tonight.

Outside the car window, the night sky was dark and the moon was bright.

On the way here, she noticed Aoyagi Akiko taking pictures of the departing Osaka and her companions, and now after reviewing the game, she finally had the energy to ask a question.

"Did you arrange for him to come to the hotel?"

The appearance of another Kudo Shinichi would have been troublesome, but it was nothing compared to the organization's problems. Besides, Aoyagi Akimitsu had already used snakes to prevent him from causing any trouble. "It wasn't me. Before I saw him, I didn't even know such a person existed."

Qing Liu Bingguang paused, his voice carrying a bit of helplessness: "Don't think too badly of me. I don't like to add too many people to the plan. The more people there are, the more variables there are. "

"..."

Even though there is a restriction that prohibits lying, Gu Jiao often finds it difficult to tell whether Qingliu Bingguang is telling the truth.

But this time...

She sighed softly and raised her eyes to meet his.

"I know."

Gu Jiao often feels powerless, but she is not stupid.

She had long noticed that Aoyagi Binguang did not like to be a brainiac. Even when he had to think about plans sometimes, he liked to put the problems that needed to be solved together and try to solve them all at once, and was unwilling to involve unnecessary people.

It has nothing to do with morality, it's just too much trouble.

Gu Qiao asked a different question: "Were you emailing with Belmode just now?"

"Yes." Aoyagi Binguang responded, "After all, she cares about those two children."

When he mentioned this, Gu Jiao's thoughts wandered for a moment.

A year ago, the famous actress Sharon Wynyard passed away.

Her only daughter, Chrissie Wynyard, who was touted as a second-generation star, did not attend her funeral.

There were many different opinions from the outside world. The media speculated that the relationship between mother and daughter was not good. Chris was attacked by some extreme fans for this and was said to have plans to retire from the film industry.

She didn't say "Secrets make a woman more feminine" at the funeral, so in the eyes of outsiders she was just an ordinary beautiful female star, and neither Judy nor the FBI paid attention to her.

——It was Aoyagi Binkou who reminded her to avoid it.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiao looked at Qingliu Binguang again.

She always felt that his tone was familiar when he mentioned Belmode, and he deliberately helped her avoid the FBI's pursuit...

...He doesn't want to kill all the members of the organization, at least those who have a good relationship with him?
His attitude towards the other...

Gu Qiao knew where Qing Liu Bingguang's minefield was, so she asked directly about this irrelevant question:

"What are you going to do with Gin?"

In addition to this, Gu Qiao actually has another question.

Aoyagi Akimitsu's skills have been cancelled.

He sent his clone to Karasuma Renya tonight. It couldn't be that he was doing this to help Goldwasser... so what on earth was he doing?
Aoyagi Binkou seemed to be thinking about something just now, and only came back to his senses when he heard this question.

He looked at her, and a smile from the heart slowly spread across his handsome face.

……

Aoyagi Akimitsu has always attached great importance to feelings.

He loves his mother and his brothers, makes many friends during school, and gets along well with his colleagues at work - as long as you put aside his dream of becoming an orphan and the crimes that would have earned him hundreds of electric chair sentences, he is just a popular ordinary person.

But gin is different.

He is simply an emotionless tool, the kind of employee that all bosses like most. He talks less, does more, and is extremely efficient at work. Not only does he like to work hard himself, he also likes to put pressure on others to work hard with him.

Aoyagi Binkou was a little troubled about how to bring such a model employee into the water. He knew that their friendship alone would not be enough to impress him.

Aoyagi Akiko even considered spreading the photos of Gin wearing women's clothing that were taken when he was unconscious to the organization...but out of respect for his friend, he ultimately did not do so.

He thought about it for a long time and finally decided to do it in a way that would make Gin happy.

……

organizational base.

In a dark room, after finishing the conversation with Goldwasser, Rum turned his head and looked at another person present.

"Gin."

Rum tried his best to control his tone, which made his expression look distorted. He stared at Gin's face, not missing any details on that cold face.

"——What did the boss say to you during the last phone call?"

The strong reluctance almost tore Rum's heart apart.

The boss is dead.

The death was quite sudden. Today, Vermouth went to Tottori Prefecture as a witness and conveyed his wish to the top leaders of the organization to let Goldwasser inherit the organization.

Rum, Goldwasser's mortal enemy and the second-in-command of the organization, could not accept this at all.

He admitted that he had coveted the position of leader and made certain efforts, but in the end he only bribed one or two members of the mansion and was able to occasionally pay attention to the daily interactions of the BOSS.

This behavior gave him the only hope now. After Goldwasser announced the news of his promotion, he immediately checked the communication records and found that the BOSS had contacted him tonight.

——The last call he received and the last call he made were both to Gin.

and……

Rum stared at him, like a beast trapped in despair, trying his best to grasp the last ray of hope.

"Why did you kill Pisco?"

He learned from an inside informant the time when the police found Pisco's body, which was very close to the time of the phone call.

Then the question arises: Did Pisco make the call before or after his death?

The execution of codenamed members requires the boss's order. If they were beaten before death, Gin followed the procedure and did it only after receiving the order. So did the boss say anything else on the phone at that time?
If the fight was done after Pisco's death, then it proves that Gin did not get the boss's permission at the moment he took action. On what basis did he directly kill a code member who was more senior than him?

Thinking of the email that Pisco had sent before his death, reminding him that there was a problem with the gin, Rum's eyes became even gloomier.

Perhaps, there is another possibility.

——The call came when Gin and Pisco were communicating. Pisco accidentally heard something and Gin silenced him.

On the surface, Gin doesn't like internal fighting in the organization and has always been disdainful of the fight between himself and Goldwasser, but many people know that he has a close relationship with Goldwasser's child... It is said that the child is a rare beauty, so there is no guarantee that he will really be involved and help cover up something.

Rum, unwilling to accept the current situation, felt that the last possibility was extremely high. He seized this breakthrough and stared at Gin, hoping that he would give an explanation.

Faced with such an almost crazy look, Gin fell silent.

He realized that he was in big trouble.

The change of leadership is always the most unstable time for an organization. If you want to do something - for example, you are dissatisfied with the new leader and want to replace him, this is the most convenient time.

Rum will not be the first one. Other senior leaders of the organization who were previously below them will also continue to cause trouble for him in various ways, openly or secretly.

Gin has always been impatient with this kind of temptation. If he endures it, the harassment will continue, but if he can't endure it and takes action against those tempters, the harassment will not disappear, and it will even make others more crazy - they will think that he must be guilty and hiding something.

No one would believe that nothing was said on that phone call, and perhaps even Goldwasser would not let him go easily.

Thinking of this, the friendly reminder in the email suddenly flashed through Gin's mind.

[PS: Telephone fraud is rampant recently, so it is best not to make or receive random calls.] (End of this chapter)
