Chapter 321

~6 min read 1,046 words

Looking at the Akaso Kaze behind her, then at the other Akaso Kaze standing in the center of the room, Chang Liang Yao was so shocked she forgot to let go.

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.

The illusion disappeared instantly.

The Akaso Kaze in the center of the room scattered into a pile of gold coins with a clatter.

The maple leaf patterns on these gold coins were long gone, replaced by profound magic arrays.

Intermediate magic, Possession Art.

Akaso Kaze had engraved the magic array of Possession Art onto the maple leaf gold coins, which were magic tool materials, possessing the cursed masks onto the coins, just like sealing them.

Two hundred gold coins perfectly sealed two hundred masks.

A mask shape appeared on each gold coin, twisting, struggling, and letting out silent roars.

Streams of black Qi emerged continuously, wanting to control the gold coins.

Unfortunately, these gold coins had long been refined by Akaso Kaze into magic tools, branded with his soul mark.

Looking at the thick black Qi on the gold coins, Akaso Kaze raised the corners of his mouth.

Magic Power Extraction.

Sizzle.

The black Qi all turned into rolling magic power, pouring into his soul space.

The masks on the gold coins instantly lost the strength to struggle and turned into dull patterns.

Akaso Kaze waved his hand, and the pile of shining gold coins disappeared without a trace.

[Ding, subdued cursed masks, Magic Puppet Art upgraded to intermediate.]

[Magic Puppet Art (Intermediate): Casting magic can directly control the target’s actions. Note that this magic may cause permanent mental damage to the target.]

Can I directly control living targets now?

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly; it was a pretty good skill.

Hiss.

He suddenly took a deep breath and looked at Chang Liang Yao in surprise.

"Fortune teller, what are you doing?"

Chang Liang Yao looked up, licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, and said with a seductive expression: "Lord Yin-Yang Master, can I ask you for one thing? Can you give me one of those gold coins from earlier?"

"I am willing to pay any price, for example..."

Akaso Kaze narrowed his eyes.

The fortune teller’s skills were indeed extraordinary.

At dawn, Officer Megure, who had received the report, arrived at the villa and his face collapsed instantly upon seeing Uncle Mouri.

"Seriously, when you received the threatening letter, why didn't you notify the police immediately?"

"This," Uncle Mouri laughed dryly, "because Ms. Su Fang said she often receives such threatening letters and there was no need to make a fuss, so..."

In the room, forensic personnel were still taking pictures, and the scattered masks remained in their original state.

Conan stood in a corner of the room, observing the scene with a deep frown.

In the middle of the night, someone suddenly made an internal call to them, and then they discovered that all the Schuber masks in the mask hall had disappeared.

Following that was the strange noise coming from the third floor.

It should have been Su Fang Hongzi’s scream and the sound of those masks scattering.

Someone killed Su Fang Hongzi at that time, but the key problem was that the only door that could enter Su Fang Hongzi’s room was locked, and no one had approached it at all.

Considering the structure of the east and west wings, the possibility of someone from the west wing committing the crime was almost zero, but the east wing also couldn't enter Su Fang Hongzi’s room.

Because the door leading to the adjacent east wing room had been sealed with nails long ago.

The only slightly problematic thing was the wooden lattice above the door; if it were dismantled, one should be able to enter and exit with difficulty.

But the police had just checked, and the lattice couldn't be dismantled; not even a hand could pass between each wooden board...

Conan was thinking intently when, unexpectedly, someone walked over.

"Are you Inspector Megure? I am Lan Chuan Dongya. I did this case; I want to turn myself in."

Huh?

Conan was stunned.

He could imagine Akaso Kaze solving the puzzle; he would just enjoy the process of deduction himself.

What was the meaning of the criminal confessing voluntarily now?

"You want to turn yourself in?" Inspector Megure asked in surprise.

"Yes, my motive is this... my method is this... look, here are my fingerprints, there you can find physical evidence, plus my testimony, this matter was definitely done by me."

Lan Chuan Dongya told the whole process, not even leaving out his inner journey.

Inspector Megure was dumbfounded.

After working for so many years, this was the first time he had seen such an active criminal.

In the past, even if someone turned themselves in, they would at most say they did it and maybe give a rough time and place.

Unlike this guy, who was just like a detective’s deduction, explaining his criminal motive, method, and everything in detail, as if he were afraid he wouldn't be convicted.

Inspector Megure was still surprised when he saw Akaso Kaze walk over.

Behind him followed four women.

The secretary, the twin maids, and the fortune teller all followed him step by step.

Inspector Megure felt a bit enlightened; this was probably because of the Yin-Yang Master again.

The nemesis of evil was truly well-deserved.

Conan’s mouth was wide open, his face full of confusion and frustration.

I already stepped back!

Not thinking about enjoying the pleasure of stating the full deduction.

How could even the process of deduction be stripped from me?

What is the point of me living anymore!

I want to die!

Conan’s heart was full of bitterness.

He looked at Akaso Kaze with mournful little eyes, then saw him embrace Mao Li Lan, his large hand caressing her waist.

Lan looked shy, but because they were in front of everyone, she didn't dare to push him away.

Conan felt like he had been stuffed with dog food and turned his head away silently.

Mom, I want to go home~

Abroad, Kudo Yukiko, who was on a plane, curled her lips slightly.

She would arrive in Tokyo today.

She could see Akaso-san again; she was really looking forward to it...
