The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

This can be understood from Fujieda Soka's words.

Compared to the death of her husband, Mikio Fujieda, it seemed that paying the final installment of the commission fee was more difficult for her to accept.

Eri Kisaki showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, she pulled out a pre-prepared contract from her pocket.

"But when the contract was signed, it didn't specify that his life would be protected, did it?"

"And you also signed and stamped your consent."

Looking at the contract that Eri Kisaki had held up in front of her, Fujieda Suka's eyes twitched noticeably twice.

Even Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but glance at the contract in Eri Kisaki's hand.

Sure enough, it was written clearly in black and white.

As expected of a lawyer, it seems she had already thoroughly studied the contract her husband had signed.

Although she was tempted to renege on the final payment of the commission fee, the thought of the enormous inheritance she was about to receive made Fujieda Soka grit her teeth and hold back. "As long as I can get the inheritance left by Mikio, ten million is nothing."

Having resolved the mess left by her husband, the heavy weight that had been pressing on Eri's heart finally lifted.

After putting the contract back into her pocket, she didn't forget to remind Fujieda Suka: "By the way, before the inheritance procedures are finalized, all assets under Mr. Mikio's name will be frozen, so for now, you'll have to use your own assets to pay."

Upon hearing this, Fujieda Soka finally stood up from the sofa, saying in disbelief, "What? No way!"

"Even if you refuse to pay, I can still forcibly seize the property under your name! Do you want to do that?" Seeing Fujieda Suka's face change drastically, Eri Kisaki's smile became somewhat brighter.

Rather than describing it as brilliant, it's more accurate to describe it as "kind."

Although Yuu Aragaki thinks that Eri Kisaki's smile is very beautiful.

However, Eri Kisaki's expression sent a chill down Mrs. Fujieda's spine.

So...so scary...

"Wow, that's amazing..." Even Conan's eyes twitched slightly at the sight of Eri Kisaki's performance, as if he was recalling the fear he felt when facing Ran's mother.

……

Shortly after the police took Mr. Ueki Kusahachi away from the villa, Mr. Fujieda Mikio's medical orders were also made public.

My estate will not be left to those who could not protect my life; it will all be donated to the state for its disposal.

Upon learning of this, Mrs. Fujieda was completely stunned and collapsed to the ground.

Unexpectedly, after her husband, Fujieda Mikio, died, she not only received nothing, but also had to pay out ten million yen in commission fees.

It's over, it's all over now!

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Aragaki Yu and the others anymore.

Because it was getting late.

After glancing at Fujieda Suka, who was standing next to him in a daze and unable to speak, Fujieda Shigeru took the initiative to invite Aragaki Yu and the others to stay for the night.

Although this place isn't particularly remote, it's still quite a distance to get back to Beika Town.

In addition, the forest outside looked gloomy, and at Xiaolan's strong suggestion, everyone agreed to stay overnight at the villa.

Fujieda Shigeru has always had a very good relationship with his sister.

He disliked Fujieda Mikio, the pretty boy who married into the family, from the very beginning.

Therefore, he was not particularly saddened by the death of Fujieda Mikio. Instead, he was deeply saddened by the fact that his butler, Ueki Kusahachi, who had always taken good care of him, had committed murder and been taken away by the police.

After arranging rooms for everyone, Fujieda Shigeru took over the work that originally belonged to the butler, Ueki Kusahachi, and let the somewhat bewildered servants prepare meals for the guests.

Because so much had happened tonight, dinner had to be simple, but it was still quite good for the hungry group.

After a quick dinner, Fujieda Shigeru and Fujieda Soka, who had finally come to their senses, returned to their room.

After all, they all need some time to process their feelings following such an event.

As guests, Aragaki Yu and the others naturally couldn't linger outside any longer, so they also returned to their own rooms.

However, just after Aragaki Yu finished washing up, there was a knock on his door.

The knocking on the door sounded very urgent, as if the visitor had something very important to say.

When Aragaki Yu opened the door, he saw Conan standing at his door with a strange expression. After he entered the room, Conan stammered as if he wanted to ask something but didn't know how to start.

Actually, Yuu Aragaki wasn't too surprised that Conan would come to his room.

Firstly, Conan had no involvement in the previous incidents, so he naturally harbored a lot of resentment.

Secondly, he would definitely wonder why he and his mother had come to this place together.

After all, he's not a child anymore, so it's normal for him to worry about his father, Yusaku Kudo.

(Yusaku Kudo: "Achoo~")

Of course, Conan doesn't distrust his mother, nor does he distrust Aragaki Yu.

However, he felt that his mother's purpose in coming back this time was not so simple.

After all, this wasn't the first time he'd been tricked by Yukiko Kudo.

The last time his mother "kidnapped" him, it really scared him half to death.

Chapter 601 Kogoro Mouri's Choice Between Life and Death! (1)

Unfortunately, it wasn't until the early hours of the next day.

Conan still didn't have a chance to ask Aragaki Yu.

Not long after Conan entered Aragaki Yu's room, there was another knock on the door from the outside.

Who's outside the door?!

What Conan couldn't understand was that, in the following days, his mother, Aunt Eri Kisaki, and even Ran all found their way to Yuu Aragaki's room.

When Conan noticed Ran running into Aragaki Yu's room late at night, he gritted his teeth and glared at Aragaki Yu.

"hateful!"

……

After saying goodbye to Fujieda Shigeru, everyone got into separate cars driven by Kudo Yukiko and Kisaki Eri and returned to the Mouri Detective Agency.

However, just as everyone opened the door and entered the office, they found that Kogoro Mouri seemed to have heard the sound of the door lock and hurriedly sat down behind the desk, looking very nervous.

"Ahem, Ran, Eri, you're back!" Kogoro Mouri cleared his throat, looking at Ran and Eri who were the first to walk into the house.

Upon noticing Yukiko Kudo and Yu Aragaki walking in behind Eri Kisaki, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and greeted them, "Oh, isn't this Yukiko and Yu Aragaki? What brings you here?"

Although Kogoro Mouri was greeting them.

What's puzzling is that he remained seated behind his desk, showing no intention of getting up to greet her.

As the host, this actually seems a bit impolite.

However, perhaps because everyone was quite familiar with them, no one took this to heart.

After all, Kogoro Mouri usually acts like he's carefree and doesn't take these kinds of things seriously.

"Mr. Mori, it's been a long time." Aragaki Yu greeted him as he walked into the office.

However, as he walked into the office, he subconsciously sniffed.

Because he could clearly smell an unpleasant odor permeating the office.

This smell...

Yuu Aragaki narrowed his eyes and looked at Kogoro Mouri with a strange expression.

Kogoro Mouri seemed to notice Yu Aragaki's twitching nose, and looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Come here, honey."

At the same time, Eri Kisaki walked to the desk, smiled, and placed the envelope on it. "This is the 1,943,000 yen left after deducting your loan. You should thank me properly!"

"I will."

Kogoro Mouri awkwardly accepted the envelope from the table, but his face didn't show much surprise.

Just as if he didn't care about the money at all.

"Can you smell anything?" At the same time, Eri Kisaki finally noticed the unusual smell in the air and looked curiously at Yukiko Kudo, who had walked up to her.

Do you have any pets?

Upon hearing Yukiko Kudo's words, Yukiko Kudo turned her head and looked around the agency in confusion.

She seemed to have smelled this scent in the homes of many pet owners.

"Ha ha……"

In an instant, Kogoro Mouri broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained to them, "No, it was the dog that the client brought this morning that did it!"

He didn't notice that Conan, who had somehow gotten behind him, looked at his obviously changed pants and had an "I see" expression on his face.

That makes sense, considering that Uncle Mori was tied tightly to the sofa with rope by Attorney Ki yesterday.

Although we don't know how my uncle finally escaped, judging from the current situation, he definitely has some unpleasant memories.

Of course, it's not just Conan.
