Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Feeling that he was being provoked again, Sano also raised his brows, stretched his neck like a rooster, and raised his head higher, wishing he could put his face against the face of the arrogant guy in front of him.

...It's just that this guy is a bit tall, which makes Sano inexplicably feel that he is a head shorter than him... although he is indeed a lot shorter.

But we can’t be too short on momentum!

Sano grimaced and tried to make his eyes as fierce as possible - just give it a try!

...This guy is indeed sick.

Akai Shuichi sighed inwardly, feeling a little disdainful of the person in front of him.

Just thinking about his identity and current situation, Akai Shuichi still didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and finally said: "I'm sorry, I bumped into you just now. I have something to do. Can you please give way."

Are you giving up now?

Sano was a little surprised as he put the heel he had raised hard back on the ground and retracted his neck.

But since the other party has already apologized, Sano doesn't want to appear too narrow-minded.

So he hummed softly and gave way to the other party.

... This kind of guy who still likes to provoke others for no apparent reason in the underground world will sooner or later one day offend someone he shouldn't, and then be killed.

Akai Shuichi took one last look at Sano and walked away.

But after walking a few steps, Akai Shuichi suddenly heard another voice coming from behind.

"Master Rye, everything has been taken care of, it's time to go."

"Um."

……rye?

Akai Shuichi, who noticed the keyword, was able to turn around, but he only saw Sano climbing into the co-pilot of the truck and then driving away.

Watching the truck gradually disappear from his sight, the surprise in Akai Hide's eyes slowly receded.

...It's really surprising that I happened to meet someone from the organization here, and he was also a cadre... who inherited his original code name.

By the way, organization codenames can be reused?

After squinting his eyes, Akai Shuichi retracted his divergent thoughts and turned around to leave.

…

When a person is particularly idle or very busy, time always passes surprisingly quickly.

Sano felt that it was only yesterday that Gin ended her vacation, but today it was already the day of the garden party.

Sano originally had no intention of getting involved in such troublesome activities, even if Suzuki Sonoko called him many times.

I just remembered the phone call Conan made to me at night on the day Hattori Heiji came over.

Sano felt that there was a high probability that he still had to go there, and when he was about to go out, he was triggered by a task that asked him to watch a play performed by Mao Lilan for ten minutes.

It also proves that today's garden party, 99.99% of the time, will not end peacefully.

"...Sano, here!"

By the time Sano arrived at the gymnasium stage where Teidan High School was performing, the play seemed to be about to start, and there were quite a lot of spectators at the scene.

Although it was not completely packed, there were indeed few empty seats.

Toyama Kazuha, who came all the way from Osaka to watch the play, didn't know if it was because of Suzuki Sonoko's instructions that he even left a seat for Sano next to him.

On the left are Toyama Kazuha and Mouri Kogoro, and on the right are those wearing masks... Conan, as for Suzuki Sonoko, as a screenwriter, she has to watch from the background.

"Really, you were a little too slow. I thought you wouldn't come."

Toyama and Ye took away the bag from the seat next to him so that Sano could sit down. He was still mumbling, as if he no longer regarded him as an outsider.

...I've obviously never met him a few times. It seems that except for this guy, the other people around me are not much better. Although it doesn't mean that I started to feel my heart out soon after I met him, but it's true that they all have some feelings. The tendency to come to maturity.

Suzuki Sonoko is an important representative here.

"Thanks."

After being polite to Toyama and Ye, Sano turned his attention to Conan, who had cold eyes next to him. He raised his hand and placed it on the other person's head, and began to rub it.

"..."

Conan gave Sano an impatient look, but didn't say much.

Then the play started, and Mao Lilan, who was dressed in a princess costume... which looked more like a wedding dress in Sano's eyes, started to pick up the drama accent and chattered a lot of things.

...Unlike most other dramas, this drama is a story designed by Suzuki Sonoko herself. To put it simply, it is nothing more than a princess and a knight, but with some extravagant settings.

The title of the play seems to be...tepid love?

What the hell is this name?

Sano held his chin up and looked at it for a while and then started to feel dazed. On the other hand, Mouri Kogoro, who was a seat away from him, shouted triumphantly and showed off his daughter.

It caused the distant mountains and leaves to cover their faces for a while.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Sano noticed a slight movement in Conan on his right. After looking over, he found a guy wearing a baseball cap sitting on his right.

Although the lights at the scene were very dim... because they were all focused on the stage, Sano could still clearly see the man's profile with his super high vision.

……Hattori Heiji?

Didn't Yuan Shan and Ye just say that this guy refused to come over? Why did he come again?

Also...has this guy turned gray?

Is it set off by the environment?

Sano rubbed his chin and was distracted, but at this moment, the male protagonist of the play also appeared. The action of holding Mao Lilan into his arms instantly made Mouri Kogoro's hair explode, and then the action of preparing to kiss made the old father even more excited. He wanted to rush onto the stage, but was held tightly by Toyama and Ye.

Then, just as Mao Lilan and the knight wearing a hood with only his mouth and nose exposed were about to kiss, a piercing scream rang out.

Oh, it's finally here.

Sano, who had expected it, didn't have any fluctuation in his expression.

Soon, Officer Megure arrived with his team.

"The deceased's name is Urata Kohei. He was 27 years old and a doctor working at Miwa General Hospital."

Officer Memu first conducted a rough on-site investigation. When asking about the time of the crime, he accidentally discovered the existence of Mao Lilan. He suddenly looked around with some surprise: "Since this is Xiaolan's high school, those two guys should also... …”

"What are you looking for, Officer Megure?"

Mouri Kogoro came closer and immediately made Officer Megure look like a dead fish.

Sure enough, it is this god of plague. This has actually caused harm to his daughter’s school. It’s really...wait a minute, besides this guy, there should be...

Taking a closer look, Officer Megure spotted Sano among the onlookers, his eyes even more glaring.

"Brother Sano, you are here too."

Forget about one God of Plague, two Gods of Plague are still together. It’s strange that today’s drama can end quietly. But having said that, it seems that it has been a long time since I met Sano at the crime scene...

Suddenly, Officer Megure's train of thought stagnated, and he walked quickly to Sano, showing a twisted smile: "Brother Sano, I suddenly remembered that the last time you went to my place to take notes, I think you asked Brother Takagi to invite you in the evening. Are you here to eat?"

...Oh, I still remember it, I almost forgot about it.

Sano responded calmly: "Well, that seems to be the case."

like?

Officer Megure's smile became more ferocious: "Brother Sano, do you know that although we can indeed reimburse some of the food expenses of citizens who come to cooperate with the work, there is an upper limit to this reimbursement?"

"so what."

Sano remained calm.

"So at least half of the money you spent on eating that day was paid for by me out of my own pocket!!"

Officer Megure really couldn't hold it in any longer.

Just let yourself pay or whatever.

But Sano actually looked like he had almost forgotten about it.

Is this really worthy of my wallet that I almost burped into?

This is simply too much. Isn’t this bullying an honest person?
