Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 286 285, Gin: Is this guy fooling himself?

"...Grass, is this okay?"

Now, not to mention Sano, even the other people next to him couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

"Woof woof woof!"

Xiao Hei immediately rushed to Sano and started circling around him.

This also truly proves that what Sano said just now that he was "familiar with this dog" was not a lie.

Finally, I didn't lose my shame to my family.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Xiao Hei bit Sano's trousers and pulled him in the direction where he came from, still saying "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo dontdot."

"Meat, meat, meat..."

In fact, Xiao Hei's first cry also means "肉肉肉" in Sano's ears.

It's just that Sano originally thought that this guy was hungry and wanted meat from him, but looking at the current situation, it didn't seem to be the case.

Sano hesitated for a second, then chose to obey Xiaohei's pull and came to the place where it was digging the soil before.

"Meat, meat, meat!"

Xiao Hei repeated the word "meat" to Sano.

...Do you want to help dig the soil yourself?

Sano frowned and looked at the small hole in the grass that had been dug by Xiao Hei. But this guy kept shouting "meat", what did he mean?

Is there meat underneath?

But how could there be meat under the grass... Could it be?

If Sano was just an ordinary person, surrounded by ordinary people, and lived in an ordinary environment, of course he wouldn't think too much about it.

The problem is that none of this is unusual.

So according to normal development, if there is really meat underneath...

A bad premonition is coming.

Sano narrowed his eyes. As a stray animal, Xiao Hei naturally cannot eat anything fresh. Therefore, the meat in its mouth is most likely meat that has been thrown away for a long time and has rotted away.

...and there is no mission, so it’s better not to cause trouble for yourself.

"Okay, stop eating. I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Sano dragged Xiao Hei, who started digging the soil again, to leave, but unfortunately... he couldn't pull him away.

"...Forget it, then you can dig it slowly yourself."

Sano was too lazy to care anymore and planned to leave Xiao Hei alone. Unexpectedly, the next second he would bite his trouser leg again.

...Good guy, not only do you have to dig it out to the end, but you also have to let yourself follow along with it?

Can you please be reasonable!

Sano didn't want to give in, and immediately started to pull with Xiao Hei. The result was that he couldn't pull him apart, especially because the leg of his trousers was bitten. If he really used force, the trousers would be useless.

But there were Conan Maorilan and others nearby, so Sano couldn't solve the problem by forcefully putting Xiao Hei into his backpack.

Helpless, Sano could only stay. After waiting for half a minute, he felt that waiting was a waste of time, so he decided to help this silly dog ​​dig together.

But how do you plan it? You can’t use your hands, right?

Sano's delicate hands are no better than Xiao Hei's two dog paws, and it's very painful to scratch them raw.

After thinking for a few seconds, Sano pulled out the Hammer of Justice and stared at its horns for a few seconds.

Hammer of Justice: "..."

"Just use this."

Sano began to dig up the soil with the horn of a hammer, but after a few seconds he became impatient again.

Sano silently turned his gaze to the team members who were watching the whole process.

"...Baked sweet potatoes, you can't eat them for free, right?"

Five little ones: "..."

If I had known better, I wouldn't have eaten that broken sweet potato.

Then the five children, a mixture of real and fake, began to take turns digging up the soil with Sano's hammer.

No, to be precise, it should be four. Haihara Ai did not participate in this work because of her shoulder injury... although even if she had no shoulder injury, there is a high probability that she would not participate.

Someone took over the digging work, so Sano just sat and stared at the river.

...Having said that, if there is no progress in the Itakou case, then Sano seems to be able to communicate directly with John through Xiao Hei to find out what the true appearance of his signal is.

Although this method is a bit troublesome and the instability is too high, if there is really no other way, it can only be a gamble.

Under Sano's random thoughts, almost ten minutes passed.

Sano suddenly came to his senses and sniffed his nose.

This taste is indeed right.

Sano frowned, stood up, took Genta aside who was digging the soil, and took the hammer from his hand.

"Call the police."

Conan was stunned for a few seconds after hearing Sano's instructions. He was about to ask confusedly why, but the next second he saw the other person's digging action, he suddenly had an idea and took out his mobile phone.

Half a minute later, Sano, who saw half of the rotten finger, stopped and turned to look at the real children and Mao Lilan who were all looking curiously. He still reminded you: "I advise you not to look anymore.

Already."

Upon hearing this, both Conan, who had already sensed something was wrong and frowned, and Haibara Ai, who was standing next to him with his hands folded across his chest and vaguely sensed something was wrong, all had their eyes moved.

If Sano said so, then he had actually discovered something.

And the things that will be hidden underground... there is a high probability that they can only be corpses.

"...Sano, should you take care of your dog first? It seems to be getting more and more excited. If you let it dig at it again, I'm afraid the body will be destroyed, right?"

Conan suddenly reminded him with a strange look on his face.

Sano was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, and as expected, Xiao Hei was digging faster and faster, and his breathing became rapid, as if victory was right in front of him.

"..."

With the joint efforts of Sano and Mao Lilan, Xiao Hei was successfully stopped, and then Officer Megure, who had just returned to the police station with Itakou, had to lead the team there again.

Several police officers carefully dug up the ground, but surprisingly, they didn't dig up a disgusting corpse, just a hand.

... Sano originally thought this would be a case of...well, a corpse dumping case or a corpse hiding case, but he didn't expect that there would be a prefix of dismemberment in front of it.

However, since there was only one hand and no other clues, the accident was dismissed as such. Fortunately, it did not cause any other trouble.

It seems that this time it is not caused by the effect of Conan the Plague God's aura.

In addition, Xiao Hei, who was witnessing the food he dug out and being taken away by the police, howled so hard that even Conan, who did not understand its meaning, could feel it.

Uncover the pathos behind its howl.

In the end, Officer Memu bought a large piece of beef ribs at his own expense, which finally made Xiao Hei stop and leave with satisfaction.

…

The next day, when Sano got up, he was surprised to find that Gin had called him last night, but probably because he had fallen asleep at that time, he didn't receive the call.

Gin called her twice in a row, but lost her patience and left a text message.

"how's it going."

The endless questions seemed to be just concerns between friends.

But Sano knew that this was not a concern, but an inquiry about the progress of the mission.

...The two fucking days haven’t even come yet, and you’re already urging me to do it. Where’s the soul urging?

As expected, these bosses and superiors are all carved from the same mold.

After scratching his head impatiently, Sano quickly edited a text message and sent it.

"Working hard."

Sano then casually threw his cell phone aside, planning to ignore any calls or messages from Gin after all. After all, he was "working hard."

How can a hard-working person have so much free time to chat and fish.

At the same time, there was a cocktail on the other side. Gin noticed the vibration of the phone in his arms, took it out, took a look, and immediately replied to a text message.

After that, Gin didn't turn off his phone, but waited patiently for ten minutes without receiving a reply, and then turned his attention to the newspaper on the table that he had received last night.

[High school detective Sano Shinichiro solves another case...]

Gin looked at the title of a report in the newspaper, then looked at the three simple words "working hard" on the interface of his mobile phone, and couldn't help but slowly type a row of dots.

...Is this guy fooling himself?
