Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 446: The Bride of Halloween (Part 8)

After returning to the police station, Nakamura persuaded Christina to give up the wedding, but Christina showed them a mysterious message, instructing them to hold the wedding on schedule, otherwise they would continue to commit crimes.

They had no choice but to continue with the wedding, but this aroused Conan's suspicion: "Why is Pramya so obsessed with the wedding?"

Then Conan received a call from Toru Amuro, who told Conan that the organization that was hunting down Pramya was called "Nado Unichitshiti".

"It means 'I will definitely kill you,' or 'I will kill you without a doubt.'" The night watchman appeared beside Conan. "It seems these people are very determined."

The archer sighed, "It's clear they believe that other nations haven't actively pursued Pramya, leading to her still being at large. That's why they're taking matters into their own hands."

"Hmph, this kind of criminal is exactly the kind Ms. Cogan hates the most. They deserve to be executed on the spot if caught." The night watchman crossed his arms. "The last person to receive such an evaluation was Mr. Jack."

"Then why didn't Ms. Cogan execute Jack?" Conan looked up at the night watchman.

"I don't know what happened between them, but I heard that a detective who was obsessed with 'procedural justice' insisted that Jack must be tried in court first, and the result was..."

The night watchman didn't finish his sentence, but Conan understood what was to come. The recorder, seeking "consequential justice," had undoubtedly intended to execute Jack on the spot, but the detective's interference gave Jack an opening. What happened next was likely akin to what he had experienced in the "Cocoon" game.

"So sometimes the pursuit of procedural justice gives criminals an opportunity to take advantage. This is probably why this non-governmental organization doesn't trust the police." The archer put his hands on his hips.

Conan pondered what the two said.

Soon it was the wedding day, which was also Halloween. Xiaolan and Conan were looking after Maori Kogoro in the hospital. Xiaolan wrote down the contents of the paper from the first explosion and placed it on the chair. When Conan saw it, his pupils trembled.

Because he found that the symbol drawn on the paper was exactly the traffic jurisdiction of the Shibuya area on Halloween. Thinking of this, Conan directly rode his scooter to rush to the wedding venue.

At this time, at Dr. Agasa's house, Crazy Eyes, the little girl, and Guard No. 26 came to visit with costumes and candies.

"Grandpa Balk, you clearly said before that you wouldn't participate in Halloween, a holiday only for children."

Crazy Eyes (the Holy Night Wizard) coughed and said, "Who said that? I take my vacation very seriously!"

"But, this outfit is obviously prepared for Christmas." The little girl was dressed as "Miss Pomegranate Disc", and the exquisite pomegranate skirt made her look like a little witch.

"Nonsense, nonsense, Halloween and Christmas, aren't these two holidays very similar?" Crazy Eyes looked irritated and didn't admit that he had said Halloween was childish.

"Happy Halloween!" Guard No. 26 did not come wearing any costumes because the little girl covered him with pumpkin stickers. In order to make him fit in with the festive atmosphere, Crazy Eyes added Halloween-related content to his voice pack.

Professor Agasa tried to start the guessing game that is a must in every movie, but the little girl interrupted him: "Oh, Professor Agasa, you always ask the questions, and I always guess wrong because of the context. Let me tell you a riddle."

Dr. Agasa scratched his head sheepishly. "Well, what kind of puzzle would you like Alice to come up with?"

"Hmm...I got it!" After the little girl thought about it for a while, a light bulb popped up in her head.

"Today is Halloween, and Pumpkin Jack has prepared a mysterious gift. Only the luckiest Halloween monster can win it through a lottery. So who is the luckiest monster?"

"A. Vampire B. Zombie C. Skeleton D. Ghost."

"Remember, only the luckiest monster can get the mysterious gift~" The little girl smiled mysteriously and looked at everyone expectantly.

Yuantai looked depressed: "So we have to guess which monster has the best luck? I have no idea at all."

"Could it be a vampire? Vampires in general stories have very powerful abilities." Ayumi guessed.

Mitsuhiko said: "I think it should be a ghost. Ghosts have no physical body and can pass through the wall to see where the lottery ticket is."

Hui Yuanyuan had already thought of the answer: "Oh, what an interesting puzzle. Alice just said that Professor Agasa's puzzle was based on the homophones of Japanese words, so Alice's puzzle must be related to English."

However, the three little ones' English vocabulary was totally insufficient, so they had to ask Huibara for help.

Huiyuan smiled proudly: "The answer is C, Skeleton, because among these three monsters, only the Skeleton can 'break a leg', which means 'good luck to you'."

"Eh? Is that really the case?" the three little ones exclaimed in amazement.

"Damn it, Alice, we can't solve the English puzzle you gave us." Yuantai complained.

"Sorry, Genta, I really want to participate in the puzzle." The little girl took out a pumpkin-shaped package. "Then Pumpkin Jack will give out the mysterious gifts~"

"Great!"

Looking at the candies being poured out of the package, the three little ones cheered.

"Speaking of which, why didn't Grandma Valentina come?" Ayumi asked while eating candy.

"Because Grandma Valentina had something urgent to deal with, but these candies are what she left for us."

Meanwhile, the wedding proceeds as planned, with all Metropolitan Police Department personnel on guard at the scene. Meanwhile, Conan encounters the grandfather-grandson duo of the Night Watchman and the Archer.

"Conan, where are you going?" The night watchman asked while driving the Fengxing.

"Let's go find Ms. Erenica first! I already know the truth about Pramya!"

"Okay, come up, you point the direction and I'll take you there." The night watchman carried Conan on his shoulders.

Seeing his great-grandfather driving Conan away, the archer drank two bottles of accelerator and called the postman to send him "a pair of leg strength" (acceleration letter). His legs moved faster than the motor, and he was able to keep up with the pace of the night watchman.

[Deer Head: If Brunel had this speed in the game, it would be a horror story.]

[Shadow of Time and Space: All sorts of fancy stuff.]

[Cowboy: Damn it, why hasn't the Roaring Man been weakened yet?]

[Hitter: After Granny Valentina enters the rankings, the chances of Miss Ivy being released have greatly increased, not to mention the addition of a Five-Nut Launcher.]

[Forward: Kuya, it's time to learn the Codex of Purity from Luca.]

[Prisoner: I knew this day would come.]

Finally, with Conan's guidance, the three of them arrived at where Erenica and the others were.

"Why did you come here?" Erenika was very surprised by the appearance of these people.

Conan adjusted his glasses and said, "I did something a little tricky when I kicked the pumpkin mask at the person behind you."
