Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 320 319, Shuichi Akai’s “picking up”

Toru Amuro lit a cigarette with a righteous look on his face.

Don't ask Toru Amuro why he didn't start the car and leave immediately. He just wanted to take a rest, and it was definitely not because his legs were weak.

…

At night, Sano, who had just completed his mission, was walking home.

It's not that Sano doesn't want to take a taxi.

It's just that sometimes you really can't find a taxi, especially in areas with few people.

So I can only walk.

This is also the reason why Sano took out the Harley, but that car can only be used in his true identity.

Otherwise, he might get into unnecessary trouble. Previously, Sano would give up using the eMule as his main body and instead take taxis all the time. In addition to the fact that the fare can be reimbursed, this is also a factor.

And those who get weapons from unofficial channels are naturally not good people.

...It seemed to be the same development when Sano left school during the day and bumped into Judy at the school gate.

And the reason why Shuichi Akai would say that even though he knew it was impossible, he just wanted to find an excuse to keep the other person.

...If you know that others have evil intentions and still remain calm, then there is only one possibility.

In fact, Shuichi Akai had no hope at all whether "New Rye" would agree to go drinking with him, because let alone a criminal, even an ordinary person was suddenly shouted at by a stranger.

If you drink together, you will most likely feel strange and be wary.

Just when Sano, who had finished muttering in his mind, was feeling confused, Shuichi Akai, who was opposite him, had something else in his mind.

Sure enough, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

Why the hell did we hit him again?

Or is this a real “collision”?

...Although Akai Shuichi thought yesterday that he and the other party were quite destined, it was more of a self-entertainment joke, and it was based on the fact that he would definitely confront the organization in the future, and he would naturally follow him.

It's just based on contact with the other party.

There is a high probability that they are criminals or even members of criminal organizations.

Akai Shuichi was moved in his heart and twitched his lips: "We bumped into each other at the back door of the bar a few days ago. I apologized to you, have you forgotten?"

So the layout leads you to take the bait?

Akai Shuichi's brain was running rapidly, and the next second he felt that something was not right.

This time is similar to Judy's time, both parties are "active".

The person in front of me might be another organization that the organization doesn't deal with, or a lone wolf who has a grudge against the organization and plans to start with Sano.

However, what surprised Akai Shuichi was that after "New Rye" glanced at him up and down, there was no sign of anything amiss.

"...Should I recognize you?"

Because judging from the character of the other party’s behavior that is currently known, he shouldn’t be the person to do this.

Sano originally thought that the other party was dissatisfied with him and left directly, wanting him to apologize. Unexpectedly, the other party actually asked in surprise: "Don't you recognize me?"

Did this guy really not recognize himself? No, maybe it's because he doesn't know himself at all.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I'm destined to be with you."

Sano raised his eyebrows, feeling that this scene seemed a bit familiar.

Therefore, even though the organization has always been based on the creed of keeping a low profile and being mysterious, and most of the tasks Sano participated in were based on the premise of "killing people", there are still many people who have been in the underground world for many years and are well-informed, and know that there is someone like him.

a person's existence.

Akai Shuichi tried to make his attitude look friendly: "Would you like to have a drink together?"

I don’t know when we will meet again next time.

Then it just depends on whose fist is stronger.

...What the hell, what's going on these days? Why do you keep bumping into people?

Looking up again, I found that the person I bumped into was a tall man wearing a black coat and a knitted hat.

As a cadre member of the organization, Sano has not been in office for too long, but he has done a lot of tasks. In particular, he is relatively high-profile and has obvious "characteristics".

Only in this way can contact be produced, isn't it?

For a guy who has inherited his codename, even if he is a newcomer, it is probably impossible for him to say that he has never heard of himself, let alone seen his photos.

Could it be that the other party has actually recognized me, but he is not sure about winning, so he deliberately pretends not to recognize him so as to give himself a chance to "get close" to the other party.

...Different from Sano's previous two collisions, Judy apologized directly last time, so there was no need to pay more attention. But last time, he was in a passive state and was the one who was hit, so the other party should apologize.

.

So just follow the normal development, there is no need to pay attention to anything else.

Akai Shuichi quickly raised his guard, touched the gun, and prepared for battle.

Even if he really encountered that one in 10,000 chance, Sano didn't think the other party could survive the previous few days.

Annoying.

Sano, who was stopped, paused and turned around: "Is something wrong?"

Um?

Why does this guy look so familiar?

After all, there isn't really any miraculous "fate" between the two.

If it's not gay or bad, then there is only one possibility.

He just continued to move forward and passed by Shuichi Akai.

In addition, this may also be an opportunity.

But it's not a big problem, because the most important thing is that the other party recognizes him... Strictly speaking, he should recognize his rye vest.

...Across from me, Akai Shuichi still looked dazed.

In this case, it at least means that the person recognized by the other party is indeed him, and not his original person who has no memory at all.

So you have to say that a guy who walks in the underground world will feel that he is special just because he bumps into someone twice, and even invites them to drink.

It's best if someone is willing to take the blame and apologize. If neither party is willing to speak up, then it doesn't matter. Just treat it as if it never happened. If either party is unhappy and doesn't want to, just let it go.

Sano, who was grumbling in his heart, had just turned the corner when he bumped into another figure.

"...Oh, it's you."

But it would be inconvenient to prepare transportation for each vest.

Sano was still quite curious as to what the other party wanted to do.

But it doesn't matter.

Um?

You actually agreed?

Akai Shuichi is not a fool. Of course he can think of things that Sano can think of.

Who would have thought that we would meet again the next day?

Especially now, it is different from the two previous collisions with each other. The first time Akai Shuichi was wearing a mask, and the second time he did not collide head-on. Only now, he neither wore a mask nor turned around at all.

space.

Of course, Sano would not think that the guy opposite was actually gay and wanted to strike up a conversation with him just like Judy.

After all, he is a new cadre. Even though he has inherited his code name, he has not been exposed to many things, so it is not surprising.

Sano originally just wanted to go home, so he chose the middle one, but it seemed that the other party didn't think so.

This person is approaching me deliberately and has evil intentions towards me... Well, maybe it would be better to have an ulterior motive.

So Sano said: "There's no need to drink. I'm not yet underage. I can help you with dinner, but I have to agree first that you have to treat me."

Sano was even more surprised than the other person. Although he did feel that the other person looked familiar, he couldn't remember when and where he had seen him.

If he recognized him, he should have drawn his gun directly.

As he spoke, Akai Shuichi raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, leaving only the upper half of his face exposed.

All in all, in Akai Shuichi's opinion, Shinrye would agree to his "drink date"... Now it's a dinner date, which is very unreasonable.

Anyway, Sano would not believe such evil writing.

Sano finally understood why he felt that the other person looked familiar: "So, something happened?"

That means the other party also has evil intentions.

"...please wait a moment."

The last time Sano saw the other party was at the back door of the bar where the weapons dealer opened the door, so there was a high probability that the other party was not just there to drink, but to buy guns or other weapons.

Of course, that information might just be false. The other party is actually very cautious and as steady as an old dog, but they just pretend to be arrogant on the surface.

The purpose is to paralyze the enemy.

Another possibility is that although the opponent recognizes him, he does not intend to take action directly because of his confidence in his own abilities, but to see what his enemy wants to do, or even though he does not recognize him, he does not intend to take action directly.

For the same reason as above, I wanted to see what I, a guy with evil intentions, wanted to do.

But regardless of whether the other party recognizes him or not, at least one thing Akai Shuichi can be sure of is this.
