The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

What piqued Kaito Kid's interest was the signature on the invitation: "The Phantom of the Forsaken Son of God."

The word "phantom" in the notice has the meaning of appearing and disappearing mysteriously.

The second half of the phrase, "the sons abandoned by God," combined with biblical allusions, easily evokes the image of a "little goat."

If you replace the Chinese characters for "Ya Renmin South Road" with English, it becomes "KID".

That is, Kidd.

Since someone has invited so many famous detectives to gather together in the name of Phantom Thief Kid, it's quite surprising.

As for Kaito Kid himself, he would naturally not miss such a banquet.

……

So today, he made a special trip to work at this gas station, which is located on the only way to the Twilight Villa.

The goal, of course, was to infiltrate the detectives who had been invited to the dinner party.

Kogoro Mouri, who was the easiest target to obtain, naturally became his best choice.

Moreover, the other detectives invited to the banquet were either old men, women, or men whose physiques were vastly different from his.

Besides Kogoro Mouri, the only guy suitable for long-term disguise is that kid Hakuba Saguru.

But he also has an eagle that is always by his side.

Disguise is easy to fool people, but it's not so easy to fool animals.

In a place where detectives gather, once a flaw is revealed, it might not be so easy to leave.

……

More than half an hour later, Akemi Miyano and Yuu Aragaki finally arrived at their destination by car.

Dusk Villa.

By this time, there were already quite a few cars parked in the courtyard of the villa.

Among them are many luxury imported cars.

Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Porsche...

The most eye-catching of them all was an Alfa Romeo parked on the far side.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri, Ran, Conan, and an unfamiliar old woman were standing curiously in front of the car, holding an umbrella and talking to the car's owner.

Yuya Aragaki, who had just gotten off the car, happened to hear the name of the car's owner from the old woman standing next to Kogoro Mouri—Harufumi Mogi.

Harufumi Mogi also called out the old woman's identity.

This old woman was no ordinary person; she was the legendary detective, Chima Kazuyo, who could easily solve cases simply by sitting in her armchair and listening to people talk about them.

These guys were naturally drawn to the car that had just driven in.

As Aragaki Yu and Miyano Akemi got out of the car, Ran and Conan immediately surrounded them in surprise.

"Aragaki, and Masami-san, what brings you to this place?" Ran excitedly ran up to Aragaki Yu and Miyano Akemi, holding an umbrella.

"Oh, this!" Yuu Aragaki reached into his pocket and pulled out the invitation, explaining with a smile, "Naturally, just like you guys, I received an invitation from that guy Kid!"

As he spoke, Aragaki Yu also glanced discreetly at Mouri Kogoro, who was walking towards them with Senma Kazuyo and Mogi Harufumi.

Chapter 415 Clash with the Famous Detective (2)

Kogoro Mouri was clearly taken aback when he saw Yuu Aragaki get out of the car.

This was naturally noticed by Senma Kazuyo and Mogi Harufumi, who were standing beside him.

"Hey, little mustache, who's this kid?" As the three of them approached Aragaki Yu, Mogi Harufumi nudged Mouri Kogoro beside him with his elbow and asked.

Harufumi Mogi naturally heard the boy's name—Aragaki—from the girl named Ran Mouri who had just run past.

But he didn't recall having such a young detective in Japan.

After all, those invited to this banquet are not nobody.

"You mean that kid Yuu Aragaki, how should I put it..." Before Kogoro Mouri could figure out how to answer Harufumi Mogi's question.

Instead, it was Senma Kazuyo who spoke first, "Brother Mogi, perhaps you've been hanging out with those mafia in Chicago all this time and don't know, but this young man is someone who appeared like a rising star after that high school detective Shinichi Kudo disappeared."

At this point, Senma Kazuyo glanced meaningfully at the invitation in Aragaki Yu's hand and continued, "Although he hasn't solved many cases since his debut, he's a very famous guy in the Japanese police force."

"Oh?" When Mogi Harufumi heard this, his eyes lit up and he became interested in Aragaki Yu.

"But that guy is still way too green compared to me, Kogoro Mouri, hahaha!" Hearing what Kazuyo Senma said, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but chime in with an awkward laugh.

“But speaking of which, Mogi-kun,” Senma Kazuyo smiled upon hearing Kogoro Mouri’s words, then looked at Mogi Harufumi and asked, “Are you still able to handle it? I saw in the newspaper that you were attacked by those mafia in Chicago last week.”

Upon hearing Senma Kazuyo's words, Kogoro Mouri looked at Harufumi Mogi with slight surprise.

It was only then that he realized that what Senma Kazuyo had said earlier about Mogi Harufumi playing along with those mafia members was actually this kind of game!

"Oh dear!" Harufumi Mogi seemed completely unconcerned about the matter, laughing nonchalantly, "It happened so long ago, I've completely forgotten about it!"

At this point, the three of them walked over to Aragaki Yu and Miyano Akemi and the others.

The two groups met at the main entrance of the villa.

Since they were all in the same circle, they quickly hit it off and started chatting.

(Yu Aragaki: "Heh, from the same circle?")

To this day, he still doesn't understand why, after receiving Gin's mission, he actually received an invitation letter from "Kid".

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, the group arrived at the entrance of the villa with their luggage.

Kogoro Mouri, who was walking at the front, immediately reached out and knocked on the door.

After a short wait, the main gate of the annex was slowly opened from the inside.

Perhaps because the entire Twilight Villa is very old, the opening of the door was accompanied by a creaking sound.

A woman dressed as a maid stood respectfully inside the gate. She was wearing a black maid's shirt and a white apron, and was petite with a pretty face.

"Welcome!" The maid bowed to the group before looking at the people outside the door to confirm their identities. "It must be Mr. Mori, Mr. Mogi, Mr. Aragaki, and Ms. Chima. I've been waiting for you for quite some time."

"Please come inside!" Seeing that the people outside had no objections, she quickly stepped aside and invited the guests into the house.

The hall is spacious, but the overall color scheme is very dark.

Perhaps it was because the lighting equipment was not bright enough, coupled with the already gray sky outside and the occasional lightning strikes nearby.

The interior of the villa, like its exterior, gives a gloomy feeling.

As Xiaolan walked into the lobby, the first word that popped into her mind was "haunted house".

Her body shrank back unnaturally, and she subconsciously moved closer to Miyano Akemi's back.

"Is there anyone?"

Just then, a tall, stout man in a sharp white suit and a neat bow tie suddenly walked out from the back of the hall.

"Excuse me, I'll be right back!" Hearing someone calling her maid, she nodded apologetically to Kogoro Mouri and the others beside her before heading towards the man who had suddenly appeared.

For some reason, the man seemed a little angry. "I just went to the kitchen to take a look!"

Hearing the man's impolite tone, Xiaolan couldn't help but frown.

"Hmm, that person looks familiar..." Mogi Harufumi thought the other person looked somewhat familiar.

“He is the gourmet detective, Oogami Shuzen.” Kogoro Mouri recognized the man’s identity at a glance.

"What? You're saying the chef suddenly fell seriously ill and can't come!" After the maid said something to Oosuki, he suddenly became so angry that his mustache stood on end. "That's not what we said in the first place. I came all this way specifically for this dinner!"

"I'm so sorry!" The maid bowed apologetically to Ooue no Kisuke, "I've already bought all the necessary ingredients..."

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more!" Da Shang Zhu Shan interrupted the maid before she could finish speaking. "Then leave the kitchen to me, let me cook!"

Da Shang Zhushan's words surprised the people in the hall.

Even Aragaki Yu couldn't help but glance at the other person again.

"After all, in this world, only delicious food and murder cases can get my brain cells working!" Da Shang Zhushan muttered helplessly as he turned and walked towards the kitchen. "Seriously, what's going on here!"

Watching Oosugi's figure disappear through the small door on the side of the stairs, the maid couldn't help but sigh helplessly, as if she had thought of something.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she came to her senses and remembered the other guests still standing in the lobby.

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting so long!" He watched as the guests had already packed up their umbrellas and were walking towards him.

She had no choice but to quickly go forward and bow again in apology, saying, "I'm so sorry for the delay, I've kept you all waiting..."

Chapter 416 Afraid that Xiao Lan would smash the door apart with a single punch.

The maid didn't know what was wrong with her; she felt like she had been apologizing ever since she started this job.

She looked up, finally having a chance to properly observe the new guests.

"Wow, so handsome!"

But when her gaze fell on Aragaki Yu, she couldn't look away for a moment.

Noticing the maid's gaze falling on him, Aragaki Yu casually asked, "Is there something the master of this place has to do? Why have he invited so many detectives to this place at the same time?"
