Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 230 229, Silencing Pisco

Neither Conan nor Haibara Ai noticed that they had wandered into Sano by chance.

Naturally, Sano could hear the whispers between the two people clearly.

"I think it's better to forget it."

Haihara Ai directly rejected Conan's proposal: "After all, this matter has nothing to do with him in the first place. It just got involved with him unintentionally. There is no need to involve him further."

Sano couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and was a little surprised by Haibara Ai's answer.

Sano originally thought that Haibara Ai would be the kind of self-interested type who would do whatever it takes to survive. Unexpectedly, his mentality has collapsed like this, and he actually has the mind to consider the safety of an unrelated person like himself.

.

Should I say that I underestimated her or overestimated her?

...Or should I be moved for a second or two first?

"Or are you not sure at all, that's why you want to seek Sano's help?"

Haibara Ai, who was successfully influenced by Conan, finally regained some energy and made a joke with her hands folded across her chest, which immediately made Conan's face darken.

"Who says I'm not sure? I already know who Pisco's target is, and I also called Officer Megure as Kudo Shinichi and asked the police to come over and take control of the situation. The reason why I wanted Sano to come over

, at most, it’s just to ensure that there won’t be any problems as much as possible.”

"Yeah."

Haibara Ai followed Conan's line of sight and looked at the man at the door who was surrounded by a group of reporters: "Congressman swallowed, I heard that he is currently involved in a bribery case. I see, if I say he is the most likely target of the organization, then

It can only be him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Officer Mumu led his team and pushed in the door, explaining that he had received a report that someone might want to assassinate Senator Tunkou.

Then the memorial service finally officially began, the lights in the hall were turned off, and the slideshow was played instead.

Tsk, you have to be closer to Haiyuan Ai, otherwise you may not be able to notice even if you are gone.

Um?

However, just when Sano was about to move, his eyes suddenly raised and turned to the dot of bright green above.

...what the hell?

"biu!"

With the blessing of the Superman effect, Sano clearly heard the sound of a gunshot that was obviously equipped with a silencer, and a flash of fire that was particularly eye-catching in the darkness. After colliding with the bright green above and creating a spark,

There was another huge roar and a faint scream.

"What's going on!?"

Amidst the exclamations, the lights in the conference hall were turned back on, and fell to the ground under the almost broken chandelier. It was true that a person was trapped inside.

It should be the Councilor who swallowed his mouth.

Sano did not move. Amidst the chaotic sounds of the police and guests, Sano quickly locked his eyes on Haibara Ai, who was pulling Conan, probably wanting to leave.

But the moment Hui Yuan Ai opened the door, the reporters squatting outside the door immediately sent out another burst of flash lights, forcing the two of them to retreat.

"It's really troublesome."

Sano watched Conan complain, and then turned his attention to an old man with slicked-back hair on the other side.

...Although there is no evidence, judging from the angle of the fire when the lights went out in the hall just now, the shot should have been fired by this old man.

To be more direct, this person should be his teammate, Pisco.

...To even accept an old man like this, is the organization really so short of people?

Sano waited quietly for a while, until after inspecting the scene and questioning several suspects, but still couldn't find a clue, Officer Megure could no longer control the situation, so he followed the flow of people and left the hall.

At the same time, Conan, who happened to pick up a purple handkerchief when the chandelier fell and suspected that it might be related to Pisco's murderous method, was checking the registration records of the guests at the memorial service at the front desk. Unexpectedly, another turn occurred.

He turned his head, only to find that Hui Yuan Ai's figure was no longer in front of him.

Damn it, could it be that he was discovered and taken away by Pisco?

Seeing that the guests were about to leave, Conan didn't have time to think too much, so he could only call Officer Megure again and tell him to intercept all the seven people who had received purple handkerchiefs among the guests.

Then Conan hurriedly ran outside the Abeido Hotel, came to Dr. Agasa's car, and tried to contact Haibara Ai through the glasses he gave him.

...And just when Conan contacted Haibara Ai urgently, Sano was watching Pisco lock the fake loli who had been stunned by him in a room.

Unlike that silly boy Conan, Sano certainly noticed that Haibara Ai was kidnapped.

Did this guy Pisco really find out that Haibara Ai is the shrunken Miyano Shiho? He doesn't know what kind of trouble will be caused in the future.

Sano glanced at Pisco, who for some unknown reason left after locking up Haibara Ai. He originally planned to maintain a wait-and-see strategy and follow Haibara Ai.

Unexpectedly, Gin called Sano the next second.

"Look for an opportunity to get rid of Pisco. I'll send his photo to your email."

...Does this have to be dealt with again?

What about the senior cadres with special status agreed upon?

...Oh, Gin didn’t seem to have said that, it was all my imagination.

But even so, Sano was still stunned for a while because of this instruction.

Although Sano had already guessed that Pisco was likely to have an accident today, but who would have thought that this accident would actually end him?

While thinking about it, Sano did not forget to respond verbally to Gin: "Hmm... is that one, Masuyama Kenzo?"

Since he had already suspected Pisco before, of course Sano had inquired about his identity.

Kenzo Masuyama is the chairman of a large automobile company and has a high social status.

When Sano directly reported Pisco's real name, Gin couldn't help but remain silent for a moment, but he didn't show much surprise.

After all, Sano itself is set in a high school detective.

...Although Gin seriously suspects that this guy often makes a fool of himself with nothing, this setting may be a little too watery and not worthy of its name, but there should still be a foundation.

So after saying "Yeah" as confirmation, Gin said that he would be there shortly, while Sano himself acted according to the situation. If he could get rid of Pisco, he would do it. If he couldn't, he would just wait quietly - because

The prerequisite for silencing them is not to make too much noise before Gin arrives.

"But then again, didn't you say before that you didn't need me to do anything, just treat it as a party?"

Listening to Sano's rather joking voice on the phone, a row of dots floated over Gin's head as he was driving.

...I always felt that although Sano's words sounded like a joke, there was something else hidden behind them.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

Gin was too lazy to guess Sano's thoughts and chose to get straight to the point.

When he heard that Gin had taken the bait, Sano couldn't help but curl up his lips: "You have to increase... the size."

"...If completed, it will be considered a new mission."

"Okay, just leave it to me."

Sano happily agreed and successfully obtained a new business for free.

But at the end of the phone call, Sano always felt that Gin was still suppressing something to say.

But since Gin didn't want to talk, Sano didn't bother to ask.

Sano originally thought that the risk factor for Miyano Shiho would most likely be Pisco.
