Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

...Sano came over because he received a distress call from Ran Mouri?

The bombing, which was considered by the public to be highly suspicious of a terrorist attack, implicated Kogoro Mouri. It is said that his fingerprints were found in an important location at the bombing site, which led the police to come directly to his door.

...This is undoubtedly a frame-up.

Sano didn't even bother to consider whether it might be a misunderstanding; the problem was simply that...

Who is the mastermind behind framing and falsely accusing someone?

"senior!"

As soon as Sano entered, he saw the angry Mori father and daughter, as well as Conan with a furrowed brow. In addition, there were several public security officers led by Kazami Yuya, who were searching the office, and it was unclear what they were looking for.

"Do you have a search warrant?"

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Sano and scoffed, "Isn't that obvious? Without a search warrant, let alone whether they dare to do it, I wouldn't agree to it either!"

"The police can search even without a search warrant, do I need to tell you that?"

Sano raised an eyebrow and asked in return, while Kogoro Mori muttered, "Isn't that even more obvious?"

"But at least there is room for resistance."

Sano then looked at Ran Mouri, who was clutching her phone: "Did you call your mom?"

"what?"

Ran Mouri was taken aback and shook her head repeatedly: "I only gave one dozen to Senpai and Shinichi."

"What's the point of hiring us if you don't hire a lawyer?"

Reminded by Sano, Ran Mouri dazedly started making phone calls again.

But before he could finish the phone call, Kazami Yu had already made a new discovery.

"Detective Maori, we found the summit's schedule and a structural sketch of the international venue on your computer. What do you have to say about that?"

"What!?"

The Mori family was shocked, but before they could investigate further, Kazami Yuu, who was staring coldly at Kogoro Mori, said, "We now strongly suspect that you are the culprit in the bombing this morning. Please come back with us!"

"Wait, wait a minute!"

For a moment, neither Kogoro Mouri nor his daughter Ran Mouri could remain calm and frantically tried to deny and argue.

Kazami Yuya ignored him, handcuffed Mouri Kogoro, and walked out.

result.

"boom!"

Sano kicked the door shut and leaned against it, threatening to block passage, saying, "That's enough, isn't it? Even if you really found so-called evidence on his computer, it's possible that you used hacking techniques to leave it on his computer to deliberately frame him."

"possible?"

Kazami Yuya let out a sigh of relief: "Detective Sano, what you said may indeed be possible, but given the current situation, it is perfectly legal for us to take Detective Mori away. If you have any objections, please find your own channels for litigation."

"But the problem is that I now suspect that it was you police who framed him. Putting aside the hacking skills that left evidence on the computer, the fact that you were able to leave fingerprints at the scene makes you police too suspicious."

Sano lit a cigarette: "I heard that the person on duty when the bombing happened was from your Ministry of Public Security, right? It's one thing to lose so many teammates, but the key is that you lost a lot of face, so you're just grasping at straws in desperation?"

"Sano!"

Kazami Yuya suddenly became furious: "Do you know what you're saying?!"

"What, you're getting angry because I hit a nerve? How about I also accuse you of defamation and spreading rumors and arrest me too?"

Sano's expression was indifferent.

Kazami Yuya suddenly calmed down and said coldly, "I told you, you can file a lawsuit if you have any complaints, but now, I have to take him away."

"I already said, you can't take it with you."

Sano remained blocking the doorway: "You have a reasonable suspicion that Kogoro Mouri is the culprit, and I also have a reasonable suspicion that your evidence is fake. Why should your suspicion be the primary factor? Just because you're a police officer? Are you just bullying me because of your power?"

Kazami Yuya: "..."

Isn't this just pure sophistry?

Kazami Yuya was both angry and amused. He was a famous detective, after all, how could he be so shameless? But Sano was doing this, and he really didn't know what to do.

Should we resort to force?

...According to Kazami Yuya's understanding, Sano seems to genuinely not be afraid.

Given their strength at that time, they probably wouldn't have been able to defeat their own side without drawing their guns.

But if they pull out their guns, can they really open fire on Sano?

Kazami Yuya was in a terrible predicament.

Fortunately, before things could escalate further, Sano received a phone call.

It was Amuro Tooru.

"Hey."

A few seconds later, Sano glanced at Ran Mouri and finally stepped aside.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Kazami Yuya and the others escorted Mouri Kogoro away.

Despite her worried expression, Ran Mouri wasn't disappointed by Sano's actions. On the contrary, she felt relieved—after all, the previous development did seem a bit unreasonable. The key concern was that her senior might really go against the police again for her father's sake.

In the end, if Sano were to actually be arrested... the possibility of losing a key figure to break the deadlock is small, but the real problem is that Ran Mouri might be too ashamed to face anyone afterward.

Conan glanced at Ran Mouri, whose eyes were glazed over, gritted his teeth, and chased after her.

...If Sano couldn't stop it, Conan certainly knew he couldn't either.

Even though it's meaningless, Conan still wants to follow it.

As soon as Conan went downstairs, he saw Amuro Tooru watering flowers in front of the antique coffee shop. He was immediately distracted and stared at the medical cotton pad on the other man's face—Kazami Yuya also had one on his face.

"Mr. Amuro."

Conan leaned closer: "Does this have anything to do with you?"

Amuro Tooru replied without even glancing at Conan, "What?"

"..."

His behavior is exactly the same as Sano's usual routine, so it seems he can only rely on himself.

Conan turned around and ran back to Professor Agasa's house.

Just then, Amuro Tooru was about to get up and go back to the coffee shop when Sano came downstairs again.

"I gave you a way out and didn't stop you anymore, shouldn't you return the favor and explain yourself?"

Sano looked at Amuro Tooru and said this.

Amuro Tooru turned around and smiled: "What do you mean by giving me a way out or reciprocating? As my subordinate and employee, and as your boss, shouldn't it be a matter of course for you to accept my orders?"

"Oh?"

Sano lit another cigarette: "Since you put it that way, then I'll resign."

"……what?"

Amuro Tooru thought he had misheard.

“I’m resigning from the detective agency and the distillery, so you’re no longer my boss.”

Sano, with one hand in his pocket, gradually revealed an arrogant demeanor befitting a superior: "Even in your current situation working at the coffee shop, I am your boss. I am ordering you to explain the situation to me right now. Of course, you can choose to disobey orders and be fired or resign yourself. And even if we become true equals, I still have leverage over you. You probably don't want the liquor company to find out about your undercover identity as a public security officer, and ruin all your years of hard work, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru's eye twitched immediately.

Are you threatening me?

"Yes, so what?"

Sano's roguish expression left Amuro Tooru both surprised and speechless.

...Because according to Sano's past style, even if he was unwilling to follow orders.

They'll most likely just brush it off with a perfunctory attitude.

He was generally an obedient child, but now he was so openly defying and even rebelling, which naturally surprised Amuro Tooru.

In a daze, Amuro Tooru seemed to have returned to the beginning.

Sano was still Kuroshi, and his whole demeanor exuded an air of unruliness.

...Indeed, people don't change easily.

Amuro Tooru's expression turned serious: "I will not allow you to do that."

Chapter 664 Question 2: Does Japan also have a Zhang Yida?

"Oh my, that's impressive! You scared me to death! Tell me how you're going to stop me. Are you going to make up some false evidence like Kogoro Mouri did and arrest me and lock me up, or are you going to just detain me for a few days on charges of obstructing official business?"

Sano stretched out both hands and put his wrists together: "Come on, come on, handcuff me quickly."

Toru Amuro: "..."

"What, are you planning to silence me here?"

Seeing that Amuro Tooru didn't react, Sano simply stretched out his neck again.

"Okay, come on, I'll kill it for you, hurry up."

"..."

Amuro Tooru's blood pressure spiked instantly, and feeling utterly furious, he could only ask in a low voice, "No, why are you so sure that Kogoro Mouri is innocent and that his arrest must be the work of our Public Security Bureau?"

"You said I was sure, have you ever seen my certainty go wrong?"

Sano's rhetorical question left Amuro speechless.

...In other words, Sano's actions were not driven by personal feelings, but rather by reasons he himself felt were sufficient, or even evidence.

Considering Sano's abilities and personality.

Amuro Tooru fell silent for a moment... If the police fabricated evidence to frame the famous detective, it would be no less serious than his undercover identity being exposed.
