Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 437, page 436: Surprisingly, there were no surprises.

However, as most people know, so-called horoscope and personality type tests are just a bunch of pretentious and childish nonsense.

But driven by curiosity, they would still try it out.

Considering the reaction of the Detective Conan world and the Plague God, the core of Detective Conan, as well as the Detective Conan-inspired artifacts and equipment on this kid, these are also Detective Conan creations.

"...Then let's play a round."

If this machine.

It can indeed predict a person's appearance ten years from now with 100% accuracy.

No, absolutely not.

As long as there is about 70-80% similarity.

That's enough to pique the curiosity of 99% of people.

Under the encouragement of his two best friends, Kogoro Mouri reluctantly sat on the machine with Sano and became the fourth wave of test subjects.

The photo was ejected.

The result was as expected.

In the photo of Kogoro Mouri, he appears as a more颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of decadence, apathy, and apathy) middle-aged man, almost like an old man.

But Sano's side...

"Nothing has changed."

No one paid any attention to Kogoro Mouri's grumbling; they were all gathered around Sano.

The Sano in the photo looks exactly the same as he does now.

Even the position of each strand of hair remained unchanged.

"How could this be?"

Sano ignored their questions and frowned slightly. If it was a malfunction, then the other people's photos shouldn't be normal.

Furthermore, before Sano, Professor Agasa's photos were in a similar situation.

However, the main reason for that situation was probably that Professor Agasa was in the middle of his old age, neither too old nor too young, for about ten years.

That might not be enough to make Professor Agasa get even older.

The others were different.

Ten years from now, those kids will be in high school.

Ten years from now, the two best friends will be transitioning from teenagers to young adults.

Even Kogoro Mouri will be approaching the early stages of old age ten years from now.

Sano and her two best friends are the same age.

This shouldn't be happening, but it's not a malfunction.

So this thing thinks that Sano's face won't change at all in ten years?

...I don't quite understand.

Sano tilted his head, not thinking much of it.

Seeing this, others are even less likely to dwell on this point.

Then, the fake child duo were also forced into the machine.

Oh right, I almost forgot, there are two more here that can test the accuracy of this machine, to see just how much perfect material it has.

Sano watched with great interest as the two fake children panicked.

Both of them looked about ten years younger.

If the face predicted by this thing ten years from now is exactly the same as Shinichi Kudo and Shiho Miyano, that would be really interesting.

Under Sano's watchful gaze, the machine started up.

Then it exploded.

...Of course it wasn't a real explosion, it just paralyzed the system.

The photos of the two were not released.

Hara Yoshiaki was questioning his life choices, while Conan breathed a sigh of relief, marveling at his good luck.

Ai Haibara chuckled lightly and said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe it's because the two of us ten years from now are no longer in this world, which is why there are no photos."

"You rascal..."

Conan responded with deadpan eyes.

After playing with the machines, Sano and his group were then taken to meet Kogoro Mouri's junior.

This woman's name is Tokiwa Mio.

It's similar to the photo of Sonoko Suzuki.

In addition, Tokiwa Mio introduced several other people to Mouri Kogoro.

A middle-aged, balding man, drunk and seemingly a member of parliament.

An old man who paints and is an artist, and also Tokiwa Mio's teacher.

A designer in his thirties who was in charge of designing the twin towers.

It's worth mentioning that this designer was actually a student of Teiji Moriya.

...So many new characters suddenly appeared.

It's as if it's setting the stage for the murderer, the victim, the suspect, and all the other characters.

Surprisingly, nothing unexpected happened at the meeting.

The matter ended very peacefully.

...To be precise, it's more accurate to say that we've entered a temporary halftime break.

Judging from the condition of these people, an accident is most likely to happen.

It's just a matter of time.

As Ayumi and Mitsuhiko approached Ran Mouri one after the other, they whispered to each other about something.

Sano's attention, however, drifted to the two staff members who had just come up in the elevator.

The two were chatting idly, but the topic of their conversation was...

Porsche 356A.

……Um??

Gin is in this area?

Conan reacted quickly and immediately took the elevator downstairs.

Sano then moved closer to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down; it was indeed Gin's car.

Thinking back to yesterday's team-building cocktail party, Gin suddenly asked Vodka to leave first.

Ok……

Sano rubbed his fingers together.

By the time Conan came downstairs, Gin had already started the car and driven away.

Amidst muttered curses, Sano and his group left the Twin Towers.

The next day.

As expected, the unexpected still happened.

That congressman is dead.

Just last night.

Because I met with the deceased yesterday.

Sano and the others were all summoned to the Metropolitan Police Department by Inspector Megure and given brief statements.

The gist of the matter is this: the congressman stayed in a hotel room in Block B of the Petronas Twin Towers last night. When he was found dead, there was a small wine glass broken in two next to his body.

It's unclear whether it was a death message left by the deceased or some special mark left by the murderer.

Besides Sano, the suspects also include those other named guys from yesterday.

The secretary, the engineer, the painter, and the disciple of Teiji Moriya, the designer of the Twin Towers, and finally, Mio Tokiwa herself.

There are five people in total.

None of the five had an alibi, and the prime suspect was Tokiwa Mio.

Because the person who stayed in the room above the deceased last night was Tokiwa Mio.

Seeing a group of people chattering and discussing for a long time without coming up with anything, Sano, feeling bored, yawned widely.

Inspector Megure's attention immediately shifted to Sano.

"Brother Sano, do you think you can glean any useful clues from the current situation?"

...At least he was a city councilor who died.

Inspector Megure is under a lot of pressure.

Unfortunately, Sano just shook his head.

Putting aside the current situation, based on Sano's experience, it would be almost impossible to max out the progress bar directly. Even if it were possible, he wouldn't want to get involved.

Although Sano's true identity seems to have not been involved in any cases for quite some time.

Before yesterday, Sano had indeed planned to intervene depending on the situation.

But things are different now.

Gin got involved too.

Sano thought it would be better to keep a low profile and observe the situation first.
