The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

After a deafening gunshot and a woman's scream.

Conan instinctively looked at the bottle in his hand, then frantically patted his chest, but found no signs of being shot.

When he shifted his gaze to Colonel Meng Lang, he realized that the hand that Colonel Meng Lang was being held tightly by Shinjuku Yu had somehow changed to point a gun at the ceiling.

Judging from the smoke coming out of the gun and the bullet hole in the ceiling, the shot hit the ceiling.

"call--"

At that moment, countless people breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this certainly does not include the person who started all of this.

While everyone was still reeling from what had just happened, Aragaki Yu suddenly released Major Meng Lang's hand and burst into laughter, "Looks like that brat was absolutely right, isn't he?"

Colonel Meng Lang exclaimed in surprise, "You...!?"

Just then, the club's back door was suddenly opened.

The tense atmosphere was broken as a tall, thin man in an expensive coachman's uniform suddenly walked into the club. He kept his head down and did not look at anyone.

But his next words made everyone's expression change.

"Excuse me, everyone, Lord Moriarty said he would like to see you all."

"what!?"

The group was slightly taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

But the coachman didn't wait for their reaction. As he turned to leave, he silently said, "Lord Moriarty is waiting for you in the carriage."

"Please, please wait!"

Unlike the players' expressions of surprise and delight, Colonel Meng Lang's expression was extremely unpleasant.

However, the coachman showed no respect for Colonel Monlang, turning around and giving him a blank stare. "What, do you intend to disobey Lord Moriarty's orders?"

"No, I don't dare..."

……

Soon, led by the coachman, the group arrived at Professor Moriarty's carriage.

"I have brought them all." The coachman bowed respectfully to the people in the carriage.

"Thank you for your hard work. Okay, little brother, give me that bottle of red wine."

Professor Moriarty did not get out of the carriage.

The carriage was somewhat gloomy, so no one could see Moriarty's face.

"it is good."

Faced with Professor Moriarty's request, Conan did not refuse or take the opportunity to make any demands. Instead, he obediently handed the red wine in his hand to the coachman in front of him.

Conan knew very well that if he tried to use these tricks in front of Professor Moriarty, it would only make the professor look down on him.

More importantly, Yuya Aragaki, who had been following him the whole time, did not try to stop him at all.

Conan now understands perfectly well that Aragaki Yu's seemingly strange actions were all intended to lure out Professor Moriarty.

He had long since noticed that Professor Moriarty's men were paying attention to this place!

However, when the coachman approached and took the red wine, a scent emanating from him made Conan reveal an expression of "I knew it."

Chapter 687: Shifting the blame

"The guy who can go toe-to-toe with Colonel Meng Lang, and even manage to make him suffer such a defeat and lure me out, truly lives up to his reputation as Sherlock Holmes' apprentice! What brings you here?"

Surprisingly, Professor Moriarty suddenly said this with a smile.

Of course, Ran and the others knew very well that Professor Moriarty was referring to Conan and Yuu Aragaki.

However, when faced with Professor Moriarty's question, Yuu Aragaki didn't seem inclined to say anything. Conan, surprisingly, also didn't rush to explain. Instead, he looked up at Professor Moriarty in the carriage with some suspicion, "Uncle, are you really Professor Moriarty?"

"certainly……"

Professor Moriarty's tone in the car showed no hesitation.

Just as Ran and the others were wondering why Conan would ask such a question, Conan's next sentence left them even more confused.

"Oh, I see. You were testing us this way!"

"What do you mean by this?" Professor Moriarty in the carriage suddenly narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the brat in front of him with an unfriendly expression.

"Hehe..." Under the other person's gaze, Conan not only showed no guilty feelings, but suddenly laughed, "Uncle, stop acting. You're not Professor Moriarty."

"Conan... Conan, what are you saying?"

Amid Ran's soft gasp, Conan abruptly shifted his gaze from Professor Moriarty in the carriage and looked towards the coachman, exclaiming, "Because the real Professor Moriarty is here!"

"what!?"

Following Conan's gaze, Ran looked at the coachman from before and opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Ai Haibara and the second and third generation children all wore expressions of confusion.

Even Noah's Ark, which had everything under control, glanced at Conan with some surprise.

He naturally knew who Professor Moriarty was from the very beginning.

But what puzzled him was how this kid in front of him had figured that out.

However, no one noticed the complex expression that flashed across Hideki Moroboshi's face.

"The voices you're hearing are all from the professor using ventriloquism, right?"

"Hehehe..."

When Conan asked the question, the coachman suddenly laughed.

"I didn't expect you to see through me!"

He took off his hat, turned it inside out, and pressed it to his chest, looking at the child before him with polite yet authoritative eyes. "How did you know?"

Meanwhile, the real coachman, who was sitting in the carriage, bowed slightly to Professor Moriarty, then silently stepped out of the carriage and returned to the driver's seat.

"Because Colonel Meng Lang just told you, 'Please wait a moment,'"

Conan didn't keep this a secret.

"I see, I understand now!" Xiao Lan, who was standing to the side, also had a look of sudden realization. "Colonel Monlang only uses honorifics when addressing Professor Moriarty!"

Is that all?

Professor Moriarty stared at Conan, his expression unreadable.

However, you could tell from his tone that there was some dissatisfaction.

Of course, everyone present knew that his dissatisfaction stemmed from Major Meng Lang's unintentional behavior.

"Of course not, because I've heard that Professor Moriarty is a world-renowned old man who uses natural herbs to wash his cologne."

"So, you smelled this aroma when you handed him the wine, right?" Hideki Moroboshi asked Conan with great surprise.

"Hmm!" Conan nodded in agreement, not denying anything.

"Beautiful." Professor Moriarty was generous with his praise this time, even giving Conan the highest evaluation, "It's like watching a mini Sherlock Holmes."

"hey-hey……"

Hearing Moriarty's praise, Conan couldn't help but laugh. However, when he noticed Ran's strange expression scrutinizing him behind him, he suddenly realized that he had overdone it.

So in the next second, he ruthlessly drew everyone's attention to Aragaki Yu.

"And more importantly, I noticed that Aragaki-nii-san has been focusing his attention on you from the very beginning, which is why I felt something was off!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Conan suddenly reverted to a childlike tone.

Aragaki Yu: "..."

Haibara Ai:"……"

Noah's Ark: "..."

"So that's how it is!"

Of the people present, only Ran showed an "I knew it" expression after hearing Conan's explanation.

After all, it would be terrifying if a child could discover so many things on their own...

"Ha ha……"

When Conan shifted the blame onto him, Yuu Aragaki didn't refute anything, but he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Conan, don't worry.

I don't hold grudges.

The next second, he suddenly looked in the direction of Noah's Ark, and while everyone else's attention was still on Conan, he gave Noah's Ark a look that said, "You'll teach him a lesson in the next episode."

……

Because of Noah's Ark's control over the situation, Professor Moriarty did not delve into this issue.

His gaze lingered on Aragaki Yu and Conan for a moment with interest before he suddenly returned to the main topic, "So, what brings you two here?"
