The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"I see!"

The next second, Kogoro Mouri's face showed a look of sudden realization, and he looked excitedly at Inspector Megure, "Inspector Megure! I know! So this case is like two eggs, or you could say there are two cases overlapping!"

"Two cases?" Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro Mouri with a puzzled expression.

Officer Shiratori glanced at Yuu Aragaki with surprise, seemingly curious about Yuu's suggestion to Kogoro Mouri. He had originally planned to enjoy watching the "little detective's" performance.

However, Conan, who was completely unaware of all this, couldn't help but smile knowingly after seeing Kogoro Mouri's deduction getting on track.

“That’s right!” Kogoro Mori nodded. “The first case was that Mr. Kankawa wanted to frame Mr. Nishino. He deliberately showed the ring to us so that Mr. Nishino would be seen as the thief who stole the ring! He must have sneaked into Mr. Nishino’s room while he was taking a shower and hid the ring under his bed. Then, he stole Mr. Nishino’s pen and put it in his own room.”

"How...how could this be!?" Mr. Nishino's face showed an expression of disbelief when he heard this.

Ignoring Mr. Nishino's surprise, Kogoro Mori continued, "But what Mr. Hankawa didn't expect was that the second case occurred at this moment. Mr. Hankawa was shot and killed by Scrooge in his room. I think Scrooge's purpose was probably because Mr. Hankawa accidentally photographed his true face and his ring! But the necklace around his neck was missing, so Scrooge searched the whole room for the ring!"

Inspector Megure: "I see!"

Upon discovering that Kogoro Mouri's reasoning was almost identical to his own, Conan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "As expected of Uncle, as expected of a master detective!"

The others present applauded Kogoro Mouri's reasoning.

"Hahaha!" Seeing this scene, Kogoro Mouri finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying smugly, "This is nothing to me!"

However, Inspector Megure's expression suddenly turned serious. "So, this Scorpion is probably still hiding somewhere on the ship?"

"Regarding that, Inspector Megure," Officer Shiratori interjected at the opportune moment, "I've noticed that one of the lifeboats on the ship is missing!"

"What!?" Inspector Megure's expression changed.

"Huh?" Conan and Kogoro Mouri also showed surprised expressions.

After pondering for a moment, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but mutter, "So, Scorpion escaped in a lifeboat?"

Officer Shiratori did not directly answer Kogoro Mouri's question. "We have immediately launched an emergency search! However, given the vast ocean and our limited manpower, I think it will be difficult to find anything!"

Inspector Megure's face darkened upon hearing this. "Damn it, he got away!"

Conan, however, harbored a slight doubt about whether Scorpion had truly left.

Ran looked at Conan, whose thoughtful expression was exactly the same as Shinichi's, and her expression also became serious.

Only Aragaki Yu and Officer Shiratori glanced discreetly at Ms. Urako Seiran, whose lips curled up slightly for a moment.

This confirmed their suspicions about her identity.

"At least we can breathe a sigh of relief knowing the murderer isn't on the ship!" Art dealer Qian Jiangyi shrugged with a smile.

He didn't care at all whether the police could catch Scrooge; all he cared about was his own life and those two eggs.

"Yes, we can finally relax." The others in the hall also showed expressions of relief.

"But Scrooge is still eyeing the other egg, isn't he?" Seeing everyone's expressions, Officer Shiratori reminded them, "I think he's very likely to reappear in Miss Kosaka's castle."

"Ah!" Upon hearing these words, Natsumi Kosaka visibly tensed up.

"By the way, Inspector Megure!"

Just then, Officer Shiratori suddenly looked at Officer Megure and volunteered, "After we arrive in Tokyo tomorrow, I would also like to go to the villa with Ms. Natsumi and Mr. Mori."

"Hmm." Inspector Megure hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Thank you for your trouble, Inspector Shiratori!"

"Hey, kid!" Kogoro Mouri looked at Conan as well, "Scholes is a very dangerous guy, so we can't take you with us on this mission!"

Upon hearing this, Conan also felt a surge of anxiety.

However, before Conan could say anything, Officer Shiratori spoke up for him, saying, "No, I think we should take Conan with us!"

"What?" Kogoro Mouri looked at Officer Shiratori in confusion.

Even Conan's gaze towards Inspector Shiratori was filled with surprise.

With his hands in his pockets, Officer Shiratori smiled and explained to Kogoro Mouri, "His unique perspective might actually be helpful to us."

"What? You mean this brat?" Kogoro Mouri looked at Inspector Shiratori in disbelief, pointing to Conan in front of him.

“That’s right!” A strange smile suddenly appeared on Officer Shiratori’s face.

This expression startled Conan.

I was already worried about the fortune slip I drew at the shrine.

After noticing Officer Shiratori's recent behavior, he became extremely nervous.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to participate in this operation again.

But if you're a detective, and you don't get involved in things like this...

Conan suddenly clenched his fist tightly, his heart filled with conflict.

This behavior, however, was all observed by Xiaolan, who was watching him closely.

Seeing this scene, Aragaki Yu, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, helplessly shrugged at Officer Shiratori.

Kaito Kuroba is scaring Conan again.

They truly are brothers who love and hate each other!

……

Chapter 380 Convergence

The next day, after an ordinary night, the Suzuki family's cruise ship finally arrived at the port of Tokyo.

After a brief rest, the group drove towards the castle of Natsumi Kosaka.

The group prepared to retrieve the other egg.

One of the cars was driven by Akemi Miyano, with Yuu Aragaki in the passenger seat.

In the back row sat Conan, Kogoro Mouri, and Sylph.

As for Xiaolan, she was pulled by Ms. Kousaka Natsumi and got into the same car as Urashi Seiran.

Because they knew that Pu Siqinglan would never harm anyone before seeing the other egg.

Furthermore, the person driving was none other than Officer Shiratori, who was also Kaito Kuroba, who knew the true identity of Aoran Urashi.

Yuya Aragaki did not stop Ran and Natsumi Kosaka.

On the way, with nothing else to do, Sirius gave a brief introduction to Maria, who was the former owner of the ring hanging on Mr. Hanchuanlong's pendant.

It is said that Maria was the most outstanding of the four sisters in her family, and had a pair of gray eyes.

After the Russian Revolution, the emperor's family was shot, and only the bodies of Maria and the crown prince were never found.

"Gray eyes? Isn't that the same as Miss Kosaka and Miss Aoran?" Conan, sitting in the back seat, suddenly leaned back against the seat after hearing Silph's description, seemingly lost in thought.

……

Before sunset, the group arrived at Miss Natsumi Kosaka's castle in Yokosuka.

As the three cars drove into the villa estate, everyone quickly stood in front of the castle gate.

Looking at the magnificent castle before her, Ran momentarily forgot about Conan and exclaimed with delight, "Wow, what a beautiful castle!"

“That’s right, that’s right!” Akemi Miyano, standing beside her, couldn’t help but nod repeatedly. “It really is exactly the same as what I saw in that little mirror!”

"It looks a lot like Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, which is the model for Cinderella Castle," Officer Shiratori remarked, gazing at the castle before him.

"Huh? Wasn't Miss Kosaka's great-grandmother Russian?"

Conan, however, caught something strange in Officer Shiratori's words. He looked at the castle in front of him with some suspicion, wondering why it was in a German style.

Just then, a yellow Volkswagen Beetle suddenly drove in from outside the manor gate.

Just as everyone turned around in confusion, the Beetle came to a stop.

next second.

As Conan's gaze grew increasingly shocked, the members of the Detective Boys beat Professor Agasa to the punch and excitedly jumped out of the car.

"Conan!"

"Conan, how are you?"

When Mitsuhiko and the others saw Conan, they greeted him with both hands raised in high spirits.

The next moment, Ai Haibara and the Doctor opened the car door and got out of the car together.

When she saw her sister not far away, a happy smile suddenly appeared on her previously expressionless face.

But when she noticed Aragaki Yu standing next to her sister, she subconsciously gritted her teeth.

It's all that awful man's fault for bringing his sister to this godforsaken place!

"Professor, what brings you here?" Ran asked, somewhat puzzled, as Professor Agasa walked towards her.

"Haha, this!" Professor Agasa explained with a laugh, "I came here specifically to see if there was anything I could help with after I received a call from Conan. These kids insisted on coming along too."

At this point, Dr. Agasa awkwardly scratched his head.

He was too embarrassed to admit that he had fallen for Ai's trick and that's why he had to bring these children along.

Then, while Ran was greeting the other children, Professor Agasa quietly crouched down and handed Conan the contents of his pocket. "I made an enhanced version as you requested."

These are glasses that Conan asked Dr. Agasa to make specially last night.
