The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Conan, who was walking ahead of Aragaki Yu, was completely unaware of all this.

At this moment, Conan, who was completely immersed in the game, carefully opened the back door of the club and slipped inside.

After confirming that no one in the club had noticed what was happening, he waved to Yuu Aragaki outside the door, signaling him to follow.

Soon, the two reached behind the screen in the hall, and Conan cautiously peeked into the hall.

They found that almost all the small round tables in the hall were already full of guests.

Only in such places can people from all walks of life, regardless of their social status, gather together.

Just then, Conan suddenly felt Yuu Aragaki gently nudge him with his elbow.

"Ok?"

He turned to look at Aragaki Yu with some confusion, only to see that his gaze was fixed on the very center of the hall.

Chapter 684 Beauty Trap

Unlike its surroundings, in this most conspicuous and best-lit spot, there is a high-end solid wood long table.

More importantly, four men in suits were sitting around a long table, with a mountain of gold coins piled up beside them.

"It's Meng Lang!" Conan immediately recognized one of the people.

Just as he was pondering what to do next, he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder from behind.

"!!!"

Conan was startled, thinking he had been discovered, and he turned around abruptly.

They then discovered that it was the boy named Hideki Moroboshi and another kid who had somehow sneaked in with them.

"So, you're the one who wears glasses."

"Why are you here?" Conan frowned as he looked at Hideki Moroboshi in front of him.

He was worried that Genta and the others might disobey and run into the area, which is why he left Ran outside to watch over them.

Unexpectedly, this time, it was these second and third generation kids who came over.

"You want to take all the credit? No way!" Faced with Conan's question, Hideki Moroboshi had naturally already prepared an excuse.

As for the other child squatting next to Hideki Moroboshi, he genuinely held that thought in his heart.

These second- and third-generation kids, who are usually the center of attention, would never allow others to steal the spotlight from them.

"..."

Conan was at a loss with these mischievous kids.

"Aragaki...wait, where is he?"

He was about to turn to Aragaki Yu, who had just been standing next to him, for help when he realized that Yu had somehow disappeared from behind the screen and gone somewhere else.

Just as Conan was looking around trying to find Yuu Aragaki, Hideki Moroboshi, who had just run over, solved his mystery.

"If you're looking for the older brother who came in with you... look, he's over there..."

For some reason, Conan noticed that Hideki Moroboshi's expression became very strange when he got to this point.

When he followed Hideki Moroboshi's gaze, his puzzled expression froze on his face.

Suddenly, Aragaki Yu appeared, having somehow blended into a group of wealthy women, chatting and laughing with them.

"..."

A... a honey trap!?

Could this guy be planning to use these wealthy women's identities to get close to Colonel Meng Lang?

Seemingly sensing Conan's gaze, Aragaki Yu, who was some distance away, subtly raised an eyebrow at Conan while the wealthy women covered their mouths and smiled.

Conan opened his mouth slightly, about to mutter a few words of complaint, but unexpectedly, a cheerful laugh and a few frustrated complaints came from the direction of the long table.

Conan's shoulders stiffened slightly, and he quickly peeked through the screen.

It turned out that Colonel Meng Lang was laughing because he had won a large sum of money.

"That guy Meng Lang is pretty good at playing cards!" Hideki Moroboshi, who was hiding next to Conan, couldn't help but mutter to himself as he watched this scene.

“He’s cheating…” Conan subconsciously showed off his discovery, “That monkey over there is telling Colonel Meng Lang the other’s hand.”

Hearing the sound, Hideki Moroboshi and his companions looked over and, sure enough, saw a monkey squatting on the cabinet opposite Major Monroe.

"For hearts and spades, use your right hand; for diamonds and clubs, use your left hand. It eats as many fruits of the same color as the number it has."

Conan had already noticed this during the previous card game.

Normally, even if a poker pro doesn't pay attention to the situation at the table, they will still occasionally observe their opponents' micro-expressions to deduce their hands.

However, Major Meng Lang's gaze always "inadvertently" fell on the monkey on the cabinet behind his opponent.

This is quite suspicious.

As for training monkeys to help cheat, it's not uncommon, not only in games but also in the real world.

Just as Conan was lost in thought, he noticed a figure walking past him.

The next second, Hideki Moroboshi's voice came from the hall.

He cheated!

Conan: "..."

He looked up in a daze, only to see that Hideki Moroboshi and his friends, for some reason, were standing openly in front of the long table, pointing at Colonel Monlang and righteously exposing his behavior, "That Monlang guy cheated."

In an instant, everyone's expression changed.

Colonel Meng Lang, with a stern face, stood up from his chair and stared at Hideki Moroboshi and his friends, coldly saying, "Kid, watch your tone. Do you have any evidence that I cheated?"

“Of course.” Hideki Moroboshi tilted his head arrogantly, looking at the monkey on the cabinet. “That monkey is your best friend, isn’t it?”

"What!?"

The guy who had just lost money immediately changed his expression and glared fiercely at the monkey on the counter.

"Just now, it was looking at that old man's cards. If it had the three of spades, it would use its right hand to take three black berries to eat the five of diamonds, and its left hand to take five red berries to eat the five of diamonds." Hideki Moroboshi quoted Conan's explanation verbatim.

Upon hearing this, the man who had lost money immediately realized that Colonel Meng Lang was indeed cheating.

Since he could sit at the same table with Colonel Meng Lang and gamble, his status must be extraordinary.

Therefore, even when facing someone like Major Meng Lang, he still jumped up from his chair and pointed at Colonel Meng Lang, angrily shouting, "Meng Lang, you're too despicable!"

"Hmph, who told you to fall for their tricks?" Colonel Meng Lang didn't take these people seriously, and snorted disdainfully with his hands in his pockets.

Just as Major Meng Lang and the man who lost money were about to start arguing.

Hideki Moroboshi's next move surprised everyone in the hall.

Conan, hiding behind the screen, became incredibly stiff.

Suddenly, Hideki Moroboshi pulled out the pistol from Holmes's room and pointed it at Colonel Monroe without hesitation, sneering, "Hey, what's your fight about? You can argue about it later."

The atmosphere in the entire club lobby suddenly fell silent.

It wasn't that they were scared by a kid with a gun.

They all knew that fighting in this place was nothing serious, but once guns were involved, the situation would change drastically.

For a moment, many people looked at this arrogant brat with cold smiles.

Chapter 685 Riot

"Hey, where is Professor Moriarty?"

However, Hideki Morohoshi's next words instantly made the silent atmosphere tense.

"..."

Conan, hiding behind the screen, helplessly rubbed his forehead.

What a terrible teammate!

It was only then that he realized that the mischievous kids in the Junior Detective League were actually quite reliable.

Colonel Meng Lang nearly jumped up at this moment. He looked at the kid in front of him with a puzzled expression and stepped forward aggressively to question him: "Kid, how do you know his name!"

Faced with Colonel Monroe lunging at him, Hideki Moroboshi feigned fright, secretly delighted but taking two steps back in fear, saying, "Don't come any closer!"

At the same time, he subconsciously closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

Despite the apparent impact of the powerful recoil, it was actually under his deliberate control that caused the bullets flying from the barrel of the gun to graz Colonel Meng Lang's shoulder, without causing any damage. He had been protecting several noblewomen and watching the show from a corner.

However, the sudden gunshots still threw the scene into chaos.

Aragaki Yu clearly felt the several ladies around him scream and then move closer to him without any restraint.

What left Aragaki Yu speechless was that these ladies not only showed no fear of encountering a shooting incident, but their eyes also revealed a hint of eager joy.

Good guy...

It's really too much... no, too enthusiastic.
