Chapter 356
Finally, I can leave in peace.
Akaso Kaze placed Setara Setara Setara Renxi on a chair and then looked at the person who had planned this case.
"Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu, I think you had already anticipated this situation."
Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu looked at Akaso Kaze, and his whole body suddenly relaxed.
He smiled bitterly and said: "As expected of Tokyo’s most powerful Onmyoji, the Bane of Evil. Everything I planned couldn't escape your eyes. That’s right, I set the fire; I wanted to burn Xuan Xuan Sanlang to death!"
"Why? Why did you want to burn me to death?" Xuan Xuan Sanlang asked in astonishment.
"Because according to the order, it was your turn to die!" Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu said faintly.
"Order, what order?" Xuan Xuan Sanlang asked.
"The order of those who were to die was based on the musical scale, starting from my deceased parents, with the first letters of their names being C, D, E, F, G, A," Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu looked at everyone in the room.
"It’s been thirty years. I had completely forgotten, but two years ago, at Uncle Tiaoyilang’s birthday party, when I came to tune the instruments, I found that the Stradivari’s tone and touch were exactly the same as the violin my father gave me when I was a child."
"So I asked Aunt Aunt Yongmei, and she told me everything."
"Uncle Tiaoyilang, it was you. Thirty years ago, you caused my father to be seriously injured, and not only did you not call an ambulance, but you also directed a robbery. In the end, my mother also passed away from caring for him. You are the old man who committed these sins."
"However, Aunt Aunt Yongmei did indeed fall down the stairs by herself, and Jiangren fell from the balcony by accident."
Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu said, "I think this is God’s revelation to me. Starting from my mother Qianbo, including those still alive, it just happens to go from C to C."
"But when I heard that the old man who was supposed to die last had a serious illness and was about to die, I started to get a little anxious."
"Uncle Xuan Xuan Sanlang, I put sleeping pills in the water in your room. After you fell asleep, I secretly went to his room and lit a cigarette to use as an ignition device."
"As for Aunt Aunt Aunt Xuanyin, I prepared to swap the Stradivari."
"When night came, when I played the requiem for Uncle Xuan Xuan Sanlang, who was burned to death, she would discover that the violin in her hand was fake."
"At that moment, she would look out the window and see the real violin hanging high up."
Saying this, Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu walked to the window and opened it.
"Aunt Aunt Aunt Xuanyin, who was confused, would want to get the violin and would step on the window frame to reach out."
"And the violin was tied with a rope, connected to the outside of the window frame on the side of the room downstairs. After it fell, it would be pulled by the rope and suspended outside the second-floor window."
"As long as I stood by the window when the body was discovered, blocking the violin with my body, and then took the opportunity while everyone ran downstairs to retrieve the violin, it would be fine."
"Young Master Uncle Uncle Xiangfu," the housekeeper lowered her head, "In your plan, is the next one me, who started working here thirty years ago but failed to see through that incident?"
"No, in German, after C, D, E, F, G, A, it is indeed H,"
Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu stepped onto the open window and said softly to the group of people with a smile, "It’s the H for Yuhe!"
"Ah...?"
The crowd’s exclamation involuntarily took a turn.
Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu hung in the air outside the window, looking dumbfounded.
No matter what, he couldn't fall.
He moved his limbs with force, like a frog in a vacuum.
"In my presence, even dying requires my consent. If you want to commit suicide, you might as well save your energy."
Akaso Kaze said faintly.
Tiaoyilang suddenly climbed down from his stool, trembling, and knelt on the ground.
"Uncle Uncle Xiangfu, I’m sorry for you, I’m sorry for Tandilang. It was all my greed that harmed him."
"Now I don't have many days left to live. Uncle Uncle Xiangfu, can you forgive an old man who is about to die?"
Looking at his appearance, Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu’s lips trembled.
Akaso Kaze said: "Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu, you know very well what the result was when your father and your Aunt Aunt Yongmei fell from the same height. And he didn't die on the spot; you say it was a lack of timely treatment, but in reality, who knows how much difference that made."
"In any case, their crimes didn't warrant death. Are you really unwilling to let them go?"
"Or, do you insist on destroying the entire Setara family?"
Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces.
The hatred in his eyes gradually turned into hesitation.
"Uncle Uncle Uncle Xiangfu, let Grandpa go. He, he only has half a year left."
Setara Setara Setara Renxi sobbed on Akaso Kaze’s shoulder.
Seeing her like this, Yuhe Uncle Uncle Xiangfu finally sighed.
Early morning, the sun was bright.
Setara Setara Setara Renxi was playing a melodious piece of music by the window.
"Akaso-san," Setara Setara Setara Renxi blushed, panting, and turned to look at Akaso Kaze behind her. "H-how was my performance?"
Akaso Kaze held her slender waist, his lips curling up.
"Very good. Although there were a few places where you paused slightly, I think that was even better. Play another one."
"Akaso-san, y-you, don't bully me. Y-you, like this, how can I play..."
The girl turned her head and kissed Akaso Kaze.
She really couldn't help it anymore.
Akaso Kaze sat on the chair, and Setara Setara Setara Renxi sat on his lap.
The two continued to practice.
Onmyoji Office.
Akaso Kaze looked at a notice letter in his hand.
Sitting on the sofa opposite were two beautiful women: the actress Maki Juri and her assistant Yaguchi Masayo.
"Reo, Juliet, Victor, Bravo! Amidst the dancing and intersecting 26 letters, I will take that gem of destiny. Kaitou Kid." There was also a playing card torn in half.
"Akaso-sama, I heard that Kaitou Kid is very afraid of you, so I’m begging you to accept my commission." Maki Juri looked at Akaso Kaze with glowing eyes.
This Onmyoji-sama is really handsome.
"Is the gem of destiny in your hands?" Akaso Kaze asked.
"That’s right, this is it." Maki Juri placed an exquisite little box on the coffee table, showing the charming blue sapphire inside.
"Is this the Blue Sapphire of the Stars?" Akaso Kaze picked it up and looked at it.
"That’s right. Actually, the three intersecting lines on the surface of this blue sapphire symbolize trust, hope, and destiny, which is why it’s called the gem of destiny."
"We are using it in tonight’s performance because Josephine also loved blue sapphires."
"Performance?"
"That’s right," Maki Juri said, "We are performing the stage play 'Josephine' at the newly opened Space Theater in Shiodome. She was Napoleon’s first empress."
"She was also famous for loving roses, which is why Kaitou Kid put the notice letter and the rose together this time."
Akaso Kaze nodded. "I accept this commission."
Come to think of it, Haibara Ai hasn't seen a stage play yet; it’s a good time to take her to see one.
The excitement of a big city business district lies in its prosperous high-rise buildings and intersecting transportation networks; the subway goes straight through, there are sea-view ferries nearby, and there are almost no obstacles to entry or exit.
Standing in a high place, you can also see the Tokyo Tower in the central district, and the city scenery is unobstructed.
Even from the ground, you can see a good view, with plenty of light, and there is no sense of oppression like in an urban village; you are only shocked by the prosperity of the big business district, so not only Japanese people but also a large number of foreign tourists like to gather in the business district.
After getting off the subway station and walking a few steps, you reach the Shiodome Landscape Building. Akaso Kaze led Ai into the Space Theater.
"Wow!" A group of high school girls passing through the hall suddenly made a noise, surprised, and surrounded Akaso Kaze.
"Is that the Onmyoji Akaso-sama?"
"So handsome!"
"Can I have an autograph? On my chest is fine."
Looking at the swarming high school girls, Akaso Kaze was a bit speechless.
"Hmph," the little girl Ai next to him muttered unhappily, "Are all girls these days so infatuated?"
Behind them, Conan thought: You seem pretty infatuated with Akaso Kaze too.
That’s right, Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko all followed.
Conan had led the way, and his goal was, of course, to catch Kaitou Kid.
"Everyone, move aside."
Fortunately, the agent Yaguchi Masayo came out to greet them, rescuing Akaso Kaze from the surge of high school girls.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Yaguchi Masayo wore glasses, had a gentle personality, and bowed to Akaso Kaze with a smile.
