"Right, Conan!" Genta Kojima reminded Conan Edogawa, who was still standing there in a daze.
"Huh?!" Conan looked at Genta and the others who were looking at him excitedly, and reluctantly nodded in agreement with their statement.
But in his heart, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and think, "Heh heh... If this kind of thing happens a few more times, or if it weren't for Aragaki Yu, you probably wouldn't have enough lives!"
……
Not long after, Inspector Megure, whom Conan had contacted, arrived at the scene with his team.
"Hey! Brother Aragaki, what brings you here!"
Inspector Megure looked at Aragaki Yuu, who had appeared in the room, with a somewhat surprised expression: "That's strange. It was Shinichi who called me. I thought it would be him here!"
Conan, who was standing nearby, suddenly felt nervous after hearing Inspector Megure's words.
Fearing suspicion, he quickly ran to Inspector Megure and Yuu Aragaki's side, awkwardly scratching his head, and explained to Inspector Megure in a childlike tone, "Um, well... Inspector Megure, actually I called Shinichi-nii and asked him to notify you. So Shinichi-nii wasn't here to begin with!"
"Oh! I see! You've really worked hard, Conan!" Inspector Megure smiled and patted Conan's head, showing no suspicion.
For him, the matter had been perfectly resolved.
So what difference does it make whether it's Kudo's or Aragaki's achievement?
As long as I can help him solve the case, then I'm a good brother!
Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but smile as he watched Conan awkwardly putting on his performance. He wondered if Conan, with such poor acting skills, was actually Yukiko's biological son.
Meanwhile, Ai Haibara secretly glanced at Yuu Aragaki and Conan, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
……
Watching the woman in black being led away by the police, Conan, with his hands in his pockets, said with disdain, "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be so scared by such a small scene. You really are useless! Oh, you should just confess everything to the police, including the huge organization behind you."
"The organization?" The woman in black, who was about to be escorted out of the room, looked at Conan, who was talking to her in a puzzled manner.
She couldn't quite understand what was wrong with the kids she'd encountered today; they all seemed rather abnormal.
"Stop pretending!" Conan said confidently to the woman in black. "You should have a code name too, just like Gin and Vodka!"
"Gin? Vodka?" The woman in black's confusion deepened. "Excuse me, who are you talking about? I don't know them at all..."
"Huh?!" Conan was suddenly stunned when he saw the woman in black whose expression didn't seem to be lying.
"Hey, hey, hey, Conan, what are you talking about, Conan?" At this moment, Inspector Megure finally stepped in to explain, "This person is a habitual counterfeiter, known as the Silver Fox. Although she's had some plastic surgery, I would never mistake her!"
"Uh... Ah!?" Conan stared blankly at Inspector Megure, who was overjoyed at catching the criminal, and couldn't believe what he was saying.
"Hehehe... So what exactly am I doing all this for?!"
Seeing Conan's utterly hopeless expression, Ai Haibara couldn't help but smirk slightly.
But when she noticed that Yuu Aragaki's gaze had suddenly drifted towards her for some reason, she quickly withdrew the smile from her face.
“However, this time you were not only involved in a counterfeit money case, but you also kidnapped innocent citizens and violated the regulations on the control of firearms and ammunition. You’ll be spending a long time in jail,” Inspector Megure said to Silver Fox.
However, after hearing Inspector Megure's words, Silver Fox helplessly explained, "Please, I wasn't the one who fired the shot this time!"
Under Inspector Megure's surprised gaze, Silver Fox turned his attention to Ai Haibara beside him and continued, "The one who fired the shot was that little girl with brown hair over there!"
"!!!"
Inspector Megure followed Silver Fox's gaze and looked at Ai Haibara beside him: "Wh...what!?"
He abandoned the silver fox beside him and rushed to Ai Haibara. With a stern face, he angrily shouted, "Hey, how could you do something so dangerous!"
Chapter 184 You Damn Lolicon
"But, but, I... sob..."
Faced with Inspector Megure's fierce face, Ai Haibara was so frightened that she covered her eyes with her hands and burst into tears.
Seeing the little girl burst into tears, Inspector Megure panicked. Amidst the expressions of his subordinates who seemed to regard him as a scumbag, he could only awkwardly comfort Ai Haibara, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault..."
Aragaki Yu: "..."
Of course he knew that Ai Haibara's performance was just an act for everyone to see.
It has to be said that, in terms of acting skills alone, Ai Haibara is more like Yukiko's son than Conan.
However, he also felt genuinely regretful, wondering why he had to forget his damn phone today.
As a result, I missed so many precious moments.
Ai Haibara: (?▼Profit▼)
Upon witnessing this, Conan curled his lip, completely dispelling any remaining doubt he had about Ai Haibara: "What! Girls are still girls after all..."
……
Yuu Aragaki glanced at Ai Haibara, who was crying earnestly, and then at Conan, who had suddenly lost interest. Without much hesitation, he volunteered to go back to the police station with Inspector Megure to complete the statement.
After all, he knew about Ai Haibara's plan to intimidate Conan Edogawa on her way home.
How could Aragaki Yu have the heart to ruin something so interesting?
If he hadn't forgotten his phone, Yuu Aragaki wouldn't have missed such a lavish scene.
As Yuichi Aragaki got into the police car with Inspector Megure, he sighed softly, thinking about the precious photos he would never have again: "Ah, what a pity..."
A precious collection, -1
"Brother Aragaki! You were just acting in self-defense, nothing will happen. With me here, you can rest assured!" Inspector Megure noticed that Aragaki Yu seemed a bit down and assumed he was worried about giving the thug a tip, so he quickly comforted him.
Inspector Megure secretly resolved to apply for a generous reward for Aragaki Yuu this time.
We absolutely cannot dampen the enthusiasm of a talented junior like Yuu Aragaki, who is skilled at solving cases and actively takes statements.
"But, I have to say, my friend Aragaki!"
"What's wrong, Inspector Megure?" Yuu Aragaki turned to look at Inspector Megure with a puzzled expression.
Inspector Megure patted Yuu Aragaki on the shoulder and said earnestly, "If you encounter a criminal again in the future, it would be perfect if you could be a little gentler when you strike..."
"..."
Aragaki Yu looked at Inspector Megure earnestly and nodded, saying, "I understand, Inspector Megure, I'll definitely do it next time!"
"Hahaha, great!" Inspector Megure couldn't help but burst into a satisfied laugh as he looked at Aragaki Yuu's sincere expression.
……
After giving his statement at the police station, Aragaki Yu was then engaged in a lengthy conversation with Officer Sato, who was on duty that night.
Therefore, by the time Aragaki Yu was escorted home by the enthusiastic police officers, it was already completely dark.
"Hey?"
Looking at the dozen or so missed calls from the same unknown number on his phone, which he had left at home, Aragaki Yu hesitated for only a moment before choosing to call back.
Even if it's a scam call, given how dedicated the caller is, shouldn't we at least give them an explanation?
"Where have you been all this time?! I even went to the trouble of finding your phone number and calling you so many times, and you didn't answer a single one!"
As soon as the call was connected, a furious voice came from the other end.
Yuu Aragaki frowned and rubbed his ears, which had been shaken. Judging from the voice and tone, it seemed to be Kaito Kuroba on the other end.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just went to the police station and left my phone at home," Aragaki Yu explained casually.
"..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Aragaki Yu finished speaking, Kuroba Kaito, who had been very angry, suddenly fell silent.
The two were still on the phone, but the room suddenly fell silent.
Just as Aragaki Yu was about to ask what was going on, Kuroba Kaito spoke up quietly from the other end of the phone.
"As expected... you still went after that little girl, didn't you... You damn lolicon!"
Aragaki Yu: "..."
∑(O_O;)
Hearing what Kuroba Kaito said, Aragaki Yu was stunned. He felt that Kuroba Kaito seemed to have misunderstood something.
"Heh..." To Kaito Kuroba, whose mind seemed a bit off, Yuu Aragaki could only respond with a cold laugh.
Finally, after Aragaki Yu explained the whole story briefly, Kuroba Kaito finally understood why Aragaki Yu had gone to the police station.
However, at this moment, Kaito Kuroba, who had relaxed after Yuu Aragaki clarified that he was not a lolicon, couldn't help but become wary again.
That guy, Yuu Aragaki...
Why do you seem so enthusiastic about the police!
After learning the art of disguise, this guy probably won't turn around and send himself to the police station to "eliminate a menace for the people" and take credit for it!
Kaito Kuroba hesitated, holding the phone in his hand.
Once the thought popped into his mind, Kaito Kuroba felt it was a real possibility.
"!!!"
He turned to look at the large bag of props he had prepared for teaching disguise techniques, and couldn't help but silently add a few more life-saving items to his mental list of props.
Of course, Kaito Kuroba would never admit that he was afraid, but he felt that one should be careful in whatever one does.
