The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Why would Gin target me?!

Has Conan's secret been exposed?

Or was it during the roller coaster at Dorobiga Park, or the bombing on the Shinkansen?

Yuu Aragaki's brain began to work at lightning speed as he pondered how to escape his current predicament.

Kill him?!

A dangerous thought popped into Aragaki Yu's mind.

Or should we flee first, without knowing the situation?

If he were to simply try to escape, he would at best become like Sherry in the future, a hidden mouse in front of Gin.

However, if the existence of the Snow Woman were to be exposed as a last resort, he would inevitably become a target of the Dark Organization.

Yuuka Aragaki doesn't want to be a guinea pig for any organization.

Putting aside the fact that, based solely on their current severely compressed strength, they might not be able to completely silence Gin and Vodka.

After all, the loaded, gleaming gun that Gin had placed on the coffee table was no mere decoration.

Who says that people with special abilities can necessarily dodge bullets?

Moreover, Aragaki Yu is now highly skeptical of the fighting abilities of the characters in the Detective Conan world.

After all, if an anime can shoot down a satellite while playing soccer, isn't it really not some kind of superpowered battle anime?

Who knows if the Gin in front of us is an ordinary person or not? After all, what normal person could be an organization's model worker for so many episodes?

Besides, even if they manage to kill Gin and Vodka by sheer luck, what if they send some message to the organization before they die, or what if other members of the organization know about Gin's actions?

Then one cannot escape the fate of being exposed.

Gin is no ordinary person either; even the fleeting change in Aragaki Yu's pupils did not escape his attention.

"Oh? Looks like you recognize me!" Gin's smile suddenly widened.

Aragaki Yu's inner alarm bells were ringing!

He understood that the more he knew in Gin's eyes, the harder it would be for him to escape this fate.

Just as Aragaki Yu was racking his brains trying to come up with a reason, Gin confidently said, "Heh, kid, it's the bombing on the Shinkansen, isn't it!"

He casually lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and continued, "When I found out the Shinkansen train hadn't been blown up, I knew things weren't that simple. I guess that's when you noticed our presence and disposed of the bomb!"

Vodka at the door, after hearing his older brother's words, also gave Aragaki Yu a cruel smile.

Looking at Gin, who was explaining things to him, Aragaki Yu forced himself to keep his lips from twitching.

Seeing Aragaki Yu's constipated expression, Gin naturally assumed he had guessed the reason correctly, took a satisfied drag of his cigarette, and then exhaled a smoke ring.

"But could it be that the Black Organization has taken notice of me because of this?" Yuu Aragaki wondered.

Seemingly sensing Aragaki Yu's confusion, Gin stated directly, "Actually, we've been watching you for a long time!"

Gin's words rang in Aragaki Yu's ears like a thunderclap.

"This? How is this possible?"

Before Aragaki Yu could think further, Gin spoke again: "Aragaki Yu, I heard that you stayed in this city because of your parents. Well then, I'm giving you a chance now. Would you like to learn more about your parents?"

"Parents?" Gin's words clearly stunned Yuu Aragaki. No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't have imagined that the reason the Black Organization noticed him was because of the original owner's parents.

Were the original owner's parents not just simple Onmyoji?

Could it be that it's related to a criminal organization?

Looking at Gin and Vodka, who were sneering, Aragaki Yu was filled with doubt and unease.

Chapter 58 Just a toy gun

Gin has been quite troubled lately.

It even got to the point where he lost a lot of his once-proud silver hair.

Gin, a "corporate slave," works for a company called the "Black Organization."

Being responsible for security within the organization mainly involves eliminating enemies, eradicating traitors, and silencing members whose identities have been exposed or who have lost their value.

Of course, they also occasionally take on extra tasks such as trading, rescue, and making money.

However, Gin gradually realized that he seemed to be the only one in the organization who was working hard.

His so-called companions, apart from the good-for-nothings and slackers, were all traitors.

Especially recently, the organization has not only seen traitors among its key personnel, but has also suffered the loss of many core members.

His own intelligence sources, in particular, suffered a devastating blow.

Although there are high-ranking officers in the organization who are specifically responsible for intelligence gathering, that woman is indeed a troublesome one for Gin.

Simply put, Gin is really short of people right now.

Just over two months ago, Gin happened to hear the name Yuu Aragaki on a Shinkansen train.

At that moment, the name "Aragaki-san" immediately came to Gin's mind.

On the surface, it is a Yin-Yang House that has been thriving in recent years, but in reality, it is an external agency closely cooperating with the organization and managed by Gin.

The homeowners at the time, Mr. and Mrs. Aragaki, were renowned Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) and were highly sought after by many high-ranking officials and nobles.

After all, in this society, whether it's underworld tycoons or royalty, many old guys really believe in this kind of thing.

Therefore, in a relatively short period of time, the Aragaki family's Yin-Yang House amassed an extremely complex network of interpersonal relationships by accepting invitations from people from all walks of life.

Gin also obtained a lot of secret information that was difficult to collect through it.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

Not long ago, the Aragaki couple, who were about to be promoted to cadres of the organization, both died during a secret mission.

At first, the organization thought it was the work of hostile elements, but the employer who commissioned the mission was an extremely mysterious figure.

Despite the organization expending significant manpower and resources on the investigation, no useful clues were obtained, and the matter was ultimately dropped.

However, for Gin personally, it was nothing short of a devastating blow to his intelligence capabilities.

Gin did consider finding someone to take over and continue the Yin-Yang House business.

However, there is no suitable candidate available at the moment.

Capable people are those who are indispensable in their respective fields, but who haven't yet gained enough trust.

As for the die-hard loyalists cultivated by other organizations from childhood, most of them are just a bunch of cannon fodder with only fighting skills and no brains.

Of course, Gin did consider Aragaki Yu, the only son of the Aragaki couple, since he was nominally the rightful successor of the Aragaki clan's Onmyoji lineage.

However, Gin had already thoroughly investigated various aspects of the Aragaki couple's family before he began to give them important positions.

Gin didn't think highly of someone who was so withdrawn and whose abilities weren't particularly outstanding.

Furthermore, the Aragaki couple were extremely averse to the organization contacting their child, even going so far as to keep themselves away from their child to prevent him from accidentally coming into contact with information about the organization.

Therefore, Gin did not have much contact with Aragaki Yu.

But Gin didn't expect the surprise to come so unexpectedly.

The explosion on the Shinkansen train brought this guy back into Gin's notice.

The investigation also revealed that Yuu Aragaki has made great progress in his interpersonal skills. Based on his recent performance, he has shown that his social skills are no less than those of his parents.

But the sudden change surprised Gin, and the usually cautious man made a deal with Vermouth as a result.

Vermouth disguised herself as Yuu Aragaki's distant cousin to conduct a close-up investigation.

Unexpectedly, the information obtained from this made Gin even more overjoyed.

Just because of the first thing Vermouth said to him when they met—

"That interesting little fellow seems to have noticed that there's something wrong with my identity, and he's always testing me with strange behavior."

Remarkable insight?

In addition, there was the agile skill that Aragaki Yu displayed during the sudden attack with vodka, although it still seemed a bit immature.

But Gin is becoming increasingly satisfied with the tense-looking Aragaki Yu in front of him.

As for reliability, what could be more reassuring than a second-generation gangster with a "clean" family background?

While it wasn't quite enough to be called trust, Gin wasn't going to let him get directly involved in the organization's affairs.

Simply trying to explore and develop opportunities is always a good idea.

Seeing Aragaki Yu's confusion, Gin said, "Now you can ask any questions you have."

"Who are you?" Aragaki Yu naturally couldn't show that he knew anything about the organization or Gin.

"Gin is one of us," Gin replied with a cold laugh.

Aragaki Yu: "..."

Believe it or not.

Gin seemed to have given an answer, but in reality, he said nothing at all.
