Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 246 Chapter 245

A group of people got out of the car quickly, followed by Heiji Hattori and Conan who looked up and found someone on the roof, and ran up quickly, while Sano and the others stayed below.

A few minutes later, Conan and the two went downstairs with a man in his 30s.

...Of course this person is not the murderer who pushed people down the stairs and then stayed there foolishly. He is just the owner of the cafe on the second floor. The reason why he appeared on the top of the building was because someone called him and said he saw There was a strange man on the roof, so he went up to check the situation.

"The corpse died about a day ago. This is probably the way the murderer punished him."

Hearing Hattori Heiji's murmur, Conan immediately asked, "Punish what?"

"That's right, piercing the wallet in the chest with a knife and then stabbing the heart is exactly the same as the previous two cases."

Hattori Heiji didn't know if he answered Conan and muttered to himself.

Before Conan could ask again, a passer-by aunt who was watching suddenly became pale after hearing Hattori Heiji's words, turned around and ran away in a panic, and finally got into a car and drove away quickly.

"Damn it, let her run away!"

Hattori Heiji, who failed to stop the aunt, had an ugly expression on his face, while Conan on the side was calm and composed: "Don't worry, I have written down her license plate number, but... you should give me an explanation first, Hattori? "

In the back, Hui Yuanai stared at the high school detective duo for a while, then turned to Sano, who had not moved much, and asked, "Why do you seem to be different from these two high school detectives? Not interested in filing a case?"

"Because I work part-time."

Sano glanced at the time, and then at the map, where Kiichiro Numabuchi, who was not in downtown Osaka, was located.

If this progress continues, I'm afraid it will get stuck again.

troublesome.

"Let's go, let's go to the police station together, and I'll explain the situation to you."

Hattori Heiji originally planned to take Sano and others to the police station for a small meeting... In fact, he mainly wanted to communicate with Sano and Conan, and the others were just incidental.

However, Sano rejected his proposal.

"You have to explain the situation first, so I can know whether I want to go or not."

"This……"

Hattori Heiji hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to explain the situation directly.

It turned out that in the past few days, two homicide cases had occurred in two different places in Osaka. The death of the deceased was very similar to today's one. They were both pierced with a knife in the chest wallet and then in the heart.

Because the two cases have been suppressed and have not been reported yet, the possibility of imitation murder is almost zero.

...and that's all.

To put it bluntly, this incident is likely to be a serial murder case, and the current clues are also almost zero.

Knew it.

Sano already had an idea in his mind, and said to Hattori Heiji: "You guys go, I won't go."

"what?"

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at Sano in a daze: "If you don't come with us, where do you want to go, or do you already have a clue?"

"No, I just have something to do."

Sano's denial made the... well, high school student detective duo a little relieved.

The two thought that the monster Sano had discovered the key at a speed beyond common sense, but it turned out it wasn't, so that's fine...it doesn't seem right either.

It should be a good thing that the case can be solved. As a famous high school detective, how can I not want the case to be solved because I am not as fast as others in solving the case.

guilt guilt...

"All in all, that's it, see you later."

Sano waved his hand and was about to leave, but after walking more than ten meters, he stopped again, turned his head expressionlessly, and asked Huihara Ai who was also expressionless.

"Why are you following me?"

"Can't I follow you?"

"... Yes, the premise is that you can keep up."

Sano suddenly speeded up, Haibara Ai wanted to continue to keep up, but unexpectedly, after bypassing a passerby, the other person was no longer in sight.

...how did this guy disappear so quickly?
Looking around but unable to find Sano's figure, Haibara Ai took a deep breath, turned around and followed Hattori Heiji's police car, and headed to the police station.

And in a shadow on the side of the street, Sano, who had already switched his vest and changed his clothes, watched the police car leave, then turned around and took a car, heading to the place where Kiichiro Numabuchi was.

In fact, the reason why Sano would agree to come to Osaka with Conan and these troublesome guys is very simple.

That is, the situation is already troublesome enough.

In the mission description of Kiichiro Numabuchi, it is similar to Sano's previous mission of catching criminals.

They are all to be caught and sent to the police station, that is to say, they must have a name.

But in fact, Numabuchi Kiichiro is the target of the organization.

Sano caught this guy, even if he didn't report it, he should silence him and send him to the police station, which is too reliable.

Even if it is sent in the name of vest, there will still be some troubles.

Some time ago, Sano was doing quests every day, but suddenly there was no news. The next second, Black Death or Black Mask caught Kiichiro Numabuchi in Osaka.

…Generally uninformed people would certainly not feel that there was anything wrong, but for Gin Jiu, a paranoid patient who already had doubts about Sano.

The problem is bigger.

It's not enough to use the identity of the body, and the identity of the vest is not enough, so what else can I do?
Sano had thought about creating a new one...an imaginary vest or even a real vest, and sent it in his name, but he didn't know if such a method would work.

If it works, forget it, if it doesn't work, it will be Sano himself who will lose.

After thinking about it, Sano still felt that it would be better to send Kiichiro Numabuchi in as the main body.

As for whether there will be accountability after the gin.

It's none of your business, I don't know anything.

Who is Kiichiro Numabuchi?
Sorry, I had never heard of or seen it before I came to Osaka.

Where can Sano remember the name and photo of a little boy?
Anyway, everyone has already been arrested. If Qin Jiu has any dissatisfaction, he will send another task of silence, and Sano will be responsible for going in to solve it.

What a big deal.

Although Sano knew that such a reason was a bit nonsense, it was already the best development.

... Well, it's mainly because Sano is too lazy to bother with headaches.

This was already the best idea that Sano had come up with before he completely screwed up.

If this doesn't work, then Sano won't bother to care about it, what's wrong with him.

Although using a vest to deal with it sounds like it would be suspicious at best, but in fact it is only a little short of tearing the skin apart.

The problem, just like the core of most cases, is that the suspect cannot be identified.

Once you have a goal, it will be two completely different situations from looking for a needle in a haystack aimlessly.

The most important thing about many things is that one does mental arithmetic without thinking.

At least if someone else is in Sano's position, and then Sano is responsible for finding out the "evidence" that he is a black mask or a black death, he can find it out.

After all, no matter how different two people are, they are still just one person after all.

No matter how perfect the disguise technique is, it is not a clone technique.

As long as you keep an eye on it, the tell's feet will always show up.

Perhaps relying on Sano's cheating, this kind of cheating would not have any legal effect in court, but it was enough for criminals like Qin Jiu.

As for how to deal with this difficult problem, Sano has no idea yet, the only countermeasure is.

Drag word tactics.

After all, Sano didn't intend to sell himself to the organization, one day he would get tired of playing this game, and it didn't matter if he was suspected or even proven wrong by then.

It's like cheating during the high school entrance exam in January, and it was only found out after the high school entrance examination was over, so that's useless.

…… Even to exaggerate it, whether Sano will still be alive by then, or whether he wants to continue to live, is another matter.

No one can say for sure about the future development. It is not Sano's style to worry about the future now. If you can guarantee that there will be no problems in the present, then everything will be fine.

With this in mind, Sano soon came to a mountain, and after groping, he came to a wooden house in the mountain.

According to the map, Kiichiro Numabuchi should be on the second floor, but Sano was not in the wooden house and found a staircase leading to the second floor.

Sano looked around for a while, and finally fixed his eyes on a corner of the ceiling. If he looked carefully, he could faintly see four gaps connected to form a square.

Is it a secret passage in the secret pavilion?

Sano stepped on the edge of the window next to him, jumped up into the air and flipped over the beam, pushed the ceiling up, and then turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, illuminating the dim second floor.

Kiichiro Numabuchi, who was handcuffed by a handcuff in the corner, instinctively blocked the glare of the white light with his hands, and his timid appearance revealed the fear in his heart.

found it.

Sano turned over and walked towards Numabuchi Kiichiro.

And the pure black coat on Sano's body also made Kiichiro Numabuchi's body start to tremble crazily... as if a certain sieve mourned.

"You, don't come here!!"

Looking at Kiichiro Numabuchi who was full of fear, Sano grinned: "Scream, even if you yell and break your throat, no one will come to rescue you."

……Um?

Something doesn't seem right.

Are the roles reversed?

Forget it, it's all trivial things.

However, what surprised Sano next was that Koichiro Numabuchi, who looked extremely thin and seemed to break his bones when he touched him, actually exploded with explosive power beyond ordinary people when he came to him.

With a whip kick, Sano was almost kicked over directly.

Are the semi-finished medicines organized by the organization so powerful?

Sano grabbed Numabuchi Kiichiro's calf with his backhand, and threw out the Hammer of Justice with the other hand.

If that's the case, then you can't blame yourself.

"what!!!"

In the mountain hut, there were creepy screams.

……

On the other side, after Conan, Haibara Ai, Hattori Heiji, and the policeman named Sakata found the runaway aunt based on the license plate number provided by Conan, they found that the other party had been killed, and then accidentally discovered that "was The wallet on the chest that was pierced by a knife" is likely to represent the driver's license.

So after some investigation, they finally found the common ground of the four deceased.

That is, they have all studied in the same class in the same period of the same driving school.
