“Takahashi…you…” Kakutani stared blankly at the emotionally agitated Takahashi Ryoichi.

"What does this have to do with Atsuko?" Ayako Suzuki asked, equally puzzled.

“Back then, Atsuko secretly showed me the stories she had written, saying she hoped to become a novelist someday.” Ryoichi Takahashi was lost in his memories. “Her eyes were still full of expectation and longing for the future. I never imagined she would later hang herself…”

“But I understood the real reason for her suicide after watching Chikako’s film ‘Blue Kingdom’!” Takahashi Ryoichi’s tone became full of anger and resentment.

"What? The Blue Kingdom? Could it be..." The group seemed to have realized something.

"That's right! The story in Chika's debut work, 'Blue Kingdom,' is exactly the same as the story in 'Sky-Colored Country,' which Atsuko showed me back then!"

"Could it be that Chikako stole Atsuko's work?" Ayako Suzuki asked, somewhat incredulous.

"Yes! Chikako won the Best New Screenplay Award by taking advantage of Atsuko's work!"

"How do you know that Atsuko committed suicide because of this?" Hiroki Kakutani asked Ryoichi Takahashi.

“Of course I know!” Takahashi Ryoichi looked somewhat devastated. “On the very day Chikako won the award, the day before Atsuko committed suicide, Atsuko called me and told me everything. She also told me that she could no longer trust anyone!”

After saying this, Ryoichi Takahashi knelt on the ground, covered his face, and wept bitterly.

“Then you didn’t need to kill Chikako!” Hiroki Kakutani shouted at Ryoichi Takahashi.

"If it weren't for Chikako, Atsuko wouldn't have died! It's all Chikako's fault! So, I'm avenging Atsuko! I'm not wrong, I'm a righteous messenger avenging Atsuko! Hahahaha..." Takahashi Ryoichi suddenly burst into laughter again, his face contorted in a grotesque manner.

Then, he pulled out a dagger from his pocket, held it to his neck, and said while crying and laughing, "Atsuko, I'm here to join you as a champion of justice! Hahaha..."

"Stop being so vain!" Suddenly, Aragaki Yu shouted, interrupting Takahashi Ryoichi's actions. "If you want to die, then go ahead and die! What kind of champion of justice is this? You're joking!"

The others were also startled by Aragaki Yu's voice and looked at him in confusion.

At this moment, Conan, who had come down from the second floor, also entered the hall and said to the stunned Takahashi Ryoichi, "Aragaki-nii is right! Perhaps all of this, as you said, was indeed for Atsuko, but you even attacked Aragaki-nii later. Was that also for Atsuko?"

"You're afraid! Afraid of being exposed and becoming a murderous monster! To ensure you're not discovered, you're even going to harm innocent people. Do you call that justice?" Conan continued mercilessly, "Actually, you're not a champion of justice at all! You're just a hideous murderous monster!"

"Furthermore, I think Atsuko wouldn't want to see you go down the path of murder or even suicide," Ran added from the side.

Bangdang...

The dagger in Takahashi Ryoichi's hand slipped and fell to the ground.

After his unwavering sense of justice and conviction was ruthlessly exposed, he knelt on the ground, his face ashen.

"Atsuko..."

Chapter 47 Peeping

"Ugh, I'm so tired..."

By the time everyone returned to Beika Town, it was already completely dark.

After saying goodbye to the Mori family at the Mori Detective Agency, Aragaki Yu embarked on his journey home.

On a dark and windy night, the residential area was exceptionally quiet.

Just as Aragaki Yu was about to arrive at the gate of his own yard, two black cars suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"Ok?"

There shouldn't be many unfamiliar vehicles passing by on this small road in front of my house.

Aragaki Yu turned his head to look at the two cars with some confusion.

The two cars slowly drove past Aragaki Yu. The windows were dark, and only a few figures could be vaguely seen inside, but they were not very clear.

"Forget it, maybe they were just taking a shortcut. Could it be that I've been spending too much time with detectives lately and I'm starting to become paranoid?"

Watching the black car about to turn the corner, Aragaki Yu shook his head with a wry smile and prepared to turn around and walk into the yard.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, perhaps because the passengers in the back seat felt stuffy, the black car that had just turned the corner lowered its rear window slightly.

That one glance made Aragaki Yu's pupils shrink slightly.

"Ah! Sherry~"

She was seen resting her face on one hand, leaning against the car door, staring blankly out the window at the scenery.

With brown hair, lake-blue eyes, and a strikingly cool and delicate mixed-race face, he wore a slightly bored expression.

Yuu Aragaki is certain that she is the woman codenamed Sherry in the Black Organization, whose real name is Shiho Miyano!

In his past life, when he watched anime, this woman left a very deep impression on Aragaki Yu.

It's not just because of her tragic and dark experiences, and her astonishing and admirable knowledge and abilities.

She was not only a brilliant pharmacologist, but also proficient in many other sciences.

It's also because her cool exterior conceals a mysterious charm; she is aloof yet kind, realistic yet naive, strong yet fragile...

If it's just a superficial contact, it's like an iceberg; even she herself calls herself a "shark from the deep sea."

Although she is a completely different girl from Ran Mouri in every way.

But like Ran, she was a woman who left a deep impression on Aragaki Yu.

As the car slowly disappeared from his sight, Aragaki Yu asked, "Are you here to investigate Shinichi Kudo's death?"

Although reason tells him he should avoid contact with the black organization as much as possible.

But as a time traveler, he couldn't suppress his reckless and suicidal thoughts.

"If you're already in the world of Detective Conan, what's the difference between you and a salted fish if you're not there?"

Even after finding reasons to convince myself, I still felt I needed to satisfy my curiosity first.

But looking at something is one thing, and how you look at it is another.

Yuu Aragaki believes he was not able to spy on the Black Organization members under their noses.

Although it may just be a bunch of low-level thugs coming.

Even if I'm discovered, I can escape, but if they see my face, my life might not be peaceful from now on.

Yuu Aragaki suddenly felt that he needed to learn the skill of disguise.

"Yuki-onna, I'll have to trouble you with this next step!"

Yuu Aragaki immediately returned to his room and summoned the Yuki-onna, who had been idly passing by in the Yin-Yang Realm all day and had fallen asleep without a care in the world.

Holding her little feet, I tried my best to shake her awake from her drowsiness.

"Huh?" The snow woman rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around blankly, only to find herself hanging upside down in mid-air by her feet.

"Ha...tch~ What's wrong, Onmyoji? What are your orders?" Yuki-onna tried to pull her foot away from Aragaki Yu's grasp, but couldn't break free.

Yuu Aragaki placed the Yuki-onna in his palm, teased her for a while to make sure she was awake, and then told her his request.

"Shinichi Kudo? Beautiful girl? Cell phone? Camera? Spying?"

Having been in this world for quite some time, the Snow Woman is naturally familiar with these terms.

After Aragaki Yu finished speaking, Yuki-onna looked at him with disdain.

hateful!

Is it possible that I am not enough for the Onmyoji?

He even went so far as to spy on other women!

Yuu Aragaki, of course, had no idea what Yuki-onna was thinking: "Then I'll leave it to you, Yuki-onna!"

Yuki-onna hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, determined to see what kind of woman could attract her Onmyoji so much that he was even willing to do something like spying, she resolutely accepted the mission.

Yuki-onna took the phone with the camera function turned on from Aragaki Yu's hand.

Fortunately, the phone wasn't very big, and it was just the right size for the Snow Woman to hold.

However, to outsiders, it looks just like a cell phone floating in mid-air.

I have a feeling... it's a bit eerie.

After seeing Yuki-onna ponder for a moment, Aragaki Yu turned his back, opened his kimono, and shoved his phone in front of him.

Aside from looking noticeably larger, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but exclaim, "The quality of these clothes is surprisingly good!"

However, it's finally confirmed now. If the kimono can be opened, then it can definitely be taken off!

Thinking of this, Aragaki Yu's eyes immediately lit up.

After the Snow Woman finished preparing, she explained that her clothes were made of spiritual power, and in a sense, they were a part of her.

Therefore, if you wrap your phone in clothes while in the Fortune state, no one else will be able to tell.

The downside is that carrying a phone inside your clothes is uncomfortable and inconvenient.

After all, it would be too big for a Yuki-onna in her Fortune and Prosperity state to let in.

After giving a few more instructions, Yuki-onna flew leisurely towards Shinichi Kudo's house.

She floated directly through the air and landed on the wall of the Kudo family garden in just over ten breaths.

Both black cars were parked not far from the gate, with their engines running.

In case of any unexpected situation, we can evacuate at any time.
