Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Well done, Sano!

...to reason with each other.

In Inspector Megure's opinion, although Sano is indeed very capable.

But it can only serve as the "main force".

That sounds a bit awkward.

In fact, besides being able to take on important responsibilities in solving cases and saving lives, Sano is also capable of much more.

It has no other use... cough cough.

That seems a bit too realistic... Anyway, playing support is out of the question.

Sano could never play support – this was Inspector Megure's opinion until today, but now, that opinion has changed.

This guy actually knows how to read the mood and acts as a peacemaker!

It's absolutely, absolutely, so incredibly touching!

Inspector Megure even felt the urge to shed tears. This child has finally grown up!

Meanwhile, Ran Mouri and the others who were "unrelated parties" had rather strange expressions.

because.

Let alone the stereotypes formed from their usual interactions, even at first glance, Sano and Amuro Tooru should give the impression that the former is reckless and the latter is soothing... In other words

In that scene just now, weren't the roles reversed for the two people?

"cough."

James coughed to get attention.

"Then let's continue... Based on the suspect Hunter's motives, we have also identified three other individuals who may be his next targets."

James then displayed photos of the three men, along with related information.

Similar to the two guys mentioned earlier who caused Hunter's wife's death and his bankruptcy respectively, these three are also different sources of his current predicament.

A man in his thirties from Japan.

This guy was engaged to Hunter's sister back then, but later broke off the engagement.

This led to the death of Hunter's sister.

The other two were foreigners, one black and one white, both in their thirties or forties.

These two men were the ones who reported Hunter for violating the regulations back then.

The one in white is a high-ranking officer in the Marine Corps, who is considered the "plaintiff," while the one in black is the subordinate of the one in white, who is considered a witness.

...I feel like these two are the main attractions.

After all, if we really want to talk about it, the real source is these two people.

According to James.

The Japanese man disappeared after breaking off the engagement years ago and has not been found yet, but the other two... coincidentally, are both currently in Japan, the white one in Kyoto and the black one in Nikko.

This made Sano feel a bit, well, expected, but not quite right.

Despite what James explained.

These Black and White Impermanence have been retired for several years, but they were once in the military and held relatively high ranks. How could they enter the country so easily...?

Yes, very Emilia.

Finally, there is another relatively obvious clue—at the location where the suspect carried out the sniping in today's case, an empty bullet casing and a blue die placed on the number "4" were found.

The shell casings were undoubtedly left there intentionally.

According to information provided by James, dice are Hunter's favorite game, and he even has a die tattooed on his upper arm.

Four.

The remaining three people.

This was taken for granted by everyone as Hunter conducting the countdown.

The only point of doubt.

None of these dice were found near the journalist who was killed abroad.

This is the end.

The matter is temporarily settled... at least Sano doesn't need to do anything for the time being.

Oh, even if the case requires it.

That depends on whether Sano wants to do it or not.

Before leaving, Sano picked up the documents on the table and took a few photos.

Inspector Megure instinctively said, "Hey, you can't film this..."

Sano glanced sideways, and Inspector Megure immediately realized what was happening but pretended not to see it.

on the way back.

Conan's face was full of sighs and emotions, with a hint of disappointment and relaxation.

...The former is naturally due to Hunter's motives.

A hero who fought his way up from the battlefield... at least for Amelika.

He is undoubtedly a hero.

The result was a series of twists and turns, leading to the way it is now.

It's really hard not to feel a sense of melancholy, a feeling of shared sorrow.

As for the latter...

That was a misunderstanding.

To be precise, it was Conan himself who had unfounded suspicions... Of course, he didn't think they were unfounded. As someone who witnessed the sniping incident firsthand, he knew all too well the implications of that shot.

Shuichi Akai, Gin, Rye, Kurosawa.

Others include Chianti, Cohen, and Calvados.

Conan hasn't seen many snipers, but those he has seen are all top-notch.

These people may have slight differences in skill level.

Although Conan's level of understanding isn't enough to directly perceive the difference, he can say with certainty that the gun shot today...

That's the top level.

A top-notch sniper, of course, doesn't just appear out of nowhere.

Therefore, Conan naturally suspected the organization... especially during the subsequent chase, when that guy even threw a grenade behind him.

Good guy.

Conan almost had a sudden reaction at that moment.

As for the final result... he was indeed a top-notch sniper, but unfortunately, he wasn't one of the snipers Conan had originally imagined.

This left Conan with rather mixed feelings.

I practically took my pants off, and this is what I got?

"...Then I'll just go and return the car."

After dropping off the Mori family, Amuro Tooru continued to escort Sano home.

However, upon arriving at the destination, Amuro Tooru did not open the door but instead looked at Sano.

What do you think of Mr. Mori?

"dont see."

Seeing that Amuro Tooru seemed determined to make a scene and not let him leave, Sano lay back down and listlessly started scrolling through his phone.

Amuro Tooru was completely bewildered by Sano's answer.

"...He's not a beauty, why would I bother looking at him?"

Before Amuro Tooru could speak, Sano added another sentence.

"...Who asked you that? What I mean is, do you think the 'Sleeping Kogoro Mouri' setting is really scientifically accurate? Based on his usual behavior and his behavior when he's asleep, is it really possible that he's the same person? Is it possible that this guy is actually a person with a split personality?"

After listening to Amuro Tooru's long speech, Sano's eye twitched slightly.

...Indeed, when ordinary people see Kogoro Mouri's character design and think about it more deeply, they can easily associate it with the so-called dual personality, but Amuro Tooru...

Is he an ordinary person?

Putting aside his own keen senses, Conan is always courting death.

The anomaly has probably already been noticed.

The more crucial point is that there is precedent.

That's right, what Vermouth and Conan didn't know was that Amuro Tooru already knew that Ai Haibara was actually a shrunken Shiho Miyano.

Actions on the Suzuki family's express train.

To outsiders, it was nothing more than a photo of Ai Haibara after she grew up, which Amuro Tooru secretly took through the trio of real children and then uploaded to the internet.

That confirmed that Shirley would get in the car.

But in reality...

Amuro Tooru, however, had already noticed the real core point through the changes in the number of people in the Plague God Squad at that time... just like Vermouth was able to quickly discover Ai Haibara after confirming that Conan was Shinichi Kudo.

Amuro Tooru, in turn, developed some connections with Conan through Ai Haibara.

Especially during the actions after getting on the train, Amuro Tooru further confirmed that his speculation was correct... As the saying goes, once there is one, there will be two. The greater the impact of the first example, the easier it is to quickly make connections when the second example appears.

Not to mention, Ai Haibara, as Sherry, happened to be hiding around Conan.

How could Amuro Tooru not find that strange?

Although Sano wasn't sure, Amuro Tooru probably already knew roughly what was going on, but he was still talking about other things and making up nonsense, which was a bit hard to understand... Was it because he hadn't obtained Ai Haibara's hair or anything else to compare with Sherry's DNA... or perhaps he simply didn't have any material from either side, so he was still a little unwilling to believe it.
