The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Honestly, why is there always a case wherever you are!" Inspector Megure wasn't buying Kogoro Mouri's act and instead complained to him with a stern face.

It wasn't until he turned around and saw Aragaki Yu behind Kogoro Mouri that his expression became a little more amiable. "Yo, Aragaki-kun, so you're here too!"

"Inspector Megure, it's been a long time!" Yuu Aragaki smiled and nodded at Inspector Megure.

"Hey Aragaki, I think you'd better stay away from that Mori guy, or you'll get affected by his bad luck sooner or later!" Inspector Megure couldn't help but remind him as his beloved younger brother was once again embroiled in a case.

Although Inspector Megure knew that as a police officer, he had to believe in the principles of science.

But he had to admit that Kogoro Mouri was indeed a truly unlucky guy.

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu could only give an awkward smile.

After all, this journey has truly gathered a large number of Grim Reapers.

It's a truly luxurious lineup of Grim Reapers.

It's truly a miracle that only one person has died so far.

"Hahaha." Clearly, Kogoro Mouri didn't take Inspector Megure's words to heart. Instead, he scratched his head and said, "I think this might be God's will! To let me, the great detective, solve the case!"

Inspector Megure ignored Kogoro Mouri's explanation, greeted Shiro Suzuki, and walked towards the crime scene without looking back.

On the contrary, Officer Shiratori, who was following behind Inspector Megure, suddenly stopped when he passed by Kogoro Mouri.

Officer Shiratori gave Kogoro Mouri a strange look, and amidst his awkward laughter, said in a low voice, "I think it's more accurate to say that Mr. Mouri himself is a god!"

"Huh?" Kogoro Mouri was taken aback, clearly not understanding what Officer Shiratori meant.

Amid Kogoro Mouri's surprised expression, Inspector Shiratori's lips curled into a slight smile. "And he's a Grim Reaper."

After saying that, he quickly followed Inspector Megure, who was walking away, without hesitation.

"Um!?"

Kogoro Mouri's expression froze instantly. When he came to his senses from his daze and was about to lash out, he found that only he and Yuu Aragaki remained on the deck.

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri seemed to be petrified due to the shock, Aragaki Yu could only smile wryly and pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Chapter 375 White Bird? No, it's Kid.

"The victim was Mr. Hanchuan Long, 32 years old."

Inside the victim's room, police are conducting a detailed investigation of the crime scene.

Upon arriving late, Kogoro Mouri, after returning to the scene, did not forget to remind Inspector Megure that this might be a robbery-murder case.

The reason given was that the culprit stole the ring from Mr. Hanchuan Long's chest.

"A ring?" Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro Mouri in surprise.

“That’s right!” Kogoro Mori stated confidently, “That ring is said to be the ring of Maria, the third daughter of Nicholas II, and it’s a very valuable treasure!”

"I see." Inspector Megure nodded.

Just as Kogoro Mouri was feeling smug about his judgment, Conan, who had somehow slipped into the room, offered a different perspective: "But if it was a robbery, the culprit only needed to take the ring from Mr. Ryu Saikawa's chest. Why did they have to destroy the whole room like this?"

Upon hearing Conan's words, everyone in the room was momentarily stunned.

Kogoro Mouri, in particular, turned pale and angrily ran to Conan, grabbing him and yelling, "You brat, you've been so arrogant, barging in here again, haven't you!"

Kogoro Mouri, who was already resentful of what Inspector Shiratori had said to him, vented all his frustration on Conan.

After giving Conan a hard punch on the head, he threw him out of the room again.

Seeing Conan flying straight towards him through the air, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Aragaki Yu had no choice but to reach out and catch him.

After confirming that Conan in his hands was not in any danger of being hammered into an idiot, Aragaki Yuu put the still somewhat dizzy Conan back on the ground.

Just at this time.

The forensic personnel in the room suddenly ran to Inspector Megure's side, "Inspector, we've found this."

Inspector Megure took the evidence handed to him by the forensic personnel and, upon closer inspection, realized it was a ballpoint pen.

The pen itself is inscribed with the name "Nishino".

As a result, Suzuki Shiro's secretary, Nishino Masato, suddenly became a prime suspect for the police.

……

After the police gathered everyone on the cruise ship in the lobby, Inspector Megure also came into the lobby with the evidence he had collected.

"Mr. Nishino, this ballpoint pen is yours, right?"

"Wha...what!?"

Masato Nishino was clearly taken aback when he saw the ballpoint pen in Inspector Megure's hand.

After frantically patting his pockets and discovering that the pen he had been keeping there had disappeared, his face turned pale.

Besides looking unsightly, his furrowed brows revealed the immense doubt in his heart.

He had absolutely no idea why his pen was in Mr. Hanchuan Long's room.

"Oh, by the way, may I ask you something?" Kogoro Mouri suddenly asked, "Mr. Nishino, were you the one who discovered the body?"

“Ah…yes.” Nishino Masato hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. “Because it was almost time to eat, I went to call him, but when I opened the door, I found Mr. Hanchuan Long lying in a pool of blood.”

"Did you go into the room at that time?" Inspector Megure continued to press.

"No!" Masato Nishino shook his head nervously.

“If not.” Clearly, Kogoro Mouri didn’t believe Masato Nishino’s explanation. “Why would your pen be in Mr. Ryu Sakkawa’s room?”

"I...I don't know either..."

……

While Inspector Megure was taking statements in the lobby, Inspector Shiratori quietly left the lobby under the pretext of going to the restroom.

At the restroom entrance, Officer Shiratori suddenly stopped. Instead of going inside, he leaned against the wall, seemingly waiting for someone.

really.

The next second, Yuya Aragaki appeared at the bathroom door.

"Hey, Aragaki, how did you recognize me?!"

Seemingly out of consideration for the privacy of its guests, the Suzuki family's cruise ship did not have any surveillance cameras installed.

Therefore, after confirming that no one was around, Officer Shiratori suspiciously checked her makeup in the mirror by the sink, but she couldn't find any flaws.

However, his voice suddenly changed, from Officer Shiratori's voice to that of Phantom Thief Kid.

However, Yu Aragaki did not show any surprise on his face.

Although he didn't notice anything amiss with Kaito Kid's disguise.

However, when Officer Shiratori followed Inspector Megure off the plane, the snow woman perched on Aragaki Yu's head had already told him about the scent of Kuroba Kaito on Officer Shiratori.

Very rich.

It's definitely not the kind of scent you pick up from contact.

Therefore, there is only one possible explanation.

The officer who accompanied Inspector Megure this time is actually Kaito Kid in disguise, who was sniped by Scorpion and whose fate is still unknown.

“Intuition.” Yuu Aragaki shook his head, giving Kaito Kuroba a vague reason.

Kaito Kuroba, disguised as Officer Shiratori, gave Yu Aragaki a strange look after hearing his explanation.

However, he didn't feel that Aragaki Yu was fooling him.

Because he knew very well that there were some people in this world who could do that.

It's like an innate talent that no amount of skillful disguise can overcome.

"Has it been confirmed?" Kaito Kuroba washed his hands at the sink and looked at Yuu Aragaki in the mirror, asking, "What is that guy's identity?"

Yuu Aragaki glanced indifferently at Kaito Kuroba.

Judging from his words, Kaito Kuroba is quite certain that Scrooge is among the people currently on the cruise ship.

When he noticed the barely concealed smile on Kaito Kuroba's lips, Yuya Aragaki realized that he had already roughly identified his target.

The reason he's asking himself so many questions now is either to confirm his guess or to show off something to himself.

A few seconds later, a name came out of Aragaki Yu's mouth.

“Pu Siqinglan”.

"Oh ho." Yuu Aragaki could tell that Kaito Kuroba's expression showed no surprise or astonishment.

“Her Chinese accent is very strange, and it can’t be explained by the term Chinese.” After thinking for a moment, Aragaki Yu continued, “And the color of her pupils is also very strange. The pupil color of Chinese people should be similar to ours, and there shouldn’t be gray pupils.”

Chapter 376 Thank you for your hard work, Officer "White Bird"

“When I noticed her identity, I also began to doubt it.” Kaito Kuroba shrugged helplessly at Yuu Aragaki. “But I really didn’t expect her to kill someone.”

"Who told him to show off that Romanov dynasty ring?" Although he said this, there was no trace of regret on Aragaki Yu's face. "Or maybe that guy filmed something he shouldn't have. You can only blame him for always holding up that camera and filming randomly!"

"maybe!"
