Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

"Cough, this, this is different!"

"What's different, you filial son?"

Conan's lips twitched at Sano's mockery.

...Damn it, it would have been better if Sano hadn't mentioned it, because once he did, Conan actually started to feel something.

Does that make me a heinous villain?

Sano looked at Conan, and what puzzled him even more was the root of Conan's actions.

After a good night's sleep, Sano felt much more awake.

It's like a math problem you couldn't understand before going to sleep in your past life, but you solved it in your dream and were able to solve it as soon as you woke up.

Although Sano could not determine the identity, motive, or method of the murderer.

But where was the evidence? Sano had an idea—he thought Conan and the other two should know even more.

However, the two still planned to use a sting operation.

Isn't this just pointless and unnecessary?

Chapter 515, 518, Yusaku Kudo: I think I can still be saved.

Sano had even sent Erhei, a scout, to investigate.

The evidence was indeed in the murderer's bag.

Even if the duo doesn't have the authority to search other people's packages, they could still change their approach slightly, or even force their way in, and use the facts to change the nature of the infringement and avoid punishment.

Why do we have to do it this way?

Sano couldn't quite understand, but he didn't intend to.

Because none of these things matter.

Having received the task of ensuring Yukiko Kudo's life, Sano naturally didn't care about anything else and immediately looked at the green figure who had just gotten off the car.

"Conan."

Just then, Ran Mouri also got off the bus carrying large and small bags.

Those who know them think they're on vacation, but those who don't might think they're moving house.

After exchanging a few words with Conan, he made an excuse and slipped away.

Turning around, he discovered that his mother and Sano had both disappeared.

Where are they???

Hattori Heiji never expected that two living people would disappear in such a short time.

The key point is that it's neither Conan nor Heiji Hattori.

No one thought that Sano was like Yukiko Kudo, recklessly going off to do her own thing.

It's highly likely that Sano has followed Yukiko Kudo.

But it didn't call out to itself even once.

Damn it, not only did they not call me Kudo, but they didn't even call me myself! That's so unfair!

Heiji Hattori quickly followed Conan and slipped away.

After some effort, the two successfully reached the opposite platform of the station platform below.

I saw Yukiko Kudo.

In addition, a dark figure was approaching from behind Yukiko Kudo.

...Only Sano was nowhere to be seen.

Just as they were shocked that Yukiko Kudo had suddenly run off to the detective duo on the opposite platform, a strong sense of foreboding arose in their hearts.

To be honest, the duo trusted Sano a great deal.

Both in terms of ability and character, this creates a sense of security and stability—provided that Sano was indeed involved.

The duo thought that Sano's disappearance was most likely because they had followed Yukiko Kudo, but that was only a probability, as they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

What if Sano didn't expect Yukiko Kudo to leave first, and his attention wasn't on her at all, plus he trusted the duo the same way?

So one person really did leave first?

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Just as Sano had thought, the duo clearly knew where the crucial evidence was, but instead of going to get it, they turned around and adopted this risky entrapment method.

why?

Isn't it because they're worried that if something goes wrong, they'll lose everything?

Investigating a case is not gambling.

You can't reveal your hand based on speculation without evidence.

Then he wouldn't be a detective, but a gambler.

Conan and the others originally planned to wait until the culprit made a move before catching him in the act.

This confirmed the killer's identity and ensured that there would be absolutely no problem.

Let's try something harder.

But now, not only is there no way to determine whether the murderer will take the bait, but even if he does, there's no way to guarantee the safety of the bait.

Especially Conan.

Thinking back to what Sano had said earlier, panic instantly rose in his heart.

"Mom, look behind you!!"

"boom--"

The train clattered into the station, obscuring both figures, and the roar of the engine masked the sounds.

Conan's scalp tingled instantly, and Heiji Hattori next to him wasn't much better off.

His dark scalp was covered in cold sweat.

Meanwhile, Yukiko Kudo was secretly glancing around.

Hmm, it seems those kids are pretty good at stealth; I couldn't even see a trace of them. In that case, the murderer will definitely take the bait, right?

The train had not yet come to a complete stop.

A black hand reached out from the crowd and reached towards Yukiko Kudo's back.

...This scene seems familiar. Has Ran Mouri had a similar experience?

As Sano made his move, he recalled his earlier experience of narrowly missing a train.

A plague god is a plague god.

There are far too many people who have been harmed, and even the methods of harming them inevitably overlap to some extent.

"what!"

The young man wearing glasses had his wrist grabbed by Sano. Before he could react, his wrist snapped with a "crack," and he instinctively knelt on the ground.

But long before Sano grabbed the man's wrist.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw another hand appear, its target seemingly still Yukiko Kudo.

What's going on? Two murderers?

Does this kid actually have accomplices?

Slightly surprised, Sano acted faster than he thought. At the same time as he pinned the man down, he turned around and swung his left arm, the hammer of justice hidden in his sleeve flying into his hand and striking the man squarely in the face.

"what!"

The second scream rang out, almost a fraction of a second after the first.

Kudo Yusaku's glasses were smashed to pieces.

After instinctively closing his eyes, Kudo Yusaku collapsed to the ground, writhing like a maggot.

Oh wow.

He immediately realized whose Sano he had actually attacked, and remained unmoved.

The commotion caused the surrounding passengers to scatter instinctively, and also made Yukiko Kudo turn around. After seeing Sano, her gaze shifted to the bespectacled man under him, and then to Yusaku Kudo lying next to her. She was instantly in a daze.

"...Yusaku!!!"

With a face full of grief and her complexion pale, like a widow who had lost her husband, Yukiko Kudo suddenly threw herself onto Yusaku Kudo.

"Yusaku, you can't die, Yusaku! What will I do if you die?!"

Yusaku Kudo, who was on the ground, had gradually recovered from the effects of that blow.

After all, that blow wasn't exactly light, but it wasn't heavy either, especially considering that Kudo Yusaku was undoubtedly not a bad person.

There was no injury whatsoever, just pure pain.

The duration of that duration can only be very short.

Therefore, after realizing what had happened, he was faced with his wife's mournful behavior.

Kudo Yusaku was internally stunned and speechless.

Even if the current situation weren't so embarrassing, making Kudo Yusaku feel extremely ashamed.

Kudo Yusaku wanted to say something like, "Actually, I think I can still be saved."

And so, Kudo Yukiko's crying only intensified.

Yusaku Kudo simply buried his face in the ground—pretending to be unconscious!

This is the optimal solution at present!

As long as you're not embarrassed, then it's others who will be embarrassed!

The whispers and pointing fingers around me, even without looking?
