Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, still feeling lingering fear, he...

Judy then discovered a problem that made her break out in a cold sweat again.

...What the hell, where's Ran Mouri?!?

No way, could it be that this girl didn't escape?!

Judy looked up in horror at the Suzuki Tower, which had been reduced to complete ruins with a deafening roar. Her eyes widened, and she felt a chill run through her body.

This is completely over...

"Ms. Judy!!"

A police car sped by, and Conan, who had twisted his ankle, jumped out and scrambled towards the car, his pale face filled with anxiety: "Ran, where's Ran!?"

...Unlike Shuichi Akai's locking method, which relies on technology as a supplement and focuses on his own abilities.

Conan prioritizes technology over his own abilities.

The advantage is that Conan can zoom in on the screen anytime, anywhere, has night vision, and even an "auto-lock" function, but the disadvantage is that the upper limit is low.

Conan did spot Ran Mouri immediately, but the next second, the rubble and debris interfered with the lock-on function, causing him to lose sight of his target and completely miss Rye's figure following closely behind...

Of course, if you really notice it.

Conan probably wouldn't feel at ease either; in fact, he might be even more panicked.

It was precisely because the lock was lost that Conan rushed over in such a hurry... even though, given the situation, it seemed like there was no hope left.

But what if?

Conan, who really couldn't believe that Ran Mouri was dead, scrambled to the police's temporary cordon and finally got help from Inspector Megure, then took a car over... but judging from Jodie's expression...

Damn it!

Conan was going crazy; his eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was rapid, and he was experiencing constant tinnitus.

"Find it, hurry up and find it!!"

After realizing what had happened, Inspector Megure was also very worried about Ran Mouri and immediately ordered his men to start searching for her.

But just then...

A phone call came in.

Judy answered the phone instinctively, and after hearing what was said on the other end...

The eyes, which had almost turned gray, suddenly lit up.

"What!?"

Are you serious!?

Before Judy could hang up, she grabbed Conan and ran to the side.

"Over here!"

After running around half of the ruins for several dozen meters,

Ran Mouri was fast asleep on the bench, while the big black cat on the street lamp dozens of meters away, having completed its mission, immediately took flight.

It disappeared into the night sky.

……

"...You mean, you saw an angel???"

Inside the Mouri Detective Agency, there's Jodie with her hand in a cast, Conan with his leg in a cast, and James.

He was looking at Ran Mouri with a bewildered expression, who had finally woken up.

"Um……"

Ran Mouri nodded slightly, but her expression was still somewhat dazed.

Judy and Conan exchanged a glance.

They all unconsciously showed somewhat amused expressions.

"Xiao Lan, are you hallucinating because you were too frightened?"

Ran Mouri's face showed a hint of hesitation, as if she doubted her own memory. However, she was not particularly willing to deny it and asked, "...But, in that situation, unless I actually grew wings, how could I have survived?"

"This……"

Conan and Jodie looked at each other again and realized that they had overlooked this point.

...Indeed, if it really was just a coincidence, a stroke of good luck, then what kind of incredible luck would it take to ensure that a person falling from a height of more than 300 meters is safe and sound, without even a scratch?

Judy, in particular, was reminded of the black cat she had faced that night.

...If I were to tell someone that I saw a person who had become half-human and half-cat.

I'd probably be laughed at, wouldn't I?

But that's the truth, by all accounts.

"Did you see, uh, what that angel looked like?"

Judy asked again.

Ran Mouri fell silent.

This puzzled Conan and James, but James narrowed his eyes, sighed, and asked, "Was the person who saved you... No-Face?"

"Hey?"

Conan and his companion turned around in astonishment to look at James.

Ran Mouri also showed a hint of surprise on her face.

They were taken aback at how James knew about this, but after a few seconds of silence...

Ran Mouri nodded.

This made the astonishment on Conan and Jodie's faces even more pronounced.

James sighed again, leaned closer to Ran Mouri's bedside, and said earnestly, "Miss Mouri, may I very seriously ask you for a favor?"

"……What's up?"

"Don't tell the Japanese police about what happened tonight... I mean the part about you being saved by an angel, especially don't mention it in the statement."

"……Why?"

After thinking for a while, James exhaled and rambled on for a long time, successfully persuading Ran Mouri to agree.

Conan then saw the two off.

"...Do you think angels are real?"

Judy kept her focus on this.

"How could it possibly be true?"

Conan gave a deadpan look: "It's probably due to some kind of technology."

What technology can make people grow wings?

Judy looked skeptical: "That sounds even less scientific, doesn't it?"

"Can the technology you originally thought could shrink people?"

Upon hearing Conan's words, Jodie was immediately stunned and fell silent.

If rejuvenation can be created, why can't monsters be created?

"...Perhaps, it's a biological experiment?"

Once downstairs, Judy couldn't help but speculate, "Rye and Black Cat definitely know each other and have a good relationship. One can grow wings, and the other can become half-human and half-cat. It's probably because they both survived from the same experimental project that they have a lot of trust in each other and occasionally help each other out?"

Conan: "..."

Biological experiment?

Combining humans and animals?

Judy's imagination is so rich!

Conan was actually thinking that the changes in these two people were similar to the transformations of Kurosawa's Black Mask, such as super alloy wings and super alloy claws... although this was also a bit exaggerated and felt a bit like a challenge to the worldview.

But at least it's still technology, isn't it?

Biological experiments... well, they seem to lean a bit towards superpowers...

...James, standing nearby, watched the two of them silently, only checking his adjusted headphones. Meanwhile, at the Kudo mansion, Shuichi Akai was holding a wine glass and fiddling with the photos on the table.

Conan, Ai Haibara, Sano, Ran Mouri, Rye, Black Fox, Black Cat, Black Death, Kurosawa, Ito Taka, Amuro Tooru... there are even photos of little girls, and Shuichi Akai keeps rearranging these photos.

After thinking for a moment, Shuichi Akai took out his pen again.

On the three photos, I wrote down the words "angel," "cat demon," and "mask."

...Akai Shuichi didn't actually know anything about angels.

Even though he's a bit better than Conan, Shuichi Akai managed to pinpoint Rye, who jumped out of the tower and approached Ran Mouri, but he's not without his limits.

In such a chaotic scene.

Shuichi Akai quickly lost the lock on to the two men.

Whether or not Rye actually touched Ran Mouri, or whether or not it grew wings, Shuichi Akai did not witness it with his own eyes.

This allows James to eavesdrop on his activities while he's checking the situation.

However, this did not prevent Shuichi Akai from making a deduction and asking James to look for someone nearby.

Chapters 589 and 592, what black clothes? What black clothes? What black clothes?

And in the end, just as Shuichi Akai had predicted, they successfully found the person.

This was later confirmed... although the "angel" part still surprised Shuichi Akai.

After stroking his chin and thinking for a while...

Shuichi Akai took out his phone and sent a text message to Conan.
