Chapter 664: Look, Akaso-sama, isn't it very eerie?

A few minutes later, Akaso Kaze raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Someone rang your doorbell, and then when you came out, there was no one in sight, is that right?" Akaso Kaze confirmed.

Coming to find me, a great Onmyoji, for such a small matter?

That's a bit strange.

"Yes, this happens every Saturday," Rena Mizunashi nodded, "And I don't think it's just a simple prank!"

"How so?"

"It's like this," Rena Mizunashi explained, "Last time, I intended to crouch behind the door to wait for that person; as soon as the doorbell rang, I would open the door immediately."

"However, when the doorbell actually rang and I opened the door, I didn't see a single shadow."

Akaso Kaze frowned slightly: "How much time passed from when you heard the doorbell to when you opened the door?"

"At most, three seconds."

"In such a short time, it would be very difficult to hide somewhere out of sight, right? Is the terrain around your home complex?" Akaso Kaze asked.

"I live in a regular apartment in Beika Town; outside the door is a corridor, and there's nowhere to hide anyone."

"Look, Akaso-sama, isn't it very eerie?"

A trace of panic appeared on the girl's face.

"Hmm, it is indeed a bit strange," Akaso Kaze nodded.

"That's why I wanted to ask Onmyoji-sama to help take a look; I'm afraid I've been targeted by some strange thing. Please!"

Rena Mizunashi pressed her hands together in supplication.

Akaso Kaze looked at her, pondered for two seconds, and finally nodded slightly.

"Alright, I can go take a look, but is this a formal commission?"

"Of course, I'll transfer the commission fee to you right now!" Rena Mizunashi said immediately.

Akaso Kaze couldn't help but take another look at her.

Spending 20 million for such a small matter, this host is truly wealthy.

Or perhaps, she just wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

Akaso Kaze drove Rena Mizunashi away; Yoko Okino had to rush back to the TV station because she had a program to record that night.

Not long after, several people snuck into Akaso Kaze's home.

Gin, Vodka, Korn, and Chianti stood in the corridor, their gazes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Chianti wore a hat, her eyes sweeping over the row of doors.

"This Onmyoji is really rich; he actually owns so many properties, all entire buildings."

Gin pressed down his hat with a cold expression: "Enough with the nonsense. This should be the most likely place to hide Vermouth. Even if we can't find her, we should be able to find clues to her hiding spot."

"Then, I'll go check the Onmyoji's bedroom."

Chianti twisted her waist and walked toward a room first.

Gin glanced at her and chose another room.

The four of them searched separately.

In the speeding sports car, Akaso Kaze curled his lip.

As expected.

Rena Mizunashi's commission has a purpose; it's to search for traces of Vermouth.

It seems the Black Organization still places great importance on the Thousand-Faced Witch.

It's just a pity that I don't want you to find her; even if you turned all of Tokyo upside down, you wouldn't see Vermouth once.

However, having kept this woman for so long, it seems difficult to obtain more information.

Perhaps it's time to let her go back.

The corners of Akaso Kaze's mouth rose slowly, revealing a faint smile.

3rd floor of an apartment in Beika Town.

"This is where I live..."

Rena Mizunashi stopped in front of a room.

Akaso Kaze looked around.

The room Rena Mizunashi lived in was at the end of the corridor; on one side of the door was a railing, and below the railing led directly to the ground. Jumping down from here was not only dangerous, but the commotion would definitely not be small.

And the other side could be seen at a glance, with no obstacles.

"Ms. Mizunashi, let's test the scene and see how long it takes you to open the door."

"Okay, no problem," Rena Mizunashi nodded.

A moment later, she opened the door, entered the room, and closed the door.

"I'm going to ring the doorbell!" Akaso Kaze gave a reminder, then rang the doorbell and looked at his watch.

Click.

The door opened quickly.

"3.23 seconds," Akaso Kaze looked at the corridor.

"In such a short time, running to the end of the corridor is simply not enough, and even if you prepared a device in advance to hide on the outer wall of the apartment, such a short time is not enough to climb over the railing."

"Yes, it's really very strange; I looked at both sides immediately at the time. Onmyoji-sama, come in and sit down first," Rena Mizunashi invited.

Akaso Kaze nodded, changed into slippers, and followed Rena Mizunashi into the room.

"Do you live in this apartment alone?"

Akaso Kaze looked at the simply decorated living room.

Rena Mizunashi nodded: "Yes, I'm not a local of Tokyo; my parents are both out of town, and I came to Tokyo to make my way all by myself."

"So that's how it is; being able to become a director at Nichiuri TV, Ms. Mizunashi is quite impressive."

Rena Mizunashi waved her hand and smiled: "Where, you flatter me. Would you like to drink something?"

"Give me a cup of coffee."

"Please wait a moment," Rena Mizunashi said, then walked toward the refrigerator.
