The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"..."

Mr. Kitagawa suddenly fell silent. His face was ashen and listless, and he had completely given up on the idea of ​​explaining anything.

Mr. Higashida, whose handcuffs had been removed by Officer Sato, finally covered his face and squatted down to the side, bursting into tears of joy.

Officer Sato then walked up to Mr. Kitagawa and handcuffed him with the handcuffs he had just taken from Mr. Higashida. "Mr. Kitagawa, I am now arresting you on suspicion of intentional homicide!"

……

At that moment, Yuu Aragaki's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, this is Aragaki..."

"Brother Aragaki!"

Before Aragaki Yu could finish speaking, Inspector Megure's impatient voice came through the phone, "Officer Sato and Officer Takagi, are they with you?!"

"Forehead……"

Yuu Aragaki glanced at Officer Sato, who was leading Mr. Kitagawa out of the door, and Officer Takagi, who had somehow arrived breathlessly, and replied with a strange expression, "They're here!"

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone...

Yuu Aragaki said he seemed to be able to understand Inspector Megure and the others' feelings.

After an unknown amount of time, Inspector Megure's voice, which was trying hard to control his emotions, came through the phone again, "Brother Aragaki, could you please let Takagi or Sato listen to the phone?"

"..."

Yuu Aragaki looked up at Officer Sato, who was escorting the prisoner, and Officer Takagi, who had just run over, panting but seemingly doing nothing.

After hesitating for a moment, he handed the phone to Takagi, who was still unaware of what had happened.

"Ok?"

Takagi looked at the phone that Aragaki Yu suddenly handed her with surprise. Although she didn't know what was going on, she instinctively took the phone and said into the phone, "Hello, this is Takagi..."

"Takagi, you idiot! Fool! Where did you all go? Tell me, where are you right now!"

Upon hearing Takagi's voice, Inspector Megure finally could no longer contain his anger.

Officer Takagi, whose voice was deafened by Megure's shout, was completely dumbfounded.

"Oops!"

Under Inspector Megure's repeated urging and scolding over the phone, Takagi finally revealed his current address.

Ten minutes later, almost the entire Tokyo police force arrived near Mr. Kitagawa's house, completely surrounding the streets.

……

"Big brother, something terrible has happened! There are cops everywhere outside!"

Inside a safe house, Vodka rushed into a room and found Gin, who was pretending to sleep.

The moment Vodka turned the doorknob, Gin tensed up completely.

The moment Vodka opened the door and stepped into the room, Gin had already pointed the gun firmly at him.

Vodka was visibly startled when he noticed Gin pointing his gun at him.

However, he was clearly used to this kind of situation, so he didn't show too much surprise. But when he saw Gin put away his pistol, he rushed to his side in a panic and said, "Big brother, a lot of cops have suddenly appeared on the street outside and surrounded us!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing Vodka's words, Gin's eyes narrowed, and a thick killing intent suddenly emanated from his body.

Damn it, this isn't the first time!

……

At the scene, before a police car had even come to a complete stop, Inspector Megure hurriedly jumped out of the vehicle, shouting, "Takagi, and Sato, what's going on? Why haven't you contacted us for so long!"

"This...that..."

The two people, who were initially excited because they thought they had solved the case and cleared Mr. Higashida's name, suddenly froze on their faces with smiles.

"..."

After listening to Officer Sato and Takagi's stammering account, Inspector Megure finally understood the whole story.

Although I emotionally understand and support their actions.

But Inspector Megure, still enraged, chased after Inspector Takagi and began to beat him mercilessly: "You actually disappeared like this for something like this! Do you know how worried we were about you! Do you know how many people were looking for you!"

"Stop...stop chasing me, Inspector Megure! I was wrong, I was really wrong, it was all Inspector Sato's idea!" Inspector Takagi pleaded as he dodged Inspector Megure's iron fists.

"How dare you say that! You actually want to shift the blame onto Sato!"

Upon hearing Takagi's words, Inspector Megure pounded his fist even harder.

"I mean... Kudo..." Looking at the scene before her, Ai Haibara couldn't help but quietly tug at Conan's sleeve, "So Inspector Megure is this fierce? Was he always like this...?"

"I... I don't think so..." Conan's lips twitched.

"..."

It would have been better to run into the crowd and avoid Inspector Megure. Takagi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He squatted on the ground, panting, and after catching his breath, he looked up to find a group of people who were much higher in rank than him surrounding him with unfriendly expressions.

"..."

Officer Takagi finally realized why Inspector Megure hadn't followed them in.

It turns out I had just escaped the tiger's den only to run into the wolf's lair!

"Hey Takagi, I heard you've been with Officer Sato since yesterday, huh? Hahaha... Not bad, really not bad!"

Officer Takagi recognized the guy who was patting him on the shoulder with a cold smile as the captain of the traffic division.

"Takagi, how could you not contact me when there's such a serious incident!"

This time it was a police inspector from the Criminal Investigation and General Affairs Division.

"Takagi, don't you know how dangerous it was last night? Why didn't you notify us!" The Fourth Investigation Division, which specializes in investigating cases involving violent groups and organized crime, also got involved at this point.

Surrounded by a group of powerful figures, Officer Takagi helplessly crouched on the ground, clutching his head, on the verge of tears.

"Oh my god, someone help me! I... I really was just following Officer Sato's orders!"

Chapter 336 The Sisters Meet (1)

Finally, Officer Sato couldn't bear to watch the scene any longer and, with a mix of amusement and exasperation, pulled Officer Takagi, who was crouching on the ground with her head in her hands, out of the crowd.

"call……"

Watching the police forces from various departments retreat one by one, Officer Takagi, who had survived the ordeal, finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked gratefully at Sato, who had saved him from dire straits.

"Thank you so much!" After a brief questioning by Inspector Megure, Mr. Higashida, whose name had been cleared, was finally freed.

Inspector Megure, concerned about the trouble caused to Mr. Higashida by the police's mistake, sincerely apologized to him and promised to arrange for a police car to personally take Mr. Higashida to the airport.

The event finally came to a perfect end at this moment.

Seeing Mr. Higashida shaking his hand excitedly, Officer Takagi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I didn't do anything, did I? If you really want to thank someone, you should thank Aragaki Yu and Conan, eh..."

"By the way, where are Yuu Aragaki and Conan?" Officer Takagi looked around and found that Yuu Aragaki, Conan, and Ai Haibara, who had just been there, were nowhere to be seen.

“They!” Sato Miwako patted Takagi on the shoulder and said, “When Inspector Megure was chasing you, they said they couldn’t bear to see you suffer a miserable end, so they quietly slipped away.”

Officer Takagi: "..."

……

on the way home.

Seeing Conan's excited expression after solving the case, Yuu Aragaki, who was following behind him, suddenly spoke up.

"Hey Conan, you didn't go home last night. Did you tell Ran and Mr. Mori?"

"!!!"

Conan's smile suddenly froze at that moment.

His hand trembled as he pulled his phone from his pocket, revealing dozens of missed calls...

Yuu Aragaki noticed that Conan's expression changed like a face, from confusion to astonishment, then from astonishment to tension, and finally to fear.

"No, no! Aragaki-nii, and Haibara-san, I have to go back right now!"

He spoke quickly, but his voice trembled.

Conan, who didn't have time to leisurely walk back, didn't wait for Aragaki Yu and Haibara Ai's reply and ran towards the Mouri Detective Agency.

"..."

Ai Haibara was somewhat surprised that Kudo would react this way, and for a moment she couldn't help but smile slightly.

But when she noticed the way Aragaki Yu was staring straight at her, her smile immediately vanished, and she returned to her expressionless face.

Ugh, what an annoying guy!
