Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

In just one second, Sano threw out at least a dozen spider silk threads.

Its rate of fire is comparable to that of a regular submachine gun.

Of course, the main reason is that there were only a few people on the other side. If there were ten or more, Sano couldn't guarantee that he could finish his maneuvers before the other side fired... Of course, there are no "ifs" in reality, and the fact is that it happened.

Then, before anyone around could react...

Suddenly, Sano used another spider web to catch the light machine gun that the burly man, whose eyes were covered by the web, had dropped on the ground, and casually pulled it into his hand.

"Da da da da!!"

Instead of immediately firing a follow-up shot to prevent a mistake, Sano turned his gun around and fired a burst of bullets towards the entrance of the watchtower.

...After the old man's rambling, the remaining pirates had already fled down.

We arrived at the entrance at just the right moment.

However, when they went down to look first, the old man had already firmly controlled the situation, so the remaining pirates were completely unprepared. As a result, they were met with a barrage of bullets as soon as they popped up. It is conceivable that they had no chance to react and take the full load of bullets.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Amidst the splattering of blood, a dozen or so pirates were riddled with bullets on the spot.

Sano then turned his gun back to the people around him and fired more shots.

In the end, only the old man was left.

"...So, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

Sano looked at the old man and asked, "On the surface, Leon is the mastermind, but behind him is Rishi, and even deeper is the old man. It's a mastermind within a mastermind."

Sano refused to believe that another black hand could be used against him.

Sure enough, the old man panicked.

His previously smug and cheerful expression turned angry and fearful.

"Don't underestimate me, you brat!!"

The old man suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed Sano in the face, but to be honest...

It is not meaningful.

Judging from his movements, he seems quite professional. Perhaps this old man was a trained fighter when he was young, but now, he is simply old and frail.

The speed was so slow that even a child could dodge it, and the force was probably not much either. Whether Sano dodged or not probably wouldn't make much difference, but considering his identity as the mastermind behind the two incidents, he decided to give him some face.

At the very least, an opponent should be given the respect they deserve.

After shooting out a spider silk from his right hand that stuck to the palm of his left hand, Sano stepped forward, dodging the short sword while wrapping the spider silk around the old man's neck. He then flipped over to straighten his posture and crossed his hands forward.

"Pfft!"

Propelled by the gushing blood, a human head flew into the sky.

Blood dripped from the bright red spider silk between Sano's hands.

From the moment Sano made his move until the transformation ended, less than ten seconds had passed, and then another ten seconds or so had passed since the enemies on both sides were defeated. In total, it only took half a minute.

The whole farce has come to an end.

Meanwhile, Conan and the others watched from the sidelines.

The feeling right now is like having just watched the climax of a movie, but this climax came so suddenly and quickly that it felt like I'd already seen it.

It seems like I didn't watch it at all.

So, this should be the end of it, and all that's left is to wrap things up... Suddenly, the group of people remembered the most important thing to deal with right now, and almost simultaneously turned to look at Kurosawa.

But upon looking at it, Conan, Kaito Kuroba, and the others were stunned again.

Because the person who was originally almost like a corpse has now stood up again.

Not only did it stand up, but it was also completely unharmed.

That's right, there wasn't a single injury, and even their clothes were completely clean.

...Damn it, in the short time it took to look, this person went and healed all the injuries, even took the time to give him a bath and change his clothes?

Is this reasonable?

"promise."

Before anyone could react, a dark shadow flew overhead and was caught by Kurosawa.

...It's that doll.

Conan and the others turned to look at Sano again, and sure enough, he had returned to his original appearance, with a cigarette in his hand, and said, "You owe me a favor."

"understood."

After waving his hand, Kurosawa jumped straight off the observation deck.

...This scene seems strangely familiar.

Do people dressed in black prefer this way of exiting?

Conan didn't even bother to look again, wondering if jumping from such a height would kill him. He turned his head and stared straight at Sano, not asking why Kurosawa had suddenly, well, transformed into a living person, nor what the familiar way the two had been talking was all about. He just focused on the key point and asked, "Sano-nii, how did you transform just now?"

Sano exhaled a puff of smoke, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I learned it from you."

"……what?"

Seeing Conan's confused look, Sano made up a story: "Didn't you just grab that thing and shout 'transform'? If you did that, there must be some logic to it, right? It's definitely better than me doing it blindly."

Conan frowned as he processed Sano's words.

At first glance, it seems quite reasonable, but upon closer inspection, it is full of flaws.

Conan, somewhat amused and exasperated, nodded: "Alright, alright, if that's really the case, why did you succeed with the same method but I didn't?"

"nonsense."

Sano rolled his eyes: "How can a child like you fit into adult clothes?"

"..."

Conan was stunned.

This statement sounds a bit far-fetched at first glance, but upon closer inspection... it's actually quite reasonable.

It's certainly outrageous, but it also makes sense!

A child can't possibly lift a light machine gun that's meant for an adult, can he?

Not to mention it's an outfit.

Tsk, Sano just had to return that thing, so there was no way to try again... But if that's true, then Black Mask really isn't just Kurozawa. But whether this is the only set of equipment available is something Conan has to ask for now.

Unable to refute any further, Conan fell into deep thought.

With the matter finally resolved, Sano felt much more relaxed... The part that made him feel the most flustered throughout the whole affair, besides being hit by two shells, was actually the live broadcast camera on the helicopter. He had initially thought it was nothing important, but when he was about to take action, he suddenly realized that it had become a problem that needed to be solved.

Otherwise, what the hell would Kurosawa do now that he's paralyzed?

While it's true that a righteous person who is seriously injured while carrying out justice should be sent to the hospital for treatment first, and if we really examine it, Kurosawa doesn't have any major problems. Besides, there's more than one Black Mask.

But that would still be a bit troublesome.

We need to use different vests for the rescue, and the same goes for equipment recovery... Even with injuries like that, whether we can be rescued in time is a big question.

There's no guarantee that I'll have to find another excuse to leave later.

Fortunately, Sano had another physical evil spirit, which was originally assigned to keep watch along the way, infiltrate the TV station's network system, causing the live broadcast to be temporarily interrupted for a few seconds. Meanwhile, everyone's attention was focused on him, which allowed him to successfully switch identities... Of course, he could do that.

Fortunately, the alias Kurosawa was actually the real Kurosawa, and the physical evil spirit happened to have the hacker keyboard, otherwise they would have had to wait for a rescue later.

After throwing away and stomping out his cigarette, Sano looked at the remaining pirates who were still exchanging fire with the police in the distance... He didn't intend to get involved there anymore.

If you're looking for trouble, this live stream will bring you this.

However, Sano felt that he would most likely ignore it.

……

Tokyo.

Because of the serious incident, although it was resolved safely, Suzuki Sonoko still rushed back by plane overnight for safety reasons, while Kyogoku Makoto had to continue his global training plan.

In addition, there's Kaito Kuroba.

Even though he wasn't a law-abiding citizen, Kaito Kuroba couldn't possibly claim that he flew back from Singapore using a hang glider, so naturally he had to continue pretending to be Shinichi Kudo and return by plane as openly as he had gone.

But unexpectedly...

As soon as he stepped out of the airport, or more accurately, as he got off the plane and entered the airport, Kaito Kuroba received a warm welcome from his father-in-law... Ran Mouri seemed to have already figured out that this kid was an imposter, because Shinichi Kudo would never call her father "uncle," and given his personality and style, he would never have failed to show up during the hotel battle, so there must be something wrong with him.

...After all that commotion, I wonder if Kaito Kuroba, who experienced a different kind of being hunted in a foreign land, was deeply moved.

Of course, Kaito Kuroba eventually managed to escape.

Conan, who returned hidden in his suitcase just like when he left, took the opportunity to transform back into his original form... but unfortunately, when he reappeared...

Sano was nowhere to be seen.

...That guy left without even saying goodbye. He's not like Kidd.

Are you afraid of being caught by someone if you walk too slowly?

Conan was wondering what was going on when his phone rang.

He took it out and saw the caller ID: Kudo Yusaku.

Please take leave tomorrow

These are the last few chapters. Let's organize our thoughts and decide whether it's a happy ending or a sad ending.

Chapter 696 Red Team Meeting

Conan wasn't quite sure why his cheapskate father, who had abandoned his son and gone abroad with his wife to travel around, would suddenly call him, since they had never contacted each other by phone before.

Oh, not entirely none.

But Conan contacted them all on his own initiative, and he had something to ask them.
