Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

If you want to avoid the rain, then you should. Why are you getting so close to people?

Brother, the ground is all wet. Instead of climbing to higher ground, are you planning to wash your feet?

Rena Mizunashi was startled by Sano's sudden action.

After looking down and finding it was just a cat, Rena Mizunashi relaxed a little and, regardless of whether Sano was a stray or a house cat, reached out and hugged him.

...Hmm, that's kind-hearted, so I'll add another point.

"Since it's raining, I think we should move the rest of the interview to the pavilion."

Tsuchimon Yasunari said this to Mizunashi Rena.

"it is good."

After Tumen Kanghui walked away, his fans immediately followed him.

In the surging crowd, one of Rena Mizunashi's shoes was knocked off.

When Rena Mizunashi turned around, Conan happened to be holding the shoe at the same time as her.

"..."

"Little brother, are you... following me?"

Faced with Rena Mizunashi's question, Conan chuckled dryly, "No, no..."

...This kid's acting is terrible.

Sano was somewhat speechless at the plague god's behavior.

Rena Mizunashi was clearly unwilling to believe Conan's words.

After removing the communicator Gin had given her from her ear, Rena Mizunashi put her hand on Conan's neck and repeated her question.

Conan's answer was still a denial.

But Conan's expression inexplicably became timid and hesitant.

...But there's nothing we can do about it.

Who made Rena Mizunashi's gesture look like she was ready to fight at the slightest provocation?

It looks like it would snap Conan's neck.

However, upon noticing Conan's unusual behavior, Rena Mizunashi breathed a sigh of relief, released her grip, stood up, and smiled, saying, "Thank you, thank you so much."

Ok?

Sano blinked.

Not right.

Something is very, very wrong.

He took off his headphones, didn't lay a hand on Conan, and even inexplicably thanked him.

...This guy, it turns out, is a rat.

Chapters 449 and 448: Do you have to be so considerate?

Before Sano could think it through, Rena Mizunashi turned around and grabbed another man, saying apologetically, "Excuse me, Director, I suddenly feel a little unwell. Could you find someone to replace me for the rest of the interview?"

"what?"

Sano's ears twitched, and he looked up at Rena Mizunashi in surprise.

Are they withdrawing so soon? Are they planning to abandon the first step and move on to the second?

Sano didn't think that Rena Mizunashi would act on her own.

This step must have been an instruction from Gin, who was in charge of overall command.

...After taking Sano away from Beika Park, Rena Mizunashi found a place indoors where she could avoid the rain and put Sano down.

"Sorry, little kitty, you can stay here. I have to go to work."

After patting Sano's head, Rena Mizunashi left in her high heels.

The chewing gum on the sole of the shoe was clearly visible from Sano's perspective.

Good opportunity! Gin retreats, and Conan's side will inevitably follow... Of course, they might also choose to wait for him to come to them. I can't control that, I'll strike first!

Sano was about to return to Tsuchimon Yasuharu's side.

A short figure blocked Sano's path.

Conan stared intently at the black cat in front of him. After a few seconds, he squatted down and tentatively asked, "You're Kurosawa's cat, right? Is Kurosawa nearby? Is he here for that organization? Can you understand me? Has Kurosawa planted a transmitter or even a bugging device on you? Do you have a way to contact him? If you can understand me, then you should take some action."

...Is this guy crazy?

Trying to communicate with a cat?!

"Is this Kurosawa's cat?"

Judy also came over, looking at Sano curiously: "But, can it understand what you're saying? Even with training, a cat's intelligence can't be that high... It doesn't look like it's been bugged. Kurosawa shouldn't be able to hear you when you talk to it, right?"

"Who knows?"

After several unsuccessful attempts to communicate with Sano, Conan sighed and stood up.

"A beast is just a beast after all."

Sano: "?"

"Meow!!!"

Conan then let out a scream.

After landing, Sano snorted coldly and quickly slipped away—no, he went to complete his mission.

Conan, with several bloody scratches on his face, stared blankly.

Judy, standing nearby, blinked, her expression odd: "It seems to have understood what you just said."

"Ha ha……"

Conan's lips twitched twice before he wiped his face.

"Alright, we can't waste any more time here. Gin and the others definitely won't give up on assassinating Tsuchimichi Yasuharu so easily. We need to catch up with them quickly..."

On the other end.

Sano has returned to Tsuchimon Yasutsuki's side.

However, this led Sano to unexpectedly discover a point that he had not noticed before.

Damn it, no wonder Gin looked so hesitant.

It turns out it wasn't just because of caution.

Looking up, I saw two cars packed with people not far from the pavilion where Tumen Kanghui was. Judging from their appearance, they were probably all soldiers who had undergone rigorous and intense training.

At such a short distance, if we can't kill Tumen Kanghui in one blow, we'll just waste time.

So the final result is predictable.

Not to mention that as a high-ranking official, if Tumen Kanghui hadn't died on the spot, he would have received the most professional first aid and been sent to the hospital as quickly as possible.

He would die on the spot.

Once you've succeeded, you must withdraw, and you must withdraw before you get bogged down.

Given Sano Kuroneko's abilities, he has a high probability of success, but there's still a small chance he might fail.

Caution is the best policy.

Sano quickly abandoned his original plan and instead came up with another one.

That means letting Gin's side make the first move to draw Sano's fire.

When the situation becomes chaotic, Sano will take advantage of the confusion and reap the rewards.

...Tsk, we couldn't let Gin make a move before, but now we have to do the opposite.

It's true what they say, fortunes really do change.

However, there are still subtle differences between the two.

In this assassination plan, Gin used a long-range sniper shot, aiming for a single, decisive kill from stillness to motion.

And in the second step.

Even without eavesdropping, Sano was certain that this wouldn't be the case.

Don't ask why.

If the second step could achieve such excellent results, Gin wouldn't need to make Rena Mizunashi risk exposure by getting involved.

Not to mention, considering Vermouth's ability to provide a safety net, and Tsuchimon Kanghui's schedule after the interview today, and other factors combined.

The methods and locations of Gin's assassinations.

It should be considered quite clear and straightforward.

Of course, conjecture is just conjecture, let alone a relatively vague one.

Sano continued to follow Tsuchimon Yasutaka.

Meanwhile, they continued to eavesdrop on Gin's situation.

……

Time quickly passed and it was almost evening again.

According to Erhei's report, Gin plans to make a move against Tsuchimon Yasutaka at 4:00 PM on the Toriya Bridge. As for the method of the move, it's unusual...

Simple and straightforward.

The general procedure is that Vermouth, disguised, rides a motorcycle and deliberately falls in front of Tsuchimon Kanghui's car, so that the other party, who has a righteous persona, will get off the motorcycle to check. Then, Mizunashi Rena, who is also riding a motorcycle, approaches from behind.

Fire directly.

If Rena Mizunashi fails to succeed, the sniper duo lying in ambush on both sides of the bridge will...

The process will be completed.
