The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Page 25

Overwhelmed by fear and resentment, she ran towards her father, crying as she went.

The little girl's father, a wealthy man, finally overcame his fear and anxiety upon seeing his daughter again.

Seeing his daughter running towards him, he quickly knelt down, hugged her tightly in his arms, and comforted her.

After looking around, Ran Mouri immediately ran to Conan's side, squatted down, and anxiously checked Conan's body from head to toe.

I was both worried and terrified.

After confirming that Conan wasn't missing any limbs, Ran gave him a hard tap on the head.

"Conan! How could you run around like that!"

"I'm sorry, Ran-neechan." Conan, who had been hit again, covered his head and pretended to admit his mistake, weakly apologizing to Ran.

The police rushed towards the kidnapper lying on the ground. After confirming that the kidnapper was unable to resist and was not in mortal danger, they escorted him out of the warehouse amidst his cries of pain.

However, they didn't forget to leave two people behind to keep an eye on Aragaki Yu inside the warehouse, since they still didn't know who he was.

What if he's an accomplice of the kidnappers?!

However, because the boy didn't look like a bad guy, the police didn't immediately take him down.

Just as the two policemen who remained in the warehouse were about to approach Aragaki Yu to inquire about the situation.

Xiao Lan, who was squatting on the ground, only then realized what was happening.

This young man looks familiar.

She really looks like Aragaki...

wrong.

Isn't that Yu Aragaki?!

She stood up in surprise, her curious eyes looking at Aragaki Yu: "Aragaki-kun! What are you doing here?"

Yuu Aragaki greeted Ran, who was only just realizing what was happening, and explained that he had come out for a walk after dinner.

As I passed by the school, I heard the sounds of fighting and children screaming.

Thinking it was a case of school bullying, I rushed to this place out of concern.

Then they discovered that in the warehouse, a vicious thug was using an iron bar to assault two children.

In a moment of urgency, he rushed forward and subdued the assailant.

Ran looked at Aragaki Yu with gratitude after hearing his explanation, and at the same time, she grabbed Conan by the ear and brought him to Aragaki Yu to thank him.

The police officers standing nearby, after hearing Aragaki Yu's explanation, also relaxed their already low level of vigilance.

They stepped forward to express their praise and gratitude to Aragaki Yu for his courageous act.

Seeing the two policemen walking in front of him, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but take a second look.

One of the police officers was the short-haired female officer who led the charge into the warehouse.

Another officer was a middle-aged male police officer with a kind face and a rather overweight build.

Although it was the first time Aragaki Yu had met them, he recognized them at a glance.

The two of them are Inspector Sato and Inspector Megure.

Both Officer Sato and Officer Megure had a good impression of this righteous and brave young man.

Officer Sato, in particular, hadn't been able to see the boy's face clearly because of the dim lighting in the warehouse.

Upon closer inspection and seeing Aragaki Yu's handsome and refined appearance, one cannot help but be struck by his striking features.

However, when they thought of the miserable state of the kidnappers who were taken away, they couldn't help but secretly remind Aragaki Yu that if he ever encountered a similar situation in the future, he must wait for the police to arrive.

If you absolutely must take action, you must be careful with your actions.

Officer Sato then patted Aragaki Yu on the shoulder encouragingly and smiled at him.

Although that's what they say, it's only because their boss is present.

It's worth noting that whenever she intervened to apprehend criminals, their fates were often far worse than this kidnapper's.

Finally, after the two said they would send Aragaki Yu a letter of commendation and a bonus in a while, they left.

And on the side.

After comforting the little girl and promising to take some time off to spend with her, the wealthy father, after listening to the little girl's story, also came over and solemnly thanked Aragaki Yu.

The tycoon took out a check from his pocket, wrote down a considerable sum, and handed it to Shinju.

Under the envious gaze of Kogoro Mouri not far away, Aragaki Yu accepted the check after repeatedly declining it without success.

This can be considered an unexpected bonus.

Then, the wealthy man took out a check and handed it to Kogoro Mouri (Conan), who had helped a lot throughout the case.

Kogoro Mouri looked at the number on the check in his hand and danced with excitement.

At the same time, he also let out a joyful cheer.

After all, this was the largest commission he had ever received since he became a detective!

Kogoro Mouri's actions caused Conan and Ran, who were standing nearby, to turn their faces away in embarrassment.

Pretend you don't know this person at all.

My own father (the uncle) is really...

Too shameful!

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the tycoon, holding his daughter who was reluctant to part with Aragaki Yu, took his leave first.

Before leaving, the little girl ran up to Yu Aragaki and repeatedly invited him to visit her home sometime.

The matter was considered closed only after receiving a nod of approval from Aragaki Yu.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri, who was standing to the side, solved a major case after Conan's arrival and received a substantial fee for the case.

He regarded Conan as his lucky star, and happily patted Conan's shoulder repeatedly, completely ignoring the fact that Conan was wincing in pain.

Kogoro Mouri eventually accepted Conan's request to be fostered.

And so, Conan Edogawa's plan to move into the Mouri Detective Agency was perfectly accomplished.

He politely declined the Mori family's invitation to visit their home as a token of his gratitude.

Aragaki Yu then took the Yuki-onna and hurriedly headed towards his home.

Although I do have a great deal of curiosity about the legendary Mouri Detective Agency.

But firstly, it's already late today.

Secondly, he thought that today was Conan's first day living at the Mori family's house.

They must have a lot to do when they get back.

Although someone invited me to their home, it was largely out of politeness and gratitude.

If I were to go, it would definitely cause them a lot of trouble.

Anyway, I did manage to run into Kogoro Mouri today.

It won't seem presumptuous to visit again next time.

Moreover, compared to this matter, Aragaki Yuu suddenly had something more important to do at this moment.

It wasn't because he was carrying a large sum of money and was afraid of something going wrong.

He was more excited and pleasantly surprised than about the money.

Aragaki Yu rushed back to his home at breakneck speed.

As soon as he entered the house, Yuu Aragaki grabbed Yuki-onna, who wanted to go back to the refrigerator to rest after wandering around outside all day.

Before the snow woman could react, he eagerly pulled her into his room.

Under the puzzled gaze of the Snow Woman, Aragaki Yu closed his door with excitement and anticipation.

Then he jogged to the window and drew the curtains in the room.

In an instant, the only light in the room was the sparse moonlight filtering through the curtains.

The room became dark.

Then, Yu Aragaki pulled the bewildered Yuki-onna to sit on his bed.

This action startled the Snow Woman.

Suddenly, the snow woman seemed to realize something, and her originally fair face turned bright red.

Her heart was pounding like a deer.

All sorts of bizarre thoughts kept flashing through her mind—

"Ah, no! Is the Onmyoji planning to do something to me?"

"While I wouldn't mind if it were with an Onmyoji, we've only just met! How... how could this happen so suddenly!"
