The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

However, Yuya Aragaki is also very self-aware, and he knows that he still has a lot of shortcomings compared to the two people on stage.

To be honest, if there really was a childhood sweetheart like Xiaolan...

It is indeed quite safe when there is danger.

But even when it's safe, it can be quite dangerous!

In that sense, Shinichi Kudo is actually quite pitiful.

……

"Ah!"

In the museum, one of the four children, a little boy, suddenly sneezed.

He couldn't help but rub his nose, wondering who was talking about him.

"Could it be Xiaolan?" The little boy couldn't help but recall the angry look on Xiaolan's face when she saw him again.

I couldn't help but shiver again.

That's right, this little boy is Conan.

The other children, unsurprisingly, are Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta from the original Junior Detective Club.

"Conan, are you alright? Do you have a cold?" Ayumi asked with concern when she saw Conan sneezing and shivering.

"No...it's nothing," Conan replied with a smile. "It's probably because the air conditioning here is set too low."

Just like in the original story, over these few days...

In order to better play the role of an elementary school student, Conan also made new friends at Teitan Elementary School.

He also formed the legendary Junior Detective Club with these three mischievous kids.

Today was the day they had arranged to visit the museum together.

……

"This is really fun!"

"A mask made of gold, that's so cool!"

"And that legendary treasure map of gold, how enviable!"

As they left the museum, the four were still enthusiastically discussing the collection.

"There are actually many secret treasures in this world that have not yet been discovered!" Conan couldn't help but explain to the other three.

"Really? Then I'd like to go and look for it too!"

"Me too!"

Mitsuhiko and Genta were both very excited when they heard Conan mention the treasure.

"Stop dreaming! We don't have any treasure map!" Conan mercilessly dampened their enthusiasm.

"Hey! What's this?" Just then, a piece of paper suddenly flew to Genta's feet.

Genta picked up the piece of paper from the ground, looking somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong, Genta?" Conan and the others gathered around Genta, curiously examining the piece of paper in his hand.

The paper was covered with a series of mysterious and strange patterns.

"What's on this piece of paper?" Ayumi asked, puzzled.

"That's right! Could this be a treasure map?!" She immediately thought of the treasure map Conan had just mentioned and couldn't help but shout.

"Huh!? A treasure map?" Genta and Mitsuhiko carefully examined the piece of paper in their hands.

"How could that be!" Conan didn't believe such a coincidence could happen.

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Mitsuhiko and Genta looking at him angrily: "You dare not believe what Ayumi said!"

"No... because..." Conan was at a loss for words as he looked at the three children staring at him.

Seeing that the three were unwilling to give up, and that Conan himself had also become interested in the pattern on the paper.

So Conan decided to try to decipher the information on the note.

As he and the three little ones walked, they intently analyzed the meanings of the patterns on the strips of paper.

But no one noticed that three suspicious-looking men in black were following the children from a distance.

Looking at the figures and faces of these men in black, it was obvious that they did not look Japanese.

Moreover, their expressions clearly revealed a malicious smile.

"Huh? Isn't that Conan?" Ran patted Aragaki Yu, who was walking in front of her, and said.

I had to leave the garden early because something came up.

Therefore, only Yuu Aragaki and Ran, who had finished her karate training, were going home together.

As a result, when passing by a convenience store, Ran happened to see Conan, Ayumi, and the others in the distance.

You can vaguely see the four children looking around, seemingly searching for something.

They were also gesturing to each other from time to time.

"Conan..." Just as Ran was about to run forward to greet Conan, Yuu Aragaki suddenly blocked her way.

Ran looked at Aragaki Yu who was blocking her way, somewhat puzzled.

"Shh!" Aragaki Yu gestured for Ran to be quiet, then pointed to a spot not far from Conan and the others.

In an inconspicuous corner, three men dressed in black were lurking furtively.

"Who are those people? Robbers? Kidnappers? Or human traffickers?" Ran looked at the group of guys who clearly didn't look like good people and kept staring at Conan and the others. She couldn't help but roll up her sleeves and rush forward.

Unexpectedly, Yuu Aragaki suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, stopping her once again.

"Aragaki, what are you doing! Conan and the others are in danger!" Ran glared at Aragaki Yu with some anxiety.

Aragaki Yu, however, appeared completely unconcerned.

He smiled mysteriously, took out his phone from his pocket, dialed a few times, and then handed it to Xiaolan: "Look, don't those people look like China Mobile's 50?"

Xiaolan was a little confused, not knowing what Aragaki Yu was talking about, until her gaze fell on Aragaki Yu's phone screen.

A recent online news item was displayed on the phone screen.

This is a reward notice from the police.

According to police investigations, the Italian robbery gang that stole 15,000 maple leaf gold coins a year ago has recently reappeared in Tokyo. Citizens are advised to be vigilant for their safety and to be aware of suspicious individuals in their vicinity. A reward of 500,000 yen has been offered to anyone who provides valid clues leading to the arrest of the perpetrators.

The suspect's wanted poster was also attached.

Although those sneaky guys did some disguise.

However, with Yuu Aragaki's prompting, Ran was also able to see that they bore a striking resemblance to the wanted criminals in the portrait.

"Call the police and wait for them to arrive. If you rush in like this, what if they get away?" Aragaki Yu suggested.

"Are you trying to use Conan and the others as bait to distract the criminals?" Ran seemed a little angry.

She was extremely worried about the children's safety: "Those guys are thugs! It's very dangerous!"

Yuu Aragaki waved his hand to signal Ran to calm down: "Don't worry, since these guys have chosen to secretly follow Conan and the others, they must have some purpose."

"Hmm?" Xiaolan didn't quite understand what Aragaki Yu meant.

Looking at the few men in black who were standing motionless in the corner, Aragaki Yu explained to Ran, "I heard that the Italian bandit group had an internal conflict, and their leader hid the gold coins somewhere. The others are now looking for this fortune."

Ran wasn't stupid either. After thinking about it carefully, she understood what Aragaki Yu meant: "You mean, Conan and the others are looking for that gold coin right now? But how would they know where those gold coins are?"

Yuu Aragaki shrugged and laughed, "Who knows? Maybe they just happened to find some treasure map."

At that moment, Conan and his friends in the distance seemed to have found some clue, and they cheered excitedly before running off in one direction.

The men in black who had been hiding in the corner also hurriedly ran out after them.

"Let's catch up quickly. Why don't we play the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?" Aragaki Yu's smile grew even wider.

Ran, trailing behind the man in black as she followed in Aragaki Yu's footsteps, asked worriedly, "Are Conan and the others really not in danger?"

"Don't worry, we're absolutely safe until Conan and the others find the treasure. Besides, we're still following behind, aren't we?" Aragaki Yu reassured him.

Xiao Lan thought for a moment: "I understand, but..."

"Huh? But what?" Aragaki Yu turned around and looked at Ran with surprise.

"But hehe, I have to share half of the prize money!" Xiaolan joked, trying to ease her nervousness.

“No problem.” Aragaki Yuu paused for a moment, then smiled and agreed.

……

To prevent losing track of the bandit group's members, Aragaki Yuya found a free opportunity to pull the Snow Woman out of the Yin-Yang Realm.

In exchange for a super deluxe sundae, he asked Yuki-onna to stay by the side of the Junior Detective League and provide him with guidance.

So, in the next time.
