Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Look at the two photos on the table again.

Next to the two corpses, there is a word "death" written in blood.

Sera Masumi and Conan began to discuss.

Sano listened and didn't express any opinion... Mainly because he had no opinion to express. There were too few clues at present. Even if he could analyze something, it wouldn't be as much as what Conan and Zhen could analyze.

"On the hands of that corpse, there were only blood stains on the palm and the base of the fingers, but not on the fingertips, and there were no traces that seemed to be stained and then wiped off...and this It’s too redundant, and it’s basically completely impossible. In other words, ninety-nine point nine percent of this word “death” was not left by the deceased.”

"It was deliberately left by the murderer, especially according to what the only witness in that case, a kindergarten child, said when he just saw the body in the park, there was no word "death" next to it, and it was even more... That's it... I'm afraid that guy was hiding secretly next to him until the child left, and then he left this behind."

"..."

After a short summary, Conan looked at Sano next to him.

"Sano, what do you...think?"

Sano came to his senses and said calmly: "I don't want to."

Conan: "?"

Conan failed to get a positive response from Sano, which was what Conan expected, but he changed the question this time, but the answer was still so far-fetched.

Isn't that a little too much?

At this moment, Akai Shuichi finally spoke and intervened.

"According to newspaper reports about the case that year, after the kindergarten teachers learned about the condition of the deceased from the child, they immediately went to the park to pick up the body. In other words, the bloody word "death" , in fact, it may have been there for a long time, but it was blocked by the corpse, so that the child could not find it at the first time."

"So, when we met the deceased, we did see that he was being shaken by the colleagues who came out to find him. It may be the same."

Mao Lilan touched his chin and said.

"Then why not just call the police and ask."

Conan gives a way to get to the next level.

"Officer Takagi should be responsible for handling today's case."

After chattering for a while, several people called Takagi Shita, and then got a very unexpected answer - today's case has been closed.

It was handled as a theft case.

This surprised a few people.

"Even if it's not a murder case, it shouldn't be treated as theft. What's going on?"

Facing Conan's relentless pursuit of the truth, Takagi Wataru on the other end was in a bit of a hurry...because Officer Megure was calling him to work overtime in the field.

So after a while of rush.

Conan and the others couldn't get any practical answers.

"...The case ten years ago seemed to have been concluded very quickly."

Akai Shuichi held the newspaper from ten years ago and touched his chin: "The police officers in charge of that case are Megure Jusan and Mouri Kogoro."

"Is dad involved too?"

Mao Lilan felt a little hesitant... If this happened, she would begin to wonder if her old father was doing some random things...

"Damn, what on earth is going on?"

Sera Masumi scratched his head in annoyance, while Sano next to him planned to go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette.

The next second, he received the task of finding the truth.

...There was no movement until just now. Sano thought it wouldn't happen, but it happened anyway. What kind of triggering method does this crappy thing have?

A little knowledge is annoying enough.

Sano also scratched his head and returned to the topic, how to solve this case?

There isn't even a suspect, but it's not like those decryption-type cases.

How on earth can one be faster than Conan?

Sano thought for a moment.

Wait a minute, now that the case that year has been closed, maybe the truth has actually come out, but I don’t know it, and I am not willing to believe the truth. And the process of the truth, for some reasons, cannot be disclosed to the public. Speaking in front of me, this is why Kudo Yusaku chose to quit midway, so that it has reached a dead end now?

... Sano didn't know if what he thought was right, but he had a way to verify it.

Is what I think right?

"I'm going to use the bathroom."

Sano waved his hand and left first. He found a random place and called Officer Megure. When he saw that it was his number, he immediately connected the phone: "Hey, Brother Sano, it's rare that you can actually do this." Call me, why, is there anything you need my help with?"

Sano ignored the yin and yang aura faintly revealed in the depths of Officer Megure's words.

He directly asked about the case that year and the status of today's case.

When Officer Megure heard that it was a question about the case, he became more serious and explained.

So, after hanging up the phone, Sano returned to the living room.

Conan has disappeared, but Mao Lilan is making a call on his mobile phone.

"Who are you calling?"

Hearing Sano's voice, Suzuki Sonoko, who was smiling obscenely next to Mao Lilan and eavesdropping attentively, immediately turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Senior, you just happened to be back. Come here quickly, there is something good to see. Yes, Xiaolan is about to confess her love to that bastard Shinichi!"

"What watch..."

Mao Lilan's face flushed and she patted Suzuki Sonoko. Considering that she was on the phone, she couldn't speak too directly. She could only say to Sano: "That's it. I plan to ask Shinichi about these two cases." view."

...No wonder Conan is not here.

Sano reached for Mao Lilan's mobile phone: "That's no need. I already know why these two cases were classified as thefts."

"……What?"

Hearing this, the trio of best friends and "Kudo Shinichi" on the phone.

They were all obviously stunned for a moment.

"Are you serious, you already know the truth?"

Conan was the most anxious and asked Sano over the phone.

"Um."

After Sano opened his mouth, he found it troublesome to repeat it, so he simply took out his mobile phone and played the recording of the call he just had with Officer Megure.

According to Officer Megure, the words "death" in these two cases are actually not man-made... Of course they are not supernatural phenomena, they are just the product of accidental circumstances - as long as a few coins are arranged in a fixed order. Let go, and then let the blood flow through, and such a word "death" will be formed.

Kudo Yusaku back then had already seen this at the first sight.

...Of course, there are some differences between the two cases.

The formation of the word "death" in today's case was due to coins, but last time.

It's because of the candy that the kid put down.

Because the child grew up in a temple, he knew the blessing method of placing coins next to the body, but he had no money on him, so he used candy instead.

A flower is also placed along with it, which is also one of the important factors in forming the word "death".

Today it's smoke.

Just considering the condition of the child who was the first person to discover the body, making this known to the public may cause unnecessary controversy.

Kudo Yusaku then chose to quit midway.

However, Kudo Yusaku still told Officer Megure the truth, but asked him not to tell the reporter everything, just to express this conclusion.

This statement is very reasonable.

But……

After Conan was silent on the phone for a long time, he finally asked in disbelief.

"You actually went directly to ask Officer Megure the truth!??"

Sano raised his eyebrows and said mockingly: "Who said you can't ask? It's you. Your father was the one who solved the case. But you don't believe it yourself. It's okay if you don't believe it. You don't know how to ask. Simply..."

Conan: "..."

I have to admit, Conan also felt that he was a bit over the top just now.

But even if there is nothing wrong with such "copying homework" behavior, it should not be shown off so proudly, or even used to laugh at oneself!

You are too thick-skinned! ?

However, Sano's ridicule was not over yet.

"It would be a mistake not to copy the answer if there is one. It's like if there hadn't been that case ten years ago, then today's case would probably give Officer Memu a headache for a whole day. Even Officer Memu can figure it out, but you are still here This tangle, as expected, a brat is a brat, you still have to practice again."

After speaking, Sano glanced at Akai Shuichi who was quietly moving out with his peripheral vision, and threw the phone directly back to Mao Lilan: "Okay, the case is over, you can do whatever you want. .”

"ah?"

Mao Lilan caught the phone and her eyes began to flicker.

Then, under the constant instigation of Suzuki Sonoko, the cp leader, Mao Lilan finally approached the limit, and her heart gradually emerged... and then shrank back instantly: "...Yes, it was Mr. Subaru who asked me to bring you a message! "

"..."

Suzuki Sonoko's expression froze and she curled her lips in disappointment.

I just don’t know what Conan on the other end is thinking right now.

It's probably a combination of relaxation and a little disappointment.

Then what Mao Lilan said was what Akai Shuichi asked her to bring to "Kudo Shinichi".

Sano didn't understand either, but what he knew was this.

The root cause of Mao Lilan's phone call seemed to be instigated by Akai Shuichi.

……What's happening here?

Sano looked thoughtfully in the direction Akai Shuichi left.

Could it be that these two guys have been secretly forming a team for such a long time, but they haven't even made any progress in exchanging information to the point where they can reveal their identities?

...What two men of God.

Forget about Conan, it's not the first time, but even Shuichi Akai is stupid, it's really something beyond Sano's imagination.

When the phone hung up, Sano said hello and prepared to leave.

...If we don't withdraw, the phone call from Gin urging us to go to work will come again.

Then when Sano was about to go out, Conan caught up with him.

"It's so dangerous, it seems like my identity has been known to that guy."

Looking at Conan who looked "fearful", Sano twitched his lips.

"What, what will happen if he finds out?"

Conan was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a while, but couldn't hold back a fart.

I can't say... It's possible that Shuichi Akai, like Sano, is playing the "I don't think you want Maorilan to know your true identity" kind of thing.

"...Speaking of which, Sano, are you familiar with your boss named Toru Amuro?"

Sano looked at Conan who suddenly asked a question and narrowed his eyes: "If you fart, let it go."

"It's not a big deal. It's just that that guy has been coming to our place recently, and he even became a disciple of that confused uncle. You may not know this, so I just want to know more about him. For example... you What do you think of him? Is it possible that he is a bad person in disguise?"

Conan muttered something, and Sano heard it.

Tohru Amuro became a disciple of Kogoro Mori.

…When did this happen? Why didn’t you mention it to yourself?

Amuro Tohru should know that Sano once claimed to be Mouri Kogoro's apprentice, and with that uncle's temperament, he would not accept a trouble for no reason unless it was beneficial and not small.

Toru Amuro didn't even come to me to clear things up?

Could it be that what happened to Azusa Enomoto last time made Toru Amuro feel that his words were useless, so he simply stopped trying to speak again?

Sano touched his chin and said this.

Can I barely be considered this guy's senior brother now?

...Second Junior Brother? ?

Looking at Sano who was deep in thought as he walked, Conan couldn't help but tugged on his sleeve and asked, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Sano came to his senses and opened Conan's hand in disgust: "It's none of your business."

Conan: "..."

"I'm not familiar with Toru Amuro, it's just an ordinary and simple money transaction relationship. If you are curious about him, go see it yourself and don't bother me here."

After saying that, Sano quickened his pace.

Conan was left blinking in confusion... a simple money transaction relationship.

This is not unreasonable.

But why does it feel so strange? ?

On the other hand, Sano, on the way to work, remembered something because of Conan's operation, took out his mobile phone and called Huang Mao.

Not long after hanging up the phone, a text message was sent.

When I opened it, there was a picture attached, which was the information of a police officer named Ida Hang - "I can't find his information, but according to the information we got, among the police academy students of that year, There is indeed such a dark-skinned and blond student who looks like a foreign student. We have confirmed this verbally from multiple people, but they have almost forgotten his specific information. Only one person, although he put it I forgot his last name, but I still remember his first name...it's zero."

zero?

Sano narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

I finally caught your real tail, good boss, second junior brother.

...Sano was able to catch Toru Amuro's tail.

It's a chance.

Just... yesterday or the day before yesterday, Xiao Hei, who was in the process of expanding his territory, suddenly contacted Sano and said that he learned from a tamed pet dog that Toru Amuro had gone to the tomb. Sweeping graves in the garden.

Because it was Sano who asked for special care.

Xiao Hei naturally pays special attention to even such a trivial matter.

It might be an important clue.

Although outside of that, since Xiao Hei has not seen it with his own eyes, ordinary pets may recognize the wrong person just based on the "portraits" and "characteristics" that have been forcibly instilled.

But Xiao Hei still took a look in person... so as not to waste Sano's time anymore.

And the owner of that tomb is this man named Date Hang.
