The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Damn it... That guy Yuu Aragaki, why didn't he stop them a little?" Conan grumbled to himself as he ran up the stairs of the building.

and many more……

On the dark stairwell, Conan's steps gradually slowed down.

Whenever Aragaki Yu is mentioned, Conan is reminded once again of the fear he once felt when he was dominated by Aragaki Yu.

He clearly remembered that it was a dark and windy night, in a school warehouse, when he clung tightly to Aragaki Yu's leg, trying to stop him from harming the criminal...

"Oops!"

At this moment, Conan couldn't help but slap his thigh, and his gradually slowed pace quickened again, even more so than before. "I have to hurry and check the situation, otherwise! Otherwise, those thugs might be in mortal danger!"

……

Just as Conan rushed to the newspaper office, he saw Aragaki Yu dragging a strangely styled long sword toward the woman in black.

"Big brother Aragaki! Stop it!" Conan shouted anxiously at Aragaki Yu, fearing that he would cut the woman in black with his knife.

"Hey! Conan, you're back!" Aragaki Yu, who had actually spotted Conan long ago, silently stopped and turned around, feigning surprise as he looked at the panting Conan.

"Conan!" The members of the Detective Boys were very excited to see Conan return and rushed to his side.

"Conan, let me tell you! Those people are really printing counterfeit money!"

"That's right, that's right! Conan, we've found evidence of their crimes."

"And they also successfully rescued Junye's brother!"

"The Junior Detective League has been a resounding success!"

Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi had all calmed down from their initial tension and started chattering amongst themselves in Conan's ear.

Conan: "..."

Only then did he have time to check the situation in the room.

Besides the Junior Detective League, Yuu Aragaki, and Ai Haibara by his side.

The person crying while holding Jun-ye is probably Jun-ye's older brother, who was kidnapped.

As for the others, Conan's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

The woman wearing a black wide-brimmed hat and dressed in all black, who was now terrified and panicked, was clearly the newspaper editor-in-chief mentioned by the policeman whose name she couldn't recall.

Moreover, this all-black outfit is exactly the same as the traditional habits of those men in black!

"Ha, I've finally found you!"

Looking at the woman in black in front of him, Conan suddenly felt a raging fire ignite in his heart.

Then, Conan's gaze couldn't help but fall on the two men lying on the ground.

The two men appeared to have fainted.

One of them was a burly man with a bandage on one hand and an unnaturally bent wrist on the other. Judging from the cold sweat on his forehead, his twisted and ferocious features, and the screams he had heard in the stairwell, it was clear that he was a formidable figure.

He probably fainted from the excruciating pain after his wrist was broken by "someone" in an extremely cruel manner.

The other person lay quietly on the ground, without making a sound, as if they were dead...

"He wasn't really beaten to death, was he?!" Conan's heart jumped at the thought of Aragaki Yu's explosive fighting power when disciplining criminals.

Suddenly panicked, Conan rushed to the man's side, cautiously checked his breath, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, at least I'm still alive."

Watching his unusually practiced movements, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but say, "Conan, don't worry, I'm usually very careful when I do something."

The few people in the room who witnessed Aragaki Yu defeating the two men: "..."

"Hehehe..."

Hearing Aragaki Yu's words and seeing the twisted wrist of the man on the ground, Conan, who was speechless, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

……

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to Conan's return.

The woman in black, realizing that no one was paying attention to her, suddenly glanced sideways and saw her pistol, which had been knocked away and landed not far from her.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her kung fu, she gritted her teeth and lunged at the pistol amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Looking at the pistol that was so close and about to be in her hands, a smug sneer crept onto her lips.

"Hmph, this boy and brat are still too young! Once I get my hands on the gun, I'm not afraid to deal with them! Hahahaha..."

In an instant, her triumphant laughter came to an abrupt halt. She watched helplessly as the pistol, within her reach, was snatched away by the little girl who had followed the boy in.

"Damn it!" The woman in black saw that the person blocking her way was just a frail little girl, so she reached out to try and snatch the pistol from her hand.

However, the next moment, something happened that left everyone speechless.

Ai Haibara picked up the pistol from the ground, raised her arm expressionlessly, and pointed the gun at the woman in black in front of her.

The woman in black: "!!!"

Seeing the dark muzzle of the gun already aimed at her, the woman in black couldn't help but let her pupils shrink suddenly.

The next second, before anyone could react...

A gunshot rang out.

The bullet shot out of the pistol in Ai Haibara's hand, grazed the hair by the woman in black's ear, and hit the glass behind her.

Then, the glass that had been pierced by the bullet shattered, and pieces fell out of the house.

"Ah!" Feeling the pain from the bullet burn on her cheek, the woman in black, who almost thought she was going to die, finally couldn't suppress her fear and collapsed to the ground.

This……

She couldn't understand what she had done to deserve this, that each of the people who fainted today was more and more strange than the last.

First, a group of strange kids inexplicably barged into his newspaper office and found counterfeit money.

Then another young man, wielding a knife, swiftly slashed down his own subordinate.

Finally, there was another little girl who shot herself with a blank expression...

Good heavens, what's wrong with this world?!

The members of the Junior Detective League were stunned and stood there in surprise as they watched this scene unfold.

Conan stared incredulously at the calm and collected Ai Haibara before him, stammering, "Hai... Haibara... classmate?"

Chapter 183: Whoever solves the case is a good brother!

"Wow, that's amazing!" Genta Kojima exclaimed, watching Ai Haibara gracefully put away her gun. "Haibara-kun, you're really incredible!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "That's so cool!"

With her hands tucked inside her pockets, Ayumi Yoshida excitedly said to Ai Haibara, "This is the first time I've ever seen a real gun!"

"This...this guy!"

Conan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious of Ai Haibara, the girl who had just transferred to the school.

Mitsuhiko looked at all the thugs who had been subdued on the ground and praised them with shining eyes: "They're really something!"

"It's really great!"

"Yay! Junior Detective League, big victory!"

Ignoring Conan's eye-rolling, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi started cheering excitedly.

Meanwhile, Shunya's older brother, who had been untied by Aragaki Yu, excitedly embraced his younger brother and wept with joy.

……

"What happened?!"

Police officers from the police station next to the newspaper office rushed to the newspaper office after hearing what sounded like gunshots.

Looking at the scene in the newspaper office room, they all stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"Thank you for your hard work. We have resolved the matter satisfactorily!" Genta Kojima saluted the arriving police officers with considerable pride.

"These counterfeit banknotes that haven't even been finished yet are evidence of their crimes!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya quickly held up the evidence that he and his companions had found.

"what……!?"

The police who arrived were dumbfounded.

Ayumi Yoshida pointed to Toshiya's older brother in the corner and said, "And there's another one, that's the older brother of Toshiya who was kidnapped, the one I told you about!"

They blinked their bewildered eyes repeatedly, looking at the boy and several elementary school students in the room.

Actually...

There really were people tied up near the police station printing counterfeit money.

The case was even solved by these little devils whom he had never trusted.

"Ah...!? So all of these things are true!"

Seeing the police officers stunned by the Junior Detective League's remarkable achievements, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi excitedly exclaimed, "Leave this to our Junior Detective League, and it'll be perfectly resolved in no time!"
