Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 613 Chapter 616, two victims, two murderers

Sano raised his finger and pointed outside the door: "I bet there will be a case outside. It is the novelist we met just now, which is related to his three editors. Leaving aside the murderer, who do you think the victim will be?"

"...will happen, case?"

Conan suddenly became nervous: "And it's the four people we met just now. What's going on? Did you find any traces?"

"No."

Sano looked at Conan: "It's just experience, after all, you are here."

Conan: "..."

"...Hahaha, senior, you really like to joke, how could it be such a coincidence."

Suzuki Sonoko was talking, but he hesitated and stared at Conan vigilantly.

...Don't stare at yourself with such eyes!
Conan's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot, and Sano continued: "Of course, you can also choose not to believe that the case will happen. In that case, you can directly bet that the case will not happen. The victim...betting on the murderer is also possible."

"In the end, the person who made a wrong bet will pay one yuan, and the person who made a right bet will have a free dinner. How about it? Isn't this game good?"

Conan frowned: "Are you sure it's just because of my experience that I proposed this kind of game, instead of actually finding any clues?"

Sano raised Erlang's legs, waved his hands and said, "Well, what clues can I find, but I just met one side, who do you think I am, a fairy?"

...That seems to be the case.

Those who were persuaded by Sano pondered for a while.

"Then I bet there will be no case."

Conan chose to defend his dignity, and so did Mao Lilan.

The other three chose to have a case happen.

Of course, whether there will be a case or not, the three of them actually have no number at all.

Just purely for entertainment.

Or maybe it feels like Sano's proposal for such a game is one-sided.

May be more embarrassing?
The three gave their answers one after another.

But Sonoko Suzuki and Narumi Asai both bet on the bald novelist.

...No way, said there are four options, but it was just a chance encounter. Except for the bald guy, the other three novel editors don't even remember what they look like, that is, Shiliang Zhenchun Not only have I seen it once, so I still remember it relatively clearly.

"Then I'll choose that bald guy too, and I'm determined to leave. Now I'll just wait for the result."

Sano was talking, but his attention was completely focused on his... ear.

It should be said to be next to the ear.

According to Erhei's explanation, the case is about to happen.

The bald man didn't know what he was thinking, and forcibly pulled the three novel editors into his room, and treated them to a big meal, um, a super big meal, regardless of whether they could eat it or not. get off.

... Well, in fact, Sano is precisely because of the feast described by Erhei.

That's when the glutton was moved, and I planned to come over for dinner... Cough.

But this kind of development is a bit beyond Sano's expectation, because it is too wrong.

"There are so many manuscripts that I can't handle it. The editors of whichever publishing house eats the most will deal with the manuscripts of whichever one." These are the original words of the bald man.

In addition to proving that the status of other novelists and publishing houses is not as disparity as originally Sano imagined, it also feels too much like that bald guy wants to keep those three people in the house on purpose—to create an alibi?

If this is the case, then Sano made a wrong bet.

This bald man is the murderer, and the victim is one of the three editors?

From this point of view, is it planning to poison?
However, before Sano could think about the result, an outsider stepped in.

Since it was a competition, the bald man would order another bunch of takeaways when the three of them had eaten about the same amount, and the door kept opening and closing during the period.

But one of them, there was a waitress in hotel overalls who stayed behind and sneaked into the bathroom next to the door.

Sano thought that the real murderer finally appeared.

In the end, Erhei said that the bald guy again, and seemed to know the waitress.

To be precise, the bald man cooperated with the waitress to sneak into the bathroom.

...What kind of thing is this?

Could it be that the murderer this time had two people who committed the crime together.

I just don't know who the deceased is.

It's impossible for all three to die, right?

For what?
The two people, a man and a woman, may be in a relationship, but it's because the three editors bite too hard and their relationship is disturbed, so they are impatient?
...Well, it seems reasonable.

"Master, that bald head has made a move!"

Suddenly, Erhei's reminder brought Sano back to God.

"That guy's target is the woman who secretly stayed behind disguised as a waitress, and he intends to strangle her to death, because he turned on the shower as an excuse to take a bath, so the sound of water covered her struggling movement. "

...is that so? ?
"Do it, pay attention to the amount, just control it, don't kill it!"

After Sano gave the order, Erhei, who was lying on the ceiling of the bathroom in the bald man's room, immediately opened his mouthparts and squeezed out a drop of spider venom.

Right in the forehead of the bald man.

"...It seems that it has already started, let's go."

After Sano proposed the game and placed all bets, the rest of the people waited for a while before reaching the next stage. Naturally, they quickly turned their attention to other topics. Now they were suddenly pulled out, and they were immediately stunned.

"What, started?"

Sano got up and walked out: "Of course it's the result of a game of gambling."

Conan and the others reacted immediately, and followed Sano with some hesitation.

But as soon as they went out, Conan and the others heard the noise.

... No way, no way, could it be that Sano really got what he said?
After speeding up their pace and turning the corner, what Conan and the others saw was a woman with a pale and frightened face at the door of the room where the novelist lived.

Sitting paralyzed on the ground.

Beside them were the three editors of the publishing house who seemed to be confused about the situation—"He's going to kill me, he's going to kill me!"

The voice in the woman's mouth fluctuates.

It seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be calling for help.

"what happened!?"

Conan leaned over and asked about the situation.

One of the bald editors came back to his senses and pointed to the room: "We don't know very well, but she suddenly ran out of the bathroom and said that someone was going to kill her, but what we saw was something wrong with Mr. Huopu... "

... The novelist, sure enough!

Conan looked back, only to see the door of the bathroom in the house, lying on his stomach a bald man with a face full of pain, a ferocious expression, and his face turned blue and purple.

Saliva, tears and snot flowed out uncontrollably, covering his face.

A strong sense of suffocation, pain from the heart and brain, spread throughout the body.

"... not dead yet, call an ambulance!"

Looking at the bald man who was twitching and writhing like a maggot, Conan froze for a moment, and after a sigh of relief, he became even more nervous.

Hastily shouted to Mao Lilan.

"oh oh!"

Mao Lilan took out her mobile phone and went to call the police.

"This is poisoning."

Sano reached out his hand to stop Conan who was about to rush into the house, then stepped inside, stretched his hand behind the wall calmly, and Erhei fell into his palm.

Quickly climbed into the sleeve.

"If you are poisoned, I will come..."

Asai Chengshi, who had been ignored by the doctor, poked his head in, but before he could put his feet in, he saw Sano grabbing the back of the bald man's neck, fingers hard, as if he was feeling something .

"Don't move."

Originally, Sano was still thinking about whether he should just leave the bald guy alone and just take him out of the house to ensure that he would not die in his mission area.

After all, this guy himself is the murderer who really intends to kill, and for some reason... Maybe it's because the two colleagues hate each other, and Sano is very upset to see each other.

To die is to die.

But after thinking about it later, what if this guy died and was taken for a comprehensive autopsy, and the autopsy found residues of spider venom, or just traces.

That's not so good.

Simply almost on the line.

Anyway, in the final analysis, it is just a little life that has nothing to do with passers-by, whether it is life or death.

Sano didn't care.

"……All right."

After thoroughly drawing out the spider venom from the bald man's body, Sano withdrew his palm and looked at the people outside the door: "Death is definitely not going to die, but we still have to be sent to the hospital first. Will there be any sequelae in the future? I don't care." Easy to say."

"..."

Seeing that the bald man's complexion improved a lot, the expressions of Conan and the others became a little indescribable: "...you, are you good at medicine?"

"Medicine?"

Sano frowned: "Is this how your medical skills are used?"

"..."

Said, as if said?

Conan shook his head, became more confused, and asked, "Since it's not a medical skill, how did you get rid of the poison in him?"

"Business secrets, the ability to make money and eat, can I tell you?"

Sano smiled mysteriously: "Okay, let's not talk about this, now the result has come out, although he is the murderer who failed, but he is also the victim, if it is not for me, it will die, you three lost the bet .”

"...Wait, wait a minute!"

Conan didn't expect Sano to still say this at this juncture... Although there is no real problem, it is still a problem.

Don't you think it's unethical?

But Conan also noticed the details in Sano's words.

"It's the murderer and the victim, that is to say, he really planned to kill this lady, but at the same time he was really almost killed, right?"

Conan stared at Sano suspiciously, and asked while speculating: "Is it impossible? This young lady set up a suspicious situation, saying that she was almost killed by him, but in fact she was lying, or she deliberately led the other party to do it, okay?" Create the illusion that he is in self-defense... But this should not be poison, so could it be just an accident, after all, what kind of poison he has, it has not yet been determined, right?"

"I'm pretty sure, two murderers, two victims."

Sano was too lazy to argue with Conan: "If you don't believe me, you can check it out slowly, but remember to pay first, the three of us won, but we are going to eat."

"..."

Conan was silent for a few seconds, and tilted his head in confusion: "No, do you mean that you have seen through all the truth, why don't you explain it quickly and catch the murderer?"

"So what if you know it, do you still need to say it?"

Sano first looked at the woman outside the door: "She was almost killed, even if there is no other witness, but as long as the police are called to conduct an on-site investigation and it is confirmed that her testimony is correct, the prosecution is basically a certainty."

Then Sano looked at the bald man at his feet again: "As for him, there is nothing we can do. At least the people present are not poisoners. There is no way to narrow down the scope of suspects, so it is impossible to find the murderer." .”

...Sano didn't lie.

It was true that there were two murderers and two victims.

It's just that the other murderer is Sano, but it's really impossible to be caught.

Is there a problem?

And no problem.

"...There is no way to find the murderer."

At this time, Conan asked again with a heavy face: "Are you really sure that you have tried your best, but you obviously haven't done anything?"

"Believe it or not, I told you, if you don't believe me, you can check it yourself."

Sano took out his mobile phone to check the time, and walked to the sofa beside him: "Forget it, there is still some time before dinner, so just wait here for a while."

Seeing this, Conan's brows were so tight that he could almost kill a fly.

In the next second, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Conan turned his head to look at Mao Lilan and the others outside the door. Fortunately, affected by the atmosphere, they didn't seem to feel that it was unreasonable for him, a first-grade elementary school student, to discuss the case with Sano so seriously. Something was wrong, just thinking with the same frown.

"Sister Shiliang should also try to find out the truth."

Conan quickly shifted his focus to Sera Masumi, lest Mao Lilan would notice his "abnormal" behavior just now after he couldn't figure out the answer.

...Although this is not the first time, even if it is noticed, there should be nothing wrong with it, but it should be avoided as much as possible.

"Ah... um."

Shiliang Zhenchun came back to her senses and noticed Conan's intentions, but she didn't say anything more, gave Conan the step, and then entered the room to start the on-site investigation... The bald guy is not in a good condition, so I guess I should ask If nothing comes out, the most correct option is to first investigate the scene and see if there are any useful clues.

Conan and Sera Masumi were investigating, and Mori Ran Suzuki Sonoko and Asai Narumi could only watch, sitting on the sofa with Sano in a daze.

"Dudu-"

After the phone vibrated, Sano took it out and took a look, it was a text message from Gin Jiu.

"Assemble early, I need to find you."

...What still needs to be assembled early?

Sano rubbed his fingers, but he didn't let himself go over immediately, nor did he make a phone call. It shouldn't be a big or urgent matter.

But it just happened to mention such a mouth... Is it a big or small thing?

"Someone invites you to dinner tonight, so go later."

After thinking about it, Sano chose a slightly rebellious approach.

Gin, on the other hand, returned quickly.

"Can I make a call?"

... Can't wait so much, what's the matter?

Sano nodded with interest, then got up and walked out.

"I'm going to the toilet, you guys check it out here slowly."

"okay."

Arriving at the stairs of the safe passage on this floor, Sano called Gin Jiu.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"A news came from the FBI's undercover agent. When you acted with the black cat, he confronted people from the America military and said he was a member of the black organization... Is this true? If Yes, do you know?"

Oh... so this is the matter, did you only receive the news now, it's a bit late.

It's not convenient for undercover agents to pass on news.

Or is the level too low, resulting in not being able to know the first time?

Sano, who almost forgot that there was such a thing, did not forget to respond with doubts on his mouth: "What black clothes, why didn't I know there was such a thing?"

"really do not know?"

"really do not know."

"...That's why he's messing around with us, we have to get rid of it."

Regarding Gin's statement, Sano didn't feel any surprise.

It has been expected.
