The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Officer Takagi was knocked unconscious by the suspect and lay to the side, while Officer Sato had been bound by the vicious suspect, his clothes disheveled, and the suspect was closing in on the defenseless Officer Sato...

Officer Shiratori's expression immediately turned grim, and he involuntarily slammed his foot down on the accelerator. "That's terrible!"

"Damn it!" Inspector Megure's eyes turned fierce. "They're my most prized subordinates!"

The next moment, Inspector Megure picked up the walkie-talkie from the police car.

Not only Beika and Beika-cho, but the entire Tokyo police force was shaken by this.

"What's wrong with Officer Sato?"

"What! A suspect has subdued Officer Sato!?"

"You mean Miwako has been imprisoned by the suspect!"

"You're saying Officer Sato might have been sexually assaulted by the suspect?!"

"..."

"???"

For a time, because of Officer Sato, the beloved member of the Boundary Group, almost all the police, patrol officers, public security officers, and even riot police in Tokyo were mobilized.

Countless police officers sped out of the police station on bicycles, police motorcycles, and police cars.

Dozens of police helicopters took off at the same time and flew towards Beika Town.

There was even an armored vehicle roaring towards us from the direction of the Self-Defense Forces.

……

"Big, big brother!"

Just then, in a Porsche parked in the parking lot of the Beika Hotel.

Vodka, holding his phone, looked nervously at Gin in the passenger seat. "Big brother, something bad has happened!"

Gin, who had been resting with his eyes closed and a cigarette in his mouth, suddenly opened his eyes, his fierce gaze fixed on Vodka. "What's with the panic? Tell me, what happened?"

Startled by Gin's gaze, Vodka swallowed hard before continuing, "Big brother, the entire Tokyo police force has suddenly mobilized and is converging on us!"

"!!!"

Gin was clearly taken aback upon hearing this, and his expression turned serious.

Although he had always thought that the Japanese police were just a bunch of rabble, if there were too many of them, it would be quite a headache.

Gin casually stubbed out his cigarette, coldly looking at Vodka and asking, "Do you know why?"

“I don’t know…” Vodka shook his head nervously, explaining with a somewhat frustrated expression, “Even the ghost we planted in the police station can’t be contacted for some reason! Boss, I think this police operation is very likely aimed at us!”

Gin's heart skipped a beat at that moment.

Even the guys the organization planted in the police station can't be contacted?

Was he taken into custody by the police?

Or is there some other reason?

(A mole within the organization who had run to the Self-Defense Forces and brought out an armored vehicle, irritably tossed his incessantly ringing phone behind him. "Damn kidnappers! For my Miwako, I will tear you to pieces!")

Could it be that some rats in the organization leaked their operation to the Japanese police?

As he thought of this, a murderous glint gradually appeared in Gin's eyes.

"Notify the other party that this transaction is cancelled!"

Gin quickly made up his mind.

Regardless of whether the Tokyo police mobilized their entire force because of him.

For safety reasons, Gin decided to cancel this transaction.

"yes, Sir!"

Now that Gin had made his decision, Vodka simply needed to nod in agreement and carry out the order without worry.

Click~

While the vodka was starting the car, Gin lit another cigarette.

He had already consumed a pack and a half of cigarettes while waiting for his trading partner in the car.

Gin silently commented on Tokyo's exorbitant tobacco taxes—

He has to pay most of it.

……

Meanwhile, the culprit, Sato Miwako, who was completely unaware of all this, couldn't help but sneeze when the apartment manager opened the door to Ms. Muranishi's room and she stepped into it.

She couldn't help but rub her nose, looking around the room in surprise. "Could it be because the room is too cold?"

However, the air conditioner was clearly not turned on.

Or……

The ghost of Miss Muranishi, who was strangled in the bathroom...

Thinking of this, Sato Miwako couldn't help but shudder and unconsciously leaned closer to Aragaki Yu.

The snow woman, who had just escaped from the Yin-Yang Realm and perched on Aragaki Yu's head, was quite pleased to notice Sato Miwako's approaching behavior after she came out.

"Hehe, it seems there are quite a few people who like me in this world!" The snow woman suddenly chuckled to herself, overjoyed.

She chuckled as she climbed off Aragaki Yu's head, floated toward Officer Sato, and landed precisely on her head.

He even reached out and patted Officer Sato's head with delight.

At that moment, she completely forgot that ordinary people couldn't see her at all.

Officer Sato, who was completely unaware of the Snow Woman's actions, inexplicably felt a chill on the top of his head, as if a cold wind had blown by.

but……

The problem is that it's summer now, and all the windows in the room are tightly closed.

"Hehehe, it really is Miss Muranishi's spirit at work!" Sato Miwako's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Aragaki Yu's arm tightly.

Chapter 331 Conan's Overconfidence

"So, did you notice anything amiss, Conan?" Sato Miwako asked curiously, watching Conan running in and out of the room ever since he entered.

"Hmm." Under Miwako Sato's expectant gaze, Conan nodded. "There are four suspicious points in total."

"Huh!?" Sato Miwako opened her mouth wide in surprise. She didn't expect that her casual question would lead Conan to discover so many suspicious things.

Conan glanced at the fuming Sato, pointed to the bed against the wall and said, "The first thing is the color of the quilt, sheets, pillow, and the curtains next to it."

Sato Miwako looked over in surprise. The color of these things was just a very ordinary and common gray, and there was nothing strange about them.

Seemingly noticing Officer Sato's confusion, Conan continued to explain, "Since all the kitchen utensils, plates, and other interior items over there are based on beige, why is gray the only color used here? Isn't that strange?"

"Hehehe~" Officer Sato chuckled as he explained, "This might just be a coincidence. There are indeed many people who would do that, like me..."

"No, I don't think so!" Just as Sato Miwako was trying to use examples to convince Conan, Haibara Ai, who had just disappeared somewhere, suddenly spoke up.

“We asked the proprietress of the izakaya who was familiar with Ms. Muranishi, and according to her, Ms. Muranishi’s favorite color is beige.”

As Ai Haibara spoke, she walked to the cabinet, opened the door, and pointed to the items inside, continuing, "And the most crucial thing is that there are beige curtains and bed sheets in this cabinet."

"This..." Officer Sato was about to say something.

However, Conan didn't give her that guy a chance. After Haibara Ai finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Higashida, who was staring blankly at Ms. Muranishi's room, and said, "So I think, Mr. Higashida, the curtains and bedding in your room are gray, right?"

“No…that’s right, because my favorite color is gray.” Mr. Higashida nodded.

Before Officer Sato could react, Conan pointed out the second suspicious point.

"The second suspicious thing is that the calendar next to the bed was removed for some reason."

"Huh?" Officer Sato looked blankly at the calendar that Conan had found out from somewhere.

"Look, this calendar released this year by the Tokyo Souls, which is stored in the cabinet, and this mark on the wall from something hanging there for a long time are completely the same, right?"

Miwako Sato nodded subconsciously, but she quickly came to her senses and explained, "I think it's also possible that Ms. Muranishi removed it because the team is performing poorly right now!"

"Do not."

Conan shook his head, rejecting Officer Sato's explanation.

"Because of Officer Sato, look here." Conan flipped through the calendar and showed it to Officer Sato, explaining, "This calendar clearly shows all sorts of plans and arrangements written down up to December."

"No, that's right!" Officer Sato took the calendar from Conan, glanced at it casually, and found that what Conan said was indeed correct.

This calendar is filled with a bunch of important plans and arrangements; it doesn't look like it's going to be put away at all.

"As for the third point..."

"Cough cough..."

While Inspector Sato was studying the calendar, Conan, with his hands in his pockets, was about to continue explaining the next point of doubt when he suddenly heard a soft cough from Ai Haibara beside him.

"You..." Conan was about to turn around and question Ai Haibara about what was going on because his train of thought had been interrupted.

But then he noticed that Ai Haibara was giving him a reproachful look.
