Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 284 Chapter 283, I asked you to save the dog, not to kill the dog!
Meguro police officer replied.

"Then are you sure that all the current conditions are consistent with the conditions at that time?"

Sano asked again.

Police officer Mu Mu still nodded: "Well, it's not wrong. In fact, we all thought that the signal might be Mr. Bankou's greeting, but in fact, when he came back and we exchanged the situation, he had already said it." That sentence, but John, who was on the side at the time, didn’t respond at all, and it was because Brother Maori raised the issue of the bell, so we tried to record the bell again... But it still seems useless now.”

"...Let me ask again, are you sure all the conditions are in line with last night?"

Hearing Sano repeating the question again, Police Officer Megure couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he nodded hesitantly and solemnly.

"I am sure."

Just now when Sano asked "Are you sure" for the second time, Police Officer Megure recalled inexplicably how he felt when he was asked by the teacher when he was in school.

It's so stressful... I always feel terrified and uneasy.

After getting the confirmation from Officer Megure, Sano continued to ask indifferently: "Then Officer Megure, can you explain to me why Itakuchi communicated with John on the phone at that time, but now he greets him in person?"

"Hey?"

After Sano said this, not to mention the police officer Megure, many other people who were paying attention to the two were also stunned.

This is so... makes sense!
Police officer Mu Mu didn't care about the embarrassment, and quickly turned his head to look at the board mouth, about to conduct another experiment.

...If there is nothing wrong with Sano's eyes, since he mentioned the word "telephone", Itakuchi's facial muscles have obviously tensed up.

It seems to be correct.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Sano stopped Officer Megure who was about to speak, causing the other party to look puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Sano didn't answer immediately, but just walked towards the board mouth and raised his hand.

This is……

Sano's Hand of Judgment! ?

Officer Megure's eyes widened, as if he hadn't seen Sano do this for a long time.

Although in the period since the last time I saw Sano "patting the shoulder", Sano participated in many cases back and forth.

But in these cases, Sano has never "patted the shoulders", at least Police Officer Megure has never seen it.

Seeing it now, I always feel...inexplicably excited!
So nostalgic.

Then, under the dignified, expectant or excited eyes of most people present, Sano's palm fell on Itakuu's shoulder, and the other party immediately let out a low cry, and instinctively took a step back.

"It works..."

Police officer Mu Mu's stomach trembled, and he immediately straightened his back. He was looking suspiciously at Bankou, but now it was almost equivalent to looking at the criminal.

Even Conan, a guy who thinks he is very materialistic, has sharpened his eyes.

Only Nakajima Sukezo, who was completely ignorant of the inside story, Banguchi, the target person, and Haibara Ai and a few other children, still looked completely confused.

...What the hell is going on?
Why did everyone become so... excited?

"...Excuse me, this is it?"

Although Bankou was confused, he still felt that something was wrong, and hesitantly and uneasily asked about the situation in a low voice.

"Since we want to reproduce the situation of last night, it must be 100% perfect."

Sano, who confirmed that the board mouth was wrong, glanced at the other party.

"After all, I think Mr. Bankou doesn't want to be questioned again and again and make useless attempts, right?"

Bankou nodded with a strong smile.

"Let's go then."

With Sano's signal, the group entered the house again.

"John was at the stairs on the second floor yesterday, right? Take it up."

"Draw the curtains so that no light can come in, and turn on the lights."

"Adjust the time of that clock, and the recorded bell will no longer be used."

"Bring another stereo and play some music."

"..."

Under the command of Sano, a few policemen were busily busy, while Conan and others beside him had strange expressions.

It's not that there's anything wrong with Sano's pursuit of details, but it just feels...

So picky.

This description may not be correct, but the current mood of Conan and the others is indeed like seeing a person who claims to be "clean" but is actually a high-level cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, and does all kinds of outrageous things. The status of the operation.

Even more outrageous than that.

Because the few people didn't feel that Sano was handling the case at all, but it was a bit like preparing for the upcoming party and arranging the scene.

Under everyone's complicated eyes, Sano has already pulled the adjustments to the last step.

"And then there's the phone..."

However, when Sano turned his attention to the phone on the counter in the living room of the bungalow, something unexpected happened.

Because, there is a landline on it.

"If I remember correctly, the situation at the time seems to be that Maehara just took the mobile phone to the second floor."

... After all, Sano did not see the scene of the crime on the bright side, so he first confirmed with Police Officer Megure, and only looked at Bankou after getting a positive answer.

"Then can you please give me an explanation now, Mr. Bankou, why a good mobile phone suddenly becomes a landline."

"because……"

Bankou, who was covered in cold sweat, faltered and couldn't tell why.

After a while, he managed to come up with an excuse that he thought was good, but Sano ignored him before he could say it.

"Forget it, it's a trivial matter. Police officer Megure can find a mobile phone to replace it. Note that the ringtone of the incoming call must be the same."

Also before Officer Mugure agreed, Sano made the final touch for this "arrangement".

"Officer Takagi will pretend to be the dead and go upstairs with the phone. Just in case, please open the safety of the gun and aim at John. Once it really shows signs of wanting to jump, shoot and kill it. Just do it."

"……Why!??"

Let alone Mao Lilan, Conan and the team members who had invited Sano to save John, even Officer Megure and the other police officers were shocked by his words.

"Straight, shoot directly!?"

Takagi asked a question in disbelief, while Mao Lilan and the children next to him stared at each other, wondering if they should also question it.

Especially the three real children and Hui Yuanai, after all, are different from others, and in their eyes, Sano's coming here is completely entrusted by them.

To put it bluntly, they are here to rescue dogs.

But in the end, this girl actually backhandedly said that she wanted to kill the dog now? ?

Do you dare to be more outrageous?
"Wait, wait a minute!"

Before Sano opened his mouth, Bankou couldn't bear it, and finally fell to his knees with a "plop": "I, I admit it, I killed the person!!"

Then Itakuchi cried bitterly and began to state his guilt. Sano watched this scene without showing any surprises.

... After all, Sano is not a fool. From Bankou's performance, he still can't see that the key to this case lies in the phone.

I just said it doesn't matter, not really it doesn't matter, just because the facts cannot be changed, so there is no need to say anything, but its importance is not low.

But to be honest, the difficulty of this case was much lower than Sano imagined.
