Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Black Death is indeed very strong, but his strength lies only in his physical abilities, not his skills.

Kyogoku Makoto wanted to challenge a skilled opponent, because only in that way could he achieve the desired results... Sano didn't understand such profound things, so naturally he couldn't comprehend it, but he didn't intend to force the other party to stay.

Anyway, it's not like going abroad makes you no longer a delinquent.

Makoto Kyogoku has the potential to become stronger, and perhaps he can even raise the limit of his special attack suit along with it.

Besides, although Makoto Kyogoku is indeed very capable, he is still just a person after all. High-level workers are rare, but to say that someone is indispensable is an understatement.

That's unnecessary.

Especially for hardware workers who rely solely on combat capabilities.

If Kyogoku truly possessed special skills like Kaito Kuroba, and Sano had never encountered Kaito Kuroba, then it would be a completely different story.

all in all.

Sano is really looking forward to Kyogoku Makoto's performance.

……

"So, senior, you've already signed up for that tour group, and you've signed up for three at once?"

Sonoko Suzuki, who was registering her identity information at the hotel front desk, looked at Sano with some surprise.

Sano nodded expressionlessly.

In order not to arouse suspicion from Ran and the other girl, Conan shifted the blame to Sano on the way there, saying that his purpose in coming to Izu was not only to meet Makoto Kyogoku, but also to join the Izu Detective Club.

...This statement certainly has flaws.

"But if it's Sano, no matter how illogical something is, it will become reasonable, right?"

Sano couldn't help but twitch at the thought of the "reason" Conan and Ai Haibara whispered to each other.

But then, remembering how he had to take the blame to "compensate" himself, Conan tripled the original limit for "meal expenses."

Sano's lips immediately stopped twitching.

It can even be tilted upwards a little further.

"The Duke of Dark Night?"

Suddenly, the man sitting next to Sano, who was playing with a laptop, uttered a word that made Ran and the other three instinctively look over.

Only Sano didn't even turn his head; he merely glanced at the other person out of the corner of his eye.

Konno Shiro waited a full ten seconds but still didn't get a response from Sano. He couldn't help but twitch his eye and laugh, "So, you're not going to pay any attention to me?"

"Since you've already figured it out, why ask?"

Sano's indifferent reaction made Conan and the others blink.

Hmm... Sano seems a bit too aggressive today.

Could it be because Makoto Kyogoku went abroad?

"...Heh, I'm Shiro Konno, staying in room 2002. I hope we can get along well for the next three days and two nights."

Konno Shiro didn't take the barb in Sano's words to heart and pushed up his glasses as he spoke.

Konno Shiro was probably around thirty years old. He was wearing a suit, glasses, and had medium-length hair with a center parting, which made him look unusually gloomy.

...Well, actually it's just because this guy is too ugly.

Then, a man sitting on the sofa in the hall drinking mocked Shiro Konno, saying that it was too naive to think that he could find the Duke in this way.

The two had probably already met. Konno Shiro quickly recalled that the person who answered his question in just 2.86 seconds was Ebara, who lived in room 2101.

...What's wrong with this guy? Why is he tracking how fast other people answer questions?

Sano also glanced at Ehara.

The man was also around thirty years old, with medium-length hair... only it was slicked back. His distinguishing feature was a small mustache on his upper lip that inexplicably resembled Kogoro Mouri's, giving him a somewhat nonchalant look.

Then, for some reason, one person after another appeared in front of Sano as if they had made a pact, and Konno Shiro also acted like an NPC, introducing each person's identity one by one.

Jin Cheng, who lived in room 2001, was an old man in his seventies or eighties with long eyebrows and beard. He wore sunglasses and was accompanied by his... attendant, who was probably a butler or similar person. She was called Jing Jiang, a plump woman in her fifties or sixties.

2102, Kamijou, a woman in her twenties, dressed fashionably.

Sano secretly noted down the room numbers and names of these people, just in case.

Are there still two people missing from the show?

Could he already be dead?

Another thing that puzzled Sano was...

"What does 'Duke' mean? Isn't it a virus?"

Sano asked Conan, causing the latter to pause in surprise: "Didn't I tell you?"

Did you tell me?

The two stared at each other, finally realizing that they had forgotten to mention a certain setting.

Conan then explained that the organizer of this tour group would appear as a fictional character, namely, the Dark Duke.

He is a character created by Conan's father, Yusaku Kudo.

"By the way, the last time my dad came back to scare me, he was dressed as the Dark Duke."

Conan whispered to Sano.

"Oh, I see," Sano said, "I think I've heard that word somewhere before."

Coming to his senses, Sano heard Ran Mouri exclaim in surprise.

What are you doing?!

Turning her head, she saw Ran Mouri blushing and covering her buttocks, glaring angrily at the guy named Jiang Yuan.

She was clearly sexually harassed.

"What's wrong with touching my butt? You're just a little thin. Come over and help your uncle pour some wine."

Despite Ran Mouri's angry glare, Ebisu still wore a lewd smile, showing no fear whatsoever. Instead, he continued to grab her hand, causing Conan and Sonoko Suzuki to instantly become enraged. Conan even squatted down and twisted his ankle to increase his strength.

...I don't know if this is the first time Ran Mouri has encountered something like this, because she was stunned and didn't immediately fight back.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a furious shout rang out, and Jiang Yuan's hand was forcibly twisted behind his back.

Just as Maeda Satoshi was about to begin his act of justice, a dark shadow landed on Ehara's head even faster.

"what!!"

Amidst screams, Maeda Satoshi, startled, instinctively let go, and Ebihara immediately collapsed to the ground. Then, a large foot stepped directly on his right wrist, twisting it forcefully as if stepping on a filthy worm.

This caused Jiang Yuan's screams to ring out again, growing louder and louder.

"He touched you with this hand just now, didn't he?"

Chapter 346, 345: Try it and you'll die.

Sano twisted his toes and turned his head slightly to look at Ran Mouri and asked.

Ran Mouri instinctively replied, "Okay, it seems so..."

"Ah."

After receiving confirmation, Sano calmly nodded, then raised and brought down the hammer of justice that had just struck Ehara on the head.

"boom!"

After a muffled thud, Sano raised the hammer again without hesitation, and then swung it around in a blur, leaving everyone dazzled.

"what--!!!!"

Amidst the pig-like screams, Maeda Satoshi was finally jolted back to his senses and hurriedly tried to stop him.

Unfortunately, Sonoko Suzuki blocked her way the next second.

"Hey, don't worry, my senior is very skilled, nothing will go wrong. Besides, this kind of trash deserves to be taught a good lesson!"

Sonoko Suzuki's face still showed anger, but Satoshi Maeda did not quite agree with her statement... Sano's hammer blows were full of force, even accompanied by the sound of air being cut, and Ehara's screams were even more heart-wrenching.

Who the hell would believe that this guy is careful with his moves?

"what……!"

Just then, amid Jiang Yuan's screams, the low shrieks of others were also heard.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be a big deal. After all, not everyone knows that Sano's hammer technique is very special. It's only natural that he would be frightened by the scene before him and instinctively feel scared.

Back when Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri were unaware of Sano's special ability, they weren't as nonchalant as they are now... and even after they found out, it took them quite a while to adjust.

But why did Sonoko Suzuki feel like she could still hear Ran Mouri's voice amidst the screams?

Sensing something was wrong, Sonoko Suzuki turned around, only to be met with a sea of ​​crimson.

"……Why!??"

Sonoko Suzuki froze for a moment.

"Sir, senior, please stop!"

In the end, Ran Mouri and Conan, in a flustered state, managed to stop Sano.

It was already too late.

Jiang Yuan's right hand, from the wrist that Sano was stepping on, was completely smashed to pieces. Not only was the outer skin and flesh torn away, but even bone fragments flew out.

Without a doubt, this hand is ruined and will never be cured in this lifetime.

"Sano, you..."

Conan looked up at Sano blankly, never expecting that the person who always managed to beat someone up without leaving any real damage would have an accident this time.

...Or perhaps, this really was just an accident?

"Senior, aren't you going a bit too far?"

Ran Mouri's face was full of panic... She wasn't accusing Sano of doing something wrong.
