Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Sano answered truthfully: "Because the girls at school gave me too many, I can't eat them all. It would be a waste if I didn't eat them, so I can only trouble you to help share them. There are still a lot left to deal with. If you think it's not enough, you can go and get two more portions."

"So that's how it is..."

Vodka nodded in realization, while Gin withdrew his hand from the gun.

Since Sano didn't come specifically to mock me, there's no need to make trouble out of nothing... despite what the other party said.

It seems like they've been subtly mocked.

It's still the super invincible Thomas spiraling upwards to taunt you.

Judging from what Sano said, the bag of chocolates Gin is holding now is only "one serving," but there are at least a dozen or twenty chocolates inside, and he may even have at least three more servings of chocolates on his side.

This means that at least three digits of girls gave Sano chocolates.

This is just chocolate.

Girls who only send love letters are not included in the calculation.

...Is this guy really that popular?

"Oh right, I forgot there were other people too."

Sano clapped his hands: "Chianti and Cohen probably didn't get any chocolates either. I'll get them each one later."

...Although what Sano said was true, the codenamed members in the organization were basically...

No, it should be said that they are all indeed single.

But those words still made Gin feel a little uncomfortable.

It wasn't that Gin was unhappy that Sano shared the chocolate with everyone, nor was it because he felt "affected".

Rather, it was because this statement not only confirmed Gin's previous thoughts, but also made things even more terrifying.

Just how many chocolates did they receive?

Those who know him will think he's receiving gifts for Valentine's Day, but those who don't will think he's gone to buy supplies.

While Gin was speechless, Sano had already made a promise to bring the remaining chocolates when he went to collect the mission the next day.

Then he turned and left.

After watching Sano's figure disappear from sight, Gin rolled up the car window, took out a chocolate, tore open the wrapper, broke off a piece, and handed it to Vodka.

After a few minutes of no unusual symptoms appeared after Vodka ate the chocolate, Gin felt relieved and put the rest of the chocolate into his mouth.

Hmm, it tastes pretty good.

...Is he testing poison on himself?

Vodka looked away, somewhat speechless, but didn't say anything more.

Valentine's Day is a peak time for murders, mostly due to relationship conflicts, and poisoning chocolates is a common tactic... Although Sano shouldn't have poisoned the two of them, who knows, someone might have turned to hate because of unrequited love.

"By the way, brother, how was Rye's diagnosis yesterday?"

Bored, Vodka started looking for topics to talk about, while Gin paused in his chewing.

The words of the psychiatrist who was abducted yesterday seemed to echo in Gin's ears again.

"The first few guys are all fine, especially the ones after the first one. The others have entered a very numb state, and I can't make any detailed judgments about them. But at least I can be sure that they won't suddenly lose control."

"As for the last one, I looked at his previous diagnosis, and there's a serious problem..."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that his previous doctor was very unprofessional. Of course, this is relatively speaking. His judgment can't be said to be entirely wrong, but at least the focus was completely off."

To put it bluntly.

"...That guy is likely to have a split personality. Don't misunderstand, a split personality is not the same as schizophrenia. Although he does show signs of schizophrenia, the most serious and troublesome thing is that he has a split personality."

“At first he was unwilling to cooperate and refused to admit it. It was only after I tested him that I forced him to admit it.”

"According to him, his other personalities have disappeared, and now he only has one personality, so there is no problem. Of course, the truth is that one side's story is not credible, but he is also very difficult to deal with."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve much in the short term."

Chapter 389, Shuichi Akai: A Shuttle of Souvenirs?

"..."

Bringing his thoughts back, Gin's eyes were dark and unreadable, as if he were thinking about something.

Vodka, who was standing to the side, did not receive a reply, but he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Whether the outcome will be good or bad is unknown, but at least it is certain.

It's definitely not very good.

……

Meanwhile, Sano's wandering thoughts were also on yesterday's events.

It must be admitted that there's a reason why that doctor became famous.

That guy is definitely not on the same level as that...so-and-so.

Before meeting Sano, that guy had already made very thorough preparations. He didn't say anything else but asked about his past.

From childhood to adulthood, it seems like there are events every year... probably to determine where Sano's memories started to break.

That's right, Sano's "amnesia" has been confirmed.

This is a completely different concept from the previous "memory decline".

However, the previous "time perception disorder" was denied by this doctor... Sano originally wanted to blur this out by talking about his declining memory, but it was later denied, and even though it was denied now, it is meaningless.

In short, Sano's condition was diagnosed as "amnesia" in the doctor's eyes.

This was actually a good thing for Sano, because he no longer had to dwell on the original owner's past. However, the final result didn't seem to be so good.

Because Sano's diagnosis included an additional condition: dissociative identity disorder, which is the most cheesy and dramatic concept in movies and novels: multiple personality disorder.

In that doctor's eyes, this was the most reasonable judgment... Especially after seeing through Sano's "amnesia," he also discovered various details about the differences in the "two" in their behavior and personality.

Even the fact that Sano was previously unknown but later suddenly became a famous detective is seen by the doctor as a manifestation of multiple personality disorder.

Well, it was a very important diagnosis after all. Gin naturally didn't hide the relationship between Sano and Rye's two identities from the doctor; otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a detailed life story for reference.

In conclusion, Sano has now become, in the eyes of others, a second personality.

That's right, Sano is the second personality.

Because Sano has no past memories.

Therefore, it would naturally be considered that it was the personality that appeared later.

As for whether the first personality still exists, or whether the third or fourth personality exists, Sano has tried his best to control the situation.

You can tell by the doctor's reaction.

They probably don't really want to believe it.

"Multiple personality disorder."

Sano smacked his lips, feeling a mix of emotions.

To be honest, Sano could actually be considered the second personality of this body. However, his personality appeared out of nowhere and immediately erased the previous personality... Of course, it's unclear whether he was the one who caused the original body to disappear.

We still need to ask ourselves a question.

However, Sano truly left no room for maneuver, seizing complete control.

Aside from that, things like schizophrenia and so on, weren't much different from before, and Sano didn't have any resistance to them... because even he himself wasn't quite sure if he was sick or not, not to mention that this setting didn't actually cause him any major trouble, and sometimes it even brought him some small conveniences.

What's there to reject?

But then again...

If a person with multiple personality disorder commits a crime, how is it legally determined?

Should we treat it as a normal mental illness, or simply not sentence it at all?

Haha, if such a good thing really existed.

That would be interesting.

Sano directly states that he is the second personality, Black Death is the third personality, Rye is the fourth personality... and so on, one identity and one personality.

From then on, he could do whatever he wanted, completely and without restraint.

Now that you mention it, it sounds pretty cool... *cough* It's actually quite useful, just a bit too cheesy.

After amusing himself for a while, Sano snapped out of his thoughts, took out his phone, and glanced at the time.

A short while later, Ito Taka appeared in Sano's line of sight.

Behind Ito Taka were two puppets carrying bags.

...After the "showdown," Ito Taka could naturally act more boldly, even teaming up with Sano and bringing his puppets along.

It's quite convenient to do odd jobs or something.

As for why Sano teamed up with Ito Taka for this mission instead of simply handing it over to Ito Taka and becoming a hands-off manager, it wasn't because he wanted to build a relationship with him; it was just Gin's request.

Well, Ito Taka's previous missions were thoroughly investigated, and it was found that he had been passing the missions off to others. So, Gin naturally knew that Sano had passed the missions off to him first... although this point didn't attract much attention because of the former issue.

However, it could be said that it was completely ignored.

That's impossible.

So Gin "warned" Sano not to be too lazy, wandering around all day with nothing to do, and to take more time to mentor his subordinates, blah blah blah.

She's so nagging, like an old woman, it's so annoying.

"Let's go."

Without saying a word, Sano took a bag from the two puppets and headed to the mission objective... The bag contained weapons, well, two submachine guns plus some magazines already loaded with bullets.

Logically speaking, Sano shouldn't need this kind of thing.

With the assassin's dual pistols and the added boost from the Kamen Rider accessory, Sano could handle 99.9% of the situations. Carrying such guns would be a burden, regardless of the type of operation.

Sano had never used these things before.
