Chapter 167

Akaso Kaze didn't wait for Miyoshi Asako to finish and shook his head to interrupt: "Alright, Miss Miyoshi Asako, you don't need to quibble. Although you used a magician's means to destroy the evidence, you should know who I am."

"I am the nemesis of evil, the strongest Onmyoji in Tokyo."

"Do you know who told me that you are the murderer?"

Miyoshi Asako's face was pale, and she remained silent.

Akaso Kaze smiled lightly and continued: "It was your teacher, Mr. Kujukuri Motoyasu himself! He told me this personally."

As Akaso Kaze finished speaking, it was as if a cold wind blew through the living room, and everyone felt a chill on their bodies.

"You said the teacher said it himself?" Miyoshi Asako still argued, "How is that possible? The teacher is already dead."

"Who said the dead can't speak?"

Akaso Kaze said, activating his Space Eye.

Miyoshi Asako was stunned.

Her vision actually saw herself, just like looking in a mirror.

But unlike in a mirror, a small soul, a soul that looked exactly like Kujukuri Motoyasu, was sitting on her head, clutching her hair tightly.

"Look for yourself, Mr. Motoyasu has been clinging to the murderer!"

"Te, teacher? How could this be?" Miyoshi Asako's face turned pale instantly.

"Motoyasu, he, he hasn't gone to the other world yet? And, why did Asako..."

Kujukuri Nanae covered her mouth with her hand, unable to hide her shock, "Lord Akaso, can you let me see Motoyasu?"

Akaso Kaze nodded and gave her, Hyakuchi Nobunobu, and Kujukuri Fumino each a Space Eye.

I am an Onmyoji, after all.

Isn't it normal to create a Yin-Yang eye or something so people can see souls?

This is also good for his reputation.

Kujukuri Nanae was the first to see the scene clearly, her gaze falling on Kujukuri Motoyasu's soul, and she exclaimed "Husband!"

Hyakuchi Nobunobu widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

And Kujukuri Fumino also ran to Miyoshi Asako's side with red eyes, her little hands grabbing at Asako's head, her mouth calling "Daddy."

Only her little hands passed easily through the soul, and she couldn't grab anything.

Miyoshi Asako's gaze was dull, as if she had lost her soul.

She didn't react at all, letting the mother and daughter cry and howl around her.

"Husband, why are you grabbing Asako's hair? Is it really her who harmed you? How could this be?"

"Daddy, why don't you speak?" Fumino also cried.

Kujukuri Motoyasu was dull; souls outside are like this, a bit silly.

Akaso Kaze extended his Space Hand, plucked a few strands of Miyoshi Asako's hair, and put them into the space along with the soul.

Kujukuri Motoyasu's eyes immediately became lively.

With the improvement of Akaso Kaze's level, especially the expansion of the soul space, the souls inside also possessed higher intelligence.

Kujukuri Motoyasu looked at Asako and suddenly knelt down, his face showing a look of repentance.

Seeing him like this, Miyoshi Asako's mood seemed to calm down a bit.

She smiled bitterly and looked at Akaso Kaze with an inexplicable meaning in her eyes.

"I really didn't expect that what I did would attract the attention of so many capable people. First, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro came to check the scene, and now I've even met such a brilliant Onmyoji like you."

"Sure enough, people really shouldn't do any bad things..."

Miyoshi Asako paused slightly when she said this, then said:

"I'm sorry, Hyakuchi, the Masked Rider that Fumino likes to watch is about to start; could you please accompany Fumino to the guest room to watch cartoons?"

"Huh? Okay."

Hyakuchi Nobunobu seemed to understand something.

He nodded and reached out to pull Kujukuri Fumino.

Kujukuri Fumino had red eyes: "I don't want to watch cartoons! Daddy! I saw Daddy! I want to accompany Daddy!"

Seeing this, Kujukuri Nanae hurriedly coaxed and deceived her.

Hyakuchi Nobunobu finally took Fumino away, and Miyoshi Asako continued:

"Since Fumino has left and what I did has been discovered by you, then I will tell it from beginning to end."

"That's right, the person who killed the teacher Kujukuri Motoyasu is me!"

Kujukuri Nanae exclaimed and covered her mouth: "Is it really you? Asako, why did you do that?!"

"The reason? The reason is to avenge my dead brother!"

Miyoshi Asako looked at Kujukuri Motoyasu's soul with complex eyes, filled with hatred.

"My brother, Kinoshita Yoshiro, was killed by the teacher Kujukuri Motoyasu!"

"You mean Yoshiro?" Kujukuri Nanae knew this person, "But, didn't Yoshiro die in an accident during practice?"

Miyoshi Asako smiled disdainfully.

"An accident? How could that be an accident?!"

"My brother was practicing an escape magic, but I saw with my own eyes that Kujukuri Motoyasu tampered with the handcuffs my brother was using for practice!"

"It was because of that that my brother couldn't open the handcuffs and died in a so-called 'accident'!"

"What? Husband, is what Asako said true?"

Kujukuri Nanae looked at Kujukuri Motoyasu's soul, clearly finding it hard to believe that her husband would do such a thing.

Kujukuri Motoyasu's eyes seemed to move, but he didn't refute a word, just knelt in the space, clearly defaulting.

"How about it? You are all surprised, right? Who would have thought that this world-famous magic master would commit the act of killing his disciple!"

"And the reason is just because my brother's talent was too amazing, and he worried that after my brother grew up, he would threaten his position! Hahaha! What a ridiculous reason?"

Miyoshi Asako looked a bit manic.

Hearing this, Akaso Kaze couldn't help but frown, and his gaze toward Kujukuri Motoyasu was also a bit disgusted.

Killing someone just because he worried that others would surpass him?

This person really deserves it.

Seeing this situation, Kujukuri Nanae also sat down on the ground dejectedly.

Actually, she had had suspicions before, but she just didn't want to believe it.

Kujukuri Motoyasu's soul suddenly moved, making a gesture of begging for mercy, his mouth moving constantly, but he couldn't make a sound.

Akaso Kaze curled his lip.

He knew about this, so he spoke for Kujukuri Motoyasu:

"He said that being killed by you is deserved, and he hopes you can forgive him for the mistakes he made. In addition, he also asks you not to hurt Fumino; Fumino is innocent."

Kujukuri Nanae exclaimed again, looking at Miyoshi Asako, her eyes changing again and again.

She actually wanted to kill her own daughter.

Thinking of what happened when she entered the door just now, she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

If Lord Akaso hadn't picked up Fumino and entered the house at that time, but instead let her daughter and Asako leave, she didn't know what would have happened.

She couldn't help but look at Akaso Kaze gratefully.

【Ding, Kujukuri Nanae has developed a favorable impression of you; current favorability is 1.】

Akaso Kaze was already accustomed to such things.

Miyoshi Asako still had a cold expression.

"Forgive him? Sorry, unless my brother can be resurrected, otherwise, I won't forgive him."

"As for Fumino... don't worry. Perhaps I really had the idea of killing her before, but now I've given up. With Lord Akaso protecting her, I have no chance, right?"

"Speaking of which, I really feel sorry for Fumino, letting her taste this feeling of losing a loved one."

"That feeling really doesn't feel good."

Miyoshi Asako's voice got lower and lower, and everyone around remained silent.
