The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Since the other person happened to be coming downstairs, it's possible that she knew the exact location of that restaurant.

"Well, you can't get there by taking this elevator, because this is the elevator in the annex!" However, the aunt's answer surprised Conan.

A detached house?

If he remembered correctly, he had just walked into the main lobby of Beika Hotel when he overheard staff talking about the renovation of the annex.

If that's the case, then why would guests come down from the upper floors of the annex?

However, since it wasn't anything important, Conan only paused for a moment and didn't take it to heart.

Chapter 731 Why do the dishes made by Yu Aragaki glow?

Ran, who was following behind Conan, was very grateful for the aunt's kindness, so she quickly thanked her, saying, "Thank you for telling us this."

After all, if they accidentally take the wrong elevator and end up in another place, it would waste a lot of time going back and forth.

"Don't say that. It's only right to help each other when we encounter difficulties!" After saying that, she moved away from the elevator door.

However, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but take another look at this strangely behaving woman.

Although what the other person said didn't seem wrong, their actions of deliberately blocking their way when exiting the elevator and only giving up their place after hearing the elevator ascend and leave the first floor were both very suspicious.

It was as if there was some reason that absolutely prevented them from entering the elevator she had just taken.

Meanwhile, the two people who had been chatting on the sofa in the lobby also noticed the commotion.

"Ms. Zhouchuan!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Judging from their expressions, it seemed that the two people had been talking on the sofa while waiting for this Ms. Zhouchuan.

"How is he now?"

Ms. Zhouchuan said with a smile, "Oh, at first he was just like usual, drunk and even scolded me, but after I scolded him, he actually started crying."

"She's crying, she's starting to cry!?"

The other two seemed quite surprised by what Ms. Zhouchuan said.

"Yes, he said that after he sobers up, he would confess and apologize to everyone in person..."

When Aragaki Yuu, who was following Sonoko and Ran as they turned to leave, heard this, he paused slightly in his steps.

Such a dangerous statement, coupled with Ms. Zhouchuan's strange behavior just now and Conan's death-like aura, suggests that the "he" they're talking about is probably a character who won't survive more than one episode.

Not only Yuu Aragaki, but even Conan turned around to take a second look because of the conversation between the three people.

If Sonoko hadn't been insisting on going to the all-you-can-eat cake restaurant, Conan would have really wanted to stay and see what was going on.

It has to be said that this is probably a detective's intuition.

……

"What! We can't go to restaurants that offer all-you-can-eat cake anymore?"

Standing in front of the restaurant queue, Sonoko stared wide-eyed at the waiter in disbelief.

"Yes, yes!" the waiter explained apologetically to the agitated lady, "Because there were far more guests than expected, we didn't have enough cakes..."

"If you're going to let people eat as much cake as they want, you should prepare lots and lots of cake in advance, lots and lots!"

Sonoko was clearly not satisfied with the waiter's explanation; she clenched her fists, her expression looking somewhat ferocious.

After all, she suggested going to a restaurant with all-you-can-eat cakes to celebrate Ran's victory, and she even specially invited Aragaki this time.

As a result, she didn't even get to eat her fill of cake, let alone go into the restaurant. As the daughter of the Suzuki family, doesn't she have any pride?

Ran and Conan, standing behind Sonoko, looked at the emotionally agitated Sonoko and exchanged a helpless, wry smile.

While it's still a shame we can't have cake, the more important thing now is to find something else to eat.

After all, they deliberately skipped breakfast to prepare for this all-you-can-eat event, and now they were starving.

"I'm talking about the garden..."

When she noticed that the guests around her were drawn to Sonoko's voice, Xiaolan tugged at her sleeve somewhat embarrassedly, hoping that she would calm down and pay attention to her surroundings.

However, Sonoko, whose mind was completely occupied by the "cake," was oblivious to Ran's little actions.

Fortunately, before Sonoko could further "argue her case" and before Ran and Conan could completely "go crazy," Yuu Aragaki finally spoke up and stopped Sonoko.

"I came all this way specifically for the all-you-can-eat cake event, how could I possibly give it up like this..."

“I said, since that’s the case, why don’t you come to my house for dinner? We can go to the convenience store downstairs to buy groceries and grab some snacks to tide us over.”

"Give up... Well, since we don't have enough cake, there's nothing we can do. So, Xiaolan, let's hurry up and head to the convenience store downstairs! Let's go!"

Aragaki Yu: "..."

Ran and Sonoko: "..."

Restaurant staff and onlookers: "..."

Seeing how quickly Sonoko changed her expression, Aragaki Yu, Ran, and Conan silently held their foreheads.

If they could, they really wanted to say they didn't recognize the guy in front of them; it was just too embarrassing...

"But, Aragaki, is this really okay? After all, I promised to treat you to dinner..."

As Sonoko pulled her along, Ran glanced somewhat shyly at Aragaki Yuu, who was walking beside her.

However, even though she said that, Ran still subconsciously swallowed when she thought of Aragaki Yu's cooking.

I don't know why, even though I've learned how to cook Chinese food from Aragaki Yu many times, and the steps are exactly the same as his, I just can't make the same taste as Aragaki Yu's cooking.

Moreover, and more importantly, why do the dishes that Yu Aragaki makes glow?

"It's okay. After all, at this time, any restaurant would probably be packed. It's better to go home and cook than to wait in line."

Aragaki Yu didn't seem to mind at all about this.

More importantly, he had a premonition.

If they went to other restaurants, the incident would probably have come after them before they even finished queuing.

With Conan involved, there are no surprises.

Sure enough, the next second, before Ran and Sonoko could even respond.

A dull thud followed by a woman's scream suddenly came from outside the Beika Hotel.

Having experienced this situation countless times, the group instantly realized something ominous, and their expressions changed drastically.

Conan, in particular, rushed straight towards the direction from which the sound came.

"Wait, wait a minute, Conan!"

Seeing this, Aragaki Yu and Ran, and Sonoko had no choice but to quickly follow in Conan's footsteps.

Following the direction of the sound, the group quickly rushed out of the Beika Hotel and into the parking lot outside.

Before they even got close, they noticed three people standing frozen in fear next to a car in the distance, as if they had seen something terrifying.

Sera Masumi makes her debut in Chapter 732.

These three people were none other than Ms. Hirukawa and the others whom they had encountered earlier in the lobby of the Beika Hotel Annex.

As Aragaki Yu had predicted, things really did go wrong.

"No, this is terrible!"

"Call an ambulance!"

Amidst the gasps of surprise from Ms. Hirukawa and the others, Conan finally led the way and ran to their side, looking at the ground not far away with a grim expression.

A man lay motionless in a pool of blood.

Judging from the scene before them, it was clear that the sound of something falling to the ground that they had just heard in the restaurant was probably the noise made by this man falling from the Beika Hotel.

The person in front of me is beyond saving...

"What happened!"

"Just now, I..." Ms. Zhouchuan explained the situation in a flustered manner, "...while I was backing up, this person suddenly appeared from above..."

"Isn't this him?"

"It really is, it's Shangzhu!"

Another plump woman and man recognized the man who had fallen to the ground.

"What happened?"

Meanwhile, Ran, Sonoko, and the guards who had been alerted finally arrived.

Conan looked over at the sound, and was about to say something when Ms. Hirukawa suddenly pointed to the roof of the Beika Hotel annex and exclaimed, "Look, who is that?!"
