The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Instead of directly answering Officer Yamamura's question, Aragaki Yu asked him, "Would it be convenient for me to say a few words to Mr. Mori?"

"Speak? Of course, no problem! Please go ahead!"

Officer Yamamura naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Aragaki Yu's request.

……

The next second, amidst Kogoro Mouri's excited gaze, Yuya Aragaki slowly walked up to Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri looked expectantly at Yuu Aragaki, while Yuu Aragaki looked calmly at Kogoro Mouri.

For some reason, Kogoro Mouri felt that he could see the trust in Yuu Aragaki in his eyes.

Finally, someone is willing to believe in me and come to my rescue?

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri found the boy in front of him to be quite pleasing to the eye.

If he could, he would definitely kick that brat named Shinichi Kudo away right now and choose him as his future son-in-law.

Just as Kogoro Mouri's expression shifted from excitement to anticipation, and finally to relief, Yu Aragaki suddenly reached out and patted Kogoro Mouri on the shoulder.

“Aragaki, you…”

"Mr. Mori, you can go in peace. I will take care of Ran and Attorney Kisaki for you!"

Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to ask Yu Aragaki what evidence he had found to prove his innocence, the words that came out of Yu Aragaki's mouth suddenly stopped him in his tracks.

"ha……!?"

Then, Kogoro Mouri stared wide-eyed at Yuu Aragaki, his mouth agape, unable to recover for a long time.

This guy……

What were you just saying?

Fei Yingli: "???"

Xiaolan: "???"

Conan: "!!!"

Belmode: "..."

The others in the room: "..."

In an instant, the entire room fell silent, and the expressions on everyone's faces became strange and intriguing.

Vermouth reached up and rubbed her forehead, feeling somewhat helpless. Looking at Aragaki Yu's expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, she felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her.

Damn it, can you stop messing around?!

I wanted you to solve the problem and comfort Xiaolan.

I didn't ask you to take care of Xiaolan!

Moreover, it's one thing for you to take care of Xiaolan, but why did you bring Xiaolan's mother along as well?

You guy...

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, Vermouth's gaze toward Aragaki Yuu turned dangerous.

Haha, just as I expected!

We should keep Xiaolan and the others away from this guy.

Even disregarding his connection to the organization, this guy is a dangerous individual!

However, when faced with Vermouth's scrutinizing gaze, Aragaki Yu's eyes turned innocent.

[Didn't you tell me to comfort Xiaolan? Look, Xiaolan isn't sad anymore!]

Vermouth understood the meaning in Aragaki Yu's eyes. She glanced at Ran, who was somewhat petrified beside her, and then glared fiercely at Aragaki Yu.

【roll! 】

Not only Vermouth, but there is another person who shares the same idea as her.

That was Conan, who had just recovered from his shock and was now looking at Aragaki Yu with a wary expression.

He now has reason to suspect that Aragaki Yu is trying to take advantage of the fact that he's not around Ran.

Ha, he really is a man who wants to take advantage of Xiaolan!

……

As for Kogoro Mouri, he felt utterly exhausted at this moment.

Faced with Aragaki Yu's sudden remark, he didn't know how to respond.

If you want to express anger and annoyance...

Looking at Aragaki Yuu's sincere face, who seemed to have no ill intentions, Kogoro Mouri was momentarily unable to vent his anger.

But if he were to appear pleased, Kogoro Mouri felt there was something strange about the whole thing.

hateful……

Forget it, I'm tired. Let's just destroy it!

Chapter 656 Code Words

"I think I should be Mr. Mori's defense lawyer. The main reason is that I don't really believe Mr. Mori would have a motive to kill."

In the end, Norifumi Saku followed Kogoro Mouri out of the room and headed to the police station.

However, before Kogoro Mouri left, he suddenly turned around and looked at Yuu Aragaki with a stern face as if he were giving instructions: "You brat, I'll leave it to you."

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu was taken aback at first, but then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Mori."

"Aragaki, you...!?"

Ran was also somewhat confused and puzzled by what Aragaki Yu had just said, so she looked at Aragaki Yu with a strange expression and asked him.

Thinking of the words his father had asked him before he left...

Xiaolan's face flushed red instantly.

Honestly, what nonsense is Dad talking about!

"Attorney Shiozawa, Attorney Mikasa."

At the same time, Eri Kisaki turned to her two other lawyer companions and said, "Could you please leave for a moment? I have something I'd like to discuss with this police officer privately."

"Oh, of course!"

Kenzo Shiozawa and Yuji Mikasa are both acceptable.

After the two of them left the room and closed the door.

Besides Eri Kisaki, Ran, Conan, Yuu Aragaki, and Vermouth, others were also present.

That left only the village police officer who had been deliberately left behind.

At this moment, Ran looked at Eri again and asked, "Mom, what are you two talking about?"

"Humph."

Unexpectedly, Eri Kisaki snorted and said with a look of disdain, "Ran, didn't you hear it? That bumbling detective was asking us for help before he left."

Ran was taken aback, turning to look at Aragaki Yu, who was talking to Officer Yamamura. "Then..."

"Didn't I agree to that too?" Aragaki Yu turned around and smiled slightly at Xiao.

"Why!?"

In an instant, Xiaolan's eyes completely turned into beady expressions.

It wasn't until this moment that she finally realized what was happening.

So that's what Aragaki Yu meant when he said "Don't worry" to his father.

Vermouth, however, did not show any surprise.

Although she was initially worried about Yuu Aragaki's bold remarks.

However, after Kogoro Mouri said those words to Yuu Aragaki, she and Eri Kisaki understood the "secret code" between the two men almost simultaneously.

Of course, the difference is—

Vermouth's choice stemmed from her understanding of Yuu Aragaki.

Eri Kisaki, on the other hand, is because she is familiar with Kogoro Mouri.

"Officer, if it's convenient, could you please lend me your gloves?"

Eri Kisaki didn't have much time to talk to Ran anymore, so after exchanging a glance with Yuu Aragaki, she immediately went to Misao Yamamura's side.

"Oh? You want to borrow my gloves?"

Officer Yamamura was slightly taken aback. Although he wanted to refuse, he subconsciously took off his gloves and handed them to Eri Kisaki in the face of her strong personality.

It wasn't until he saw Eri Kisaki put her gloves on that Officer Yamamura realized something was wrong.

The high school student, Yuu Aragaki, had already borrowed his spare gloves, and now the gloves he was already wearing had been borrowed by someone else.

So, does that mean there's nothing I can do right now that I'm on the scene?
