The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

It wasn't until it heard Aragaki Yu's next words that it suddenly opened its eyes and began to doubt its life as a pigeon.

"I wonder if such a well-behaved pigeon will taste better than a regular pigeon."

Pigeon: "Coo???"

……

"Shin, Shin-gaki?" Ran put the pigeon that had started to struggle in her arms back into the basket, and looked at Shin-gaki Yu with some hesitation, as if she was hesitating about something.

"Xiao Lan, what's wrong? You look so worried." Looking at Xiao Lan's current appearance, Aragaki Yu could roughly guess what she was thinking.

It's nothing more than the birthday topic that Conan, that idiot, just discussed with Natsumi Kosaka and Aoran Ura, which aroused Ran's suspicion and confusion.

Although Shinichi Kudo had made a brief appearance before.

But apart from that one time, Ran was still worried about Shinichi Kudo, who had only made a few sporadic phone calls after so long.

Not only is Conan very similar to Shinichi in many ways.

This is what happened after Shinichi Kudo disappeared.

And after Shinichi Kudo returned last time, Conan didn't appear in front of Ran's eyes. It wasn't until Shinichi left again that Conan returned to the agency. All these "coincidences" aroused Ran's suspicion.

After hesitating for a moment, looking at Aragaki Yu's worried face, Ran couldn't help but ask, "Aragaki, do you think it's possible for an adult to suddenly turn into a child?"

Upon hearing Ran's question, Aragaki Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly recovered and nodded to Ran, saying, "Of course!"

"I knew it couldn't be... Wait, you said of course!?" Ran suddenly realized what Aragaki Yu had said and her eyes widened. She stared at Aragaki Yu in disbelief and stammered.

At that moment, Xiaolan suddenly felt nervous.

Difficult, could it be...?

Conan...

Is he really Shinichi?!

Even Yuya Aragaki thinks so?

Seeing Ran suddenly become flustered, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but chuckle. "Of course I am, Ran. Did you also watch that movie from a few days ago? It's about an adult turning into a child."

"Ah, huh?"

Ran, whose thoughts were still churning like a stormy sea, was stunned when she heard what Aragaki Yu said.

Her wide eyes instantly turned into tiny beady eyes as she blinked twice at Aragaki Yu, bewildered. "You, you're talking about the movie?"

"Otherwise, Ran, you haven't seen that movie yet, have you?" Aragaki Yu smiled, patted Ran's shoulder, and sat down next to her. "It was pretty good."

"Is that so?"

Ran, whose topic was inexplicably diverted, momentarily forgot about Shinichi.

Or perhaps it was her instinct to refuse to believe that Conan was actually Shinichi Kudo.

So, Xiaolan subconsciously started talking to Aragaki Yu about the movie he had mentioned.

She joined their conversation after Sonoko and Akemi Miyano returned.

After being described by Yuu Aragaki and Sonoko, Ran suddenly became interested in the movie where adults turned into children.

She couldn't help but start thinking that she must watch that movie properly when she got home.

……

I don't know how much time passed, but the sky began to darken.

The group of people who were chatting on the deck returned to their respective rooms.

Ran's eyes were still somewhat complicated as she looked at Conan walking into the room, as if she was thinking about something.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she held back.

However, because Conan was preoccupied with the individuals on the deck who clearly had their own agendas, he didn't notice Ran's strange behavior.

It was getting late, and although it wasn't dinner time yet, the girls in the room decided to go back to their rooms to rest.

Just as Ran, Sonoko, and Akemi Miyano were saying their goodbyes.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the hallway outside the room.

The next moment, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door of the next room.

"Mr. Mori! Is Mr. Mori there?!"

Outside the door was the flustered voice of Secretary Nishino Masato.

Then came the sound of what seemed to be a door opening, followed by Kogoro Mouri's excited voice, "Oh my, what's this? It's finally time to eat, isn't it!"

Chapter 374 The Luxurious Death Squad

Mr. Hanchuan Long is dead; he was shot and killed in his own room.

When the group arrived at Ryuu's room, led by Masato Nishino, Shiro Suzuki was already standing at the door, stunned.

Although Shiro Suzuki is the head of a super conglomerate, he still seemed somewhat at a loss when he witnessed a person who was alive and well not long ago die in front of him.

Han Chuanlong lay on the floor of the room, which was in complete disarray.

"He was shot in the right eye, and the bullet pierced his brain, causing his death!"

Conan rushed into the room immediately to examine the body of Hanchuan Long.

When he noticed Han Chuanlong's right eye, which had been shot, he couldn't help but become extremely alert.

"Scooping!"

The name instantly popped into Conan's mind.

Last night, Kidd, who stole the Egg of Memories, was also shot in the right eye mid-air and his fate remains unknown.

Conan subconsciously glanced back at Aragaki Yu and found that he was also squinting and nodding slightly at him.

However, before Conan could confirm anything with Aragaki Yu, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

next second.

Kogoro Mouri grabbed Conan and angrily threw him out of Ryu Saikawa's room, yelling, "Kid, don't you dare run around at the crime scene!"

"Ouch!"

Ran, who was standing at the door, saw Conan lying on the ground and rushed over to help him up, asking with concern, "Conan, are you alright?"

"No, I'm fine, Ran-neechan!" Conan rubbed his head, which was throbbing from the knock, and quickly replied to Ran.

At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Kogoro Mouri with a hint of reproach, thinking to himself, "Damn it, it's all because of my shrunken body!"

That despicable Black Organization!

I, Shinichi Kudo, will remember this grudge!

"My cheeks have only just started to stiffen!"

As expected of someone with a background in criminal investigation, although his reasoning skills as a detective are somewhat questionable, his ability to identify crime scenes is quite impressive.

After examining the body of the deceased, Ryu Saekawa, Kogoro Mouri slowly said, "About 30 minutes after death."

"Huh, the deceased's pendant is gone."

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Conan, who had been rubbing his head, suddenly paused, and his eyes instinctively began searching for the suspicious figures who had appeared on the deck earlier.

If I remember correctly...

The ring on Mr. Hanchuanlong's chest pendant is the ring of Maria, the third daughter of Nicholas II.

These are treasures left behind by the Romanov dynasty.

Skobing was also a guy who was very interested in Romanov dynasty artifacts.

And those suspicious guys who were lurking around on deck earlier...

What exactly is the connection between these things...?

In that instant, Conan involuntarily fell into deep thought.

When Ran saw Conan's expression, which was exactly the same as Shinichi's, her suspicion deepened.

……

After scanning the surroundings of the room again, Kogoro Mouri stood up and said to Shiro Suzuki outside the door, "Chairman Suzuki, this is a murder case. Please contact the police immediately."

"Ah...ok!"

After receiving the emergency call, the Metropolitan Police Department, due to the involvement of the Suzuki Foundation, dispatched a team led by Inspector Megure to the scene by helicopter.

The efficiency of the police response left Aragaki Yuu in awe.

As police helicopters circled over the cruise ship.

Kogoro Mouri, Yu Aragaki, and Shiro Suzuki also appeared on the helipad of the cruise ship to welcome the police.

Upon seeing Inspector Megure and the others disembarking from the helicopter, Kogoro Mouri instinctively stood up straight, saluted, and said, "Inspector Megure, we've been waiting for you!"

Affected by the airflow generated by the helicopter rotor, Inspector Megure could only hold his hat tightly and carefully walk up to Kogoro Mouri.

Besides Inspector Megure and several forensic personnel, Inspector Takagi and Inspector Shiratori also accompanied them.
