The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Yu Aragaki took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID, but didn't show any surprise.

Judging by the time, Vodka should have finished explaining things to Gin by now.

"Hello, boss?"

Aragaki Yu's greeting caused Vermouth in the back seat to suddenly narrow her eyes and subconsciously hold her breath.

"Are you the person on the boat?"

Gin's tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Yuu Aragaki naturally understood the meaning behind Gin's seemingly random statement. She didn't show any nervousness or hesitation, and answered naturally, "It was me. Someone asked me to hang out, so I went."

For a boy his age, it's perfectly normal to love playing.

After Aragaki Yu finished speaking, Gin's voice did not come from the other end of the phone immediately.

However, Yuu Aragaki could tell that Gin had just taken a drag of his cigarette.

Sure enough, after a series of exhalations, Gin's voice came through the phone again, "What's going on with that detective brat?"

Gin's voice wasn't loud over the phone, but Vermouth in the back seat could hear it clearly in the cramped, enclosed space of the vehicle.

Upon hearing the word "detective," Vermouth visibly stiffened slightly, and an unnatural look flashed across her eyes.

More importantly, it turns out that Aragaki Yu was on that ship before.

Moreover, it seems that Gin was unaware of this at first.

Vermouth wasn't too surprised that Gin would investigate the Halloween party on the ghost ship.

After all, in order to lure Shinichi Kudo onto that ship, she had specifically signed her code name "Vermouth" on the invitation.

It's not surprising that Gin would take this matter seriously and conduct a private investigation after hearing about it.

Gin is extremely keen on having something to hold against him.

Chapter 632 More like a zombie!

"Detective brat?" Although he had expected Gin to call, Aragaki Yu still feigned surprise when faced with Gin's question. "Oh, you mean Shinichi Kudo?"

Gin didn't say anything on the other end of the phone, so Yuu Aragaki paused before continuing, "I just thought this guy hadn't been to school in a while, so I wanted to see if I could trick him into showing up!"

"..."

Gin on the other end of the phone took a deep drag of his cigarette and remained silent for a moment.

Vodka's reminder brought back his memory of how he had once used drugs to kill a high school detective kid.

I just didn't expect that kid to be Yuu Aragaki's classmate.

In that case, it's not surprising that Aragaki Yu didn't know that he had already killed Kudo Shinichi, so he would do something so pointless.

Haha, it would be a miracle if you could trick them out of that.

It's more like a zombie coming back to life!

"Don't do such pointless things in the future..." Gin hesitated for a moment, but still chose to speak up and warn Aragaki Yu.

This kind of thing is easy to cause misunderstandings, so it's best to do it less often.

At this moment, Gin seemed to remember something and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "And what do you think of Vermouth, that woman?"

Gin had already heard about Vermouth's and Aragaki Yu's past interactions.

He brought this up suddenly now partly because he wanted to see what kind of trouble Vermouth was up to on that ghost ship.

Secondly, it was also to remind Aragaki Yu that I had always been watching over him, and that he should not have any ulterior motives.

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yuu turned his head thoughtfully to look at Vermouth, who had been staring at him.

Vermouth didn't hide her actions and just looked at Aragaki Yu with a smile.

For a moment, the two of them stared at each other.

The next second, Aragaki Yuu suddenly nodded and, under Vermouth's puzzled gaze, said, "It's quite beautiful..."

Vermouth: "???"

Akemi Miyano: "???"

Vermouth, who had been smiling and waiting to see how Aragaki Yu would handle Gin's problem, suddenly twitched at the corner of her eye.

Ha ha.

If Vermouth hadn't known what kind of person Aragaki Yu was...

I almost believed his nonsense.

I knew you'd give a perfunctory answer, but I didn't know you'd also pretend to be stupid!

Even Akemi Miyano, who was driving the car, glanced at Yuu Aragaki beside her with a strange expression.

It's not just Vermouth and Akemi Miyano.

Aragaki Yu even heard a sudden screech of brakes coming from the phone.

Obviously, it must have been that guy, Vodka, who was stunned by the lightning, who accidentally stepped on the brake.

Gin, too, couldn't help but visibly bulge the veins on his forehead.

Of course, this was not due to vodka's mistake.

It's not his fault...

Even he almost crushed his phone in his hand.

Aragaki Yu noticed the silence on the other end of the phone.

In order to avoid giving his boss the urge to come after him with weapons, he was about to say something to add.

Gin's voice, which revealed neither joy nor anger, finally came through.

"If you don't want to die, I advise you to stay away from that woman. She's not as easy to talk to as I am!"

After saying that, Gin didn't give Aragaki Yu a chance to reply and decisively ended the call, feeling somewhat displeased.

Aragaki Yu: "..."

Belmode: "..."

Just as Aragaki Yu put away his phone, the two stared at each other for a while.

It was Aragaki Yu who spoke first, "You don't mean to kill me, do you?"

"Ha ha……"

Faced with Aragaki Yu's question, Vermouth, who clearly sensed the teasing undertone, rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

However, she quickly composed herself and returned to her initial nonchalant expression, saying, "I'll spare your life since you praised me."

However, before she could laugh for long, a look of pain appeared on her pale face again. "But if you don't hurry up, I'm going to die..."

……

More than ten minutes later.

Akemi Miyano and Yuu Aragaki finally brought Vermouth, who was in a semi-comatose state, back to her safe house.

Based on the clues Vermouth gave before she fainted, Yuya Aragaki easily found the first-aid kit in the safe house.

He and Akemi Miyano immediately provided first aid to Vermouth.

It has to be said that Vermouth's physique is indeed quite impressive.

Akemi Miyano had been carefully "on guard" against herself if it weren't for her overheard comment about Vermouth.

While helping Vermouth treat her wounds, Yuu Aragaki really wanted to take out his phone and take a few pictures.

It's a real shame that there are far fewer photos worth collecting.

Perhaps because the members of the organization had all received some training in first aid, Akemi Miyano was quite adept at treating wounds.

Therefore, this time, Yingcao, who was full of expectations, was not allowed to make a move.

Now, having been "unemployed" several times in a row, Yingcao silently squatted in a corner and sighed.

After confirming that Vermouth's condition had stabilized, Yuu Aragaki and Akemi Miyano turned and left the room, leaving her alone to rest.

Perhaps because Vermouth was still unconscious, Miyano Akemi stopped as soon as she stepped out of the room and looked at Aragaki Yu with a worried expression.

Clearly, she was very wary of Vermouth.

In particular, she also heard from Yuu Aragaki about Vermouth's previous comments.

However, before Miyano Akemi could speak, Aragaki Yu smiled and patted Miyano Akemi's shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry, Masami-nee, I know what I'm doing."

Akemi Miyano stared at Yuu Aragaki. Although she had heard what he said, she couldn't help but remind him, "That woman is really dangerous. Even if you save her this time, she could still deliver a fatal blow at any moment..."

At this point, Miyano Akemi, who already knew that Aragaki Yu was more or less involved with the organization, hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I hope you understand that there is no one kind and innocent in that organization. If possible, it's best not to have too much involvement with them."

Akemi Miyano knew that, given her status and position, she shouldn't have said these things to Yuu Aragaki.

She knew that if these words reached Gin's ears, she would be in serious trouble.

But facing Aragaki Yu, she couldn't help but warn him about this: "Before you show too much, you..."
