Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

"...They have to take exams, why do you think I don't need to take exams?"

Sano asked, puzzled.

"Because I don't think you'll honestly take the exam."

Ai Haibara said this.

However, Sano doesn't think that the two of them are close enough that even when things are going smoothly, Ai Haibara would still ask a question out of turn.

This fake loli is quite cunning.

"I don't know, we'll see. I'll go when I have time."

Sano gave a casual reply, and then everyone went home to their own mothers.

Chapter 549, 552, Shuichi Akai: Do I look like a pervert?

the next day.

Sano arrived at, well, at Shinichi Kudo's house.

Nothing serious, Shuichi Akai just asked Sano to come over for a chat.

Let's chat about what's been going on lately... It's like he's fucking sick.

Sano could understand that Shuichi Akai wanted to have as much contact with him as possible in order to subtly probe for various information.

Whether it's Sano Black Fox's own identity or that of a member of that organization.

Either way, you're not at a loss.

As for whether this will cause Sano any trouble.

What does that have to do with Shuichi Akai?

Of course, being completely unrestrained, blatant, or, to put it more dramatically, tearing off the mask of civility.

These are two completely different concepts.

Otherwise, Shuichi Akai might as well have anonymously reported Sano to the organization that he was an undercover agent... cough cough. As for why Sano would even bother with this bastard.

It cannot be said that a higher-ranking official can suppress a lower-ranking one.

However, Sano was, after all, "living under someone else's roof." As long as Shuichi Akai pretended to be in a difficult position and brought up the rules, regardless of whether it was useful or not, his superiors and subordinates had to produce something to show their superiors.

It always displeases those above.

Even if Sano keeps "losing contact" and makes excuses several times,

Even if it's necessary to deceive, you still have to deceive someone a little.

Incidentally, you can also freeload a meal and bask in the stigma of being a plague god.

Sano looked out the window at Professor Agasa's house next door, wondering what kind of commotion the plague god's aura would cause today.

Instead of seeing anything else, they spotted Sera Masumi.

"Ok?"

Shuichi Akai's expression changed slightly as he looked at Sano.

"Could you please move a little further away from the window?"

"What, are you afraid your sister will see this?"

Shuichi Akai didn't say anything, he just stared straight at Sano.

"Don't be so nervous. I didn't do anything special. After all, your eyes are so similar. If you still can't tell each other apart, then I think I need to take some time to go to the hospital to get my eyes checked."

Sano's casual remark made Shuichi Akai adjust his glasses.

"I heard that you've recently become involved in two cases?"

"You're keeping such a close eye on me, be careful the organization doesn't notice."

Sano smiled and replied, "As for those two cases, one was accidental, and the other was necessary for the mission. It wasn't something I wanted to get involved in."

Shuichi Akai remained noncommittal until quite some time later.

Shuichi Akai suddenly took out the earphones he had plugged into his ears, stood up and said, "Excuse me, my target has gone out and I have to follow. If you want to leave first, remember to lock the door. If you plan to stay for dinner, just find a couple of books to pass the time."

“It’s just a trip to the supermarket, and you have to come along.”

Sano clicked his tongue in amazement and curled the corners of his mouth: "I say, you wouldn't actually be a pervert, using the guise of a mission to satisfy your weird hobby, would you?"

"..."

"??"

This guy can even hear what's being eavesdropped on in his own earpiece?

Shuichi Akai's brain went blank for a moment. Apart from this anomaly, the key reason was that Sano's words left him unsure of how to react.

Saying.

It seems like this isn't the first time someone has mentioned the term "pedophilia" to me.

Do I really look like a pervert right now?

"Oh, your target is already quite far away, aren't you going to follow?"

Sano's sudden words brought Shuichi Akai back to his senses. He could no longer care about his earlier sarcasm and hurriedly went out to catch up with Ai Haibara and the other children.

But before Sano could find something to do to pass the time, he unexpectedly saw it again.

A small blue van pulled up in front of Professor Agasa's house.

Two figures in work clothes entered Professor Agasa's house. A short while later, they worked together to carry something—well, a bundle of something that looked like a blanket or curtain—into a car and drove away.

Sano narrowed his eyes, turned around, sat down on the sofa, and started reading a novel.

A moment later.

Shuichi Akai returned, put his headphones back on, and began to furrow his brow.

Sano glanced at it but didn't pay any attention.

Only after Shuichi Akai's brow relaxed a little did Sano speak up and ask.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Akai Hideaki glanced at Sano and chuckled, "What, didn't you hear me this time?"

Sano chuckled and said, "Do you think I have super hearing, able to hear everything you overhear without missing a single word, regardless of distance?"

"No, I thought you were."

Shuichi Akai didn't hide anything. While continuing to eavesdrop, he explained the situation to Sano—basically, while Ai Haibara and Conan were at the supermarket, Professor Agasa's house was attacked by a mysterious person.

So far, there have been no casualties, except that a little girl was kidnapped.

...It must be Ayumi, that real loli.

"Professor Agasa and the other girl were stunned by the kidnappers with stun guns and did not notice when the girl was kidnapped."

Upon hearing this, Sano raised an eyebrow.

Ai Haibara, Ayumi... another little girl?

When did the Plague God Squad become the third female member?

Just as doubts arose, the mission finally arrived.

[Please help Professor Agasa find out the truth within the mission time limit. Completion will earn you 100 enhancement points. Mission time remaining: 05:59:59.]

"Let's go."

Sano immediately stopped thinking about it, stood up and spoke, while Shuichi Akai looked puzzled.

"Where?"

"Of course, we'll go next door and check on the situation."

Shuichi Akai paused, then asked, "...You seem to really enjoy getting involved in these kinds of troubles?"

"trouble?"

Sano laughed and said, "Aren't you FBI agents all righteous people? When an innocent young girl is in danger, are you going to stand aside and do nothing?"

Shuichi Akai remained silent for a while, then got up and followed Sano.

Later, they went to Professor Agasa's house next door.

Professor Agasa, the four-person Plague God Squad excluding Ayumi is indeed having a hard time.

But besides that, Sano also saw an unexpected face.

She's the little girl next door.

How did this girl end up here?

Sano frowned slightly... So, the little girl who was electrocuted by Akai Shuichi just now was her.

Given his current situation, Sano naturally couldn't ask why the little girl was there; he simply listened to Conan explain the details.

Conan was naturally surprised and curious about Sano's appearance, especially his appearance with Shuichi Akai, but given the current situation...

I really can't allow Conan to gossip about anything.

Whether it's Sano's Black Fox disguise or Akai Shuichi's true identity under Okiya Subaru's disguise, in Conan's eyes, they are both individuals with extremely strong deductive abilities.

At this critical juncture, it would be a better choice to seek help from the two of them.

"It seems we should call the police first..."

Before Shuichi Akai could finish speaking, a text message notification rang.

After searching, Genta found Ayumi's phone.

The text message seemed to be from the kidnappers. The gist of it was: don't call the police. Their goal wasn't money or people; they just wanted Professor Agasa to hand over the cat.

Neither Sano nor Shuichi Akai spoke rashly, observing the situation unfold on its own.

Chapters 550 and 553, the person is actually quite nice?
