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

Chapter 72 Passers-by and Black and Red

The kidnapping case in Cupido Town has been a hot topic these two days.

The victim was the son of a bribed congressman, and his family was asked for a ransom of up to 10 billion yen. The stepmother deliberately delayed calling the police, and the hostage died during the rescue process...

The combination of various factors has attracted major media reports.

At the Metropolitan Police Department's external press conference, the police officer responsible for the case bowed deeply in front of many cameras, with his forehead almost touching the table.

"I am so sorry!"

"Due to poor police command, the hostages were not successfully rescued..."

The TV camera switched, and in the new picture that appeared, a reporter raised the microphone and was interviewing a young man and woman who may be boyfriend and girlfriend.

"What do you two think about the kidnapping case in Cupido Town?"

One of the boys touched his cheek: "I think it was a mistake by the police. They had clearly identified the place where the money was to be paid, but they did not catch the culprit and all the money was taken away."

The girl next to him was dissatisfied: "No, the police didn't make any big mistakes this time? It was obviously the family members who delayed for a whole day before calling the police, which prevented them from being fully prepared..."

"--boom!!"

On the second floor of Hojo's house, Toyoka Hojo heard the noisy sound of the TV coming from downstairs and closed the door heavily.

The father in her game not only suffered a severe jaw injury, but also lost his hearing. He had to turn the TV volume to very high to hear clearly.

Now there are only two of them at home. Shinji Hojo went out to play. Mrs. Hojo dressed up early in the morning and said she was going shopping with her friends.

Toyoka Hojo closed the door, sat down at the table again, and saw a chat room interface on the computer screen, her expression softened slightly.

At this time, she was chatting with a fan named "Artemis" who had just joined the group a few days ago.

……

Because those modus operandi can be realized in this world, Toyoka Hojo cannot continue to write about the daily life of solving crimes.

But she doesn't want to stop updating now. She has so many fans who support her.

So after thinking about it and asking fans for their opinions, she decided to move forward with the main plot.

This is a troublesome project. The main plot written by the original author Qingshan is intermittently and unfinished, and cannot be copied like those complete cases.

At the same time, Toyoka Hojo had to consider another factor: the conflict of the story.

In the original novel, the strength gap between the red and black sides became increasingly outrageous. As a die-hard fan of the red side, she loved to see it, but now it was her own novel. In order to make the plot more exciting, it was best for both sides to be evenly matched.

It was this decision that gave Toyoka Hojo, who had dug through the entire brewery in the original book and failed to find a few reliable colleagues for Gin, even more troublesome.

What if the writers can’t think of better new characters?
Then collect among fans!

So in the past few days, she has been staying in the chat room, watching their discussions, or chatting privately with a few of her close friends.

——Artemis is one of them. Although he joined late, his enthusiasm is no less than that of those old fans.

[Artemis: You also need to think of a code name, okay? 】

In the private chat box, this new fan received the setting form and asked her curiously.

[Basi passerby: Yes! 】

[Basi Passenger: Just choose among the tea leaves. The members of the tea factory of the villain organization in today's child are all codenamed after the tea names of various kinds of scented tea. 】

There was a winery in Conan, so today there is a tea factory!
She was quite cautious and could not copy the names of foreign wines to attract the attention of the organization, so she used another drink - tea as a substitute.

It just so happens that foreign wines are divided into six major base wines, and flower teas also have six major tea categories!
[Artemis: What is the code name of the member who hurt Kyoko and caused her amnesia?I don’t know much about growing flower tea, so I’m worried that I’ll duplicate what you prepared, teacher. 】

[Basi passerby: It’s okay. If I repeat it, I will contact you and let one of you revise it. 】

As for the tea factory gin... no, it's the code name of the signature member, the first model worker, and the first mini-boss in the early stage. Toby Hojo has already thought of it.

【Basi passerby: His code name is 'White Hair Silver Needle'! 】

Silver Needle Baihao, one of the white teas, has a shape like a needle and a color as white as silver, which matches Gin’s silver-white hair!And it is one of the top ten famous teas, which is in line with the top ten rankings of the gin organization!

The more Tojo Hojo thought about it, the more he felt that this code name was very suitable.

[Artemis: As expected of a teacher, it is indeed a very good title. 】

Tojo Hojo smiled proudly, and suddenly her stomach rumbled. She looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen and saw that it was lunch time.

[Basi passerby: I'm going to have dinner now. If you have written the character list, you can send it directly to me. I will accept it for review later. 】

[Basi Passer: By the way, I also want to write some police characters. Do you have any opinions? 】

After typing these two sentences, Tojo Hojo took his mobile phone and left the room to go to the first floor.

Her father had gone out, and she was so immersed in chatting that she didn't even notice when the sound from the TV downstairs went off.

Toyoka Hojo didn't know how to cook, so she sat on the sofa and opened the takeout app, and randomly ordered a curry rice from a nearby restaurant.

It was always a long time waiting for the takeaway to be delivered. She was bored and browsed news related to her favorite celebrities.After confirming that there were no recent activities that required attention, she closed all unnecessary software and clicked on the system.

[Group Chat] records cannot be deleted. All previous chats between her and her two teammates are all on it.

Toyoka Hojo dragged it upwards and looked at the past records. Her good mood disappeared completely again.

...Teammates are very special beings.

For players who first enter a different world, teammates are the first people of the same kind they come into contact with. No matter whether the other party is unreliable, they are the only ones they communicate with first.

In order to save those who were upset, Tojo Hojo tried to persuade his teammates to help more than once.

To this end, she wrote many long articles that were so emotional that she was moved to tears after writing them. In them, she repeatedly described the advantages and difficulties of those people, and sent them to them over and over again.

Because the skills couldn't work, she could only use this method to try to impress them.

——But they didn't appreciate it at all.

[Gluttony: Where on earth do you have so much energy to post this every day?Wouldn’t it be nice to play games and watch TV shows if you have the time? 】

He has only watched the classic episodes played repeatedly on TV, but has never seen the theatrical version. He doesn't even recognize Gin, let alone the various red team members who came out later.

[Arrogance: Because you have never listened to me!You should read it carefully. Once you have read it, you will definitely like them too! 】

[Gluttony: I have only read the first article about Toru Amuro. I have a question for you. 】

[Arrogance: What? 】

[Gluttony: If Japan is his lover, then America is his father-in-law, right?His father-in-law has so many acquaintances in Japan. If he dares to target his people like this, isn't he afraid that his wife will be unlucky? 】

[Gluttony: Does he admire Uncle Hong next door more? 】

As for the other lazy one…

[Lazy: Why should you mind your own business? 】

[Arrogance: That’s not a trivial matter at all! 】

[Arrogance: Conan has so many troubles, and many police officers died young.Don't you think it's a pity that such an outstanding person died so early?We are not defenseless. Since we have the ability, why not save us?Is it possible to throw away all the original three views by traveling through time? 】

[Arrogance: Have you listened to the song I recommended to you?Listen carefully, what is really touching is the description of their path! 】

[Lazy: Since you care about the police so much, will you save the victims in the serial murder cases of female police officers in the later period? 】

[Laziness: This is the case of Chiba and Naozi. One of them was deceived and killed by the prisoner on the pretext that something happened to his child. 】

[Arrogance: Are you their fan? 】

[Arrogance: If you like it, I can also help you save it.But before that, you have to help me save Matsuda, Jingguang, and the squad leader, they are more important!There can be no oversight! 】

【Lazy:……】

[Lazy: I'm not interested. 】

[Lazy: Save yourself, don’t involve me. 】

[Arrogance: Why are you like this?If you are so selfish, your life must be very uncomfortable in reality, right? 】

[Lazy: I don’t owe you anything. You don’t need to be bad at me, and I don’t need to follow you.The people who will obey you in everything are either the parents who gave birth to you and raised you, or they have other plans for you. 】

After finishing the reminiscence, Tojo Hojo's unhappiness surged in her heart again.

A mean-spirited person with a persecutory delusion.

What evil had she committed to be on the same side as these people?

It would be great if she could switch to the Red side, she is a huge Red side fan!And in this way, she can change their selfish consciousness and let them know the importance of saving people.

Tojo Hojo put away her phone and waited on the sofa for about 5 minutes. The takeaway finally arrived.She went to the door to receive the food, picked up a bottle of frozen lemon tea, and returned to the second floor.

The computer screen was on. A minute ago, Artemis sent her a document.

Toyoka Hojo did not open the lunch box, but initially browsed the document. She first read the code name.

Bamboo leaf green.

Toyoka Hojo is thinking about codenames these days and has done a lot of homework on tea.

This is a kind of green tea, and she remembers a certain kind of beautiful venomous snake that seems to have this name too.

In addition, there is also a kind of wine, also called Zhuyeqing.

You know how to name it!Toyoka Hojo didn't think much and downloaded the document directly.

Another small window above her also flashed. She clicked on it and quickly accepted the document from another fan, Casbal.

Not only Artemis, but Casbal, the new member who joined that day, is also a very passionate fan. He also clearly remembers the details of her articles.

——Compared to her teammates, her fans are much cuter.

At this moment, Tojo Hojo noticed that Artemis's window started to flash. Perhaps the other party noticed that the file was accepted and knew that she was back in front of the computer, so he sent her something else.

[Artemis: The villain can be portrayed as ugly as he likes, but as a positive character, the police need to be more carefully portrayed in terms of relatives and friends, emotions, personality, experiences, and sufferings they have encountered. 】

[Artemis: I'm afraid I can't give you any more advice in this regard... Does the teacher know any police officers in real life? Maybe you can refer to them? 】

Casbar, Char's real name, is set as Akai's pseudonym (screen name) here.
