The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Chapter 363 Note on Solitary Life

The matter of Kaito Kid is left to the police, and at Sonoko Suzuki's invitation, everyone decides to go to Osaka Castle together.

Because of the presence of two locals, Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori, the group followed Kazuha's suggestion and went to Naniwa Hotei Shrine.

Conan and Heiji Hattori originally did not want to come along.

After all, they would rather work with the police to deal with the phantom thief than go shopping with girls, but they were ruthlessly kicked out by Kogoro Mouri.

……

At the fortune-telling area of ​​the shrine.

Among the four women huddled together, Ran Mouri suddenly exclaimed, "Wow! I drew the best draw!"

"Where, where!?" Sonoko exclaimed in surprise, leaning closer to Ran and looking at the fortune slip in Ran's hand.

Akemi Miyano, who had been standing next to Ran, read out the fortune slip: "The one who waits will meet their lover!"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko and Kazuha immediately displayed ambiguous expressions on their faces.

Sonoko even joked directly to Ran, "This must be referring to Shinichi's situation!"

"Wow, that's great! Let me meet him this time too!" Kazuha exclaimed, clearly delighted.

In fact, she had always been very interested in Shinichi Kudo, whom Heiji Hattori kept mentioning.

Of course, it would be more accurate to say that I'm jealous rather than interested.

Conan, who had been standing idly by with Aragaki Yu and Hattori Heiji, waiting for them to finish, helplessly wiped the sweat from his brow and silently thought to himself, "Actually, I've been here the whole time..."

"It's still so early. How are we going to kill time before 3 a.m.? Anyway, let's go get something good to eat first!"

Heiji Hattori, with his hands in his pockets, was idly pacing around Conan and Yuu Aragaki when he suddenly noticed that Conan seemed to be deep in thought.

After a moment of surprise, he suddenly turned to Kazuha and said, "Kazuha, I'll trouble you to take these three out for a stroll!"

"Ah, where's Heiji?" Toyama Kazuha turned around and looked at Hattori Heiji with some surprise.

Because we had clearly agreed that I and Heiji would take the guests on a tour of Osaka Castle before 3 a.m.

"Me?" Hattori Heiji pointed at Conan and Aragaki Yuu and said, "Of course I'm in charge of taking care of the two of them!"

"Why?" Ran looked at Hattori Heiji with some confusion. "Why aren't you coming with us?"

“Because boys are naturally better off with boys,” Hattori Heiji suddenly squatted down and patted Conan on the shoulder, “Right, Conan… Conan?”

"Okay!" Conan nodded obediently to Ran before turning to Heiji Hattori and rolling his eyes, muttering under his breath, "Get this habit up soon!"

Seeing Conan's displeased expression, Heiji Hattori grinned mischievously and threatened him, "You're pretty fierce, aren't you? You'd better change your attitude quickly, or I'll expose your identity!"

"Please, please try your best to speak, Hei... Heiji-nii-san!" Conan's smile was very forced.

"Hmm, very good, very good. Remember to smile when you ask others for favors!" Seeing Conan's reluctant expression, Hattori Heiji suddenly felt very comfortable.

It's definitely more fun to bully kids!

"And what about you, Aragaki-nii-chan?"

At that moment, Akemi Miyano, who was standing nearby, suddenly asked a question.

Aragaki Yu hesitated for a moment.

Logically speaking, at this point, they should be acting with Heiji Hattori and Conan.

However, Hattori's outrageous statement about being destined to be single made him feel a little worried.

If you spend too much time with Heiji Hattori and Conan, you won't turn into a straight man yourself!

Moreover, he had originally planned to meet with Kaito Kuroba, and if he went with Conan and Hattori, it probably wouldn't be so easy for him to escape...

"I..." Just as Aragaki Yu was pondering how to politely decline Hattori Heiji's invitation to be single.

Akemi Miyano spoke up first, "Little brother Aragaki, why don't you come with us? It's dangerous for four girls to be out on their own, you know. What if we run into some scheming guy..."

Aragaki Yu: "..."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

Conan: "..."

Good heavens, what kind of talk is this?

If these four women were to encounter criminals, who knows who would be the one to worry about!

Ran Mouri, not to mention that her father is the sleeping "famous detective" Kogoro Mouri, is a karate master himself, the kind of person who would be difficult for even dozens of strong men to get close to.

Sonoko Suzuki is the daughter of the Suzuki Group, one of Japan's top conglomerates. Her boyfriend is Makoto Kyogoku, a Super Saiyan with unparalleled strength.

Kazuha Toyama is the only daughter of Superintendent Ginshiro Toyama, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and is also a master of Aikido.

In addition, there's Akemi Miyano, a member of the Black Organization.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Aragaki Yuu shook his head as he thought about all this.

What kind of person would be so foolish as to provoke such a powerful and wealthy combination?

"But you..." Hattori Heiji was about to try to explain himself and save his "compatriots".

But Yuanshan and Ye didn't give him that chance.

Kazuha glared fiercely at Hattori Heiji and said, "What's wrong, Hattori? You don't mean you want to help us carry our bags, do you? Hehehe..."

"I..." Hattori Heiji paused for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and then obediently shut his mouth and admitted defeat.

From the apologetic look in his eyes, Aragaki Yu also sensed the meaning of "better to die than to die."

"Then it's decided!" In the end, Akemi Miyano smiled and made the decision. "Then we'll have to trouble Hattori to take care of Conan. As for Aragaki, we'll have to trouble you to keep us company!"

Noticing the wink Miyano Akemi was giving him, and under the watchful eyes of Conan and Hattori, Aragaki Yu had no choice but to nod in agreement.

……

"Alright, let's part ways here!"

Unable to bear watching Aragaki Yu being "forcibly" taken away any longer, Hattori Heiji and Conan prepared to take a step forward.

"Okay, Heiji, you guys be careful too!" Kazuha smiled and waved to Hattori Heiji.

"See you tonight, Aragaki-nii!" Conan waved to Aragaki Yu before Hattori Heiji dragged him away.

"There's still over an hour left, good luck to you guys!" Yuu Aragaki kindly reminded them as he watched Heiji Hattori and Conan disappear into the street.

However, seeing that they didn't turn around, Aragaki Yu couldn't be sure whether they had heard what he said.

Chapter 364 A Hint from Aragaki Yu

"Were you thinking about the twelfth character just now?" Hattori Heiji asked Conan directly as they walked out of the shrine, finally free of other bystanders.

"That's right!"

Upon hearing Heiji Hattori mention this, Conan, who had been mourning the fact that Yuu Aragaki had been left behind, suddenly became serious. "I was thinking, it would be easier to understand if L were a Russian letter."

"Russian alphabet?" Heiji Hattori looked at Conan beside him in confusion.

“Yes, it’s the Russian word ‘ka,’ which is the English word ‘K,’” Conan explained.

“K?” Hattori Heiji thought for a moment. “But then you can’t tell it’s the shape of a pointer.”

"Also, the mention of the 'magician of the end of the century' at the end of the notice is also strange." Conan didn't directly answer Hattori's question, but instead raised another point of doubt.

"That's a despicable guy!" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but complain when he thought of the Phantom Thief Kid who had caused so much trouble.

Meanwhile, Conan raised a new question: "Because this is a signature he has never used before, and why would Kaito Kid, who always targets jewels, steal that egg this time?"

"Oh, right!" Hattori Heiji, who couldn't think of the answers to these questions for a moment, suddenly looked at Conan and asked, "What kind of fortune did you just draw?"

"Oh, I haven't even looked at that yet!"

Although Conan had absolutely no interest in such matters, since Heiji Hattori had brought it up, he took out the fortune slip he had casually slipped into his pocket. "Let me see, a minor stroke of luck..."

Hattori then leaned closer to Conan to examine the fortune slip.

"Honestly, this is basically saying nothing at all!"

While Heiji Hattori was complaining, Conan suddenly noticed something about the fortune slip that caught his attention.

[Travel: The secret will be revealed, don't go.]

"!!!"

At that moment, Conan also subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of the shrine.

Xiao Lan's image instantly appeared in his mind, reminding him of the fortune slip she had drawn.

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in Conan's mind. "Heh, that can't be..."

Seeing the look of disbelief on Conan's face, Heiji Hattori reminded him, "I've heard that the fortune slips here are incredibly accurate!"

"Huh? You're lying!" Conan was startled by Hattori Heiji's words and subconsciously turned around to refute him, only to see Hattori Heiji looking at him with a wicked smile. He couldn't help but grin at him.

"Hattori."

Conan didn't dwell on the matter with Heiji Hattori. Instead, he took out his phone, glanced at the time, and paused for a moment.

"What's wrong, Kudo?" Seeing Conan's serious expression, Hattori Heiji also put away his joking thoughts.
