Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Page 602

Originally, the traitorous cadre didn't want to be caught and brought back alive.

Because in that case, the most likely way to die would be to be "interrogated," and after confirming that there were no problems, to be thrown into the research group as a guinea pig.

This kind of death, while not extremely painful, is certainly not easy either.

Traitorous cadres would rather commit suicide or "die in battle."

But things changed later... The psychological trauma inflicted on the traitorous cadre by that afternoon's events was too heavy. Even after calming down a bit, he still didn't quite understand why he had become like this. But the fact was, he now felt that as long as he didn't fall into the hands of that smiling tiger, the final outcome didn't matter.

...One is a known horror, the other is an unknown horror, which seems likely to be even more terrifying than the former. Which one should I choose?

It goes without saying.

Even though he had clearly chosen to give up and surrender, this guy still wouldn't let him go. It was simply...

This is absolutely outrageous!

The traitorous cadre wanted to speak up and demonstrate his "character," guaranteeing that he would never report to Rum, and that even if interrogated, he would never reveal anything. He even tried to provoke Rum into giving him a quick death on the spot.

pity.

When Amuro Tooru tied up the man, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he also put a cloth strip around the mouth of the traitorous cadre, so that he could not speak clearly at all, and could only writhe his body like a maggot while staring with his eyes wide open, "Ugh ugh ugh."

...Look how scared this child is, he almost wishes he had a mouth growing out of his head.

Amuro Tooru and the other two looked away with strange expressions and then turned to Sano.

Sano smiled and remained silent for a few seconds before shrugging and saying, "It was just a joke. You guys aren't taking it seriously, are you? Why are you being so serious?"

"..."

...The way you think things through before coming to a conclusion makes it seem like you're the one who's serious, and there's no sign of you joking at all, right?

"gone."

Amuro Tooru finally chose to mute himself, giving Sano no chance to say anything more, and got in the car and left... If this guy continued to talk, who knows what kind of shocking, but meaningless and time-wasting things he would say.

Why are you running so fast?

Sano muttered something to himself, then turned to look at Ito Taka: "Let's go."

"Oh."

……

After returning to Tokyo, Sano simply gave up and did nothing as usual.

"Our kindergarten is going to hold a tree planting activity tomorrow, and parents are also required to attend. The teacher said that the kindergarten will provide the saplings, but we need to bring our own shovels."

Listening to my little girl chattering away as she came home from school, telling me about what happened that day.

Sano responded weakly.

"Okay, I'll go buy it later... What should we have for dinner?"

"It's all right."

The little girl turned on the TV, her face full of excitement and anticipation as she watched the Kamen Rider show that had just started. Sano didn't ask any more questions. After thinking for a moment, he realized he still needed to buy a shovel, so he didn't spend any more money on takeout. He called out and went straight out the door.

After arriving at the supermarket, Sano looked around.

As a result, they didn't even see a shovel.

what's the situation?

Sano was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was seeing things and couldn't see it.

After searching around again.

Feeling that his eyesight might be failing, Sano went directly to the cashier and asked, "Hello, I'd like to buy a shovel, where is it?"

"The shovel is over there."

After searching around again in the area the cashier had pointed out, Sano was completely bewildered.

"I didn't see it?"

"Hey?"

The cashier scratched his head and had no choice but to walk out from behind the counter and personally lead Sano over.

then……

Sano, staring at the spatula in his hand, fell into deep thought.

"...Is it possible that the shovel I'm talking about isn't this spatula, but one of those big shovels...you know, a shovel, you know, it's used for burying corpses...it's for digging. I'm going to plant trees tomorrow, you know?"

Sano gestured, finally making the cashier understand what he meant.

then……

"I'm sorry, sir, our supermarket does not sell shovels like this."

Sano: "...Why not? Aren't you a supermarket?"

The cashier scratched her head awkwardly, saying with difficulty, "Well, the supermarket's product selection has nothing to do with me as a cashier... But I think the main problem is that this stuff is hard to sell and doesn't make much money. Not to mention our supermarket, I guess supermarkets all over the country don't sell it."

"what?"

Sano frowned: "Then where should we buy it?"

"Some hardware stores, general merchandise stores, places that sell agricultural products, or even a small number of convenience stores should sell them."

The cashier couldn't help but turn her head away and chuckle.

...because such things can probably be considered "common sense" with a grain of salt.

As for Sano, who was so confused, he naturally didn't have... well.

Sano, however, did not feel embarrassed.

So what if you lack common sense?

Sano can't even cook, and on top of that, he's also lacking common sense.

There's nothing strange about it.

Thank you.

After thanking him, Sano embarked on his quest to find the shovel.

After finally finding the place, Sano was suddenly given a mission.

"Seize the target and take him to the police station"—that was the order.

It's an old task... it's just that I haven't seen it for a while.

Sano glanced up at the hardware store owner, who was staring at him expectantly, then looked at the shovel in the corner, and thought for a moment.

They went into one of the alleys first.

This left the boss with a hint of disappointment.

At the same moment that Sano came out of the alley, another dark figure left from the other end... There were two mission targets, they were located, and they were even close together, which saved him a little trouble.

The only problem is that these two locations are moving.

It wasn't exactly a highway, more like being inside a car. Since it was in the city, it definitely couldn't go too fast... Ugh, another taxi fare in the meantime.

Sano grumbled to himself as he hurried along the road while waiting for the bus.

...Or, how about we try dragging the Black King out for a spin?

The thought came to mind.

Sano's little heart immediately began to stir with excitement.

However, considering the problem that "it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away," Sano regretfully put the idea aside for the time being... After all, unlike the other living equipment, the Black King was too big, making retreat a bit troublesome.

It's better to just take a taxi... Sano's eyes darted around.

It landed on a small electric scooter parked on the side of the street... Although there are very few people riding electric scooters in Japan, there are still some.

This little electric scooter looks like this, and the Nadotong food delivery box is placed on it.

All of this proves that this little electric scooter can go anywhere.

Sano's gaze shifted again, and he saw a Natoto delivery rider waiting for his meal at the fast food restaurant.

...I'll just borrow it for now.

Sano moved discreetly to the electric scooter. To prevent the rider from taking the food with him, which would result in the rider being late and the food being stolen, and in the event that the rider would have to pay compensation along with his own company funds, he thoughtfully placed the food box aside before twisting the throttle and speeding away...

To avoid unnecessary trouble.

The electric scooters used by the Nationwide riders are all legitimate, not the heavily modified kind, so their speed is naturally not very fast, but...

Sano has the [Riding] effect, which directly doubles his speed.

Although not as exaggerated as the semi-sonic speed in rampage mode, a speed of around 100 mph is still quite eye-catching in the city.

Sano and his car formed a long, dark shadow.

They sped through the streets.

Countless close-quarters dodges, overtaking, cornering, and drifting.

This often results in a series of screeching brakes, screams, and angry shouts.

Pedestrians on the roadside had already taken out their phones early on.

The police were called to report that there were street racers speeding in the city in broad daylight.

...Ahem, this isn't Sano deliberately showing off.

Those two targets were up to something, circling around the nearby streets, which made it difficult for Sano to decide which way to intercept them.

Are you treating yourself like a dog on a walk?
