Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 274 273, Black Death will never take off his mask

At the same time, Conan and Mao Lilan arrived at the lobby with the found Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Kogoro.

However, due to the power outage midway, several people acted extremely cautiously and moved forward very quietly.

Especially since the intensive gunshots and screams could be heard in the distance before, several people thought that an extremely dangerous and fierce battle was going on here.

I walked more carefully.

Unexpectedly, the gunfire stopped as soon as they came over.

What's going on...the battle is over?

Which side won?

Conan and the others carefully poked their heads out, but saw nothing else but two black figures still standing, and... two pairs of eyes emitting red light.

Obviously they can't see the specific situation clearly, but even just looking at those two pairs of eyes makes people want to retreat unconsciously.

"Bata."

Suddenly, the lights that went out came on again.

Only then did everyone see clearly the appearance of the two figures in the hall.

Black Mask, and... Black Death!

Is this guy really here too?

Conan's face showed a little surprise, but it was not too surprising. The three people next to him were also the same...after all, they had just been saved by Sano's Black Death Vest.

It makes sense to save this side after saving that side.

Of course, the mood of the few people cannot be said to be as calm as water. After all, so many gun-wielding killers were easily solved by two people. It is really a bit...

Appalling.

But this time the danger has finally been lifted.

It makes people feel relieved and relieved for the time being.

Unlike the people on Conan's side, Toru Amuro and the others on the other side were completely shocked by the scene in front of them after the lights came on.

"Black...death?"

Looking at the figure wearing a special attack suit next to Black Mask, Toru Amuro and Kaito Kuroba were surprised at the same time, so that because of this sudden appearance, the second person who was killing everyone with Black Mask turned out to be a bad guy.

The teenager, who was thus shocked and several others became even more shocked.

"He is a black death!?"

...In fact, several people have basically recognized that the other party is a member of the Black Death from the flamboyant special attack uniform. Then they think of Hei Death, the strongest of the Black Death, and there is nothing surprising. But there is a problem.

The reason is that they have already received the answer before they even start to associate.

So it is inevitable that you will feel surprised.

Only Pu Si Qinglan, after being shocked, suddenly asked Nakajima Sukezo in doubt: "What is Black Death?"

Nakajima Sukezo's breath was stagnant: "You don't even know what Black Death is...what the hell were you so shocked just now?"

Pu Siqinglan scratched the back of his head: "Because you all had very shocked expressions just now. If I don't follow suit, I will feel unsocial."

Nakajima Sukezo: "..."

You are so gregarious, you are a cold-blooded killer, do you want to be so weird!?

"...Officer, Black Death has appeared, should we take him back?"

Takagi Wataru, who was lying under Officer Megure, raised his head and asked.

Officer Megure tilted his head back and gave Takagi Wataru an incredible look——

Are you so out of your mind?

Even the killer gang that they didn't dare to risk their lives in the past was defeated as easily as chickens and dogs in front of the other party, and now they are actually saying that they want to arrest the other party?

Why, you feel that there are not enough people lying on the ground, and you want to cover them all, right?

...Of course, the main reason why Officer Memu didn't want to confront Heishi was that he felt from the bottom of his heart that the other party was fundamentally a good person.

After all, Black Death has done a lot of good deeds before and after. Even if he sometimes goes a little too far, it is only for those criminals.

I have never heard of the other party hurting innocent people.

Due to emotions and reasons, we should choose to turn a blind eye at this time, right?

"This guy, it ended so quickly, it seems like I'm exhausted..."

Kuroba Kaito was still muttering... After all, compared with the time when he and "Black Mask" temporarily formed a team to deal with the first wave of killers, this wave of temporary teaming between the two was obviously much stronger.

How much comes.

Doesn't this just mean that Kuroba Kaito is far behind his opponent?

...Although even Kuroba Kaito himself thinks that he is not as good at fighting as Black Death, and as a Phantom Thief, there is no need to be better at fighting than him.

But this is two different things from saving face!

Sano didn't know how much of a psychological change the "onlookers" had experienced due to the appearance of his Black Death Vest, because he was busy finishing the damage.

Of course, it's not the kind of last hit that kills anyone, but knocking out the killer who still has the possibility of counterattack.

This group of killers has not completely lost their ability to fight.

After all, the situation was urgent, and Sano couldn't force everyone to be knocked unconscious or killed.

Many of them suffered fractures due to Sano's blows, or were hit hard on key parts, temporarily losing their fighting power. Some were hit by stray bullets for the same reason.

Although these killers are all lying on the ground, or unable to get up, grunting, or struggling, wailing and screaming, if they get used to it, it is not completely impossible to fight back with firearms.

After all the killers had finished mending their swords, the onlookers from both ends gathered around.

...Time seems to have gone back to about half an hour ago, when the first wave of killers had just been eliminated.

Even the atmosphere is so similar and embarrassingly complicated.

But compared with the last time when an accident occurred before any progress could be made, there will be no accidents this time, so someone has to step up and solve the problem.

Toru Amuro took the initiative to start this, but he chose to approach it from the side, intending to give priority to solving the problems he was concerned about.

"Where's Sano?"

Toru Amuro first looked at Conan and asked.

……Um?

Isn’t this the boss of Sano Detective Agency? Why is he here, still wearing waiter’s clothes?

Conan and the others who knew Toru Amuro didn't discover the existence of this guy until now. They were all a little confused, but they still answered the other party's question first: "...he ran away in the middle. Although I tried to look for it just now, I couldn't find it."

Not found."

Amuro Toru nodded without any surprise, and then looked at Sano's black death vest: "This little brother, you look familiar. You look a lot like a friend of mine. Can you please take off your mask and let me

Take a look?"

This is a straight shot.

Toru Amuro will come to Osaka with only one purpose, to determine whether Sano is still a black man or not. If not, then try his best to find out the other party's true identity.

...Although it doesn't seem cost-effective to travel so far and waste so much time and energy for such a "little thing".

But for Toru Amuro, this trivial matter has a crucial issue.

That is, is Sano "lying" to himself?

This is not to say that Toru Amuro must be completely honest with Sano and not hide anything, but this matter is the only one related to the fact that the other party may have discovered his true identity or is suspicious.

Otherwise, Toru Amuro really couldn't understand why Sano wanted to get rid of his "Black Death" status here.

Because Toru Amuro is actually an undercover agent of the police, as a black death, Sano may be punished, and therefore, he has to make himself no longer a black death in the eyes of the other party.

After putting himself into Sano's perspective, Toru Amuro could think of only this reason for the other party's lies.

And if this is really the case, Toru Amuro's current situation is undoubtedly very dangerous.

That's why Toru Amuro traveled thousands of miles to Osaka to find the truth between Sano and Black Death.

Once it is confirmed that Sano is a black man, Toru Amuro will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization...or choose to have a showdown with the opponent.

Of course, Toru Amuro wouldn't want to get into that situation if possible.

As for the former, Toru Amuro has been undercover for many years and finally climbed to his current position. Naturally, he doesn't want to let go easily and waste all his efforts.

As for the latter, as an undercover agent in an extremely dangerous organization, the fewer people who know Toru Amuro's true identity, the better. This is not only for his own safety, but also for the safety of the other party.

...As early as last night, Toru Amuro had already approached several bad boys in Osaka. After a friendly exchange, he learned from the other party that Hei Shi had asked them to disguise themselves as gangsters at four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

Passers-by are scattered within an area.

That area happens to be near the warehouse where the Egg of Memories is hidden.

This undoubtedly aggravated Tohru Amuro's suspicion of Sano.

...Especially now that I saw Hei Shi's... half face, Toru Amuro became even more convinced.

Isn’t this Sano!?

Don’t think you can’t recognize yourself if you cover the lower half of your face!

Show your cards quickly, Sano!

Faced with Toru Amuro's request, Sano responded calmly: "Black Death will never take off his mask."

...Ahem, no, I said it wrong.

Before Toru Amuro could react, Sano raised his chin slightly and said with an almost provocative cold tone and eyes: "If I don't pick it off, what can you do to me?"

Although taking off the mask directly and revealing a face that is completely different from the real person would help Sano eliminate suspicion.

But this kind of "submissive" behavior feels too deliberate when applied to Heishi.

It is better to let the boss work hard to find out the "truth" on his own.

Otherwise, it would be too unfair for Conan, who had been kicked in the face earlier to find out the "truth" and almost spit it out, wouldn't it?

Sano's behavior undoubtedly made the atmosphere more tense.

It's just that Toru Amuro hasn't made the next move, but Sano's clone has already noticed something is wrong.

...a killer has woken up.

Of course, this is not because Sano was so bad that he couldn't even make up for the last hit.

Because the guy who was awake was a killer in the first wave who was knocked unconscious by Kuroba Kaito with a tranquilizer bomb.
