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

Chapter 40 Hunter and Prey

The librarian was a young woman, and after Aoyagi Binguang came to the library for the first time and discussed it with her, she allowed him to bring the rabbit in.

She took the book, picked up the scanner and scanned the barcode on the back of the book: "Teacher Aoyagi, you read books so fast... Do you still want to borrow Sherlock Holmes next?"

Hearing her words, Qingliu Binguang smiled, and at the same time he felt a line of sight cast towards him from behind.

He nodded calmly.

"Yes."

……

Currently in Minato Middle School, Aoyagi Hikou has three targets that he needs to contact.

The first is Labruncheva, a second-year student in the International Department, the daughter of a member of the Russian civilian armed team who tracked Pramya.

Her father is an ordinary member, but her aunt is the leader of that team, Ireneka.

This is not a big problem. Aoyagi Binguang is her teacher and he has natural contact with her through music lessons.

The second one is Toru Amuro.

This undercover agent from the Japanese police is a difficult figure regardless of his identity or ability.

But it's not that big of a problem.

There is a saying that the most high-end hunters appear as prey, which actually makes sense.

For an undercover agent who is much more vigilant than ordinary people, if he takes the initiative to approach him, he will inevitably arouse the other party's vigilance;

But on the other hand, if there is something on the body that they are interested in and attracts them to take the initiative, their vigilance will be slightly reduced - because they feel that the initiative is in their own hands.

It just so happens that Toru Amuro has the task of investigating himself now, and it was given to him by his second-in-command Rum, so he will definitely be very concerned about it.

How should they get in touch with each other, how can they get familiar with each other, and how can they become so familiar with each other that he is not defensive in front of him? This is what Toru Amuro has to consider. Aoyagi Binguang just needs to wait for him to come over on his own initiative.

Gin sometimes dislikes Aoyagi Binguang because of his laziness and passivity - as long as others contribute, he will lie down and let go, not wanting to use his own brain.

At present, apart from meeting on the first day, they have not seen each other for more than ten days.During this period, Aoyagi Binguang did not find anyone following him, his home being broken into, or his office being secretly installed with bugs or cameras.

Toru Amuro was not in a hurry, and Aoyagi Toru was even less anxious. He only reminded Rabbit that "Bourbon is also investigating in this school."

He was not worried that Toru Amuro would reveal his FBI identity in front of Rabbit.

First, undercover agents will not mention the task at hand or the name of the target at all times. Even if they make a phone call, they will use code words and directly say that it is a common mistake for the contact person to make. Undercover agents who can infiltrate are not so brainless;
Second, Rabbit has the ability to track and eavesdrop easily, but it can only be used in human form. With his personality, he will not change back to human form to use it in a school with so many people.

third……

Aoyagi Binguang discovered that Rabbit was a little afraid of Amuro Toru and did not dare to appear near him at will.

As for the last target, it is Kudo Shinichi.

For this cartoonist's protagonist, Aoyagi Binguang did not act rashly, but he also decided to take the initiative to do something.

He considered having Tequila drive his second-grade music teacher into the hospital, giving him a chance to substitute.But Toru Amuro thought that he might have seen something from the organization's usual tactics like car accidents, so he had no choice but to give up.

So on the night of the first day of school, Aoyagi Binguang and Rabbit discussed the 14-year-old boy again at the dining table, trying to get more information.

Kudo Shinichi's father is the famous mystery novelist Yusaku Kudo, and his mother is the sensational actress Kudo Yukiko - the couple are world celebrities and have a lot of information on the Internet.

The girl he likes is his childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan. One of his prospective parents-in-law is a former policeman and now a detective, and the other is a barrister who has never lost a lawsuit.

Aoyagi Binguang himself studied law in college. He wrote down the lawyer's name and continued to ask: "How many friends does he have?"

We almost understand family ties and love, how about friendship?

[Suzuki Sonoko, she also has a good relationship with Xiaolan.She and Kudo Shinichi are a bit like bad friends. 】

[The boy detective team in elementary school, Hattori Heiji, who is also a high school student detective in Kansai, was the first to expose Conan’s identity on his own, and then in the Metropolitan Police Department...]

Seeing this, Aoyagi Binguang temporarily interrupted Rabbit: "What I want to ask is that he has not become younger yet. Does he have any close male friends around him?" For fear that Rabbit would not understand, he added: "At this age Boys will start talking about the pretty girls around them, but they usually play more with other boys."

Looking at the description of the rabbit, it seems that several elementary school students and Hattori Heiji all met Kudo Shinichi after he became young. Does he have similar friends around him now?

The rabbit, whose mouth was full of chocolate sauce from eating the crepe, thought for a moment and shook his head.

[I don't know. 】

[After he became young, his male friends were elementary school students Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima. They were often taken out to play by Dr. Agasa.Later, Hattori Heiji, who had a similar level of reasoning as him, came to challenge him. Conan became older for the first time and made friends with other high school detectives for the first time. 】

[After all, the protagonist of the original work is Edogawa Conan. Kudo Shinichi does not appear much. The few times he changes back to his original body are basically at Xiaolan's place. There is no mention of his male friends in junior high school and high school. 】

Rabbit typed quickly, and then he didn't know what he thought of, and sighed quietly.

[I was deeply impressed by an original animation episode. When he saw a child playing games alone, he immediately judged that the other child was an only child, because he himself was the same. When playing detective games, he was alone, with no friends or siblings, so he had to play at the same time. Play as detective and criminal. 】

Qingliu Binguang asked strangely: "The only son is like this?"

[Not entirely, I am an only child. I haven’t had it since I was a child... maybe I can’t remember. 】

Rabbit took out the wet tissue on the table and wiped his mouth. Because the tissue was too big, it turned into wiping his face.

After wiping, he put down the dirty tissue and continued to write: [And I remember that Xiaolan was not very interested in mystery novels. When they were dating, Xinyi tried to educate her about Sherlock Holmes, and she was a little impatient...]

He actually talked about this on a date, it's a damn thing if he's interested... Aoyagi Binguang silently noted in his mind that "Kudo Shinichi may not have a high emotional intelligence".

……

In the library, Aoyagi Binguang took the new volume of "Sherlock Holmes" from the administrator and took out the loan card with his name registered on the last page.

[There are so many people who like mystery novels, he may not come here... How about you, as a teacher, take the initiative to care about him and ask why he doesn't go home so late? 】

Rabbit gave advice over his shoulder.

Aoyagi Binguang picked up the pen next to him and did not reply to Rabbit for the time being.

He didn't take the initiative to approach Toru Amuro, and he didn't want to be too enthusiastic to arouse suspicion towards Kudo Shinichi, who would become a famous detective in the future. He still wanted the other party to take the initiative.

Based on the rabbit's description and the observation of Kudo Shinichi's current situation, Aoyagi Binguang judged that he has been relatively lonely recently.

His parents went to the United States, and he had no brothers or sisters; the girls and friends he liked were all at his original school. As an exchange student, he had not found any new friends in the environment where small teams had formed in the second grade.

——The class Kudo Shinichi is currently in happens to be the class of Hojo Toyoka's younger brother. Her younger brother is also a sophomore in middle school and is the leader in that class.

Aoyagi Binguang didn't know if it was Hojo Tooka who said something to her brother. One time when he deliberately passed by their class after class, Kudo Shinichi was not there. He only heard Hojo discussing Kudo Shinichi there, and everything he said was correct. His dislike.

The school ethos of Minato Middle School is strict, and there is not much direct violence, but there is a lot of cold violence when people gather together to exclude an outsider.

Considering that Kudo Shinichi is not an introvert, in this environment, he will not be autistic. Instead, he has two options: go back to Rice Flowers immediately after class and stay with familiar people to relieve his mood; or... …

In this new environment, try to make new friends outside of the class.

Qingliu Binguang lowered his head and wrote an A·A behind the names on the loan card.

...He thought about it that way.But in terms of grasping people's hearts, his level can only be said to be average, and he himself is not sure whether he can succeed.

"that……"

At this time, a young man's voice came from behind Qingliu Binguang.

One person and one rabbit turned around together, and saw Kudou Shinichi also holding a mystery novel, looking at them with shining eyes.

"Do you also like Sherlock Holmes?"

----

Now Shinichi: There are no bad people who like Sherlock Holmes!
Future Conan: ...The trust I have gained over the years has been wrongly paid after all! ! !
