Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 38, Sano: Weak, Helpless, and Poor

"Since there is a camera, why didn't you say it earlier, really."

Mori Kogoro muttered, feeling that he was wasting his energy earlier.

As for Sano, he was even more numb.

What the hell, is there a camera here?

I haven't noticed it yet. Could it be that the "whole process" was actually photographed?

In fact, Sano was not too flustered, after all, as far as the current situation is concerned, his black death vest should be regarded as "clean", even if it is torn, it is no big deal, the premise is...

The affairs of the winery must not be exposed, especially the previous Maple Leaf gold coin incident.

Even if it is "doing what is right".

Even if the dead person is "dead with more than guilt".

But murder is an unchangeable fact. If it is exposed, Sano will inevitably have a lot of trouble, especially after Sano murdered someone and swallowed the maple leaf gold coins all by himself.

Tsk, I'm so troublesome, I have to think of a way to completely solve the problem that the vest may expose...

"Yoxi, since there is a camera, let's go and see it!"

Under the leadership of Police Officer Megure, a group of people quickly went to the monitoring room of the art museum. It was only because Sano was surrounded by the crowd that he did not get lost again and arrived successfully.

"Al?"

But when Sano was yawning, Mao Lilan on the side suddenly grabbed his hand, frowning: "Senior, what is your hand?"

"Ok?"

Sano, with tears in his eyes, looked suspiciously at the grasped hand, and then realized that his hand was full of cuts, especially at the joints above the fingers. There were blood seeping from several cuts, which looked a little horrific.

when……

As soon as Sano thought about it, he realized that it was caused by his fist hitting the armor when he had a fight with Curator Ochiai before. Because the wound was too shallow, the slight pain was ignored.

Doesn't this mean that the armor now has his own blood on it?

Sano frowned, and immediately withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and put it in his pocket: "Ah, maybe I accidentally touched it somewhere."

Faced with Sano's apparently perfunctory explanation, Mo Lilan squinted his eyes, but did not continue to ask, but looked at Miwako Sato.

Miwako Sato also heard the conversation between the two just now, and she probably also guessed what Mao Lilan was thinking now. The injury on that hand was probably caused by someone on purpose.

"The injury is very new, probably just received, and the bleeding hasn't stopped."

Mao Lilan came to Sato Miwako's ear and reported the situation: "It seems that the person who hurt the senior is very likely to be stopped in the art gallery now."

"Ah."

Miwako Sato nodded grimly.

A murder case just happened in the art gallery, so it is impossible for the people inside to let go casually, so if you are lucky, it is really possible to find out the person who bullied Sano.

It's just that the case is still under investigation, of course, Miwako Sato can't just leave and go to find some bad boy, and Police Officer Megure won't allow it.

Looking up again, the staff of the art gallery had turned on the surveillance playback. In the picture, it was Boss Zhenzhong who had just walked into the hell, looking around as if he was looking for something.

Sano glanced at the surveillance screen, and his tense nerves relaxed a little. With this angle and range, it seemed that he couldn't capture his normal appearance at that time.

The only thing that will be exposed later is that the black god of death just appeared here, it doesn't make any difference, anyway, curator Ochiai is awake later, and he will say it when he is questioned.

However, the previous problem still exists, the relationship between the vest and the main body must be broken, but what can be done about it...

While Sano was thinking about the future, in the monitoring screen, Boss Manaka had been nailed to the wall by the medieval armor that suddenly moved behind him.

Everyone in the monitoring room, except Sano, held their breath and stared intently at the screen, and then saw a figure jumping out suddenly, fighting with the armor.

In the dim hell, only two figures were constantly intertwined, the cold sword was constantly being swung by the knight's armor, and the sound of piercing the air and the thumping of fists and feet continued to resound.

Looking at the wonderful and exciting fighting scene like a movie, exclamations came from the monitoring room from time to time, until the knight's armor was suddenly knocked down, and the figure who was already a "master" in the eyes of everyone grabbed the armor's head He slammed into the ground, and immediately made the monitoring room fall into silence again.

Well, what a childish way of attacking...

Everyone, including Mao Lilan, a karate master, was silent for a while.

In fact, generally speaking, this kind of attack method is of course not a problem, but with the preconceived impression of that "master", it doesn't matter how you look at it.
"Ah, pull out the helmet!"

At this moment, a policeman yelled, and everyone immediately focused their attention again, and then they saw the face of Curator Ochiai after the knight's armor was pulled off.

"It's really him..."

Mori Kogoro, Police Officer Megure, and others all looked shocked and eye-opening.

"I didn't expect it was really him..."

Conan couldn't help but glanced at Sano in the corner. Did this guy figure out everything just by looking at the scene of the crime, or did he guess right by mistake?
"That old man can actually kill people in that armor..."

Mao Lilan also felt a little emotional: "If he was younger, maybe I would not be his opponent..."

Is your focus a little off?

Conan Shiyuyan looked away from his childhood sweetheart, and then looked at the monitoring screen where the stop button was pressed, but his eyes were shining.

"This is!?"

Conan jumped on the monitor and lifted it up, stared at the screen for a few seconds and then looked at Mao Lilan: "Sister Xiaolan, this person seems to be the one who kicked you in the warehouse before!"

"Hey?"

Mao Lilan, who was suddenly caught by the cue, was stunned, and he could only step forward and take a closer look under Conan's eager eyes: "Well, indeed, although it is a bit blurry, this...special clothes and hairstyle should be his That's right."

Mori Kogoro rubbed the back of his head in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

"It's that delinquent boy in the special attack suit!"

Conan bit his thumb: "The first time I met him was the kidnapping incident, then the maple leaf gold coin incident, and now it's here again..."

"Wait, the maple leaf gold coin incident?"

Police officer Mu Mu also grabbed Conan with a serious face: "You mean the guy who suspected of killing the three Italian robbers and taking all the Maple Leaf gold coins in the Maple Leaf gold coin incident?"

Regarding the kidnapping incident and the Maple Leaf gold coin incident that Conan said, as the police officer of the Police Department's criminal department's first search section, the forcible criminal search of the third department of the police department, it is natural that they all know about it.

Especially in these two cases, Conan, the little devil, was involved. In the transcripts made later, the existence of the "special attack and service delinquent boy" was naturally mentioned. How could this make Officer Megure not care.

As a "famous detective", Mouri Kogoro, who also has deep contact with case intelligence, also has a serious face: "So it's this guy..."

As for Mao Lilan, she was stunned: "Kill, kill??"

Although Mao Lilan had contact with the existence of "bad special attack uniform" in the kidnapping incident, she didn't know anything about the maple leaf gold coins after that.

It's just that in Mao Lilan's opinion, the "bad special attack uniform" subdued the kidnapper and saved Conan and the little girl, so it should be a good person.

Of course, it's not just Mao Lilan who is stunned, but also Sano.

what's the situation?
How did Police Officer Mumu know that his... vest was involved in the Maple Leaf gold coin incident?
Did Conan actually see himself, or rather see his vest?
Good guy, it turns out that my vest is already dirty, and I didn't know until now?
Sano froze in place, countless thoughts flashed through his brain in an instant, analyzing the current surprising situation and what he should do next.

And Miwako Sato, who was frowning and thinking, suddenly looked at Sano, "Sano, the bad boy who has been bullying you, could it be this guy?"

"Hey?"

Mao Lilan turned her head abruptly, but she didn't expect Miwako Sato to tell the secret thing.

"Nani?"

Officer Megure also rushed to Sano at once: "Do you know who this special attack suit is!?"

Unknowingly, Conan came to Sano's side, raised his head, with a naive smile on his face: "Hey, brother Sano has been bullied by delinquent boys, no wonder he hid in such a place last night go."

"last night?"

Police officer Mumu clapped his hands: "By the way, I remembered, Conan said that you also appeared in the haunted house confinement case last night, which makes sense, is it because you were targeted by this person?" , so you dare not go home?"

"Nani!?"

Hearing this, Mao Lilan couldn't care less, and leaned in front of Sano: "Is this really the case, senior!?"

Miwako Sato grabbed Sano's shoulder with a righteous face: "Don't worry, we are the police, and we will definitely help you solve the problem!"

Kogoro Moori also explained with a displeased face: "Anyway, you will have to take notes later, so just say what you have to say."

Sano: "..."

Surrounded in the middle, Sano looked numb.

The development of things is always unexpected. The vest becomes unclean...or it is a bad thing for others to know that it is unclean, but fortunately, the surveillance camera did not capture the scene before Sano's transformation, so the vest has not been torn off for the time being. It is still safe, so even if it is not clean, it will not affect Sano himself.

It just seems that the matter has not been resolved because of this, but... more troublesome.

Why didn't Sano himself know about the bad boy who was bullying him so much that he couldn't even go home?

Is the brain circuit of this group of people really normal?
No, the situation is too chaotic, you have to take all your attention away before thinking of countermeasures.

And Sano's silence inexplicably carried a bit of bitterness in the eyes of Police Officer Megure and the others, as if acquiescing to what they just said.

For a while, the image of Sano in everyone's hearts can be said to have become weak, helpless, and pitiful.

"Everyone, have you forgotten what to do now?"

A few seconds later, under Sano's somewhat helpless reminder, the people in the hell realized that the murder in the art gallery hadn't been completely over yet.

Although he is very concerned about the affairs of Sano, the most important thing is the present moment.

"Ahem, that's true, but the situation is clear now. Under the armor of killing Boss Manaka, is Director Ochiai himself. As for the note, it is likely that Director Ochiai originally wanted to plant it on Keita. That's right, but he didn't expect that someone would hit him halfway through."

Police officer Mu Mu summed up the situation: "Now the surveillance video is all there, the evidence is conclusive, and the case can be closed."

"Alele, it's so strange... ah!"
Conan, who was on the monitoring platform and was about to continue the "ah Lele" tactic, was pulled down by Sano: "It's nothing strange, the matter is over, please shut up."
