Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

The two exchanged blows with agile movements, their simple and clean transitions between attack and defense leaving Vodka and Shiho Miyano, who were watching from the sidelines, somewhat dazzled.

It was just like watching a movie.

In this stalemate, in less than a minute, Sano and Gin had fought their way across almost the entire rooftop before returning to their starting position.

Then Sano Jun... kicked Vodka, who was stunned, and delivered a roundhouse kick to his head, knocking him to the ground.

Consider it interest for Vodka and Gin tattling on him back then.

...The reason Sano didn't use the Knight Kick directly was because he considered his colleague relationship with Vodka.

Sano didn't even glance at Vodka and continued fighting Gin.

However, this ultimately gave Gin an opportunity.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gin kicked Sano. Although the kick was blocked, the force of the kick finally created some distance between them.

"biubiubiu!"

Gin fired three bullets almost instantly.

Sano tried to dodge, but after focusing his attention, he realized that he couldn't dodge at all.

The three bullets were fired at different angles, and from his current position, no matter how Sano tries to dodge, he is destined to be hit by the other bullets.

...I can only say that he truly lives up to his name, Gin.

Of course, the root cause is that the body can't keep up.

If Sano had been a little faster, it wouldn't have been entirely impossible for him to avoid it.

Sano stopped moving, letting two bullets hit his body, while another grazed his neck.

Amidst the sparks flying, both bullets that struck Sano were deflected.

Bulletproof vest!?

Gin's eye twitched; he hadn't expected his opponent to have such a trump card.

"Ha, I've disappointed you."

Sano scoffed and was about to rush towards Gin when, unexpectedly, the other man pulled out a high-explosive bomb.

bulletproof?

So what? If you're so capable, try standing up to a bomb!

Gin used one hand to pull the ring with his fingers, and then threw the bomb in his hand at Sano.

Chapter 234, page 233: The beautiful woman with the black top hat and long silver hair!

Holy crap, you cheated?!

Sano didn't consider his numerous cheat codes at all. After cursing Gin in his heart, he kicked the pistol that Vodka had dropped on the ground.

It collided with the bomb thrown by Gin.

not good!

Gin's pupils contracted, and he quickly lunged to the side.

The same goes for Sano.

"boom!!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, a burst of flame shot into the sky.

Sano rolled twice on the ground, then lost all interest in continuing to entangle with Gin. He grabbed Shiho Miyano, who had been watching the whole thing with a lewd grin, and jumped off the rooftop.

Although the police who had gathered at Beika Hotel had been temporarily lured away by Sano, the recent explosion might cause them to turn back halfway.

Although Sano wanted to continue playing with Gin, he decided against it this time.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"See you next time, Gin."

Hearing the "farewell" voice that was clearly no longer on the rooftop, Gin kicked Vodka, who was groggily getting up, in the buttocks, his face dark: "Get out of here."

"oh oh!"

"Ai, Ai, what's going on over there? I heard an explosion!?"

In the alley, Shiho Miyano, who had been carelessly thrown to the ground by Sano, rubbed her backside, sweating profusely, and looked at the strange man in front of her with lingering shock.

Is this what they mean by "high skill breeds daring"?

Jumping directly from such a height, even a slight mishap would result in at least a broken bone.

"I'm fine."

Although Shiho Miyano's body was cold, her mind was getting hotter and hotter, like an overloaded computer mainframe, making her somewhat delirious.

"You're welcome. Just be more careful in the future. Bye-bye."

Sano naturally didn't intend to waste his breath on Shiho Miyano, so he waved his hand and prepared to leave.

Shiho Miyano, of course, wanted to call out to this strange man.

After all, although Shiho Miyano didn't know whether this person's appearance tonight was a coincidence or something else, she was certain that both of them had a common enemy, Gin.

We can definitely cooperate.

Unfortunately, firstly, Shiho Miyano didn't have the power to make the other party stop, and secondly, the other party wasn't willing to listen to her.

So in the end, Shiho Miyano could only watch helplessly as Sano left.

Oh right, I almost forgot there was something important to do.

Although we've been temporarily taken away from the danger zone by that strange man, we're still not far from the Beika Hotel, and the danger hasn't completely disappeared. We need to leave as soon as possible.

Shiho Miyano snapped out of her daze and continued to contact Professor Agasa while moving: "Professor, where is Kudo right now?"

"Shinichi was looking for the wine cellar where you are, but because of the explosion just now, he went straight there."

"Idiot, I'm no longer over there. Gin, on the other hand, has been provoked. His vigilance and killing intent are at their peak. If we accidentally run into him, even if we do nothing, he might still be killed. Tell him to come back quickly!"

"Oh...okay!"

Just as Shiho Miyano was about to take control of the situation, her legs suddenly gave way and she collapsed to her knees. The burning pain, similar to when she had grown larger, struck her again.

……

On the street, Sano was waiting for a taxi.

A yellow Volkswagen Beetle slowly pulled up beside them. After the window rolled down, Conan poked his head out, his big eyes sparkling as he looked at Sano.

...It just so happens that we ran into each other.

Dr. Agasa, in the driver's seat, chuckled and nodded to Sano.

This was only the second time that Professor Agasa and Sano had met, but the feeling he had after their first meeting was not pleasant at all.

...It wasn't that Professor Agasa found Sano's constant questioning annoying; he should have been happy that someone was interested in his invention.

The problem is that Sano's thinking is too damn unique, and his perspective is too damn unconventional.

Professor Agasa couldn't bear the look of disappointment and speechlessness on the face of the person who received his answer.

It felt like I had been looked down upon countless times.

...Under Professor Agasa's inexplicably melancholic expression, Sano opened the car door and hitched a ride, his gaze sweeping over Ai Haibara, who was wrapped in a coat in the back seat.

Because her body has grown larger, Ai Haibara's original clothes are naturally no longer wearable, so she pulls out this outfit that looks like a plumber's work uniform from somewhere.

"Hey, what's going on here? Playing the 'captive girl running away for her life' trick again?"

Upon hearing Sano's voice, Ai Haibara, whose head was still spinning, twitched at the corner of her mouth and unconsciously recalled some unpleasant memories.

"Kudo, you'd better explain the situation to him first."

Conan nodded and explained to Sano that the culprit he had identified was actually a member of the organization with a codename.

"It's a pity that the guy was silenced on the way after being taken away by the police... and it was still the same method of exploding from the back of the neck."

Conan said, with a mixture of gritted teeth and lingering fear.

The former was naturally because an important clue was lost, while the latter was because this method of silencing witnesses made Conan and Ai Haibara think of the existence of rye.

Throughout the entire process, both of them believed that the only members of the organization who had appeared at the Beika Hotel were Gin, Vodka, and Pisco.

I never expected that rye would be there too...

Rye didn't make a clear appearance tonight, I really don't know whether to say it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Sano glanced at the two fake children with complicated expressions, but said nothing.

...It was naturally Sano who silenced Pisco. While he was still observing the situation at the Beika Hotel, he had already taken the time to put on explosive gloves and handle the matter.

This achievement was destined to be taken by Sano from the very beginning.

Gin said he couldn't cause too much of a commotion before his arrival, so why not just delay the time and location until it wouldn't cause too much of a commotion?

By directly exposing the truth that Pisco is the murderer and having him taken away by the police, we can achieve our goal in two ways: firstly, it will prevent Gin from taking the credit for his work.

Sano could also take the opportunity to plant a bomb on Pisco, which would be incredibly efficient.

As Conan continued his rambling explanation, he assumed Sano didn't know, but in reality, he knew more about it than he did.

Sano suddenly felt a little sleepy.

Seeing Sano's seemingly indifferent attitude, Ai Haibara in the back row couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Originally, Ai Haibara did not want Sano to get any deeper involved with the organization, but she did not expect that he had already gotten himself deeply involved and even directly or indirectly caused the death of a codename member, which could very likely lead to him being targeted by the organization.

That's why Ai Haibara made Conan confront her directly, so that Sano would be on guard.

I didn't expect them to be so indifferent...

Before Ai Haibara could speak, Professor Agasa stepped on the brakes and waited because they encountered a red light at the intersection.

The next second, Ai Haibara's gaze swept across the rearview mirror, and her expression changed drastically. She grabbed Conan and pulled him down to lie face down.

"Hurry and squat down Kudo...!"

"what?"
