The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

When he finished speaking, Yusaku Kudo turned his gaze to Toshiyuki Kagoshi, whose wrist he had grabbed, and the meaning was self-evident.

"what!!!"

Looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Kazuki Toshiro's eyes were filled with fear and surprise.

He couldn't understand why someone would suddenly appear in this place.

Although Kazuki Toshiro's face was somewhat pale and he was equally terrified, he still tried his best to deny it: "You... what nonsense are you talking about? The murderer is that guy named Asama. People saw him shoot our boss and escape through the car window!"

"The Asama-san they saw was actually you in disguise, wasn't he?" Kudo Yusaku said, looking at Kazue Toshiyuki.

Kagoshi looked at Kudo Yusaku with some surprise.

At this moment, Kudo Yusaku finally released Kazuki Toshiro's wrist, and at the same time, he continued to explain: "Asama was originally a fugitive robber, so it was very easy for him to pretend to be someone who was always avoiding attention."

"How do you explain the fact that the murderer escaped from the train window?" Kagetsu tried hard to remain calm. "But I was on the train the whole time!"

Hearing Kazuki Toshiyuki's explanation, Kudo Yusaku shook his head helplessly: "Well, all of this is just an illusion you've created. You don't really think you can fool everyone, do you?"

"Hmm...!?" Kagetsu Rize was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and somewhat awkwardly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He didn't quite understand what Yusaku Kudo meant.

Even that eyewitness, the legendary detective Kogoro Mouri, had been fooled by him!

Yusaku Kudo ignored the change in Toshiyuki Kagoshi's expression and continued, "Even those who haven't read my unfinished novel have noticed this ridiculous tactic."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, it was Yukiko Kudo who was standing to the side who opened her mouth wide in surprise, looking incredulous.

She initially thought that the person her husband Yusaku was referring to as someone who hadn't been deceived was himself.

Or perhaps it's myself, or Shinichi.

But judging from his tone, it seemed like there was someone else at all.

Before she could think further, Kudo Yusaku turned to look at Aragaki Yu, who had been standing silently to the side: "Right, young man!"

Yuu Aragaki was clearly taken aback when Yusaku Kudo suddenly called on him.

"Ah."

However, he quickly came to his senses and noticed that there was nothing else in Kudo Yusaku's eyes when he looked at him. Aragaki Yu readily nodded in acknowledgment.

Noticing Conan and Yukiko Kudo's unnatural behavior, and combining it with his fragmented memories from his past life, he already knew that the culprit in this case was Toshiro Kagoshi, even before he got off the train.

After overhearing Yukiko Kudo's unnatural remarks to the police in the train carriage, he quickly guessed that Yukiko Kudo and Conan were planning to lure out the culprit.

So as soon as he got off the train, he had Yuki-onna secretly follow the prisoner Kagawa Rize and keep an eye on his every move.

Meanwhile, he himself remained lingering around Yukiko Kudo.

After all, Conan and Yukiko Kudo's plan, though seemingly flawless.

But he knew very well that in this world of Conan, with Conan's existence, all sorts of bizarre accidents and episodes were bound to happen.

as predicted.

Yuu Aragaki soon discovers that Conan, because of Ran, has lost track of his protectee, Yukiko Kudo, thus giving the culprit an opportunity to silence her.

However, to Aragaki Yuu's surprise, he did not notice Kudo Yusaku until he intervened to stop Kagoshi Toshiyuki from pushing Kudo Yukiko off the tracks.

But he was genuinely surprised that he was able to appear behind Yukiko Kudo at the same time as him and stop Toshinori Kagoshi.

As expected, none of the main characters in the world of Detective Conan are simple.

"Yukiko, if it weren't for the surprised look in your eyes when you turned around and saw this boy, I would have thought that you and he had orchestrated this scheme to lure the snake out of its hole."

Kudo Yusaku gave Yukiko a look that was both indulgent and reproachful before continuing, "Now it seems that this boy must have started to suspect the culprit's identity on the train, so he stayed by his side until he noticed that the culprit wanted to harm you, which is why he showed up to stop Mr. Kakoshi. But in the end, Yukiko, you were too reckless."

"Hehehe..." Yukiko grinned awkwardly. She couldn't explain to Yusaku Kudo that she had actually arranged for Shinichi to be her backup plan.

I just didn't expect Shinichi to be so unreliable...

"Is...is that so, little brother Aragaki?" Kudo Yukiko looked at Aragaki Yuu with some surprise.

Although at the beginning of the train journey, he had the idea of ​​relying on Aragaki Yu to solve the case.

However, after Shinichi found out who the culprit was and they discussed a plan to lure the culprit out, he completely gave up on asking Aragaki Yu for help.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that not only his son Shinichi, but also Yuu Aragaki discovered the suspicious aspects of Toshiyuki Kagetsu.

Thinking of this, Yukiko Kudo suddenly gritted her teeth, feeling a bit angry and itchy.

She gave Aragaki Yu a slightly reproachful look, as if to say, "You know everything, but you refuse to tell her, and then you just listen to her flawed reasoning like nothing happened and enjoy it."

Chapter 279 Who exactly are you?!

Faced with Yukiko Kudo's complaints, Yuu Aragaki could only innocently shrug at her.

However, Yukiko Kudo gave a soft hum and turned her head to the side.

Seeing the interaction between Yukiko and Yuu Aragaki, Yusaku Kudo smiled helplessly.

He really didn't have any particularly good solutions when faced with his wife's little temper.

Therefore, he was somewhat helpless in the face of Aragaki Yu's current predicament. In order to ease Aragaki Yu's embarrassment, he had no choice but to quickly steer the conversation toward serious matters.

"I think you did it with that bag of fishing gear behind you."

Kawai Rize looked at the luggage behind him and his expression changed slightly.

"You actually killed Asama inside the carriage from the very beginning."

So you use a fishing line to go through the hole in his belt, break the glass, and hang the body outside the car window.

Next, pull both ends of the fishing line into your room. Tie one end of the line anywhere, and secure the other end using the reel in your fishing tackle. That completes the preparation.

Looking at Kazuki Toshiro's pale and bloodless face, Kudo Yusaku took a breath and continued, "Next, in the rest car, after you kill your boss, Mr. Izumo, immediately run to Asama's car and shoot at the window of Asama Yasuharu's private room in front of Mr. Mori."

Then, after firing a few threatening shots in the direction of the witness, Mr. Mori, he slipped and hid in the gap in the stairwell while they were taking cover.

Then, when Mr. Mori and the others look back this way again, as long as the fishing line tied to the reel is cut, the fishing line will be quickly wound up, and Asama's body will slide off the train.

At this point, the time it took for the murderer to escape into the train compartment would perfectly coincide with the time it took for the body to fall into the tunnel.

Yusaku Kudo spoke with absolute certainty, as if he had witnessed everything firsthand.

Even Yuu Aragaki was somewhat surprised, wondering how Yusaku Kudo had been able to analyze all of this in such a short time.

Although the murderer did indeed carry out his crime plan according to the plan in his novel.

However, it should be noted that the murderer made certain changes to the method of the crime based on the environment of the train.

Despite never having seen the crime scene, he was able to analyze everything to such an extent.

As expected, they are among the top people in the world of Detective Conan.

……

"In this way, you can successfully pin the blame for the murder on Asama Yasuji."

"But, but Mr. Mori clearly said that just before he ran to the murderer's private room, the door was closed by the murderer!"

Although she was in a state of extreme panic, Kayetari was still making a last-ditch effort.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot to mention that earlier."

Faced with Kazuki Ryori's explanation, Kudo Yusaku did not appear flustered. He continued to describe in a calm and unhurried tone, "On the door of the train compartment, there is a hook that looks like a lock. Just use a fishing line with tape stuck on it on the inside of the door to tie it to this hook, and tie one end to the fishing line you just mentioned."

When the fishing line is cut, the pull of Asama Yasuji's body falling onto the train will naturally pull the fishing line tied to the door lock. At this time, although the tape will immediately peel off, the train door will be automatically closed under this slight pulling force.

The best evidence was found inside the hole of the belt used to fish out the body; police investigation confirmed the presence of duct tape.

"But, but, the method you described might not necessarily be something I did! Others could have done it too..."

"How strange!"

Before Kazuki could finish speaking, Conan's voice came from behind him.

"How come that villain's clothes are in this uncle's bag? Oh, and sunglasses and a hat too! How could this be?"

It turned out that Conan had appeared behind Kazuki Toshiro at some point and was pretending to be a child, curiously rummaging through the contents of his bag.

Kagoshi Toshi's expression immediately turned even uglier after seeing what Conan had taken out of his bag.

"Little brother, you...!?"

"It's such a pity, Mr. Kakoshi." Kudo Yusaku, who was standing next to him, shook his head with regret when he saw this scene. "The biggest drawback of your method is that you can't dispose of these disguise props on the train. As long as someone checks your luggage, you will have no way to deny the crimes you have committed."

Knowing that there was no way to hide it any longer, Kagawa Rize silently lowered his head.

He said with a hint of self-deprecation, "My plan to commit a crime based on the plot of a novel was indeed a bit too optimistic. It was because it was an unpublished work by my favorite author that I thought it would definitely work!"

Just then, Aragaki Yu, who had been standing to the side, suddenly spoke up: "Although this may just be my guess, I think your motive is to avenge your female companion who died from poisoning in the past, right, Mr. Kakoshi?"

Kudo Yusaku turned his head and glanced at Aragaki Yu with some surprise, because he had just had the same thought.

But the boy in front of him immediately said it.

Yukiko Kudo and Conan, who had just finished packing up the clothes, both looked bewildered, clearly not understanding why Yuu Aragaki would suddenly say something like that.

However, they quickly realized from Kazuki Toshi's horrified expression that what Aragaki Yu said was true.

"So that's why you targeted Mr. Izumo, the jeweler who secretly sells illegal drugs. As for your boss, Asama Yasuji, he's probably the first culprit to let her experience the taste of those illegal drugs!"
