Chapter 428

When the car arrived at the Tsukumo residence, it was already completely dark.

Looking from the outside, the Tsukumo residence was a very luxurious Western-style mansion, which shows that the magic master Motoyasu Tsukumo also made quite a lot of money.

"Lord Akaso, this is my home."

Nanae Tsukumo stood beside Akaso Kaze and looked at the parking area.

"That's Sanada's car; it looks like Mr. Sanada and Detective Mouri are already inside."

Nanae Tsukumo walked in front, leading Akaso Kaze toward the villa.

The two had just walked to the entrance of the villa when they heard a "creak" from the door.

Immediately after, they saw a woman leading a little girl walking out.

The woman seemed a bit cold, and the little girl was very cute but had tears on her face, as if she had just cried.

"Mako, Fumi, are you going out?" Nanae Tsukumo asked.

Mako smiled and said: "Mistress, you're back? Just now Mr. Sanada brought a few guests, saying they wanted to investigate the teacher's true cause of death. He said the ingredients at home might not be enough, so I was planning to go out to buy some."

"And Fumi, tomorrow is her birthday, so I also wanted to take Fumi to buy a gift."

Seeing Akaso Kaze, Fumi was clearly stunned.

She lifted her small head and said with surprise: "Are you Big Brother Akaso?"

Huh?

Even such a small girl knows me?

Why don't I have any impression?

Akaso Kaze smiled and reached out to touch Fumi's little head.

"That's right, I am Akaso Kaze; do you know me?"

Fumi nodded, "I am a classmate of Haibara and Ayumi."

Oh, a classmate...

Akaso Kaze suddenly remembered.

When he saved the plane and landed at Teitan Elementary School, it seemed like a little girl had inexplicably increased her favorability.

So it was her.

Akaso Kaze was about to say something when Fumi hugged his leg.

"Big Brother Akaso, can you hug me? Dad has left, and I'm so sad."

Mako's expression changed slightly, and she said with a forced smile: "Fumi, didn't we agree to go buy a gift?"

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled slightly, and he bent down to pick up the little girl.

This woman is the murderer who killed Motoyasu Tsukumo; she wants to take the little girl out, and she also has bad intentions.

However, this case lacks decisive evidence, so Akaso Kaze can only use other means.

Seeing her daughter looking so happy in Akaso Kaze's arms, Nanae Tsukumo felt a bit sad.

Fumi used to be like this in her father's arms too.

"Mako, you'd better go out tomorrow; tonight, take the Onmyoji to look for the evil spirit..." Nanae Tsukumo said.

"No need to bother, Mrs. Tsukumo."

Akaso Kaze held Fumi and smiled.

"I have already solved this case; your husband's death has nothing to do with any evil spirit!"

"He was murdered."

"What?" Everyone present was stunned.

Tsukumo residence, basement.

Conan looked up at a photo hanging on the wall; the photo was of a handsome young man.

"This person is Yoshiro Kinoshita, right? His photo is much cleaner than the others."

"That's right, he was the teacher's proud disciple and a genius magician who was famous for a time, but unfortunately, he died in an accident more than ten years ago."

Izo Sanada introduced the person in the photo, hesitated for a moment, and then continued:

"As for why his photo is cleaner than the others, it's probably because of Miss Mako."

"Mako? Is that the big sister who just took Fumi out to buy ingredients?" Conan was a bit strange, "Does Big Sister Mako know the dead Yoshiro Kinoshita?"

"This, I'm not too sure," Izo Sanada shook his head and then said, "However, I once saw Miss Mako cleaning Yoshiro Kinoshita's photo."

"Alright! Alright!"

Uncle Mouri waved his hand, "Really, it's just a photo; what does it have to do with the case? The most urgent task now is to find out the true cause of Motoyasu Tsukumo's death!"

"We have also checked the door lock here; it is indeed very easy to open from the inside, and there were no traces of sleeping pills in his body, and there were no signs of binding on his body when he was discovered."

"Looking at it this way, the possibility of Mr. Motoyasu Tsukumo committing suicide is indeed very high."

Conan shook his little head and pointed to the photo of Motoyasu Tsukumo next to him:

"Mr. Motoyasu seems to like wearing rings for magic tricks on his hands."

"If someone made Mr. Motoyasu put his hands behind his back and then used something like a thin thread to tie the rings, wouldn't Mr. Motoyasu's hands be tied behind his back by the murderer?"

"And if it was the rings that were tied, of course, it wouldn't leave any marks on the body."

Uncle Mouri supported his chin and pondered, "It seems that's really it!"

Thanks to Yunwu Zhirao for the urging ticket.
