“Oh, did you send me a text message? I didn’t pay attention.”
Sano replied casually, his perfunctory attitude leaving Conan speechless. Then he snorted coldly, crossed his chest and said, “Forget it, I already know if you don’t reply.”
“Really? Congratulations.”
Sano clasped his ears, looking absent-minded.
Conan’s back molars suddenly grinded and creaked.
“…Jiang Guling, Neon Police, right?”
Conan was too lazy to talk nonsense and just threw out his answer sheet in an attempt to save face.
However this.
Sano tilted his neck in confusion: “Who is it?”
“Um??”
Conan looked at Sano blankly, unable to see the flaw, and was immediately confused.
“No, you really don’t know?”
“what do you know?”
Sano became more interested and continued to act with Conan.
Conan also tilted his neck in confusion: “Of course I’m talking about Amuro Toru, you guys don’t know his true identity, then why did you tell me so definitely before that he is definitely a good person? “
“Who knows, just a gut feeling.”
Sano smiled and said: “Why, did you go test him? You are so lucky not to be killed.”
Conan: “…”
Hey, hey, hey, the one who said Toru Amuro must be a good person earlier, wasn’t it you? ?
Now, what do you mean by saying you were lucky not to be killed? ?
Intuition… He is actually not sure at all, is he?
Conan had a dark face, but seeing that Sano was about to leave again, he hurriedly approached.
“Hey, Sano, do you know about the serial murders in the past two days?”
Sano paused and looked down at Conan: “What serial murder case?”
“Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, five people died in three places.”
Conan’s voice paused. Seeing that Sano had no intention of continuing the conversation, he could only continue depressedly and helplessly: “These five people know each other and are all members of the thief gang named Genjiying who became famous in their early years. This gang There are a total of eight people inside, and three of them are still alive. There is currently no way to identify them, so… it’s a bit complicated.”
A gang of thieves?
Speaking of the two words “Genji”, I feel inexplicably familiar.
never mind.
“For a case that spans several major regions, it should be very troublesome to go through the process.”
Sano glanced at Officer Megure and his group who had already loaded people into the car outside the construction site: “Officer Megure didn’t mention this matter immediately when he saw me.”
“Well, because of the extensive involvement, and the fact that the pressure from the police is not yet strong enough to require external help, it will be more troublesome to get involved now than before. However, it is only troublesome, not impossible. “
Conan nodded and said: “Uncle Maori received a commission. The client is in Kyoto, and it is also a temple. The most important thing is that this commission seems to be related to a Buddha statue that has disappeared. Do you want to see it?”
Sano blinked: “Is there a connection between the two?”
“… Kyoto itself is one of the places where the crime occurred. The key is the Buddha statue. The main target of Genji Ying’s gang of thieves is the Buddha statue art.”
Conan wondered: “Don’t you even know this?”
“Why should I know?”
Sano waved his hand and said, “I’m not you, keeping an eye on petty thefts all day long.”
“…What kind of petty theft? They are said to be a gang of thieves, but they have also killed people, especially the five people who are dead now. According to the on-site investigation, the people who did it are proficient in swordsmanship, archery, and can also Throwing knives.”
Conan sighed: “It sounds dangerous as hell.”
Upon hearing this, Sano’s eyes suddenly became extremely weird, and Yin Yang said: “You guy, do you actually know how to write the word danger?”
“ha?”
Conan stared: “What are you talking about!”
“Then do you think that organization is dangerous? In terms of technology, scale, equipment, and level, they are completely in two worlds.”
Sano shook his head: “Forget it, you won’t listen to me even if I say it, you won’t admit it even after I hear it, you won’t change it even if you admit it, and you won’t accept it even if it is changed, so what else can you say?”
Conan: “…???”
What is this guy talking about? He’s speaking Neon Language… No, he’s speaking Earth Language?
“Since it’s a commission to go to Kyoto, your sister Xiaolan will probably call me to ask if I’m going. Then we’ll see if I have time.”
After saying that, Sano ignored Conan and went home directly.
…Today’s case was solved very quickly, on the premise that Sano did not read the script in advance and forced himself to find the answer from the actors.
It’s the fastest time.
Well, although it is still cheating, it is a different cheat!
The old man’s psychological quality was not very good, so he confessed immediately after knowing that the body was found.
This saves a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, if you are really stubborn, interrogation, investigation and evidence collection will be very time-consuming when there is no irrefutable evidence that can directly prove that you committed murder.
……Um?
After opening the door of his house, Sano’s thoughts about flying into the universe gradually came back.
He looked at the untouched bowl in the sink.
After looking at the little girl in front of the TV and when he went out, her posture had not changed at all. She was still kneeling there, staring motionlessly at Masked Superman. Sano took a deep breath and walked up. Go.
“Hey, where did I ask you to wash the dishes?”
“Ah… go right away, go right away.”
The little girl replied without looking back.
…Sure enough, after getting along for a long time, your true nature will eventually be exposed?
After all, they are just children. No matter how sensible they are, they cannot be like adults… Even adults are still useless like Sano.
In addition, Sano is more indulgent because of some considerations after adoption.
If this continues and is allowed to grow on its own, the child might become useless when he grows up. Well… Sano thought for two seconds.
Then you should reveal your true nature a little bit.
“Piaji.”
Sano raised his hand and grabbed the little girl’s Tianling Gai, exhaling a cold breath.
“Go wash the dishes.”
There was no threat, no instruction, just a plain sentence.
But it made the little girl tremble, get up and wash the dishes without saying a word.
Sano looked on and nodded with satisfaction.
…Sure enough, the so-called family, father and daughter, still have to get along like this.
Things like coexisting peacefully all day long, being considerate to each other, and creating a perfect family will only exist in fantasy and have to return to reality.
“After washing the dishes, drag them down to the floor. I’ll take a nap and check when I wake up.”
“OK!”
But as soon as he finished speaking, Sano received another call from Mao Lilan.
As expected, it was as expected.
Mao Lilan invited Sano to go to Kyoto with him.
“Leaving tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
“Wait a moment.”
Sano turned to the little girl who was washing dishes and shouted: “Hey, I’m going to Kyoto tomorrow and may stay for a few days. Do you want to go together?”
“Why?”
The little girl turned around, raised her foamy hands and scratched her face, shook her head and said, “I don’t want to go. Masked Superman is currently being replayed. I want to watch all the episodes at home, and I also want to watch them all at home.” We made an agreement with Xiaopang and the others that we will go to the forest in the suburbs to play together in a few days.”
…It turned out to be a replay show. Sano said that he was playing this thing when he went out, and now that he is back home, he is still playing it.
Sano shook his head, no, that’s not the point now.
How do you feel? With the current state of the little girl, she will become a otaku who stays at home all day watching anime and shouts “two-spined ape, two-spined ape”… Although it’s okay to be a dead otaku. Bad, as far as this is concerned, Sano personally still has a say.
“Is it okay for you to stay at home alone for a few days?”
“Hmm… it should be fine, right?”
Since Sano doesn’t intend to continue playing that damn gentle father, he naturally won’t change his schedule and stay at home for the sake of the little girl… Of course, the main thing is that some things always have to be changed, and it won’t hurt to try.
Otherwise, if there was really a problem, Sano wouldn’t be bothered to listen to the little girl’s nonsense.
Just take them away by force.
“Leave the money in the same place. If you have any questions, just call me. If that doesn’t work, I’ll ask your sister Zizi to come and stay with you for a few days. You’re welcome to talk to her.”
After doing what he had to do, he said he would leave tomorrow, but Sano left directly.
Kyoto.
Based on Sano’s limited knowledge.
There are three places with the biggest neon lights: Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
Although considering various factors such as economics.
There are not many places that are on the same level below Tokyo.
But at least in Huang Mao’s report.
The only bad territory that has not yet been conquered is Kyoto.
Even though the Black Death can be said to have almost dominated the entire country, if they just want to, they can completely conquer Kyoto in a crushing manner.
But making noise like that is going too far.
The old routine is the same as the one in Osaka. Sano is going to lead his own special attack team and try it out personally… The old routine again, the identity and the Black Death Vest have to arrive in Kyoto one after another with a time difference.
Even if Sano’s two identities appear in Kyoto at different times, as long as they appear on the same trip, they will eventually attract attention.
But this small detail is insignificant compared to the core.
After calling Huang Mao, Sano looked sad.
“It’s time to dominate the country, kids.”
…
On the train from Tokyo to Kyoto.
Sano, Mori’s family of three, plus Suzuki Sonoko, formed a five-person team.
“Isn’t that tomboy here?”
Sano asked with some confusion: “Given your relationship, you should get her involved.”
“Oh, oh, senior, when you ask this, do you want Sera to come too?”
Suzuki Sonoko maintained her style as always.
“Ah.”
Sano twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Mao Lilan.
As a result, before the words could be spoken, Mao Lilan, who reacted first, covered her best friend’s mouth: “Okay, Yuanzi, you can shut up now.”
“…You are really going too far.”
Conan, who was sitting next to him, cast a disdainful look at Sano.
Sano replied calmly: “Why, do you think I’m bullying your wife?”
“old……”
Conan’s old face turned red, and he immediately stopped saying anything and went to enjoy himself secretly.
Sano finally focused his attention on a tightly wrapped figure in the same carriage, wearing a mask, hat, and a three-piece trench coat.
This man showed obvious hesitation after getting in the car and even avoided Sano.
If it is normal.
Then Sano probably regarded this person as someone related to this case.
Whether it’s positive or negative.
But Sano happened to recognize this guy.
His name is… Oh, it’s Suwa Yuuji, I guess. Sano has read his information.
I must have remembered correctly.
It’s no wonder that they are hiding from a few of them. After all, a guy who committed murder appears on the train together. It would not be fun if Sano or Mouri Kogoro, who were the investigators at the time, recognized him. .
It’s just that Sano doesn’t quite understand why this guy would go to Kyoto.
Is it also for this case?
…Although it is said that Bai Yi was founded specifically for Black Yi, it does not only contribute to this matter, otherwise, judging from the current progress.
It’s just a freeloader.
For example, Asai Narumi had been working all the time before.
However, based on the status of this case, it is not clear that the plague god is the central authority, and it is basically impossible to directly target Kyoto.
Of course, it is also possible that some intelligence or clues have been collected.
But if that were the case, it shouldn’t be Suwa Yuji alone.
Private matter?
After arriving in Kyoto, Sano immediately found an excuse to leave the team temporarily.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll go shopping by myself. When I get tired of shopping, I’ll join you.”
“Hey, senior…”
After saying that, Sano quickly blended into the crowd, not giving the two best friends a chance to say anything more. Mouri Kogoro curled his lips and said: “What the hell does that kid do? If you don’t want to meet the client later, he might steal my limelight.” .”
Conan looked at the direction Sano left and frowned slightly.
“Let’s go Conan.”
Mao Lilan’s urging reached his ears, and Conan immediately came to his senses and responded.
“coming.”
Conan and his party left the station and headed to the client’s location.
Sano found a place, switched his vest, put on a passerby’s hat, and followed the instructions of Daikoku who had been watching outside the station early.
Hanging far behind Suwa Yuuji.
Sano was really curious as to what this person did in Kyoto.
in addition.
Did Colen know that this guy came to Kyoto?
Even when he is not working on weekdays, he is a guy with such a special nature.
It’s impossible to just let it run around, right?
Hmm…that’s really curious.
While distracted, Sano had already followed Suwa Yuuji into a shop on the street.
“Antique shop?”
After looking up at the sign, Sano continued walking inside calmly.
Then I was surprised to find out.
The antiques in this antique shop are actually all swords and other things.
…Isn’t this a controlled item? Is it still allowed to be sold here?
Then he looked at Suwa Yuuji who was talking to the shop owner: “This Kikuchiyo is a famous sword. If you sincerely want it, then this is the price.”
Suwa Yuji didn’t hesitate at all.
“Swipe your card.”
…Oh, it seems that this guy mortgaged his ancestral sword to someone else and then resold it, which led to the murder.
Sano probably understood what was going on, but his eyes rested on a long knife on the wall that was completely black…well, it was black again.
“Boss, I want this!”
Sano didn’t hesitate at all and called the boss.
