Chapter 1041: Kazuha Toyama wants to see a magic show

"Kato, you guy! You."

"I'm sorry, Chiba."

Akira Kato let Chiba grab his collar, tears streaming down his eyes as he choked back sobs.

"I couldn't think of any other way, to get revenge on him for stealing my woman. When I was away on a business trip abroad, I already knew that woman was gradually growing cold toward me."

"So when she said she was going to marry Nakamoto, I wasn't that devastated, but when I found Nakamoto, I realized it was that guy who was playing tricks. Originally, I hadn't intended to take action."

Kaze Akaso's expression shifted; he didn't continue to speak, walking over to Ayumi and the others to watch Masked Rider together.

The world of adults is, after all, not as simple as that of children.

At the Metropolitan Police Department, after finishing the statement, Kaze Akaso became familiar with the veteran officer leading the team this time.

The veteran officer was named Chosuke Takagi, two years senior to Megure, experienced and a seasoned hand at handling cases.

It was the veteran officer's first time working with Kaze Akaso, and he had a profound understanding of Kaze Akaso, who had such a huge reputation in the department.

"Is that so? Officer Chosuke is being dispatched to Tottori Prefecture?"

When leaving, Chosuke Takagi and Kaze Akaso chatted at the entrance of the parking lot.

"Yes, I heard it's because of a group of thieves operating as a syndicate, and they've even committed attempted murder. It just so happens my hometown is right around there."

Kaze Akaso suddenly thought of Takagi's worry from just a moment ago and couldn't help but want to laugh.

That guy couldn't even figure out who was actually being transferred, yet he was worrying blindly.

"However, it's truly amazing. Lord Akaso found so many detailed problems in just the short time he entered the house."

The veteran officer squinted, quite moved, and said, "Not just the clock, even the shoelaces could be noticed. Lord Akaso is truly worthy of his reputation."

Kaze Akaso laughed, "Actually, I used a divination spell, so..."

"However, there is one point: although the discarded mountaineering bag was indeed found in the Teimuzu River in the end, and the car was indeed parked in a nearby parking lot, these premises are established on the condition that Chiba did not lie to cover for his friend."

The veteran officer kindly reminded him: "If Chiba and that man were in cahoots, the evidence should have been handled more properly. Lord Akaso, you trust Chiba too much."

"Has the officer suspected Officer Chiba?" Kaze Akaso smiled.

He couldn't exactly say that he was already familiar with these people at the Metropolitan Police Department, could he? Trusting Chiba was the premise.

"This police business," the veteran officer said with deep melancholy, "is inherently a hateful profession where one must start by doubting no matter how good a person is, even if the relationship is close and there is trust. Chiba, who is currently interrogating that man, must be feeling it deeply."

Kaze Akaso watched silently as the veteran officer waved his hand to say goodbye and left.

It would be too pathetic if there wasn't anyone completely worth trusting. He was willing to trust the people around him, even if it turned out like Chiba later, requiring more time to find the truth.

But then again, someone like Akira Kato couldn't fool him, because he still had a soul sitting on top of his head.

"What? You're coming to Tokyo to see a magic show?"

The summer vacation hadn't even started for a few days when Kaze Akaso suddenly received a call from Kazuha Toyama.

"Togo Hoshikawa's Fantasy Magic Show?"

"Yeah, I want to experience the mysterious atmosphere and see Akaso-san while I'm at it."

The girl's voice stirred Kaze Akaso's longing, so he readily agreed.

What Kazuha wanted to see was the first week of summer vacation's "Togo Hoshikawa's Fantasy Magic Show," and she rushed from Osaka to Tokyo early that morning.

Kaze Akaso went to pick her up personally.

Kaze Akaso had followed the magic circle, but he wasn't very familiar with Togo Hoshikawa, only knowing that he was as famous as another recently popular magician, Ichizo Sanada.

The performance theater was unexpectedly lively; one could tell Togo Hoshikawa's popularity from the cheers at the scene, and the performance was, of course, also spectacular.

However, Kaze Akaso lost interest after watching for only a little while.

Then he held Kazuha Toyama and began to tease her.

Kazuha Toyama half-resisted and half-yielded.

She had come all the way from Osaka to Tokyo, wasn't it mainly for Kaze Akaso?

After the performance, Kaze Akaso and Kazuha Toyama had just walked to the door when they ran into the Mouri family.

910 Togo Hoshikawa very enthusiastically invited Kaze Akaso to visit the Masakage house together.

Under Kazuha's expectant gaze, Kaze Akaso agreed.

The Masakage house.

Master Masakage's 3 disciples came to visit the Masakage house at the same time.

Besides the young and handsome Togo Hoshikawa, there was also a bearded uncle with sunglasses and a high hairline, Riki Handan, and a fashionable lady with thick lips and straight bangs who looked like a witch; it was said she was a very famous magician overseas, Tenko Himegamiya.

"Welcome, welcome," Lady Masakage said very enthusiastically, "It's been 10 years since I've seen Togo and Tenko. Who are these people behind you?"

Seeing Ran and the others, Lady Masakage was stunned for a moment.

"Oh," Riki Handan said with a smile, introducing them, "They are special guests for tonight."

"Sorry to bother you, ma'am." Ran and the others greeted her sweetly.

"Welcome, let me go buy enough ingredients for dinner."

"No need, we've already prepared everything."

The group carried the ingredients into the entrance hall. ===== CHAPTER 1043 =====
