The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

If I were really in that situation, I might not perform as well as they do.

Overwhelmed with joy at receiving praise and recognition, the children jumped up, shouting, "Yay! The Junior Detectives! A great success!"

Conan rolled his eyes helplessly: "Heh, you guys didn't do anything except find the treasure map."

……

The sky was darkening, and it was getting late.

Since most of the available witnesses are children.

Although their families had already been notified, we wanted to avoid worrying their parents.

Therefore, Inspector Megure decided to send the children home first so they could rest, and then return to the police station to give statements.

Ran couldn't stay to give a statement because she had to take Conan back to the police station.

Therefore, Inspector Megure looked at Aragaki Yu, the last and only witness remaining at the scene, with anticipation in his eyes.

"Okay... alright, Inspector Megure, I'm free. Could you please give me a ride to the police station to make a statement?" Seeing Inspector Megure's hesitant expression, Aragaki Yu decided against going back first.

"Of course! It's no trouble at all, thank you for your hard work!" Inspector Megure was extremely excited, his face beaming with joy.

It's been so tough! I've finally found someone who's willing to cooperate with the police!

In the past, whenever they encountered any difficult cases, Yusaku Kudo or Shinichi would always come to their aid.

But those two guys always just wash their hands of the matter after solving a case.

Taking a statement or anything like that was something that had never happened before.

Writing case reports for the police has become incredibly difficult.

Tell me, how should the police describe this report?

The detectives who were key to solving the case were all absent, and they didn't even have a clear understanding of the whole story.

"This young man is teachable!" Inspector Megure was deeply moved as he looked at Aragaki Yu beside him.

This guy is much more reliable than Shinichi Kudo!

They're both high school students, can't Kudo learn more from Aragaki?

Speaking of which, why haven't I seen Kudo in so long lately?

Inspector Megure suddenly realized that, based on past experience...

In at least half of these cases, Kudo could be seen at the scene.

(Conan: Heh... I'm here.)

Forget it, whatever. Anyway, there are better options now than Kudo.

……

It was past nine o'clock when I finished giving my statement and walked out of the police station.

Having gladly accepted Inspector Megure's offer to take him home, Aragaki Yu is now comfortably sitting in the back seat of the police car, curiously looking around at the interior with Yuki-onna.

I got to experience the treatment of a private car.

As for riding in a police car, it was a first for both Aragaki Yu and Yuki-onna, like a young woman getting married.

Yuu Aragaki sat in the police car, touching and looking around, completely ignoring the strange look in Inspector Megure's eyes from the passenger seat.

As for why Inspector Megure looked at Aragaki Yu with that kind of gaze...

Then I have to talk about what happened at the police station just now.

I thought that Yuu Aragaki was just cooperating with the police, so he went to the trouble of following me back to the police station late at night.

Unexpectedly, throughout the entire questioning process, Aragaki Yu kept bringing up the question of whether there really was a 500,000 yen bonus—

The police officer taking a statement: "How did you discover the members of that gang of robbers?"

Yuu Aragaki: "It was purely by chance that I happened to see the police's 500,000 yen bounty on the robbery organization."

Why did you choose to follow them in the first place?

"Because I learned from the 500,000 bounty that they were a group of vicious robbers! My sense of responsibility as a citizen drove me to do this!"

"Tell me in detail what these thugs did during your surveillance?"

"This gang of thugs, worth 500,000..."

Police officer taking the statement: ...

It wasn't until Inspector Megure, who was about to lose patience, assured that the full amount of the bonus would appear in Aragaki Yu's account within a few days.

Yusuke Aragaki began to recount the events of the case in a normal manner.

"Ha, this guy! He's not even as good as Shinichi Kudo!" Inspector Megure couldn't help but sigh and complain.

Chapter 31 Shinkansen

On the Shinkansen high-speed train.

Aragaki Yu took a bite of the sushi bento in his hand and couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

Sure enough, the food on this kind of transportation is never good, no matter where you are.

The snow woman, sitting on Yuki Aragaki's lap, took a small bite of the sushi in the bento box when no one was looking.

Before she could even savor it, she abruptly turned her head and spat out the food in her mouth with a "pui!"

"It tastes terrible!"

It turns out that not all food in the human world is delicious.

Realizing the extraordinary nature of this bento box, the Yuki-onna promptly floated onto Aragaki Yu's shoulder.

She decided to find a different spot to sit, to get away from the horrible food.

Ran Mouri, who was sitting opposite Yu Aragaki, also noticed his actions. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "I told you, don't have too high expectations for this train bento."

Aragaki Yu sighed softly, "Damn it, but I clearly saw those kids eating so deliciously!"

He then stretched slightly and casually placed the bento box in his hand into Conan's hand, who was sitting in the seat next to him.

The snow woman, who was sitting on Aragaki Yu's shoulder and didn't notice his movements, almost slipped off his shoulder because of his lazy stretch.

Although the snow woman didn't fall, she was still hanging in mid-air, clinging to Aragaki Yu's sleeve.

In her panic, she forgot that she could float, and could only struggle for a long time, clutching her clothes, before finally climbing back to her original position.

The snow woman, who soon came to her senses, became somewhat embarrassed and angry when she thought about her somewhat indecent actions.

She stormed up to Aragaki Yu's neck and punched him twice in a fit of rage before she was satisfied.

"Hiss~" Aragaki Yu grinned slightly.

You know what, it hurts quite a bit.

Conan, who was still half asleep after staying up late reading detective novels the night before, suddenly noticed a bento box that had appeared out of nowhere in his hand, and was somewhat bewildered.

He blinked, looking slightly bewildered, and was momentarily unable to process what was happening.

"Conan, are you alright? You look so tired." Ran asked Conan with concern.

"Ran, just ignore this brat!" Kogoro Mouri, sitting next to Ran, couldn't help but kick Conan's leg across from him, yawning and complaining, "What was that kid reading all night yesterday? He kept me up all night too."

……

To express her gratitude to Yu Aragaki for saving Conan on several occasions, Ran takes advantage of her father Kogoro's trip to Kyoto for a wedding and invites Yu Aragaki to travel to Kyoto with her.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at the children who were exploring the train carriage not far away, and continued to complain while resting his chin on his hand: "It's fine to bring you along, but why are there those noisy brats here too!"

Xiaolan helped her father straighten his tie, which was a little messy from rushing out the door, and said, "What does it matter? We got the travel expenses from their parents."

Kogoro sighed, "Seriously, what's wrong with parents lately? They're so carefree! And this kid, it's been so many days, and his parents haven't called once!"

"Huh!?" Conan was startled when the topic suddenly turned to him, and he immediately came to his senses.

not good!

Too much talk will lead to mistakes!

In a panic, Conan decided to quickly escape the awkward atmosphere of the topic, so after telling Ran, he prepared to go to the restroom.

Just as Conan was about to leave the carriage, he brushed past two men dressed in black, one fat and one thin.

Conan:! ! !

He turned around and looked at the backs of the two men in black, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly open, and for a moment he was completely stunned.

"It's...those guys!"

At that moment, Aragaki Yu, who was sitting in his seat listening to Kogoro boast about his glorious past, also noticed the two men in black walking towards him.

Gin! Vodka!

It's clear that Gin and Vodka didn't recognize Conan.

The APTX4869 that Gin gave to Shinichi Kudo was a drug that researchers in the Black Organization were developing.

In Gin's eyes, this was nothing more than a deadly poison.
