Chapter 1002: Lord Akaso, I Am Here to Repay the Favor

"Did you forget that I am an Onmyoji? I have already found the earring."

Akaso Kaze took out an earring in a plastic bag and finally looked at Akechi Eri.

"Just now, Tokyo has already found the information. Suzuka Sakurako, who committed suicide 5 years ago, was originally named Ming Yingzi. Before being adopted by the Suzuka family, she had an older sister. Your surname is not Akechi but Ming. This is your motive for murder, right?"

Fine snow began to fall again in the village. In front of the Kimono Sleeve God shrine, the bare hundred-year-old cherry tree seemed to have bloomed with brilliant cherry blossoms.

Akaso Kaze accompanied Akechi Eri to the tree again.

"When my sister committed suicide, I was studying in Boston. I didn't know until a year later," Akechi Eri looked sentimentally at the snowflakes falling between the branches.

"My cowardly sister was actually framed for drug trafficking and finally walked down the path of suicide. Why didn't she tell me? I am her sister, the only relative she had in this world. And just like that, I didn't even see her for the last time."

"Those two people were too bullying. Shouldn't they be killed?"

"Does killing make you feel comfortable?" Akaso Kaze had no way to answer, only saying in a deep voice, "Killing is such a terrible thing. Do you really have no fear at all? Miss Sakurako surely wouldn't want you, her only sister, to bear this sin."

"Lord Akaso, if you had been there five years ago, it would have been great."

Akechi Eri's expression was dim.

Akaso Kaze watched Akechi Eri silently.

He sighed, reached out, took two souls from her head, and threw them into his space.

"Rest assured, I know you have already repented, and they were indeed guilty. I will deal with the earring for you, and the rest is up to you."

Watching his departing back, warm tears flowed from the corners of Akechi Eri's eyes.

"Lord Akaso, thank you!"

Akaso Kaze returned to Tokyo. Just as he arrived home and put away his luggage, someone rang the doorbell.

Opening the door downstairs, Akechi Eri was standing at the entrance.

"Lord Akaso, I, I am here to repay the favor."

Her big eyes were sparkling.

"I am the Keeper of Time."

"Foolish woman who dares to profane the passage of time, as punishment, at this moment when you were born into the world, I use an invisible sword to stop your time. Sincerely, the Keeper of Time."

At the Akaso Kaze Onmyoji Office, it was just time for school to end when Conan brought in a client.

"Is this a threatening letter of a murder notice?"

"Yes."

Sitting opposite Akaso Kaze was a simple and honest middle-aged man who worked as a butler for a wealthy family. He was about 40 years old, had a high hairline, and a heavy, gorilla-like face. He introduced himself as Aome Gakudo.

"Starting two years ago, every year when it gets close to the lady's birthday, this kind of anonymous letter without a sender would be sent."

Akaso Kaze frowned slightly. "Starting two years ago, has nothing strange happened?"

"Yes, Lord Akaso. The previous birthday parties were all safe and sound, but because the lady and the guests mentioned this letter, fewer and fewer guests come to the birthday party every year."

"So that's how it is," Akaso Kaze said. "You hope to find the sender?"

Butler Aome said, "Today is the lady's birthday party. If possible, I would like to invite you to attend the lady's 50th birthday party and see if the sender is among them."

Akaso Kaze pondered for a while. "Even if you find them, it's hard to convict them. It's just sending a few anonymous letters."

"That's why we asked for your help. I have already brought the commission fee." The butler hurriedly took out a check and handed it to Akaso Kaze with both hands.

Akaso Kaze nodded and asked: "What time does the lady's birthday party start?"

"The party is at 6 o'clock tonight, so we have to go now," the butler wiped his sweat. "Sorry to trouble you, Lord Akaso."

The butler went down to prepare the car. Akaso Kaze looked at Conan in confusion.

"How did you bring the client here?"

Conan said: "Uncle hasn't received a commission for a long time, and I haven't reasoned through a case for a long time. I heard about this, so I called them in your name..."

Akaso Kaze looked at Conan with an unpleasant expression.

Actually calling in my name.

Conan gave a dry laugh. "Anyway, it's a commission, and the money is not bad. And if you don't want to, just say it was a child's prank." ===== CHAPTER 1004 =====
