Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

In her daze, Sato Miwako caught a glimpse of Takagi Wataru, who also had tears in his eyes, and Conan, who looked somber beside him, and her eyes lit up again.

Since Takagi Wataru and those kids are here, it means the matter should have been resolved, and there should be no need to "avoid" it... Of course, it's also possible that they were caught, so there's no way to "avoid" it at all.

But Sato Miwako was more inclined to believe the former, so she raised her hand without hesitation and shouted, "Hey, Takagi!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Wataru Takagi instinctively turned around and was stunned to see Miwako Sato waving at him.

Takagi Wataru wasn't the only one whose attention was drawn by Sato Miwako's shout.

"Mimi Mimi Mimi Kazuko!?!"

Someone, trembling, shouted out, immediately drawing the attention of the police officers who hadn't noticed Sato Miwako's shout.

For a moment, Miwako Sato became the center of attention.

...Actually, Sato Miwako probably knew what had just happened.

After all, she's not blind.

The art museum where she had spent the night was destroyed. If Sano hadn't led the two of them to escape, they would probably be buried under the rubble by now... It's not even certain whether there would be a body. In addition, with the behavior of her colleagues, how could they not see that these people thought she was dead?

Therefore, at this moment, Sato Miwako only thought that after she appeared, her colleagues would quickly realize that there was a mistake and that it was just a misunderstanding, and then they would be very touched and come to greet her.

As a result... after a brief silence, the scene suddenly erupted in violent screams.

"Ghost!!!"

"Waaaaah, Miwako must have been so reluctant to leave us, she even came back to see us after she died, waaaaah..."

"Huh? You guys saw it too? I thought I was hallucinating because I was so sad..."

"Waaaaah, Miwa, although I really hate to part with you, you didn't have to come all the way up here to take me down with you..."

"Miwako! If you die, there's no point in my living. Take me with you!!"

"..."

Amidst the chaotic reactions, Sato Miwako's brain went blank.

Is this guy crazy?

A moment later.

Thanks to Miwako Sato's efforts, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the entire situation.

Sato Miwako understood that Takagi Wataru had completed the reinvestigation of the case, found the real culprit, and then encountered Inspector Megure and others who had mobilized a large number of police forces to search for the two people because they could not contact them.

Then Takagi Wataru heard that the museum would be demolished today by a bomb invented by Professor Agasa. Despite rushing as fast as he could, he still missed it.

And so it turned out like this.

...So, Sato Miwako is actually the Metropolitan Police Department's number one policewoman?

Sano looked at Sato Miwako with suspicion. Although this young woman was indeed good-looking, she was not above all the female police officers in the entire police system.

It shouldn't be that bad, right?

Is it because there are too few women in the police force?

Perhaps there's also the reason that this only applies to the Tokyo area?

However, Sano's doubts did not last long.

It's not that Sano figured out the answer.

Instead, it was because the police officers, after learning that Sato Miwako was not a ghost but a real living person, after a brief moment of excitement, immediately surrounded Sano, whom the other party called the "greatest contributor," and tossed him high into the air.

"Sano! Sano! Sano! Sano..."

Cheers erupted continuously.

Besides the police, Sano also saw Professor Agasa in a suit... This old inventor, who had been lying on the ground with tears streaming down his face and muttering "I am a murderer," was probably more grateful to Sano than anyone else at this moment.

"..."

Sano was tossed up and down expressionlessly, regretting that he had followed along out of curiosity. He should have just gone home.

Not far away, Ai Haibara leaned close to Conan, who looked pleased, and smiled, "I feel that, compared to you, Sano should now be called..."

"The savior of the Japanese police."

Chapter 331, 330, Respectfully submitted by Makoto Kyogoku

Hearing Ai Haibara's sarcastic remark, Conan's lips twitched involuntarily.

The phrase "savior of the Japanese police" first appeared in a news report about a case Conan had just solved when Conan was still Shinichi Kudo.

At that time, Conan... or rather, Shinichi Kudo, was full of vigor and ambition. While he wouldn't say he was dismissive of this assessment, he didn't see anything wrong with it either.

As for now...

After being thoroughly humiliated and crushed by Sano, Conan believed that it was practically impossible for him to catch up with Sano's level in a short period of time.

Especially given the current situation...

Yes, from any perspective, Sano's title of "savior" is truly well-deserved.

Conan nodded in agreement.

After the incident, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, and they all went home to their own mothers.

When Sano returned to his apartment building and received another lesson in racing from Amuro Tooru, he received a notification that the lesson was complete and he had graduated.

"I won't be coming tomorrow. You've learned enough and are ready to graduate."

Sano raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you say it would take at least a week?"

Who knew you'd learn so quickly?

Amuro Tooru shrugged and said... "But it's finally coming to an end. If it continued any longer, I don't know if my little heart could take it."

"alright."

Sano didn't seem to care too much.

Amuro Tooru's "tutoring" during practice has indeed decreased over the past two days. He only occasionally reminds Sano of things he did not do well enough.

As for Sano himself, he did get a little tired of the racing game after playing it for a few days. What would he do if he wanted to play it again in the future?

Should I buy a car and leave it at home?

It feels like I'm losing out...tsk, this car lesson seems a bit useless.

Sano watched Amuro Tooru drive away, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Oh well," he thought, "if I ever want to drive again, I'll just borrow the boss's car for fun."

"Aqiu!"

Amuro Tooru, who was driving, sneezed and had a bad feeling.

Could it be that he caught a cold from the wind because he didn't close the window when he was driving with Sano earlier?

Amuro Tooru shuddered, snapping out of his reverie and focusing on driving.

Meanwhile, when Sano returned home upstairs, he was surprised to find that he had received a letter.

Why would anyone send me a letter out of the blue?

Upon opening the envelope, a letter immediately slid out.

"Senior Sano, it's been a long time. I wonder how you are doing. Summer vacation is approaching, and I have returned to my hometown in Izu. Because the hotel is short-staffed, I hope you can come and help. If you have time, I will pay you 3,000 yen per hour."

"Respectfully yours, Kyogoku Makoto?"

After reading the short letter, Sano frowned in confusion.

Is Kyogoku Makoto a friend of the original owner of this body?

It seems like I'm not very close to the original owner, but it also doesn't seem like I only have a superficial understanding of others.

After rubbing the letter in his hand, Sano took out a map and checked the location of Izu.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang from Sonoko Suzuki the next second.

"...Shall we go to Izu together?"

"Yeah, it's three days and two nights. Ran and that brat Conan are going too. Senior, do you want to come along as well?"

Sano stroked his chin. He had just received an invitation to go to Izu, and now Sonoko Suzuki had followed suit. Kyogoku Makoto, could there be some connection between them?

After thinking for a while, Sano accepted Sonoko Suzuki's invitation.

"However, I might have other things to take care of in the future, so I might not be able to play with you guys then."

"Huh? Hmm... never mind, it doesn't matter. We can just go together. We'll meet at the tram station tomorrow morning, so don't be late!"

After hanging up the phone, Sano didn't have time to relax. He picked up a document and went out. After changing his disguise, he arrived at a deserted alley.

"Boss."

The mistress walked over from the other end, and Sano immediately handed her the document: "It contains information about some dangerous people. In the future, whenever there are requests related to these people, pay attention to them."

"Ok."

The mistress took out the document, looked at it, and nodded and left after confirming that there were no problems.

...Sano didn't want to repeat the blunder that happened when Ito Taka was looking for rye.

It's one thing to use your own pseudonym; not only will it not cause trouble, but you can also take the opportunity to swindle a lot of money, or even follow up with the other party. But other dangerous people, like Gin and Amuro Tooru, are a completely different story.

Therefore, Sano listed all the information about dangerous individuals in his memory so that the Armed Detective Agency could take note.

The main challenge is getting photos, though that's not a big deal. Just listing out the main features is just as good... After all, these people all have very distinct "styles" and are easy to recognize.

In addition, Sano also planned to take the opportunity to have the Armed Detective Agency's "People Finder Network" monitor these "dangerous individuals" and keep track of their situation in real time.

It's a pity that this people-finding website currently only covers Tokyo and Osaka... and the Osaka area is still developing and not perfect yet. Furthermore, it only includes the delivery areas of Natoto, and it doesn't work outside those areas.

Oh, by the way, while I'm in Izu, I'll take care of things there too.

Finally remembering that he still had a mission to dominate the whole country, Sano immediately sent another text message to Huang Mao, instructing him to arrange for the few remaining special forces members to take the rest of the team to Izu the next day, awaiting his further instructions.

"Okay, boss, are we going to take that place this time?"

After receiving a reply, Sano ignored the other party's nonsense and put his phone away.
