Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Sano glanced at the taxi driver in the driver's seat, who was cautiously observing the two of them through the rearview mirror, and answered without any concealment.

……

The next day, news spread that the Black Reaper had blocked the Metropolitan Police Department's gate in the middle of the night.

Although most people are unaware of the reason and only a few know the inside story, there are still some who have made a rough guess based on just a few clues.

For example, Conan.

"So, that dog was actually raised by Blackie."

...If it were only about what happened yesterday, Conan certainly wouldn't be so certain.

The main reason is that after Conan learned about the Black Reaper blocking the door, he immediately used a voice changer to call Inspector Megure as Shinichi Kudo.

It was only after this that it was confirmed that the dog from yesterday had indeed been caught.

And after the Black Reaper members left, the dog was taken away again.

As for who took him away and where he was taken, Inspector Megure had no way of finding out.

But it doesn't matter, the answer is already obvious.

There's just no "ironclad evidence."

"I really don't know what this guy is thinking. Even if he wants to save the dog, there's absolutely no need to make such a big fuss. There are clearly many other ways to solve the problem. Isn't he just making himself look bad?"

Conan rubbed his temples, looking a bit of a headache, while Ai Haibara chuckled and said, "You're mistaken about that. The Black Reaper's reputation hasn't gotten worse at all; in fact, it's getting better and better."

"what?"

Conan tilted his head, puzzled, and said, "How is that possible? Even if someone does a lot of good deeds, it would be too detrimental to social stability to go against the authorities over such a small matter. The general public would definitely be dissatisfied... Oh right, the general public doesn't even know about dogs, which is even more absurd. It's completely unreasonable for the instability to exist!"

Chapter 387, 386: Amuro Tooru: I, An Hansan, am back!

"If the Black Reaper goes against the authorities, it's a very good excuse."

Ai Haibara's question surprised Conan.

"What do you mean?"

Ai Haibara pulled out today's newspaper and handed it to Conan: "Read it yourself."

Conan unfolded the newspaper, and a headline in large print immediately caught his eye.

"The government is strongly supporting Natoto Company in carrying out public welfare activities and building the Tokyo Stray Animal Rescue and Shelter Center. We welcome kind-hearted people from all walks of life to provide assistance."

"……what?"

……

A gentle breeze stirred, and under the sunlight, the blond hair seemed to grow even more yellow.

Sano, somewhat speechless, raised his hand and ruffled the blond-haired man's hair. After a long silence, he finally spoke up: "How about we try shaving your head bald?"

Yellow Hair: "..."

"For example, if the boss wants it this way, then I will absolutely obey!"

Looking at the blond-haired man standing upright with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, as if he were about to die a heroic death, Sano secretly rolled his eyes, but in the end, he didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

"Boss, the site here has been taken care of. Next, we need to get the staff in place and refine the work. As for funding, the authorities said they would provide as much assistance as possible, but if possible, we should also find other sources of funding ourselves."

The mistress approached Sano to report the situation.

"Ah."

Sano nodded and looked around. This place was originally an abandoned factory, but now it has been taken over by the government and allocated to Nadotong for use. Saving money is one aspect, but the main reason is that the site is indeed large enough.

With just a little renovation and installation, it can be used right away.

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is that the authorities bore most of the trouble, while Sano's side got all the benefits. Stray dogs in Tokyo will no longer be hunted down, so the mission is considered complete.

Even the "blocking the door" incident was given the guise of "doing a good deed," which not only avoided unnecessary trouble but also earned them a good reputation.

What? Sano's actions will only garner support from "dog lovers," while those who dislike stray dogs and are actively pursuing them won't buy it?

Then we need to be clear about this: I don't like stray dogs.

What's the difference between them and people who abuse dogs?

For the former, their reasons for wanting to "eradicate" the existence of stray dogs stem from their dislike of them and concerns about their potential dangers.

Sano's stray animal center directly solved this problem for them and achieved "results," so how could they not support it?

As for the latter, they might hold an opposing view because the fun is gone.

But how many people are in this group?

Even if the entire population of Tokyo were divided into these three categories, Sano still received two-thirds of the support, not to mention that the middle group was the majority.

In short, the matter has been resolved.

"The next priority is to take in stray dogs, as they are easier to catch and more likely to injure people, so they should be dealt with first, and then we can deal with stray cats."

Sano turned his gaze to Xiao Hei on the other side: "I'll make a tag for it later, so that when it runs around outside, people won't mistake it for a stray dog ​​anymore."

"Okay, boss."

...The Sano Stray Animal Center is named to take in stray animals from all over Tokyo, which is already a generally accepted fact. All pets that have owners will naturally have tags on them to prevent them from being caught without their knowledge.

For the general public who do not own pets, there is a big difference between animals with owners and those without. Firstly, domesticated animals are generally less aggressive than stray animals, and secondly, even if something unexpected happens, they are less likely to be aggressive.

That doesn't mean no one will take responsibility and they have to accept the loss.

To put it bluntly, all they want is a "guarantee".

Sano didn't intend to keep Kuro by his side or confine it after rescuing it. He wanted to see what else could happen to it.

"gone."

After taking care of everything, Sano waved and left, but Xiao Hei, who was lying on the ground behind him, still couldn't come to his senses. There was nothing he could do about it that night.

That was absolutely fucking thrilling!

First, the number of people arresting him suddenly increased significantly. In a panic, he was finally caught. Remembering his older brother's warning that "it is not allowed to hurt people without permission," he could only frantically request to connect with his older brother via voice chat.

Whether it's calling for help, requesting the lifting of the restrictions, or even just wanting some psychological comfort, Xiao Hei really wants to hear his older brother's voice.

...but I never heard anything about it.

Just when Xiao Hei thought he had been abandoned once again.

The Grim Reaper has arrived.

At that moment, the door to a wonderful new world was opened for Xiao Hei.

"Boss."

Xiao Hei knew what this word meant; it was similar to "big brother."

"Black Death".

Xiao Hei had heard of it too.

It has gathered five figures of delinquent youths from all over Tokyo, and has even taken over many other areas of the organization.

Of course, none of this originally had anything to do with Xiao Hei.

Because we can't access it.

But things are different now; his older brother is actually the boss of the Black Reaper.

He was followed by all the delinquents in Tokyo.

He is truly the king of the underground!

As his thoughts gradually returned, Xiao Hei got up, his eyes filled with burning fighting spirit.

Even after learning about Sano's identity as a villain, Kuro didn't think that he could rely on his master's power to stand at the top in the future. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: his big brother had already unified the Tokyo delinquent world, so as his little brother, he naturally couldn't be too lax.

Let's set a small goal first: unify the Tokyo streetwalker scene!

"...Then let's leave it at that for now."

After Sano left, Huang Mao chatted with Xiao San for a while before deciding to leave and go home. However, when he looked back, he found that the special attack uniform trench coat he had casually taken off and put aside was nowhere to be seen, leaving him with a face full of question marks.

"Holy crap, where are my clothes?!"

In a panic, the blond-haired man grabbed the mistress's hand to help him look for his lost clothes.

The mistress initially didn't want to deal with it and tried to persuade him with excuses like, "If you lose your clothes, just get a new one; you can get reimbursed anyway."

But the blond guy said it was different.

"That outfit has been with me since the very beginning of the Black Reaper organization. It has a lot of special sentimental value, you know?"

"If we lose it, even if we get another one exactly the same, it won't feel the same. Stop talking nonsense and help me find it!"

Urged on by Huang Mao, the mistress had no choice but to go along with the search.

And so... the two of them saw Little Black in an open space. He was wearing a yellow coat, holding his head high, looking very proud, as if he wanted to roar to the sky.

Hmm... so my clothes were stolen by the dog.

Unfortunately, he's the boss's dog, so he has nowhere to vent his anger.

Why would a dog steal my clothes for no reason? Damn, I didn't even notice.

How did he manage to put his coat on like that?

Stunned and speechless, Huang Mao and Xiao San exchanged a glance and cautiously approached Xiao Hei... After all, this thing seemed to have quite high combat power. Even if it was their boss's dog, it was still a dog after all. Even if it was to save people, it had still eaten people before, so the two couldn't help but be wary.

Especially after dealing with those unrecorded cases handled by the Armed Detective Agency, Huang Mao and Xiao San have extremely high standards when it comes to "caution".

"Um, this dress is mine, can I have it back?"

Huang Mao was worried that if he grabbed Xiao Hei directly, it would provoke an attack, so he tentatively asked a question as if to discuss it, which made Xiao San's eyes twitch.

Is this guy out of his mind? He actually tried to negotiate with a dog?

You should try to distract the dog with food, and then take the clothes away while you're at it.

"Humph!"

However, before Xiao San could speak, Xiao Hei snorted and turned its head away, exhaling two puffs of hot air from its nostrils... Yes, a dog snorted, although the syllables were somewhat indistinct, but at least it showed obvious disdain.
