However, the woman in black completely ignored his threats and simply said, "Don't worry, we'll deal with your brother last! Just bring that little girl here first!"
"Let me go!" Ayumi struggled desperately in the man's hands.
"What exactly do you want?" Junye asked the man in black anxiously.
"Hmph!" The woman in black snorted coldly, walked to the man holding Ayumi, pointed her pistol at Ayumi, and said, "I just want to make your work progress faster. They're dying one after another, so you're more focused on your work, right?"
Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun in front of her, Ayumi Yoshida couldn't help but cry out in fear, "Big brother Aragaki! Please come and save me!"
"Brother Aragaki?" The woman in black sneered, then said disdainfully, "If you're talking about that boy who came up the stairs with a little girl, he's dead now!"
"Ah!?" Upon hearing the words of the woman in black, Ayumi's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils contracted, and she couldn't help but tremble.
Genta Kojima looked utterly astonished: "What! You're saying that Aragaki-nii-san is dead!?"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also refused to believe the woman in black's words, and retorted excitedly, "How is that possible! That's impossible! There's only one entrance and exit in this building. Tell me, when did you kill him!"
"Hahahaha!" The woman in black suddenly burst into laughter. "We saw everything you did on the monitors, and of course, we also had a clear view of the staircase outside. You probably didn't expect that, did you? To prevent you from escaping, I've already ordered Inuyama to surround all the exits from the emergency exit. That boy you called 'Big Brother Aragaki' in that stairwell, he's probably already been killed by Inuyama!"
As she spoke, the woman in black also cocked her pistol and aimed it at Ayumi Yoshida again.
Under the gun, Ayumi, torn between fear and guilt for killing her older brother Aragaki, began to sob painfully.
"Alright, alright, stop crying!" the woman in black comforted her with a smile. "Don't worry, little sister, I'll take you to your big brother's place to keep him company right away! Goodbye, little sister!"
"Stop!" Junye's brother, seeing this scene, was filled with rage and tried anxiously to rush forward, but was held tightly by the man with a bandage on one hand.
It's too late, but it's soon.
Just as the woman in black was about to pull the trigger, something suddenly shot out from the doorway and struck her hand directly.
boom!
The woman in black, feeling the pain in her wrist, involuntarily released her grip on the pistol, which was then knocked away and landed some distance away.
"Who goes there!" The woman in black looked towards the door in terror after being attacked.
The newspaper office's closed door slowly opened, and the boy who had been seen in the stairwell on the surveillance footage suddenly appeared in the doorway. He carried a strangely shaped longsword on his shoulder and smiled at the people in the room, saying, "Sorry to disappoint you, I'm not dead yet! And making cute little girls cry isn't anything special!"
"What?" The woman in black looked at the boy at the door with some surprise.
Aragaki Yu grinned at the woman in black: "As for you saying it looks like a roly-poly toy, that's hilarious. The reason Fukuzawa Yukichi on the banknote is missing his left eye is simply because your portrait artist got injured."
The woman in black: "!!!"
Yuu Aragaki pointed the long sword resting on his shoulder at the man in the room who was holding Junya's brother and explained, "That's right, the man with the arm in a sling is the one who was originally helping you draw counterfeit money, right? You saw that he was suddenly injured just as the counterfeit money was about to be finished, so you hurriedly found Junya's brother to replace him. I'm afraid it's because you admired his painting skills at the exhibition!"
Then, Yuu Aragaki paused for a moment before shifting his gaze to the table: "Those paints next to the printing press, and those magnetic iron powders—judging from what you've prepared, you're planning to use these counterfeit bills on the machine again! As long as they pass the counterfeit bill recognition machine, these indistinguishable counterfeit bills can be exchanged for a large sum of real money! By the time the police realize what's happening, you'll probably have already fled abroad with a huge amount of cash and be living the high life."
"You...who exactly are you?!" The woman in black, whose every move had been seen through, suddenly realized that the situation was getting out of control.
"Who goes there?" Aragaki Yu slowly stepped into the room, dragging his sword. "Since you're bad people, then of course I'm a good person!"
Chapter 181 You're not thinking of calling the police, are you?
"Big brother Aragaki!"
Inside the room, the members of the Junior Detective League all showed expressions of joy upon seeing Aragaki Yuu "come back to life".
"This, how is this possible!" The woman in black stared at Aragaki Yu in disbelief and exclaimed, "Inuyama clearly already took care of you."
"Oh, so that big guy's name is Inuyama!" As Aragaki Yu entered the house, he used his long sword to poke the doorway. With a "bang," Inuyama, who had been leaning against the door unconscious, collapsed in front of everyone. "I'm sorry, it looks like I've already taken care of him."
As Aragaki Yu was groping his way toward the newspaper office, he was alerted by Yuki-onna and soon noticed someone approaching him in the stairwell.
After looking around the stairwell and not finding any suitable tools, Aragaki Yuu had no choice but to "borrow" Ai Haibara's weapon from the Onmyoji Realm when he turned the corner of the stairs and Ai Haibara couldn't see him.
Yaodao-hime: (T^T)
As for borrowing equipment from the shikigami, Aragaki Yu only discovered this not long ago.
With just a small amount of spiritual power, one can materialize their shikigami's equipment in their hands for their own use.
Of course, this only applies to using the equipment itself. To activate the special abilities of these equipment is something that Shinjuku Yu, whose spiritual power is currently weak, cannot do.
However, for him now, having a suitable weapon is more than enough.
The only thing that Aragaki Yuu regrets is that the only reliable weapon his shikigami has is the demon sword in the hands of the demon sword princess.
Although the fan in the little tengu's hand has the ability to summon wind and rain, this kind of equipment for a mage is indeed not suitable for Shinjuku Yu to use, as his spiritual power is scarce.
If the spellcasting tool were a staff, Yuu Aragaki might consider transforming into the melee mage Gandalf, but the image of him wielding a magic fan and striking people is something Yuu Aragaki simply cannot imagine.
As for the dandelion in Hotaru's hand, aside from the fact that such a large dandelion is indeed surprising, what shocked Aragaki Yu even more was that the dandelion, which looked light in Hotaru's hand, actually weighed more than a thousand kilograms. This was simply a weight that Aragaki Yu's life could not bear.
No wonder……
It feels so good when Firefly taps on people.
……
So, Inuyama, who saw Aragaki Yu's figure on the surveillance camera, confidently went to deal with Aragaki Yu, even though he was holding a gun.
However, when faced with Aragaki Yu, who was already on guard and hiding in the corner of the corridor with a long knife, he was knocked unconscious in just a few moves.
If it weren't for the fact that this big guy was indeed quite heavy, and it took Aragaki Yu a lot of effort and time to drag him to the door, Aragaki Yu would have been here long ago.
"Wh-what...!?" The woman in black still couldn't believe that Inuyama, who was holding a gun, could be subdued by such a boy.
"Damn it!" At the woman in black's signal, the two men behind her immediately put down the person they were holding and rushed towards Aragaki Yu, trying to subdue the strange boy.
"Ah!" came the exclamation from the Junior Detective League.
Two men lunged at Aragaki Yu at the doorway simultaneously. One punched him in the chest, while the other raised his fist and struck him hard on the head, creating a pincer movement that left Aragaki Yu no room to dodge.
However, Aragaki Yu remained completely calm. Under the secret guidance of the sword master Yaodao-hime, Aragaki Yu swiftly swung his sword at the man who already had one arm bound.
The back of the demon sword struck the man's wrist as he threw a punch, showing no mercy.
With a "crack" sound and a man's piercing scream of pain, his hand fell to the ground at an angle that was hard for ordinary people to comprehend.
It looks like the wrist is completely broken.
Now, both of the man's hands were injured, and he finally regained his balance, looking much more harmonious.
Aragaki Yuuya didn't have time to pay much attention to the man's situation. Following Yaodao-hime's prompting, Aragaki Yuuya quickly crouched down to dodge another man's fist aimed at his head. Then, while half-crouching, Aragaki Yuuya swiftly swept his leg, delivering a powerful kick to the man's ankle.
The man's fragile ankle was suddenly attacked, and in the pain, he involuntarily staggered and fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aragaki Yu quickly stood up and slammed the hilt of his sword into the back of the man's neck, knocking him unconscious.
"!!!"
Before the woman in black could react, she found that her two subordinates had been defeated by the young man in front of her.
Looking at the scene before her, a few drops of cold sweat involuntarily trickled down her forehead.
One of his two subordinates was kneeling on the ground, howling as he looked at his broken wrist.
The other one looked even worse; he lay motionless on the ground, completely silent.
I don't know whether he is alive or dead.
"You and I……"
Seeing Aragaki Yu approaching her step by step, the woman in black retreated in fear.
"You, you stay away! If you come any closer, I...I'll..."
Due to extreme nervousness, the woman in black even began to stutter when she spoke.
"So...so what are you going to do?" A faint smile remained on Aragaki Yu's face as he slowly approached her, still holding the knife. "You're not thinking that if I get any closer, you're going to call the police, are you?"
The woman in black: "!!!"
Junior Detective League: "..."
Junya and his brother: "..."
Ai Haibara cautiously entered the room behind Yuu Aragaki: "???"
Everyone stared blankly at the scene unfolding in the room, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
For some reason, they felt that Aragaki Yuu was the real villain at this moment.
The woman in black, who was clearly the criminal, looked pale and distraught, as if she had suffered some kind of inhuman torture.
……
at the same time.
After finally finishing his call and informing Inspector Megure, Conan rushed back from the phone booth, only to be shocked to find that none of the guys he had told to stay put and wait for him were anywhere to be seen.
Conan stared blankly at the newspaper office not far away, when suddenly a sense of foreboding washed over him—
They wouldn't just barge into the newspaper office to investigate clues, would they?
Chapter 182 Oh no, the thugs are in danger!
"Damn it! These idiots!"
Conan ran anxiously toward the newspaper office: "Maybe... these people, these people are the accomplices of those men in black who turned me into this!"
Conan knew all too well how ruthless and cruel those men in black were; if the Junior Detective League kids were discovered by them, things would probably...
