Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Sano walked to the window: "Leave this place."

To tell you about the whole thing that happened tonight...

It's actually a little bit complicated.

First, they determined Gin's method of making a scene, and then they determined his second objective in targeting the Twin Towers.

Thus, Sano saved Sonoko Suzuki's life.

But saving the lives of the other people in the building afterward is not so simple.

Gin said he wanted to cut off all possibilities, and even blew up the connection between the Twin Towers.

Sano knew almost immediately that there must be other bombs hidden inside the building.

Logically speaking, in the immediate event of an accident, there are two ways for people inside the building to escape: one is the VIP elevator, and the other is the connecting area.

But in reality there is a third one.

Lateral movement has been eliminated, and the VIP elevator that moves vertically has also been eliminated, as confirmed by Sano. However, vertical movement is not limited to downward movement.

It can go even higher.

Rooftop, helicopter.

This is something you can figure out if you think about it a little deeper.

Therefore, Sano didn't waste time searching layer by layer... it was too late anyway.

Instead, they came directly here to wait.

And because they were already wearing explosive gloves.

Sano also sensed a large number of bombs here—there was definitely no time to defuse them.

We need to find another way to solve this.

Of course, there's another crucial point: the mission to save these kids... and that old man's life, exceeded the time limit set by the bomb's timer.

In other words.

The dangers of this mission are not solely due to the bombs.

Gin's second objective is Ai Haibara, if she escapes the building.

Gin or someone else recognized that Ai Haibara was a shrunken version of Shiho Miyano.

Then the fake loli's life will undoubtedly be threatened again.

In summary, Sano has two main tasks: first, to prevent these guys from being blown up.

Second, preserve Ai Haibara's identity.

Therefore, Sano activated the second measure he had originally prepared in order to protect Sonoko Suzuki's life, in case Gin insisted on taking action.

This method is now working.

……

On the rooftop of a building several hundred meters away from the Twin Towers.

Dozens of cocoon-like objects were each suspended in the air by a thread, with only one head showing.

The night wind howled, making Gin's silver hair dance wildly in the wind, making it even more disheveled.

It's still Gin's heart.

"Big, big brother!!"

Chapter 443, 442, Conan: Let's take off!

Vodka, arriving late, lay down on the edge of the rooftop and called out to Gin.

"Pull me up!"

Gin was filled with anger, due to being upside down and at such a height.

This caused Gin's face to turn bright red.

His breathing was rapid and labored, making Gin's eyes almost spit fire.

Damn it, you bastard!

How dare that guy?!

After being pulled up by vodka, he struggled to remove the spider silk covering his body.

Gin's eyes were still bloodshot.

It must be admitted that Gin was careless.

From the very beginning, Gin's trap was already seen through.

They were even turned around and unknowingly set into another trap.

Most importantly, it's that set of... well, should I say the new equipment?

The tough, highly maneuverable threads instantly restricted most of the movement capabilities of Gin's combat personnel.

However, the opponent is not subject to this restriction and can even use this thing to perform even more ghostly operations, taking advantage of the height difference between the silk thread and the environment.

They employed a faster and more flexible style of play than before.

At the time, Gin's side was said to have fallen into a trap, but in his view...

This can no longer be called a net at all.

It felt like entering a spider's nest.

They were completely manipulated and suffered a crushing defeat.

But what truly enraged Gin was the consequences of his defeat.

That means there are no consequences.

They were neither killed nor forcibly arrested.

Instead, it was tied up like a rice dumpling and hung upside down on the rooftop.

It was as if Gin's henchman, Vodka, arrived first to rescue him, or perhaps the police noticed the situation and came over to arrest him first.

For the other party, there is no difference.

Gin couldn't help but ask about the meaning of that question.

But the answer he received distorted Gin's features.

"Are you kidding me? What's the point of ending so early?"

The man's eyes were glowing red.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Gin could still tell clearly that beneath that mask...

It must be a smiling face full of mockery and contempt.

“Prey that falls into my net has absolutely no chance of escaping. Anyway, there are other prey. Compared to directly swallowing you, who is dispensable, isn’t it more interesting to drag you out and play with you when I’m in a bad mood?”

...As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed, but not humiliated.

Since his debut, Gin has suffered losses and lost face, but to suffer such a huge loss and be subjected to such humiliating treatment is unprecedented.

This is truly the first time.

This nearly drove Gin to madness.

"Now that you're here, who's going to keep an eye on things over there?"

Upon hearing Gin's words, Vodka's lips twitched—if he had arrived any later, a gun might already be pointed at his head. And now, after being pulled in, he's accusing him of not thinking things through enough, of being ungrateful?

"Don't worry, brother. The rooftop over there is already on fire. The helicopter can't get down, and the bomb is about to explode. As long as Shirley is still inside, unless she has wings, she definitely won't be able to escape."

Vodka patted his chest confidently.

But the next second, Vodka's walkie-talkie rang.

"Sir, it seems someone has escaped from the Twin Towers. According to the police... it appears everyone inside the Twin Towers has been evacuated!"

"What!?"

Vodka was immediately taken aback.

Gin snatched the walkie-talkie: "Does anyone know who was evacuated?"

"All I heard was that there was a man named Shinichiro Sano inside, and it seemed that he was the one who rescued the others!"

Upon hearing this, he had originally planned to see how things went and call Sano to secretly investigate whether Shiho Miyano had managed to escape, or to find that heinous criminal and kill or capture Gin.

He and Vodka both fell into a daze.

Sano has been staying there the whole time. Wasn't he supposed to leave immediately?

How did this guy manage to escape in that situation?

And they even brought the rest of the people out with them?

Gin snapped out of his daze, frowned, tossed the walkie-talkie back to Vodka, and got up to go downstairs.

"Go find rye."

……

A few minutes ago.

There are four minutes left before the bomb's timer goes off.

The only solution Conan could come up with was rejected by Sano.

But then Sano said he was leaving, and it seemed like he was going to take several people with him.

"...How do we leave?"

Conan didn't think Sano was joking and frowned as he asked.

"It's very simple."

Sano straightened the sleeves of his suit and kicked the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, shattering it.
