Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Because it seems that this is the only way to test each other.

But Sano still prefers to take the initiative in his own hands.

Not to mention that just because Sano doesn't give the other party a chance to test, it doesn't mean that he can't test the other party.

"Be prepared for surprises, senior."

...When Sano returned home, he saw a little girl standing at the door of his house with a grin on his face.

To be precise, his eyes were staring straight at the thing in his hand, and his mouth was almost drooling.

After a slight pause, Sano walked over.

"What are you doing?"

The little girl came back to her senses, wiped her saliva, and said with a smile: "We agreed to treat Sichuan to a feast!"

Sano nodded and glanced at what the little girl was holding. He endured it again and again, but still couldn't help but laugh: "So, this is the feast you mentioned?"

"yes!"

The little girl nodded her head like garlic and said with bright eyes: "Normally, my mother is reluctant to buy me food, and I don't dare to ask my mother for it because it costs a lot of money..."

Sano nodded again, did not continue the topic, and took out the key to open the door.

"Wait five minutes, we need to boil the water."

"OK."

The little girl put the two buckets of instant noodles on the table and sat down obediently... That's right, instant noodles.

This is what the little girl calls a feast.

To be honest, Sano didn't have high expectations at all, so he didn't expect that the little girl could really treat him to a big dinner, but in many of his expectations.

It really doesn’t include instant noodles.

But this doesn't seem to be any ordinary instant noodles.

After Sano put the water in, he came to the table to unpack and took a look at the words on the package. Super Invincible Luxury Carnival Instant Noodles...priced at 5,000 yen.

...Five thousand? ?

What kind of robbery? It’s so expensive! ?

He could obviously take away five thousand yuan, but he still gave him a bucket of instant noodles?

Sano frowned. In fact, for him, five thousand yuan for a meal was nothing. It was probably equivalent to a few hundred yuan for a meal in his previous life.

But five thousand yuan for a bucket of instant noodles is a bit outrageous.

The little girl is happy to spend money for Sano, and Sano is quite happy, but it’s such a way of spending money.

It's just a bit...that's it.

Sano picked up the little girl's instant noodles and took a look at it. It was different from his instant noodles. The price was much cheaper, and it was only one level better than ordinary instant noodles.

Generally speaking, when it comes to "gifts", especially gifts in a substantial sense, people are not willing to reveal the price, because if the price is too high, it is not good, and if the price is too low, it is not too harsh either. .

But that's for dirty adults.

A little girl will most likely not understand this.

Thinking from this perspective, the little girl may not have noticed this thing at all, or she may have noticed it but got a little cautious.

For example, to make Sano embarrassed, then exchange with the little girl or something.

Of course, Sano has never been willing to speculate on others with malicious intent.

What's more likely is that the little girl didn't have enough money. After buying Sano's bucket of instant noodles, she could only buy instant noodles of this level, but she still gave him the expensive one.

Even think better.

The little girl originally wanted to buy the cheapest instant noodles, but she was afraid that she would be embarrassed to change if she saw it, so she gritted her teeth and changed to a better instant noodles.

That's not impossible.

Of course, the most likely possibility is that this girl is just greedy.

Speaking of which...where did this little girl get her money?

Although these two barrels of instant noodles are not very expensive, they are probably a sky-high price for a kindergarten child. Not to mention that given the situation of the little girl's family, I am afraid that she may not even have pocket money. Could it be that there is a charity sale? "Commission"?

Sano asked.

The little girl replied that she went to return the gloves her mother had bought earlier today, and with the money she had saved, she paid the full price for these two barrels of instant noodles.

...The gloves are gone?

This was expected by Sano, but retreating today was a bit unexpected.

It’s been a long time since I bought it, why would my boss agree to return it?

Sano probably imagined the development, maybe the little girl acted coquettishly.

It just so happened that the boss did this again, so he quit?

"Woo~"

With the sound of water boiling, Sano, who had already unpacked all the packages, came to his senses, got up and went to get water, but when he came back, he threw all the various seasoning packets in his bucket of instant noodles. The little girl.

"Um?"

The little girl tilted her head in confusion: "Don't you want to eat the sorghum?"

"I don't like to eat these things. Instant noodles are instant noodles. Just keep them pure. If you like these fancy things, I'll give them to you."

...As a fast food, instant noodles themselves are different from the brand effect of those luxury goods. The price difference does not exist in the quality of the noodles.

It lies in the seasoning package, perhaps it should be called ingredient package.

Just like the name of this thing, there are various assorted little bags of braised eggs, ham, beef, etc. Just looking at them makes Sano feel unappetizing.

Of course, in the eyes of the little girl, this is probably really "luxury".

Therefore, when Sano brought those seasoning packets, the little girl was hesitant.

Seeing this, Sano could only speak again: "Don't think too much, I really don't want to eat that stuff. Otherwise, if I really like to eat it, why do you think the instant noodles I have at home are not like this? I will never be here." On the other hand, I'm treating myself badly, you still don't see much, I will take you to have a good time later when I have the opportunity."

……rub?

The little girl blinked but didn't say anything. She just silently tore open the seasoning packets one by one and poured them out. The instant noodles bucket was piled like a hill.

After the hot boiling water was poured in, Sano casually pulled two things to hold down the two buckets of instant noodles. After a few minutes, the aroma began to waft out.

"I'm gonna start now!"

The little girl forked a large ball of dough, blew it twice and then hurriedly put it into her mouth. As expected, it was so hot that she breathed out and could only swallow it in two whole mouthfuls.

Then he was burned again and again without stopping.

Sano ate very slowly, of course, mainly because he needed to be distracted.

Just when Sano returned home, Belmode on the other side also returned home, and also saw a familiar person waiting.

In the dim living room, only a trace of moonlight shines on the balcony.

After getting used to the dark environment for a while, Belmod was about to turn on the light when he immediately noticed a sudden black silhouette on his sofa.

It's people.

Who is he?

FBI?

No, the FBI shouldn't show up in such a hurry. Could it be that they're here just for Shinde Tomoe?

Belmode quickly raised his guard and touched the gun, but did not turn on the light.

"Why, don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't turn on the light, senior?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Belmode's pupils shrank instantly and he turned on the light.

As expected, I saw a white-haired figure wearing a black peaked cap, whose face could not be seen clearly.

"rye……"

Belmod's brain was stuck for a moment. She didn't understand why the other party appeared in her home, let alone when her identity was known to the other party. However, her subconscious reaction still made her quickly come to the balcony. After looking around carefully, the curtains were drawn.

Immediately afterwards, Belmode began to explore around the home again.

"Don't waste your time. The FBI won't be stupid enough to install surveillance cameras or bugs in your home. After all, they are seniors."

Hearing Sano's teasing, Belmode twitched the corner of his mouth, but remained silent and continued his inspection work until he was sure that there were no such tricks in the house.

Only then did Belmod turn his head and look at Sano coldly.

"Why are you here, Rye."

"You don't welcome me that much?"

Sano rubbed his gloved left hand and grinned: "Senior, do you think my presence here will harm your good deeds."

"...When did you find out that I was pretending here?"

Belmode asked back, not only to change the subject, but also out of genuine curiosity.

"Why, just allow senior to find out that I am fooling around with Akai Shuichi, and not allow me to find out who Akai Shuichi is eyeing. If you hadn't insisted on making that report, senior, I might not have been able to find you."

Sano said with a chuckle, causing Belmod to be speechless for a while.

Why the hell did Gin tell Rye all this? Isn't this just to attract hatred for himself... But he did figure out how the other party found him.

In addition, under such conditions, Rye's arrival should not be noticed by the FBI, so there is no possibility that the other party may want to close the network.

That's the only good news.

"So, you came here specifically to take revenge because I snitched on you?"

A mocking smile appeared on Belmod's face: "Speaking of which, did you follow Akai Shuichi here? I thought that when you saw him, you would start bombing regardless, just like last time. Could it be that , in your eyes, do I attract more hatred than him?"

"What are you talking about, senior? How could I hate you because of such a trivial matter?"

Sano raised his hand and took off his passerby hat, revealing his face so that Belmode could observe his facial expressions and changes in his eyes.

This was used to relax Belmode's vigilance so that he could see what the other party was thinking.

"I'm just a little curious. Senior, what do you want to do when you come all the way back to Neon from America, replace a little doctor, and go dormant?"

Sano lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and smiled...sweetly: "I did some research in advance for this, Maori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, Edogawa Conan, Sano Shinichiro, which of these four people is your target? One, or should I say, all four of them are your targets."

Belmode tried hard to maintain the curvature of the corners of his mouth, but his palms began to sweat.

It's like knowing that since the other party is here, there is a high probability that the FBI will not notice it, and there is a high probability that things will be installed in your home.

Since the other party proposed these four names.

That's not something Belmode can fool by just denying it.

How much does this guy have in his hands...

After licking his lips, Belmode sighed: "I can't help it, so I'll tell you... the one I'm watching is Sano Shinichiro."

Ha, sure enough.

Zuo Ye chuckled unconsciously.

Belmode was unwilling to put Mao Lilan and Conan in front of Rye, so naturally the only one who could tell was one of Sano and Suzuki Sonoko.

From a common sense perspective, Suzuki Sonoko is the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group, and Belmode is a senior cadre of a criminal organization, so it is understandable to target each other.

But that's just common sense.

The real purpose of an organization is not "money".

This is just a necessary nutrient to achieve the goal.

It only needs to be enough. If you go to great lengths to pursue the idea of ​​the Suzuki Consortium and cause unnecessary trouble, it would be better to let the cadres and members run to complete low-level tasks a few more times. The funds will come faster and easier.

If Belmode dared to say that she was staring at Suzuki Sonoko, then Sano would dare to suspect that she was deliberately diverting her gaze, thus putting the other three people in danger.

Therefore, Belmode can only be called "Sano".

Especially under the premise that Belmode does know some of Sano's special circumstances.

Even more so.

However, this played into Sano's hands.

After calmly flicking the ashes of his cigarette, Sano asked: "Is that a famous high school detective? Is he worth keeping an eye on? Do you want to recruit him?"

"Even if I really want to recruit him into the gang, I shouldn't be the one to do it."

Belmode smiled: "After all, your good boss has something to do with him."

Gin is related to my identity...?

Sano raised his eyebrows: "Just be more straightforward when you speak, I don't have much patience."

"It's useless if you're impatient. I can't reveal this matter casually. Maybe you should ask Gin. Whether he is willing to give you the answer is the key."

Belmode said so.

Sano nodded, without forcing Belmode to speak. He waved his hand and stood up to leave.

"rye."

Before leaving, Belmode suddenly stopped Sano: "My mission this time is quite special. It was given directly by the boss, and the confidentiality is extremely high. You should know what to say and what not to say, right?"

Sano smiled: "Are you using the boss to suppress me?"

"Of course not, it's just a kind reminder from seniors."

After sending Sano away, Belmod let out a sigh of relief... He didn't know if he could fool him. If not, what should he do?

Headache, headache.

…

"well."

On the Porsche 356A, a sigh filled with sorrow.

Gin drove expressionlessly.

"Alas~"

"well……"

"well!"

Gin took a deep breath, braked and stopped the car on the side of the road, and looked at Sano, who was in the passenger seat.

"Okay, don't sigh, just tell me if you have something to say."

Sano blinked: "I met Belmode."

"Oh, yeah, so."

"She seemed to be very interested in me. To be honest, at first I suspected that she was greedy for my body, and I was thinking about how to refuse. But it turned out that it was not the case. She said that I should come and ask you directly. It’s relatively straightforward.”

Sano got straight to the point, while Gin fell into silence.

"What do you want to know."

"Then it depends on what you will say, Gin-sama."

Gin gave Sano a deep look, as if telling him that what he wanted to know was not a casual matter and required caution.

Seeing this, Sano also restrained his lazy attitude and looked serious, which was equivalent to telling Gin that he was ready to accept it.

"Maybe I should tell you something."

Gin lit a cigarette: "Your father was also a member of the organization, and he was a code member, or what you call a senior cadre, the leader of the action team, which is where I sit now."

……ha?

Sano was stunned. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still surprised after learning this.

The original family environment was simple yet complex.

The simplicity is as simple as there is no family, and the complexity is as complicated as this family.

According to Sano's original investigation, various details about his father are strange. It always feels like there is something inside, and it doesn't look like an ordinary existence.

Sano had suspected the possibility of a deeper connection with the original family, but he did not expect it to be related to the organization.

...Although Sano came up with this idea after coming into contact with Belmode, even since he could be connected to Gin, he couldn't be an ordinary member.

But Sano was still a little surprised by the fact that he was the leader of the action team.

Gin added: "His code name is Rye. Akai Shuichi inherited this code name, and now it has been inherited by you."

……ha? ?

Sano was shocked again. Has his codename been passed on twice?

Then he is not a second-generation rye, but a third-generation rye?

This is going round and round, a bit mysterious.

"Then you are familiar with him?"

Faced with Sano's suddenly gossipy inquiry, Gin calmly replied: "It's not very familiar, it's just equivalent to the relationship between the two of us now."

Similar to the two of you?

Is gin a direct subordinate of generation rye.

Or to put it more harshly, Gin was brought up by his original father who took care of him?

Sano touched his chin: "Isn't that already very familiar?"

Gin raised his eyebrows, but did not deny it. Sano continued to ask: "Then Gin-sama, when you recruited me in the first place, could it be because of this incident? Or, if we hadn't met at the beginning, then I Will I still be recruited?"

"Generally speaking, it's the right thing to do."

Gin threw away the cigarette butt: "As descendants of organization members, especially those who are not at the grassroots level, they should basically be trained from childhood for future development. However, your father had a relatively high status back then and he did not want to involve you. Come in, naturally no one will force him."

"Even if he left later, the organization's investigation results showed that you were not aware of the organization's affairs, and...you also had psychological problems. No matter what aspect, the organization felt that you were not suitable to join the organization."

Sano nodded thoughtfully.

"To put it bluntly, it's just me who came in based on my ability?"

...Does this still need to be said?

Gin was a little speechless, but Fan randomly dragged over a member of the organization who knew about the existence of Rye and told him that Rye came in through the back door through connections.

Just wait and see if he believes it.

"Who in the organization knows about this?"
