The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Wait a minute, what's going on?" Eri Kisaki frowned upon seeing this, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

"Could it be that someone is in that room with a gun?!" Yukiko Kudo immediately thought of this possibility.

However, her guess was immediately refuted by the butler, Mr. Ueki Kusahachi, who said, "It's impossible for that to happen. I was the one who brought the coffee in, and I made sure that I locked the door from the inside when I came out of the room."

At this moment, Aragaki Yu, who was standing to the side, raised his eyebrows as he looked at the surveillance footage.

Although the monitor angle only showed Mr. Fujieda Mikio's back, it also showed what was in front of him.

But from his back, he didn't seem to be nervous or panicked.

Rather than saying he was threatened by someone and raised his hands, it looked more like he was stretching.

However, just as he turned to look at Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki to explain this,

Mrs. Fujieda, who had just approached, suddenly screamed, "How could he have been shot!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu was momentarily stunned, instinctively swallowing back the words he was about to say.

When he looked back at the surveillance footage, he saw that Mr. Fujieda Mikio had fallen to the floor without any warning.

It stopped moving completely.

In the monitoring room, the people who witnessed this scene were visibly taken aback.

And Conan was the first to rush out of the room without a second thought.

While looking at the layout of the villa, he had already memorized the location of the media room.

As Eri Kisaki turned to head outside, she also looked at the butler, Kusahachi Ueki, who was frozen in place, and asked, "Where is the spare key to that room?"

"Oh... in my room." Ueki Kusahachi, somewhat flustered, paused for a moment before hurriedly replying.

"Go get the key right now!" Kudo Yukiko solemnly instructed the butler, Ueki Kusahachi, before immediately following Kisaki Eri out of the room.

"Then I'll take responsibility for calling the police!" Fujieda Suka, who had finally stopped screaming, said very proactively.

"And don't forget to call an ambulance!"

At this moment, Yuya Aragaki quickly scanned all the surveillance footage on the screen and confirmed that no suspicious figures had been captured.

So, after reminding Fujieda Suka to call an ambulance, he and Ran jogged out of the monitoring room, chasing after Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo towards the audiovisual room.

However, just as they were jogging down the corridor past Fujieda Shigeru's room...

Fujiie Shigeru, who was inside the room, seemed to have been startled by the noise in the hallway. She opened the door and came out looking bewildered. "Huh? What happened?"

……

After Xiaolan and Fujie gave a brief explanation of what had just happened,

"Brother-in-law Ganxiong!"

"Hey, are you alright, brother-in-law Ganxiong!"

Somewhat anxious, Fujishige also started banging on the door of the audiovisual room.

However, there was no response from inside the room.

Upon seeing this scene, Yukiko Kudo instinctively looked at Yuuki Aragaki and her son, thinking, "This is bad!"

“But…” Fujieda Shigeru seemed to still have a slight doubt about this point, “Are you really sure that Brother-in-law Mikio is lying on the ground?”

“Yes, right after he raised his hands!” Eri Kisaki nodded in confirmation.

boom!

boom!

However, at that very moment, two gunshots rang out from the audiovisual room.

"Yes, there were gunshots!" Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo both looked toward the door at the same time.

Fujieda Shigeru, who had been somewhat skeptical, immediately grabbed the doorknob and frantically pulled, trying to open the door.

But just as the butler, Mr. Ueki Kusahachi, had said, the door was locked from the inside.

Normally, at this point, we would have to wait for the butler, Ueki Kōhachi, to bring over the keys to the audiovisual room.

However, since everyone had just heard gunshots coming from the room, they had no choice but to take special measures in this emergency.

Therefore, Eri Kisaki subconsciously looked in the direction of her daughter, "Ran, I'm entrusting her to you!"

"Oh, what do you need to ask her for a favor?"

Fujieda Shigeru, who had tried for a long time but failed to open the door, seemed somewhat puzzled by Eri's words.

However, before he could react, he was suddenly pulled away from the doorway of the audiovisual room by Aragaki Yu, who said, "Get out of the way, or you might get hurt..."

Are you prone to injury?

Just as Fujie Shige was being pulled away by Aragaki Yu in a daze.

Xiaolan took a stance and took a deep breath.

Then, with a loud shout from Xiaolan, she cleanly and swiftly executed a spinning side kick.

Amidst Fujiie Shigeru's horrified expression, the thick room door was kicked open by Ran.

Violent, yet elegant.

At this moment, at the end of the corridor.

The butler, Mr. Ueki Kusahachi, also came running over breathlessly, carrying a spare key. "Huff, huff, the key, the key is here!"

Chapter 594: They're all old acquaintances.

Plant Grass Eight: ∑(O_O；)

What kind of situation is this?

Not only was the door to the audiovisual room opened, but it could even be said that it had been completely separated from the door frame.

Seeing the door that had clearly been opened by abnormal means, he stood there stunned, blinking his eyes in confusion.

Good grief, so why make me go get the keys?

What's the point?

Where is the law of heaven?

While the butler, Ueki Kusahachi, was still standing there bewildered, the others had already rushed into the audiovisual room.

However, the thing everyone feared still happened.

Conan, who was squatting next to Fujieda Mikio, withdrew his hand from checking the other's pulse and shook his head regretfully at Aragaki Yu and the others.

Mr. Fujieda Mikio, who was lying on the ground, had already passed away.

……

Not long after, the police arrived at the scene of the crime.

As expected, the police officer leading the team this time was none other than Inspector Megure, a familiar face to everyone.

As the forensic team examined the crime scene, Inspector Megure was somewhat surprised to see the people in the room.

Goodness, these are all old acquaintances.

"Isn't this my brother Aragaki?"

"And Ms. Kisaki and Ms. Yukiko, is there something you two have done together here?"

"Wait a minute, Ran and Conan, you're here too!"

Inspector Megure, who was initially somewhat surprised, showed an "I see" expression after noticing Conan, the little rascal.

Given that this brat is here, it wouldn't be surprising if a murder occurred.

In this short moment.

Inspector Megure's expression changed several times.

There was surprise, astonishment, suspicion, and disdain...

"To be honest, I'm here to investigate a case on behalf of my husband."

Eri Kisaki was naturally familiar with Inspector Megure, so she immediately stepped forward to explain the situation to him.

"The purpose of the commission was to find out who was threatening the life of the owner of this house, Mr. Fujieda Mikio."

"But how do you know that the person threatening his life is someone in this house?" Inspector Megure asked, echoing Eri's question.

"I heard that the note threatening Mr. Ganxiong was placed under his pillow in his bedroom. The contents were two notes: 'Watch out for your back' and 'I will send you to the Western Paradise,' along with a used bullet."

Eri Kisaki crossed her arms and explained the relevant clues to Inspector Megure.

"The only people who live in this house can do this."

"Well, you're right!"

After listening to Eri Kisaki's explanation, Inspector Megure nodded in agreement.

From this perspective, Eri Kisaki's words do indeed make a lot of sense.
