Chapter 110

Inside the room, Akaso Kaze held the plump Kudo Yukiko on the bed.

Anyway, the door was locked, so he wasn't worried about anyone breaking in.

Fortunately, there are no micro-cameras in this world, otherwise many things wouldn't be possible.

Akaso Kaze pointed to the temple of the glasses under the door crack and said deliberately: "Madam, your request for me to investigate Yusaku-san's infidelity is as I said before."

"The number of women Kudo Yusaku-san maintains a relationship with is not small, and they are of all ages. As for whether there is a Kudo Shin-ji or Kudo Shin-san, I haven't found out yet..."

"Wha, what?"

Conan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, felt like he had been struck by lightning.

"Infidelity investigation?"

"Father maintains relationships with many women? Of all ages?"

"And what Kudo Shin-ji, Kudo Shin-san... I'm Kudo Shin-ichi!"

Conan felt his worldview collapsing.

No wonder Mom had to meet Akaso-san secretly.

It turned out to be because of investigating Father's infidelity.

This matter really shouldn't be discussed publicly.

From the bug, a whimpering sound came, as if Yukiko was wiping away tears.

However, there was a strange sense of suppression.

The inexperienced Conan didn't pay attention.

Conan certainly knew Kudo Yusaku; besides being able to write detective novels, his style was comparable to Mouri Kogoro's.

Saying he was unfaithful definitely wouldn't be a lie.

"Akaso-san, he treats me like this, I don't want to live anymore, wuwuwu."

"Madam Yukiko, don't be so sad. If you don't consider yourself, you have to consider Shin-ichi. If he lost such a good mother as you, what would he do?"

The voice of Akaso Kaze persuading her came from the bug.

Hearing him say this, Conan felt guilty.

I didn't expect Akaso-san to be such a good person.

I really shouldn't have doubted him.

He is so handsome, so rich, has very powerful influence and prestige, and is kind and gentle to people. If he were with Mother...

Conan hurriedly shook his little head to dispel this rebellious thought.

"Akaso-san, I have a request."

In the room, Yukiko seemed to have returned to normal.

"What request, Madam, just say it."

"Please keep this matter from Shin-ichi, that is, Conan."

"I don't want him to bear the heaviness he shouldn't have at his age."

Conan curled his lip and didn't say anything.

It seems my identity was long known by Akaso Kaze.

Thinking that I was still acting like a child in front of him, I feel very embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Madam, I will continue to keep an eye on Yusaku for you, and I will contact you in time if there is any situation."

"Yeah, sorry to trouble you, Akaso-san. I will also return to Japan often; those materials are better handed over in person."

Inside the room, the two flirted and found reasons for future meetings.

After sending Kudo Yukiko away, Akaso Kaze was about to close the door when Conan suddenly appeared in front of him.

He bowed solemnly.

"I'm sorry, Akaso-san, I misunderstood you."

"I formally apologize to you."

"You are a true gentleman."

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up slightly, and he touched Conan's little head.

"It's okay, I really like helping people."

Especially your mother.

The rest of the trip was very pleasant.

As for the sightseeing process, it was nothing more than visiting some famous spots in Sapporo and experiencing different regional customs.

When the journey was about to end, Akaso Kaze received a commission...

"Moshi moshi, I am the Yin-Yang Master Akaso Kaze."

"You have a case for me? Why not find a detective?"

"Oh, you are a detective? Koshimizu Natsuki?"

Akaso Kaze thought for a moment.

This seems to be a female detective who killed someone later.

"What kind of case is it?"

"The Lavender Villa Case?"

Akaso Kaze frowned.

He only knew the general idea of this matter.

However, a female detective—this is his first time meeting one.

Anyway, there's nothing else to do, so it's just right to go and have some fun.

Lavender Villa, it sounds very romantic, doesn't it?

"Okay, send the address, and I'll go over tomorrow."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

The female voice on the other end was very pleasant.

It gives one the feeling that the trip will be worthwhile.

Lavender Villa in Kochi Prefecture and Hokkaido are literally at opposite ends of the country.

Akaso Kaze took a plane and spent two hours to get there.

As soon as he got off the plane and walked out of the airport, a girl with tea-colored short hair wearing a high school skirt walked up.

The girl's face was extremely pure, her big eyes were sparkling, and her fair, tender face was covered in a blush.

"Are you the Yin-Yang Master Akaso Kaze-sama? My name is Koshimizu Natsuki."

Koshimizu Natsuki's little heart was pounding.

So handsome.

I didn't expect the Yin-Yang Master to be so young; his handsomeness is even more excessive than the legends.

[Ding, Koshimizu Natsuki has developed a favorable impression of you; current favorability is 1.]

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up slightly.

My damn top-tier charm, it really is invincible.

Akaso Kaze looked at the girl in front of him.

Very pure and bright, and with a wisdom unique to detectives, definitely not an ordinary vase.

The only drawback is the high school uniform that only slightly bulges.

Having just seen the very well-endowed Yukiko, Koshimizu Natsuki formed a sharp contrast.

Koshimizu Natsuki felt Akaso Kaze's gaze and somewhat self-consciously put her arms across her chest.

"Akaso-sama, let's take a taxi."

The girl's voice was very low.

She had just graduated from high school and didn't have much money, so Akaso Kaze didn't mention the reward to her.

Akaso Kaze smiled, and before he could speak, a person looking like a butler walked over and bowed respectfully.

"Akaso-sama, I was sent by the Suzuki family; your car is ready."

With his current power and connections, where would he need to take a taxi?

With just one phone call, Suzuki Tomoko had arranged everything for him.

Akaso Kaze nodded and beckoned to Koshimizu Natsuki.

"Let's go, Detective-san, you can introduce the case to me properly on the way."

Kochi Prefecture is a tourist destination, and the scenery along the way was charming.

Especially when the luxury car arrived at Lavender Villa.

The whole villa was surrounded by a sea of flowers, as if in a painting.

"This villa is really nice." Akaso Kaze praised.

The butler sitting in the passenger seat leading the way nodded.

"Akaso-sama is right, this is the villa with the best scenery nearby, but unfortunately, a murder case occurred a while ago, and I heard the owner of the villa intends to sell it."

Akaso Kaze nodded.

He turned to Koshimizu Natsuki and asked: "According to what you said on the road, the eldest daughter of this family, Miss Tanaka, died half a year ago, and the investigation result at the time was suicide."

"As a result, half a year later, that is, recently, a high school detective came and suspected that the maid of this family killed the young lady, and even found evidence. Now even the police think so?"

Koshimizu Natsuki nodded and said anxiously: "The suspected Mizuguchi Kana is my high school classmate. Although she has always insisted that she is not the murderer and did not kill anyone, the police have been suspecting and interrogating her."

"Akaso-sama must save Kana; I know her personality. If she is framed as a murderer, I'm afraid she will do something extreme."

The butler in front turned around and said: "This case has indeed caused a lot of controversy here, but it seems a bit inappropriate to trouble Akaso-sama to make a special trip for a small maid. One commission from Akaso-sama costs tens of millions."

Koshimizu Natsuki nervously twisted her hands, "Akaso-sama, I know your fees are very expensive, but I just graduated from high school and haven't saved any money yet."

The girl bit her lip and said: "As long as I can save my friend, I am willing to work for you for free to pay off the debt."

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly and said lightly: "You all underestimate me too much."

"I am a Yin-Yang Master known as the nemesis of evil; how could I stand by and watch someone die?"

"Whether it's a maid or a rich young lady, they are equally important in my eyes."

Koshimizu Natsuki looked at Akaso Kaze's handsome face, her eyes full of admiration.

So handsome, so cool, truly perfect.

Simply the man of my dreams!

[Ding, Koshimizu Natsuki has developed a favorable impression of you; current favorability is 2.]

The butler in front also said admiringly: "Sorry, Akaso-sama is indeed not an ordinary person; I spoke too much just now."

"Oh, why does it seem like there's someone on the cliff by the sea?"

The butler's words turned Akaso Kaze and Koshimizu Natsuki's gaze outside the window.

From afar, they saw a girl in a maid outfit walking toward the cliff by the sea, not knowing if she was looking at the sea or seeking death.

"Oh no, it seems to be Mizuguchi Kana." Koshimizu Natsuki said anxiously: "She wouldn't do anything stupid, would she!"

"Drive over quickly and take a look."

Without Akaso Kaze saying more, the butler had already directed the driver to drive over.

Mizuguchi Kana walked toward the cliff by the sea with a heart like dead ashes; the experiences of the past few days were the darkest days of her life.

She no longer had the motivation to live, but she felt sorry for her good friend, whom she had called for help earlier.

Just as Mizuguchi Kana was preparing to find relief, a shout came from far behind: "Kana, wait, don't jump!"

Mizuguchi Kana turned her head and saw her good friend getting out of a car with a tall, handsome man and running toward the cliff.

Mizuguchi Kana was in tears.

"Koshimizu, I'm sorry, I can't hold on anymore."
