Congratulations You Are Under Arrest!

uncle,

Are you actually from a detective agency?

Hearing the words of the female clerk Kaori Mei Xiaolu behind the cash register, Charlie suddenly said "Aah" with a dog-like look on her face.

Higashinohara and Aragaki Satoru also looked at each other.

Aragaki Satoru's mouth twitched.

Could it be that my forged documents are not authentic enough?

He coughed dryly and said with a smile, "That's it, we"

Mei Xiaolu Kaori, who was behind the cashier, blinked, and her baby face, which was slightly fat, showed two dimples with a smile, "Actually, uncles like you came to ask me, there have been many waves in the past few days."

ah this?

Aragaki Satoru did not expect to be exposed by his peers.

Mei Xiaolu Kaori paused and pouted cutely, "The police won't ask me to investigate these matters, they will probably go directly to the boss."

"Uh what a smart girl hahaha."

Aragaki Satoru is worthy of being an old fritters, but he was torn apart by the lovely female clerk in front of him. When Higashinohara behind him was still a little embarrassed, he scratched his head and let out a burst of "embarrassed yet hearty" uncle laugh.

"But uncle, I didn't lie at all. Back then, I was all-powerful at the Metropolitan Police Department, but now. Hey, this visit is indeed a private visit."

Hearing Aragaki Satoru's frank admission, Mei Xiaolu Kaori's face became a little hesitant. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced in the direction of the warehouse, lowered his voice and said worriedly, "But I don't know much about the boss, no Can't say anything, but... I'm always a little worried."

"worry about what?"

Aragaki Satoru asked subconsciously.

At this time, Miura Yuki, the male clerk who hid in the warehouse of the convenience store and played mobile games, turned his head and glanced outside, which happened to meet Higashinohara's gaze.

The latter, however, quickly withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened.

Mei Xiaolu Kaori didn't answer immediately, he hesitated, his eyes crossed Aragaki Satoru and met Higashinohara, the "cool and handsome fan".

Higashinohara was stunned, and squeezed out a mild smile.

I have to say, with Dong Yeyuan's unique appearance, his smile is still very contagious, and it has a unique lethal power for girls.

Mei Xiaolu Kaori's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head. When she raised her head, she finally gathered up her courage and said to Aragaki Satoru, "Actually, I heard that people from the detective agency have come several times in the past few days to inquire about our boss. But I heard that something happened last night."

"What happened."

"Died in the detective's office in the middle of the night."

"."

Aragaki Satoru suddenly choked.

He carefully looked at the somewhat frightened eyes of the female clerk Mei Kouji Kaori, and after confirming that the other party was not amusing himself, he couldn't help but gasp.

Hemp egg!

I never knew this news.

Aragaki Wu suddenly stopped in Bengbu.

He accepted the entrustment to make money, and what is the use of making money if his life is gone.

But after thinking about it, I have come here, and I just said so righteously.

As the president of the Aragaki Detective Agency, if he backs down at this time, I am afraid that people's hearts will be scattered in the future, and the team will be difficult to lead.

With a calm aura, Satoru Aragaki gritted his teeth and said sternly, "There is only one thing to do for detectives, and that is to let the truth be revealed to the world. Don't worry, we are professional, and no matter how terrifying we are, we will not back down."

Mei Xiaolu Kaori froze for a moment.

"About your store manager, I have a few things I want to know. If it is convenient, please tell me all, please." Aragaki Satoru said seriously.

Mei Xiaolu Kaori hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to be infected by Aragaki Satoru's awe-inspiring aura, and finally nodded.

The two asked and answered in a low voice.

Higashinohara stood behind him and listened. During this period, he noticed that the male clerk who had entered the storage room seemed to be a little disturbed.

In less than three minutes, his eyes drifted to them six or seven times.

When the questioning was over, Aragaki Satoru took out a business card with the address and phone number of the Aragaki Detective Agency from his arms, and handed it to the clerk Umekoji Kaori.

"The information you provide is very important to us, and we can keep in touch with anything at any time." Aragaki Satoru said with a smile, and glanced at the storage room.

"OK."

Mei Xiaolu Kaori took it with both hands and took a serious look at the business card.

At this moment, Xia Li had finished eating the two Odens, and was gulping her head up and drinking Happy Water, her dripping eyes staring at the deli cabinet near the cashier.

Aragaki Satoru suddenly felt nervous. He quickly said goodbye and said hello to Higashinohara. The three of them were about to leave, and the follow-up investigation would be discussed after they went out.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the rain curtain on the street outside.

Unexpectedly, they saw an acquaintance in the group - it was Aragaki Mai, the daughter of Aragaki Satoru, who belonged to the 13th Division of the Third Investigation Group.

The latter's face was solemn, and in addition to the people from the third investigation team, there were several people who looked like detectives.

After the group arrived at the door, their movements were very well-trained and divided into three groups. The left and right sides were separated to surround the convenience store. Mai Aragaki rushed into the convenience store with the group in the middle.

As soon as he entered the door, seeing Aragaki Satoru and Higashinohara three standing at the door, Aragaki Mai couldn't help but stunned slightly. After recovering, he glared at Aragaki Satoru angrily, and then went straight to the cashier.

She simply showed her credentials and said straight to Kaori Mei Xiaolu, who was standing behind the cashier, "Hello, we are from the Third Investigation Team of the Metropolitan Police Department, and now we are going to confront Miura, the criminal suspect of your convenience store staff. Yuki conducts arrest questions, where is he?"

Mei Xiaolu Kaori was stunned for a while, then hesitated for a while, but still raised her finger and pointed to the storage room.

The next second, those wearing the navy blue windbreakers of the third investigation team who followed Mai Aragaki immediately rushed towards the storage room.

Seeing this, Dong Yeyuan was stunned for a while, and suddenly noticed that Aragaki Wu's face was a little indignant, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"It's from the Kudo Detective Agency."

Aragaki Satoru said with a dark face, "Damn, they were actually taken one step ahead. I originally wanted to collect some more evidence and then contact the police, these guys. Mai is really, fat water does not flow to outsiders, and actually helps others. to steal their own business."

"Did the clerk just say something?" Higashinohara noticed the problem.

Aragaki Satoru nodded somewhat dejectedly.

Now that the Metropolitan Police Department has begun to arrest people, at this stage, he naturally doesn't need to wait to go out to discuss anything, he just turned his head and explained the situation to Higashinohara.

It turned out that among the several questions he skillfully asked Kaori, the female clerk, there was one question. Kaori's inadvertent words caught the attention of Satoru Aragaki.

That is, the male shop assistant Miura Yuki who worked with her is the nephew of the victim's wife. She had a conflict with the victim a week before the incident, and the shop owner and the owner's wife had a fight because of this.

In addition, Miura Yuki often scolds the unscrupulous boss when he goes to work, saying that the rich people in New Tokyo are not as good as pigs and dogs, and they don't treat employees as human beings.

"Is that all?"

Tonohara frowned slightly when he heard this.

In a homicide case, this is indeed a lot of doubt, but it always feels like something is missing.

By the way, ability, if there is no motivation, no ability and no ability to commit crimes.

Could it be that the clerk is capable?

As if to answer Higashinohara's question, the moment the people of the third investigation team pushed open the door of the storage room, Higashinohara suddenly felt that their movements seemed to stagnate for a moment.

The next second, the clerk named Miura Yuki rushed out of the door, his pupils focused and narrowed into a strange dark red like successive apertures, and angrily shouted at Mei Xiaolu Kaori, who was stunned behind the cashier, " You bastard! You actually betrayed me!"

Does this ability seem familiar?

Higashinohara reacted immediately. This is the spiritual ability [Crimson Eye] that fell from Xia Li when he first met her after capturing her. Later, his source power point was upgraded to [Nine Eyes and Six Paths].

It's too late. Soon.

The crazy Miura Yuki pushed the person from the Kudo Office who was blocking the way in front of him, and was about to rush out of the convenience store's front door desperately.

"drink!"

Just at this moment, there was a clear and loud roar from the convenience store!

With a face of "what's the matter?" Charlie seemed to have suddenly realized something. Those long, strong legs like cheetahs suddenly jumped up in two steps, and suddenly rolled up a huge sound, moving towards The little clerk who ran away was kicked out in the back.

Tianhu Six Styles. Wind Feet!

The next second, Miura Yuki still rushed out of the door of the convenience store_but this time he flew out completely, and fell on the side of the road outside with a bang, splashing a zhang-high water.

The corners of Higashinohara's eyes twitched involuntarily.

He looked a little sore.

Immediately afterwards, the three groups of people who were temporarily under mental control at the door of the storage room also woke up.

They hurriedly joined the teammates who stayed outside to surround the convenience store, quickly pinned the man named Miura Yuki to the ground, and cuffed the power suppressor.

Uh. Actually not necessary.

Xia Li's foot was heavy, and coupled with the heavy fall, she fainted directly from the suspect.

"Huh! Thanks to you, Xia Li-chan, thank you so much." When he came back to his senses, Mai Aragaki quickly came up and thanked him.

"You're welcome, Lu Jian gave a roar, my father often taught me when I was a child."

Xia Li waved her hand very much, and continued, "Sister Aragaki, if you are really sorry, just invite me to dinner."

Tonohara:

Everyone has to take care of your relationship, right?

"sure."

Aragaki Mai didn't care about a meal. After confirming that the criminal suspect was arrested, she took out the communicator to contact the logistics, and a police car came from a distance soon.

Before she left, she didn't forget to remind Aragaki Satoru that there was a big man in Wano Kingdom in the Shangjing Judgment Division recently.

As for his daughter's words, Aragaki Satoru always raised his hands and surrendered, and he didn't refute it for a long time.

Of course, he never listened.

The episode of the convenience store, on behalf of the Aragaki Detective Agency, was one step behind in this investigation commission and lost to the Kudo Detective Agency.

Although Aragaki Satoru was unhappy, he could only hold his nose and be willing to admit defeat. It could only be said that there was still a long way to go before reviving the glory of the Aragaki Detective Agency.

Higashinohara still felt a little strange and disappointed. He participated in the investigation of the detective agency this time, and by the way, he also wanted to get some guilt points and ability drops to break it down.

However, from the time they entered the convenience store to the arrest of the clerk's younger brother, Yuki Miura, the task of [Guilty Manual] had never been triggered.

Is it because the sin value is not enough to trigger?

It shouldn't be.

Based on his past experience, these cruel serial murder cases must at least be the crime index that Samsung started.

There's no reason not to trigger Guilty Manual.

Or is there a hidden condition missing?

After leaving the convenience store, Aragaki Satoru held up his umbrella and saw Higashinohara frowning slightly, "Higashino-kun, is there any problem?"

Dong Ye Yuan shook his head, glanced at the police cars that left in the rain, shook his head and said, "No problem, but I have a few questions that I don't quite understand."

"What's the problem?" Aragaki realized.

"Motivation." Higashinohara said.

Aragaki Satoru said with a smile, "Uh, didn't it mean that there was a conflict with the victim a week before the incident? He is a capable person, and it is easy to understand that the young man's anger is also easy to understand. The boy just now seems to have 'admitted'."

Higashinohara shook his head and said, "But this is a serial murder case, what about the others?"

"This is a suspicious point." Aragaki Satoru pondered for a while, his eyes lit up slightly, "Oh yes, just now, Miss Mei Xiaolu seems to have mentioned that the suspect is a little dissatisfied with the current situation of life, or the wealthy class, you Say it will."

"Have you hated the rich class?" Higashinohara didn't answer directly.

He had seen the information on the victims, and in Wano Country, he was considered to be middle class at most, but perhaps he was "rich" compared to the little brother who needed to live in a convenience store and work at a relative's house.

"A little lost and frustrated isn't it?"

Aragaki Satoru patted Higashi Yehara's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile in the tone of an old uncle, "That's what detectives are like, the truth is there, even if you find something suspicious, if you take a single step, you will be arrested. When others pick the fruit, you will gradually get used to it.”

Higashinohara did not have any setbacks.

Just still puzzled.

But he didn't say anything more, nodded with a smile, and a group of three returned to the apartment building by car.

Aragaki Satoru was open-minded, but he began to complain on the way back.

You know, the three of them were rented from other people's stores in their famous detective coats, and if it rained, they would be charged extra for washing, not to mention the trip for nothing.

He muttered as he drove,

Don't go out next time when it rains.

In the evening, the showers broke down.

Jingle Bell-!

The phone of the Aragaki Detective Agency rang, and after connecting, a call from the Metropolitan Police Department was found.

"Don't you admit it? After sobering up, you said that you were wronged?" Satoru Aragaki was slightly taken aback after answering the phone, and asked subconsciously, "Then why did he run away when he was caught? Why did he yell at others 'bet him'?"

At this moment, Higashinohara happened to be in the office, and he wanted to see if there were any other entrusted investigations on capable persons.

After saying a few words, Satoru Aragaki turned his head and shrugged at Higashinohara. He smiled and said, "It's from Mai. The suspect caught in the convenience store today has pleaded not guilty. I want to ask if I can do anything better."

Higashinohara was slightly startled, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Aragaki Satoru rarely showed his father's dignity and taught him by example and deeds for a long time, and Aragaki Mai was also at the end of get off work time. After thinking about it, she decided to come back at night to ask for advice in person. She was inconvenient to say some things in the office.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, a Metropolitan Police Department car stopped in front of the Aragaki apartment, and a tall figure in a navy blue windbreaker walked down first.

The tenants who come and go know that the landlord has a beautiful daughter who works as a police officer and is also the third investigation team specializing in special incidents, so it is not surprising.

Mai Aragaki didn't come back alone this time. There were several young and tender faces behind her, who looked like newcomers who were following up for an internship. They all followed behind very respectfully, and occasionally greeted the neighbors who passed by. .

"Hey! Hold up your chest and show your manliness!"

Aragaki Mai saw the low-brows pleasing to the eyes of the interns who followed behind her, and her heart suddenly became angry, "Remember, no matter where you go, don't forget that we are from the thirteenth division."

"Yes! Never embarrass the Thirteenth Division!"

Several interns immediately shouted in unison.

Aragaki Mai covered her ears and glanced at these Hanhans angrily, "Just talk, why are you yelling so loudly?"

She made up her mind that this time, Satoru Aragaki must properly train these newcomers—she knew that even though her father was not very good, the Metropolitan Police Department's years of ups and downs were still able to control these newcomers.

In the corridor on the fifth floor, Higashinohara looked down at the scene downstairs and couldn't help but laugh.

Aragaki Mai made him feel like a gentle and reliable senior sister on weekdays, but he didn't expect that in his job at the Metropolitan Police Department, he unexpectedly had the demeanor of a big sister.

But remembering what Aragaki Satoru and Aragaki Mai said on the phone when they were downstairs just now, Higashinohara's brows could not help frowning slightly. He always felt that this case didn't seem so simple.

Do you want to go to the convenience store again tomorrow?

"Higashino-kun (big brother), come back and have dinner together." He was thinking, when the voices of Nishimaru Miri and Kolotia came from behind.

Higashinohara responded, shook his head and didn't think about it. Anyway, you don't have to go to school tomorrow and Sunday, so I'll have a look when I have time.

The night gradually deepened.

The tall buildings in the distance lit up.

When resting on weekends, Higashinohara used to put part of his exercise in the evening. After eating, he walked all the way downstairs along the stairs.

When he came to the corner of the fourth floor, Higashinohara suddenly found that the voice-activated light in the corridor seemed to be broken, and the corridor was dark. I remember that a tenant responded a few days ago.

Higashinohara came back last night to see that the lights were on, and thought it was repaired, but he didn't expect that it was just a flashback - this unscrupulous landlord is really a bit stingy in this regard.

He thought about this in his heart, but when he walked to the dark corridor on the third floor, Higashinohara suddenly stopped.

The third floor seemed a little quiet.

You know, the word quiet rarely appears in a crowded apartment building.

Of course, if that's the case, it's not worth Higashinohara to stop.

At this time, the night wind came from the east side of the corridor, and Higashinohara smelled a strong bloody smell.

On the far east side of the corridor, under the dim light that flickered, there seemed to be a pool of pitch-black things.

On the third floor, in the neon-lit room of the [Aragaki Detective Agency], several figures fell into a pool of blood and breathed their last breath without even a single struggle.

A petite figure in a high school uniform stood at the door with a business card in his hand.

She lowered her head and glanced at it in the faint moonlight, and there were light dimples on her cute cheeks that were slightly fat.

"Hey. Aragaki Detective Agency? It should be here, right?"

The petite figure looked like a high school girl in need of help. She timidly followed the address on the business card and looked for it, looking a little fortunate after finding it successfully.

Of course, the premise is that you have to ignore her deformed right hand as sharp as a sharp knife

And the scarlet blood that was falling "tick-tock" in this unusually quiet environment.

Aragaki Satoru was sitting on his chair where he often sat betting on horses and drinking. His face was very painful, sweat was oozing from his forehead, and his right hand tightly covered his sticky, blood-red abdomen.

"Mai! Hurry up and leave me alone!"

"Shut up! Do you think she might let me go?"

Aragaki Satoru smiled bitterly.

He stared at the baby face with a little baby fat in front of him, even if he just watched helplessly as the other party really pushed the door like a ghost and shot, the incredible deformity of his right hand turned into a pair of scissors and brutally killed the few brought back by Mai Aragaki. New trainee.

Looking back at this time, he still felt a little ridiculous and unbelievable in his heart.

Because the girl who was blocking the door was actually Kaori Meikoji who was behind the cashier of the convenience store that she had met at the convenience store today, a sweet girl who looked like a high school student.

Judging from the strange ability of the opponent to turn her hands into scissors just now, she has at least the strength of a fourth-order or even a fifth-order power user.

No one in the Aragaki Detective Institute is her opponent at all, and no one can recognize the talent sequence corresponding to this strange ability.

"It's a pity"

In the shadow of the door.

Mei Xiaolu Kaori's girl smiled sweetly at Aragaki Satoru, "Uncle, do you know? Today is the first time I received a tip. I didn't intend to kill you."

Having said that, she sniffed, lowered her head, and said a little disappointedly, "But today, you all have to die here."

Aragaki Mai knew that running away and begging for mercy at this time would only make her die faster. The only thing she could do was to delay the time. She took a breath and said, "So you killed the owner of the convenience store?"

"The owner? You mean that uncle who likes to take advantage of me?"

Mei Xiaolu Kaori nodded and said softly, "Yes, he used to harass me very much, and he often told me that he touched my hand and was reluctant to wash it for several days after returning home. I thought about it. .Since he likes it so much, take off those hands and give them to him."

Aragaki Mai and Aragaki Satoru glanced at each other in amazement, it was hard to imagine such a word would come out of the mouth of a baby-faced girl so gently.

Aragaki Mai took a deep breath.

"I sympathize with what happened to you, but in that case, you should have called the police."

"Call the police?"

Mei Xiaolu Kaori shook her head, "It's useless, I called the police. When my mother remarried three years ago, and the elder brother brought by my stepfather often touched me, I already called the police."

"But the stepfather would only say a few words, and after the police came, the mother also told the police that it was just a misunderstanding."

"I've been away from home a few times, but when I came back, I was beaten by my stepfather, saying I made them worry, huh. Did they really worry about me?"

Aragaki Mai was stunned for a moment, and felt a little sympathetic to the girl in front of her.

However, the bodies of several interns she brought tonight were in a pool of blood, and her father, Aragaki Satoru, was also cut a huge wound in order to protect her abdomen, which could be in danger at any time.

At this moment, it was obviously not the time to empathize with the extremely dangerous girl in front of her. She took another breath and continued to throw questions in her mind.

"What about the other recent murders in Edogawa District? They should have no life trajectories with you. Are their deaths also related to you?"

"You mean those uncles?" Mei Xiaolu Kaori said.

"You really know them?" Aragaki Mai frowned.

"No, I don't know, but when I was on the way home in those few nights, I felt that there was an uncle behind me who was following me all the time, and he wanted to violate me." Mei Xiaolu Kaori closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"They did that?" Mai Aragaki asked.

"No."

Mei Xiaolu Kaori shook her head.

"Are you persecuted in your delusions? So you killed them?" Mai Aragaki looked incredulous.

"It's not like that."

Mei Xiaolu Kaori shook her head and said softly, "Have you ever felt that way? It seems that there is a person living in your mind. He knows what you think and understands what you think. He will tell you the truth of the world and give you strength. Let you protect yourself."

Saying that, Kaori Umekouji raised her right hand.

Her right hand was eerily turned into sharp scissors like dark blue bone spurs, glowing with a chilling brilliance under the hazy moonlight.

Aragaki Mai reacted somewhat, frowned and asked, "Someone in your mind is talking to you? Tell you to kill them? And gave you this ability?"

"right."

Mei Xiaolu Kaori nodded and shook his head again, "But it's not 'giving', it's 'giving', this is the ability I was born with.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on her doll's face.

"Like at this moment, you shouldn't have been involved, and you shouldn't have died, but the voice in my head told me that you must die.

Actually, I know that you are procrastinating by asking me so many questions. Time is not so precious sometimes, what do you think? Can anyone save you now? "

"It's over, I'm going back to meet my dear brother. He should be returning home from school today."

The voice fell, and Mei Xiaolu Kaori's figure seemed to merge into the misty moonlight, and the scissor-like scissors cut a clear and cold light in the air.

quick!

Completely faster than Aragaki Mai caught with the naked eye!

It's hard to imagine any ability in the talent sequence that can mutate people's bodies while also imparting such a terrifying speed.

However, Aragaki Mai was unavoidable to the left and right, and Aragaki Satoru, who was lying on the chair behind him, was dying, but he didn't know where the strength suddenly came up, clutching his lower abdomen, and pushed her out to the side.

"This idiot!" The moment Aragaki Mai lost his balance, his heart suddenly tightened.

However, the next moment, when she fell to the ground and hurriedly turned back, there was no picture of blood spilling in her imagination, and she only heard a "clang" in her ears.

The fire burst into flames!

Without warning, they saw a familiar tall figure standing in front of them.

he is

It's the tenant Higashino-kun upstairs!

Aragaki Mai immediately froze on the ground.

In the detective office, under the dim light, Higashinohara's figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

He frowned slightly and looked at the girl in front of him. Before he finished eating in the evening, he was thinking of going to the convenience store again tomorrow, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually "look for the door".

Of course, what made Higashinohara even more uneasy at this moment was that there were several young corpses lying in the pool of blood on the ground.

But he stared at the baby-faced girl with baby fat cheeks in the moonlight at the door, the [Guilty Book] in his mind was still as silent.

What the hell is going on here?

spicy at the end of the month~
