Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

"Yes, it's a horse!"

"What? You think I'm crazy? I'm telling the truth!"

"..."

Further ahead, a sports car is cruising around.

The car owner, who looked like a rich second-generation, had one hand on the car window and the other on the steering wheel, with a cigarette in his mouth, looking very relaxed.

"Om-"

A motorcycle, its speed leaving a shadow, brushed past us.

The driver paused for a moment, then grinned: "Oh, you actually dared to overtake me..."

"Da da da—"

The driver, who was just about to step on the gas, heard the noise, turned his head and saw only a horse's head. He was instantly stunned, but the next second he realized that it was a horse walking alongside his sports car. He looked up again.

The person above, Sano, is dressed in traditional clothing.

...Time travel?

Did I travel through time?

Without warning, the sports car veered off the road at the bend and crashed into a tree trunk.

But the car owner didn't care about anything else. He stuck out his bleeding head and looked at the back of the figure until it completely disappeared from sight, then silently took out his phone.

"Hello, is this 110...?"

Chapter 633 I'm hard of hearing, speak louder.

Genji's Hotaru and his Yoshitsune school were completely wiped out.

When Conan disguised himself as Heiji Hattori to go to the appointment, he did have his teammates, Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara, call the police so that they could arrive at the scene quickly.

Although it was ultimately too late.

The police who were called in... were actually just Shiratori Ninzaburo and Kogoro Mouri and the others, and they only caught a glimpse of the tail end of the chase.

According to the testimonies of on-site witnesses such as Kazuha Toyama and Conan.

The police officially closed the case of Genji Hotaru. As for Kurosawa, who killed hundreds of people, although it felt like he had overdone it in self-defense, they couldn't issue an arrest warrant on their own initiative since they couldn't find him. What happened in the end remains to be seen.

It's hard to say.

It will most likely fizzle out.

Unless one day they "catch" someone.

The lost Buddha statue at Sannoji Temple has been returned, and Kogoro Mouri's request has been completed.

Our Kyoto trip has come to an end, and the group is about to embark on its journey back to Tokyo.

It was only at this point that...

Sano then learned something he hadn't known before: the background of this case—Heiji Hattori's appearance in Kyoto wasn't something he had arranged with Conan.

Rather, it was because a member of the Genji clan who was killed in Kyoto was an old acquaintance of Hattori Heiji and had a good relationship with him, which is why he wanted to investigate the truth.

Next is that so-called white hair.

It's actually a white crystal bead embedded in the forehead of a Buddha statue.

Sano isn't sure if this thing itself has any value, but if the Buddha statue loses this thing, it's like a car losing its engine, and its value is drastically reduced.

That's probably why the Buddha statue hasn't been sold yet.

Of course, the key point is why this thing ended up in Hattori Heiji's hands.

As mentioned before, Kyoto and Osaka are very close.

Therefore, Heiji Hattori often came here to play when he was a child. Once, he happened to enter a room in Sannoji Temple, then fell and passed out.

When he regained consciousness, he saw a little girl in a kimono bouncing a ball and singing. Heiji Hattori was immediately smitten, but after chasing after her...

Heiji Hattori didn't see anyone, only the crystal bead on the ground, and assumed it was the little girl's lost bead. He kept it with him and even mentioned it in an interview with a magazine a few years ago.

They probably wanted to use this to find someone.

However, she ended up being targeted by Genji Hotaru, who had lost his white hairpin.

...Well, perhaps because of Hattori Heiji's father's status, no one dared to make a move against Genji Hotaru until this time when the opportunity arose while searching for the Buddha statue.

However, that's not the main point.

After listening to Conan's explanation, Sano looked at Hattori Heiji with a disdainful gaze, as if he were looking at a scoundrel, and said sarcastically.

"Sigh... So you still have a first love, how enviable. And before that, you actually had the nerve to tell me not to touch my Kazuha. Ugh, you scumbag, go to hell. What are you doing wasting other people's air? Please keep your distance from me from now on. Breathing the same air as you feels like it has polluted my lungs."

Sano spoke very quickly, and his expression became increasingly blank towards the end.

It's as if you're not looking at someone you know, but a bunch of sluts.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

In particular, Sano did not deliberately lower his voice, which attracted the attention of Ran Mouri and the other girls... At first glance, what he said might seem like he was simply standing up for Kazuha Toyama, but the problem is...

Kazuha Toyama himself knew about this.

Not only did she know, but she also discussed it with Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, and even complained about it.

It's a bit awkward to bring it up now, and I can't just pretend I didn't hear it or ignore it... Also, there's Sano's line, "My Kazuha."

How could Yuanshan and Ye know about this?

After the three girls hesitated and looked at each other, perhaps out of peacemaking or curiosity, they moved closer.

Hattori Heiji could only quickly pull Sano aside.

"Keep your voice down. That's not true. I did consider her my girlfriend before, but the problem is now... You understand? I want to find her, but it's just out of curiosity and to give myself some closure."

"Bullshit."

Sano pouted and said, "Since you haven't changed your mind, then I'll take on this trouble for you. Hey, Kazuha, want to go see a movie tonight?"

"what?"

Yuanshan and Ye were taken aback when they were asked this question as soon as they came over.

"Hey, Sano!"

Hattori Heiji grabbed Sano by the neck, glaring at him as he tried to stop him.

Unfortunately, Sano didn't hesitate at all and said directly, "Let's get married."

"..."

"???"

"!!!"

The scene became chaotic and noisy for the next few minutes.

However, no one really took Sano's words seriously.

After all, whether it was Sano's personal wish or the overall development of the situation, these words were clearly just said in anger, well, he was just angry himself.

It was also to spite Hattori Heiji.

In the end, it was Conan who stepped in and calmed Sano down.

"...Actually, Hattori himself didn't know that his first love was Kazuha. The evidence is that when he heard that little girl sing a Kyoto song, there was a line that was sung wrong. I had just heard Kazuha sing it before, and the wrong part was exactly the same. I originally planned to keep this a secret so that I could use it to tease him later, so don't worry about it."

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji was taken aback at first, then secretly glanced at Toyama Kazuha and revealed a very gratified smile before looking at Sano.

A hint of smugness crept into his smile.

"Well, that's all there is to it."

Sano brushed aside Heiji Hattori's hand that was patting his shoulder, his eyes still filled with disdain: "Heh, even if they're actually the same person, you're still unknowingly two-timing them. It's filthy and disgusting, wanting what you don't have while eyeing what you don't. You'd better watch out, or you might end up..."

After putting a hand on Hattori Heiji's shoulder, Sano's expression changed, becoming full of sinister intent, and he said, "I'm going to take Toyama Kazuha on your behalf."

Hattori Heiji's lips twitched.

"...Okay, okay, I know. I've been planning to do this for a while now, but I just haven't found the right time. Confessing your feelings isn't something you can just do casually. You have to find the best time."

"Oh?"

Sano smiled with interest, then put his arm around Hattori Heiji's neck: "What, now you don't deny that you like Kazuha anymore?"

Hattori Heiji blushed and muttered, "Noisy, so noisy."

"...He's clearly an old man, why is he pretending to be so arrogant in front of me?"

Sano let go, too lazy to pay any more attention to Hattori Heiji.

According to Sano's experience, people who say this usually don't make progress immediately, so when exactly will they make progress?

It's basically an unknown number.

Unless someone can give us a push.

However, influenced by this first love theme, Sano did not want to help.

Let it take its course.

On the way back after getting on the bus.

Conan couldn't help but ask Sano what he had done yesterday.

"Of course I have my own things to do."

"But you were offline the whole time and didn't help at all!"

Sano laughed and said, "First of all, what help do I have? Why should I help? Are you a good-for-nothing who has to rely on me for everything? Or do you really think of me as your father? Well, you should get your mother to divorce your father first."

Before Conan could speak, Sano continued, "Secondly, what do you mean I didn't help at all? If it weren't for me, would you still be sitting here?"

"what?"

Conan was confused and tilted his head: "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you survive because of that guy named Kurosawa Blade?"
