Chapter 32

"We just received a report from some children saying they saw a corpse in that house."

"Inspector Megure brought us here to investigate, but we haven't found the corpse yet. It's very likely a prank by the children, so we were planning to pack up and head back."

Akaso Kaze raised an eyebrow.

Inspector Megure, isn't he the golden extra of this world?

With him responding to the call, could the kids who found the corpse be the Detective Boys?

Just as he was thinking this, the chubby extra walked out, followed by Conan, Ayumi, and the other three kids.

Inspector Megure walked with a stern face, lecturing: "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you helped catch the Italian robbers last time, I wouldn't have been stupid enough to believe you this time."

He looked up and saw Akaso Kaze, immediately smiling: "Akaso-san, out walking the cats again?"

Akaso Kaze nodded, looked at Conan, and asked: "What's wrong, is Conan causing you trouble again?"

"These brats just love pranks, saying they saw a corpse. We searched the entire courtyard, and except for the two brothers who own the house, there's no one else, let alone a corpse."

"It must be a prank by these brats."

Conan quickly argued loudly: "Inspector, we really didn't lie to you! We really saw a corpse!"

Akaso Kaze looked at the two.

According to the rules of this world, what Conan said was likely true, and with Inspector Megure as the negative example, it was almost certain a murder had occurred.

Nameless brothers... a missing corpse...

Akaso Kaze, who had a good memory, immediately recalled.

So it was that case.

He cast the Eye of Space and took a look around the room, and sure enough, he found the corpse.

He also found where the soul was.

This guy was actually hugging such a long thing.

"Wait, Inspector Megure, let me, this Onmyoji, calculate it for you for free. If there really is a murder, that would be an achievement for you."

Inspector Megure was stunned and said: "Is that really okay? Then I'll trouble you, Akaso-san."

If anyone else said that, he definitely wouldn't believe it.

But Akaso Kaze was different.

Inspector Megure knew clearly that this Onmyoji had real skills and was very powerful; a single talisman could sell for tens of millions.

Last time, when handling the Maru Denjiro case, he heard that Akaso Kaze had long seen that Maru Denjiro's life was short and wanted to sell him a life-saving talisman for 20 million.

Who knew Maru Denjiro was stingy and didn't want to buy it? Sure enough, a few days later he died, and he was slashed many times, dying a miserable death.

Once this news spread, many dignitaries came to Akaso Kaze to buy talismans, and they wouldn't even haggle over the 20 million price.

Now that Akaso Kaze was taking the initiative to help him divine, could there really be a case here?

Inspector Megure's expression immediately became serious.

Akaso Kaze made a few solemn, pretentious gestures that he didn't even know the meaning of.

Then he raised an eyebrow, showed a cold sneer, and pointed to the window next to the big tree.

"Conan is right, the corpse is in that room, sitting in the chair in front of the TV."

"What?" Inspector Megure frowned.

"We entered that room at the time, there was no furniture, only the owner's older brother sitting in the chair..."

"I know now!"

Conan suddenly shouted excitedly, "So that's it, I've understood the criminal's trick."

He didn't have time to explain, turned his head, and rushed into the house.

"Huh? What do you mean, what did you find out?"

Inspector Megure was completely confused.

He turned his head and saw that Akaso Kaze was already gone.

Four black cats followed neatly behind his feet.

My serious business is walking the cats, solving cases is just a side task.

Inspector Megure said helplessly: "Let's go, the Onmyoji said so, let's go up and take another look."

As he went upstairs, he muttered: "Could those rumors be fake? Is this Akaso Kaze also a charlatan?"

As soon as they entered the room, Conan was standing proudly next to the chair.

"Where? Where is the corpse?"

Inspector Megure turned his head and looked around.

Conan reached out and pushed.

The chair tipped over, and the person sitting on it fell to the ground, motionless.

"Inspector Megure, look, isn't this the corpse?"

A smug smile that begged to be hit was on Conan's face.

Inspector Megure looked at the corpse that had fallen to the ground and was still closed-eyed and unconscious, and finally realized.

He exclaimed: "As expected of the famous Onmyoji, his calculation was truly accurate!"

Conan's smile instantly stiffened.

I was the one who found the corpse first, okay...

In Akaso Kaze's soul space, a soul was foolishly hugging a golf club.

Wasn't I beaten to death by my brother? How did I get here?

Where is this?

Why are there so many strange things?

In his line of sight, a female soul wielding a leather whip floated over.

Snap.

Ow~

Zzz.

Seeing Miyano Akemi's method, Akaso Kaze nodded with satisfaction.

With the cat puppets as punishment, the souls' initiative had improved.

They didn't even need to be told; they actively looked for work.

Saturday, Saitama Prefecture, Tongshan Inn.

Today is the prelude to the Saitama Prefecture Tenkaichi Festival.

Mori Kogoro, Ran, and Conan got out of the car.

Akaso Kaze parked the car, and the group entered the inn together.

Why were they together? Of course, because Akaso Kaze had a car.

The Shinkansen couldn't reach Saitama Prefecture, so driving was very convenient.

"Hurry up and tidy up, we'll go soak in the hot spring in a while."

Mori Kogoro was very excited.

"Tonight is the prelude to the Saitama Prefecture Tenkaichi Festival. The characters 'Tenkaichi' will be lit on three mountains in sequence; it's quite interesting."

Akaso Kaze put his things away, changed into swimming trunks, and headed toward the hot spring.

"Akaso-san~"

Just as he arrived at the hot spring, he heard a shy voice.

Akaso Kaze turned back, and his eyes lit up.

Mori Ran was wearing a thin swimsuit, revealing her fair waist and legs; every detail could be seen clearly.

Akaso Kaze was almost stunned.

Who could imagine what Mori Ran really looked like in a swimsuit?

This was completely different from the 2D images in the manga.

That slender, graceful figure, the skin with droplets of water, shrouded in a faint mist—it was like a fairy descending from heaven!

Feeling Akaso Kaze's burning gaze, Mori Ran became even shyer.

She squeezed her hands together as if afraid of the cold.

This further highlighted her figure.
