Chapter 49

This means I cursed him to death.

However, that is indeed the truth.

Akaso Kaze felt very helpless inside.

He pushed aside his chaotic thoughts and decided to resolve this case as quickly as possible.

"I think if we check the wall outside Miss Akiko's window and the wall outside Konno Shiro's window, we can find traces of Egara Tokio's climbing."

"At that point, it will be perfectly clear how he fell."

After the investigation was finished, it was already dawn.

The result was that when Egara Tokio grabbed onto Konno Shiro's window, a sudden crosswind blew in.

This is a unique climate phenomenon in this area.

The sand and dust blinded Egara Tokio's eyes and blew up the cloak of the Baron of Darkness.

He just lost his grip like that and fell down...

"This guy really is unlucky!"

This thought occurred to everyone.

Then, they looked at Akaso Kaze with even more awe.

In front of him, one must never have bad intentions.

Otherwise, getting caught would be the best-case scenario.

The worst-case scenario might be trapping yourself to death!

This way of dying is just too frustrating.

"The computer is already gone; the Black Organization must have sent more than one person."

"This time, I owe it all to Lord Akaso; you really have done me a huge favor."

Officer Yokomizo thanked Akaso Kaze enthusiastically.

"It's nothing, just a small effort."

Akaso Kaze smiled somewhat unnaturally.

Officer Yokomizo left, and as Akaso Kaze turned around, Sayama Akiko was right behind him.

"Mr. Akaso, I have a question."

She looked around, and seeing no one else, she asked in a low voice: "What you said sounds just like the truth, but the clothes on Egara Tokio were really put on by me, and the room was also set up by me."

"What exactly is going on?"

Akaso Kaze looked at her and hesitated for a while before saying: "You underestimated the Black Organization. The revenge plan you wrote on the computer was already known to them; Egara Tokio was using a counter-strategy."

"He had long since swapped your sleeping pills; he was never drugged by you, but let you put the clothes on him, leaving all your fingerprints and traces on them, while he wore gloves."

"If everything had gone smoothly, he would have crawled into Konno Shiro's room, killed him, made him wear the Baron of Darkness costume and mask, and then pushed him off..."

Sayama Akiko covered her small mouth in horror.

"Are you saying he wanted to frame me for murder?"

Akaso Kaze nodded.

"Mr. Akaso, thank you, I am truly grateful, I will definitely repay you."

Sayama Akiko kept blinking her expressive, large eyes.

Akaso Kaze smiled, noncommittal. ===== CHAPTER 133 =====

Sayama Akiko said goodbye and left. Akaso Kaze plucked a bug from the sole of his shoe and waved at Conan, who was peeking from not far away.

"No need to eavesdrop, just ask if you have something to say."

A faint smile hung on his face.

Conan looked embarrassed.

"I only have one question now: why was there a phone call to the front desk with Akiko's voice?"

Akaso Kaze looked at him and said slowly: "Do you think Egara Tokio would just stop at framing Akiko for murder?"

"As long as Akiko told the whole story, the police would definitely find the truth."

"So..."

Akaso Kaze didn't continue.

But Conan understood instantly.

Egara Tokio would definitely come back to kill the witness.

To create the illusion of a suicide out of fear of crime.

That's why he had to make the call, to disguise that Akiko was in the room at the time.

But how did he know Maeda Satoshi wouldn't come back with Akiko?

Akaso Kaze saw Conan's doubt.

He asked with a sarcastic smile: "How many fans do you think would remember a karate champion from six years ago, and happen to ask him for an autograph at that exact moment?"

Conan was stunned and immediately understood.

In an instant, he admired Akaso Kaze to the point of prostration.

Too fierce.

This is what you call deduction!

This person is a detective even more brilliant than his father.

Why does he want to be an Onmyoji?

He is clearly a detective.

Akaso Kaze felt the little gaze from Conan, which was full of complex emotions.

There was admiration, there was reluctance to admit defeat, and there was a faint fear.

Akaso Kaze's heart, however, felt a bit strange.

In fact, Egara Tokio's death should be counted on his head.

That sudden strong crosswind, the eyes blinded by sand, the cloak that happened to be caught, and Egara Tokio's sudden weakness...

All of it came from a small piece of magic Akaso Kaze had casually cast during the tour group gathering.

Curse magic!

Target: Egara Tokio!

He was cursed to death by me!

"Big Brother, the peripheral personnel sent to investigate the virus leak have failed." Vodka reported to Gin.

"Dead or captured?" Gin asked nonchalantly.

"Dead."

"And the virus?"

"Not found. Big Brother, should we continue the pursuit?"

"No need." Gin waved his hand.

"The organization is recruiting more software experts; we will develop an even more powerful virus soon."

"As for the Baron of Darkness, heh, cracking it isn't something that can be done in a day or two."

"By the way, Sherry said she wanted to re-investigate Kudo Shinichi's residence. How are the arrangements going?" Gin asked.

"Everything is arranged... Boss, you seem to be spoiling Sherry a bit too much, giving her whatever she wants." Vodka complained with dissatisfaction.

"What? Do you have an opinion?"

Gin's cold gaze made Vodka's back tighten.

"No, Big Brother..."

"Just drive your car well and don't worry about things you shouldn't."

"Yes, Big Brother."

At night, Akaso Kaze finished walking the cat and was on his way back.

The soul space suddenly became rowdy.

Akaso Kaze took a peek inside.

Miyano Akemi's soul was frantically swinging a small whip.

Why did this girl go crazy? ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
