Chapter 218

The police are probably worried that the criminal will attack the police here, which is why they have made so many precautions.

Conan was frowning and thinking when he suddenly heard Officer Shiratori's voice from the side:

"Lord Akaso, you've come. I was busy entertaining guests just now and didn't come to welcome you, please forgive me!"

"Officer Shiratori, you're too polite. Today is your sister's big day, just go about your business, don't worry about me."

Akaso Kaze waved his hand, scanned the room, and finally his gaze landed on the heroine of the banquet.

You have to say, Officer Shiratori's sister is actually quite good.

Seeing his gaze, Ninzaburo Shiratori couldn't help but twitch his face.

He prayed silently in his heart.

Please, don't let them take a liking to each other.

He quickly pulled Akaso Kaze into a corner and began to introduce the progress of the police over the past two days.

Conan sneakily followed behind to eavesdrop.

Akaso Kaze frowned: "So, you police still have no leads?"

"Yeah!" Ninzaburo Shiratori nodded.

"Although our First Investigation Division has mobilized a lot of manpower, the case happened a year ago after all, and it's very difficult to investigate further. Just organizing Tamotsu Nino's interpersonal relationships has consumed a lot of police resources."

"Up to now, our only progress is that, thanks to Lord Akaso's guidance, we have completely ruled out the suspicion of Director Odagiri and Toshiya."

Officer Shiratori said: "Lord Akaso, although there is still an hour before the engagement banquet officially starts, the person in charge of the guest list at the door told me that all the guests have arrived, so I would like to ask you to help see if there are any suspicious people here."

"Suspicious people?" Akaso Kaze nodded.

Actually, he had already found the handgun used as the murder weapon; the two souls were clinging to the gun, and he had already plucked them off and thrown them into his space.

The criminal's other arrangements had also been discovered by him one by one.

The current problem is who would use the handgun and these arrangements to try to deal with Miwako Sato.

Not far behind the two, Conan held his chin: "So that's it, the case of the two police officers killed the day before yesterday might be a follow-up to the Tamotsu Nino case from a year ago. Is the suspect someone from within the police force?"

Akaso Kaze looked around, and his eyebrows suddenly lifted.

His gaze landed on someone who was talking to Sara Shiratori.

Ninzaburo Shiratori smacked his lips.

"Lord Akaso, why do you keep staring at my sister?"

Akaso Kaze looked helpless.

It's really unexpected.

The dignified young master of the Shiratori family, Ninzaburo Shiratori, is actually a sister-complex fanatic.

You're actually making me curious now.

Akaso Kaze's lips curled up.

He walked with long strides toward Sara Shiratori.

Ninzaburo Shiratori followed quickly behind.

"Miss Sara, you look truly beautiful today."

Akaso Kaze said with a smile.

This wasn't just polite talk.

Sara Shiratori was wearing a white evening gown, and a precious pearl necklace hung around her fair neck.

Small rhinestone stars were carefully pinned into her long hair, which was coiled up. When the light hit them, they shimmered faintly without being dazzling; it felt very delicate and suited the girl very well.

"R-really? Thank you for the compliment, Lord Akaso."

Seeing Akaso Kaze, Sara Shiratori's eyes lit up, as if radiance was bursting forth from her body.

This Lord Onmyoji is now the number one topic of conversation for all the wealthy young ladies.

Handsome appearance, magical abilities.

Legend has it that he can even slay demons and destroy the world.

The more they hear about him, the more mysterious he feels.

It makes all these girls, who find real life a bit dull, full of curiosity.

Akaso Kaze didn't pay much attention to Sara Shiratori's expression and turned to ask the person next to her: "Who is this?"

"This is Dr. Kyosuke Kazato, a psychologist at the Beika Yakushino Hospital. We police often go to him for psychological counseling."

Ninzaburo Shiratori, who was behind him, introduced.

Seeing Akaso Kaze, Kyosuke Kazato was clearly a bit nervous.

After saying a few simple words, he immediately turned and left.

Watching his back, Akaso Kaze's gaze turned cold.

"That's right, it's him." He turned and said to Officer Shiratori.

"What? It's him?"

Ninzaburo Shiratori was taken aback.

"Go and check, he should have a grudge against the doctor who died back then, and he is also the psychologist for the two police officers who were shot to death..."

"Okay, I'll go check immediately."

The matter was of great importance, so Ninzaburo Shiratori immediately forgot about his sister and turned to leave in a hurry.

Akaso Kaze frowned, thinking about how to handle this case.

Although he could determine that the criminal was this person, he lacked the key evidence to convict him.

And since the other party is a psychologist, trying to use hypnosis or something would probably be difficult.

Perhaps it's time to use some schemes.

"Lord Akaso, are you and my brother working on some case?"

A delicate voice from the side reminded Akaso Kaze.

There was still a girl here.

Akaso Kaze smiled and explained it to her.

Sara Shiratori's eyes lit up immediately.

"Lord Akaso is truly amazing, did you use divination magic? This is my first time seeing you solve a case with my own eyes."

"Please, could you take me to see those traps and guns?"

The girl clasped her hands in front of her chest, making a bowing gesture.

Her expression was full of anticipation.

Akaso Kaze thought about it; anyway, there was nothing else to do, so while Ninzaburo Shiratori was searching for evidence, it wouldn't be a problem to take the girl to see.

"Then follow me."

Akaso Kaze led the way, and Sara Shiratori followed closely behind.

A thrilling sense of excitement suddenly surged in her heart.

【Ding, Sara Shiratori has developed an affinity for you, current affinity level is 3.】

Huh?

How is it already 3 from the start?

This is too strange.

Akaso Kaze was confused.

Could the system be malfunctioning again?

Akaso Kaze shook his head, didn't think too much about it, and led the girl outside.
