The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

The launch plans for virtual reality games will also be thwarted as a result.

Of course, let's look at it from another angle—

Regardless of which side views it, using this virtual reality technology in games is truly a waste.

If it were applied to military or scientific research fields, the resulting benefits and impact would undoubtedly be epoch-making.

It's quite normal for some people to want to take advantage of the negative impact of Noah's Ark to privatize this technology.

Ai Haibara looked at the badge in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then thanked Genta and the others.

Regardless, these were the children's good intentions, and she couldn't let them down.

“However, since we only have four cards, so…” At the same time, Ayumi looked at Aragaki Yu as if she had thought of something and said somewhat embarrassedly.

Because Conan had disappeared somewhere, and they hadn't thought of "Aragaki-nii-san" yet, they hadn't considered the two of them either.

You should know that they had played video games at Aragaki's house many times.

Because Aragaki Yu has a large collection of video games at home, the children have always regarded him as a hardcore video game enthusiast.

As for this, Aragaki Yu naturally couldn't explain to the children that those software programs were all from Yaodaoji's collection.

Yoto Hime: (?????·????)

Chapter 667 The Brothers Gather

"Who told that Edogawa to always run off and disappear without a trace!"

Perhaps because Yuu Aragaki was there, Ai Haibara made a rare joke.

However, once her gaze was fully fixed on Aragaki Yu, she seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "If you also want to go, I can..."

Her tone was somewhat conflicted.

If it were her own badge, Ai Haibara would naturally not hesitate.

However, these were all the children's good intentions, although she knew that even if she gave the badge to Aragaki Yuumi, they wouldn't say anything.

But she always felt a little uncomfortable doing so.

Aragaki Yu, who was standing to the side, seemed to notice Haibara Ai's hesitation. She looked at the children, then at Haibara Ai, who had a conflicted expression, and waved her hand with a smile. Then she took out the badge that Kuroba Kaito had given her from her pocket.

"Don't worry, I actually received this badge too."

"No way!"

"It's true!"

"What? So, even Aragaki-nii-san isn't an adult yet?"

The members of the Junior Detective League looked at the badge in Aragaki Yu's hand with expressions of utter astonishment.

However, the last thing Genta said made Aragaki Yu's eye twitch involuntarily.

On the contrary, Ai Haibara, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but smile slightly as she watched the scene unfold.

"As for Conan, I saw that Professor Agasa gave him a badge just now, so you don't need to worry."

Hearing this, Ayumi and the others finally felt relieved. Driven by their curiosity about the game, they couldn't help but huddle together excitedly, speculating and discussing the virtual game they were about to experience.

……

Just at this time.

Suddenly, Yuu Aragaki noticed a staff member rushing into the banquet hall, looking slightly flustered as he found Yusaku Kudo surrounded by fans.

While such panic and urgency are quite common, it is truly unusual for staff to exhibit this attitude at a banquet filled with so-called high society.

Of course, it wasn't just Aragaki Yuu; Conan and Haibara Ai also noticed this scene.

The staff member squeezed into the crowd somewhat awkwardly, and after whispering a few words in Kudo Yusaku's ear, Kudo Yusaku's expression clearly became more surprised and ugly.

At that moment, both Conan and Ai Haibara felt a sense of foreboding.

Watching Yusaku Kudo hurriedly leave with the staff, Yuu Aragaki narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems that Thomas Sindora did indeed take action.

Under these circumstances, Conan followed without hesitation.

As for Ai Haibara, she hesitated for a few seconds and was just about to lift her leg when she found herself being lifted up by someone.

Ai Haibara: ⊙_⊙

She turned around somewhat blankly, only to see Aragaki Yu holding her in mid-air, smiling as he said, "Little kids shouldn't run around!"

Then, before she could react, she was handed over to Akemi Miyano, who walked over and held her tightly in her arms.

*?(???o?o??)??

When she turned back to look for Aragaki Yu, she found that he had already disappeared.

……

Yuu Aragaki and Conan then followed Yusaku Kudo to the basement.

Yusaku Kudo naturally noticed his son and Yuu Aragaki following behind him. He didn't stop them, but instead nodded slightly to Yuu Aragaki as a greeting.

Soon, Yusaku Kudo, Yu Aragaki, and Conan stopped in front of a door at the end of the basement corridor.

The room in front is the backstage area for this banquet, and there are quite a few people gathered outside the door.

Not only the staff here, but even the police have arrived at the scene.

"Yusaku, you're finally here! Hey, isn't this Aragaki and Conan? What are you doing here too?"

Many of the police officers at the scene were familiar faces to Aragaki Yu and his friends.

When Inspector Megure, who was in charge, saw Yusaku Kudo and Yuu Aragaki arrive, he seemed both surprised and delighted.

"Inspector Megure, it's been a long time."

"Isn't that Inspector Megure? What on earth is going on here?!"

What surprised Inspector Megure even more was that, right after he finished greeting Yusaku Kudo and the others, a familiar voice accompanied by hurried footsteps came from the distance down the corridor.

He looked around and saw Kogoro Mouri rushing towards him.

"Brother Mori, you're here too?!"

Inspector Megure, who was initially overwhelmed by the murder that occurred at such an important event, finally breathed a sigh of relief and became relaxed after seeing all his usual underlings (except for Kudo) arrive at the scene.

(Conan: Hey hey hey! Actually, I'm here too!)

"Inspector Megure, I was just trying to sober up on the balcony when I saw a police car. Has something happened?"

Kogoro Mouri was somewhat surprised to see Yusaku Kudo and his group appear, but since they were all old acquaintances, he nodded to them and went straight to Inspector Megure to explain his purpose.

"Actually, the person in charge of developing the Cocoon game this time, Kenjiro Nakaaki, was murdered!"

Inspector Megure explained the case to his men as he led them into the locked room.

In the room, in front of a computer, a man slumped in a chair, a large patch of blood on his chest, and the man was already lifeless.

"Jiancun!"

Although he had mentally prepared himself, Kudo Yusaku's expression still turned somewhat grim when he saw his friend slumped in a chair.

However, he remained rational and stood at a distance, refraining from rushing forward to disrupt the scene.

After glancing at Yusaku Kudo, Inspector Megure explained the situation at the scene to everyone: "The victim was stabbed in the heart and died instantly. We did not find the murder weapon at the scene, but there were some tissues that had been used to wipe the murder weapon. It is very likely that the murderer cleaned the murder weapon on the spot after killing the victim before leaving."

Conan crouched down and looked at the tissues the murderer had used to wipe the murder weapon scattered on the ground. He subconsciously made his own analysis: "The murderer deliberately wiped and took the murder weapon away, which means that the murder weapon is either very important to the murderer, or the murder weapon may very well prove the murderer's identity."

"Kid! Don't run around here!"

Yusaku Kudo glanced at his son but didn't say anything more.

Instead, Kogoro Mouri, amidst Yusaku Kudo's astonished expression, punched Conan on the head and lifted the somewhat dizzy Conan up, throwing him out of the room.

Chapter 668 Too Many Younger Brothers, Too Fast Progress

"The deceased didn't appear to have any intention of getting up from the chair when he was killed." Aragaki Yu glanced at Kenmura Nakaaki, who was stabbed to death in the chair. "Was it a staff member here, or was it someone known to the victim?"

“Hmm.” Kudo Yusaku nodded, glanced at the door of the room, and continued Aragaki Yu’s words, “There are no signs that the door lock has been pried open. Of course, it is also possible that Kenmura did not lock the door at the time, and there are no signs of a struggle inside the room.”

"So, Inspector Megure, did you investigate the deceased's interpersonal relationships?" Kogoro Mouri asked with a serious expression after returning from dealing with Conan.

"..."

Because there were so many younger officers and the pace was so fast, Inspector Megure was a little flustered as he flipped through the files his officers had brought him. "Um...we..."

Officer Shiratori, seemingly noticing Inspector Megure's embarrassment, stepped forward and took over, saying, "We have now begun investigating Mr. Kenmura's connections and the people involved in this banquet."

After Officer Shiratori finished speaking, Inspector Megure subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at his brothers with a guilty look.

It was fine when I only had one younger brother, but now that I have more, I'm finding it harder to keep up with them.

This will make me seem a bit dull.

"Well, there's something really hard to understand: all the data on the hard drive has been corrupted."
