Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Sano's head turned over that almost rusty memory.

Sano usually wears the passerby hat on his rye vest. Besides its low-profile stealth and ambush function, it also gives him a passerby face effect.

This was quite novel at first, but over time...

Sano had almost forgotten that this thing existed.

I suddenly remembered it, but then I couldn't recall that this thing is a symbol for rye.

So, is Conan now seeing himself as rye?

After a moment of hesitation, Sano turned and left.

Seeing this, Conan snapped back to reality and was about to call out to stop the other person, but was pulled back by Ai Haibara beside him: "Are you crazy? Putting aside who this guy is, if he really is a member of the organization, you're not going to care about the two of them?!"

Conan paused for a moment, then turned to look at the two best friends who were already talking to the little girl.

Damn.

When I gritted my teeth and turned back, the figure had already disappeared into the crowd of kindergarten children.

Why on earth is this guy here...?

Are you sure that guy is him?

Ai Haibara asked with some suspicion, "Why don't I sense any trace of the organization on him?"

"Ok?"

Conan withdrew his gaze and sighed thoughtfully.

"Alright, we've bought the items, let's go."

Sonoko Suzuki picked up the tattered gloves and walked out, chuckling, "I didn't expect that little girl to be so sensible; she actually gave me a 20% discount."

"% off?"

Conan asked instinctively, "How much did Sano set the price for?"

"fifty thousand."

Sonoko Suzuki answered truthfully, causing Conan and Ai Haibara to both nod in agreement.

How the hell do you have the nerve to do this?

...In the crowd, Sano watched Conan and the others leave, then returned to the restroom, changed his clothes, took off his passerby hat, and went back to his stall.

"Oh, sir, the gloves have already been sold, but I gave that lady a 20% discount!"

Seeing Sano return, the little girl, holding several ten-thousand-yuan bills, grinned and immediately shouted excitedly, while the aunties next to her stared wide-eyed.

It was as if I had seen a ghost.

It actually sold?

And at this price and at this speed?

Is this some kind of cheat code?!

Sano rubbed the little girl's head: "That's good. Go give the money to your teacher. I'll head back now. Remember what you promised, a big meal."

"it is good!"

Then Sano left the kindergarten, intending to go home.

However, they ran into Conan's group of four, who had left earlier, halfway through their journey.

Four men stood around a police car, talking to the policewoman inside.

Just as Sano was wondering whether he should go up and say hello, since he had just unknowingly incurred a favor, the mission came along.

[Please help Takagi Wataru find out the truth within the mission time limit and keep the appointment in time. You will receive 100 enhancement points upon completion. Mission time remaining: 04:59:59]

Wataru Takagi?

Sano tapped his toes, then turned and called Takagi Wataru.

"Hey, where are you?"

"Sano?"

Takagi Wataru, who was on the other end of the phone, was visibly surprised when he received Sano's call.

"Did you need something from me?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me where you are, stop beating around the bush."

Sano couldn't help but grimac when he thought of Takagi Wataru's procrastination in the last case.

In response, Takagi Wataru could only provide the location.

After hanging up the phone, Sano glanced at Conan and the other three on the other end, hailed a taxi, and headed to Takagi Wataru's location.

A moment later, Sano arrived at the location, but then called Takagi Wataru again.

No one answered.

Where the hell is everyone?

Sano looked around and couldn't help but purse his lips again.

"Big Black".

Sano turned his head and glanced at the big black bird on the rooftop not far away. The bird immediately spread its wings and took flight, using its height advantage to search for Takagi Wataru's figure from the air... See, even a bird is more reliable than that kid.

After lighting a cigarette, Sano waited patiently.

A few moments later, Sano stubbed out his cigarette and went to the next street, where he saw Takagi Wataru standing with a chubby policeman, looking very conflicted.

"What are you doing."

Sano kicked Takagi Wataru in the butt: "You didn't answer my calls."

"Hey?"

Takagi Wataru rubbed his buttocks, then patted his pockets before laughing sheepishly, "Sorry, sorry, I was on the phone with Yumi just now, and I think I just casually tossed my phone into the car... Anyway."

"Is there something urgent that you need to see me about?"

In response to Takagi Wataru's question, Sano replied evasively, "Have you run into a case?"

"Oh, right."

Takagi Wataru had no intention of hiding anything and immediately explained the situation to Sano.

Shortly after receiving Sano's call, Takagi Wataru encountered a robbery. After a chase, he cornered the perpetrator in a nearby park restroom.

However, they blocked three people.

Two of them were just innocent passersby who went in to use the restroom.

However, Wataru Takagi couldn't determine which two were passersby and which one was the despicable robber who had robbed the supermarket.

Left with no other option, Takagi Wataru first took the three suspects back to his car, and then searched around for eyewitnesses in an attempt to find useful clues.

In total, Takagi Wataru obtained valid testimonies from three eyewitnesses.

Although these three testimonies conflict with each other.

"Because the robbers wore helmets and coats, and even communicated with written notes during the robbery, we had no way of determining their specific characteristics."

“A female student in a shop said the robber was a tall man around 1.8 meters tall, because he was noticeably half a head taller than passersby, and the clothes under his coat were green. A shop owner with a sign at the entrance said the robber was about 1.7 meters tall, and the clothes under his coat were black. An elderly man who was knocked down by the robber as he fled said the robber was a woman, and the clothes under his coat were blue…”

With a headache, Takagi Wataru explained the situation to Sano, point by point, according to the testimony in his notebook.

"How about you come with me to check on the three suspects, Sano?"

"can."

Sano followed Takagi Wataru to the car, where the three suspects were called out.

Two men and one woman.

The three individuals are approximately 1.8 meters, 1.7 meters, and 1.6 meters tall, respectively.

The 1.8-meter-tall man wore a blue sweater, the 1.7-meter-tall man wore a green sweater, and the 1.6-meter-tall woman wore a black top.

Indeed, it completely contradicts the testimonies of the three eyewitnesses.

Sano rubbed his fingers together.

In this situation, there are generally only two possibilities.

The first group consisted of three eyewitnesses, each of whom witnessed different robbers.

Therefore, they don't match.

However, that's a bit unrealistic. Let's start with something more realistic.

If the robbers themselves are not at fault, then the problem must lie with the eyewitnesses.

Sano did not suspect that the three eyewitnesses were lying.

However, sometimes, people's eyes can deceive them.

Did the three eyewitnesses see the robbers at the same time and place?

When asked by Sano, Wataru Takagi immediately shook his head.

Just as Takagi Wataru was about to explain the situation, Sano interrupted him again: "Then take me to see it in person."

"……it is good."

"Dudu-"

Just then, Takagi Wataru's cell phone, which he had left in the car, rang, and he answered the call.

"Hey Yumi, I'm not... Kudo-kun?"

Hearing Takagi Wataru's somewhat surprised voice, Sano raised an eyebrow and looked over.

It's not surprising that Conan would get involved in the case.

But before the person even showed up, the phone rang, which was quite unexpected for Sano. What puzzled him even more was that the other party used the identity of Shinichi Kudo... Speaking of which, has Takagi been infected by Inspector Megure?

Why are you starting to call me "brother" all the time?

Of course, considering their actual ages, there's nothing wrong with Takagi Wataru calling Kudo Shinichi his younger brother.
