Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 188 187, What the elder sister has, the younger sister must also have!

...It’s impossible to sneak out openly by acting cute after becoming smaller, right?

While Sano was thinking, Miyano Shiho, who was staggering out of the alley, holding on to the wall, also saw him.

...Miyanoshi kept the medicine because he wanted to commit suicide, but he didn't expect that after taking the medicine, his body would change.

It reminds me of the high school detective who took the medicine but did not really confirm his death, and also found the disappearance of childhood clothes in the other person's house, and the case of the shrinkage of a white mouse that he accidentally discovered once.

Miyano Shiho could only lament the uncertainty of fate.

And since he failed to die, Miyano Shiho certainly didn't want to give up just like that.

With the help of his shrunken body, Miyano Shiho successfully escaped from the shackles of the iron chains and escaped from the research institute through the ventilation opening of the prison room.

As the most important research institute within the organization, there are many surveillance systems in Qinggang Biotechnology, but at the same time, precisely because Qinggang Biotechnology is so important, those monitoring systems are usually not turned on and are just decorations.

…After all, which criminal would be stupid enough to leave evidence of his crime?

That kind of thing is just a matter of scaring unsuspecting outsiders. How could Miyano Shiho, as a resident code member of the Aooka Research Institute, not know this?

So now that Miyano Shiho has escaped from the prison cell, it will be difficult to be discovered in a short period of time.

But this doesn't mean that Miyano Shiho is out of danger.

Again, research institutes are very important.

And the reason why the institute is important is not because of Miyano Shiho, or the projects she is responsible for are important?

Gin must have arranged for peripheral members to go to the prison cell from time to time to "check" on his condition.

When the next time he checks, the news that Miyano Shiho is missing will immediately reach Gin's ears.

That's when the real trouble comes.

Members of the organization who are good at tracking will launch a frantic search for Miyano Shiho.

During this period, any clues that Miyano Shiho finds will be killed by the opponent, and once found, the result will only be death.

And during Miyano Shiho's escape, all outsiders who came into contact with him will also be silenced by the organization.

Considering the huge power of the organization, Miyano Shiho did not plan to call the police and seek official help.

Because firstly, this is useless in the eyes of Miyano Shiho, and secondly, it will kill too many innocent lives.

To sum up, the only teammate candidate that Miyano Shiho can think of who shares the same hatred with him and who should not be easily solved is one——

It is very possible that Kudo Shinichi has shrunk his body like himself.

Although at present, it is impossible for Kudo Shinichi to stay at home anymore, but since Miyano Shiho has no clue, plus he has just shrunk his body and is constantly exposed to the rain, his head seems to have a fever.

I can only take one step at a time, and first go to the other party’s home to have a look...

This is what Miyano Shiho originally thought.

He just looked at the black figure standing across the street looking at him after he walked out of the alley.

Miyano Shiho's heart tightened unconsciously.

Although his vision was unbalanced due to the blur of consciousness and the obstruction of the rain, Miyano Shiho could still roughly see that the man was wearing a dark coat and holding a black long-handled umbrella, facing her and staring at her.

Did it come so quickly? Sure enough, it still doesn’t work...

Miyano Shiho's pupils shrank slightly, and the calmness engraved in her bones tried to keep her brain functioning, but at the same time, strong fear had begun to grow in her heart. The two contradictory existences were mutually exclusive, causing her already cold hands and feet to tremble continuously.

After taking a step instinctively, Miyano Shiho finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground.

Um?

Why did it fall?

Sano, who was standing across the road, tilted his neck when he saw this.

To be honest, if Miyano Shiho's shrinkage was within Sano's expectation, then the other party's ability to escape was unexpected.

According to Sano's thinking, if Miyano Shiho shrunk, he would be a vital experimental subject material, so he would definitely not be killed.

The meaning of its existence is probably to make it possible for the organization to have a deeper connection with Conan, and Miyano Shiho will either turn into a high-level villain, or he will clear his name and join the protagonist group.

But if he appeared in front of Conan now, it would be equivalent to clearing his name.

...Of course, the above makes no difference to Sano.

If anything, the difference is that even if Sano ignores Miyano Shiho now, there is a high probability that the opponent will be saved by Conan "accidentally" and then form a team.

so……

Go home and sleep!

However, as soon as Sano looked away from the fallen Miyano Shiho and took the first step, the system issued a task trigger prompt.

[Please ensure that Haiyuan Ai survives. You will receive 30 strengthening points upon completion. The remaining time of the mission is - 1:59:59].

...Who is Haihara Ai?

Sano glanced at the mission target on the system map, which was just across the road from him.

Oh, it turns out to be the vest name of the shrunken Miyano Shiho.

However, Miyano Shiho has just shrunk, so why does he even have a vest name?

The system "predicted the future" again...or maybe it peeked at the script.

So if I were taken away by Miyano Shiho now and then forcibly given a different name, would it still be Haibara Ai in the next related mission?

Having said that, when the last mission was triggered, Sano thought he would be asked to rescue Miyano Shiho.

After all, it is a normal routine to save your sister after saving your sister...even though the result is not the same, and even though it has appeared again now.

Then simply let him rescue Miyano Shiho from the beginning, wouldn't it save trouble?

...If you want Miyano Shiho's shrinkage to become a fait accompli, you can also ask in the mission to rescue him and force-feed him medicine.

Sano touched his chin and pondered for two seconds. When he realized that a certain fake lolita was still lying on the cold ground in the rain, he walked to the other side of the road and picked up Miyano...Haihara Ai.

"琐利!"

Unexpectedly, because the white coat was soaked in too much rain and the owner changed from Miyano Shiho to Haibara Ai, when Sano lifted it like this, the man immediately slipped out like a loach.

"..."

Sano instantly switched his vest, made sure no one was watching around him, and breathed a sigh of relief - if someone saw this scene, he might not be able to explain clearly even if he had a hundred mouths.

Sighing helplessly, Sano bent down again, wrapped Haiyuan Ai in a white coat, and carried her on his shoulders to go home.

During this period, Sano had been observing the surroundings intentionally or unintentionally, making sure that there were no peripheral members of the organization.

...Although judging from the rewards of the mission, Sano does not think that the difficulty of this mission will be high enough to require him to confront the organization, but it is always right to be cautious.

Sure enough, the journey was uneventful and Sano returned home safely.

After placing the "baggage" on the ground, Sano found that the task was still not completed - which meant that the factors that threatened Haibara Ai's life safety had not yet been resolved.

Could it be that some members of the organization found their way here?

Sano frowned slightly. He paid attention to surveillance and pedestrians on the way back. It was raining now, so logically it should be impossible.

...Then I have to guard this guy until the mission time limit ends, right?

It's also possible that this fake loli is planning to commit suicide just like her sister, so she's going to be a big liar again?

It doesn't seem right either.

Since the other party has escaped from the research institute, it proves that the other party still wants to live. How could he still seek death?

...Forget it, if you have so many thoughts about what to do, just give it a try and see if it works.

Sano thought for two seconds, then pulled Haihara Ai's head out of his white coat, and then two more big-mouthed men greeted him.

...My sister has had her own exclusive wake-up call service, so how could my sister not have it?

Sano always pays attention to fairness when doing things, and he will never be partial!

What?

They had beaten each other before when they were in the research institute, and they had beaten each other more and harder than Miyano Akemi?

...Then at worst, we can just fill it in for Miyano Akemi later.

Sano looked at Haihara Ai who had been slapped twice but still had no reaction. He raised his eyebrows and said, oh, you are still sleeping soundly?

After two more slaps, Sano finally realized something was wrong.

It seems that this fake loli is not unable to wake up, but unable to wake up.

After taking a closer look, you can see that Haiyuan Ai's face is very red...not the kind of red that comes from being beaten, but...naturally red, should there be such a word, right?

However, Haihara Ai's lips were extremely pale, and her breathing was hot and disordered. Sano touched her forehead, which was so hot that she could almost fry a poached egg.

...So, it is indeed possible that Haihara Ai will die due to her own factors, but not because she wants to commit suicide or seek death, but because her body wants to kill her?

Sano fell silent. The problem was that he didn't know how to solve the current situation.

Logically speaking, a fever seems to need to be cooled down - this is how it is played in TV dramas, but in Sano's impression, when he has a fever, he seems to be forced to wrap himself in a quilt, saying that he can only get better by sweating.

...That’s why I say I hate children!

After sighing, Sano could only make a phone call to the hospital and asked how to deal with the child's fever. If possible, sending the child to the hospital is of course the best way to deal with it, but this may attract the attention of the organization and bring the child to the hospital.

There is no need to bother, and given the task time limit, it is not too late.

After getting the answer from the hospital, Sano immediately started processing.

After a lot of fussing, Sano finally got stuck before the mission time limit expired and successfully received the completion prompt.

At the same time, this also means that Hui Yuan Ai is out of the risk of death.

"Damn it, the nanny is not that tired. It seems that even giving birth to a daughter is not that good."

Looking at Haibara Ai who was lying on her bed, her breathing calmed down, Sano who was sitting on the ground leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette and fell into a daze.

...By the way, does this count as picking up another lolita and taking it home?

Although it is fake.

But what should I do next? Do I really want to keep this fake loli?

...Although this eldest lady belongs to the puppet position in the organization, her level of importance is not low. She should be the kind of person who has nothing to do with her.

What's more, now that my body has become smaller, I can't take care of myself, eat, drink, and relieve myself, and I can't make money and have to spend money. If I keep it, I can only use it as a mascot, which is a waste of blood.

But it doesn't seem like reporting the child as lost... I might as well leave it to the Mori Office. Anyway, that guy Conan will try his best to protect this teammate.

Sano sucked on the cigarette butt and suddenly pulled out the system to strengthen it.

Counting the thirty strengthening points of Miyano Shiho's vest, Haibara Ai, it is just enough for one strengthening.

Especially Sano feels good now.

Maybe we can get a double yolk egg, which is A grade twice in a row?

Seven hundred strengthening points have passed - although as the number of strengthening increases, more and more strengthening points are required, but the rewards of recent tasks seem to be also increasing, which is quite consistent with the routine.

"Randomly strengthening, congratulations to the host's sunglasses for being strengthened, the strengthening is successful..."

Sano: "..."

seriously?

I just complained about Vodka wearing sunglasses all day long, and in the blink of an eye I got some sunglasses for myself.

Are you becoming more and more able to live a healthy life?

While Sano was complaining in his mind, he once again dug out a pair of round-frame sunglasses from the pile of dusty jewelry in the corner, and a picture appeared in front of his eyes.

Reinforcement item name: Sniper sunglasses.

Grade:B.

Effect:

1. Sniper (using the sniper scope after wearing the sunglasses can automatically simulate the ballistic trajectory).

2. Fatal blow (used on the designated target, the effective range of the next bullet can be doubled).

Restrictions: When the sniper effect takes effect, the user will enter a blind state, and the length of the simulated ballistic trajectory is only 75% of the effective range; the fatal strike effect cannot be used within 72 hours after each use.

Use again.

Note: I am a killer without emotions.

Sano finished scanning the details of the reinforcer's effects and touched his chin thoughtfully.

Judging from the effect alone, this reinforcement seems to be a bit ineffective, but if you look into it more deeply, it seems to be very effective, and specific experiments need to be carried out.

The only problem that people are more concerned about may be the unknown reason in the restrictions...the blind state.

This reminded Sano of a certain... evil pen strengthening object, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

...Although one of the two triggers is active, the other seems to be passive and can be stopped at any time.

Just saying that.

Starting as a Demoman, then an Assassin and now a Sniper – what’s next?

Black hand???

Just as Zuo Ye was muttering in his mind, Haibara Ai on the side seemed to be gradually waking up, moaning with unknown meaning from his mouth.

After folding and putting away his sunglasses, Sano turned his attention to Haibara Ai.

"you're awake."

Haiyuan Ai opened her eyes and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling for a while, then sat up and looked at Sano behind her.

The moment the pitch-black coat came into view, Haiyuan Ai's pupils shrank, and fear surged into her heart again, causing her breathing to become rapid.

"Who are you?"

Hui Yuan Ai asked subconsciously, her voice full of nervousness and vigilance.

Sano looked at Haibara Ai, and it was not until a few seconds later that he suddenly asked in "shock": "What's wrong with you, my child, I am your father, have you forgotten?"

"...What the hell??"

Haiyuan blinked his eyes in confusion.

"I said I am your father, kid!"

Sano covered his chest with "heartbreaking pain": "Dad knows that he is very poor and can't give you good things, but even so, you can't run away from home. Now it's better, you still have amnesia.

What a crime!"

Haibara Ai:"……"

This man seems to have some serious illness.

...Wait a minute, are you really sick?

Because the child was lost or died, and he became insane, and now he happened to meet an unconscious "child" on the street, and he really thought it was his own child, and then he picked it up again?

...Looking up at the face in front of him again, Haiyuan Ai suddenly felt ashamed of his wild imagination just now.

He's only seventeen or eighteen years old at most. He's about the same age as himself. Who's the father of this guy?

I was confused myself, but I actually believed the other person for a few seconds.

Hui Yuan Ai curled his lips inwardly, but his tense nerves relaxed a little, because looking at the other party's performance, it really didn't look like the wolves and tigers of the organization...

Her thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and Haihara Ai's eyes fell on the black pistol next to the pillow.

……gun?

Hui Yuan Ai's pupils shrank slightly, and his mood, which had just calmed down for a moment, suddenly changed drastically.

Sano also noticed something was wrong with Haihara Ai, followed the other person's line of sight, and roughly understood what was going on, then walked up to the bedside.

Sensing Sano's approach, Haibara Ai almost instinctively picked up the gun, pointed it in front and shouted: "Don't move!"

Sano paused and looked at Haihara Ai, who was breathing rapidly, in silence for a few seconds.

"I didn't have a choice before."

"But now, I want to be a good person."

Hearing Sano's deep words, Haihara Ai was stunned for a moment. What does this mean?

Although Haiyuan Ai was unable to think deeply due to various factors, just listening to these words, a good person who was forced to join organized crime quickly emerged in her mind. She struggled in pain for a long time.

Finally, he finally wakes up and decides to betray.

...So, maybe this person is really from the organization, or maybe he really knows his identity, but he doesn't intend to hand him over, but is preparing to join forces to fight against the organization?

After Sano saw the brief confusion in Haihara Ai's eyes, a thoughtful look appeared again, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart.

Why is there no reaction at all? It’s really no fun to play jokes alone.

Sano was not interested in teasing the other person anymore and stepped closer again. This also made Haihara Ai come back to his senses instantly and became nervous again: "I told you not to move!"

However, Sano ignored Haibara Ai and continued to approach.

Seeing this, Haiyuan Ai's heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster and faster, until the distance between the two sides was less than two meters, she finally pulled the trigger.

"Bata!"

With a crisp sound, Sano had already arrived in front of Haibara Ai. He calmly took the pistol under the other's dull eyes and blew out the flames at the muzzle.

"If a child is playing with fire, be careful about wetting the bed at night."
