Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

If he can defeat Sano, perhaps he will keep his promise.

The problem is that neither Conan nor Shuichi Akai believes that even if Sano is quite capable, he could not possibly be better than this FBI ace.

However, for Shuichi Akai, winning the battle alone is not enough.

In order not to reveal his true identity, Shuichi Akai carefully protected his collar.

Secondly, you also need to protect your face.

Shuichi Akai is one thing, but doesn't Conan know Sano?

Even if Sano hadn't mentioned the collar issue earlier, let alone that Sano did.

Conan still thinks so too.

This guy is probably going to aim every move at people's faces.

Even if Shuichi Akai is incredibly skilled, he might still inevitably suffer a setback.

Shuichi Akai doesn't seem to know Sano's strength either.

To prevent Shuichi Akai from making a careless mistake, Conan quickly spoke up again.

"Hahaha, it's already noon! I'm starving! Sano-nii, Professor Agasa, you must be hungry too. Let's have lunch! Okiya-nii, you're new here, why don't you treat everyone to a good meal?"

A delaying tactic.

If they can just delay the timeline, Conan can then take the opportunity to intervene.

The problem will naturally pass.

The premise is that Sano is willing to let Conan drag things out.

Akai Shuichi looked at Sano.

Sano thought for a moment, then withdrew his hammer and lay down on the sofa next to him: "Anything is fine with me?"

Shuichi Akai smiled and said, "Either way is fine."

Upon seeing this, Ai Haibara's eyes widened immediately.

Hey!

You think you can be bought off with just one meal?!

Although the fake little girl didn't know the whole story, that didn't stop her from perceiving the key turning point in the matter through Conan's subtle hints.

However, before Ai Haibara could speak, Conan pulled her aside.

The villa next door definitely belongs to Conan's family.

Ai Haibara is not as unreasonable and argumentative as Sano.

Therefore, Conan solved it very easily... at least it wasn't difficult compared to Sano.

Now it remains to be seen whether Sano will continue to pester them after finishing this meal.

If Sano chooses to skip this matter.

That would be a win-win situation, something to be happy about.

But if Sano continues to persist, then Conan will have to deal with him separately.

"Ding dong!"

"Hello, we deliver everywhere."

In no time, Sano's takeout arrived.

But this voice... it sounds kind of familiar?

After sitting up from the sofa, Sano went to open the door and what he saw was what he saw.

It was a blond guy carrying a bunch of food and drinks in both hands.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing Sano, the blond-haired man was taken aback. After realizing what was happening, he instinctively followed the rider's rules and said, "Hello, your meal has been delivered. Enjoy your meal..."

"...What, you've cleaned house so much that you don't even have enough delivery guys?"

Sano took the pile of food and drinks and asked with some curiosity.

According to what Sano knew, even after that day...

Many people, whether passively or actively, withdrew from the Black Reaper.

At most, that's only one or two out of ten. Not to mention the riders from All-Tong, who aren't all members of the Black Reaper. There shouldn't be a shortage of riders, forcing even the second-in-command, Yellow Hair, to personally take to the field.

The blond-haired man blinked: "No, it's just about making money, what's so strange about that?"

Sano blinked, remembering how the blond guy had unintentionally moved next door to him.

"Are you short of money?"

"Who would complain about having too much money?"

The blond guy waved his hand: "If there's a follow-up call later, please give me a good review."

After saying that, Huang Mao got into his car and drove away.

Sano watched the blond-haired man's retreating figure, clicked his tongue thoughtfully, and then went back inside to eat.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content.

Shuichi Akai said he was going to check out the house next door.

Under Conan's cautious observation, Sano lit a cigarette: "Let's go, I'll go with you."

Ok?

Does this mean I've agreed?

But why should I go with them?

Are you really worried and planning to observe further?

While pondering, Conan followed Sano and Shuichi Akai, and the three of them went to the next room together.

As soon as I entered the house...

Shuichi Akai hadn't even been able to speak yet.

A dark gun barrel was already pressed against Shuichi Akai's head.

Conan's eyes widened instantly, while Shuichi Akai's body stiffened.

What's going on?!

“Mr. Okiya, there were some things I didn’t say to that girl earlier. Rather than calling you a bad person, I think it’s more accurate to call you a perverted pedophile. I’m sorry, I’m not a good person either. For someone like you, evidence is unnecessary.”

...What kind of thing is this that's suddenly become a perverted pedophile?!

Shuichi Akai looked grave. He didn't know why Sano would misunderstand him like this, but he was certain that he had indeed been misunderstood.

We need to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible.

Otherwise, at this distance, even Shuichi Akai would only end up getting his head blown off.

Isn't this guy supposed to be a detective?

Why would someone carry a gun around with them? And their killing intent was pure, their handling skillful and practiced. It seemed like they wouldn't hesitate or waver at all when they started, as if this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this. They didn't seem like a good person at all... or rather, they didn't seem like a kind and virtuous person.

"wait for me……"

"I have no interest in your explanation. Goodbye."

Sano's eyes were cold, and without any further words, he pulled the trigger.

Shuichi Akai's pupils contracted, filled with astonishment.

Damn it, is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?

I just want to be able to say even one word!

Am I really going to die here, without knowing why?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Shuichi Akai's mind.

But this ultimately cannot change the fact that Shuichi Akai is powerless to reverse the situation.

"Zi!"

Watching the water flow from Shuichi Akai's face, gathering and dripping down his chin.

Conan, standing nearby, was practically bursting with speechlessness.

Make sense.

In the first second, Conan was indeed surprised by this sudden development.

But that was just an instinctive reaction.

In the second, he saw the gun in Sano's hand, a gun that was extremely familiar.

Conan already knew in his heart how things would develop next.

...How many times has this happened already?

The last time Conan wasn't present was with Heiji Hattori, the time before that with Ai Haibara, the time before that with Conan himself, and his parents—this is the fourth time already.

Isn't it too greasy?

Conan pursed his lips, feeling somewhat bored and helpless, and then went to find a place to sit down.

Shuichi Akai was startled by the cold water running down his face.

After realizing what had happened...

Shuichi Akai tilted his head, looking puzzled, and made a question mark.

What does this mean?

Sano put away the water gun, shrugged, and said, "It was just a greeting. Thank you for lunch. It was delicious. I hope there will be more next time. Well then, goodbye."

Watching Sano close the door and leave.

Shuichi Akai, having recovered from the shock of being tricked,
