Chapter 46

The strength gathering was instantly cut off.

The Night Baron turned and ran, disappearing around the corner in the blink of an eye.

"Too strong!"

"This man is too strong!"

While running wildly, Maeda Satoshi’s heart was beating violently.

Just a moment ago, he almost thought he was dead.

He didn't know what had grazed his carotid artery; there was still a faint bloodstain when he touched it now.

If it had gone in another inch, he would have lost his life.

"Worthy of being the famous Onmyoji in Tokyo."

"I didn't even see his methods clearly."

"I only saw a flash of golden light, and I was already hit."

"Taking my life would be as easy as flipping his hand."

"What exactly is his relationship with Akiko?"

Maeda Satoshi’s thoughts were chaotic, his heart in turmoil. ===== CHAPTER 126 =====

"What? Someone stole the deceased’s Baron clothes? And attacked Lord Akaso?"

Officer Yokomizo was furious.

The criminal is so arrogant; it’s simply slapping the police in the face.

"Except for Lord Akaso and the other two, bring everyone else in for interrogation!"

Akaso Kaze and Ran returned to their rooms separately.

Just as Akaso Kaze entered the room, someone knocked on the door.

Opening the door, Sayama Akiko rushed in.

She looked up at Akaso Kaze with a tear-stained little face, looking pitiful.

"Lord Akaso, save me, I really didn't kill Ebara Tokio, I was framed."

"Hmm?"

Akaso Kaze couldn't help but frown.

Sayama Akiko said: "I did want to kill Ebara Tokio, so after Maeda left, I called him over and put sleeping pills in his drink."

Akaso Kaze glanced at her.

Calling that lecherous guy into the room, this girl is really going all out.

"After Ebara Tokio passed out, I put the Night Baron’s costume on him, and then took the clothes I changed out of and the door card to his room."

"However, when I set up his room as a locked room and returned to my own room, Ebara Tokio had disappeared."

"I was very panicked at the time, thinking he had escaped, and when I heard screams coming from downstairs, I looked out from the open window..."

"He, he actually fell from the building and died on the statue."

"Lord Akaso, I am really innocent; although I did think about killing him, I really didn't do it."

"Now only you can help me; I don't want to go to jail."

Looking at Sayama Akiko, Akaso Kaze didn't believe what she said.

You’ve done it to the last step, and you’d suddenly have a change of heart and stop?

No one would believe that.

Seeing Akaso Kaze’s suspicious expression, Sayama Akiko bit her lip tightly.

She blushed and took off her top.

Inside, she was actually empty.

"I, I, I am still innocent; as long as Lord Akaso helps me, I am willing to pay any price..."

Seeing her like this, Akaso Kaze believed her a little bit.

The police in this world are not idiots.

If Sayama Akiko really killed someone, no matter how much Akaso Kaze helped, he couldn't change the outcome of her going to prison.

Unless she was really innocent and hoped Akaso Kaze could help her find evidence, that would make sense.

If she really didn't kill him, how should he help her?

Akaso Kaze thought while looking her up and down.

His specialty is not deduction, but magic.

To know the truth of the matter is actually very simple, as long as he finds the soul.

Seeing Sayama Akiko trembling slightly, looking pitiful.

Akaso Kaze picked up the clothes on the floor and draped them over her.

"Put on your clothes; I am not a person who takes advantage of others."

"I will help you find the truth."

"As long as you are innocent, I can help you clear your name."

"Re, really?" Sayama Akiko’s eyes sparkled.

She draped the clothes over herself and slowly approached Akaso Kaze.

She pressed her chest against his chest.

Akaso Kaze couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It’s the hot summer now, and Akaso Kaze was only wearing a thin shirt.

The shirt is high-end fabric, and wearing it is the same as not wearing it.

And Sayama Akiko...

She really wasn't wearing anything.

The two stood together for a while.

Sayama Akiko seemed to feel something, and her face turned red instantly.

After a long time, she silently stepped back and put on her clothes.

"I will definitely repay you, Lord Akaso."

She bowed deeply, then looked up, her beautiful big eyes giving him a meaningful look.

Then she opened the door and left.

Watching her graceful back, Akaso Kaze’s mouth curled slightly.

Now there is only one problem left.

Where is the soul?

With no better way, Akaso Kaze decided to look at all the relevant rooms and people with his Space Eye.

Before, he felt it wasn't worth wasting magic and time for a soul; with this time, he might as well go after Ran.

Now it’s different; this is saving a person’s fate, and a beauty’s fate at that.

Spending a little magic is worth it.

Moreover, he could also harvest a soul.

Akaso Kaze decided to start with Konno Shiro, who was closest to the room where the incident happened, which was Sayama Akiko’s room.

Hmm?

Looking at the empty room, Akaso Kaze showed a strange expression.

This is too simple.

On the desk near the window, there was a computer, and Ebara Tokio was lying on the keyboard, holding the 'C' key tightly.

His death actually had something to do with Konno Shiro.

Akaso Kaze pulled the little head of the soul.

Now he is a true magician, and his mental hand is strong enough; if he had to use force, he could pull the key down along with the soul.

But after thinking about it, he still took the whole computer into his space.

Just getting the soul is not enough; he also needs to know the truth of the case.

Since Ebara Tokio’s soul was lying on the computer, his death had a direct relationship with this computer.

Putting it into the soul space together makes it easier to interrogate. ===== CHAPTER 127 =====
