Chapter 306: Live at my place, we can play together

Inspector Megure greeted Akaso Kaze enthusiastically as soon as he saw him.

Then he asked eagerly: "Lord Akaso, I presume you already know the murderer and the modus operandi."

Akaso Kaze touched his chin, "Inspector Megure, Onmyoji divination requires the consumption of magic power, you know."

Hearing his words, Sera Masumi had a headache.

Didn't you already know who the murderer was? Why waste magic power?

This is a typical charlatan scamming for money.

Inspector Megure, however, was not discouraged at all. It wasn't his first time dealing with Akaso Kaze.

This Onmyoji was actually quite easy to talk to, and his relationship with him was also quite good.

He chuckled: "Lord Akaso, you know that our Metropolitan Police Department's budget is limited, but if you have any other requests, we will definitely help you achieve them if we can."

"Is that so? Alright then." Akaso Kaze smiled.

"We originally came here to eat at the cake buffet, but who knew it was full, this..."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Inspector Megure patted his chest and agreed.

Then he immediately turned and ordered Takagi, "Immediately seal off the cake buffet restaurant. Keep only the service staff and the pastry chefs; persuade everyone else to leave. I suspect there is evidence of a murder case there."

Huh? Can you even do that?

Sera Masumi was dumbfounded.

Is this guy an Inspector?

He couldn't be the Onmyoji's lackey, could he?

He actually cleared out all the guests at the cake buffet just because of one sentence from Akaso Kaze?

Takagi didn't hesitate at all and walked toward the front desk with his men.

In any case, the guests wouldn't suffer any losses; the hotel would refund their money, and they would all essentially have had a free meal.

He figured no one would have any objections.

Even if some important figure felt they had lost face, if they heard it was the request of the Onmyoji Akaso Kaze, they would likely leave.

No one would go up against him just to eat a piece of cake.

Seeing Inspector Megure being so decisive, Akaso Kaze nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at the middle-aged woman who said there was someone on the roof.

"Mrs. Hirukawa, I am the Onmyoji Akaso Kaze. I already know what you did. Confess voluntarily, and I can let Kamizumi Sadao's soul apologize to you solemnly."

Huh?

Kamizumi Sadao's soul apologizing?

Sera Masumi had a headache.

You're trying to fool ghosts with that, aren't you?

Kamizumi Sadao was smashed into a meat patty; where would there be any soul, let alone an apology?

"Wuu wuu, wuu wuu, Lord Akaso, is what you said true?"

Mrs. Hirukawa covered her face and cried.

"Of course it's true. Not only will I make him apologize, but I will also give him a harsh lesson, making him spend his future in regret, so that your parents can rest in peace."

Akaso Kaze said calmly.

"I, I confess, I am the one who killed Kamizumi Sadao. The method I used was..."

Mrs. Hirukawa wiped her tears, raised her head, and began to blabber on.

Huh?

She really confessed?

Sera Masumi's eyeballs were about to fall out.

"He is quite magical, isn't he?"

A lonely voice came from the side.

Sera Masumi turned her head to look.

Conan was standing next to her with his hands in his pockets, his face full of helplessness.

"It is truly our sorrow to be born in the same era as Akaso Kaze."

The brat's voice carried a sense of vicissitudes that didn't match his age.

Sensing Sera Masumi's strange gaze, Conan suddenly reacted.

He changed his face as if he were changing masks, instantly revealing a very childish, very innocent, and shy smile.

Scratching the back of his head, he said: "Haha, I learned this from Uncle Mouri."

After Conan finished speaking, he hopped and skipped toward Akaso Kaze.

While running, he cheered childishly: "We get to eat cake this time!"

After Mrs. Hirukawa confessed, Akaso Kaze took her into an empty room.

After a long while, Mrs. Hirukawa walked out covering her mouth...

She bowed deeply to Akaso Kaze and followed the police away calmly.

Akaso Kaze then took Ran, Sonoko, Conan, and Sera Masumi to the cake buffet on the 2nd floor.

The five of them sat at a table.

Akaso Kaze sat in the middle, with Ran on his left and Sonoko on his right.

Conan and Sera Masumi sat opposite them.

A circle of pastry chefs and service staff surrounded them.

They were there specifically to serve them.

"Eating cake like this feels so stylish," Sonoko said with a giggle.

"It's all thanks to Akaso-san," Mouri Ran also smiled happily.

Watching the interaction between the three, Sera Masumi was very surprised.

It looked like both girls were in a relationship with Akaso Kaze, and they were getting along quite harmoniously.

Truly a strange phenomenon.

She glanced at Conan next to her.

How strange. According to the information she had collected, wasn't Mouri Ran Kudo Shinichi's girlfriend?

Why didn't he have any reaction?

Could it be that Conan really isn't Kudo Shinichi?

Conan was actually long used to it.

He ate his cake silently.

This cake is Akaso Kaze; I'll bite you to death, ah woo.

Conan muttered silently in his heart.

While eating cake, Ran asked: "There are no rooms in the hotel, so what will you do, Sera?"

Sera Masumi frowned and looked at the sky outside; it was indeed getting late.

"Why don't you stay at my place? There are still plenty of rooms in my building, and Ran's house is right next door. We can play together when we're free."

Akaso Kaze said.

Hearing that Ran's house was right next door, Sera Masumi's eyes lit up immediately.

Wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity to observe Conan's every move?

"Alright, then I'll trouble you."

"It's no trouble," Akaso Kaze smiled.

With you here, I can use Akai Akai Shuichi with more peace of mind.
