Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

It was stolen.

That's right, they stole it, they didn't demolish it.

Even before entering the bank, Sano had already received a map indicating the presence of several bombs, foreshadowing an unexpected event today.

At that time, Sano did not act rashly.

But when he saw that the robbers had taken control of the hostages without even glancing at him, and then he was tasked with preventing the explosion.

Sano could only accept the bombs sent by his old buddies with tears in his eyes.

As for the others...

Since their eyes are covered anyway, they're not afraid of anyone getting in their way.

As for why it was taken away instead of dismantled,

It's not that Sano really coveted those bombs; he had tried to defuse them.

The purpose, however, was merely to investigate the power of the bomb.

The demolition didn't take long, which means the demolition force was really small.

It's equivalent to a few hand grenades; you can't even sell them for much money.

Of course, the demolition process wasn't particularly short, although Sano was never discovered.

However, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

It's simpler to just put it in your wallet, change its nature, and get it directly.

anyway.

Having removed all the duct tape from his body while stealing the bomb, Sano curiously craned his neck to look at Amuro Tooru's neck, which was covered by a scarf—like Akai Shuichi, this was also to conceal his human skin mask, or more accurately, the edge of his hood.

Or how about trying to tear it off directly?

Anyway, with his hands tied, even if he manages to break free, it will probably be too late.

Such behavior always feels a bit perverted and lewd.

After rubbing his fingers together, Sano suddenly heard a new noise.

...It was Judy, that foreign girl, who was knocked unconscious and carried back by two people.

There's a high chance they did something underhanded in the bathroom, and it backfired.

Sano pursed his lips speechlessly, watching the two men throw Judy on the ground and re-tie her up—the fat robber, on the other hand, had vanished without a trace.

Conan was not seen inside the bank.

Could they still be outside... no, in the bathroom?

Sano quickly identified the blind spot, which was also the most likely possibility according to his intuition.

Sure enough, not long after, one of the kidnappers suddenly received a phone call, then took off his clothes and said that the fat robber had woken up and asked him to go to the bathroom to help him up. Well, to help him up, not to help him up... cough cough.

all in all.

Sano didn't believe it was really the fat robber who had woken up.

It's highly likely that Conan stole the guy's phone, then used the voice changer to make calls, intending to lure the robbers away one by one, and finally rely on the tranquilizer dart and the soccer ball.

Taking care of one or two things in the toilet will greatly reduce the pressure.

However, what struck Sano as odd was that the robber removed his hood and clothes before going to the toilet.

Sano vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Until the robber disappeared without a trace, the other three robbers on this side did not notice anything amiss and continued with their own business.

Sano finally came to his senses.

This robber may not be very bright, but he's not completely brainless.

At least compared to robbing and leaving, where you're either chased or fight your way out.

These people chose a relatively simple path.

Unfortunately, it was used by a few people to take advantage of the chaos and create their own substitute bombs.

It's gone.

Chapters 492 and 495: The Bomb Maniac Releases Hostages and Surrenders!

This is why the whole situation has already been arranged.

Everything was ready except for the three robbers who were completely dumbfounded.

Damn it.

Where is Lao Tzu's east wind?

The three panicked and started searching the entire room for the bomb.

And at that very moment.

The Plague God, leading his Plague God Squad, walked out from the back passageway leading to the restroom with great confidence and composure, only to run into three robbers head-on. Both sides were simultaneously stunned.

"..."

Holy crap, this script is wrong!

Conan's eyes widened instantly. Just like Sano, he had also figured out the real plan behind the robbers through some clues.

Therefore, Conan believed that at this point in time, the robbers should have made all the necessary preparations and only needed to wait for the bomb to explode and the police to arrive.

They could then blend in with innocent passersby and escape.

Conan's appearance at this moment is not only safe, but also the best opportunity.

Used to prevent bombs from exploding, or rather.

To ensure the bomb explodes without affecting anyone.

And then... these guys are still standing here!?

Aren't you afraid of running out of time and being wiped out?!

In the deathly silence of the bank, Amuro Tooru had quietly cut the tape off his wrist and removed the tape from his eyes, looking at the scene before him.

He frowned.

Amuro Tooru intends to take action if necessary.

Let's not even talk about Amuro Tooru now being disguised as Akai Shuichi, even if he weren't.

As "participants," it's not surprising that they are forced to take countermeasures.

"Brother, it's too late! If we don't leave now, not only will we be caught in the crossfire, but we might also get blown up ourselves! That would be the real disaster!"

Fortunately, thanks to a robber's reminder, none of the three were in the mood to waste time with Conan and his kids... but they still managed to grab Ayumi along the way.

At the same time, a guy on the other side bumped into Sano and was stunned for a moment.

He then pulled Sano in front of him.

"Take these two hostages and fight your way out!"

"But brother, those two guys..."

"Ignore them. Everyone looks out for themselves. Let them fend for themselves!"

In just two or three seconds, the situation at the bank changed dramatically.

The closed roller shutter door opened automatically, and the three robbers, holding Sano and Ayumi hostage—one big and one small—rushed out to confront the Japanese police who were surrounding them.

Only inside the bank, among a group of innocent bystanders still bound and blindfolded, completely unaware of the changes in the situation and too afraid to move, were Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta, the three remaining kids, and Amuro Tooru, the only one who had freed himself from his restraints.

He was stunned for a moment.

...Conan's instinctive reaction at that moment was to shoot a tranquilizer dart to save Ayumi.

Then he could use the power-enhancing shoes to take down the second, the third... But when he saw the third one, Sano's appearance stunned him.

That's rye.

Conan is certain.

And standing next to him is... Shuichi Akai??

What the heck is this?!

Amuro Tooru was also stunned, because he hadn't expected those robbers.

How could they possibly be so foolish as to court death?

...How is this any different from a little devil trying to scam the King of Hell?

Well, at least it saves me the trouble of doing it myself. I can only offer my praise.

remarkably brave!

As for the two kids besides the two of them, they were simply frightened.

outside.

The gang leader pointed a gun at Sano's head and yelled at the police, "Get the hell back, or I'll shoot!"

This sudden development quickly put a group of police officers on high alert.

The one leading the group was Inspector Megure.

Inspector Megure, his face grim, was about to speak when he sensed something was wrong. He blinked, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the person carefully.

Inspector Megure chose to snatch the binoculars from his subordinate next to him.

Ok……

After a two-second pause, Inspector Megure, who had even overlooked Ayumi in the hands of the other robber, picked up the megaphone with a strange look in his eyes and shouted.

"Bomb maniac, what tricks are you playing? Release the hostages and surrender!"

"..."

The robbers stared at each other in bewilderment.
