Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Sano's flimsy defense had already been breached, and his position had been locked onto by the opponent, but that didn't matter. So what if they located him? It would take time for them to get there, while it would only take ten seconds for them to arrive...

The thought had just crossed my mind.

Sano heard a "click" sound, and the system crashed.

Not only the computer in front of Sano, but all the computers in the internet cafe went black at the same time, causing a commotion... They actually blew up their own house without even thinking, didn't they even bother to investigate first?

After a moment of surprise, Sano roughly understood what was going on.

They almost stole something, but chose to prioritize protecting it.

Is that not an exaggeration?

I was so focused on the operation that I overlooked this.

With a slightly regretful sigh, Sano got up and left.

...The police will surround this place soon. If we don't leave, we'll be eating chickens.

As for whether Sano will encounter any trouble after finding out this,

Sano changed his identity, concealed his appearance, and fabricated evidence.

If this can all be traced back to Sano.

There's nothing more to say, except to say it's awesome.

Chapter 663 Question 1: Do undercover agents have social security?

The next day.

A major news story made the front page of major newspapers.

Well, of course it has nothing to do with Sano. It's some kind of event that's going to be held in Japan, anyway, it's the venue for a very important event.

It got bombed.

It is said that quite a few police officers responsible for security duties also died.

However... there are quite a few people who doubt Sano, or rather, his ripped disguise.

Because during the post-incident investigation of the scene.

Police found no trace of explosives; it appeared to be an accident.

This leads to...

Skilled at using bombs, and mostly homemade special bombs, putting aside their appearance, the key is that their contents are difficult to detect and hard to spot. Rye is extremely suspicious... Damn it, he's just taking the blame for himself?

...Of course, this part wasn't mentioned openly.

But Sano has many intelligence channels, especially first-hand intelligence.

"Listen up, everyone. This case may involve the Black Organization, so we need to be deployed, but due to our identities, we can only act when the opportunity arises."

Koren, as the captain, is giving a speech.

Sano sat beside him, staring blankly at the documents in his hand.

...When Sano received the message from Koren that because of their identities, everyone in white had to come to this bar to sign in every day, he was quite dissatisfied, even though they could leave after signing in.

Although Sano's resistance lessened considerably when he heard that he would receive a substantial attendance bonus after signing in for all thirty days of the month, little did he know that the task would arrive on the very second day of his sign-in, and that it would involve him as well.

Toru Amuro, Yuya Kazami...

Sano frowned slightly after seeing two familiar names on the document.

It seems like it's the plague god's fault again.

The latter is one thing, but the former, an undercover agent, how could he participate in the normal activities of the public security? Is he afraid that his identity will not be exposed?

Sano unconsciously recalled a meme.

...The police didn't pay Amuro Tooru's social security contributions either, did they?

I wonder if the winery has tried to check. If the police didn't pay, wouldn't that be a violation of labor law? By the way, it seems like the white-clad workers didn't pay either.

Can I file a lawsuit myself?

"Alright, let's go!"

Sano snapped out of his daze and followed the group onto a large vehicle.

...It's a bit like a bus, but smaller and more upscale.

Whether viewed from the outside or the inside.

Could you call it a large van?

Anyway, it can hold about ten people, and there was still plenty of room for Sano and the others.

"Ah Ren, do you think this matter is really related to rye?"

Yuji Suwa was driving, while Koren clung to Narumi Asai, but happened to be in front of Sano. He turned around and asked a question, seemingly unintentionally.

Sano raised an eyebrow, roughly understanding what Corin was thinking.

"It's unlikely."

"Yeah."

Koren nodded thoughtfully: "May I ask why you think that way?"

There is no reason.

"Too."

After chuckling softly, Corren fell silent.

Then, the car drove all the way to... the Mouri Detective Agency.

"...How did I get here?"

Maya Tachibana glanced out the window and asked with some surprise, "If we're on standby, shouldn't we go to the Metropolitan Police Department or the crime scene?"

How would I know?

Corren shrugged. "That's the instruction from above."

"The Mouri Detective Agency... could it be Kogoro Mouri?"

Yuji Suwa glanced outside and noticed something that caught his attention.

And this was like flipping a switch.

"Detective Mouri, huh? I really miss him."

Director Ochiai sighed, and Asai Narumi in the back row was taken aback: "Old Director, you also know Detective Mouri... Could it be that he arrested you?"

"That's not it."

Director Ochiai scratched the back of his head and denied it with a smile.

Satoshi Maeda then interjected, "Is Detective Mouri's daughter Ran Mouri?"

"..."

A brief silence fell over the car.

Koren looked around in bewilderment: "Wait, what's going on? How come you're all involved with this Detective Mori? Are you all acquaintances?"

"...Just in case, I'll say it first."

Yuji Suwa said in a muffled voice, "I was arrested by Detective Sano."

"Ah, me too."

As soon as Maeda Satoshi finished speaking, Director Ochiai raised his hand with a smile: "Me too."

...Bullshit, I'm the same way!

An old geezer is actually making memes? Wait, did he catch this guy himself?

Sano began to doubt his own memories.

While it's true that I made the arrest myself, it was done under the guise of a black hat.

……should?

A burst of chatter followed.

Koren roughly understood the situation: everyone present either knew Kogoro Mouri or Shinichiro Sano, or even knew both of them and were related to them.

special?

It was just me, and I didn't know anyone.

...What are you doing, ostracizing and isolating yourself?

Well, actually it doesn't matter to the others, but Asai Narumi knows them all.

This left Koren feeling somewhat dejected.

"Alright, let's get down to business. It's hard to say exactly how long we'll be on standby. Everyone will take turns keeping watch and receiving orders. The rest of you will rest in the car and not move around. Take turns getting food from the car. If you need to use the restroom, stay hidden."

Koren forcefully steered the conversation back on track.

This brought back the doubts of Tachibana Maya and the others.

"...So why are you keeping an eye on this side?"

"Didn't I say I didn't know?"

Kolen looked impatient, but Sano already knew why.

"Boom! Buzz—Squeak—"

A Harley-Davidson sped up and came to a sudden stop downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency. After getting off the bike, the rider immediately went upstairs. Asai Narumi, who was relatively familiar with the person, recognized him at a glance: "Isn't that Sano?"

"Ah, it really is true."

Satoshi Maeda and Yuji Suwa, who were personally escorted in by Sano, were both peeking around and looking around: "But he came to Detective Mouri's house in such a hurry, something must have happened. Could it be that there is some particularly important clue about this bombing case that has fallen into Detective Mouri's hands?"

"It must be him."

Sano finally spoke, drawing the attention of the others, but he didn't continue speaking, instead focusing his attention on the identity of the person going upstairs.
