Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 277 276, are you afraid, Gin

Are you worrying too much?

Gin finally retracted his gun.

...Actually speaking, it is not surprising that Gin would take seriously the fact that "Sano may be the black mask" because of the incident at the Kubado Hotel last time.

But Gin still explored the question of whether Sano was black dead, which seemed to make no sense.

The reason for this was that Qin Jiu did not allow Sano to hide anything from him, even if it was just a trivial matter.

Secondly, in this incident, there was a wonderful connection between the black death and the black mask.

These two guys are likely to know each other, and even in a big way, they are teammates and allies.

Whether it is the gin list from the newspaper or Amuro Toru's description, this information is revealed.

So if Sano is not a black mask but still a black death, then the problem will not change in any way.

"Find out the identity of Hei Si, and then start with him, and find me the black mask."

Although Sano is no longer a black death, but as a former black death, in Qin Jiu's view, no one can penetrate into the black death more easily than him.

No matter in terms of ability or identity, Sano is the best candidate to find out the true identity of the black mask.

"impossible."

However, as soon as Qin Jiu issued the order, Sano vetoed it.

"reason."

Gin didn't get angry immediately, but asked Sano to give a reason.

"Master Gin, do you think I'm a fool? After what happened last night, didn't I try to ask Hei Si about the black mask?"

Hearing Sano's words, Qin Jiu raised his brows, and there was a little thoughtfulness in his eyes.

Because according to Sano, he had already explored the relationship between Black Death and Black Mask before. To put it a little deeper, it can also mean that he is bound to be suspected when he comes back. It was expected.

Of course this is not surprising.

Not to mention the famous detective Sano, even if he puts an ordinary person in his position, he will definitely understand that such a situation will arouse suspicion for himself.

Because of this, if Sano was really a black mask or a black death, he shouldn't have done such troublesome things.

Although this may also be that Sano wants to take advantage of other people's mentality and deliberately guide... This kind of evil operation is close to predicting whether the fleeing enemy army will predict whether the opponent will take the left road or the right road.

Gin is naturally too lazy to waste brain cells.

The real question is, what did Sano do when he knew that he would be suspected.

Generally speaking, when an innocent person is suspected, he will try his best to clear his suspicion and prove his innocence.

But Sano is not ordinary, so it cannot be substituted from the perspective of ordinary people.

According to Gin Jiu's personal speculation, Sano would have two more likely reactions.

One, be dismissive and calm.

Doubt as much as you doubt, if I make a move, I will be considered the loser.

... This is also the most troublesome reaction for Qin Jiu. He doesn't admit it, doesn't refute it, and only gives a minimal explanation, which makes people irritated and helpless.

Two, get upset and then resolve those doubts in a unique way.

... This reaction is also very troublesome, because Gin is not sure what kind of "unique" method Sano will use to clear the suspicion.

The best situation is that Sano directly removes the black mask and solves the problem from the root.

Worst case scenario...also fix the problem at the root.

It's just that this root may be deeper than the former.

If you can't solve the problem, just solve the person who raised the problem... This sentence, Qin Jiu seems to have heard Sano mention it.

Gin didn't even forget that a long time ago, Sano almost rebelled on the spot because he was suspected by him according to the usual procedure and pointed a gun at him.

...In other words, looking at it this way, I have been doing too much. After all, Sano has a brain problem, and he is the type that is particularly easy to lose control.

Gin suddenly calmed down,
Maybe it would be better for me to stimulate this guy as little as possible?

...In fact, if he was in a calm state, Gin should have made such a conjecture long ago, instead of waiting for Sano to bring it up, he would think of it.

But the problem was that Gin couldn't calm down.

The moment he saw Sano and the black mask appearing on Suzuki's ship in the newspaper, Gin's state was as if a little girl saw her boyfriend and other women coming in and out of the hotel gate... Cough cough.

Although this metaphor is a bit exaggerated, it is the most vivid.

In such a state, how could Gin remain calm, of course he wanted to question Sano in a hurry.

"...Then what did you ask?"

Qin Jiu, who was silent for a while, asked.

"Nothing was asked, Hei Si is very wary, he doesn't want to trust anyone,"

Sano said so... more words, more mistakes, a lie often needs countless lies to cover, neither admitting nor denying this, but not just doing it from the perspective of the vest "person", even as an "outsider" body identity , as well.

That's right, this is to avoid risks and more troubles, it's definitely not that Sano is too lazy to make up stories.

As for Sano's answer, Gin made a row of points.

Although it was expected, isn't this just pure nonsense?
Qin Jiu lit a cigarette, and breathed out a white dragon: "To be honest, Rye, the reason why you resist doing this is actually because you are afraid of trouble and don't want to go."

Sano blinked innocently: "How could it be, my lord, you must be thinking too much."

... intelligence work is always the most troublesome job.

Because it is different from those combat missions of killing and fighting, information cannot be obtained in a short period of time by force. Maybe a small part can be obtained, but most of them are not, and it takes time-consuming water grinding.

Especially like now, it is necessary to start from the beginning to increase the distance between you and a highly vigilant stranger, until the relationship between the two parties becomes "good" before you can enter the next step.

As for Sano's character, after getting along for so long, Qin Jiu naturally has some grasp, that is... there is no way to grasp it at all.

...Maybe because of his mental illness, Gin felt that it was difficult for him to know what was going on in this guy's mind, but there was one thing he was sure of.

Sano is a person who is very pursuing "cost-effectiveness" and hates doing things with low "cost-effectiveness".

The evidence is that some time ago, Sano did not know why he was frantically brushing up his achievements, and even asked Qin Jiu for tasks. For some of the tasks he assigned, "the task duration may exceed three hours", they all asked to be replaced. into other short-term tasks.

It's not that Sano refuses to accept long-term tasks.

After all, it was not that Sano had not been asked to do longer tasks before.

It's just that in Qin Jiu's view, Sano is unwilling to waste too much time on these tasks, which are not high-performance tasks that are originally for peripheral members.

To put it more bluntly, in fact, Sano felt that it was too "losing" to waste time for such a performance and bonus task.

This kind of statement seems to only reveal the information that Sano is "smart", but in fact it reveals his inner thoughts.

...In addition to the fact that Sano has never "asked" for a mission since the last time he went to Osaka, Gin felt that he had every reason to doubt it.

This kid has become picky, and it can also be said to be lazy.

As for the task of "getting close to the black death first and then finding the black mask" mentioned by Qin Jiu just now, although he can raise this aspect to a higher level with his personal rights, compared to the cost time.

In terms of cost performance, it is not even as good as those "low-level" tasks that Sano used before.

...Although what Qin Jiu didn't know was that the reason why Sano asked him to change missions during that time was not in pursuit of "cost-effectiveness", but purely in pursuit of "speed", because he wanted to complete the tasks that met the mission requirements as soon as possible. Number of organizational tasks.

"What if I say this task is mandatory."

Gin's sudden problem made Sano raise his eyebrows in surprise, but only a few seconds later, he shrugged his shoulders kindly and said: "Then there is no other way, we can only do it."

Well, Sano just said that he would do it, but he didn't say that he would succeed.

The old way, dragging words.

If you feel that you can't do it after dragging it down, then let Qin Jiu do it with someone else, and it's also impossible to "success" anyway.

"Then, if there is nothing else, I will withdraw first."

After the exchange, Sano waved his hand and left.

But when he got behind Gin, Sano suddenly turned his head and said, "But having said that, it really surprises me that Mr. Gin would pay so much attention to a guy who only knows how to hide."

"what?"

Gin subconsciously turned his head to look at Sano.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little curious about Lord Gin's thoughts. Is it because the previous actions were messed up, so I feel angry, or... fearful?"

Sano tilted his neck and laughed: "Anyway, after seeing the adult's reaction, I became a little interested in that guy instead."

... This guy, is he mocking himself?
Qin Jiu frowned again. Sano's pronunciation of the word "dread" just now made him feel that the other party didn't intend to use this word. Judging from the other party's previous speaking style, there is a high probability that it will be...

Afraid, a word of this nature.

Although what Sano said was not completely unreasonable.

...Why do I care so much about a guy who doesn't even dare to show his face?
The last time this situation happened was when Shuichi Akai rebelled.

Is it really as Sano said?
