Chapter 64

"When the lights went out and everyone chased out, I knew the opportunity had come."

"It must have been the criminal who did it."

"So I asked Ran to call everyone back to witness the criminal’s actions."

"This is the entire process I, Onmyoji Akaso Kaze, went through to finally save Miss Yotsui and catch the criminal."

Clapping.

The people nearby all applauded excitedly.

"Too brilliant!"

"As expected of Tokyo’s most famous Onmyoji."

"One link after another, no criminal can escape."

"Ichieda Takashi dared to commit a crime in front of the Onmyoji; he really deserved his bad luck."

Conan glared, angrily saying: "Brother Akaso, did you know there was a problem with that coffee and let me drink it on purpose?"

Akaso Kaze glanced at him. 08

A strange smile appeared on his face.

"Conan, don't you want to be a famous detective?"

"There is only one truth to a case."

"In order to pursue the truth, are you unwilling to make a small sacrifice?"

"Are you unwilling to watch the criminal go unpunished?"

"Are you unwilling to watch Nikaido’s injustice go unavenged?"

"Are you unwilling to watch Miss Yotsui suffer in vain?"

Following Akaso Kaze’s words, everyone looked at Conan.

The looks in their eyes were like little knives, stabbing into Conan again and again.

"Conan, how could you think that?"

Ran was very unhappy.

If Conan could hear favorability, it would definitely be plummeting.

As for Haibara Ai, she didn't even bother with him.

This little brat is really too annoying.

"I, I didn't mean that!"

Conan wanted to cry.

I meant why didn't you drink that coffee yourself?

But that was just a thought.

He didn't dare to say it out loud.

Conan could imagine what everyone would think.

If Akaso Kaze drank the coffee, who would solve the case?

Rely on him, Conan?

Although Conan had confidence in himself, others wouldn't think so.

You little brat, what do you know about reasoning?

You even dare to challenge the Onmyoji Akaso Kaze.

Letting you cooperate and drink a few mouthfuls of water is doing you a favor.

He could only shut his mouth obediently, swallowing his broken teeth into his stomach.

How miserable!

I am truly too miserable!

I am the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.

How did I become the big victim of the Heisei era?

"Right, there is one more thing."

Akaso Kaze suddenly remembered the soul.

"Nikaido died unjustly at this person’s hands, I must take something of his to perform the ritual."

"So the vengeful spirit knows that the person who killed him has been brought to justice, so it doesn't linger in this villa."

Vengeful spirit... lingering...

Everyone couldn't help but shudder, looking around with trepidation.

"What do you need, Onmyoji? Tell us, we will get it for you."

Mifune rolled up his sleeves.

"Just his hair is enough, not too much, just the tuft on top of his head..."

Akaso Kaze glanced; the soul didn't occupy much space.

"How can that be? It’s just hair, shave it all off."

President Yotsui waved his hand, and several men went up, each with a pair of scissors, and shaved Ichieda Takashi bald.

Akaso Kaze looked at the pile of hair in front of him and the bald man next to him, who looked as aggrieved as a little girl, and his lips twitched.

"Lord, what should we do now?" President Yotsui asked.

Akaso Kaze smiled mysteriously.

"Very simple, just set a fire."

Set a fire?

Everyone gathered around.

Exorcism, it’s not uncommon in this world.

Shouldn't there be a very complicated ritual?

Just set a fire?

Everyone’s faces showed curiosity.

Under everyone’s gaze, Akaso Kaze began to chant.

"Divine thunder descending from the nine heavens, red lotus flames buried deep underground, in my name, I summon you to come!"

Akaso Kaze chanted words he didn't quite understand himself, while wiping his hand over the pile of hair.

Fire magic: Hand of Flame.

Boom.

A ball of fire rose out of thin air.

A burnt smell permeated the air.

Of course, under the action of the Mind Hand, the soul and a tuft of hair had already entered the soul space.

To increase his prestige, Akaso Kaze had designed several sets of incantations and movements.

The goal was to show off in front of the client.

The 387 onlookers were startled by the sudden rise of the fire.

But afterward, they felt a sense of inexplicable disappointment.

They watched the fire slowly dissipate.

Strange expressions slowly appeared on their faces.

"Is that it?" someone thought secretly.

"Isn't this just setting a fire?"

"It looks very ordinary."

"Is this the effect of Tokyo’s strongest Onmyoji’s exorcism?"

Everyone was muttering in their hearts when suddenly a loud thunderclap sounded outside.

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking a tree next to the villa.

All the glass was shattered.

The lights in the building also went out.

With a boom, the whole tree burned fiercely, like a huge torch, illuminating everyone’s terrified eyes.

But that wasn't all.

The surrounding trees were very dense, the fire spread quickly, and the entire forest began to burn.

Crackling and popping everywhere.

What the hell?

What’s going on?

Everyone stared at the window, dumbfounded.

Their faces were full of shock.

"Divine thunder descending from the nine heavens..."

"Red lotus flames buried deep underground..."

"This must be divine punishment..."

"As expected of Tokyo’s strongest Onmyoji."

President Yotsui and the others were shocked, remembering what Akaso Kaze had said before.

Very simple, just set a fire...

Is this just a matter of setting a fire?

This is burning a mountain!

"Lord Akaso, we doubted you before, we are truly very sorry!"

President Yotsui and the others all bowed ninety degrees.

Their attitude was as if they were looking at a god.

As for Akaso Kaze, his lips twitched twice, speechless.

Can someone tell me what’s going on?

It was supposed to be a simple show-off, how did I accidentally show off so big?

This thunder came at just the right time.

However, this burning mountain...

Won't there be trouble?

President Yotsui seemed to see Akaso Kaze’s worry and bowed: "Don't worry, the whole mountain is the private property of our Yotsui family, no one will say anything."

"And you were exorcising for our Yotsui family, this little thing is not worth mentioning."

In the morning, the police arrived, investigated the scene, took statements, and took Ichieda Takashi away.

By the time everything was done, it was already afternoon.

Akaso Kaze and the Mouri group prepared to leave.

To curry favor with Akaso Kaze, President Yotsui paid an additional 20 million yen and sent a pile of expensive gifts, filling the trunk.

Akaso Kaze became the Yotsui family’s exclusive Onmyoji.

He had gained another long-term meal ticket.

When they left, Yotsui Reika had taken a bath and dressed up beautifully to see them off.

"Lord Akaso, my daughter has just recovered and her health is not good yet. When she recovers, I will definitely let her visit you in person~｀."

President Yotsui said very respectfully.

Yotsui Reika was behind him, blinking her big eyes, curiously observing Akaso Kaze.

"This man is too handsome."

"Compared to him, those guys one, two, three, five are just trash."

"Why did I choose men from the trash?"

"I am Yotsui Reika; if I choose, I must choose the most handsome man."

"And he is so capable, being with him must be great!"

She twisted her body slightly, fully displaying the charm of her figure.

Her two expressive eyes were eager to hook Akaso Kaze.

"Hmph." Haibara Ai, who had noticed her long ago, snorted coldly.

Sure enough, it’s not good for a man to be too handsome.

There’s another competitor.
