Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

And just as Amuro Tooru had predicted, things unfolded.

Gin was immediately enraged in a state he had almost never experienced before.

The first issue is the questioning.

They questioned whether Amuro Tooru was lying, believing that rye wouldn't die so easily.

Some question whether Amuro Tooru was the mastermind if Rye really died.

question……

After calming down a bit, it was time to verify the information.

Gin immediately called Rye, but no one answered.

I made over ten phone calls in a row, and it was the same thing... I still couldn't give up.

It seems that Gin's loss of composure is more serious than he had imagined.

After Gin confirmed through preliminary investigation that Rye was at least out of contact, Amuro Tooru personally accompanied him and led the way to the location where the two had been ambushed. Of course, this time they brought a lot of people with them. Even if it wasn't a direct confrontation, they were at least prepared, so even if they were ambushed again, they would still be safe.

At the very least, they can ensure their safe escape.

When they arrived at the destination, Amuro Tooru and his group did not find Rye's body, but Gin did not assume that he was lying because of this.

On the contrary, Gin believed Amuro Tooru.

Because that place was cleaned up too much.

It's like wanting to deliberately hide something, and you have to hide the traces.

no doubt.

The rye carcass has been disposed of to avoid unnecessary trouble.

that moment.

Both Gin and Amuro Tooru fell into a deathly silence.

His men were ambushed and killed.

Logically speaking, Gin should have gone to seek revenge and get his revenge.

But Amuro Tooru knew very well.

This concept simply doesn't exist for the organization.

Especially considering Gin's nature of prioritizing the organization above all else, in Amuro Tooru's view, unless Rye's death caused the ambushing forces to do something particularly outrageous, otherwise...

Gin's consistent approach has always been to avoid conflict whenever possible and minimize losses when there are no corresponding benefits.

however.

Surprisingly...

Gin immediately assigned Amuro Tooru the task of conducting an in-depth investigation.

Find out who did it and what their purpose was, then decide on the next steps based on the situation.

This greatly shocked Amuro Tooru.

...This kind of task, in itself, seems to have no problem. After all, no matter what, this unknown force did indeed take action against the organization. It's time to gather relevant intelligence and prepare in advance.

That makes perfect sense.

The only problem is that Gin was too hasty.

The task was assigned on the spot and required to be completed in one step. The manpower involved far exceeded that of ordinary tasks. Most importantly, Gin also overstepped his bounds.

The action team leader issued a mission to a member of Amuro Tooru's intelligence team.

If Rum finds out about this, it might cause internal strife.

Of course, Amuro Tooru didn't care. He would even applaud if the dogs were fighting. And Gin, as a high-ranking executive, was in a different group.

But how could Amuro Tooru dare to disobey orders?

what?

Why not contact Rum?

Oh dear, it's because Gin was pushing me so hard, I didn't expect this... But aside from that.

Amuro Tooru was also aware that Gin's mission was ostensibly for intelligence gathering.

What exactly is behind this?

It was just an excuse to seek revenge.

Amuro Tooru's attitude toward this was somewhat complicated.

If this force is also a criminal organization, then Amuro Tooru would naturally not mind taking the first step to rid the people of this scourge... As for revenge, although it is somewhat difficult to put into words, he has to admit that after receiving such a favor, he might feel uneasy if he did nothing, not to mention that guy's deepest identity.

This still needs further investigation.

But what if the forces that attacked them earlier were official departments?

Amuro Tooru was now in a bit of a predicament.

……Um?

suddenly.

Amuro Tooru, who had been lost in thought, was brought back to his senses.

It wasn't because we encountered an enemy, but because there was no enemy, to be precise.

The enemies are all gone.

The entire building was pitch black, without a single light. Amuro Tooru hadn't seen a single person since entering the building. Only thanks to his night vision goggles could he barely make out a few figures lying on the ground.

There is no doubt that this place has been attacked.

But who would do such a thing?

"...Ah, I see, I've already seen it."

Before Amuro Tooru could finish thinking, he suddenly heard a voice from above again.

Amuro Tooru's expression immediately changed. He quickly turned around, raised his gun, and aimed upwards. He then saw a figure standing on the second floor. Because of the light coming through the window, he could barely make out the figure. His pupils immediately contracted.

"You, how could..."

"Snapped."

After hanging up the phone, Sano, wearing a rye vest, closed his phone, then placed his hands on the railing, looked down at Amuro Tooru, and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Oh, I heard you've been telling everyone I'm dead?"

"..."

On the second listen, I finally recognized the very familiar voice.

Amuro Tooru's eyes widened as if they were copper bells.

Chapter 607, 610, Osaka Savior

Shock, astonishment, confusion, bewilderment—the shock Amuro Tooru felt at this moment was no less than when he first learned that boys and girls... cough cough cough, but after recovering a little...

Amuro Tooru still had some doubts that he had seen it wrong.

After all... Amuro Tooru can't be considered to have never experienced hallucinations, right?

"I'm talking to you, what do you want?"

Sano jumped straight down from the second floor.

The sound of him landing, and the gazes of the surrounding members, all told Amuro Tooru that the person in front of him was definitely not an illusion that only he could see... That would be even more outrageous, wouldn't it? He had come back to life?

It's come back to life?!

"you……"

Before Amuro Tooru could even ask, Sano retorted, "Hey, I'm not trying to be mean, but I kindly saved your life and even got grazed by a bullet, and all you did was turn around and drive off without even glancing at me, leaving me all alone there."

"How can you be so shameless?"

Amuro Tooru was stunned by the retort and pointed to himself: "I..."

"And you said you wouldn't care about me and just ran away, fine, but you even went back to spread rumors that I died there. What are you doing? Are you hoping I'll die there? So I'm doomed to die today?"

Sano continued speaking, driving Amuro Tooru's brain into a complete shutdown.

"...But I clearly saw that your neck was broken!"

Amuro Tooru ultimately refused to believe the "fact" that he had misjudged.

The key point is that it has such a big head, how could I possibly be mistaken!

Sano glanced at Amuro Tooru, then suddenly raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

“I heard from… Scotland that you seem to have experienced visual and auditory hallucinations. Have you had your mental state checked? Anyway, there are psychiatrists in the organization, and you personally invited them, right? You should have just said you were sick earlier. We are all fellow sufferers, and I won’t discriminate against you.”

Listening to Sano's words, which subtly conveyed a sense of "forgiveness" and "comfort."

Amuro Tooru's brain went blank once again.

...It wasn't a mistake, but rather, an illusion?

Now that you put it that way, this development does make sense... what a load of rubbish!

Amuro Tooru's face darkened, and he looked at Sano through gritted teeth, saying, "I already went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said I have absolutely no problems."

"That only shows that the doctor wasn't professional enough."

Sano's voice became more serious: "You need to know that hallucinations are a very serious matter, because they are more terrifying than physical symptoms. You might lose your life because of hallucinations, or you might cause someone else to lose their life because of hallucinations, and you might not even realize it in the end."

Amuro Tooru was silent for a brief moment.

...Actually, Amuro Tooru told a little lie. He did go to see a doctor, but unfortunately, the doctor didn't tell him anything after the examination.

Amuro Tooru is not sick.

Of course, it didn't say that Amuro Tooru was sick.

However, according to the brain examination, Amuro Tooru does not have an organic mental illness.
