Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Without knowing certain details, Sano didn't switch to the most suitable Black Fox disguise to carry out the plan. Instead, he used his real disguise for a small probing before getting straight to the point...

cough cough.

In conclusion, sometimes being too particular is not a good thing.

"Did you see the sniper upstairs?"

Amuro Tooru suddenly spoke up and asked Sano.

Sano raised an eyebrow, rolled up his sleeves, and leaned against the wall: "I saw it."

"Do you think that in this situation, the reason we haven't fired is because the prisoner might be carrying a trigger-activated bomb that can't be moved even slightly?"

"Just like checking a student's level," Amuro Tooru continued.

"Do not."

To Amuro Tooru's surprise, Sano shook his head.

"Because generally speaking, criminals rarely carry such an extremely unstable bomb together. It might be possible if it were left alone in another place. As for why the police haven't fired yet... it's probably because the big sign of the Mouri Detective Agency on the second-floor window is obscuring the sniper's view. After all, with a bomb, even the slightest impact would be taken very seriously by the police, so they should proceed with caution."

Sano's analysis left Amuro Tooru momentarily stunned.

"...Are you really a newcomer?"

"If I were really a complete novice, I wouldn't have been assigned to work alongside an adult. To be more precise, I'm a newcomer to the organization."

Seeing Sano's beaming smile, Amuro Tooru also smiled back.

"I see, I understand now."

This topic ends here.

Of course, Sano also had his own things to do.

"Should I go up and handle this?"

Amuro Tooru's eyes showed a hint of surprise upon hearing Sano's sudden suggestion.

"...You want to get involved in this?"

"It's not that I want to get involved in this, but rather that you, sir, want to resolve it."

Before Amuro Tooru could speak, Sano threw out the key point: "I don't know why you work at that coffee shop, but since you're working there, you must have your reasons. You certainly don't want the coffee shop's daily operations to be affected by this... Perhaps I don't have the authority to ask too many questions, but helping you solve your problems is my duty."

Amuro Tooru narrowed his eyes: "Are you confident you can handle this?"

"Okay, leave it to me."

"it is good."

Having received permission, Sano crossed the police line and came to Inspector Megure's side.

"Hello, officer, do you remember me?"

Inspector Megure turned around and saw Sano. He was taken aback for a moment: "Ah, I remember you, you're the detective who helped me solve the case at the ice rink last time, right?"

"detective?"

Sano and Amuro Tooru, who followed behind, were both taken aback.

"Did I say I was a detective?"

"Hey, aren't you... huh?"

Inspector Megure had just finished scratching his head when he looked at Tooru Amuro again.

"Hey, I remember you're... Sano's boss, right?"

"Yes, I didn't expect the officer to remember me."

Amuro Tooru smiled while secretly glancing at Sano.

Clearly, Inspector Megure's words had bothered Amuro Tooru.

"By the way, how did you two end up together?"

Inspector Megure asked again.

"Because he is my employee."

Amuro Tooru's initiative to provide cover left Inspector Megure completely bewildered.

"Your employees...aren't they detectives?"

Sano remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "If he says so, then it is."

Inspector Megure: "..."

This thing is either true or false, why make it sound so complicated?

"Alright, officer, let's get down to business. May I go up now?"

When Sano asked him, Inspector Megure snapped out of his daze and subconsciously answered.

"Oh, okay...wait a minute, what did you say? Where to??"

Chapter 544, Sera Masumi: I'm dumbfounded.

At the same time.

Inside the Mori Detective Agency.

The Mori father and daughter, Sera Masumi, and three women of different heights, weights, and builds... or more accurately, each with their own unique characteristics, are huddled on the sidelines in different directions.

In the center was a middle-aged man, probably in his thirties, dressed like a soldier, wearing camouflage, a beret, and holding a pistol.

Everyone present looked tense.

Only the cell phone on the desk was playing Conan... or more strictly speaking, it should be.

Shinichi Kudo's voice.

The story begins when Ran Mouri went to school this morning—Sera Masumi transferred to her class and followed her here after school. Conan, on the other hand, is currently at Professor Agasa's house because he's going camping tomorrow, so he escaped unscathed.

In short, having lost her chance to get close to Conan, Sera Masumi decided to slip away.

But just then, the four men came in.

The three women are part-time novelists, and they met online.

Officially, the three of them came to find material from Kogoro Mouri.

Because all three of them wrote suspense novels.

In reality, it was the man who tricked the three of them into coming here, with this as his purpose.

The goal was for Kogoro Mouri to find the murderer among the three who killed his sister.

The man's sister, also a novelist, met the trio of suspects online, but she was more professional than the other three.

During a recent trip, the man's sister committed suicide at a hot spring hotel.

However, the man did not believe that his sister would commit suicide, and there were many doubts.

Therefore, the man then focused his suspicions on the trio who were also at the hot spring inn at the time... and when he first pulled out his gun, Ran Mouri and Masumi Sera tried to subdue him together.

It was eventually successful, but not entirely.

Because the man had a bomb strapped to his body, and it would explode if he pressed the remote control.

Then let's all die together.

And so, the situation became like this... Then, coincidentally, Conan saw Sera Masumi walking with Ran Mouri after school and mistook her for a boy, which made him jealous.

Then the phone rang.

Sera Masumi used her cunning to snatch the phone but didn't actually hang up.

So Conan listened in on the whole story, and while calling the police, he continued to listen in.

Before he could finish listening, the man noticed something was wrong with the phone.

Left with no other choice, Conan "revealed" Shinichi Kudo's identity.

This gave the man the idea of ​​borrowing the power of the high school detective. Before he lost his mind, he self-destructed on the spot, dragging the others down to hell with him.

"I said, why don't you take that phone to charge first? Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if it suddenly ran out of power and shut down at a crucial moment."

Sera Masumi continued to use her ulterior motives.

As expected, the man, worried that if someone else did the work, they might tamper with it, so he went behind the desk himself to search for the items.

Stable.

Sera Masumi glanced at the sniper on the building across the street and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He also comforted Ran Mouri, who was standing next to him.

As a result, Sera Masumi almost popped her eyes out of their sockets.

Ran Mouri suddenly walked over and pulled the curtains closed.

"..."

At that moment, Sera Masumi was stunned. If it weren't for Ran Mouri, and if the current situation didn't allow it, she could guarantee it.

I will unleash every swear word I've ever uttered since birth within one minute.

Spray it all out!

After returning to Sera Masumi's side, Ran Mouri's expression was complicated for a moment before she firmly explained, "I believe that Shinichi will end this in a way that will not result in any casualties."

"There's no need to gamble with other people's lives."

A sudden sound interrupted the conversation. Turning around, he saw Sano leaning against the doorframe.

"You trust that guy named Shinichi Kudo, no problem, but do your dad, your classmates, and these three unlucky guys trust him too?"

“A prisoner’s life is a life too, that’s true. You’re willing to gamble your own life for his, that’s also true, and I could even praise you for it. But you’re gambling with other people’s lives, isn’t that putting the cart before the horse and going against your original intention?”

...to reason with each other.

If one day one of Sano's teammates does the same thing as Ran Mouri just did, then no matter what the final outcome is, he will kill that idiot first and foremost before thinking about anything else.

Of course, logically speaking, Sano would never allow such an idiot to be his teammate... and of course, if this were to happen to Ran Mouri...
