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

Even if the two players sitting in the black Toyota knew what was happening within the public security and the organization, they could not interfere for the time being.

While Gu Qiao was wondering, "Are you really friends with Gin?" and "Will he break into your house in the middle of the night and kill you?", her cell phone suddenly vibrated.

The noise was not loud, but the two people in the car fell silent at the same time.

The two met tonight just to check if there were any omissions in the operation. Now that the purpose has been achieved, Qing Liu Bingguang spoke first: "It seems that you are very busy at work, so I won't bother you any more. If you encounter any trouble, you can send me a message."

As he spoke, he took the snake off his neck, and the little green snake reluctantly returned from his hand to Gu Jiao's body.

Gu Qiao did not try to keep him.

She fastened her seat belt and thought of one last question before Aoyagi Binguang left:
"Have you seen the test report from Scotland at the hospital?"

The skill clone's mission in the Karasuma Mansion has been completed, and the [Dark Wind and Rain] that was transferred there at that time has long returned. Given Aoyagi Akimitsu's personality, he will definitely throw it away to continue monitoring important locations.

"All his physical indicators were normal, and he himself did not feel any discomfort. He thought it was just ordinary anesthesia."

Aoyagi stated his observations directly, without disguising his surveillance behavior. He sighed and said, "It seems that the memory drug developed by Generic is not very effective."

Gu Qiao's expression relaxed.

After Zhu Fu Jingguang was temporarily subdued, Curacao injected him with drugs. Of course, it was not ordinary anesthesia, but a new drug developed by another code-named scientist in the organization, Generick.

The organization originally hoped that he would create a drug that could erase memories voluntarily, and use it with hypnosis to brainwash all those who disobey the organization into loyal servants of the organization.

In the special episode, Junerick actually figured it out; but here, there was a slight deviation.

——After Gu Qiao stopped supervising Shirley, she took over Junerick. As an undercover agent, she managed to divert the research direction of this terrible drug.

Now that drug has been developed, it has become a "smart drug". It takes effect slowly, has no side effects, and can temporarily enhance a person's memory, occasionally flashing back some forgotten fragments of memory.

This kind of medicine is fine for students who are cramming for an exam, but it is obviously not very useful for a criminal organization.

It was originally going to be abandoned, but Rum, based on the principle of "don't waste something that cost so much money to develop", moved it to the interrogation room, on the grounds that it would allow the defendant to remember more things.

Gu Qiao had some on her, and Curacao must have some too. She probably knew that the drug took a long time to work, so she injected the person as soon as she got it. Now that the person was rescued in time, the injection was in vain.

Knowing that Zhu Fu Jingguang was temporarily safe, Gu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay as long as you are okay."

Qing Liu Bingguang didn't say much about her reaction, but just said: "Then I'll go first, good night."

He nodded slightly to her, and black mist silently emerged from the black clothes, enveloping him completely. In just a blink of an eye, he disappeared.

"..."

Gu Qiao looked at the empty passenger seat and leaned back in the chair. Her body, which had been quietly tense until then, finally relaxed temporarily.

In these few brief seconds of relaxation, she quickly planned her next itinerary in her mind.

She was apparently on a business trip.

In order to come to the hotel tonight, she actually made similar preparations as Aoyagi Akimitsu, and created a human messenger like Akamatsu Akatsuki to stay in the base in Nagano to fool those members who were not familiar with her.

After receiving the email from Rum, she immediately asked the messenger to leave the base and go to Tokyo. She had to find a convenient place to meet him, collect him, and then go find Rum herself.

The successful ascension of the new leader is only the first step. The real key to destroying the organization is how to make the unwilling senior leaders fight with the new leader to cause internal friction, and how to find out the supporters behind the organization and eliminate external threats.

Thinking of the huge workload ahead, Gu Jiao sighed softly.

But she did not allow herself to be sad for too long. She quickly cheered up and sat up straight again.

She was about to start the car and leave when she suddenly remembered that she had just received an email and took out her cell phone.

The email came from an unknown address.

[I have arrived home safely, no one followed me on the way, I will find an opportunity to resign in a few days. Thank you so much today, if it weren't for you, I would have no chance to see her again.

If possible, can you tell me how she is doing now? I saw the process with my own eyes, and the people from the organization seemed to have seen her on TV...

Sorry, I didn't mean to order you, I'm just really worried about her. If it causes you trouble...】

Seeing the content of the email, Gu Qiao frowned slightly again.

[She is fine now.]

I'll take care of it. Don't go around her lately. You may have caught her attention tonight. If she does something extreme to find you, she might be noticed.

Your separation is only temporary. Only by getting through it can you live well together in the future...】

After sending the email, she drove away without waiting for a reply.

The already remote road fell into silence again.

……

at the same time.

An apartment in Nerima, Tokyo. The lights in the living room were off, only the TV was on. It made no sound, someone had deliberately turned the volume down to the lowest setting.

Miwa Kazuya was slumped on the sofa, bored. The bag of wool balls was placed on the other side of the sofa, and a can of Coke was placed on the alloy coffee table.

He was playing the game console, choosing his responses based on the content on the screen; from time to time he would glance at the female host on the screen, who was reporting the news silently with her mouth opening and closing.

On TV, subtitles such as [Emergency incident at beauty pageant venue], [Another accident at Suzuki Group Hotel], [A councillor dies unexpectedly] flashed one after another.

As Miwa Kazuya watched, his eyes couldn't help but slide towards a closed door not far away.

……

In the bedroom, Aoyagi Binguang didn't hear the noise outside, but he knew that Sanwa Kazu was also watching TV.

After making the scam call to Gin, he came back here and returned the skill [Dark Storm] to his original body.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the bedding with a laptop on his legs, watching the video left by the original body.

Judging from the shooting angle, it should have been taken by a pinhole camera hidden in a concealed location.

The protagonist of the video is a teenager, who is sitting on a chair, his face pale and sweating. The sweat is a bit turbid, and he has a lot of makeup on his face.

The camera is aimed at him from the front.

After just a few seconds, his expression became extremely painful, and his whole body slid from the chair to the ground, with white steam coming out of his skin.

He bit his lips tightly to prevent himself from shouting, his body twitched and began to shrink. His hands, which had naturally stretched out from his sleeves, slowly shrank into his sleeves inch by inch.

——The whole picture is like the process of a child growing up played in reverse at ten thousand times the speed, appearing extremely distorted and weird.

Aoyagi Akimichi had no idea what the original body was doing in the hotel.

However, after watching the video, he immediately guessed that this was the process of Kudo Shinichi returning to his original appearance and then turning back into a child again.

The high-definition camera captured the entire process clearly. After the abnormality stopped, Edogawa Conan got up from the ground, panting and wiping off the sweat, he quickly changed into the children's clothes, and while changing, he frequently looked back at the door.

"Mr. Qingliu!"

When his real body appeared at the door, he immediately jumped off the chair and trotted towards there.

Even from this angle, Aoyagi Akimitsu could no longer see Edogawa Conan's expression, but from his rising tone, he could hear absolute trust and relaxation.

——He had no idea that the person in front of him whom he trusted so much had actually been pointing a camera at him, recording the entire process of his shrinking like a guinea pig in an experiment.

Aoyagi Binkou felt neither guilty nor happy, he just looked at the video thoughtfully.

The thoughts and memories of the original body and the clone will not be synchronized at all times, and will only be refreshed once when the skill is released and used again.

The last refresh was two weeks ago. In order to make sure Mark Spencer was dead, his original body stayed in Japan and his clone went to the United States.

Could it be the real body... Are they going to take action against [Silver Bullet] next?

Aoyagi Binguang took out his cell phone and wanted to send a message to ask the main body, but at this moment, he heard a noise coming from outside the door.

There was a sound of footsteps, at least two...three people, coming from the corridor of the apartment. His bedroom was closer to the door, so he heard it first.

Aoyagi Binguang thought of something, he put his notebook on the quilt and opened the bedroom door.

Miwa Kazuya, who was sitting on the sofa, was so frightened when he saw him suddenly pop up that he almost jumped up from the sofa and the remote control fell to the ground.

He picked it up in a hurry and was about to ask when he heard the noise outside.

Because the house was very quiet, not only the footsteps but also the voices of people could be heard through the poor quality door panel.

"Thank you, Yano-kun... Just send it here, I can clean up afterward."

Miwa Kazuya recognized that it was the voice of Mrs. Irino from next door.

This young lady took her children to a food tasting event two weeks ago and was caught in the explosion. She has not returned in the past few days.

In the past two weeks, he has encountered the courier several times when he went out. He saw him knocking on the door for a long time each time, but each time he returned empty-handed. The last time was three days ago. He even asked a question and learned that the international courier was going to be returned.

She's been discharged from the hospital now? And from the sound of it, she's fine, she can walk around on her own, and she'll be able to clean up her room and do housework later... She's worthy of being from the Conan world. If it were the old world, she'd be lucky not to turn into ashes when she encountered an explosion...

Miwa Kazuya complained silently in his heart, then turned to Aoyagi Binkou, wanting to ask him what he wanted to do and if he had disturbed him by making too much noise.

But when he saw the other person's expression, he was stunned.

I saw Qingliu Bingguang staring at the door.

Obviously that face was not ferocious at all, and at this moment there was even a hint of leisure in his expression, but when he met those eyes, Miwa Kazuya felt a chill in his heart.

——He seemed to see a poisonous snake, hissing at its prey on the edge of a trap. (End of this chapter)
