Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Conan was a little surprised that Sano focused on this: "After all, I just want to forcefully involve him. If you want to comply with everything, it should be impossible."

"Then just let it be like this."

Sano said indifferently.

...If it were normal times, Sano might still wonder whether it was the existence of the woodpecker or Conan's statement that was far-fetched.

But it's different now.

Because Sano has been able to confirm that the twenty-four generals are not just five people.

Even others are Sano's targets.

[Please kill all designated Woodpecker Guild members within the mission time limit. Upon completion, you will receive one hundred strengthening points. The remaining time of the mission is - 23:59:59].

In addition to the two Takeda-gumi members who are currently nearby, and the missing Yamato Kansuke, there are thirteen other people... although this is still hard to count. As for whether these three people are members of the Woodpecker Guild, It's not clear whether those missing "famous generals" didn't exist in the first place, or whether they disappeared later or something else.

At the same time, this is Sano.

To be precise, it is the content of the transaction between Kurosawa Blade and Kuroda Bei.

The other members of the Woodpecker Guild will be handled by Sano.

As for remuneration... Haha, Sano said that he found the reference price requested by his colleagues.

Which peer?

Um……

Sano felt that Kuroda Biewei probably knew what he was doing.

The only thing that makes Sano a little puzzled may be why these three people are not targets - although according to his judgment, Yamato Gansuke should not be a woodpecker, but are the other two just misunderstandings?

...Consider the word "designated" in the task content.

Sano felt that apart from the thirteen positions, there should be other members.

Maybe it's because the others are destined to die?

Anyway, Sano arranged Kurosawa Blade to go deal with these people.

As for this one.

[Please help Kuroda Biewei find the real murderer within the mission time limit. If you complete it, you will get one hundred strengthening points. The remaining time of the mission is - 11:59:59].

...twelve hours.

It seems that the murderer is almost exposed.

Even though I don’t have much clue, if something really happened during this trip to Qiu Shan.

So Sano felt that the remaining member of the Takeda Group was definitely not around for long. He only needed to keep an eye on that person, and he would be able to catch the murderer sooner or later.

Not a big problem.

With this idea in mind, the two cars quickly arrived at the so-called Wife and Daughter Mountain, went all the way deep, and finally stopped next to a small wooden house.

"...According to the intelligence, the wanted robber we failed to catch this morning is probably hiding here. Is Akiyama here to arrest him?"

The remaining member of the Takeda Group speculated.

But no one paid any attention to it... We've already arrived at the place and we can't make any guesses without taking a look at it?

Zhufu Gaoming pushed open the door and entered.

Then at a glance, the messy traces of life inside seemed a bit like someone who had fled here to hide, but other than that there was no one around.

Whether it's the so-called wanted robber or the policeman named Akiyama.

"Will it be in the warehouse at the back?"

...I don't know whether it was inevitable or accidental, but there was a large warehouse behind this small wooden house. Sano followed it and took a look. It was filled with wood, stacked intricately, which was very suitable for hiding people.

But with so many people here, the investigation should be quick.

But before Kuroda Biewei could give the order, the cry for help from outside the warehouse attracted everyone's attention again, and they followed the source of the sound.

Everyone saw Officer Akiyama on the edge of the cliff, with a rope tied to the rear end of the car wrapped around his neck, his face full of fear and panic.

"Help me, help me!"

Before several police cars passed by, the car suddenly started.

He rushed down the cliff with Qiu Shan, and at the last moment before falling.

Akiyama called out "my mobile phone" again.

Naturally, no one would pay attention to this at the first time. They all came to the edge of the cliff and looked around. The falling car had exploded. The fire caused everyone to lose sight for a short time, but it also succeeded in making people immediately lock on two points.

A head, and a headless corpse.

The fire light dissipated quickly, and Sano squinted his eyes because it was too dark.

Plus the obstruction of plants below.

Even with Sano's eyesight, he couldn't see the details clearly.

But just when Sano was about to retract his gaze, a strange feeling came to his heart. He didn't know if it was an illusion or the automatic completion function of the human brain. He always felt that his vision seemed to be getting clearer.

"……Let's go back."

Kuroda Bingwei turned around immediately.

Yui Uehara was stunned: "At least recover the body of Officer Akiyama?"

"It's so late at night, and it's just rained. Who can give it back, and who can take it back?"

Kuroda Biewei blocked Uehara Yui's mouth with a rhetorical question.

But then Zhu Fu Gaoming brought up what Qiu Shan said earlier.

So everyone turned back and found Qiu Shan's cell phone that had fallen on the ground.

I found a text message on it, asking Akiyama to come over, signed Yamato Gansuke.

This seemed to make Kuroda Hei directly believe that the murderer was Yamato Gansuke.

But Conan glanced at Sano and found that there was no movement from him, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to defend Yamato, saying that although the text message was indeed signed, the number was not the real owner at all.

Framed.

However, after competing with Conan.

However, Kuroda Hei was too lazy to talk nonsense, and simply brought out his trump card: "In fact, the forensics department just sent me a text message, and Yamato Kansuke's fingerprints were found on the rope around Kano's neck. .”

"But that's because Agan him..."

"Don't mention it. The place where the fingerprints were found was at the lower end of the rope. If Yamato placed the body, the fingerprints would only be on the upper end of the rope, unless it was his hand that moved it."

Yui Uehara couldn't finish her defense before Kuroda Bei blocked her.

"Yamato can't be found now, but he is the most suspected. It can even be said that there is irrefutable evidence. I think it is necessary to arrest him as a murderer."

After settling the ending with one blow, Kuroda Biewei withdrew.

"By the way, Uehara, come and take our car. There is a spare tire in the back seat of the car. Counting that little devil, it might be a bit crowded for four people."

……Um?

Sano came back to his senses, his thoughts stagnant.

Zhufu Gaoming does have a spare tire in the back row, according to his words.

It's because I keep getting flat tires recently, so I keep an extra one just in case.

Sano didn't pay much attention at that time.

Because Zhufu Gaoming was too little involved, it didn't seem like anything would be arranged in advance.

But Kuroda Bingwei mentioned it like this now.

It seems a little deliberate. Could it be that...

Sano calmly followed the team back. During this period, Conan asked Morofushi Gaoming what the rope around Shirano's neck looked like when he was hung.

Sano didn't listen at all.

Because Sano had already noticed the abnormality in the rope from the beginning.

It's just that the thing is winding and winding, which is really troublesome.

Sano was too lazy to think about it, so he just regarded this as being manipulated.

The wave of Kuroda Bingwei just now was confirmed.

But that's it, no matter what else, Sano already knows who the murderer is.

But at present, there seems to be no empirical evidence, and we have to stick to the current situation.

There happens to be fishing bait too.

Just wait patiently.

Sano closed his eyes to rest, after all, the Kurosawa blade at the other end still needed his control.

And wait until you get back to the police station.

Conan was immediately scolded by Mao Lilan, and finally said that it was too late and that he had to leave early because he either had to work or go to school tomorrow. He said goodbye to Sano and planned to take the bus back to Tokyo overnight.

Sano naturally didn't care.

But when Conan saw that Sano was planning to stay, he shamelessly asked for leave.

After some entanglement.

In the end, Mao Lilan reluctantly left Conan to Sano.

Hmm...don't you even ask for your own opinion?

After watching Maori and his daughter leave, Sano looked down at Conan, who looked innocent next to him, and slapped him on the back of the head.

"If you dare to interfere with my work, you will be dead."

"Oh, got it."

Conan rubbed the back of his head and still followed Sano closely.

"By the way, Sano, your commission must have been arranged by Mr. Amuro, right?"

"no."

"……Why?"

When the guess was denied, Conan was stunned: "Where did that come from?"

"I said, customer privacy, little brats shouldn't pry into adults' affairs."

After returning to the corridor from the door.

Sano happened to see the last member of the Takeda group, and angrily approached Zhufu Gaoming, saying that someone reported it and saw Yamato dare to help.

So I wanted to borrow a car and take a look.

Morofushi Takaaki refused this request, but the reason was that this man drove too recklessly and he cared about his car... Sano was too lazy to complain and watched from the side. Finally, Kuroda Hei came out to give the order.

Only then did Zhu Fu Gaoming lend the car out with reluctance.

Then Sano followed him out of the police station, stopped a taxi and asked the driver to follow him. The fourth candidate for the death was driving Morofushi Takaaki's car.

"...Do you think this is the murderer's plan?"

Conan, who was also following the car, sat next to Sano and asked curiously: "Although I said before that the real target of the murderer probably included Officer Saegusa, but that also included Officer Yamato, and now the police have believed that Officer Yamato is the murderer, which means my reasoning is wrong. Even so, do you still think Officer Saegusa is in danger?"

...Why does this kid talk so much nonsense?

Sano was too lazy to talk to Conan.

But Conan was still very interested: "You think that Officer Yamato is not the murderer but was framed? Then the real murderer's purpose should have been achieved. In that case, why do you still think that Officer Saegusa is in danger? Even if this is the case, why do you think that now..."

"Well."

Conan's voice stopped suddenly.

Sano, who manually muted Conan, turned his head lightly, looked at the other person and asked, "Do you think I still don't know who the real murderer is and what his purpose is, so I feel I have won and want to provoke and ridicule me."

"..."

Conan's body froze when his thoughts were pointed out directly, and his eyes flickered.

"No, no..."

...It’s not that Conan looks down on Sano.

Although in terms of participation in the entire case, the two are not much different.

But in fact, Conan's advantages are too great.

The acquaintance who had met in other cases earlier, the discoverer of the earliest corpse, had enough time to think and learn more about the situation from other participants. It was the only Akiyama session in which the two participated together.

Even though Conan has revealed a lot of things overtly and covertly.

But let's not talk about whether that alone is enough. The key point is that Conan felt that Sano was distracted the whole time and didn't pay much attention to what he said.

At the same time, it is precisely because of this.

Conan will feel even more angry - making you disobedient, can't you understand?

……Wait a moment.

According to what Sano said just now.

"...You already know the truth?"

Conan asked in surprise.

But Sano still ignored him and just looked at the car in front of him.

In case the driver loses track of you.

Seeing this, Conan knew that he would not get the answer and could only wait to see it with his own eyes.

But judging from Conan's understanding of Sano and the current development.

That's probably true.

...It's really depressing. This guy must be a monster. He took a trip to Wife and Daughter Mountain.

Has the truth already emerged?

Amid Conan's displeasure, the two cars quickly returned to the cabin on Tsumabushi Mountain. After getting off the car some distance away, Sano did not immediately follow the policeman named Sanzhi. Instead, he looked towards Conan.

"You two are riding in a car. You have to give me the fare A later."

Conan: "..."

Are you crazy, saying such a thing at this moment?

And how can you be so embarrassed to ask for money from a child of your own?

Besides, Sano, has he forgotten that he is almost penniless now because of his previous tricks... Conan wanted to curse angrily, and then reason, he is a small child and is small in size. The ratio is small, so even if you really want money A, it should be a quarter.

...At least it has to be half price!

cough.

But considering the tense situation, Conan couldn't say much.

After reluctantly gritting his teeth and nodding in agreement, Sano continued to move forward towards the hut. As a result, before taking a few steps, he saw someone walking out of the hut again.

"Click!"

After loading the pistol, he walked around to Akiyama behind Zhufu Gaoming's car. He raised his hand and sent a few rounds of bullets into the trunk, making several holes.

Hmm...Zhufu's brilliant intuition was right.

No, to be precise, Zhufu Gaoming knew it would turn out like this all along.

That’s why you have “gut feeling”?

...It’s almost the same. Kurodabei will reimburse him anyway, right?

Just as Sano was distracted, Conan's expression had already changed wildly.

Qiu Shan walked out of the hut.

Let’s not talk about what’s wrong with Sanzhi. How can Yamato, who is hidden in the trunk, help?

...Damn it, I shouldn’t have delayed just now!

Conan was about to twist his foot strength-enhancing shoes and subdue Akiyama.

Then I saw Sano walking towards Akiyama again.

After reaching into his pocket, Sano pulled out a pure steel baseball bat.

They arrived behind Qiu Shan quietly all the way.

Hold the stick with both hands, take a stance, and swing with all your strength.

"boom!"

Akiyama, who was not aware of it at all, made a crisp sound when the back of his head collided with the bat.

"ah!!"

Akiyama let out a scream and fell to the ground.

"Home run!"

Sano took back the bat and put it on the ground, nodding with satisfaction.

Conan's face was numb... In fact, he had wanted to ask for a long time.

From the small hammer at the earliest, to the stick that was newly revealed in the bounty order some time ago, to the shovel last time and the bat this time, Conan was really curious about how Sano suddenly thought of changing weapons, and These three items at the back are still changed one at a time. Are you trying to choose new weapons? In addition, forget about the small hammer and swing stick in the front.

How did Sano carry such a special shovel and such a long bat? ?

The weapons master even gave him a fourth-dimensional pocket? ? ?

I wonder if Sano will take out some new weapon from his pocket next time.

……wrong.

Conan shook his head, now was not the time to think about this.

It's all this guy Sano's fault for giving him so much attention.
