The members of the linked-verse society were gathered in the conference room to be questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone had been questioned, Reiko Ando said: \"The police still need to continue their investigation, but we can continue our linked-verse meeting, using this opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. Ushikubo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamatsukuri Hakusa Inn. A red carpet was laid out in the middle of the courtyard lawn. The members of the linked-verse society sat in a circle, with a small pond surrounded by stones nearby, looking quite elegant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time we will adopt a fourteen-verse linked-verse style,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reiko Ando presided, \"Because Mr. Kaze is a beginner, we will proceed by connecting the last characters. As long as we follow a few basic rules, everything else can be improvised freely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"First, we will start with a 5-7-5 opening verse, and then we will alternate between 7-7 verses and 5-7-5 verses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the first two verses, pay special attention to the characters used at the end. Subsequent verses can incorporate different descriptions of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One verse must chant the moon, two to three verses must express emotions, as for the 13th verse, it must appreciate flowers, and the final verse must conclude perfectly by chanting spring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although everyone's verses are quite good,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reiko Ando recorded in the linked-verse notebook, \"but today is for Mr. Ushikubo, so let's use his poem 'Autumn sky is crisp and clear, like my life without frost' as the opening verse. Who will compose the second verse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Shiina raised his hand, looked at the poem he had written on a strip of paper, and read: \"'Clusters of trees lush and quiet, falling fruit clanging with sound'... How is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This verse indeed has the effect of connecting what came before and what follows,\" Reiko Ando commented and recorded it in the notebook, \"Next, I invite Yagizawa to connect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yagizawa picked up the paper, thought for a moment, and began to write: \"My third verse is 'Moon bright and wind high, vampires run rampant'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze asked, \"Is it okay to write poetry like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn't sound good at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reiko Ando smiled: \"Yes, the more whimsical the third verse is, the better the effect. The subject of vampires is very original.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze lowered his eyelids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does it feel like this linked-verse society is of such low quality?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze looked at the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A page was torn out of the victim Ushikubo's notebook by the killer, and it seemed to be the poem Ushikubo intended to use today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that's the case, it's simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze casually plucked two lines from Tang and Song poetry, then turned to Ryosuke Shiina: \"Next is the flower appreciation, right? Mr. Shiina, you take the 13th verse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? This... alright,\" Ryosuke Shiina picked up the paper and wrote, \"Someday, father and daughter can visit the flower temple together. How is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ryosuke Shiina finished writing, a proud expression appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Shiina, you are being very dishonest. This poem wasn't written by you, was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? How could it not be written by me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Shiina's eyes narrowed sharply, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze said: \"The person who truly composed this poem is Mr. Tomonaga, the securities man we met in the lobby yesterday, but Mr. Ushikubo recorded this line in his own notebook.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, it was the page you tore out. I think you must have assumed it was a poem composed by Mr. Ushikubo himself, and you didn't think he was qualified to recite such a beautiful poem at all. So, after you murdered Mr. Ushikubo, you tore that page out of the notebook.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was shocked and looked at Ryosuke Shiina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-wait a minute!\" Ryosuke Shiina forced a smile, \"Actually, Mr. Ushikubo showed me that poem yesterday, and I only used it because it happened to be appropriate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that really so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Matsue police also arrived in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze said: \"Would Mr. Ushikubo's personality allow him to show it to you in advance? I heard his attitude toward you wasn't very good. Would he casually reveal a verse he prepared for the linked-verse meeting to you? Yesterday, he even went out of his way to drive Mr. Tomonaga away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, if you put all the verses you composed this time together, the 7th character of the 7th verse, the 9th character of the 9th verse, and the 11th character of the 11th verse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When read together, they are actually full of provocative meaning. You are quite bold to point out 'I am the killer' directly in the linked-verse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I saw you hiding characters in the linked-verse to say you were the killer, I thought about making you reveal your true colors. The facts prove that you indeed took that poem out to use. It's not strange to think about it, since you like poems describing father-daughter affection and happened to encounter a line that expressed your own inner thoughts, right, Ryosuke Shiina?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Shiina clutched his fingers tightly, looked up, and smiled: \"That doesn't prove anything, does it? Hiding characters in a poem is just a joke. Besides, I have an alibi for when Mr. Ushikubo was murdered!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"An alibi?\" Everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I forgot to mention, around 10 o'clock, I was still in the English garden of the Garden Art Museum. At that time, I even saw a service girl helping a lost child find their mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you said cannot serve as an alibi at all,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze interrupted, \"Because you only needed to place a camera under the bushes in the park beforehand. In fact, you didn't even have time to deal with the traces left by the tripod, because a staff member happened to notice you at that time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Shiina looked at Akaso Kaze with trembling eyes, his fingers shaking uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze said, \"Yagizawa sent a text message and deliberately left his eye drops at the scene, but you left important evidence on your own person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze looked at the police officer nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer took out a pair of hiking boots in an evidence bag, \"Mr. Shiina, just a moment ago, we detected Mr. Ushikubo's fingerprints on the first eyelet of the hiking boots you were wearing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Ryosuke Shiina collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have anything else to say now?\" Akaso Kaze looked directly at Ryosuke Shiina, \"The death message left by Mr. Ushikubo was not complicated; he just wanted to explain that he had left fingerprints on the hiking boots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps it initially pointed toward the Garden Art Museum, which made you misunderstand, so after you noticed it, you moved his finger away and left the eye drop bottle that was originally intended to frame someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze paused, then turned to the silent Ryosuke Shiina and continued: \"There is one more point, and that is your self-directed act during dinner yesterday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Self-directed act?\" Reiko Ando was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was the drawing of lots,\" Akaso Kaze nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Shiina used a little trick with the hat when drawing lots to assign locations. He let Mr. Ushikubo draw first, then used his age as an excuse to draw second, arranging for himself to be at the Garden Art Museum, which was the furthest away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Shiina suddenly let out a breath and looked at the blue sky as if he had let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, I did kill Ganzo Ushikubo. But I don't regret it at all. Ushikubo destroyed my family, and even if I had to do it again, I would make the same choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But who exactly are you?\" Ryosuke Shiina looked at Akaso Kaze with a puzzled expression: \"You absolutely cannot be an ordinary detective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze did not answer, and the police officer nearby said: \"You certainly wouldn't have guessed his identity. He is the most powerful Onmyoji in Tokyo, Lord Akaso.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Lord Akaso!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki Kawaguchi opened her small mouth in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he is Lord Akaso. No wonder he is so handsome and so powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of what Lord Akaso had just done to her, Mizuki Kawaguchi couldn't help but blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Shiina said: \"So it was you. If I had known this, I would never have done such a thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Shiina stood up, bowed respectfully, and then voluntarily extended his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The police handcuffed him and took him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night, in the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki Kawaguchi blinked her big eyes, feeling as if she were in a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are Lord Akaso?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" Akaso Kaze smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I am so happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki Kawaguchi lay on Akaso Kaze's chest, wishing she could melt into his body, leaving not even a sliver of distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, on a country road, Akaso Kaze was driving...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time the destination was a Western-style mansion built deep in the mountains at the border of Gunma Prefecture and Saitama Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Villas deep in the mountains like this were mostly remnants of the last century, and Akaso Kaze had seen quite a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A meeting regarding inheritance issues would be held in that Western-style mansion that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the client, it was a very strange patron who not only provided a very generous commission but also had very strange requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze was very much looking forward to what was about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Akaso, why did you bring me here?\" Conan asked from the back seat, full of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A big case is going to happen here. Don't you like deduction? Today I'll let you have your fill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, Akaso Kaze had brought Conan along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the reason, it was, of course, to run errands for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many things that were too troublesome for him to do himself, so it was much more convenient to let this little guy do them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming, he had inquired and heard that there was a rumor in the area that half a year ago, a murder case occurred in the forest near that mansion, and the victim seemed to be a vampire case where the blood was sucked dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A vampire... this is truly exciting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conan thought excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already evening when they arrived at the Western-style mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the butler of this Torakura family, Riju Koga. You must be Mr. Kaze from Tokyo, right? The Master told me to wait for you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white-bearded butler wearing glasses waited in front of the castle-like villa, appearing to have been waiting for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the title Mr. Kaze was a specific request made by the client.\u003C\u002Fp>",1799,"2026-06-17T04:04:55.481Z","2026-06-17T04:20:22.880Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","85ad46f0f305ed8da076301b70903df8cff3014d6de94ed2a12c5615fbb724cc","conan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-chapter-383","conan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-chapter-381",403,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fconan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-cover.jpg"]
