Chapter 1029: The happy Matsunaka Yuriko

Ai looked up at the bronze statue and slowly adjusted her position: "When the horns on the bull's head disappear and the tail becomes the head... looking from this position, it fits quite well. In that case... is it the Western Angel?"

Ayumi said excitedly: "You're amazing, Ai!"

"But," Mitsuhiko secretly glanced at Matsunaka Yuriko and interjected weakly, "I still think the East Mansion is the most suspicious... Brother Akaso, what do you think?"

"East Mansion? Wait a minute..." Genta suddenly slipped and hung onto the statue's tail in fright, "Help, help me, Brother Akaso!"

"Really..."

Akaso Kaze withdrew his gaze from the outside and helplessly helped Genta down.

"Alright, I've already checked. There is no mechanism on the bull's horns. Besides, 'when the horns on the bull's head disappear and the tail becomes the head'—this sentence and the idea that the bull's horns contain something are two completely different things."

"Then where do we go now?" Mitsuhiko asked expectantly.

"Nowhere," Akaso Kaze decided, "everyone go back to rest now and wait until the security system 880 is deactivated during the day before acting."

"Ah?" Mitsuhiko was full of disappointment, "But..."

"Mr. Tokei," Conan shouted directly to the outside, "just in case, shouldn't you at least explain the security facilities here to us first?"

"I'm sorry," Tokei walked out from behind a pillar, "although it is my duty to protect your safety, I cannot disclose the specific security system."

"That's also your duty, right?"

Akaso Kaze shook his head.

It was certainly no problem not to tell outsiders about the security system, but for them, who were here to solve the riddle, it was too dangerous.

Fortunately, with him here, he could take care of everyone at any time.

In the North Mansion bedroom, although Genta and the others were still very unwilling, they still went to bed under Akaso Kaze's urging.

Akaso Kaze returned to his room, and after lying down for a while, someone knocked on the door.

Akaso Kaze opened the door and saw the three girls: Haibara Ai, Ayumi, and Yuriko.

"Brother Akaso, can we stay here with you for a while?" Ayumi asked, looking up with her little face.

"Of course you can." Akaso Kaze nodded.

Haibara Ai and Ayumi didn't stand on ceremony; as soon as they entered the room, they climbed onto Akaso Kaze's bed and crawled under the opened quilt.

Yuriko was still a bit shy, but was pulled in by Ayumi.

The three little lolis occupied his bed, so Akaso Kaze could only lie on the very edge.

Right next to Matsunaka Yuriko.

Matsunaka Yuriko's little face was flushed, and she shyly stole a glance at Akaso Kaze.

Ayumi said: "Brother Akaso, Yuriko hasn't smiled even once until now. Can you hurry up and help her solve her great-grandfather's riddle?"

Akaso Kaze turned his face and looked at Matsunaka Yuriko, asking: "Do you want to solve the riddle as soon as possible?"

Matsunaka Yuriko shook her head silently.

If it were solved, Brother Akaso would have completed the commission, and it would be very difficult to find such an opportunity to be together in the future.

Akaso Kaze used his Void Eye to look at Conan, who was on the bed in the large room, struggling with the map of the Angel Mansion.

Trying to solve the riddle with just one code, even Conan was at his wit's end.

"Perhaps tomorrow we can learn more about this Mr. Isegawa Ganzo," Akaso Kaze said to Matsunaka Yuriko, "if we can know the thoughts of this 'Bull,' it will definitely help with solving the riddle."

"Great-grandfather, he..." Matsunaka Yuriko said in a low mood: "He must have been very lonely, right? No one could ever understand him, and no one visited him when he passed away..."

"Yuriko..." Ayumi had been a bit sleepy, but hearing this, she looked back at the slightly sobbing Matsunaka Yuriko and cheered herself up, saying:

"Don't worry, Yuriko, Brother Akaso is very amazing; he will definitely be able to help you solve your great-grandfather's riddle."

"Mm," Matsunaka Yuriko gave Akaso Kaze a smile, "Thank you, Brother Akaso."

Akaso Kaze smiled and touched the girl's little face.

Matsunaka Yuriko felt a very warm sensation.

Light snoring came from the side.

Akaso Kaze looked up and saw that Haibara Ai and Ayumi had actually fallen asleep.

"Brother Akaso, can I sleep here?" Matsunaka Yuriko said in a low voice.

"Of course you can." Akaso Kaze touched Matsunaka Yuriko's little head and said gently.

Matsunaka Yuriko slowly moved her little body and leaned into Akaso Kaze's arms.

Akaso Kaze reached out and hugged her.

Matsunaka Yuriko felt extremely happy.

She had been without parents since she was little and had never experienced such warmth.

If only she could be with Brother Akaso forever.

Matsunaka Yuriko couldn't help but think in her heart.

The next morning, after breakfast, Akaso Kaze led everyone to continue investigating the Angel Mansion.

Compared to the night, the daytime was indeed much safer.

Genta yawned and followed behind Akaso Kaze: "I didn't sleep at all last night... there are so many bulls here, why don't we check them all?"

"We don't have that much time, but we can take a look when we pass by," Conan said.
