Chapter 1011

Light-side Teigo lowered his head and said, "When Lord Akaso arrived, I knew this would be the result, but there was no other way. I waited for three full years for a rainy day to avoid being seen while setting up my trap. I had to go through with it."

Light-side Teigo was taken away by the police.

The butler walked over with a look of gratitude.

"Lord Akaso, thank you so much. If it weren't for your arrangements, my lady would have been killed."

"Huh?" Conan and Inspector Megure were both stunned.

"Where is your lady?" Akaso Kaze asked.

"My lady was terrified and felt a bit dizzy, so she's finding a doctor to see her."

Akaso Kaze nodded.

Inspector Megure asked, "Lord Akaso, this is..."

Akaso Kaze smiled and snapped his fingers.

The bloody corpse on the ground vanished instantly.

"This was an illusion I created using Onmyodo arts, so... it was merely attempted murder."

Inspector Megure and Conan were both dumbfounded.

Conan felt like crying again.

What on earth did I just busy myself with?

I deduced nothing but loneliness.

At Mount Asama, Akaso Kaze's luxury car pulled up in front of an exquisite two-story villa.

Although the villa wasn't particularly large, it had a great sense of depth.

Not far away was a lake with clear, ripple-free water, and the surrounding green trees and red leaves made it look like an oil painting—clean and fresh.

Akaso Kaze got out of the car and fell in love with the villa at first sight: the dark blue roof, the white brick and wood courtyard walls, and the independent viewing balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows with a wide field of view.

It looked perfect as a vacation cottage, and the space was more than enough for many people to live in.

Standing on the viewing balcony, the charming mountain and water scenery was in full view, and one could also see several other villas of similar style; if one lived here, there would be no need to worry about it being desolate.

This villa was a gift to Akaso Kaze from a wealthy client.

Akaso Kaze looked not far away and saw a tennis court; it seemed to be called the Karuizawa Tennis Court.

He decided to go over there for a stroll.

Splash!

The sky suddenly began to rain.

Outside the Karuizawa Tennis Court, Akaso Kaze opened his umbrella.

A young man holding an umbrella passed by.

He was wearing sportswear, looked to be in his thirties, had his hair tied back, and his chin was covered in stubble, giving him the air of a mature uncle, though he seemed to have something on his mind.
