Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

And in the end, just as Akai Shuichi thought, he successfully found the person.

It was further confirmed later... Although the "angel" aspect still made Shuichi Akai feel very surprised.

After touching his chin and thinking for a while.

Akai Shuichi took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Conan.

"Come over tomorrow and let's talk."

Then, before Shuichi Akai could receive Conan's reply, James' call came first: "...the latest information about the Black Cat, Akai."

"Um?"

Akai Shuichi raised his eyebrows in surprise, then thought of something again and said, "Did Yoshino join his team, or what?"

"No, it's a big piece of information."

James immediately rejected Akai Shuichi's guess and said in a very solemn tone: "The information was sent back from Spencer before it was sent to me."

"Spencer?"

Akai Shuichi's brows suddenly knitted together, and his waist straightened up while leaning on the back of the chair.

"Tell the important point."

"Spencer's men were attacked by black cats, probably to warn him not to attack Yoshino again... But the key point is that Spencer's men were deliberately spared their lives so that they could bring a message back. I felt that Black Cat, a little killer, shouldn’t have the guts to confront America’s official officials, so I asked the other party’s identity, and the result…”

"Don't be pretentious."

Akai Shuichi had already smelled something, and he immediately felt a little dissatisfied with James's halting speaking rhythm in order to exaggerate the atmosphere.

"The Black Organization."

As soon as these words came out, the air was instantly dead.

Akai Shuichi was silent for a while, and then he twitched his lips and said, "I think the black organization he was talking about is not the black organization, right?"

"Yeah, I think so."

James agreed.

Akai Shuichi rubbed his temples: "In other words, there is a second black organization, and it has not shown any trace so far. Its strength is unknown, its purpose is unknown, and its position is unknown..."

"...Did Black Cat say anything?"

"No, apart from what he should have done, he only revealed such a name... But to be honest, it feels a bit wrong. In order to make Spencer jealous, there seems to be no problem in moving out the backer behind him, but If this... black organization doesn't want to be known to too many people and just wants to act in secret, then it's obviously impossible to do this just for a newcomer like Yoshino to join the group."

Akai Shuichi frowned.

"In other words, there are three possibilities."

"The first is that this existence was invented by Black Cat... but the possibility is very small. The second is that this organization now feels that there is no need to act secretly anymore. The third is that there are other special purposes behind this action."

"Um."

James agreed: "To be honest, I think it would be good if it was just a bluff, but I am afraid of the last two, especially...the third possibility, which is really worrying. "

"What does it say above?"

"... After all, it is a scandal. The official naturally does not want to publicize it. They will probably quietly issue a statement to briefly summarize the whole story. As for Yoshino... he probably will not pursue it fiercely. At most, he will do something It’s just a show, otherwise our FBI wouldn’t have stopped dispatching. Of course, it would be best if we could detect relevant information.”

"In short, it's just adapting to circumstances, right?"

Akai Shuichi showed a slightly sarcastic smile.

...No matter what kind of organization it is, high-level "decision-making" tends to be biased towards ambiguous things and specific details most of the time.

It’s all up to you to consider below.

This way.

Done right, it is “wise leadership” from the top.

If you do something wrong...haha, then the employees will have to take the blame themselves.

Because of this, if you encounter some middle-level people who are unwilling to take the blame.

One size fits all has become the norm.

"……I see."

After coming back to his senses, Akai Shuichi hung up the phone.

Then, the time came to the next day.

Akai Shuichi and Conan came to the door of Sano's house together.

"Is something wrong?"

When he opened the door, he found two people standing outside the door, the older one and the younger one.

Sano suddenly had Todoroki's thoughts.

"I accidentally made a little too much for lunch, but it wasn't too much. It seemed a bit awkward to give it to someone else, so I thought it would be just right if I brought it to you."

"oh?"

Sano looked at the lunch box in Shuichi Akai's hand with suspicion.

After thinking about it, Sano opened the lid directly, looked at the simple but beautiful combination inside, and took a sniff... Well, just in terms of color and fragrance.

Still pretty good.

"Thanks."

Sano closed the lid, took the lunch box and was about to close the door.

Akai Shuichi was immediately stunned, but Conan, who knew Sano's urinary nature, responded quickly.

One foot was inserted into the crack of the door.

"Wait a minute, we came all the way here to deliver food to you, and you didn't even invite us in. Isn't it too rude!"

Sano glanced at the cast on Conan's foot.

"...Tsk, this is going to be endless."

Conan: "..."

Akai Shuichi: "..."

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

"Okay, come in."

Sano finally let go of the door... He probably knew why these two people came to the door.

It's just a way of using food as a trade if something happens...

Could it be that Shuichi Akai and Ai Haihara follow the aesthetics of Miyano Akira?

After placing the lunch box on the table, Sano looked back at the two guys who were looking at the furnishings in his house curiously, and narrowed his eyes: "If you dare to rummage through my things, you two can buy a coffin in advance. ”

Conan and the two looked stiff.

...Who the hell would rummage through your things?

Conan curled his lips somewhat guiltily... After a series of exchanges with Akai Shuichi, he really wanted to explore Sano's internal information, so he came here, but this was not the first time he came to Sano's house.

What's more, he is not the only one living in Sano's house now... Even if he lives alone, how can he put something that is particularly important in the open? It must be hidden tightly.

But then again.

It's said to be a test, so how should we go about testing it?

Conan looked at Sano's back, and then at Shuichi Akai, who was thinking next to him... It was also because of his understanding of this person. If he could detect things, he was a ghost, so he didn't just ignore it. , just bite it to death, believe it or not, and also mess around with it.

...Heh, let’s give up.

Just when Shuichi Akai was about to speak, Conan took a deep breath.

"Sano, tell me about yesterday."

"Um?"

Sano and Akai Shuichi looked at Conan at the same time.

"What happened yesterday?"

"What else could it be? You should have seen the headlines about the Suzuki Tower being bombed."

As he spoke, Conan picked up the newspaper spread out beside him.

There was still some residual warmth from Sano's palm on it.

"I saw it, so that's why."

Seeing Sano's dull reaction, Conan pushed up his glasses: "Yesterday I asked you for help, why didn't you go there...or did you actually call someone..."

"Do you need me to say the same thing a second time?"

Sano raised his eyebrows and interrupted, making Conan choke... At least he was allowed to finish his sentence.

"It's a tower fried in rye."

Conan thought for a moment and changed his introduction.

Sano had already started eating his bento, and after a while he responded: "Who is that?"

Conan: "..."

Sure enough, it started again... After scratching his head a little irritably, Conan said with a black face: "I said, forget about other things, this guy is the one I mentioned to you, you don't have to pretend to be stupid with me. Does it make any sense!?"

"Yeah."

Sano bit his chopsticks and said confusedly: "I have no impression...but there is nothing I can do about it, my memory is getting worse and worse."

Um?

Conan was stunned, looking at Sano's face, he was suddenly startled.

"...I said, Sano, is your illness getting worse again...or is it a side effect of the medicine that is causing the memory loss?"

Faced with Conan's nervous and worried questions, Sano couldn't help but smile.

"You can believe this, it's really..."

Conan was stunned again, his face suddenly turning blue and red.

It also made Shuichi Akai next to him touch his nose unconsciously.

...Fortunately, Conan got there first, otherwise it would have been him who started it.

I'm afraid I won't have high blood pressure due to anger.

"Don't make such a joke casually!"

Conan gritted his teeth to prevent himself from yelling: "It's easy to scare people!"

"If you have some brains, you'll know something is wrong, okay."

Sano continued to eat.

"Although my memory is relatively poor, I can still remember things of this level... Otherwise, at least when I see you two, my first reaction should be to ask who you are. .”

Conan and Akai Shuichi reacted to Sano's words... Did this guy mean that the weight of the two of them in his heart was on the same level as Rye... Why did he suddenly feel so chilled?

Conan, in particular, hesitated to speak.

Brother, we are teammates, can you not put yourself together with the enemy?

...Of course, the teammates and enemies here can only be said to be temporary and explicit.

Conan shook off unnecessary thoughts and took up the topic again: "Then did you know that the eyes of Rye and Black Cat, who appeared together last night, gleamed?"

"What kind of light are you taking?"

"It's just red light, scarlet, as if it's not human."

Sano raised his eyebrows and glanced at Conan's feet again.

"Are you sure it was your foot that fell and not your head?"

Conan's mouth twitched...you just broke your head!

Sano ate the food calmly... Who the hell told this kid to say that he was not human?

Sano can be a human being, but others can't say it. This is a matter of dignity!

"The setting of the red eyes is real, I saw it too."

Akai Shuichi spoke at the right time: "And other people, such as Black Cat, Black Death, Black Mask, even left material that glowed red in public, these can be found in relevant reports. Actual evidence."

"……so what?"

"So we think we have reason to suspect that these people are actually a group."

Conan finally showed his fangs and stared directly at Sano: "Including your detective agency boss, Amuro Toru's employees, Black Fox, also have such a setting... and his subordinates are also the same. .”

"Um."

Sano nodded: "But the positions of these people are opposite."

"Not always."

Conan said with a complicated expression: "Because last night, Xiaolan was rescued by Rye."

"So you think he's a good guy again?"

"No."

Conan took another breath and said solemnly: "Perhaps, he did not do those bad things voluntarily, and the overall situation was the most important thing... But these are still not allowed from a legal perspective, at least to me It will absolutely not be recognized, including Black Death, but in comparison, the difference between the two is quite big..."

"oh."

Sano finally finished his meal and lit a cigarette: "So what do you want to say?"

...Isn’t it obvious after all this talk?

Conan scratched his head crazily, but after all, he still didn't want to make the scene too ugly.

"Sano, I don't know how deep your relationship with Kurosawai and Hei Shi is, let alone whether you are involved with the other three guys, but what I know is that I trust you very much, even if you really Those who are from that organization are definitely the best ones. They are all on my side in terms of love and law... So what I just said is not to force you to do anything, but to Remind you, if you really don’t know this aspect, then you must be careful.”

"...If you believe in people's words too much, you may suffer a loss."

Shuichi Akai gave a summary for Conan.

Sano glanced at Conan... It seemed that it would be better to give these words to him.

never mind.

"First... I have said it many times and I don't want to say it anymore. Second, judging from the situation you explained... there are too few clues."

Sano, who had nothing to do, was not in a hurry to end the topic, and brushed the two of them off, saying: "Just because these guys are jealous, I decided that they were a group. There was no evidence, and there was no witness at all. How about playing?"

"Isn't this enough?"

Conan may have felt that Sano was trying to defend his "friend"... In the final analysis, it was because of too much trust, so he said quickly.

"It is naturally impossible for human eyes to emit light on their own. This must be some kind of technological product. It is similar to my glasses. It can automatically lock, magnify the screen, and even perform thermal imaging and read maps... But with me, The difference is that such a device can be shrunk to the point where it can be placed in the eye, and there is no abnormality at all when not in use. It is definitely the only one in the world."

...You have quite a big brain?

Before Sano could speak, Conan continued: "Furthermore, haven't you noticed that these guys are very similar just by their names...or nicknames? Black Death, Black Fox, Black Cat, Black Mask, all of them are It starts with black characters, just like some iconic flag, and you can tell at a glance that they are definitely from the same group!”

...Has it finally been brought out?

It’s just that I’ve never mentioned it before.

Sano dug his toes in his slippers.

"But if they are really a group, they should be careful to avoid suspicion. How could you do this deliberately... Moreover, you seem to have misunderstood something."

"ah?"

Conan's face showed confusion.

Sano continued: "Black Death, the full name is Black Death. This nickname was given by the delinquent boy. It was not given by him at all. Especially... this nickname was inherited, not to mention."

"……inherit?"

Sano ignored Conan's words and said again.

"Black Mask is also a nickname given by the public after his many actions... As for Kurosawai's real name... I can't say it."

"Rye, the full name is Rye Whiskey. According to what you said, this is also a code name that his organization issued on its own after he was promoted to a cadre. Like the previous two, it was not decided by him..."

"As for the black cat and the black fox, I don't know much about them. There is too little relevant information... But as far as these are concerned, do you still stick to what you just said."

Conan was stunned by Sano's words and immediately fell silent.

"...Well, what about black clothes? This can be regarded as a piece of supporting evidence, right?"

Shuichi Akai said this.

But it made Sano feel confused.

"What black clothes?"

"...Ah, I haven't told you yet. Black Cat said last night that he is from a black organization... Of course, the black organization here is most likely not that black organization, but a new one... Again Of course, it may also be the old black organization. After all, there is too little relevant information. I don’t know which of the two black organizations is in front. Maybe the black organization is the younger one.”

Conan chirped a lot.

Sano was even more confused... What the hell is the black organization?

When did you say this word last night?

To briefly describe Sano's mental activity at the moment, that's probably it.

What kind of black clothes?

Black clothes?

What black clothes?

...My thoughts drifted back to last night. It was true that Sano had casually pulled a tiger skin with Spencer's men, but it was not a black organization at all, but a fabricated, brand-new existence. .

Black robed pickets.

Well, that's right, Sano chose to copy an organization name.

Otherwise, based on Sano's naming standards... it's really a bit low-key.

Originally there were quite a few other options, but Sano particularly liked it.

It's the Phantom Troupe.

But in the end I chose this one... because it felt like it would match better.

...And now the problem is.

Are the "Black Robe Pickets" and the "Black Organization" even remotely related? ?

Apart from the same word "black" at the beginning, what other connection is there between the two?

Could it be that the guy heard wrongly...but that must be how wrong he heard.

Is there such a big difference in talent? ?
