The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Finally, Aragaki Yu's words hit Conan's sore spot. At that moment, he immediately forgot about Aragaki Yu's spying on Ran and wished he could turn back into Shinichi Kudo right now.

Conan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, silently vowing in his heart: "Damn the Black Organization, I, Shinichi Kudo, will remember this grudge!"

Just then, Yuu Aragaki noticed another man walking towards Ran, and he quipped softly, "See? Someone's trying to pick her up again... Hmm? Wait, is the target that young lady this time?"

"Wh...what?!" Conan, who was standing to the side, looked in surprise at Ran and Sonoko after hearing what Aragaki Yu said. His expression changed from anger to utter shock.

When he noticed that the man in the yellow jacket had actually walked up to Sonoko and started talking to her, his eyes widened, and he stammered, "No, no way! How... how is this possible!"

Conan's expression suddenly turned serious, as if he had encountered a difficult case. He kept muttering to himself, "Impossible, no one could be interested in Sonoko. There must be something wrong with this. There must be something wrong with the surface of this matter!"

Aragaki Yu: "..."

When Aragaki Yu turned around, he saw Aragaki Yu, who had already sat up from the beach chair, staring at him in disbelief. He couldn't help but ask, "Big brother Aragaki, you think so too, right?"

Hearing Conan's reckless remark, Aragaki Yu was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, how could that be! Hahaha..."

Aragaki Yu's laughter sounded slightly awkward.

Good guy...

Are you really not afraid of getting killed by Makoto Kyogoku?

If you want to die, don't drag me down with you.

Before Conan could say anything more, Sonoko and Ran led the man toward them.

“Aragaki, Conan, this is Mr. Dokyo Masahiko… this…” Sonoko Suzuki blushed slightly and suddenly became hesitant, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"It's like this, Mr. Daoxie wants to invite Sonoko to lunch together." Ran looked at her best friend who had suddenly become shy beside her and explained with a smile, "But Sonoko felt it wasn't right for us to wait here, so she wanted to invite us along."

Daoxie Masahiko was obviously already aware of this matter, so when he heard these words, he did not show any surprise or displeasure. Instead, he smiled and nodded to Aragaki Yu.

Aragaki Yuu also nodded slightly in response.

Conan, on the other hand, stared warily at Dokyo Masahiko, who had suddenly joined them, clearly still wondering about his motives for approaching Sonoko.

However, when he thought that it was better for this man to get close to Sonoko than to get close to his own Ran, he quickly felt relieved.

Soon, the group arrived at a small shop on the beach.

The group sat together, and Daoxie Zhengyan introduced himself while chatting with everyone.

Sonoko looked at him with some surprise and said, "So, Mr. Dokyo, you're a student at Beika University!"

Then she looked at Xiaolan beside her with surprise and said, "So, you're Xiaolan's dad's junior from school!"

Conan ate the snacks offered by the shop while looking at Sonoko, who only talked about mundane family matters and didn't even have the courage to eat alone with him, with a somewhat speechless expression. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This rich girl who keeps saying she wants to find a man is just a woman with lustful thoughts but no guts..."

"By the way, Mr. Daoxie, what brings you to this beach?" Sonoko suddenly asked with some curiosity.

"Oh, this!" Daoxie Zhengyan said with a cigarette dangling from his lips and a somewhat forlorn expression, "I just came out to clear my head after a breakup."

Chapter 308 Makoto Kyogoku

"Ah!?" Sonoko's face suddenly showed a sympathetic expression.

Seeing this, Masahiko Dokyo continued, "My girlfriend cruelly dumped me, and just as I was feeling down and staring blankly at the sea, I saw a very beautiful angel."

As he spoke, he looked tenderly into Sonoko's eyes: "If my intuition is correct, I think you are the goddess who can save me."

Seeing this, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but marvel inwardly, "I never thought that Sonoko, the queen of empty talk, would go out to hook up with men, only to run into a real playboy instead."

"Ah!" As expected, Sonoko completely crumbled upon hearing Dokyo Masahiko's words. She couldn't help but cover her flushed cheeks and said shyly, "How could I possibly bear such words..."

Unlike Ran's eyes, which were sparkling with excitement, Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes as well.

He immediately saw through Mr. Dokyo Masahiko's philandering nature and couldn't help but become even more suspicious of how such a man could have fallen for Sonoko.

While he was filled with suspicion, he was also secretly relieved that the other party had not harmed Xiaolan.

However, from the perspective of a good friend.

Conan still wanted to remind Sonoko to be careful of this man who didn't seem very reliable.

Fortunately, Conan wasn't the only one who couldn't stand watching this scene.

boom!

Suddenly, a glass of beer was slammed down in front of Dokyo Masahiko, making such a commotion that it drew everyone's attention.

A tall, muscular man with glasses and a bronze complexion stood behind Daoxie Masahiko and said expressionlessly, "Your draft beer has arrived!"

"Okay...okay, thank you..." Daoxie Zhengyan was clearly startled by the sudden appearance of the man and thanked him with some lingering fear.

Appeared!

When the man appeared in everyone's sight, Aragaki Yu's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

The muscles in his body tensed up instantly.

From the oppressive aura he unconsciously exuded, Aragaki Yu immediately recognized the person's identity.

He is the pinnacle of martial prowess in the world of Detective Conan—

Kyogoku Makoto!

At the same time, Yoto Hime, who was originally gossiping with other shikigami about Sonoko and Dokyo Masahiko in the Yin-Yang Domain, was also there.

The moment he sensed Makoto Kyogoku's aura, he suddenly became chilling.

She unconsciously reached for her demon sword, a fighting spirit instantly igniting within her—

This man is very strong!

Upon seeing Kyogoku Makoto's appearance, Aragaki Yu was already certain of the identity of Dokyo Masahiko, who was currently standing beside him.

He is probably the serial killer who is currently wanted by the police and is preparing to target Sonoko.

However, Aragaki Yu did not make any announcement at this moment.

Although Dokyo Masahiko is a serial killer.

But the police haven't investigated thoroughly yet, and he doesn't have any evidence. Let's leave it to Makoto Kyogoku to be the hero and save the day.

After all, it was through this hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scene that Kyogoku Masashi and Sonoko began to establish a relationship.

Yuya Aragaki didn't want to ruin all of this.

You should know that Makoto Kyogoku and Sonoko were one of the few couples he genuinely shipped in his past life.

After putting down his beer glass, Makoto Kyogoku didn't linger. However, before leaving, he turned back and said to Masahiko Dokyo with a stern face, "Sir, please don't leave cigarette ash on the floor, it'll be a hassle to clean up later."

"Hmm... Oh!" Daoxie Zhengyan responded and immediately stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

Only after confirming that Makoto Kyogoku had walked far away did he turn around to look at Kyogoku's departing figure and complain, "That shop assistant's attitude is really bad."

Sonoko was also very unhappy as she watched Kyogoku Makoto's retreating figure, clearly annoyed that he had ruined the atmosphere between her and Mr. Dokyo.

At this moment, Xiaolan, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up with some doubt: "Hey, don't you guys feel like you've seen that shop assistant somewhere before?"

"Of course!" Sonoko was still a little angry, so she rolled her eyes and explained to Ran, "He's the owner of the hotel we're staying at! I heard he came back to help out because it's summer vacation."

"How do you even know about this kind of thing?" Xiaolan's expression turned to surprise.

Hearing Ran mention this, Sonoko became even angrier: "Yesterday when we got to the door, he kept staring at us, so I went to ask the hotel staff."

Ran seemed a little confused about Makoto Kyogoku's presence at the shop: "But he's the owner of the inn, why would he be helping out at this shop?"

Sonoko muttered to herself, "Hmph, I think it must be owned by the same person as the Wawu Inn where we stayed!"

"Oh? So you're staying at the Wataya Inn?" When Daoxie Zhengyan heard about the Wataya Inn, a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Sonoko nodded: "Yes, that's right."

"Oh, I see. Well, that's near my hotel!" Daoxie Masahiko suddenly suggested. "How about we go to that nice restaurant by the sea for dinner tonight? I'll drive over and pick you up!"

"Ah! It's true!" Sonoko was clearly very interested in Dokyo Masahiko's suggestion.

“Of course it’s true.” Daoxie Masahiko nodded with a smile. “But don’t forget to bring your camera!”

camera!

When he heard what Dokyo Masahiko specifically mention, Aragaki Yu glanced at him thoughtfully.

He immediately realized that Sonoko's camera had probably captured something that Dokyo Masahiko was very concerned about.

"Hmm? Why?" Ran and Sonoko both seemed a little puzzled by Dokyo Masahiko's suggestion.

Daoxie Masahiko said in a low voice, "Because just now, I asked some locals here, and they said that something happened at the beach near that restaurant!"

"Something happened?" Sonoko and Ran's expressions immediately became tense.

Even Conan, who was standing nearby, suddenly became interested.

"Yes." Daoxie Masahiko nodded solemnly and continued to explain, "Exactly one year ago today, a woman with long brown hair was stabbed in the abdomen and murdered there."

"A murder case!" Sonoko and Ran were both startled when they heard this and couldn't help but exclaim.

Conan unconsciously narrowed his eyes, and his expression became serious.

"Yes, I heard that the young lady had an accident on her way to that restaurant, but because of a lack of eyewitnesses, the case is still under investigation."
