The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Mm." Sonoko nodded silently.

As for Ran, who was already terrified of the ghosts that might appear in that restaurant, she had no objection to the suggestion. She even reminded Sonoko, "And that camera, I think we shouldn't take it either!"

"Of course you can't bring them!" Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Dokyo Masahiko waved to Sonoko happily. "I'll pick you up at seven o'clock tonight. Just wait for me at the hotel entrance."

Sonoko excitedly replied, "Then it's decided!"

Just as Daoxie Masahiko was saying goodbye, he suddenly noticed that a fat, strange man had also left.

"I think I've seen this person before at the little shop by the sea!" Conan said with some suspicion upon seeing this scene.

"Sonoko, Aragaki, let's go back to the hotel too. And Conan, let's not disturb the police while they're investigating here!" Ran said to the group.

"Mm." Sonoko nodded.

Just as the group turned to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Hey, isn't this Ran and Sonoko? Oh, you've come to Izu too!"

Several people looked back.

A police officer squeezed through the crowd and excitedly ran towards the group.

"Officer Yokomizo!" Xiaolan looked somewhat surprised to see the officer running towards her. "It's been a long time. We're here to enjoy the sea."

"So, Mr. Kogoro Mouri is here too?" Inspector Yokomizo looked around with surprise, searching for any trace of Kogoro Mouri.

"No," Xiaolan explained with a smile and a shake of her head. "This time, only the four of us came."

"Four people?" Officer Yokomizo was surprised for a moment, then looked at the people next to Ran and Sonoko.

"Hey, Conan!" Inspector Yokomizo was the first to spot Conan standing at Ran's feet.

"Hello, Uncle!" Conan greeted politely.

"So Conan is the knight of these two ladies today. You must protect them well, you know?" Inspector Yokomizo squatted down, smiled, and patted Conan's head teasingly.

"Yes!" Conan nodded.

"However, there is another one...?" At this moment, Officer Yokomizo suddenly remembered that there was another person who came with Ran and the others, so he stood up again and looked at the boy who had been following Ran and the others with a puzzled expression.

At first, he thought this handsome young man was the person Ran and Sonoko had met here.

"This is our classmate, Yuu Aragaki." Ran, realizing that Yuu Aragaki and Inspector Yokomizo had never met before, quickly introduced them to each other. "And this is Inspector Yokomizo from Izu."

"Hello, Officer Yokomizo." After Ran introduced him, Aragaki Yuu smiled and nodded at Officer Yokomizo.

"Yu Aragaki?" However, when Officer Yokomizo heard Yu Aragaki's name, his face suddenly showed a look of confusion.

He felt like he had heard the name somewhere before.

And names that feel familiar to you.

If he's not one of my colleagues in the police force, then he must be a wanted criminal on the police's list!

Upon thinking of this, Officer Yokomizo suddenly tensed up.

Just as he was about to rush up and subdue Aragaki Yu, he suddenly remembered that this boy named Aragaki Yu should live in Beika Town, just like Ran.

Beika Town...

Inspector Megure...

Oh, it was him!

For some unknown reason, Officer Yokomizo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly patted his thigh as he looked at Aragaki Yu.

Chapter 311 The Police Who Get Tired of the Old and Embrace the New

"Oh, it's you!" Inspector Yokomizo suddenly patted Aragaki Yu on the shoulder and said excitedly, "I've been hearing Inspector Megure mention you, the high school detective, quite often lately. You're a famous detective in the Japanese police force now, just like Mr. Mori!"

"what……!?"

Aragaki Yu was slightly taken aback.

Seriously? How did I become famous?

The key point is that he also became famous within the police force.

In this situation, Aragaki Yu wouldn't be surprised if Gin pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head the next time they met.

After all, you've helped the police so much, and you still say you're not one of them?

Tsk~

"You're too kind, Officer Yokomizo. I can't compare to Mr. Mori!" Aragaki Yu replied politely, but inwardly he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

It's not because he's afraid of Gin!

But he was worried that if Gin thought he was an undercover agent sent by the police, he would stop paying him his salary and allowances.

That would be a huge loss!

Meanwhile, Conan, standing to the side, was also experiencing a similar feeling of utter frustration.

Hearing Officer Yokomizo praise Aragaki Yu and Mouri Kogoro like that, he felt somewhat displeased.

But it wasn't because of jealousy.

It's not because he's only been gone for a short time, but his legend has vanished from the police force!

Pshaw, these policemen are indeed fickle and easily bored.

and also……

"The Black Organization, for shrinking me, I, Shinichi Kudo, will remember this grudge once again!"

After a few more brief pleasantries, everyone exchanged a few more words.

After Officer Yokomizo reminded them to be careful, Aragaki Yu, Ran, and the others returned to the Wataya Inn.

……

The sky gradually darkened.

"It's starting to rain. I really hope Mr. Daoxie can come over soon!" Under the eaves of the Wataya Inn, looking at the rain that had suddenly intensified outside, Sonoko couldn't help but say.

"Don't be in such a hurry, okay? The male lead always appears later!" Ran couldn't help but tease Sonoko when she saw her anxious expression.

"Don't tease me like that, it makes me feel embarrassed too!" Sonoko complained, blushing.

Conan, watching Sonoko's lustful thoughts without the courage to act on them, rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Mr. Meimei Daoxie mainly invited Sonoko, and Sonoko came to Izu with the idea of ​​seducing men.

Even with the opportunity right in front of her, Sonoko still insisted on dragging Ran along with her.

He suddenly felt a pang of envy for Aragaki Yu, who remained at the hotel.

When Sonoko invited him to go out together, Aragaki Yu declined, saying that it was inappropriate for a man like him to disturb someone else's dinner date.

However, Conan could tell that Yuu Aragaki simply didn't want to go out in the rain and preferred to stay in the hotel, which was why he refused!

Damn it, Conan, who was forcibly dragged along by Ran, couldn't help but show a look of envy in his eyes.

……

Just as Conan was lost in thought, the hotel door behind the three of them was suddenly pulled open.

Startled by the sound of the door being pulled open, the three hurriedly turned around and saw the inn's young owner, Makoto Kyogoku, place an umbrella at Sonoko's feet before silently closing the door.

"Ok?"

Ran looked at the umbrella at Sonoko's feet, slightly puzzled by Kyogoku Makoto's actions. "What's that umbrella for?"

"Does it mean it's for us to use?" Sonoko's face also looked somewhat blank.

"Maybe it's that older brother who's also interested in Sonoko-neechan!" However, Conan, who should have zero emotional intelligence, seemed to see through everything.

It's unclear whether they were joking or teasing Sonoko.

"Huh!?" Startled by Conan's words, Sonoko was caught off guard and blushed instantly.

"See, Sonoko, you're quite popular too!" Ran couldn't help but laugh as she continued Conan's words.

"Stop talking about it, that guy is so gloomy!" Sonoko muttered under her breath, clearly not having a good impression of Kyogoku Makoto.

"That's right, after all, the garden already has Mr. Daoxie!"

Sonoko, whose secret had been exposed by Ran, couldn't help but scratch her cheek and complained embarrassedly, "Ran, you're so annoying! You're so embarrassing!"

"Oh no! I accidentally left my wallet in my room." Sonoko touched her pocket, only to realize her wallet wasn't with her. "Wait a minute, I'll be right back!"

After saying something to Ran in a hurry, Sonoko turned around and ran into the hotel, heading towards her room.

Looking at the messy garden, Xiaolan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

But then he immediately rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Ran-neechan, what's wrong?" Conan asked curiously, looking at Ran who seemed puzzled.

"No, nothing!"

Ran shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then told Conan the truth: "I feel like I've seen that bespectacled shop owner somewhere before."

"We stayed at his hotel, and we even met at the beach hut!" Conan said nonchalantly, realizing it was nothing more than that, clearly not taking it to heart.
