The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

To avoid alerting the enemy, Yuu Aragaki did not decide to directly express his concerns, and thus simply gave a perfunctory reply.

"Mr. Aragaki, the restroom is at the end of the corridor." Upon hearing this, Yoko Okino quickly pointed out the location of the restroom to Yu Aragaki.

Aragaki Yu walked out of the living room and headed straight for the bathroom.

The only people not in the living room right now are Hoshino Terumi, who is changing clothes, and Kusano Kaoru, who is taking a bath.

Hoshino Terumi left the living room after Takeno Yuki returned after changing into her performance costume, so the only person who could have been in trouble was Kusano Kaoru.

He planned to find a way to get the Snow Woman to go to the bathroom to check on the situation.

However, just as he passed the bedroom door...

They paused for a brief moment.

Just as Aragaki Yu was hesitating about whether to let Yuki-onna go into the bedroom to take a look, there was a click, and the bedroom door was suddenly opened.

The next moment, Hoshino Terumi, who had already changed her clothes, walked out of the room and bumped right into Aragaki Yu, who was standing at the door.

The performance costume that Hoshino Terumi wore was the same style that Okino Yoko and Takeno Yuki changed into.

However, Yoko Okino was wearing pink, Yuki Takeno was wearing green, and Terumi Hoshino was wearing blue.

Unlike Yoko Okino's liveliness and cuteness, this outfit, when worn by Terumi Hoshino, creates a striking contrast with her intellect and maturity, resulting in a beautiful aesthetic.

"..."

Hoshino Terumi was startled when she saw the figure standing outside her door, and almost cried out in surprise.

When she finally saw Aragaki Yu's face clearly, she immediately covered her mouth, but the confusion in her eyes was impossible to hide.

"you……"

The next second, she suddenly glanced at him sideways, her cunning eyes scanning Aragaki Yu up and down. Her dark, bright eyes darted around. "So, you came here to spy on me while I'm changing clothes?"

"Forehead……"

Yuu Aragaki could tell from the sly smile on Terumi Hoshino's face that the other woman was just joking with him.

What he couldn't understand was why he felt this woman's attitude towards him was a little strange.

"I just went to the restroom."

Judging from Hoshino Terumi's behavior and attitude, it seems that nothing unexpected happened in the bedroom.

Therefore, the only possible problem is...

After giving Hoshino Terumi a perfunctory reply, Aragaki Yuya continued walking towards the end of the corridor.

The restroom is right next to the bathroom.

Therefore, Aragaki Yu's answer did not arouse Hoshino Terumi's suspicion.

A few steps later, Aragaki Yu stopped again outside the bathroom door, his brows furrowing deeply.

Now, without the Snow Woman saying anything, even he could smell the blood emanating from the bathroom.

Sure enough something happened!

Chapter 524 The Victim in the Bathroom

Hoshino Terumi also noticed Aragaki Yuu, who had stopped outside the bathroom door.

Seeing Aragaki Yu's nose twitch slightly, she raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but tease, "What? So you didn't want to watch your sister change clothes, but wanted to peep at Kaoru while she was taking a bath! But... I can understand a boy this age..."

"problem occurs!"

Before Hoshino Terumi could finish speaking, Aragaki Yu interrupted her.

"Something happened?" Hoshino Terumi was slightly taken aback. She gave Aragaki Yu a deep look, but the serious expression on the boy's face did not seem fake.

"Did you notice anything wrong?" Hoshino Terumi instantly dropped her nonchalant expression and slowly moved closer to Aragaki Yu.

"There was a bloody smell coming from inside."

Following Aragaki Yu's gaze, Hoshino Terumi's eyes fell on the bathroom door. After realizing something, her expression changed drastically. "Kaoru!"

Hoshino Terumi pounded on the bathroom door, but there was no response from inside.

"Ah Xun! Are you alright?"

"what happened?"

At this moment, the people who remained in the living room also heard the noise outside and hurriedly ran out.

"It seems like something happened to Kaoru!" Hoshino Terumi said anxiously to Kensuke Osamu and the others who rushed over, while banging on the bathroom door.

"what!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone immediately became tense. Kensuke even pulled open the bathroom door, which was occupied by Hoshino Terumi, and pounded on it, calling out, "Kaoru! Are you in there?"

"Kenki-nii! Open the door quickly!"

"what?"

Just then, Conan, who had fallen behind the others because he had discovered the bloodstains in the entryway, rushed over and shouted breathlessly to Kensuke Osamu, "Hurry up!"

"Ah Xun! I'm going in!" Jian Qixiu hesitated for a moment, and seeing that no one objected, he made up his mind, grabbed the bathroom doorknob, turned the door, and walked into the bathroom.

"Ah Xun?"

However, the moment he saw what was happening in the bathroom, his face turned deathly pale. "Ah Xun!"

Kusano Kaoru was lying naked in the bathtub, her upper body leaning against the tub wall without moving, and blood was flowing down the tub wall and onto the floor.

"Ah Xun, what happened to you?!" Jian Qixiu stood blankly at the bathroom door, looking somewhat at a loss.

Conan, who was right behind him, rushed into the bathroom and grabbed Kusano Kaoru's arm that was hanging outside. "She still has a pulse! We need to get her to the hospital quickly, there might still be hope!"

Kensuke stood there, staring at Kusano Kaoru, without reacting at all.

"Hurry up!" Conan anxiously repeated to Kensuke Osamu.

The next second, Yuu Aragaki, who had been blocking the doorway to prevent others from entering the bathroom to protect the scene, stepped into the bathroom after Kogoro Mouri took over his job. He casually picked up a towel hanging on the railing, draped it over Kaoru Kusano, wrapped it around her body, and then scooped her out of the bathtub and ran towards the door.

As she stepped out of the bathroom, she didn't forget to use a towel to cover the wound on Kusano Kaoru's neck.

Seeing this scene, Kogoro Mouri immediately ordered Ran outside, "Ran, call 120 quickly!"

"it is good!"

Xiaolan was already quite adept at this matter.

Even after calling 120, he didn't forget to dial 110 as well.

It wasn't until Aragaki Yu carried Kusano Kaoru out of the bathroom that the people who had been blocked outside the door realized what had happened.

To Conan and Yuu Aragaki's surprise, the most nervous person among them was actually Mr. Atsushi Makuma, who had been criticized by Kaoru Kusano earlier.

……

"It's Ms. Kusano Kaoru, she's 20 years old."

"The location is room number 1 on the 28th floor."

After Kusano Kaoru was taken away by an ambulance, Inspector Megure and Inspector Takagi, along with their subordinates, took the elevator to the 28th floor of the apartment building where the incident occurred.

Stepping out of the elevator, Inspector Megure looked around the apartment and suddenly remarked, "I never expected a 20-year-old girl to live alone in such a high-end apartment. Is she the daughter of some company owner?"

After determining the direction, Inspector Megure also headed towards Room 1.

Officer Takagi, who was following behind Inspector Megure, was surprised when he heard Megure's words. He looked at him with confusion and asked, "What, officer, don't you know she's from the Earth Ladies Team?"

“Earth… what was that again? What is that?” Inspector Megure stopped at the door of room number 1, pressed the doorbell, and turned to look at Inspector Takagi.

"Who is it?"

A slightly tense female voice came from the room.

Clearly, everyone was on edge because of the attack on Kusano Kaoru.

"We are the police!"

"Please come in."

After hearing Inspector Megure's words, the people in the room visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'm coming in now." The next second, Inspector Megure, who had just pushed open the door and entered the room, was also momentarily stunned to see the police officers greeting him in the entryway.

Because standing there were Yoko Okino, Yuki Takeno, and Terumi Hoshino, who hadn't had time to change back into their everyday clothes.

Seeing the three women's strange attire, Inspector Megure, who had assumed they were holding some kind of event, scratched his head sheepishly. "Sorry, it seems I probably went into the wrong room."

"Inspector Megure, you've finally arrived!" Just as Inspector Megure was about to leave and close the door, Kogoro Mouri and Ran suddenly appeared behind Yoko Okino and the others, excitedly greeting Inspector Megure.

"Huh?" Inspector Megure blinked blankly, first looking at Kogoro Mouri and Ran in the room, then at Yoko Okino and the other two. He was completely confused about the situation.

He just couldn't connect Kogoro Mouri with Yoko Okino and the other girls.

Meanwhile, Officer Takagi, who had caught a glimpse of the room from behind Inspector Megure, secretly turned around, clenched his fist, and excitedly muttered, "This room is full of big stars!"

Unlike Inspector Megure, Inspector Takagi had clearly already recognized the identities of the girls from the Earth Ladies Team.

However, because he didn't control his volume, he also earned a glare from Inspector Megure.
