Chapter 436

Mao Li Kogoro frowned deeply.

"If Miss Mao Li Asako has a very deep hatred for Mr. Motoyasu, then it is possible she might target Mr. Motoyasu's relatives, especially Ayano, who symbolizes the continuation of Mr. Motoyasu's bloodline."

"In other words, Miss Asako is very likely to make a move on Ayano!"

"You mean, kill Ayano?!" Sanada Ichizo looked agitated. "How could Asako possibly do such a thing?!"

"It's just a possibility for now! However, to be safe, we must quickly find Miss Asako and Ayano. If Ayano is fine, that would naturally be best."

Mao Li Kogoro asked: "If Miss Asako went out to buy groceries, where would she usually go?"

"To the nearby supermarket." Sanada Ichizo answered immediately, then walked quickly toward the door.

"Hyochi should still be preparing dinner; let's go call him first and have him help look as well. By the way, my teacher's wife also brought guests back, we can have them help too."

"Guests?" Conan, Uncle Mao Li, and Ran were all stunned.

"That's right, there are guests. Because my teacher's wife stubbornly believes that the master was killed by an evil spirit, she invited an Onmyoji." Sanada Ichizo explained.

"An Onmyoji?!"

The figure of a certain person immediately appeared in Conan's mind, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Speaking of which, it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

Is our great detective Conan going to suffer from dimensional reduction strikes again?

At the Kujukuri residence, inside the living room.

Mao Li Asako and Hyochi Hironobu stood at the entrance.

Hyochi Hironobu bowed to Akaso Kaze: "I leave the lady and Ayano to you, Lord Akaso. I will go to the police station with Asako."

"Sister Asako~"

In Akaso Kaze's arms, Ayano's voice was sorrowful.

Mao Li Asako acted as if she hadn't heard.

She absolutely could not stay in this house anymore; it would be better to leave now.

She turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from the hallway.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw Conan, Mao Li Kogoro, and Sanada Ichizo running out together.

Upon seeing everyone, Sanada Ichizo immediately said: "Mistress, just now Mr. Mao Li and the others deduced the killer; the killer is Miss Asako, and she even wanted to kill Ayano... Huh?"

Sanada Ichizo hadn't finished speaking when he saw Mao Li Asako and Ayano standing in the crowd, and he was instantly bewildered.

How are these two perfectly fine at home?

Of course, Conan and Mao Li Kogoro were equally bewildered.

Especially Conan; his eyes were almost rolling back.

He really did see that guy again.

How could it be such a coincidence that this Onmyoji is actually Akaso Kaze?!

Conan was complaining wildly in his heart when Kujukuri Nanae spoke up: "Thank you very much, Mr. Mao Li. However, we already know that Asako is the killer."

"Lord Akaso stopped Asako as soon as he arrived here, then said Asako was the killer, and Asako admitted it too."

"Huh?"

Conan and Mao Li Kogoro both felt a sour sensation in their noses.

Do you know how hard they worked on their deduction in the basement just now?!

You could have at least given us a chance to present our deduction!

"Then what are you all doing now?"

Looking at the crowd squeezed in front of the entrance, Sanada Ichizo asked.

Mao Li Asako spoke up at this moment: "I am just about to go to the police station to turn myself in; Hyochi will go with me."

0 0

Looking at her calm expression, Sanada Ichizo hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I will go with you all too."

Conan looked at Akaso Kaze with a dejected expression.

The bastard.

The joy of solving a case had been stripped away again.

With Akaso Kaze, this cheater, around, what was the point of him working so hard on the deduction in the basement?

It was simply a total waste of an evening.

Several disciples went to the police station, and the Mao Li family soon left as well.

The large mansion was left with only Akaso Kaze and the mother and daughter, suddenly appearing quiet and lonely.

On the sofa, Akaso Kaze was holding Kujukuri Ayano.

Because he was often pestered by little Ayumi, he was very experienced in dealing with little lolis.

Ayano temporarily forgot her sorrow and revealed a happy smile in his arms.

The door opened, and Kujukuri Nanae walked out wearing gorgeous clothes.

She seemed to have even put on makeup specifically.

Women really do need to dress up; such makeup gave her much more temperament than before, and even added a mature flavor.

Seeing her daughter's smile, Kujukuri Nanae also smiled. She bowed slightly and said: "Please wait a moment, Lord Akaso. There aren't enough ingredients at home, so I will go out to buy some groceries."

"No need for that, just the three of us, let's just make something simple."

Kujukuri Nanae blushed slightly.

In reality, she hadn't cooked in many years and had long forgotten how.

She was planning to go out and buy something ready-made to bring back.

Akaso Kaze knew what was going on as soon as he saw her expression.

He smiled and placed Ayano into her mother's arms.

"You two sit in the dining room for a while, it will be ready soon."
