Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Aragaki Yu continued calmly, "So, you obtained that novel by accident, and because you thought your situation was too similar to that of the protagonist described in the novel, you used the methods described in the novel to plan this case, right?"

"Who, who are you?! How do you know all this?!" Kagawa Rize looked at the boy in front of him who had told him almost everything about his life, and he was also extremely surprised.

"Who am I?" Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu smiled and looked up at Kazue Toshiaki, who was almost collapsing to the ground, with a meaningful gaze.

Chapter 280 Escape

"Suke Aragaki is an Onmyoji. If you have any business needs in the future, you can come to me anytime."

"???"

Amidst the bewildered stares of everyone present, Aragaki Yu casually pulled out his postcard from his pocket.

"Hmm... Ah!? Onmyoji?" Kazuki Toshiyuki took the postcard that Aragaki Yu handed him, somewhat bewildered.

【Yinyang House of the Aragaki Family in Yoneka Town】

These words were prominently displayed on the postcard.

It seems that the boy wasn't talking nonsense.

and many more……

So he wasn't a detective after all?

Before everyone could react, Aragaki Yuu suddenly brought up the topic of Kudo Yusaku.

“Instead of worrying about who I am, I think you should know who this gentleman is.” Aragaki Yu smiled and looked at Kudo Yusaku.

"what?"

Still somewhat bewildered, Kazuki Toshiyuki didn't have a chance to think further before he followed Aragaki Yu's gaze and looked at Kudo Yusaku beside him.

Yusaku Kudo showed no displeasure at Aragaki Yuu's attempt to steer the conversation back to him.

He introduced himself to the bewildered Kazue Toshiaki quite frankly: "Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Kudo Yusaku, the author of that worthless novel."

"!!!"

"How could this be...!?" Kagetsu Rize's mind was like a stampede of ten thousand mythical beasts.

“Mr. Jia Yue, if you were ever truly moved by my novel, I hope you will turn yourself in to the police.”

Kudo Yusaku slowly walked up to Kazuki Toshiyuki, looked at him and said, "Because I originally intended for the murderer in that story to voluntarily surrender to the police for his mistakes in the end."

"..."

Kagoshi Toshiyuki stared at his idol, Kudo Yusaku, in front of him and remained silent for a long time.

No one knows what complex emotional journey he went through, but in the end, he still bowed his head to Kudo Yusaku: "Okay, I understand."

……

After being taken away by the police in Gaylitz.

Because Yuu Aragaki was standing nearby, Conan didn't go up to talk to his father, Yusaku Kudo, but just silently exchanged a glance with him.

No words were needed; in just that brief moment of eye contact, the father and son seemed to have already communicated a great deal.

……

"Hey Yusaku, I never thought so many people would figure out your methods!" Yukiko Kudo suddenly laughed and patted Yusaku Kudo on the shoulder, squinting her eyes and teasing, "You, the world's number one mystery novelist, need to take down your label."

"Hahaha~"

Unexpectedly, Yusaku Kudo smiled and scratched his head, saying, "Sorry, sorry..."

"Actually, that was just a decoy, a trap to deceive the readers, because the manuscript wasn't finished yet. I think he must have misunderstood me. I originally intended to design a crime method that would allow the murderer to completely remove the disguise."

Looking at Kudo Yusaku explaining with such conviction, Aragaki Yu believed that he wasn't just putting on a brave face because his methods had been seen through.

On the contrary, his son Conan had a "who would believe you?" look on his face.

(Yuki-onna: ???)

"But today was truly amazing!" Yukiko Kudo suddenly looked at her husband, Yusaku Kudo, with excitement and said to him with great joy, "I never expected that you would save your wife at the critical moment!"

Yukiko Kudo acted like a little girl, fully expressing her admiration for Yusaku Kudo.

Just as Aragaki Yu was hesitating about whether to take Conan away to create some space for the couple to be alone.

Yusaku Kudo stared blankly at Yukiko Kudo and replied, "A close call?"

His voice sounded so surprised, clearly not expecting Yukiko Kudo to say that.

"But I've been hiding behind you, waiting for orders, for the past two minutes!"

"what?"

Yukiko Kudo, who had been acting like a fangirl, blinked in bewilderment. She looked at Yusaku Kudo in disbelief and asked, "You mean you just stood by and watched until that bastard pushed me off the platform?"

Yusaku Kudo clearly hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, and nodded quite frankly: "Yes."

"!!!"

"..."

Good grief, Aragaki Yu, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, was now completely speechless.

At this moment, he finally understood from whom Shinichi Kudo inherited his worryingly low emotional intelligence.

Ah, no wonder they're father and son.

Sure enough, Yukiko Kudo's face darkened, and she quickly erupted: "Yusaku! You're not even as good as Aragaki, I thought..."

Seeing that the fire between Yukiko Kudo and Yusaku Kudo was about to spread to him, Yuu Aragaki felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew very well that even if he had no problems, he would not have a good ending if he got involved in this kind of thing.

It just so happens that at this time.

He noticed Miyano Akemi walking towards him from not far away, and Aragaki Yu immediately waved his arm at her. Before she could respond, Aragaki Yu shouted loudly to Miyano Akemi, "Ah! Ms. Miyano, you must have been waiting anxiously, I'm coming right now!"

Miyano Akemi, standing some distance away, stared blankly at Aragaki Yuu as he stopped in his tracks: "???"

Then, without waiting for Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko to react, Aragaki Yuya said goodbye to them, "Mr. Kudo, and Yukiko... Sister, it was nice to meet you. I have something to attend to, so let's talk again another time!"

Then, before the two of them could stop him, Aragaki Yu hurriedly ran towards Miyano Akemi's direction.

Suddenly, the Kudo family froze on the spot.

"!!!"

Conan, who was standing nearby, wasn't stupid either, and immediately realized what was going on with Aragaki Yu.

hateful!

This guy actually ran off without even warning me!

"Oh, right, Sister Ran and Uncle Mori are still waiting for me outside, I want to... um..."

Unfortunately, before Conan could even say anything about making a run for it, he was suddenly picked up by Yukiko Kudo, who had a gloomy smile on her face.

"Hehe, Conan, let me take you to Ran-neechan's side. We should have a good chat on the way about what you said about protecting me!"

"It's...it's all over!"

Conan, who was suddenly picked up, looked utterly dejected after realizing he couldn't escape.

Chapter 281 I sent you to solve the problem.

"I sent you to solve the problem, not to deal with the person who caused it!"

Inside the organization's safe house, Gin extinguished his cigarette and spoke to the person on the other end of the phone.

His voice was low and cold, as if he wasn't in a good mood.

Gin's expression faltered slightly as he listened to what the person on the other end of the phone said.

He silently lit another cigarette, the flickering light standing out clearly in the dimly lit safe house.

I don't know how long they remained silent.

Gin frowned slightly, but still felt it necessary to remind the guy on the other end of the phone.

"We must keep a low profile."

"You can't be too flashy. If you attract the attention of the police, it will be very troublesome."

"..."

"Alright, there's no need to explain anymore. I'll treat this as an accident. But remember this, you must be careful next time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gin didn't give the other party any further chance to explain and decisively hung up the phone.

"Big...Big brother, what happened?"

Vodka, observing the uncertain expression on Gin's face, thought for a moment and decided to ask what had happened.

If you made Gin angry for some reason, you can kneel down and apologize as soon as possible.

So that one day my older brother might suddenly pull out a gun and point it at me.

"Whoo~"
