Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

It turns out that this event, which on the surface appears to be an act of heroism, is actually...

There is a major point of contention.

That was when the shop owner instructed his employees to press the alarm, causing the robbers to flee.

The robber left behind a strange remark: "This isn't what we agreed on."

No wonder the old man thought the boss was staging the whole thing.

The two sides quickly began a verbal battle.

Kogoro Mori, always eager for excitement, chimed in with his comments.

Only Conan frowned... This development feels so familiar.

"Hey, Conan... have you discovered something?"

Noticing Conan's unusual behavior, Hattori Heiji immediately decided to start a conversation.

"Ah...it's nothing."

Coming to his senses, a young passerby suddenly recognized Kogoro Mouri.

They looked on with surprise and asked for a photo and autograph.

This caused the other "suspects" present to look rather strange.

...Is the plan to go down the route where everyone is a villain?

"What a coincidence."

Another voice broke through the silence.

Turning my head, I saw a woman wearing a long green dress, a hat, and sunglasses.

Under the brim of the hat, his short, curly, brown hair stood out.

"You must be Miss Akechi, who made a reservation. This way, please."

The waiter had barely approached when the woman, referred to as Miss Akechi, waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry, please cancel my reservation."

"Hey?"

The waiter was completely dumbfounded.

Before leaving the dining car, the woman turned around and gave a mysterious smile.

"It looks like this trip is going to be very interesting."

...pretending.

Sano withdrew his gaze, counting the woman, the person Kogoro Mouri had bumped into earlier, plus the jewelry store owner, the young subordinate, and the old man.

Five characters?

Based on Sano's past experience, most of the time when Conan, this plague god, uses his powers, he will be looking for the culprit among three suspects. Only very rarely will there be more suspects, or there will be no suspects at all.

If this is a normal situation.

Does this mean two people are going to die this time?

The background and character settings have been introduced, and the situation has entered a brief buffer phase.

Sano and his group returned to their respective private rooms to rest.

The group of six had three private rooms: one for Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama, one for Kogoro Mouri alone, and one for Conan Sano, Heiji Hattori, and two others.

Each private room contains two beds.

originally.

Of the three on Sano's side, one of them has to sleep with Kogoro Mouri.

But that uncle's sleeping habits... are something no one wants to suffer for.

In the end, it turned out that Conan and Heiji Hattori were sharing a bed.

Yeah, best buddies, for life.

It's not that Heiji Hattori wants to share a table with Conan, it's just that if Conan doesn't agree.

So Conan went and slept with two girls.

How could Hattori Heiji tolerate this?

Heiji Hattori could only tolerate the fact that there was now someone else in his bed.

what?

Since you can't sleep with Kogoro Mouri, and you can't give Conan to the other two girls, why not give the plague god to Sano?

After all, all the tickets for the group were provided by Hattori Heiji.

Logically speaking, Heiji Hattori should have absolute control.

It's entirely possible to arrange everyone's positions reasonably.

...That's exactly what Hattori Heiji initially thought and did.

however.

"You just wait and see, if you dare to hurt my Kazuha..."

Sano pressed the stop button, feeling that based on only the first half of the recording...

That should be enough to remind some Osaka black chicken of that memory.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Heiji Hattori picked up Conan from beside him and threw him into the bed.

"go to bed!"

Yes, those who know when to yield are the wise ones.

Sano put his phone away with satisfaction and lay down on the bed.

Then, before midnight, unusual noises were heard in the private room.

Conan and Heiji, who were still awake, immediately changed their expressions.

"It's gunfire!"

The two quickly got up and rushed out of the private room.

Just then, Kogoro Mouri and his two companions also poked their heads out.

"what happened?"

Before anyone could react, the man who had been bumped by Kogoro Mouri earlier rushed in from one end of the carriage and quickly crossed the passageway.

They arrived at the private room next to Kogoro Mouri's.

"Grab him! He's a murderer! He just shot someone in the dining car!"

The train attendant also rushed into the carriage and shouted.

"what?"

Everyone's expression changed, and they turned to look. The man had already opened the door to the private room.

After firing two shots, he turned the gun back towards Sano and his group.

Two more shots rang out.

Conan and the others instinctively concealed themselves.

Looking again, the person had vanished without a trace, and the door to the next private room was closed, as if the man had gone in and closed the door.

Without saying a word, Kogoro Mouri rushed over and yanked the door open.

Unexpectedly, when the door was opened, there was only a cloud of air inside the private room.

Only the windows were smashed.

"Damn it, did they jump out of the car and run away?!"

Kogoro Mouri cursed angrily, while Heiji Hattori focused his gaze on Conan, whose brows were furrowed as if he were trying hard to remember something.

"Let's call the police first."

At Ran Mouri's suggestion, the police were soon waiting in the car.

The leader was a policeman Sano had never seen before... By the way, where are we now?

Never mind, they're all trivial matters.

Sano watched as the policeman learned about the situation.

Only Conan showed a momentary look of realization before quietly slipping away.

Heiji Hattori, who had been distracted by Conan, immediately followed.

Sano was hanging at the very back.

An unmanned train carriage.

Conan is waiting for the call to connect.

However, after a long time, the call still couldn't be connected.

"Tsk, what is that guy doing? Why can't we find him?"

Just as Conan closed his phone and began to grumble, he turned his head and looked at something.

The woman in the green dress was standing behind him, looking down at him.

"Hey, Conan, what's wrong?"

Heiji Hattori spoke at just the right moment, calling Conan over.

Only then did they finally learn that this incident was almost identical to the plot of a mystery novel written by Conan's father, Yusaku Kudo, but never published, which Conan had read when he was a child.

Okay, there are some differences, but not too much of an error.

"It's a novel, actually."

Hattori Heiji stroked his chin and looked at Sano: "Sano, what's wrong with you... never mind."
