Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Fortunately, Shinichi Kudo was prepared. At the same moment he lunged forward, he shouted, "He has a gun and is going to commit suicide!" This prompted Ran Mouri and the lead police officer to immediately follow up. The three of them successfully subdued Makoto Yata before he could draw his gun.

But when Shinichi Kudo reached for the gun again, he found nothing.

"Ok??"

Shinichi Kudo was immediately dumbfounded. Where's the gun?!

"What are you doing? The gun is here."

Sano finally interjected, then waved the revolver in his hand at the crowd that had been drawn to him: "I'm not stupid. Do you think I would just do nothing and expose him if I knew he had a gun?"

"..."

Shinichi Kudo's lips twitched: "When did you take it?"

"I just did it on the spur of the moment when I pulled him out."

Sano casually tossed the gun to the lead policeman who frantically caught it.

Then he fell silent and continued to observe.

Everyone except Ueno was baffled as to how Sano had managed to steal the gun from Makoto Yata so easily and silently.

However, with the biggest threat eliminated, Makoto Yata was released.

After getting up, knowing that revenge and suicide were both hopeless, Makoto Yata readily admitted to impersonating someone else.

As for the purpose, it was, of course, to take revenge on Shinichi Kudo.

Faced with Makoto Yata's accusations, Shinichi Kudo revealed the truth of what happened back then—it was true that the village chief killed his wife, but the reason was not the benign tumor, but the accidental discovery of their blood types.

It's simply impossible to have a son with the same blood type.

...To put it bluntly, he was cuckolded, which is why he wanted to die together with her.

The valuables that disappeared from the house, the murderer's shoes, and the murder weapon were all tied to a bag by the village chief using the rope from his family's medals, and then thrown into a distant lake, because he had previously been an athlete in this field and thus was able to succeed.

Now that you put it that way, everything makes sense.

If I had to point out a problem, it would be that Sano personally felt the village chief's actions were a bit unnecessary, or rather, the reason for the disguise was a little far-fetched.

In order to prevent his son from discovering the truth.

Hmm... whatever, it doesn't matter anyway.

Furthermore, Sano didn't particularly understand Makoto Yata's behavior.

You said you want to get revenge on Shinichi Kudo, but there's no need to get plastic surgery, right?

What, to frame someone?

However, the only victim in the entire case, the female reporter, was also the one who mocked Makoto Uta, leading him to believe that his plastic surgery had been discovered.

That's how we got to this point.

In other words, there shouldn't have been any victims on this trip?

That would make no sense.

The idea that Makoto Yata carried a gun so he could commit suicide if the plan failed is even more absurd... But never mind, there are so many absurd things happening these days.

Not bad for this one.

Seeing that the police had brought up the irrefutable evidence of what happened back then, including the fact that he had been thrown into the lake, Makoto Uta was completely dumbfounded.

"Then why didn't you tell me!?"

Faced with Makoto Yata's questioning, Shiroyama sighed and said that he had already said that.

However, Makoto Yata was probably too traumatized at the time and didn't listen to a word.

"..."

This made Makoto Yada feel like the world was about to collapse.

Just because she didn't hear clearly once, she harbored hatred for a whole year and even spent half a year and a lot of money to change her appearance.

But now, it's meaningless?

Isn't this even more painful than killing yourself?

Just then, some relatively good news arrived.

The female reporter in the hospital woke up.

As long as the person is alive, no irreparable mistake has been made.

But seeing Makoto Yata's face full of pain, Sano's relaxed state gradually tensed up—it was about time for his turn.

"...Ha, that village chief is really an idiot. He worked hard for the village for half his life, and on the surface, he seemed to have a wife and children by his side, living a happy and fulfilling life. He even had the leisure to adopt a child who was not his own bloodline. But he never expected that the child he thought was his own bloodline was also a fake."

The sudden jeers froze Makoto Yata's expression.

Their gaze shifted to Ueno.

His eyes were filled with mockery and arrogance, making his voice as sharp as a knife.

"After killing his wife, he still thought about not letting the child who wasn't his own know the truth. It's really bizarre to live like that."

A surge of intense anger welled up inside me.

Makoto Yata really wanted to rush up, grab Ueno by the collar, punch him hard in the face, and then loudly demand why he said that.

But that anger swelled wildly in a single thought.

In the end, it simply evolved into...

"Kill this bastard!"

In this state, Makoto Yata was completely unaware of why no one else reacted when Ueno made a sarcastic remark.

His gaze locked on itself, and Makoto Yata noticed Ueno's bulging waist.

gun!

The mocking voices around him grew louder and louder until Makoto Uta could no longer hear them clearly. He only felt a buzzing sound, which made his rationality even more strained.

Until a certain moment, it completely collapsed.

"Shh!"

In a fit of extreme rage, Makoto Yata unleashed a power he had never possessed before, instantly closing in on the unprepared Ueno.

"Makoto!?"

No one expected that under such circumstances, Makoto Yata would suddenly strike, and his target would be Ueno, who had been completely inactive throughout.

On an instinctive reaction.

Ueno, of course, responded with all his might.

After realizing what was happening, Ueno held back a little – he was just an ordinary detective on the surface, and it would be too much of a stretch to be too professional in terms of skill.

not too good.

Not to mention that Makoto Yata is just an ordinary high school student.

Ueno felt confident that no matter what, things wouldn't go wrong.

Of course, in reality...

"Shh!"

Faced with Ueno's hand reaching for his throat, Makoto Yata seemed to have foreseen it, tilting his head to avoid it first. Then, before Ueno could dodge to the side again, he stepped in and hugged Ueno's waist.

"Depend on!"

After suffering two consecutive setbacks, Ueno immediately realized that he had been careless. He couldn't care less about anything else and went all out to throw Makoto Yata several meters away. But just as he was about to catch up and completely control his opponent, he realized that he had no choice but to continue.

As Makoto Yata turned around, he had already pointed the dark muzzle of his gun at Ueno.

...Is this...my own gun?

As his pupils contracted, a gunshot rang out.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

With a ferocious expression, Makoto Yata frantically pulled the trigger.

Blood blossoms burst forth from Ueno's chest.

...It's done.

Sano raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his brow—yes, this was his masterpiece.

Using the five senses to control Makoto Yata, we can bring out his life force.

Then he continued to manipulate the line of sight, making Makoto Yata focus on the opportunity to succeed.

Then, taking advantage of the fox-like eyes that had remained still but not broken since the eye contact with Makoto Yata last night, I enhanced the explosive agent to force him to take action.

In this way, Sano wouldn't even need to do anything to Ueno.

We can start with Makoto Yata alone.

Finally, the last thing is to manipulate the gaze again, synchronizing it with Sano's prediction of Ueno's "future," so that Makoto Yata, in addition to the temporary increase in all his attributes due to emotional fluctuations, can also demonstrate remarkable skills.

That's how they successfully captured Ueno.

Even as Ueno fell, Makoto Yata still did not stop.

It looked like it was planning to empty the magazine completely.

The others finally reacted and rushed over to try to stop Makoto Yata, but after noticing the commotion, he actually turned his gun around.

He aimed at Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri, who were charging ahead.

Oh wow.

This could be considered a bit of a mishap.

Makoto Yata's reaction was more intense than Sano had originally expected.

Get out of the way!

Sano pulled Ran Mouri back and took the lead.

At the same time, he was also the one being targeted.
