Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

CARASUMA!

Sakaki's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally found the key information that he had missed.

It’s the Haneda Koji case!

Haneda Koji is a chess player. The clues he left behind with his life are not just to point out the identity of the murderer, but to have a more significant meaning, the king who can decide the outcome at the critical moment!

Sakaki seemed to see those people who died 17 years ago, relying on their own minds and strength to constantly compete with Karasuma Renya and the black organization, and finally...

Checkmate

Decades of hard work finally drove Karasuma Renye to a dead end.

"Hiroki, play the audio. No matter whether the password is CARASUMA or not, you have to try it."

"good."

Hiroki input CARASUMA into the computer, converted it into the Boss's voice, and played it back on Sakaki Makoto's mobile phone.

The low, hoarse and slightly weird accent sounded, like the sound of saw teeth cutting a tree trunk. Perhaps it was Sakaki's psychological effect. He felt that the Boss's voice was as unpleasant as it could be.

As the last syllable fell, everyone held their breath and looked nervously at the entrance, not daring to breathe out.

One second, two seconds.

Click!

There was a crisp sound of the machine, and the entrance like a pool of stagnant water began to slowly descend, like an elevator opening a door to the unknown.

"It's open!"

Sakaki's eyes lit up, and he did not jump immediately. Instead, he waited patiently for the ground to completely lower, and then signaled the special soldiers to throw a few explosive bombs inside, then connected the zip line and jumped into the hole first.

One by one, the soldiers entered the dark room and found that it was extremely dark, with extremely low visibility. There was a light mint smell in the air, which smelled refreshing.

Turning on the night vision goggles, Sakaki finally saw his surroundings clearly.

This is a huge basement. The walls are all paved with special cement, which is extremely strong. There are expensive medical and life-support equipment stacked in the corner. There are soft wool carpets under the feet, and various supplies are placed on both sides. , and in the center of the room

There is an extremely large long wooden table. The end of the table

There was an old man wearing a ventilator sitting, and behind him stood a man who looked like a butler.

While Sakaki was observing the old man, the old man clapped his hands twice, and the chandelier on the ceiling suddenly brightened.

"Welcome home."

The sudden light stung Sakaki's eyes. He pulled off the night vision device, raised the M4 carbine horizontally, pointed it at the housekeeper standing behind the old man, and without saying a word, pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The fire flashed away, and a ball of sparks shot out from the butler's chest. He did not fall down. Under the clothes that were torn by the bullet, a metallic steel plate was exposed.

"Don't be so nervous. Ahem"

The old man coughed twice and smiled:

"It's just a robot. If you don't like it, I can let it go."

"Are you the Boss?"

The special soldier crossed Sakaki, rushed to the table, stopped a few meters away from the old man, and raised his gun vigilantly:

"Put your hands where I can see them!"

The old man shook his empty palm to indicate that he had no weapons, and said slowly:

"I'm just an old man who is half dead. Why should I be so hostile? You can kill me at any time if you want."

"Haven't you heard that the older the fox becomes, the more cunning he becomes?"

The special soldiers have no intention of relaxing their vigilance:

"Stand up!"

“If I can stand up, do I still need a wheelchair?”

"Who knows if you have lied to someone? Put him in jail!"

Several soldiers stepped forward, held down the old man's arms without any explanation, and put a pair of handcuffs on him. Then the soldiers took out a square remote-controlled bomb from his breast pocket and stuffed it into the old man's chest.

After completing this matter, the special soldier relaxed a little, took out a remote control and said:

"If you're not honest, I guarantee you'll be blown into a pulp."

The old man laughed, and his laughter was creepy:

"Can I say a few words now?"

"What do you want to say?"

"It's not you, it's him."

The old man looked at Sakaki and said softly:

"I haven't seen you for so many years, you've grown up."

After letting other soldiers continue to search the room for other dark rooms, Sakaki sat on the other side of the long table, facing the old man face to face, lit a cigarette, took out the Colt M1911 from his waist and held it in his hand. He said calmly:

"Are you Karasuma Ren?"

"Technically speaking, you should call me great-grandfather."

"Is it too late to play the emotional card now?"

“It’s really late”

The old man sighed:

"But I hope you understand that you are my only direct blood relative. I have lived for 140 years, and my old friends are dying one after another. How can I not be happy to see my relatives?"

"I don't have time to chat with you, and there is no old friendship between you and me."

After looking at the time, Sakaki said in a cold tone:

"At this point, I just want to ask you one question."

"Please tell me."

"For your crazy plan, how many people have you killed over the years?"

"oh"

Hearing this question, the old man raised his head and looked at the ceiling in a daze:

"I can't remember clearly. I think good and evil should not only be calculated based on how many people are killed, but also based on the purpose, right?"

"Purpose?"

Sakaki sneered:

"Resurrecting the dead and reversing the flow of time, do you have the nerve to say this?"

"Once the APTX plan succeeds, won't the people I killed be able to come back to life?"

The old man nodded and smiled:

"I will use actual actions to prove that their decision to betray me is wrong. And I am a magnanimous person. Of course I will forgive the fools for their actions. Their death is only temporary. When I succeed, One day, when they are resurrected, your father will be among them."

Under Sakaki's gaze, the old man snapped his fingers, and a life-support device stacked in the corner opened the hatch. In the mist that spewed out, a mechanical arm pulled up a figure.

He has skin as pale as paper, a thin face, long black hair that hangs down to his waist, and a haggard shape. His body is covered with electrodes, and he wears something like a ventilator on his face. When you see him...

Sakaki's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his head hurt violently, as if something was about to come out.

"Ryuunosuke, the grandson-in-law I am most satisfied with and appreciate the most."

The old man said expressionlessly:

"Did you think he was dead? No, I told you that I am a magnanimous person. Even if he betrayed me, I did not kill him, and neither did you."

The old man stared straight at Sakaki and said word by word:

"The dead will eventually be resurrected. This is my promise to the Karasuma family. No matter how many years pass, as long as I am alive, I will continue the glory of the family!"
