The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

This completely blocked his path forward.

"Kudo! What are you doing?!"

The situation was critical, and Heiji Hattori whispered to Conan, who was standing in front of him, trying to keep his voice down.

At this moment, he was also quite anxious. Although he didn't know what was wrong with Kudo, he knew that if he waited for Mr. Kasuya's helper to arrive, it would be too late.

However, unlike Heiji Hattori's anxious appearance, Conan showed no sign of tension. Instead, he shook his head at Heiji Hattori with a strange expression.

"Ok?"

Even Hattori Heiji noticed that something was wrong.

Kudo's expression suggested that he had everything under control.

Combined with his illogical behavior just now.

Wait a minute, could it be...!?

Just as Hattori Heiji was putting his thoughts into speculation...

The sound of footsteps echoing through the factory was getting closer and closer.

Finally, a figure emerged faintly from the darkness in their field of vision.

"Why are you guys so slow!"

Looking at the indistinct figures in the darkness, Mr. Kasuya complained somewhat discontentedly.

"And why are you the only one here? Where did the others go... Wait a minute, how come it's you? Where are my men?!"

In that instant, Mr. Kasuya's voice suddenly rose a notch, and his tone was filled with shock.

He stared in disbelief at the figure that appeared in front of him, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Aragaki!?"

Even Hattori Heiji seemed somewhat surprised after seeing who it was.

He had initially thought the visitor would be Mr. Kasaya's helper, but he never expected it to be Aragaki Yu, whom he had long forgotten.

This time, Hattori Heiji was both surprised and delighted.

Chapter 578 Bait

"You...who are you!"

As the boy continued to approach him step by step, Mr. Kasuya suddenly became nervous.

"I am a good person."

Facing Aragaki Yu, Mr. Kasuya also stared wide-eyed, but his eyes were full of confusion.

nice guy?

He wasn't asking such trivial questions.

"Damn it, where are my men?" Mr. Kasuya frowned and looked around.

He still doesn't quite understand what happened.

Why did all his men suddenly go silent, while this young man ran up from below?

"Oh." Just then, Aragaki Yu gave a soft "oh" in response to his question, "If you're asking about that group of guys who've been sneaking around following those two..."

The two people Aragaki Yu was referring to were naturally Hattori Heiji and Conan.

"I'm really sorry, but I think they probably won't be able to get out."

"What... what do you mean?" Mr. Kasuya looked at Aragaki Yu with suspicion, not quite understanding the meaning behind his words.

"I'm really sorry to say, but those people were looking at me with such menacing expressions that I got so scared that I accidentally knocked them all out!"

Although he said that, Aragaki Yu didn't sound embarrassed at all.

A playful expression even appeared on his face.

"what!"

Mr. Bad House was surprised.

Upon hearing what Aragaki Yu said, not only Mr. Kasuya, but even Hattori Heiji was taken aback.

They even missed the chance to retaliate while Mr. Kashiwa was distracted.

However, someone eventually seized the opportunity.

Just as Mr. Kasaya was staring in astonishment, unable to calm down for a long time, a figure suddenly flashed across the ceiling and landed beside him as if descending from the sky.

"you……!?"

Startled, Mr. Kashiwa finally came to his senses, but before he could react, the figure grabbed his wrist holding the gun and pressed him to the ground.

"Dad...Dad!?" Hattori Heiji exclaimed instinctively when he saw the figure jumping down from the ceiling.

"Ah, you, you don't play Hattori Heizo?!" It wasn't until this moment that Mr. Kasuya realized what was happening, his tone filled with disbelief.

Even if you've had plastic surgery to remove the appearance you had thirteen years ago, your voice and your personality seem to remain unchanged!

Hattori Heizo glanced at his bewildered son behind him before turning his gaze to Mr. Kasaya, whom he had pinned to the ground.

"what!?"

"I am now formally indicting you on charges of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, attempted murder, and five counts of robbery and murder committed thirteen years ago to cover up your treasure hunt!"

No sooner had Hattori Heizo finished speaking than several fully armed police officers rushed up from the first floor of the factory and took Mr. Kazaya into custody from Hattori Heizo's men.

"Robbery, a robber murders?! What are you talking about?!"

Although he had already realized that something was wrong, Mr. Kasuya continued to play dumb.

"You don't need to pretend anymore!"

This time, however, there was no need to wait for Hattori Heizo's reply.

"In fact, the police had already obtained your voice recorded by the victim on the answering machine, as well as the fingerprints you left when you hung up the phone, for comparison."

Along with this reply, Ginjiro Toyama also emerged from the darkness.

"!!!"

After hearing these words, Mr. Kasuya finally realized his situation.

This time, we're probably really doomed.

Even at this point, Hattori Heiji, filled with doubt and shock, could only stand aside in a daze.

"What...what's going on?!"

He didn't even have to help in any way before the problem was solved.

……

"Conan... what's going on here?!"

After the police escorted Mr. Kasaya and all his men, who had been knocked unconscious by Aragaki Yu, out of the factory.

Hattori Heiji finally realized that something was wrong.

No wonder Kudo disappeared for so long and did so many strange things after he came back.

It seems he already knew that Aragaki Yu and his father were also in this factory!

So, during that entire period, I was the only one kept in the dark, and I was incredibly nervous.

Hattori Heiji was also somewhat exasperated at this thought.

Faced with Hattori Heiji's mournful expression, Conan could only offer a forced smile and explain everything.

It turns out that Conan and Heiji Hattori had followed Mr. Kashiya and sneaked into the factory together.

Conan, who was behind Heiji Hattori, was suddenly grabbed by someone who covered his mouth and pulled him up as he rounded a corner in the darkness. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

He could only watch helplessly as the oblivious Hattori Heiji followed Mr. Kasaya further and further away.

Just as Conan, struggling, finally managed to touch the watch on his wrist and was about to use the tranquilizer gun to take care of the person who had captured him, a familiar voice instantly made him abandon the idea.

"Conan, be quiet, it's me!"

After speaking, the figure that had grabbed Conan immediately put him back on the ground.

Only then, with the help of the flashlight on his watch, did Conan finally recognize the owner of that familiar voice.

The guy who caught him was none other than Yuu Aragaki, who had gone to look for his wallet earlier because he had left it at the restaurant.

Good heavens, who would look for their wallet in a place like this?

Conan didn't think Ran and Kazuha would have dinner at this kind of "restaurant" with Aragaki Yu.

No wonder I thought it was weird that Aragaki Yu forgot about his wallet; it was just an excuse to leave!

It seems that Yuu Aragaki had already discovered that something was wrong with Mr. Kasaya or Mr. Kyosaka, which is why he investigated this place.

But why did Aragaki Yu choose to investigate just one person?

Do you really think that you and Hattori Heiji are a burden?
