Chapter 14: Strange School Curiosity Kills the Cat

I had heard Mori Jusaburo complain before that his uncle had the physique of a death god and that crimes would happen wherever he went. Kirihara Ryona was originally skeptical.

She stood not far away, her eyes following Conan as he moved back and forth between the two boxes.

But now I kind of believe it.

The murderer had been oppressed by the deceased at work. A week ago, he was laid off without any reason by the deceased. His repressed emotions exploded, and he asked the deceased to meet him on the pretext of apologizing and making amends, and took the opportunity to poison him.

Leaning on the chair, 'Sleeping Kogoro' methodically used evidence to analyze the murderer's modus operandi.

"I told you not to be curious." Panda rubbed his stomach. He was not full yet.

"Can you stop her?" Maki glanced at Panda.

Panda and Inumaki Satoru were both silent. The three of them combined could not defeat Kirihara Ryona alone.

"...He deserves to die!" The murderer was almost insane. "You all deserve to die too! Wait a minute, there will be a gorgeous fireworks feast here!"

He has completely lost his mind and only wants to drag others into hell with him.

"I figured out you had a trick up your sleeve." 'Mouri Kogoro' shattered the murderer's fantasy, "So I had Conan contact the police early on. The case should have been solved by now."

The murderer's crazy smile froze on his face, and his negative emotions erupted again, about to form a curse.

The four people from the high school quickly became alert. Kirihara Ryouna gave Maki a look, and Maki understood.

Everyone only saw a flash of white light before their eyes, and with lightning speed, the knife was placed on the murderer's neck, and the low-level curse spirit that was ready to move disappeared in an instant.

Ryouna, who just wanted to subdue them with her fists: ...That's fine, but their danger level in front of the detective will soar again.

"Hey!" "Maki-san!"

The scene was in chaos, and when Inspector Megure arrived, he saw this shocking scene.

"Police! I order you to put the knife down now!"

Kirihara Ryona was afraid of further misunderstanding, so she took out her sorcerer certificate and gave it to the other party.

Inspector Megure saw the contents of the certificate clearly: First year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, second-level sorcerer, Kirihara Ryona

"Don't worry, Maki knows what to do. We are professionals." Kirihara Ryona quickly put the certificate back into her pocket, blocking Conan's inquiring gaze.

The murderer was quickly arrested and brought to justice. He had specially informed Inspector Megure so that he did not have to give a statement.

Ryona opened her phone out of boredom and learned that Akaya had suffered a crushing defeat of 6:0 and had run away in anger. She laughed out loud in a very unkind manner.

[Burning the world on fire: Don't worry, this kid will be fine after going to the arcade once.]

She knew Yukimura would understand what she meant.

After closing her phone, Kirihara Ryona looked at the other three and made a suggestion.

"How about we go buy some ingredients and make sukiyaki back at school?"

There is no way there will be any murder in the college.

"That's fine." "That's fine with me." "Salmon."

Conan, who was standing by, didn't get any information out of Inspector Megure. Seeing that they were about to leave, he had no choice but to target Panda, who was easier to talk to.

"NeiNei, Big Brother Panda, you can actually wear doll costumes to school? That's so cool!"

Panda waved his hands and explained calmly, "Of course, our school is quite free."

It's freedom, but it's too much freedom.

Kirihara Ryouna bent down, slightly raised her eyelids, and her orange-red pupils looked at him with interest.

"Ah, because our school is a vocational college, as long as you have good skills, some personal quirks are allowed~"

The orange-red eyes flashed with a deep light, as if being stared at by a wild beast. Conan was stunned into the sea of ​​fire, and Kirihara Ryona's light and bright voice came to his ears.

She leaned close to Conan's ear and said, "I reminded you last time, didn't I? Curiosity kills the cat~"

It is clearly confirmed that they are not opponents, but it would be very dangerous to delve into it further.

The soft whisper was like a death warrant, making his heart beat wildly and his hair stand on end.

Before Conan could react, a mature and lazy voice broke the weird atmosphere.

"It's been so long since we last met, and now you're fooling even children?"
