Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but look at Takagi Wataru with pity in his eyes.

...It was already hard enough to not be able to catch up with my sweetheart, and it was a fact that I was forced to stay and work overtime, but now Sano was actually using him as a tool to take revenge on Officer Megure.

Really miserable.

After the above incident, Takagi Wataru, who tossed and turned in his bed all night, finally filled out the reimbursement application form while struggling and hesitating.

There is no other way. If I don’t reimburse myself, I will probably starve to death today!

So things became what they are now.

...Officer Megure, who learned the whole story from Takagi Wataru, felt extremely angry, so he made a phone call to Sano, intending to argue with him.

Of course, no one answered.

Officer Memu is incompetent and furious.jpg.

On the other side, Sano didn't even know that Officer Megure had called him because he was busy replying to Gin's message.

"How's the progress?"

It seemed that based on the experience last time, this time Gin didn't call Sano, he just left a text message, and he was alone until the morning when he found him.

Urging, urging, urging again, don’t worry.

Sano curled his lips and spoke three words with his backhand.

"Working hard."

In the black Porsche 356A, Gin looked at the text message he had just received on his mobile phone, and then read the headline in the newspaper "The Dongdu Bank Robbery Case Was Solved by the Well-known High School Detective Sano..." and sighed deeply. One breath.

calm down.

It's only three things, yes, give Sano another chance.

If this guy shows up again and pretends that he is "working hard" even though he is clearly busy with unimportant cases, then...

In addition, send someone to Black Death to investigate.

As for Sano?

Just send it off to do some tasks that will be more proactive.

Anyway, it just so happens that the tasks on hand are quite tight right now.

At the same time, after Sano washed up and went out, he did nothing else but switched his vest and prepared to meet Kuroba Kaito.

In fact, not to mention that on the Suzuki family ship, Sano, as a black death, brushed his face in front of Kuroba Kaito. Even earlier, this guy had been frantically sending messages to Sano, trying to Meet.

Sano just ignored it.

...But speaking of Kuroba Kaito, there is another thing that must be mentioned.

That was yesterday, on the way back from the Metropolitan Police Department, Conan mentioned to Sano that the Mori family and others teamed up to go to the castle.

Sano didn't remember any of the verbose things, he only remembered two things.

First, Kogoro Mori swore a guarantee to Natsumi Kasaka, saying that he would convince Shiro Suzuki to give her the Egg of Memory... I don’t know who gave him the confidence.

Although Shiro Suzuki did give it away.

... really rich and powerful.

If only I had known that Sano would have tried to get one, he might have gotten an 800 million egg for free.

As for the second one, after the castle adventure, the art dealer Gan Jiang was found passed out in a public restroom.

To put it bluntly, the go-getter who went in with the team was fake and could only be Kuroba Kaito.

None of this was important. What was important was that on the afternoon of the day he returned from the castle, Kuroba Kaito appeared in his true form at the Mori Detective Agency.

Of course, this guy took advantage of Kudo Shinichi.

Of course, in Conan's eyes, that was not Kuroba Kaito's true form. He only thought that the other person was because he saved his pigeon, so he wanted to return a favor to himself, so he disguised himself as "Kudo Shinichi" and came here. Rescue.

Of course, if Conan hadn't mentioned it, Sano would have forgotten that he was on the ship before. Mao Lilan seemed to have begun to doubt this kid.

Forget it, it's all trivial matters.

"It's so hard to meet you."

Sano raised his head slightly, glanced at the middle-aged man descending from the sky, curled his lips and said, "Don't say anything in front of me, or it will make people want to break your neck."

Under the human skin mask, Kuroba Kaito choked.

"Okay, let me tell you something serious. What is going on with the little ghost detective on the Suzuki family ship and the short-haired mixed-race girl next to him? Although I am not very curious, that girl seems to be Akemi. My sister, I guess, the photo you sent me last time was also hers."

Looking at Kuroba Kaito chattering away a lot of nonsense, Sano raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Sister Akemi, your relationship with that guy has heated up quite quickly."

"Um?"

Kuroba Kaito didn't expect Sano's focus to be so cunning. After rolling his eyes, he nodded and asked, "Yeah, what, are you jealous? Do you want to eat hers or mine?"

"If I say I'm jealous of you, can I break your neck now just in case something unexpected happens?"

Facing Sano's question again, Kuroba Kaito was stunned: "No, brother, don't scare me. I was just joking. Can you not take it so seriously? I'm a coward."

"Then tell me the real story."

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

Didn't you change the subject first just now?

"I mean, can you have a good chat with Sister Mingmei? After you sent the photo of the little girl earlier, although she has become a lot calmer, she still looks depressed and unhappy every day. I I'm worried that if she continues like this, she will get sick sooner or later."

For some reason, Sano seemed to see the feeling of his old father in Kuroba Kaito, a boy who was obviously younger than Miyano Akemi.

It's rare to communicate with a serious face. It can even be said that you are lowering your profile with Sano?

"Then what do you want to do."

Sano asked Kuroba Kaito what he thought.

"It's very simple, let them meet."

Kuroba Kaito paused: "What I mean is that through my disguise technique, I can let Akemi-sensei contact the little girl in another identity. In this way, her identity will not be exposed, which is the best of both worlds, right?" .”

"Yeah."

Sano picked his fingers out of boredom.

"..."

Don't just say "Really?", but finish the sentence!

Kuroba Kaito felt a little crazy, but he still had to swallow his anger.

But Kuroba Kaito had just calmed down and before he could attack again, Sano's reply came.

"Okay, you can just take care of it yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"……Why!??"

Kuroba Kaito's breath was stuck in his throat, and he called Sano in disbelief: "You, you, you, agreed?"

"Yeah, there's nothing I can't agree with."

Sano said impatiently: "My request has always been simple. She is not allowed to reveal her true identity to avoid exposing her fake death and to avoid exposing my friend's problems. Since you are all confident that she will not be exposed, then do it." Everything is entirely your own problem.”

"The best I can do is to stop you in time when I feel that you are seeking death. In addition, if you are already seeking death, I will deal with you in time."

"If you keep clamoring to meet and chat with me because of such a boring little thing, then I have to remind you not to do it again."

Kuroba Kaito stared blankly at Sano's back, his face still full of confusion.

It turns out that the other party doesn't care about this matter at all.

Then he racked his brains and prepared so many words to persuade the other party, and he harassed the other party with text messages day and night to get closer in an attempt to meet and communicate——

All for what?

...fighting with the air? ?

Sano didn't know what Kuroba Kaito was feeling at the moment.

But actually speaking, even if Miyano Akemi's true identity is exposed, it is basically unlikely to have much impact on Sano.

After all, there were so many core members present at the time. After the death of "Miyano Akemi", a DNA test was conducted, confirming that the deceased was indeed the target.

Under such conditions, no one discovered that Miyano Akemi had faked her death. Who could be blamed?

What, Miyano Akemi and even Kuroba Kaito said it was Sano who saved people...technically Rye?

Is there any evidence?

No?

That's a big deal.

To put it bluntly, Sano, who possesses the art of disguise, the art of cloning, and the cat version of enhanced invisibility, is now fearless. No matter how outrageous the lie is, he feels that he can round it off. If he can't round it, he can just force it away. .

What a big deal.

As for why in this state, Sano still refused to let Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai recognize each other with their true identities, it was simply venting their anger.

Sano has never forgotten that a fake lolita put him in jail because of his bad mouth.

Although the other party is basically "for his own good", this does not prevent Sano from not wanting to make the other party feel better.

Want to know that your sister is still alive?

Want to meet your sister?

That depends on Sano's mood.

After humming a little tune and carrying a big bag from Xiaosan, Sano switched his vest back to his original vest and arrived downstairs at the Maori Detective Agency.

"Is this right here?"

Sano's eyes fell on the "Poirot Cafe" sign on the first floor.

That's right, the purpose of Sano's visit to the Mori Detective Agency this time was not to have anything to do with Conan, the God of Plague, but to take over the coffee shop downstairs.

The origin is a new mission triggered by Sano before going to bed last night.

[Please take over the target cafe within the mission time limit. If you complete it, you will get one hundred strengthening points. The remaining time of the mission is - 19:59:59].

To be honest, Sano didn't quite understand what he wanted to do when he was asked to take over a coffee shop, but to be a worker you must have the consciousness to be a worker, and that's it.

That's why Sano withdrew some money from the Black Death's small vault to use it as a takeover.

...After all, the investment in starting the company was too high before, and Sano's savings were almost wiped out.

Fortunately, the return of funds is quite fast and Sano will not be left with no money.

"Um?"

"Senior, why are you here?"

It happened that Mao Lilan opened the second-floor window at this time, and immediately noticed Sano below, and stretched out his hand to say hello.

...It happened to happen.

Sano, who originally planned to keep a low profile, didn't expect to be seen by Mao Lilan, so he could only raise his hand and say hello.

"Yo."

Mao Lilan was about to ask Sano why he came here, but the next second he saw the other party waving at him.

After tilting her neck, Mao Lilan ran downstairs with a bang.

After a while, Maori Lan, as well as Maori Kogoro and Conan, who ran downstairs with her, roughly understood what was going on.

"Hey...it turns out that Café Poirot is looking for someone to take over."

Mouri Kogoro squinted at Sano: "But why did you, a little devil, come here to take over? And if you want to open a coffee shop, there are many in Tokyo, but you chose the one downstairs of my house. You kid, could it be to get close to Xiaolan? Did you do this on purpose?"

Sano calmly took a sip of coffee and glanced at Moori Kogoro: "Really? I think it's better to say that I took over this cafe to get closer to your wife than to say that I took over this cafe to get closer to your daughter."

"Nani!?"

Mouri Kogoro instantly broke through the defense and was about to pounce on Sano with all his teeth and claws.

Of course, he was stopped by Mao Lilan.

"Oh dad, can you use your brain? If the senior really wants to get close to my mother, then why bother taking over the cafe downstairs of the office? He should open it directly under the law firm where my mother works."

After hearing Mao Lilan's dissuasion, Mao Li Kogoro finally stopped messing around, but after thinking for a while, he got angry again: "Then it's just you, you bastard!"

"I'm not telling you, why are you so excited when I take over a coffee shop?"

Sano held his chin with one hand and looked at Mouri Kogoro: "We are all neighbors from now on, so we should try our best to get along with each other as friendly as possible, detective."

"I don't agree with you, neighbor, you are so big. I firmly disagree!"

Mouri Kogoro said seriously.

"...I'm not taking over your firm, so what's the use if you don't agree."

Sano said disdainfully.

"ha!"

Mouri Kogoro suddenly swelled and raised his head in knowledge: "You may not know this, Poirot, this is actually my territory!"

"Um?"

Sano turned his attention to the side, the middle-aged lawyer who came to sign the contract with him on behalf of Poirot's boss, and then got an affirmative answer.

It turns out that this three-story small bungalow is actually owned by Moori Kogoro.

Except for the second floor, which was used as an office, and the third floor, which was used for food and accommodation, the first floor was rented out by Kogoro Mori so that he could collect some money to support his family.

...You can’t tell, but Mouri Kogoro is quite rich.

After all, the price of a three-story building in this location will definitely not be low, as can be seen from the rent of the coffee shop on the first floor.

Seeing Sano get the answer from the lawyer, Mouri Kogoro suddenly became more arrogant, laughing so hard that he almost pushed his head to the back of his butt.

"Submit it now, kid!"

"But even if Poirot is really the place you rent, you have already rented it out, haven't you?"

Sano interrupted Mouri Kogoro's laughter: "Do you still need me to teach you the difference between ownership and use rights, Detective?"

Mouri Kogoro's laughter stopped abruptly.

Indeed, as a detective and former police officer, Kogoro Mori certainly understands the difference between ownership and use rights.
