The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Aragaki Yu suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. He finally remembered who this woman in front of him, who seemed so familiar, was!

He couldn't help but turn to look at the short-haired woman, only to find that she not only maintained a calm and composed demeanor, but was also smiling as she watched the scene before her.

When she noticed Aragaki Yu looking at her, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, the robber holding the dagger noticed the woman who hadn't knelt down with her hands on her head as he had ordered, and he couldn't help but get angry: "I told you to kneel down! Didn't you hear me? You damn woman!"

Despite the robber's shouts, the short-haired woman remained unfazed. After glancing at the cashier, she calmly said, "20 seconds left."

"What!?"

The robber was somewhat puzzled by what the woman said, but a strange sense of unease rose deep within him.

He unconsciously brandished the dagger in his hand as he approached the short-haired woman, cautiously on guard.

“I said, you have 20 seconds left to speak… oh no, now you only have 5 seconds left.”

"Damn woman, what nonsense are you spouting!" The kidnapper brandished his dagger, ready to teach the insane woman a lesson. "I see you're going to have to suffer the consequences!"

"Ding!"

Just then, the microwave oven in the cashier's counter suddenly finished heating up, and the already highly tense robber reflexively looked towards the microwave oven.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the woman darted forward and grabbed the wrist of the robber who was pointing a dagger at her.

The robber realized he had been tricked and turned around to try to break free from her grasp, but he didn't expect the woman in front of him to be so agile.

She swiftly raised her right foot and kicked the robber's knee. The criminal, unable to dodge in time, collapsed to the ground in pain.

The short-haired woman also took the opportunity to leap behind the robber, lock him with her arms, and pin him to the ground.

The robber struggled desperately, but the short-haired woman held him tightly, giving him no chance to resist.

The helpless robber, in desperation, finally remembered his henchmen. Realizing that no one had come to his rescue, he turned to his accomplice and angrily shouted, "What are you doing! Idiot, why don't you kill this woman...?!"

He swallowed his words halfway through, because he discovered that his underling had been knocked to the ground and unconscious by the boy who had been squatting nearby.

The boy was weighing the baseball bat he had snatched from his underling and gesturing at himself.

The robber could clearly sense the strange excitement in the boy's eyes as he looked at him.

In that instant, looking at the boy in front of him, he felt that he was full of malice.

However, seemingly because of the short-haired woman who was holding him, the kidnapper noticed that the boy hesitated for a moment, then sighed and threw away the baseball bat in his hand.

The robber, seeing the rather regretful expression on the boy's face and hearing the dull thud of the baseball bat falling to the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the short-haired woman who was still subduing the robber suddenly spoke up: "Your skills are indeed impressive! Long time no see, young man!"

Yuu Aragaki naturally recognized the short-haired woman in front of him: "How can I compare to you, Officer Sato!"

Indeed, the short-haired woman in front of him was none other than Sato Miwako, the policewoman who appeared with Inspector Megure during the kidnapping of the wealthy woman's daughter in the school warehouse that Aragaki Yu met.

Because Aragaki Yuu had never seen Inspector Sato by Inspector Megure's side in the various cases that followed, he didn't recognize her in her civilian clothes at the beginning of today.

Hearing the conversation between the two, the robber was shocked!

What are you talking about!

Officer Sato?

police officer……!?

He was suddenly filled with regret, and he couldn't help but wonder what kind of luck he had had.

I finally wanted to earn some extra money, and I ended up going to this kind of person.

A highly skilled policewoman, and a strange boy who just doesn't seem right...

"Thanks to you this time! Um..." Although Officer Sato had a deep impression of the handsome young man in front of him, he suddenly couldn't remember his name.

"Yuu Aragaki." Yuu Aragaki naturally noticed Officer Sato's embarrassment and casually offered a reminder.

"Haha, I'm so sorry! We've caught so many criminals lately, and there are so many names to remember. I accidentally forgot your name, Aragaki-kun!" Officer Sato didn't try to hide it. After laughing heartily twice, he frankly admitted that he didn't remember Aragaki Yu's name.

Are there too many criminals caught?

He suddenly felt speechless. Could it be that in Officer Sato's mind, he was on par with those criminals?

Left with no other option, Aragaki Yuya could only manage an awkward yet polite laugh: "Hehehe..."

Chapter 95 Officer Sato

Yuu Aragaki waved his hand in front of the dazed Kato and said, "Hey, time to snap out of it!"

Ms. Kato stared at him and Officer Sato in utter shock: "You, you guys are too amazing..."

"Please call the police quickly, Ms. Kato!" Although Officer Sato was also there, Yuu Aragaki didn't seem to be at work at all.

Ms. Kato didn't react for a moment: "Huh...? What did you say?"

"Call the police!"

Ms. Kato seemed a little embarrassed: "Ah, yes!"

……

"Aragaki-kun, I'm really sorry to have troubled you this time!"

After his colleagues picked up the two robbers in a police car, Officer Sato once again expressed his gratitude to Yuu Aragaki.

"You're welcome!" Aragaki Yu replied to Officer Sato while patiently waiting for Ms. Kato to pay for her purchases at the checkout counter.

However, seeing Ms. Kato gazing at him with flirtatious eyes while her hands moved slowly.

Yuya Aragaki knew he wouldn't be able to pay right away.

"Speaking of which, how did Officer Sato end up here?" Aragaki Yu suddenly remembered.

He didn't remember Officer Sato living in this neighborhood.

"Hah~" Officer Sato couldn't help but yawn when he heard Aragaki Yu mention this. "I was keeping watch around here last night, and I just finished handing over my shift to Takagi. I was thinking of just buying something to eat for breakfast and then going back to rest, but I didn't expect to end up working overtime."

She looked a little unhappy.

After all, nobody believes they'll be forced to work overtime when they're on vacation.

Aragaki Yu smiled and said in a flattering tone, "The capable are always given more work!"

"I think it's just bad luck..." Officer Sato explained seriously, "I don't know why, but I feel like there have been more and more cases happening in the last three or four months."

Aragaki Yu:......

He silently calculated in his mind and found that the time point that Officer Sato mentioned did indeed match the time when Conan appeared.

Then there's no problem.

The increase in cases is not due to my own fault.

(At this moment, Conan, on his way to school, suddenly sneezed: "Achoo!")

……

"Then I'll leave the matter of taking the statement to you, Officer Sato!"

Because Officer Sato was present, the police officers did not take the people there away early in the morning when they left.

They only gave them verbal instructions, asking them to go to the police station as soon as possible to complete the routine statement taking.

"Huh!? Aragaki-kun, aren't you going to give a statement?" Officer Sato narrowed his eyes as he looked at Aragaki Yu, who was trying to avoid giving a statement.

Looking at Aragaki Yu's appearance, Officer Sato couldn't help but think of a guy who had made escaping police interrogation a daily occurrence.

High school detective—Shinichi Kudo!

However, when Officer Sato mentioned this guy, he was surprised to find that although there had been more cases recently, Shinichi Kudo had stopped showing up.

(On his way to school, Conan sneezed again: "Achoo!" He couldn't help but touch his head in confusion. Strange, could it be that he caught a cold?)

Yuu Aragaki, of course, had already prepared his excuse: "I still have to go to school!"

After all, there's no benefit to it, so who wants to travel all the way to the police station?

"Going to school?" Officer Sato looked Aragaki Yuu up and down as he arrived at the convenience store empty-handed, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"My schoolbag is still at home. I just got up early to go out and buy some things." Yuya Aragaki knew what Officer Sato suspected, so he explained.

Just then, Ms. Kato also packed up all the things that Aragaki Yu had selected and handed them over.

"Thank you for your patronage. The total is 4869 yen."

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Kato." Yuu Aragaki silently took out his wallet from his pocket to pay.

Yuu Aragaki rummaged through his wallet but couldn't find enough change. Just as he pulled out a 10,000 yen bill, he heard Officer Sato's quiet voice.

"No, I mean, you seem to be going to be late..."

Aragaki Yu:! ! !

After a three-second pause, he snapped out of his shock and looked up at the clock on the wall: "How come it's already 7:30!"

He then realized that he had indeed spent a considerable amount of time subduing the robber, waiting for the police, and chatting with Officer Sato.

Aragaki Yu dropped the 10,000 yen bill in his hand, grabbed a shopping bag from the counter, and prepared to rush home.

"Wait a minute, Aragaki, you haven't taken your change yet!" Ms. Kato was still calculating how much change she needed, but when she looked up, she only saw Aragaki Yu's retreating figure.
