The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Could it be the influence of the world consciousness of the Detective Conan world?

Yuu Aragaki didn't want to dwell on the past anymore, but he had absolutely no recollection of the case that was about to unfold.

Yuu Aragaki sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Conan's sleeping face and his dark eye sockets.

In addition, Xiaolan would occasionally cast concerned glances at him from not far away.

After much deliberation, he managed to resist the urge to slap Conan across the face to wake him up.

……

After tidying up the bedding, Aragaki Yu got up and prepared to go outside.

"Aragaki? Where are you going?"

Kogoro Mouri had already dozed off, but Ran noticed Yu Aragaki's actions.

"Want to go ghost hunting?" Aragaki Yu smiled at Ran. "Don't you think this temple is eerie?"

"!?"

Ran's gaze froze instantly upon seeing Yuu Aragaki's eerie smile.

It's not that she's overthinking things.

Xiaolan really had a bad feeling.

From the very beginning, Xiaolan felt that something was off about both the mountain forest where the car tire blew out and the temple.

"No! No need!"

Because several people were sharing a room, Xiaolan didn't change her clothes. She immediately crawled into her own bed and covered her head with the blanket.

Yu Aragaki strolled alone in the temple corridor.

Since they can't recall what happened next in the case.

Aragaki Yuuya decided to take the simplest approach: wait and see.

At least he was certain that the next case would be related to that interesting little room.

He had originally planned to have Yuki-onna and Yoto-hime lie in wait in the room.

But no matter how generous the reward he offered.

The Snow Woman and the Demon Sword Princess lay motionless in the Yin-Yang space, ignoring him, appearing to be completely asleep.

You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

There's no other way but to go and see for myself.

Fortunately, when Nian Kuan and others took him on a tour of the temple earlier, Aragaki Yu had already memorized the layout of the temple.

Therefore, it didn't take much time; Aragaki Yu even managed to go to the restroom before groping his way to the "confinement room."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the temple.

Among the disciples of the four senior abbots, the youngest, and also a monk who had only recently arrived, was Xiu Nian.

He was actually the younger brother of the monk Zhongnian who was killed by the "Mist Tengu" back then.

Because he believed in science, he could never accept the reason why his brother was killed by the Tengu.

Therefore, he changed his name and, with the help of distant relatives, was introduced to Shanni Temple to practice Buddhism, hoping to find out the true cause of his brother's death and find the real murderer.

Over the course of six months, through her relentless search for clues in the temple, the clever Xiu Nian has found clues to the bizarre murder case from years ago.

However, because no one wanted to talk about the case from back then, Xiu Nian still couldn't determine who the murderer was.

Even at dinner tonight, after learning that Kogoro Mouri was a detective, the abbot's strange attitude was really too abnormal.

Xiu Nian immediately understood that the abbot must be involved in what happened back then.

Therefore, when the others weren't paying attention, Xiu Nian found the abbot's room and drank with him.

Finally, after the abbot got completely drunk, they successfully extracted the truth about the incident from him.

Upon learning the truth, Xiu Nian felt extremely conflicted as she looked at the abbot before her.

Grief, anger, disbelief—a mix of emotions welled up inside him.

Later, regardless of the reason, Xiu Nian begged the abbot to turn himself in and atone for the sins of his brother whom he had killed years ago.

Still unaware that Xiu Nian was the abbot of Zhong Nian's younger brother's temple, he burst into laughter while holding his wine cup.

Then, slurring his words with drunkenness, he said dismissively, "It happened two years ago, and there's no more evidence left! Why should I turn myself in!"

Looking at the abbot in front of her, Xiu Nian could not believe that this was the same master who was usually so kind to them.

"But, Abbot..."

What he didn't expect was that the abbot's next words enraged him even more.

"And thanks to that incident, our temple has become famous! Because it's the temple where the Mist Tengu appears! Hahahaha!"

Enraged to the point of losing her mind, Xiu Nian glared at the abbot, then suddenly pulled out a rope she had prepared from her bosom and rushed behind the abbot.

Just like how the abbot strangled his own brother back then, he wanted to strangle the abbot and then use the same method the old abbot used to frame everything on the legend of the Tengu.

"Since you like the Mist Tengu so much! Then please experience what it's like to be killed by the Mist Tengu!"

Chapter 88 Is there really a Mist Tengu?!

……

Suddenly, Xiu Nian froze as she strangled the old abbot with the rope, and the old abbot, who had sobered up from the shock, also forgot to struggle.

Both of them looked up, somewhat stunned, at Aragaki Yuu who had suddenly opened the room door.

Standing at the door of the room, Aragaki Yu was also somewhat bewildered as he looked at the abbot and Shuen, who were tangled up inside.

It turns out that Aragaki Yu, who thought he had memorized the layout of all the rooms in the temple, still managed to go to the wrong room and ended up witnessing, by a twist of fate, the scene of Shunen about to kill the old abbot.

"You...you guys continue!"

After a three-second silence in the room, Aragaki Yu, expressionless as if nothing had happened, slammed the door shut behind him and left the room.

Abbot: ...

Xiunian:......

Startled by Aragaki Yu's sudden intrusion, Xiu Nian looked blankly at the door and then at the rope around the abbot's neck, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

What's wrong with this person?

If a normal person saw this, even if they didn't rush over to stop it, they would at least shout for help, right?

Xiu Nian's mind was a complete mess at this moment. After exchanging a glance with the abbot she was holding, she actually asked, "Shall we... continue?"

Abbot: ? ? ?

At this moment, the old abbot, who had suddenly come to his senses, finally remembered that his life was in danger. Although he found Aragaki Yu outside the door a bit strange, he still struggled to shout, "Help! Help! Murder!"

"Go ahead and scream! No one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out! You demon!" Looking at the old abbot struggling in her hands, Xiu Nian felt for a moment that she seemed to have awakened some strange fetish.

boom!

Just as Xiu Nian was about to deliver the fatal blow once again, a figure appeared at the door of the room and slowly pushed the door open.

The next second, Aragaki Yu, who had just left, actually returned to the room.

Aragaki Yu looked the two people in the strange position up and down, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Abbot, what are you doing? Is this a bondage play?"

The old abbot and Xiu Nian: ...

Suddenly, they all felt that this guy was seriously ill.

"Help! He...he's going to kill me!"

Although he felt deep down that Aragaki Yu was unreliable, the head priest still looked at Aragaki Yu as if he had seen a savior and asked for his help.

Xiu Nian's expression changed, and she looked somewhat at a loss: "!"

The abbot also took the opportunity to break free of the rope around his neck from Xiu Nian, and then scrambled to hide behind Aragaki Yu.

After ensuring his own safety, the abbot angrily pointed at Xiu Nian and said to Xin Yuan You, "It's him! That ungrateful brat!"

Looking at Aragaki Yu, who was much taller than herself, Xiu Nian knew that she had no way to kill the abbot under his nose.

Feeling extremely frustrated for not being more decisive, Xiu Nian collapsed helplessly to the ground.

But when he heard the abbot's accusations, he couldn't contain his anger and roared at the abbot, "It's all because of you that my brother was killed!"

"Your brother? You're saying Zhongnian is your brother!" The abbot was puzzled at first, then looked at Xiunian in shock.

At this moment, he finally understood why Xiu Nian couldn't help but attack him after hearing what he had just said.

“That’s right!” Xiu Nian said through gritted teeth.

Just as Xiu Nian was about to reveal the truth about everything to Aragaki Yu.

Aragaki Yu interrupted Xiu Nian, saying, "Let's wait until the police arrive before we talk, so you don't have to repeat yourself later."

Xiunian:......

He didn't want to hear Xiu Nian repeat the plot he already knew.
