The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

While inspecting the black briefcase, Officer Nishimura replied, "We are still actively investigating the case."

"But, but..." Mrs. Izumo was about to say something.

Officer Nishimura opened the briefcase and was surprised to find that he took out the contents: "This, isn't this a shotgun?"

"Yes..." Fearing that the police would suspect that she was the murderer, Mrs. Izumo quickly explained, "Because my hobby is shooting clay, and I originally wanted to go to Hokkaido to shoot clay."

"Hmm." Officer Nishimura nodded, without saying anything more.

After smelling the shotgun barrel, he put it back in his briefcase, then walked out of Mrs. Izumo's private room and confirmed with his subordinates outside, "It seems there's no one else inside."

"Yes!" The policeman outside the door nodded in agreement.

"Next is your room." Officer Nishiyama then walked towards Kagawa Rize's private room.

“Okay!” Kagoshi Toshiro did not stop them either, and directly led the police officer and Kogoro Mouri into his private room.

During the search, Officer Nishimura and Kogoro Mouri also found a suitcase containing fishing gear in the private room.

According to Toshiyuki Kagetsu, this fishing tackle belonged to his boss, Keitaro Izumo.

Because Keitaro Izumo's hobby is river fishing, Toshiyuki Kagoshi often helps his boss carry fishing gear.

Next, at Kazuki Toshiyuki's suggestion, they searched the room of Izumo Keitaro himself, which was located opposite his private room.

However, nothing suspicious was found.

"Next, it's this compartment next to the stairs." After going down a flight of stairs, Officer Nishimura arrived at a private room that was a bit further away and knocked on the door.

However, after Officer Nishimura knocked on the door for a long time, no one inside responded.

Just as Officer Xishan was about to lose his temper, a chubby man wearing headphones suddenly opened the door and asked the group blocking his way, "Is there something you need?"

After Officer Nishiyama identified himself and made his request, he also found a bamboo sword on the bed in his room.

The reason he didn't notice the knocking was because he was sitting on the bed, listening to music with headphones on, while repairing the broken parts of the bamboo sword.

"Damn it! This is never going to end!"

After emerging from the chubby men's private room, Officer Nishimura's expression finally began to show signs of impatience.

"With so many private rooms, how long will it take to search them all? I think we should split up and investigate..."

Just as Officer Nishiyama was giving instructions to his subordinates, the door to a private room not far away was suddenly opened.

Then, the drunken Mayor Shi Chui staggered from the private room into the aisle, looking at the people in the aisle and grumbling angrily, "What's going on out there? You've even woken me up!"

Seeing someone leave his private room, Officer Nishimura walked up to him and asked, "Where is your room?"

"It's on the second floor of this staircase..." Shi Chui, who was drunk and somewhat unsteady on his feet, pointed to the staircase behind him and said shakily.

"Then I want to go in and take a look!"

Before Shi Chui could react, Officer Xishan immediately went into his room.

"What, what are you trying to do?!" Shi Chui Kou Shige quickly followed him back into his own private room after someone barged in without his permission, his expression clearly showing displeasure.

Conan, who had been following behind, quickly caught up with Inspector Nishimura and Akishige Ishitsuchi after seeing Mayor Akishige, who seemed to have had a verbal altercation with Keitaro Izumo in the dining car, and crept outside the private room.

"Hey, why are you barging in like this!"

Seeing the guy rummaging through his private room, Shi Chui Huangzhong angrily rebuked him.

In the shaky, rocky private room, the most conspicuous thing was a large bag leaning against the wall. Officer Nishimura also squatted down, opened the bag and inspected it: "Hmm, this is a golf bag!"

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to call the police!" Ishizuki Koujiro threatened the guy who had inexplicably barged into his private room.

Shi Chui Kouzhong thought that this guy would be scared and run away after hearing that he was going to call the police, but he didn't expect that the other party would just give him a meaningful look.

From Ishihammer's perspective, the guy's expression had a slightly eerie quality.

Just as doubts began to creep into his mind, Officer Nishimura, who had finished inspecting the private room, stood up and calmly replied, "You don't need to bother calling the police, because I am a police officer. What, is there something you're unhappy about?"

"???"

Still not fully sober, Shi Chui was completely dumbfounded.

Chapter 266 Your Wig Gives It Away

dong dong dong.

Meanwhile, while everyone's attention was focused on Shikihami Kou's room, Aragaki Yu, who had somehow broken away from the group, knocked on the door of a private room not far away.

"Ok?"

As the door to the private room opened, Akechi Fumiyo, who was standing at the door, paused slightly upon seeing Aragaki Yu outside.

She had assumed that the person knocking on her door at this time would be either the police conducting an investigation outside or the little guy.

However, she quickly composed herself and smiled slightly at Aragaki Yu, saying, "What's wrong, little brother? Is there something you need from me?"

"I just have some questions that I'd like to ask Miss Akechi." Aragaki Yu glanced at the group who were about to finish searching Ishitsumi Akashige's room and said to Akechi Fumiyo, "I wonder if you would mind if I came in and we talked?"

Following Aragaki Yu's gaze, Akechi Fumiyo also noticed the group of people who were about to leave the private room.

Although she didn't know what Aragaki Yu's purpose was in suddenly approaching her, she didn't hesitate for long before stepping aside from the doorway of the private room and nodding to Aragaki Yu, saying, "Of course I don't mind, please come in."

"That's strange, Miss Akechi, is this the only handbag you have for your trip?"

While Akechi Fumiyo was closing the door, Aragaki Yu glanced around the room and asked with some confusion.

"Ok?"

Turning around, Fumiyo Akechi walked back to her bed, straightened the hem of her clothes, and sat on the edge of the bed.

She crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes fixed on Aragaki Yu, but her expression was completely hidden by her sunglasses.

"Because this time I just wanted to go to Hokkaido, at least."

"Riding a horse?" Aragaki Yu looked at her with some surprise.

Fumiyo Akechi smiled at Yuu Aragaki: "Yes, little brother, is there a problem?"

"Your outfit isn't suitable for horseback riding, is it?" Aragaki Yu asked after looking Akechi Fumiyo up and down. "And the tools you need for horseback riding don't seem like they could fit in this bag."

Akechi Fumio gestured to the seat opposite him, politely indicating that Aragaki Yuu should sit down and chat. He then explained, "You mean culottes, right? I'll change into those when we get to the riding stable. As for the riding gear, I'm just saying that my current gear is too old, so I'm going to buy new ones there, including riding boots and gloves."

"I see." Aragaki Yu nodded and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Aragaki Yu didn't know much about horseback riding, so he wasn't sure if there was anything wrong with what Akechi Fumiyo said.

"So, little brother, what brings you here so late at night?" Seeing that Aragaki Yu didn't seem to be leaving anytime soon, Akechi Fumiyo asked.

"Yes, Miss Akechi, it's like this. Not long ago, an incident occurred on this train."

Fumiyo Akechi didn't hide anything: "I know that. I was near the dining car when the incident happened, so I probably know what happened."

"It would be best if you were willing to admit this, because I also noticed that just before the shooting, I noticed you were lingering around that carriage, and you seemed to be constantly watching Mr. Izumo who was shot. And just when the perpetrator appeared, you disappeared without a trace."

When asked by Aragaki Yu, Akechi Fumiyo did not appear nervous.

"Oh, you mean this? The reason I left that carriage was because I needed to go to the restroom, and the reason I kept paying attention to Mr. Izumo was because I was a little sensitive to the smell of the cigars he smoked."

After explaining, Fumiyo Akechi looked up and stared into Yuu Aragaki's eyes, smiling, "I don't think you suspect me of being the murderer just because of these reasons, do you, little brother?"

"Of course not." Aragaki Yu naturally wouldn't dwell on that point.

Because he knew very well that the two points mentioned above did not actually prove anything.

He approached Akechi Fumiyo for other reasons, of course.

Noticing Fumiyo Akechi's gaze, Yu Aragaki did not look away, but calmly met her eyes.

"..."

There was a sudden silence in the private room for a few seconds. Just as Fumiyo Akechi, feeling a little uncomfortable, was about to look away, Yuu Aragaki suddenly spoke again.

“Miss Akechi, the hair under your wig is showing.”

"Um……!?"

Upon hearing Aragaki Yu's words, Akechi Fumiyo was also suddenly stunned, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, and she unconsciously reached for her hair.

However, just as her hand touched her hair, she remembered that she had specifically checked her attire before opening the door after hearing the knock, and there was nothing wrong with it.

How could such a basic flaw as a wig be exposed?

When she turned her gaze back to Yuu Aragaki's face with surprise and noticed his ambiguous smile, she realized that he was quite serious.

She then realized that she had been tricked by the boy.

Knowing that she had been exposed, Fumiyo Akechi took off her sunglasses and gave Yuu Aragaki a deep look with her beautiful and captivating eyes.

Involuntarily, I recalled the scene when I first met this boy.

At the time, I was holding the unconscious Conan. If Professor Agasa hadn't been nearby, I probably would have been taken to the police station by that guy, Yuu Aragaki.

Even if she were taken to the police station, it wouldn't be a big problem, as she could quickly explain the situation to the police once Yusaku arrived. But that would be too embarrassing for her.

Fumiyo Akechi, or rather, Yukiko Fujimine, couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Hmph, what a wretched brat!"

Aragaki Yu looked at Akechi Fumiyo and said with a smile, "I think that by sneaking around the crime scene and wearing such a suspicious disguise, even the police would have to be suspicious of your motives, Miss Akechi."

In fact, Aragaki Yu had noticed Akechi Fumiyo not long after he saw her in the train car where the incident occurred.

Although it was so long ago that his memory had become hazy, making it difficult for him to recall the general plot, he couldn't quite remember it.
