The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Chapter 525 Death God Kogoro

Twenty minutes later.

"I see, now I'll confirm it again!"

Inspector Megure glanced around the room at everyone, and when he saw Kogoro Mouri winking at him, he felt a headache coming on.

Why is it that wherever this guy appears, a case always seems to occur there?

In that instant, a dangerous thought also arose in Inspector Megure's mind—

If Kogoro Mouri were sent to prison, wouldn't there be half as many cases in all of Japan?

As for the other half...

That's right, the responsibility probably lies with that elusive Kudo guy!

"Achoo~"

Conan, who was standing nearby, suddenly sneezed. He subconsciously rubbed his nose and looked around blankly.

It’s weird.

There are no doors or windows to look out from here.

It wasn't until Conan's sneeze drew his attention and he saw Yuu Aragaki standing next to Conan that Inspector Megure's mood calmed down a little.

Looking back now, it seems that my friend Aragaki is still the most trustworthy and reliable.

But just as he thought of this, Inspector Megure's brows furrowed unconsciously again.

Because he discovered in horror—

It seems that Aragaki has been appearing at crime scenes more and more frequently lately.

No!

In that instant, Inspector Megure made up his mind.

I must warn my brother Aragaki to stay away from the Mori family. I absolutely cannot let such a good brother get involved with anything unclean with them!

(Yuki-onna: "Aaaaaah~ Achoo~")

"..."

After noticing Inspector Megure's unpredictable expression, everyone became increasingly anxious.

Even Aragaki Yu was somewhat terrified by the strange look that kept flashing at him.

If he hadn't known that Inspector Megure had a beautiful wife, he might have suspected that Inspector Megure had ulterior motives towards him.

"Officer Megure?"

"what!?"

With Officer Takagi's voice reminding him from behind, Inspector Megure quickly came to his senses.

"Cough cough..."

Amidst the somewhat strange looks from the crowd, Inspector Megure coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, before continuing what he had said earlier.

"The three of you are here today to celebrate Ms. Kusano Kaoru's engagement, and to give her a surprise, you took turns changing into the bedroom while she was taking a shower, right?"

Although no names were mentioned, everyone knew that Inspector Megure's question was directed at Yoko Okino and the other two, who had already changed back into civilian clothes.

"The order is Ms. Yoko Okino, Ms. Yuki Takeno, and Ms. Megumi Hoshino, right?"

Yoko Okino and the other two nodded.

"So, just as you finished changing, Ms. Hoshino, you happened to see your friend Aragaki going to the restroom. Then, as you passed by the bathroom, you noticed something was wrong," Inspector Megure continued.

“Yes.” Yuu Aragaki stepped forward and walked up to Inspector Megure. “When I passed by the bathroom door, I suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood, and there was no sound coming from inside the bathroom. It’s impossible that someone was taking a shower in there.”

"Hmm." Inspector Megure nodded, showing no doubt about what Aragaki Yu said.

"Then, just as you and Ms. Hoshino Terumi were calling for Ms. Kusano Kaoru in the bathroom, everyone else who was originally in the living room also ran out."

Inspector Megure then looked at Conan and Kensuke Osamu and asked, "Finally, because they hadn't received a response from Ms. Kusano Kaoru, Ms. Kusano Kaoru's fiancé, Mr. Kensuke Osamu, and Conan rushed into the bathroom and found her lying unconscious next to the bathtub with blood flowing from her neck, right?"

“Yes.” Jian Qixiu nodded, his face pale.

"Next up is this guy who brings misfortune wherever he appears..."

Finally, Inspector Megure's gaze fell unceremoniously on Kogoro Mouri.

His expression showed great dissatisfaction.

After all, who wouldn't want to stay home and get some rest late at night?

As a result, because of this guy, I was forced to come out and work overtime again.

"You're making me sound like a plague god!" After a long pause, Kogoro Mouri, realizing that Inspector Megure was talking about him, scratched the back of his head and awkwardly explained, "I just happened to be here because Ms. Yoko invited me."

"I don't think it's a coincidence at all! It's more like a curse!" Inspector Megure glared at him and retorted.

He just couldn't understand why so many people wouldn't believe in superstitions and wanted to invite this Grim Reaper into their homes.

Thinking of this, and suddenly recalling Kogoro Mouri's unreliable nature, Inspector Megure's eyes suddenly became suspicious.

Without much hesitation, Inspector Megure, seeing Kogoro Mouri's puzzled expression, suddenly turned to Yoko Okino and warned, "Ms. Yoko, if you have been threatened by this guy, please be sure to tell us, the police!"

Mouri Kogoro: "!!!"

Yoko Okino: "Uh..."

Hearing Inspector Megure's words, Yoko Okino, who was involved, was also stunned.

However, she quickly realized from Inspector Megure's expression that he was merely complaining about his dissatisfaction with Mr. Mori.

However, while Inspector Megure can make jokes about Mr. Mori like that, it's not appropriate for her to do so.

Therefore, she could only awkwardly laugh and explain, "Haha, officer, that's not true. I really did invite Mr. Mori and Mr. Aragaki to come here as guests, because Kaoru really wanted to meet these two famous detectives!"

"Speaking of which..."

At this moment, in order to ease Mr. Mori's embarrassment, Officer Takagi quickly interjected to change the subject, "Where is Ms. Kusano Kaoru now?"

"Miss Kusano has been taken to Beika Hospital by ambulance," Ran explained to Officer Takagi. "Mr. Makoma went with the ambulance, but he hasn't contacted us yet, so we don't know how he is now."

"I see." Officer Takagi nodded.

No wonder they saw an ambulance returning home when they arrived; it must have been the ambulance Xiaolan was talking about.

"Ah Xun...you can't die..."

Upon hearing Xiaolan mention this, everyone's expressions immediately turned sorrowful.

Yoko Okino was so saddened that she burst into tears.

Chapter 526 The suspect is Aragaki Yu!

"In that case, I'll go make a call to the hospital." Hoshino Terumi patted Okino Yoko's shoulder to comfort her before turning and walking towards the room with the telephone.

“Then I’ll go with you. My dad is being treated for diabetes at that hospital right now, and I know their phone number.”

Seeing this, Yueye Xue quickly followed in Hoshino Terumi's footsteps.

"Really? That's much faster!"

Hoshino Terumi was more than happy to accept this, as it would save her a lot of effort.

……

Noticing that there were fewer people around her, Miyano Akemi, who had been silently staying in the corner, slowly moved to Aragaki Yu's side and gently patted his shoulder, "Aragaki-nii-chan."

"Hmm?" Yuu Aragaki turned to look at Akemi Miyano, only to see a worried expression on her face. "Is something the matter?"

"Is it really alright for Mr. Makuma Atsushi to accompany Ms. Kusano Kaoru to the hospital?"

Akemi Miyano subtly glanced around, and only after confirming that no one was paying attention to her did she continue in a low voice, "It's not that I doubt Mr. Masaki, but don't you think the atmosphere between Mr. Kensaki, Ms. Kusano, and Mr. Masaki seems a little strange?"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Miyano Akemi with great interest.

To be honest, he wasn't surprised at all that Miyano Akemi could see this.

After all, in terms of age, her experience is far greater than that of the others here.

Of course, this excludes Kogoro Mouri, who is either genuinely stupid or pretending to be.

"Although I couldn't see it very clearly, I noticed that Mr. Kensuke seemed a bit reserved when he was in front of Ms. Kusano Kaoru, and he also seemed a bit hesitant when he went to rescue her in the bathroom when she was naked."

Miyano Akemi stroked her chin and continued to analyze the situation at the time, "On the contrary, Mr. Makoto, after learning that Ms. Kusano Kaoru was injured, rushed to Ms. Kusano Kaoru, who was wrapped in a bath towel and carried out by you, and even took Ms. Kusano Kaoru from your arms and took the initiative to accompany her to the hospital."

"Anything else?" Aragaki Yu looked at Miyano Akemi, also curious about how much she had figured out.

As one of the parties involved, he was naturally aware of what Miyano Akemi had said above.

“And also…” Miyano Akemi hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly, “And when Ms. Kusano was criticizing Mr. Masakiku, I felt it was somewhat like a girl’s feeling of disappointment and frustration towards her lover…”

Aragaki Yu nodded.

He didn't seem to feel anything about that.

Let alone this life, even in his past life, he was just a single dog.

How could anyone know what a girl is thinking?
