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

Chapter 42
Minato is not far from Miwa Town.Ten minutes later, the Mazda stopped at the door of Kudo's house.

"Thank you for taking me back."

Kudo Shinichi put the rabbit on the center console and unbuckled the seat belt.He did not get out of the car immediately, but turned to look at Aoyagi Binguang next to him.

"Teacher Qingliu..." He scratched his cheek and said a little embarrassedly: "Can I still come to you in the future?"

He and Qingliu Binguang talked all the way, but still didn't understand.

In all his life, except for his father Kudo Yusaku, this was the first time anyone had talked to him about detective novels like this.

Kudo Shinichi also wanted to recommend many interesting novels to Aoyagi Himitsu, but he was afraid that the other party would find him too annoying.When he usually chats with his childhood sweetheart Xiaolan, he often makes the other person angry for some reason.

"of course can."

Qingliu Binguang nodded under his expectant gaze: "Do you want my contact information? This way you can contact me immediately."

"want!"

Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up and he quickly took out his mobile phone. Aoyagi Binguang smiled and gave his email address and mobile phone number.

Kudo Shinichi, who wrote down his contact information, was filled with joy. He waved to Aoyagi Binguang and watched the black Mazda leave before pushing open the iron door.

He walked through the greenery on both sides, and when he was about to open the door, he made a move.

"Oh, I almost forgot. The nanny is not here, so I have to go and fix dinner by myself..."

Kudo Shinichi muttered and put down his hands. He sighed, locked the door again, and turned to leave the empty Kudo house.

He is not that particular about food. The nanny is not here these days, so he goes to the nearby convenience store to buy something.

I don’t know how the babysitter’s health is, but I hope she gets better soon...

……

Soon it was lunch break time the next day.

Minato Middle School has a one-and-a-half-hour lunch break, starting at 11:1 and ending at [-] p.m.During this period, students can go to the cafeteria or bring their own meals.

Because his parents went abroad and his nanny recently took leave, Kudo Shinichi could only go to the cafeteria for lunch.

With yesterday's lesson, he didn't let the food leave his sight the whole time today - after he bought the food yesterday, he temporarily put the food on the seat and went to the other side to buy coffee and left for about 5 minutes.

The cafeteria was very noisy, with most students sitting together with their friends. Kudo Shinichi sat alone at the dining table, eating while recalling what the teacher said when he asked him today.

[Kudo-kun, the school has checked the surveillance in the cafeteria dining area and found nothing abnormal. 】

No exception.

...If he didn't put it in while he was away, then when he got the meal, something had already been added to it?

Kudo Shinichi finished his lunch with suspicion and walked out of the cafeteria. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone to send a message to Aoyagi Binmitsu.

[I asked the teacher, and they said that the person who put glass shards in my rice was not found in the surveillance...]

【...Can I come to you now? ——Kudo Shinichi]

A minute later, Aoyagi Binguang replied.

[I am not in the office at the moment. Yesterday, a piano sheet was lost in the music classroom. I was in the monitoring room checking it.Let's meet in the library after school. ——Aoyagi Binguang]

Lost something in the music classroom?

Kudo Shinichi noticed this information and was about to ask if he could help, when he suddenly saw a few sneaky figures walking toward the back door of the cafeteria out of the corner of his eye.

It was Hojo and his friends.

They were holding something in their hands. Kudo Shinichi was startled and felt that the object looked very familiar.Without thinking much, he put away his phone and followed directly.

----

In front of the cold storage in the cafeteria on the basement floor, several middle school students opened the cold storage door with ill intentions.

There is no one in the kitchen area outside the cold storage, and there are two monitors aimed at the processing table.Several rooms in the school cafeteria are equipped with surveillance cameras to monitor food safety in the school, but as long as you pay attention to avoid them, there will be no problem.

Hojo Shinji unzipped each zipper of the schoolbag in his hand and pointed it hard at the cold storage.

There was a swishing sound, and all the books and stationery in the schoolbag were thrown in. Some of the books and stationery flew far away and even hit the wall.

"Shenji, you are so bad!" A friend next to him laughed and pushed his shoulder.

"It's really amazing! Even Kudo Shinichi dares to bully him!"

"It's time to teach him a lesson! Why should an outsider receive preferential treatment?!"

In this voice of support, Hojo Shinji's self-esteem was greatly satisfied.

He raised his chin proudly: "What Kudo Shinichi, it's just that my parents are a little famous! My sister said..."

"What are you doing?!"

A sudden roar scared Hojo Shinji's body to tremble.

He turned to look at the door and saw the person in question, Kudo Shinichi, appearing in front of them.

Kudo Shinichi was wearing a Teitan uniform that was completely different from Minato Middle School, and was glaring at them with anger on his face.

Hojo Shinji, who was looking at him, suddenly felt guilty.

Not counting verbal exclusion, this was actually the first time he actually bullied a classmate.During the summer vacation, he deliberately knocked down and injured his sister's friend, and was severely punished by his father. If his sister hadn't stopped him, his father might have made him kneel down and apologize.

Thinking of his father's words, he hesitated and struggled in his heart.

But under the gazes of the surrounding people, he quickly straightened his back again.

He didn't want to apologize and couldn't apologize.

——If he apologizes, his friends will definitely look down on him! !
Kudo Shinichi came over. He saw the schoolbags and books scattered in the open cold storage and became even more angry.

"Hojo, why on earth would you do such a thing? Isn't it fun to bully others?!"

Hojo Shinji curled his lips and raised his voice to increase his confidence. He said confidently: "Because my sister said you are very unlucky."

"What?" Kudo Shinichi was stunned.

"When I told her your name and said you would study in our class, she told me to stay away from you. Because you will always attract cases. If I get too close to you, you will be involved and encounter All kinds of dangers!" Hojo Shinji shouted these words, and before Kudo Shinichi could respond, he stepped forward and grabbed his collar.

Amid the exclamations and applause of his friends around him, he felt a sudden surge in his heart. He pushed Kudo Shinichi forcefully into the cold storage and slammed the door shut.

----

"boom--"

The sound of a heavy door closing made Rabbit, who was huddled at the door and saw the whole process, tremble.

After eating at noon today, he went to look for Kudo Shinichi alone. As soon as he arrived at class, he saw a few boys headed by Tojo Hojo's younger brother leaving with Kudo Shinichi's schoolbag, and he followed them all the way.

Unexpectedly, I witnessed the whole process of Kudo Shinichi being locked up in the cold storage.

The rabbit was so angry that he almost forgot that he was a weak rabbit now, and wanted to step forward to stop this violent behavior.

However, before he could step forward, Rabbit felt a sudden lightness in his body.

——A man dressed as a chef picked him up from the door.

"Why would a pet come here..."

No one in the room heard the low murmur, and there were no lights on in the corridor outside the kitchen. It took the rabbit a while to see clearly the appearance of the chef standing in the darkness.

Male, probably in his 20s, with short hair, wearing a complete white chef's uniform with some stains on the cuffs.

Rabbit recognized him.A few times during music class, Aoyagi Binguang left the door open. He saw him standing at the door, listening to Aoyagi Binguang playing the piano, and would not leave until he finished playing.

Seeing that he was an adult, Rabbit quickly raised his short hand and reached towards the kitchen, signaling him to hurry in - although he was only a chef, he was an adult after all and had a certain deterrent effect on students.

But Rabbit was disappointed. The chef seemed completely unaware that anyone was in the kitchen, and carried him towards the stairs.

Returning to the surface from the dark underground, the sunlight made the rabbit close his eyes.When he opened his eyes again, the chef had put him back on the ground and turned away.

"..."

Rabbit looked at his back and quickly came to his senses.He opened the system group chat and went to notify Aoyagi Binguang.

[Lust: Please go to the basement of the kitchen quickly. Hojo lost Shinichi’s things and pushed him into the cold storage! ! 】

He typed this message quickly while thinking of their conversation yesterday afternoon...

……

Back to yesterday afternoon.

Kudo Shinichi waved goodbye to them, with a bright smile on his face without any gloom.

Watching his figure go away, Rabbit sat back in the passenger seat alone. Aoyagi Binguang buckled his seat belt and turned on the system again.

[I didn’t expect that the protagonist would also be bullied...]

Along the way, Kudo Shinichi was communicating with Aoyagi Himitsu. He not only recommended several novels, but also talked about his situation in school.

Rabbit found it unbelievable. Kudo Shinichi was the protagonist of this world. Even if he put aside this identity, with his excellent background and mind, he was the chosen one. As a result, such a person would encounter campus bullying.

"It's not surprising. Japan's royal princess was also bullied by her classmates when she was studying. At one point, she didn't even dare to go to school and had to hire a psychologist for home counseling."

Aoyagi Binguang was not surprised at all.

Rabbit's mood was quite complicated, especially when he knew that the leader of the cold violence was the younger brother of a player.

When he first learned that [Arrogant]'s younger brother was also in Minato Middle School, he was very scared that one day she would come to school and notice them, but Aoyagi Binguang reassured him not to worry.

Rabbit couldn't help but speculate: [Do you think it was Hojo Tooka who said something to her brother? 】

His guess was not without reason. The endings of many cases in "Detective Kyoko" were changed. At that time, they suspected that Tojo Hojo did not recognize the concepts expressed in the original work, and she might not like Kudo Shinichi.

"We can't be sure about this yet."

Qingliu Binguang lowered his head and looked at Rabbit: "If you are really worried, you can visit him in the next few days and stay with him. Anyway, he knows you."

Rabbit nodded without hesitation.

He thought for a moment and then asked: [As a teacher, can you help him solve his current dilemma? 】

"It's difficult." Qingliu Binguang said calmly, "If it was physical violence, I saw that it could be stopped, and the trauma would be convenient for evidence collection. But what he encountered was cold violence. It would be useless for any teacher to intervene, and it would even be counterproductive."

[Now that he has eaten glass shards in his food, is this already physical violence? 】

Qingliu Binguang adjusted the rearview mirror in the car and stared at it for a few seconds.Rabbit noticed that his expression had become a little serious.

"It's not necessarily the students who did it."

Hearing these words, Rabbit was stunned, and his hands holding the seat belt subconsciously tightened.

"——There may be other people in this school who have ill intentions towards Kudo Shinichi."

……

Rabbit sighed after finishing his memories. Unexpectedly, his teammates made a mistake in judgment.

He finished typing the distress message to his teammates and was about to send it when suddenly his body was picked up again.

"?!"

Rabbit was once again hugged by someone and was stunned. His hand accidentally touched the pop-up window. Before he could say that sentence, the entire group chat was closed and the character interface opened automatically.

The hand holding him was broad and thick, with a slightly darker complexion than ordinary people.

Rabbit looked at his character interface. The content on it had changed at some point.The passive skills column is no longer blank.

Three weeks into the game, the passive skill of [Lust] was finally generated.

[Passive Skill - Impermanence of All Things: Obtain the protagonist's physique, and the probability of encountering special events and special characters will be greatly increased. 】

The rabbit raised his head. The person holding him this time had blond hair, which shone in the sun and was particularly eye-catching.

——It’s Toru Amuro.
