The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

However, at this moment, Yuu Aragaki vaguely recalled that when he was sitting with Conan, he accompanied Conan to observe the customers entering the store.

At that time, the finger that Mr. Tonoyama had bandaged was probably the ring finger of his left hand.

Now, the finger that was bound due to injury has become the middle finger.

So, does that mean this guy is the murderer who committed this crime?

Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but laugh: "I never expected that the key to finding the culprit would be the Yuki-onna... with that dog-like nose."

Yuu Aragaki will not have a good attitude towards Mr. Tonoyama, the murderer in this case.

In other cases, Aragaki Yu might have left it to Conan to slowly find evidence and enjoy the fun of solving the case.

But this guy actually interrupted his conversation with Eri Kisaki.

Ah……

That was a rare opportunity for me, plus my fun-loving nature kicked in.

Yuya Aragaki started a conversation with Mr. Tonoyama, a rugby player, by bringing up the topic of rugby.

You know what, the two of them actually had a pretty good chat about rugby at first.

When the topic of Mr. Tonoyama's injured finger after "eating radishes" came up, Yu Aragaki said that he knew a little bit of medical skills from the mysterious East and could take a look at it.

Mr. Tonoyama's face revealed an unnatural expression, and he waved his hand repeatedly to refuse Aragaki Yu's kindness: "Really, there's no need to trouble you, young man. It's just a little swelling. It will be fine after a couple of days of rest."

He never expected that the boy, who had seemed so friendly and approachable just moments before, would suddenly wear a playful smile.

The boy spoke in a joking tone, yet said something that sent chills down his spine: "Are you really afraid of troubling me, or do you, Mr. Tonoyama, have an absolutely compelling reason not to untie this bandage?"

Mr. Dianshan:! ! !

He stared at Aragaki Yu in horror, his heart pounding: "How...how could this be! What could I possibly have to hide...hahahahaha..."

Mr. Tonoyama laughed awkwardly at himself.

"But I clearly remember, Mr. Tonoyama, when you first walked into the coffee shop, the injured finger with the bandage wasn't this one!"

Upon hearing these words, Mr. Tonoyama's awkward laughter abruptly stopped.

Yuu Aragaki paused, stood up, walked behind Mr. Tonoyama, and continued with a smile, "Could it be that, Mr. Tonoyama, you took off this bandage while using the restroom and then rewrapped it?"

At this moment, Mr. Television looked at Aragaki Yu in front of him as if he were looking at a smiling devil.

It instills a deep, inescapable fear in people.

"For example, using the loosened bandages to strangle the victim, or to make a murder weapon..."

Aragaki Yu's speculations repeatedly struck Mr. Tonoyama's heart.

"Then, could you please remove the bandage from your finger..."

Mr. Tonen, trembling all over, finally couldn't stand the boy beside him anymore.

Knowing in his heart that he had exposed the fact that he had committed murder, he suddenly stood up, ready to push aside Aragaki Yu behind him and rush out of the coffee shop before the others could react, escaping this horrible place.

Unexpectedly, the moment his hand touched Aragaki Yu, Aragaki Yu turned to the side and grabbed Tonoyama's hand, delivering a textbook-perfect over-the-shoulder throw.

And so, this is how the scene has become.

Of course, the version that Aragaki Yu told everyone omitted the Snow Woman, the true heroine.

"Well done, Aragaki-kun!"

Having learned what had happened, Inspector Megure excitedly patted Yuu Aragaki on the shoulder.

Although for the police, this case was solved inexplicably once again.

But for Inspector Megure, at least he doesn't have to work overtime today!

Inspector Megure couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Long live my brother!"

Chapter 56 I've met you, Uncle Aragaki

The entrance to the coffee shop.

"Well then, Brother Aragaki, Attorney Ki, thank you so much this time."

After bidding farewell to the group, Inspector Megure and his subordinates escorted the prisoner into the police car.

Conan watched the police car speed away, a look of utter despair on his face.

I feel really uneasy.

Although bringing criminals to justice is a great thing, Conan is still somewhat unhappy about it.

Just like a detective's passion that had just been ignited, before it could spread, it was extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

Even if you don't reveal the truth yourself, it's still nice to witness someone else's brilliant reasoning show.

But today's prisoner...

"Sigh..." Conan glanced at Aragaki Yu beside him and sighed silently.

I have a feeling that this isn't the first time something like today's situation has happened.

……

"Conan! Are you alright?"

After the police removed the cordon, Xiaolan, who had been waiting anxiously outside, immediately ran over.

"I'm fine! Ran-neechan!" Conan, who was caught up in negative emotions, immediately remembered that there was something more important than deduction when he saw Ran running towards him.

Ran jogged over to Conan's side and quickly apologized for being late.

Driven by jealousy, Conan mistakenly believed that Ran was apologizing to the frivolous man standing behind him.

His jealousy was so obvious it was almost palpable.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. He turned to look at the frivolous man and, feigning curiosity, asked, "What do you mean by 'girls can be won over with sweet words, big brother'?"

"Huh!?" The frivolous man looked at Conan with a mixture of nervousness and surprise as he repeated what he had said earlier.

However, Ran seemed unusually confused because she didn't recognize the man who had suddenly struck up a conversation with Conan: "Who is this person?"

"What!" Conan was completely dumbfounded. He realized that he seemed to have made a huge blunder.

Just then, an angry voice came from afar: "Are you serious, Conan?"

Conan looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that it belonged to Sonoko.

The frivolous man, upon seeing Sonoko approaching, hurriedly tried to go up and greet her.

However, Sonoko ignored him and simply walked up to him.

She angrily reached out and slapped him across the face in a perfect arc, then turned and left without looking back.

"So that's how it is, hehe..." Conan's eyes immediately turned into beady ones. "So, who exactly is Ran here to see?"

Click, click!

While watching the show from the sidelines, Aragaki Yu, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, quietly took a bunch of photos of Conan's various expressions.

perfect!

The number of collectibles has increased again.

……

"Young man, you did a great job!"

Just as Aragaki Yuu put away his phone, Kisaki Eri walked out of the coffee shop and went straight to Aragaki Yuu's side to praise him.

During her time at the coffee shop, Eri Kisaki learned quite a bit about the boy from her old friend, Inspector Megure.

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. Compared to Attorney Hei, what I have is nothing at all."

Eri Kisaki gave Yuu Aragaki a thorough once-over.

He was handsome and refined-looking, dressed appropriately, and spoke with humility.

He was neither as slovenly as his own deadbeat husband, nor as arrogant as that kid Kudo.

"Mom, so you're here!" At that moment, Ran finally saw Eri Kisaki standing at the entrance of the coffee shop.

"Mom!?" Good grief, Conan was completely dumbfounded this time.

Eri Kisaki looked at Ran running towards her and couldn't help but criticize, "Look at you dressed like this again. Didn't I tell you, wearing such a short skirt, your stomach will easily catch a cold?"

"What?!" Xiaolan blushed slightly, and complained helplessly, "Mom, don't always treat me like a child!"

"Huh? Aragaki too? What are you doing here?" Ran only noticed Aragaki Yu who had been standing there the other day.

Hello, Xiaolan!

"Ran, do you know each other?" Eri Kisaki looked at her daughter and Yuu Aragaki with curiosity.

“I haven’t had a chance to explain to you yet, Attorney Kisaki,” Aragaki Yu explained. “This semester, I transferred to Teitan High School and I’m in the same class as your daughter.”

“Japan is really small. Since you are Ran’s classmate, you are also my junior. You don’t need to call me Lawyer Kii so formally anymore. Just call me Auntie.” Kii Eri said with a smile.

“This…” Aragaki Yu hesitated.

"It's okay! Aragaki, we're friends," Ran chimed in, "and my mom is the kindest person I know."
