The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

So embarrassing...

"Of course it's you!" At this moment, Kenzo Shiozawa roared angrily at Kogoro Mouri, "Who else could it be but you?"

Clearly, he couldn't accept that Ritsuko Usui, whom he had just been drinking with, had suddenly died in the room.

Moreover, judging from the scene, the only possible culprit is Kogoro Mouri.

Chapter 654 The murderer is actually Kogoro Mouri (2)

At the same time, Yuji Mikasa seemed convinced that Kogoro Mouri was the murderer, and he angrily asked, "Why did you kill her?"

Kogoro Mouri was still in a daze.

Xiao Lan, who was standing nearby, became anxious. "Please wait a minute! There must be some misunderstanding. How could my father kill someone?"

As she spoke, she glanced at her mother, hoping for her support, "Right, Mom?"

"According to Article 199 of the Criminal Law, a murderer shall be sentenced to life imprisonment or imprisonment for a term of not less than three years, otherwise..."

Upon hearing Ran's words, Eri Kisaki, who was squatting beside Ritsuko Usui's body, stood up and looked at Kogoro Mouri with a very serious expression. "Death penalty!"

Kogoro Mouri was clearly taken aback by Eri Kisaki's attitude. He was still somewhat confused, but after hearing the word "death penalty," his eyes widened even more. "Wh...what!?"

"Mother!?"

Xiao Lan, standing to the side, clearly couldn't accept her mother's attitude.

"Ran, what are you standing there for? Go call the police!" However, Eri Kisaki only urged Ran.

Xiaolan: "Mom..."

"Based on the situation at the scene, Mr. Mori is indeed the most suspicious person."

Amidst Ran and Conan's incredulous gazes, Yuu Aragaki slowly spoke.

Even Eri Kisaki and Vermouth showed a slight look of surprise at his statement.

However, the next second, Aragaki Yu suddenly changed the subject, "If there really is any evidence that can prove Mr. Mori is not the murderer, I think we should ask the police to come and collect evidence as soon as possible. If we delay, it would be bad if the real murderer finds out..."

Before Aragaki Yu could finish speaking, Ran hurriedly pulled her phone out of her bag.

……

Meanwhile, Conan had already begun darting around the room, observing the situation.

Normally, Kogoro Mouri and Ran would stop him.

This time, because Kogoro Mouri became a suspect, and Ran was therefore unable to pay attention to Conan, Conan's actions became incredibly smooth.

Vermouth slowly walked to Ran's side, put her arm around Ran's shoulder to comfort her, and glanced with interest at Conan, the "naughty kid" who was jumping around in the room.

……

More than ten minutes later, the police rushed to the scene because of the murder.

To Aragaki Yu's surprise, this time he met the eccentric police officer Yamamura Misao from Gunma Prefecture.

After understanding the situation at the scene, Officer Yamamura confirmed to Eri Kisaki, "After you discovered that your husband was missing, you suspected that he might be in this guest room, so you called his cell phone number from the door, and as you expected, the phone rang from the room."

Then, he pointed to the chain lock on the door next to him, "After the waiter opened the door with the spare key, he found that the door was locked with a chain lock, and you could see the dead body lying on the floor through the crack in the door."

"After you broke down the door and entered the room, you found that the woman had been dead for some time. Then you found your husband lying on the bed in this room, right?"

“Yes.” Eri Kisaki nodded.

Upon seeing this, Officer Yamamura scratched his head with his pen and said regretfully, "In that case, it seems the murderer is probably your husband..."

"What? How could this be?"

When Xiaolan heard what Officer Yamamura said, she immediately became anxious and turned to Kogoro Mouri, who was standing to the side, and said, "Dad, don't just stand there, say something!"

"Huh? What's this?" Officer Yamamura followed Ran's gaze, but was taken aback when he saw Kogoro Mouri. "Could it be that you are the famous detective Kogoro Mouri?"

"Ah? Yes, that's me..." Kogoro Mouri nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Conan, who was in the room, was startled when he heard what Officer Yamamura said.

You know, not long ago at the Aoi-ya Ryokan, when I impersonated my uncle and called the police, it seems that I called this officer.

If the other party exposes us, that would be really bad!

Fortunately, the village police officer had no idea about this at all.

"Great!"

He instantly transformed into a devoted fan of Kogoro Mouri, excitedly approaching him and saying, "Oh, with a great detective like you here, I feel much more at ease. Please tell me your opinion on this matter!"

At the same time, Eri Kisaki glanced sideways at Kogoro Mouri and said sarcastically, "That's right, just tell him exactly what happened at the time of the incident, the famous detective who was just lying on this bed and fast asleep..."

"Huh? Oh, right..."

Upon hearing Eri's words, Officer Yamamura paused, then looked at her blankly, then at Kogoro Mouri, and back at Eri again. Only then did he suddenly realize, "Your husband is Mr. Mouri? But, isn't this..."

As his gaze finally settled on Kogoro Mouri, Inspector Yamamura exclaimed in shock, "Then, so you're the murderer? No way, how can that be... How are we supposed to deduce anything about the sleeping Kogoro?"

"How should I know!" Kogoro Mouri, already in a bad mood, finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted back at the oblivious police officer in front of him.

Unlike the somewhat confused Officer Yamamura, the officer next to him stepped forward and reminded him, "Officer Yamamura, given the situation, shouldn't we ask Mr. Mori to come to the police station as a person involved in the case?"

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, Officer Yamamura hesitated for a moment before looking at Kogoro Mouri, "If Mr. Mouri doesn't object..."

Kogoro Mouri, who was familiar with this as a normal police procedure, naturally had no way to object.

"Dad..." Xiaolan was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Meanwhile, Vermouth, who was comforting Ran, couldn't help but glare at Aragaki Yu, signaling him to hurry up and think of a solution to the problem.

She didn't want Xiaolan to be sad and cry because of such an outrageous thing.

"..."

Upon noticing Vermouth's subtle actions, Aragaki Yuu sighed helplessly.

Please, even Kogoro Mouri's wife and son-in-law aren't this anxious, so why should I be at the forefront?

Chapter 655 Your wife, I will take care of her.

Finally, under the coercive gaze of Vermouth, Yuu Aragaki gave in.

At the same time, Kenzo Shiozawa suddenly suggested, "Then let Attorney Kiyoshi be his pre-trial lawyer?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Ran momentarily forgot her grief and looked at Kenzo Shiozawa in confusion, then at her mother. "What is a pre-trial lawyer?"

"Actually, this lawyer accompaniment system exists to prevent the police from conducting improper interrogations." Kenzo Shiozawa paused, and seeing that Eri Kisaki didn't intend to speak, he explained to Ran.

"I'm sorry, I don't take this job."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Kenzo Shiozawa finished explaining, Eri Kisaki decisively rejected the suggestion.

"what?"

Noticing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Eri Kisaki also deliberately spoke loudly with a cold face: "I'm not stupid enough to take on a case where I know from the beginning that the suspect is guilty. The main reason is that I don't want to ruin my undefeated record!"

"Hmph, even if you wanted to pick me up, I wouldn't let you."

Kogoro Mouri, who had already reached the door, knew that Eri Kisaki was saying this on purpose, so he turned back to look at her and said, "If you dare to come to the police station, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Eri Kisaki: "Hehehe..."

Kogoro Mouri: "Heh..."

The next second, the two stared at each other without giving an inch, their smiles forced and unconvincing.

Seeing her parents' actions, Xiaolan became even more heartbroken.

She didn't know why the two of them always ended up like this.

"Cough cough."

Just as the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Aragaki Yu deliberately coughed twice to attract everyone's attention.

"Wait a minute, if I remember correctly..."

Upon hearing the voice, Officer Yamamura's gaze slowly fell upon Yuu Aragaki. He hesitated for a moment, then his expression became exaggerated and excited.

He had just thought that the handsome young man was just the boyfriend of that girl named Xiaolan.

But now it seems there's more to it than that!

Suddenly realizing Aragaki Yu's identity, Yamamura rushed up to him, grabbed his hand, and exclaimed excitedly, "You, you, you wouldn't happen to be that famous high school detective, Aragaki Yu, would you?!"

Faced with the enthusiastic village police officer, Aragaki Yuya calmly withdrew his hand.

It wasn't that he minded having his hands held by a man.

He was just worried that being "stupid" was an illness, and that it was contagious...

Officer Yamamura, seemingly oblivious to Aragaki's subtle movements, muttered with a hint of obsequiousness, "Well, um... because Mr. Mori is now a criminal, we can't hear his reasoning. I wonder if Mr. Aragaki... well..."

After all, if a detective could solve the problem sooner, he wouldn't have to work overtime at night.

Upon hearing Officer Yamamura's words, everyone in the room looked at Aragaki Yu with varying expressions.
