The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Yuu Aragaki followed Yukiko Kudo into the study, and after she turned on the desk lamp, he sat down in the chair next to her.

He turned around and looked around in confusion. He had not seen any trace of the firefly grass along the way.

Before I even entered the house, I had sent Yingcao to scout ahead, but she just lied and said "there's nothing unusual" and then disappeared somewhere.

However, given her personality, she's probably already off exploring some hidden corner of the world.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to catch up with you!" Yukiko Kudo leaned against her desk, smiling as she looked at Yuu Aragaki.

The Kudo family's study was located on the other side of the street, and the light from the desk lamp wasn't particularly bright either.

Therefore, she was not worried that anyone would notice this place.

"Hehe, if that's the case, I'll go back to sleep first." Aragaki Yu stood up from his chair, turned around, and made as if he was about to leave.

He didn't believe a single word of what Yukiko Kudo said.

"Huh? Wait a minute!" Noticing Yuma Aragaki's movement to leave, Yukiko Kudo also became anxious.

She jumped up from the table, stepped forward, and grabbed Aragaki Yu's arm, saying, "Little brother Aragaki, don't be so heartless! Actually, I have something I want to ask you for help with."

Yuu Aragaki stopped and turned to look at Yukiko Kudo, who had run up to him. "So..."

"Actually..." Kudo Yukiko knew that Aragaki Yu's statement about going back first was just a joke, so she playfully stuck out her tongue and slowly began to explain the whole story.

"..."

According to Yukiko Kudo, her son Shinichi Kudo seems to have recently gotten into some "minor" trouble.

As a result, there have been many people with ulterior motives deliberately appearing near their home these days.

Left with no other choice, Yukiko Kudo quietly returned to her home to investigate these suddenly appearing suspicious individuals.

After hearing what Yukiko Kudo said, Yuu Aragaki's expression turned somewhat strange. "So you want me to disguise myself as Yukiko Kudo and go to the event with you?"

"Yes!" Yukiko Kudo winked at Yuu Aragaki, deliberately putting on a pitiful expression as she pleaded with him, "Shin-chan is currently tied up with something, so I can only ask you for help. Please!"

Her words were half true and half false.

Actually, Yukiko Kudo originally planned to ask Heiji Hattori, the detective from Osaka, for help.

Firstly, Heiji Hattori is also part of the Black Organization, and secondly, he has some understanding of Shin-chan's transformation into Conan.

Secondly, his status as the son of the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief could also clearly demonstrate the other party's position.

However, when Yukiko Kudo's name, Yu Aragaki, flashed through her mind, she suddenly changed her mind.

Yukiko Kudo clearly remembered that Shin-chan had mentioned it at the Teitan High School school fair.

Yuu Aragaki also disguised himself as Shin-chan at one point.

Moreover, the costume was so realistic that it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

In that sense, Aragaki Yu does resemble his son somewhat, though he does appear to be a bit better looking.

babble...

Yukiko Kudo unconsciously swallowed.

Moreover, their heights are roughly the same.

In this respect, if someone needs to impersonate one's son, Aragaki Yu is indeed more suitable than Hattori Heiji.

After all, Heiji Hattori looks so dark-skinned, it would indeed be quite difficult for him to completely disguise himself as Shin-chan...

(Heiji Hattori: "Heh...")

Seeing Yukiko Kudo clinging to his arm and acting coquettishly, Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so he subconsciously pulled his arm away and took a half step back.

Good heavens, she wants me to pretend to be her son? How is that even possible?

Yukiko Kudo felt somewhat hurt by Yu Aragaki's action of taking a half-step back.

Of course, she also began to have a slight doubt about herself.

strangeness……

Has my charm with innocent young men diminished so much?

Little did she know, out of her sight, the Snow Woman, whom she had assumed was hiding in the Yin-Yang Domain out of fear, had angrily dragged out the Demon Sword Princess and other shikigami and glared fiercely at her.

hateful!

These women have ulterior motives!

"Achoo~"

Suddenly, Yukiko Kudo felt a chill run down her spine, and then she sneezed uncontrollably.

She rubbed her nose and looked around the study with some confusion.

Strange, what's going on? There's definitely no draft.

"Isn't this kind of impersonation a bit inappropriate?" Yuu Aragaki vaguely guessed what Yukiko Kudo was planning to do.

Of course, there's also Conan and all sorts of other characters around him.

The clash between Red and Black.

Yuu Aragaki knew that if he agreed to Yukiko Kudo's request, he would probably miss the confrontation between the FBI and the Black Organization.

Gee tut.

This is quite a drama involving Vermouth.

To be honest, for such a big scandal, Yuu Aragaki would really like to sneak off to a corner and watch the live broadcast.

"Please, little brother Aragaki, I'm begging you!"

Yukiko Kudo noticed the evasive look in Yuu Aragaki's eyes, so she immediately pleaded as well.

"But……"

"Just think of your sister as the client in the case. You can't just not help the client when they're in trouble!"

Before Aragaki Yu could finish his refusal, Kudo Yukiko's words made his eyes light up slightly.

At that moment, Yukiko Kudo suddenly remembered what Inspector Megure had said.

Although Yuu Aragaki is a very enthusiastic child, he seems to be particularly interested in the police's reward money.

They seem to be short of money.

However, Yukiko Kudo can understand this very well, after all, it is really not easy for a child to live alone in Japan.

So, she tentatively replied, "I have money!"

Aragaki Yu paused slightly, his eyes shining even brighter.

"The commission is five million yen..."

Aragaki Yu: "Mom!"

Yukiko Kudo: ∑(O_O；)

Yukiko Kudo was caught off guard by Aragaki Yu's sudden appearance.

She froze on the spot, momentarily at a loss for words.

The atmosphere in the study became somewhat awkward for a moment. Looking at Aragaki Yu's gleaming eyes, Kudo Yukiko hesitated for a moment before cautiously replying, "Huh?"

Chapter 619 Halloween Party (1)

After Aragaki Yu left, the smile that had been as bright as the spring sun on Kudo Yukiko's face seemed to be blown away by an invisible wind, and she gradually calmed down.

Although they finally managed to persuade Aragaki to help, there were still too many uncertainties in the whole plan.

One careless move and you lose everything.

Thinking of this, her eyes gradually became serious.

The next second, she slowly walked back to her desk, opened the drawer, and took out the invitation that Shin-chan had given her—

It was an invitation to Shinichi Kudo to a Halloween party that was out of sync with the seasons.

The reason it is said to be out of chronological order is precisely because Halloween, October 31st, has not yet arrived.

On the night of the full moon this month, there will be a terrifying banquet—a bloody party on a ship.

What's even more incomprehensible is what followed—

Whether you attend or not, the poor lamb about to die will curse its fate, and the sinner will be drunk before its death.

It was practically a death notice deliberately sent to lure the detective away.

Of course, if it were just that, Yukiko Kudo wouldn't have taken it so seriously.

After all, she had seen many more bizarre and terrifying notices while working with Yusaku Kudo.

What's truly worrying is that the invitation sent to Shin-chan, both the envelope and the invitation itself begin with "Shinichi Kudo," but the letter itself begins with "Dear Mr. Conan Edogawa."

That's right, it seems that the fact that Conan Edogawa is actually Shinichi Kudo has been revealed.

This includes the identity of the little girl who was taken in by Professor Agasa.

As for the other party's purpose in deliberately inviting Conan to the banquet, after discussing it with Shin-chan, they had a vague guess.
