The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Mr. Tota, just ignore this brat. Didn't you want to have a couple of drinks with me? I'm starving!"

The next second, Kogoro Mouri also put his arm around Mr. Tota's shoulder and walked towards the corridor. "The restaurant is in this direction, right? Let's hurry up and go!"

Conan: (?Д?) Damn it...

……

As for the commotion caused by Kogoro Mouri's arrival at the Aoi-ya Inn, Aragaki Yu and Vermouth, who had already left the inn, were completely unaware of it.

At this moment.

The moment Vermouth stepped out of the client's manor, the smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by an unfriendly gaze directed at Aragaki Yu.

Good heavens, what on earth possessed me to choose to run quests with Aragaki Yu?

Vermouth, who didn't believe in any yin-yang or ghost legends to begin with, was almost stunned by Aragaki Yu's various bizarre actions after experiencing this day.

I knew you were a fake Onmyoji, but I never expected you to be this ridiculously fake!

The key question is why there are still idiots who believe in you so steadfastly.

At this point, Vermouth had to start to question the intelligence of the people in Japan's upper class.

Ha ha……

Who would replace their compass with a mobile app?

They even went so far as to claim to the client that it was a modern, high-tech product of Yin-Yang magic.

The talismans sold to clients for hundreds of thousands of dollars each were actually printed an hour in advance at a nearby shop.

The crucial issue is that the incantation on the talisman was mistakenly printed as an emoji due to a printer malfunction.

Couldn't you just spend a few extra dollars to reprint a copy?

The wind during the exorcism was secretly blown by her using a hairdryer.

The will-o'-the-wisp summoned by the summoning was lit using a hidden lighter.

The voices of various wronged spirits were played using a Walkman.

Goodness, these actions almost left the unsuspecting Vermouth speechless on the spot.

Apart from the sudden chills that Vermouth couldn't see through during the exorcism, everything else was so fake that she almost dug a three-bedroom, two-living-room house out of her toes.

(Snow Woman: Hehe~)

The key point is that she had to pretend to be a mysterious and unfathomable assistant throughout the whole process.

I'm so tired, both mentally and physically!

Good grief, do you think you deserve your exorbitant appearance fee of ten million yen?

Not to mention they also sold millions of dollars worth of miscellaneous "scrap" to the clients.

You're making money easier than any organization!

The key point is that Yuuka Aragaki has always acted as if it were perfectly normal.

……

Of course, there's nothing that can be done about it.

If Vermouth wasn't by his side, Aragaki Yu wouldn't mind letting his shikigami put on some more elaborate and flashy performances.

Especially Yoto Hime, who even fought Vermouth face-to-face.

However, in order to prevent Vermouth from figuring out something, Yuya Aragaki had no choice but to come up with this modern scientific method of exorcism on the spot.

As for things like going against one's conscience and engaging in fraud, Aragaki Yu didn't feel guilty at all.

After all, he had already confirmed it after arriving at the client's house.

There was nothing unclean in the client's home; it was just that the client had made too much money through dishonest means, so he was a little paranoid.

(Vermouth: Money made against one's conscience? Hah, ptooey...)

……

Meanwhile, inside the Aoi-ya Inn.

Kogoro Mouri and Mr. Toda were already completely drunk in the restaurant.

No matter how hard they tried to shake Mr. Toda, they couldn't sober him up from his drunkenness.

"hateful!"

Left with no other choice, Conan could only mutter a curse under his breath and decide to think of other ways to find out about the bag.

beep--

beep - beep -

Twenty minutes later, while Ran was taking a shower, Conan secretly took Kogoro Mouri's cell phone out of his pocket.

"Hey?"

"Is this Officer Nakamura?"

"Hmm...!? Wait a minute, you wouldn't happen to be Mr. Mori, would you?!"

"Ahem, that's right, actually it's like this..."

In a corner of the Aoi-ya Inn, Conan used a voice changer with a ribbon to impersonate Kogoro Mouri and asked Inspector Nakamura about the suitcase.

"Well... Mr. Mori, listen to me!"

However, no sooner had Conan finished speaking than Officer Nakamura's tone on the other end of the phone changed instantly.

His voice, which had been full of energy, suddenly sounded panicked.

"Mr. Mori, I advise you to stay away from that suitcase!"

"Hmm?" Conan's eyes also became puzzled when he heard what Inspector Nakamura said.

At the same time, an ominous premonition settled in Conan's heart.

Could it be...

"That purse must be cursed by a vengeful spirit!"

"..."

As expected, Inspector Nakamura's words did not surprise Conan.

It turns out that the police left the Aoi-ya Ryokan the day before.

Due to the darkness and treacherous roads, a police officer driving a police car lost his sight and drove the car into a lake, where it sank completely.

The police officers inside the car managed to escape in time, but all the evidence placed inside was lost.

When the police car was pulled from the lake by the rescue team the next day, the bag and the newspaper inside had sunk to who-knows-where.

Because this handbag has been linked to two murder cases, it has now inexplicably caused a police officer to make a driving error and cause the car to plunge into the lake.

In addition, there's the long-standing legend of the "Head God Forest" that has been circulating in this area.

In the eyes of the Gunma Prefectural Police, this handbag was inevitably marked with an ominous sign.

Therefore, even though the bag was considered important evidence, no one took the initiative to bring up the matter of finding it.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Conan was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Chapter 647 Heaven... The angel has turned evil!?

Conan and Vermouth were both annoyed.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

"Hahaha, just as I thought, this is the kind of place to go on vacation!"

On a beach chair next to a large indoor swimming pool, Kogoro Mouri squinted at the girls in colorful swimsuits playing in the pool and couldn't help but sigh with delight at the boy lying on the beach chair next to him.

Upon hearing this, the boy lying next to Kogoro Mouri also woke up from his dozing in the sun. He took off his sunglasses, revealing a handsome face, and replied with a smile, "You're right, Mr. Mouri!"

And this boy was none other than Aragaki Yu, who had returned from Gunma Prefecture.

Yuu Aragaki was initially a little surprised to encounter Kogoro Mouri and his group at this place.

However, upon further reflection, I realized that Mr. Toda had given me two hotel vouchers for Karuizawa when I left the Aoi-ya Ryokan.

It's also possible that the invitations would be given to Kogoro Mouri and his party, who arrived a day later than him.

According to Mr. Toda, the hotel owner is a relative of his, and because they are currently holding an event to attract customers, they have prepared a lot of invitation tickets to give away.

Just as Aragaki Yu was thinking about these things, Mouri Kogoro, who was standing next to him, suddenly stared at the pool with a perverted expression, "Peaches, cantaloupe, cherries... Summer really is the perfect season for eating fruit!"

"Huh, fruit? Cherries?"

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu was slightly taken aback and subconsciously glanced to the side, following Kogoro Mouri's gaze.

Although he also liked to eat fruit, she always felt that Kogoro Mouri wasn't saying that.

Is this fruit really authentic?
