The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Kaito Kuroba also knew that there was no evidence to reveal the identity of Seiran Urashi at the moment, after all, it was just speculation made by him and Yuu Aragaki at this moment.

Without evidence, making such a claim would not be easily believed by the police; on the contrary, it would arouse their suspicion.

"Then what should we do now?"

Without giving it much thought, Aragaki Yu replied to Kuroba Kaito, "Let's wait and see. The fox's tail will always be revealed eventually."

Upon hearing Yuu Aragaki's suggestion, Kaito Kuroba, who had no better solution, hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Then that's the only way."

Just as Kaito Kuroba was about to discuss with Yuu Aragaki how to monitor Seiran Urashi's every move.

Suddenly, Yuu Aragaki patted Kaito Kuroba on the shoulder and said, "So, I'll have to keep an eye on her for a while."

"Huh?" Kaito Kuroba turned and stared at Yuu Aragaki in surprise. "And you?"

"me?"

Faced with Kaito Kuroba's doubts, Yuu Aragaki put on a matter-of-fact expression and said, "Of course I'm going to enjoy this trip. Catching criminals is a job that should be left to the police, right, Officer Shiratori!"

Kaito Kuroba: "..."

Just as Kaito Kuroba was about to refute something, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from the corridor.

Kaito Kuroba's expression changed, and to avoid arousing suspicion, he instinctively turned around and slipped into the men's restroom.

However, Yuu Aragaki calmly turned on the faucet at the sink, pretending to have just come out of the toilet.

……

"If Mr. Nishino is the murderer who killed Kankawa, then he is very likely the Scorpion who sniped Kid?" Conan sat on the sofa, frowning as he pondered the police's interrogation of Nishino Masato.

However, he never noticed Xiao Lan secretly observing him from the side.

Just then, Officer Takagi rushed into the lobby and reported to Inspector Megure, "Inspector Megure, during the search of the victim's room, we discovered that all the videotapes the victim recorded are missing!"

"What?" Inspector Megure looked somewhat surprised.

Kogoro Mouri, however, had a look of sudden realization on his face. "I see, no wonder Kagawa's room was ransacked!"

"But why did the murderer take those videotapes?" Inspector Megure couldn't quite understand the murderer's actions.

However, Conan, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly seemed to remember something and jumped off the sofa, rushing out of the hall in a hurry.

"Conan! Don't run around like that, come back here right now!" Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri was afraid that Conan would cause some trouble, so he angrily shouted at Conan.

"It's okay, I'll keep an eye on him!" Xiao Lan quickly stood up at this moment.

After giving Kogoro Mouri some instructions, she hurriedly followed Conan.

However, perhaps it was because Conan ran too fast.

Before she could run two steps, Ran lost sight of Conan and could only search for him like a headless fly in the cruise ship's corridors.

At this moment, Xiaolan's expression appeared extremely conflicted.

She increasingly felt that Conan's actions were exactly the same as Shinichi's.

Just as Ran was looking around at the corner, searching for Conan, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

"Ah!" Startled, Xiaolan instinctively took two steps forward, then looked back in horror.

But he found that Yuu Aragaki was standing behind him with one hand outstretched, looking at him strangely.

"It was you... Aragaki! Seriously, you almost scared me to death!" Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest in lingering fear.

She almost thought that the person who had just patted her on the shoulder from behind was some kind of ghost or something that was wandering on the cruise ship.

"I was almost scared to death, thank goodness I wasn't..." Thinking of this, Xiaolan couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

Little did she know that the "ghost" snow woman she was talking about was curiously squatting on her head, studying the "horns" on her head.

"Ran, what are you doing here?" Aragaki Yu glanced at the Yuki-onna who was clinging to Ran's "horn" and wouldn't let go, and asked with some curiosity.

"Conan, Conan just ran out by himself again. I was worried about him, so I..." Ran explained hesitantly.

Of course, she wouldn't tell Aragaki Yu that she came out to find out because she suspected Conan was Shinichi.

“The armed criminals might still be lurking on the cruise ship right now. It’s too dangerous for you to act alone. I think we should hurry back to the lobby and meet up with everyone.” Yuu Aragaki reached out to stop Ran from continuing to search for Conan.

"But, but Conan..." Ran's face paled slightly when she heard about the armed robber, but she still hesitated and became even more worried about Conan's safety.

“Conan,” Yuu Aragaki chuckled, pointed to the restroom behind him, and explained, “Don’t worry, I just saw Conan walk by in the hallway when I was in the restroom, and Officer Shiratori was chasing after him.”

"Yes, is that so!" Xiaolan blinked blankly, but her expression involuntarily relaxed a lot.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After hanging up the phone with Dr. Agasa, Conan's face immediately turned serious.

But just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly trembled all over, as if a pair of eyes in the darkness were staring intently at him.

He instinctively turned and ran out, frantically searching around, but found no one nearby.

Looking at the empty corridor, Conan frowned. "What's wrong? Am I too nervous?"

Chapter 377 Masato Nishino's Ambition

Soon, the police found the missing pendant on the deceased's body under the bed in Masato Nishino's room.

"This, how is this possible!" Nishino Masato's face was filled with shock and fear.

He is not stupid.

Masato Nishino knew very well what it meant that the police had found the deceased's belongings in his room.

“Mr. Nishino, the evidence is now conclusive!” Inspector Megure said warily, looking at Masato Nishino beside him.

However, an agitated Masato Nishino grabbed him by the collar: "Wait a minute, officer! I didn't do this, I really don't know anything!"

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri quickly stepped forward and grabbed Masato Nishino's arm, rescuing Inspector Megure from her grasp.

At the same time, Kogoro Mori stared into Masato Nishino's eyes and questioned him word by word: "If you didn't do it, then why is Mr. Kagawa's ring in your room?"

"I... I really don't know!" Because no one believed him, Nishino Masato seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown.

Conan, who had returned at some point, also silently entered Masato Nishino's room, looking around as he pondered the problem.

Through Aragaki Yu and Professor Agasa, Conan has confirmed that the culprit this time is definitely the guy named Scorpion.

But he still didn't think that Mr. Nishino would be Skobing.

Just as he walked to Mr. Nishino's bedside, he was suddenly drawn to the pillow on Mr. Nishino's bed.

Because that doesn't seem to be the standard pillow style found in cruise ship cabins.

Conan couldn't help but reach out and rub Nishino Masato's pillow, but then let out a soft "hmm".

It appeared to be a rice husk pillow.

Wait a moment……

At that moment, Conan suddenly recalled the scene when Mr. Nishino walked into his and Aragaki Yu's room with Ran and the others.

"Conan!"

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing next to Inspector Megure and holding onto Mr. Nishino's arm, also noticed Conan sneaking into the room again.

Faced with this mischievous brat, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but roar and rush forward, wanting to give Conan a good punch on the head and teach him a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Conan, holding Mr. Nishino's pillow, turned around by sheer coincidence and narrowly avoided Kogoro Mouri's attack.

Kogoro Mouri lost his footing and missed, instead falling hard onto Masato Nishino's bed.

Conan, however, had no idea what had happened.

Instead, he glanced at Kogoro Mouri, who had suddenly jumped onto someone else's bed for some unknown reason, with a puzzled look, and then looked at Masato Nishino and asked, "Mr. Nishino, do you have a feather allergy?"

"Huh?" Masato Nishino, who was about to be handcuffed by Inspector Megure, turned around in confusion upon hearing Conan's words.

Although he didn't know why Conan asked that question, he answered truthfully, "Yes!"

"I knew it! No wonder Mr. Nishino's pillow is different from ours." Conan said loudly, lifting up the pillow from Masato Nishino's bed with both hands.

"Conan, what does this have to do with feather allergy?" Inspector Megure momentarily forgot about continuing to handcuff Masato Nishino and instead turned to Conan to ask.

"Because..."

Just as Conan was about to say something more, Aragaki Yu, noticing the increasingly suspicious look on Ran's face, helplessly spoke up first, "Because that means Mr. Nishino can't be the murderer!"

Just as Conan was about to speak, Officer Shiratori's eyes involuntarily narrowed.

Only after realizing that Aragaki Yu had interrupted Conan did Officer Shiratori glance at Ran with a half-smile.

Sure enough, he's an idiot detective!

"What!?" Inspector Megure was instantly dumbfounded.

"Huh?" Kogoro Mouri, who had finally managed to get out of Masato Nishino's bed, couldn't help but sit down again after hearing what Yu Aragaki said, and fell back onto the bed.

Only Nishino Masato showed an excited expression of relief on his face.

“Because the room of the deceased, Mr. Hanukawa, was full of feathers, wasn’t it?” Aragaki Yu pointed to the rice husk pillow in Conan’s hand before continuing, “The culprit even cut open that feather pillow, which is something that people with feather allergies would find impossible to do.”

"Hmm?" Inspector Megure pondered for a moment after hearing Aragaki Yu's words, then turned to Nishino Masato with a somewhat unpleasant expression and asked, "Do you really have a feather allergy?"

“Of course!” Nishino Masato said excitedly.
