Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Sano also arranged for his little pet to follow the duo to see the situation.

Who knew that I would just witness the whole process of the case.

Therefore, the gateway to this game was placed in front of Sano as early as the beginning.

"Dudu——"

But just when Sano was about to speak, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

He took it out and looked at it, it was Gin's phone number.

Sano pressed the hang up button, intending to deal with the matter in front of him first.

But who knew that before the phone could be closed, Gin's call came again.

Is there an emergency?

Sano frowned, knowing that if he didn't answer, Gin would probably keep calling.

...The missed call from Jiujiujia last time is still fresh in my mind.

"Sorry, customer's call, please wait a moment."

Sano turned around and found a room to go in. Conan wanted to sneak in and eavesdrop, but under the sight of Officer Megure, he could only choose to wait quietly.

A few minutes later.

Sano came out of the room, put his phone back in his pocket, walked to the middle of the room, and attracted the attention of everyone present: "Okay, a small problem has been solved now, we can solve this problem."

Um?

Conan turned around suddenly, looked at the door that was open a crack, and narrowed his eyes.

Was the door open when you came in just now?

Before Conan could think about it, his attention was drawn back by Sano's voice.

"Let me ask first, are these three suspects?"

Sano turned his attention to the two men and one woman present except the police personnel and Conan.

Officer Megure and the three suspects were stunned.

...It's still the same statement as before. In this situation, it's okay to talk about suspects in private, but it's a bit inappropriate to put it out in the open.

But before the three suspects had time to retort, Sano asked again.

"One of the three should have been on the phone with the deceased."

After another moment of surprise, a middle-aged man with a slightly red face, who must have drunk a lot of wine, immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

"I……"

Sano still didn't give the man a chance to speak out, and kept pulling on the progress bar.

"Very well, let's start with the explanation of the killing techniques."

The method of killing?

Is this already visible? ?

After Sano took out his cell phone and called, Hattori Heiji's cell phone rang.

Hattori Heiji looked stunned, took out his cell phone and took a look.

It's an unfamiliar number.

Judging from the current situation, the caller is probably not a stranger.

After looking up at Sano hesitantly for a few seconds, Hattori Heiji pressed the connect button: "Hello?"

"Can you hear me? I mean the voice on the phone."

Sano said this, and Hattori Heiji immediately frowned: "I can hear it, but it's a little hard to hear. The mobile phone signal here doesn't seem to be very good."

"This is normal, because the floors here are very high, generally..."

Judy, who lives next door, explained why.

Sano took up the topic and said, "I usually go to the balcony to answer the phone, right."

"……um, yes."

Sano turned around and led the way to a room.

"The deceased probably fell out of this room. It will be very clear when you look at the layout. There are two windows, one with a balcony outside, and the other with an empty outside. If his bed is usually placed next to the window next to the balcony , and I’m more afraid of trouble, so when I receive a call with poor signal, I will habitually climb over the window and go to the balcony to answer the call.”

After hearing this, the context is already very clear.

Everyone present unconsciously slowly widened their eyes, including Conan Hattori Heiji, and they all looked at the suspect who was on the phone with the deceased.

And the man's expression quickly became panicked.

"Are you kidding me? Although I did call him and asked him to die. Regarding the movable bed, he just asked me to help him change the layout of the room. There is no motive for the murder! ?”

Under the sudden and violent stimulation, the man seemed to have entered a state of breaking things, using a shameless tactic.

However, what Sano didn't understand was a little bit.

Since we are all ready to fight hard, why don’t we focus on the key points?

Motive for murder?

What kind of evidence is the core!

What made Sano even more confused was that Conan and Hattori Heiji then came up with the motive for the murder.

...With Sano's "reasoning", the two of them naturally figured out their thoughts very quickly.

For example, on the window where the deceased fell, there were traces that seemed to have been hit by a mobile phone, which made the two of them realize that this was a signal left by the deceased.

Before falling downstairs, the deceased pressed the record button of the call.

This makes the vicious curse issued by the "murderer" before his death the motive for the murder.

presented.

Sano probably listened for a while, but it was the deceased who killed someone anyway.

The murderer is out for revenge.

The man's face instantly became dull, and he fell to his knees with a plop, admitting his crime.

...You can actually recognize this?

Zuo Ye was speechless because there was no evidence in this case.

Maybe the man did move the deceased's bed and "induced" it.

But what the outcome will be depends on how the court decides.

If Sano were this man, he would most likely find the most capable lawyer and try his best to address "fault" and "accident".

But now the man admitted it directly.

Naturally, it can only be treated as intentional homicide.

But this has nothing to do with Sano, just admit it if the other party admits it.

Instead, it saves Sano the trouble of thinking about whether the package contains the truth or not. He must find evidence to ensure that the other party will go to jail.

"Then, I'll leave first."

Before Officer Megure even realized that the case was over, Sano had already said goodbye and quickly left the house and headed for the elevator.

"Wait a moment!"

Conan and the other three chased him out and got into the elevator with Sano.

Sano glanced at the three of them and pressed the first floor button: "Is something wrong?"

Conan blinked, smiled and patted his head: "It's okay, we just plan to go down for dinner, so we don't want to wait for another elevator."

A very weak lie.

But Sano didn't bother to compete with Conan.

Sano said before that he was in a hurry and it was just for fun, but now.

Sano is really in a hurry.

It wasn't Gin's phone number...well, maybe that was one of the reasons.

To be precise.

It is the "root of all evil".

Sano's calm eyes gradually became cold, but at this moment, Hattori Heiji suddenly asked: "Kurosawa, did you know that the phone was recorded from the beginning? If not, what were you going to do? "

...You called yourself "Mr. Kurosawa" just now, and now you're calling him by his first name?

Sure enough, it is cooked on its own.

Sano glanced at Hattori Heiji and said casually: "First, the commission I received is only to find out the truth, and it does not include putting him in jail. Second, he will admit the crime only if he makes a mistake. Third, if I really want him to go to jail.”

"...I have a thousand ways to make him feel that prison is the best paradise."

Hearing Sano's inexplicably chilling words behind him, Hattori Heiji's expressions changed in different ways, especially Conan.

There was nothing I could do about it, Sano's words really made Conan feel too familiar.

The original Black Death was how criminals surrendered.

By the way, he gave Conan a kick... He would remember this kick for the rest of his life.

Like the original guy who was the source of all evil, the one who gave Conan the sap from behind.

Have about the same weight.

"Ding!"

Arriving on the first floor, after the elevator door opened, Sano walked out quickly.

…What’s the emergency?

Conan and the other three followed closely behind, and they didn't look like they were just going to see clients.

Is there some urgent rescue operation?

Even Judy among the three had already learned from Shuichi Akai about the relationship between Kurosawa and Black Mask. Naturally, she knew that in addition to being a private detective, the man in front of her was also a superhero who acted in secret.

Therefore, this "urgent matter" is worth considering.

The curiosity of the three people was successfully aroused, and they kept thinking about what kind of excuse they should use later to naturally change the next direction from "eating" to team action.

Suddenly, Sano reached out and grabbed a man in a hat who was passing by, and his voice interrupted the three people's thoughts: "What are you carrying in your hand?"

The man in the hat was also stunned, and tried to push Sano's hand away with some dissatisfaction.

"none of your business?"

"This is my thing for now, what do you think it has to do with me?"

Sano frowned slightly, his eyes and tone were extremely cold, and he increased his strength on his hands, making it impossible for the man in the hat to push away, and at the same time he felt a pain.

……what's the situation?

The confused Conan and the other three subconsciously looked at the key points that led to this development.

In the hands of the man in the hat, he was carrying a... box covered with black cloth?

Originally, Conan and the other three thought it was a box, but under Sano's strength, the hat man's hand immediately became a little unsteady. During the shaking, the black cloth slipped.

It's a cage.

In the cage is a black cat.

...black cat! ?

Conan's eyes widened instantly, recognizing this familiar black cat.

Was this cat originally raised by Kurosawa? ?

Before Conan could think deeply, the man in the hat broke into a cold sweat and said calmly: "Are you kidding? This is obviously my cat, right?"

"Then you call it and see if it responds to you."

In addition to the coldness in Sano's tone, there was also a little impatience.

...Yes, Sano, strictly speaking, is his clone in black cat form.

Kidnapped by this hat man.

And it’s not a joke-like animal kidnapping association.

Because Gin was urging Sano to go there, Sano separated into a clone at the deceased's house and left, entering the black cat form midway to hide his identity from others.

But who could have imagined that as soon as Sano left the apartment, he was blocked by three people.

These three people have a lot of "experience" and a complete set of tools.

Obviously this is not the first time this kind of "kidnapping" work has been done.

Sano couldn't even release his black cat form under the watchful eyes of three people.

In the end, there was no doubt that he was caught...well, Sano actually didn't want to try.

As I said before, no matter how experienced a cat catcher is, the chance of catching a cat is only half and half, and the same is naturally true for these people.

The only problem is that the cat-catching tools these people use are dangerous.

There was a crazy craze in catching stray animals in Tokyo.

Most of them are stray dogs.

Except for some special groups, it is mostly just because of the unsafety of stray dogs... although this also involves Xiao Hei's "guidance" factor.

On the other hand, stray cats do not have this problem.

Therefore, after Sano established the Tokyo Stray Animal Rescue Center, it first focused on stray dogs.

But this does not mean that there is no special group of stray cats in Tokyo.

Sano happened to meet him today.

Maybe Sano can escape by relying on the characteristics of cats, but in case he doesn't escape.

Sano will lose a vest.

To sum up, Sano did not choose to resist, but obediently became the object of the three people.

Anyway...it's only a matter of time before we find a few people.

No matter what happens, Sano can still choose to cancel the clone when the three of them are not looking at him.

Keep your vest first.

I didn't expect to meet him here... in short.

Sano was a little angry.

Faced with Sano's question, the hat man sneered and said: "A white-eyed wolf like a cat is like an ancestor. If it ignores me, it doesn't count as being raised by me. What's the point? If you have the ability, you can Call it out."

"See if it should respond to you."

Sano called out without hesitation... "Kuroko". The black cat in the cage immediately stood up and moved toward him. Anyone could see what was going on.

Seeing this, the panic on the hat man's face became more obvious.

But just when the hat man couldn't hold on anymore, two of his teammates finally walked into the apartment, which immediately made him feel more confident.

"you……"

"You ungrateful animal."

Sano didn't give the hat man a chance to commit suicide.

The hand that grabbed the opponent's upper arm suddenly slid down and landed at the elbow.

He folded it with his backhand, grabbed his wrist with the other hand and pulled it.

"Click!"

"……ah!!!"

The left arm of the man in the hat was bent to a ninety-degree angle.

Snow-white bones mixed with flesh penetrated the skin, and the screams were ear-piercing.

Sano caught the cage that fell after the hat man let go, and handed it to the three people who were stunned next to him.

"Get ten seconds for me."

"Why?"

Judy subconsciously reached out and took the cage. When she looked up again, Sano had already walked towards the other two people.

"wait……"

Before Conan could even recover, the other two had already followed in the former's footsteps.

After turning around, Sano took back the cage amidst the bursts of screams, and then left quickly. At the same moment, the elevator door "dinged" again.

Officer Megure and his team came out.

Then he was stunned in place by the scene in front of him.

"What, what's going on?"

"It looks like a cat abuse gang."

Judy didn't know when she had dug out the hat man's phone. After a few operations, she clicked on a video. After turning the phone screen, the content made everyone, including Conan, unable to bear to look at it.

Originally, Conan thought it was a bit too harsh for Kurosawa to be so ruthless just because of a cat, but now it seems.

It's a lot more reasonable.

But what is reasonable is reasonable, but the awkwardness is still there.

Because Kurosawa is not only Kurosawa, but also Black Mask.

That might be a bit wrong to say, but that's the truth.

At this moment, in the minds of Conan and others, the original pure white image of "Black Mask" seemed to have a faint black line, or in other words.

Only then did Conan and the others realize that they seemed to have thought too well of Kurosawa.

Maybe Black Mask is still righteous, but at least.

Conan will no longer think that the other party belongs to the role of a trusting man and a good woman.

But if you think about it carefully, this should be normal.

After all, a real person cannot be perfect unless he is pretending, or someone else thinks he is, or... that person is fictitious.

…

"Gah!"

Sano looked through the window at Daikoku who had fallen on the wire behind his house.

"I should have told you not to get so close to me."

"But I clearly didn't enter the house!"

"You might as well go inside."

"Really?"

"Wait a moment."

Sano first closed the window, then used the summons, and Dahei immediately appeared at home.

"Don't do it. It will have a bad impact if outsiders hear it."

Sano issued a restraining order to Dahei through spiritual communication.

Dahei nodded like a beast... It must be said that it was the nodding action of a bird creature.

It looks a bit weird.

As for why Sano wanted Dahei to keep a distance from him, and why he wanted to prohibit it from making any noise.

That's naturally because when he was with America, Rye would carry a black crow with him, which seemed to have become the FBI's default setting.

Sano didn't intend to let his true identity have anything to do with Dahei.

However, it is not necessary to drive Dahei too far away from him.

Firstly, this is because creatures like crows are more common than rare thin dogs like Xiaohei, and because of their ability to fly, they are not easy to detect.

Secondly, Sano's mentality towards his tool pets has always been relatively tolerant.

If you want to roam outside, let it roam.

If you are willing to follow, even if it may cause trouble, you can get over it by half-pushing and half-stepping.

…and let’s be honest.

Sano had a pet in his previous life, to be precise, it was a native dog from his hometown.

If I had to put it into words, it wasn't actually Sano's pet.

But that didn't stop Sano from liking that dog.

Cute and obedient, whenever he sees Sano, he will shake his tail into a propeller.

Sano has even considered them as family.

Don't allow others or other dogs to bully you. A mouthful of Sano's meat is indispensable without a mouthful of soup.

...It's a pity that I didn't know which idiot's medicine was taken off me later.

Even the cub who stayed behind lost his relationship because he went to school in the city.

Sano has no memory of when he disappeared.

Xiao Hei's appearance at the beginning brought back this memory of Sano, but after all, it was not that dog and would not hang around him all day long... Of course, he didn't think anything of it, and of course Hei liked to be clingy. Easier to accept.

"Dong dong dong."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of Sano's house.
