Chapter 387

Huh? Lost it?

Conan listened, looking bewildered.

This policewoman looks very fierce, but she turns out to be a klutz.

"There is one more thing, Denda keeps saying he was framed."

Sato Miwako pointed to the middle-aged man beside her.

"Hmm?"

Officer Takagi and Conan were both stunned and turned to look at the criminal sitting on the floor.

Denda shouted with an ugly expression:

"I am not the criminal! I didn't do that at all! When I woke up this morning, Ms. Muranishi was already dead! I really didn't kill anyone! Lord Akaso Kaze will definitely be able to help me!"

Sato Miwako looked at Denda and then turned to Officer Takagi, saying, "He's been like this since just now!"

"It's true! Please believe me! Help me find the Onmyoji, Lord Akaso Kaze; he will definitely be able to prove my innocence," Denda said anxiously.

Hearing the name Akaso Kaze, Takagi's expression immediately turned sour.

He frowned and stared at Denda, asking, "Then why did you run away?"

"That's because my daughter is getting married soon, and I must go to her wedding; the flight is tomorrow at 12:30 PM," Denda said with a sorrowful voice.

"Twenty years ago, I left my wife and daughter, and since then I haven't had any news of them. Now I have received my daughter's wedding invitation; how could I not go to such an important event?!"

Ayumi, standing nearby, suddenly said, "This uncle isn't a bad person!"

"Because this uncle let Ayumi go and even apologized to me. If he were really a bad person, he wouldn't have done that!"

"And if he were a bad person, how could he possibly need Brother Akaso's help?"

Sato Miwako thought for a moment and said, "As a daughter, I also don't believe Mr. Denda would commit murder right before preparing to attend his daughter's wedding. So, Takagi, go back now and find Akaso-san; let him help clear Mr. Denda's name."

Takagi walked out of the building, looking dazed.

Conan asked, "Officer Takagi, where are you going?"

The corner of Takagi's mouth twitched, "According to Officer Sato's instructions, I can only go find Akaso Kaze..."

"Officer Takagi, are you willing to just give up on Officer Sato like this?" Conan suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Takagi was stunned.

"Officer Takagi likes Officer Sato, right?"

"Wh-where, how could I have the qualifications for that."

Takagi touched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Officer Takagi, why don't we solve this case together? That way, Officer Sato will look at you with new eyes."

Conan's eyes sparkled with wisdom.

"Besides, this criminal escaped from your hands too. If you prove he isn't the criminal, Officer Takagi, you won't be punished."

"But, Officer Sato is still waiting for someone to save her..." Takagi was clearly moved.

"It's fine, the art museum will open at 10:00 tomorrow morning. Someone will naturally find them then; there won't be any problems."

Conan looked excited.

Snatching a case from Akaso Kaze is truly like snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

Isn't it exciting? ===== CHAPTER 389 =====
