The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

She couldn't quite understand why someone would go to such lengths for such a simple matter as a client.

Kogoro Mouri thought for a moment and felt like he had seen a similar situation in some TV series. "Maybe there's something extraordinary in that locker."

Chapter 775 Kei Kenzuka in the Toilet

"Well... I'm afraid only he himself would know."

After Amuro Tooru finished speaking, he turned and pushed open the office door that had just been closed.

Now that we've explained the situation to everyone, the next step is to catch the rat hiding in the office.

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri was initially taken aback, but he immediately understood Amuro Tooru's meaning and became on guard.

However, Xiaolan clearly hadn't grasped the situation yet. "This... I mean..."

Amuro Tooru glanced in the direction of the office restroom, squinting as he explained, "That's right, just as Mr. Mori was about to go to the restroom, the text message arrived, didn't it? And just now, when Conan said he needed to go to the restroom, it was also..."

Seeing Amuro Tooru suddenly turn his head and look at him, Conan nodded. "And I also saw what looked like drag marks on the floor in front of the toilet."

"Ugh?"

Kogoro Mouri was taken aback; he hadn't noticed this at the time because he was in a hurry to go to the restroom.

"That's right. I'm afraid that person dragged the client into the toilet for some reason again, and even hid the person inside."

As Amuro Tooru explained, he led the way into the office, heading towards the restroom.

However, before anyone could even reach the toilet door...

A sudden gunshot rang out in the toilet.

"What!?"

Upon hearing this voice, the expressions of everyone at the Mori Detective Agency changed drastically.

Conan immediately rushed to the toilet.

However, perhaps because of his short legs, by the time he rushed to the toilet door, Aragaki Yu and Amuro Tooru were already blocking his way.

Aragaki Yu was seen leaning against the wall, one hand firmly gripping the toilet doorknob.

Amuro Tooru leaned against the wall on the other side of the toilet door.

After signaling to Kogoro Mouri and the others not to stand directly in front of the toilet door.

After exchanging a knowing glance with Amuro Tooru, Aragaki Yu slowly turned the doorknob and then yanked the toilet door open. Amuro Tooru, in the instant the door opened, ducked and rushed into the toilet.

Conan, who was also waiting outside the door, followed closely behind Amuro Tooru and rushed into the restroom.

However, the situation inside the toilet was somewhat unexpected.

There were no armed criminals in the toilet as everyone had imagined.

Instead, a short-haired young woman, her body bound with duct tape and her mouth sealed with tape by someone, was slumped in the cubicle, struggling frantically.

On the toilet directly opposite the woman, a burly man was lying face down, holding a pistol with both hands behind his back.

Judging from the bloodstains splattered on the wall behind him, it can be roughly determined that the person had likely committed suicide by shooting himself.

Good guy...

It seems that even the Mori Detective Agency, the headquarters of the Grim Reaper, cannot stop the trend of becoming a haunted house.

"hiss……"

Upon seeing the state of the toilet, the people who rushed in couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at her and then stood in front of the toilet door, keeping his daughter Ran out.

While Kogoro Mouri was signaling Ran to call the police.

Yu Aragaki and Tooru Amuro worked together to remove the tape from the woman's body.

Perhaps she was too frightened, because as soon as she was untied, the short-haired woman staggered and fell into the arms of Aragaki Yu, her shoulders trembling violently and suppressed sobs rising intermittently.

(Yuki-onna: (?▼Yay▼) Damn it! Where did this wicked woman come from again!)

Seeing her trembling, it was as if she were truly terrified.

Amuro Tooru's gaze lingered on her briefly before he casually handed her the pink trench coat that had been placed behind her back.

For some unknown reason, she was only wearing a loose black vest on her upper body. The neckline was twisted and crooked, revealing a small part of her collarbone. There were a few light red marks on her shoulders from the struggle, which rose and fell gently with her rapid breathing. It was clear that she had moved too much when she was tied up. The hem of the vest had also rolled up to her waist, revealing the delicate skin of her waist.

"Put it on first!"

The short-haired woman took the trench coat with a slightly flustered movement; her fingers trembled so much that she could barely hold onto the coat, and her arms bumped together when she put on the sleeves. It took her a while to finally wrap herself in the coat.

She subconsciously pulled the zipper all the way up until her chin was buried in her collar, only then did she seem to gain a little sense of security, and the fingers gripping the zipper head finally loosened their grip.

After the short-haired woman put on her coat, Aragaki Yu and Amuro Tooru helped her out of the restroom.

The short-haired woman's steps were still a little unsteady. Aragaki Yu could feel that she was pressing almost half of her body against him, and her hands were gripping him tightly. Her high heels dragged on the floor, making a soft, rustling sound.

The woman only released Aragaki Yu when they reached the sofa in the office's living room, and sank into the sofa somewhat disheveled.

She curled her legs up, knees pressed against her chest, and seemed to be in a daze.

……

Soon, Inspector Megure and his team arrived at the Mouri Detective Agency.

"So that's what happened, Ms. Kenji Kei. You came here today specifically to ask Mori to investigate the locker key, but instead, a man claiming to be an employee of the agency greeted you and then stunned you with a stun gun."

After understanding the situation, Inspector Megure looked at the short-haired woman sitting opposite him and confirmed, "After you woke up, you found yourself tied up with duct tape and trapped in the toilet, right?"

"Yes, yes... and that person even took off my boots and untied my shoelaces to prevent me from running away." Ms. Kenji looked a little nervous but tried to remain calm.

Perhaps seeking a sense of security, she even secretly glanced at Aragaki Yu not far away.

This made Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting next to Inspector Megure, a little jealous.

Damn it, what does this brat have that makes him any better than Kogoro Mouri?

"Yes." Inspector Megure nodded and continued, "Then Mori and his group came back. That man was afraid that his act of imprisoning you in the toilet would be discovered, so he actually shot himself in the mouth and committed suicide. Is that right?"

Ms. Kei Kagetsuka nodded with a hint of lingering fear, "Yes, that's right."

Watching Inspector Megure execute the procedures so methodically, Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but nod in approval.

It must be said that, putting aside the fact that he solves cases, Inspector Megure is indeed incredibly professional when it comes to interrogating people about criminal matters.

Although he had a general understanding of what had happened, Inspector Megure still had one question: "But what was his purpose in taking you to the restroom?"

Chapter 776 The Man Who Committed Suicide

"Because he kept pressing me with one question... He asked me which locker this key belonged to, and threatened to kill me if I didn't tell him."

Ms. Kei Kenzuka reached out and touched the tears welling up in her eyes, looking extremely nervous and frightened.

However, Yuu Aragaki always felt that this woman was a bit strange, as if something was wrong with her.

At the same time, Officer Takagi ran in from outside and reported the situation to Inspector Megure.

According to forensic examination, almost no trace of flammation residue was found on Ms. Kei Kenzuka's body and clothing.

Therefore, Inspector Megure naturally concluded that the man in the restroom had committed suicide.

"It seems that the most important task at present is to find out the location of the locker that Ms. Kei Kenzuka mentioned, as well as the key, and the identity and purpose of the man who committed suicide."

"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing Inspector Megure's order, Officer Takagi saluted and hurriedly ran out of the office.

……

In the office restroom.

Inspector Megure frowned as he looked at the man lying on the toilet in the stall. "But I still can't understand why he insisted on bringing Ms. Kenzuka to this place."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but grin, and replied to Inspector Megure, "Perhaps he's afraid of me, Kogoro Mouri!"

“No, even so, he could have easily taken Ms. Kenzuka away from the office and found a place to hide.” Aragaki Yu shook his head. “After all, his goal is to get information about the locker from Ms. Kenzuka. If it were me, I would definitely take Ms. Kenzuka to a place where she wouldn’t be easily discovered and then interrogate her properly.”

Inspector Megure: (￣.￣)

Kogoro Mori: >_<|||

Toru Amuro: "..."

As if completely oblivious to the increasingly strange expressions on everyone's faces, Aragaki Yu continued, "Doing it this way will give us more time, and after achieving our goal, we can better deal with Ms. Kenzuka."

deal with?

How do you want to handle this?

Looking at Aragaki Yu's matter-of-fact expression, Inspector Megure suddenly felt a little panicked.

Could it be that Aragaki-kun has done something like this before...?

Hehe, it shouldn't be that bad...!?

However, even Kogoro Mouri had to nod in agreement with what Yuu Aragaki said. "Yes, threatening Ms. Kenzuka with a gun to take her elsewhere would have been a better option, but this man used a stun gun to knock Ms. Kenzuka unconscious and took her to the toilet. This plan was indeed quite foolish."

Inspector Megure glanced at Kogoro Mouri and continued, "I never imagined that in the end he would commit suicide with his own pistol."

Kogoro Mouri waved his hand, snorted, and muttered, "Hmph, it must be because I, Kogoro Mouri, came back earlier than he expected. He felt he couldn't escape, so he decided to give up everything."
