Chapter 758

~5 min read 953 words

Hearing his words, Sera Masumi had black lines running down her forehead.

Didn't you already know who the killer was? What magic power do you need to consume?

This is a typical charlatan scam.

Inspector Megure, however, wasn't discouraged at all; it wasn't his first time dealing with Akaso Kaze.

This Onmyoji was actually quite easy to talk to, and his relationship with him was also quite good.

He chuckled. "Akaso-sama, you know that our Metropolitan Police Department's budget is limited, but if you have any other requests, we will definitely help you fulfill them if we can."

"Is that so? Alright then." Akaso Kaze smiled.

"We originally came here to eat at the cake buffet, but who knew it would be full, and this..."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Inspector Megure patted his chest and agreed.

Then he immediately turned and instructed Takagi, "Immediately seal off the cake buffet restaurant. Keep only the staff and the pastry chefs; persuade everyone else to leave. I suspect there is evidence of a crime there."

Huh? Can you do that?

Sera Masumi was dumbfounded.

Is this guy an inspector?

He couldn't be the Onmyoji's lackey, could he?

He actually cleared out all the guests at the cake buffet just because of one word from Akaso Kaze?

Takagi didn't hesitate at all and led his men toward the front desk.

Anyway, the guests wouldn't suffer any losses; the hotel would refund their money, and they would all essentially have had a free meal.

It was estimated that no one would have any objections.

Even if some powerful person felt they had lost face, they would likely leave once they heard it was the request of the Onmyoji Akaso Kaze.

No one would go up against him just for a bite of cake.

Seeing Inspector Megure be so decisive, Akaso Kaze nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at the middle-aged woman who said there was someone on the roof.

"Mrs. Hirukawa, I am the Onmyoji Akaso Kaze. I already know what you did. Confess voluntarily, and I can have Kamizumi Sadao's soul apologize to you solemnly."

Huh?

Kamizumi Sadao's soul apologizing?

Sera Masumi had black lines running down her forehead.

Are you trying to fool ghosts with that talk?

Kamizumi Sadao had been smashed into a meat patty; where would there be any soul, let alone an apology?

"Wuu wuu, wuu wuu, Akaso-sama, is what you said true?"

Mrs. Hirukawa covered her face and began to cry.

"Of course it's true. Not only will I have him apologize, but I will also teach him a harsh lesson so he spends the rest of his time in remorse. That way, your parents can also rest in peace."

Akaso Kaze said faintly.

"I, I confess. I killed Kamizumi Sadao. The method I used was..."

Mrs. Hirukawa wiped her tears, looked up, and began to blabber on.

Huh?

She really confessed?

Sera Masumi's eyeballs were about to fall out.

"He's quite amazing, isn't he?"

A lonely voice came from the side.

Sera Masumi turned her head to look.

Conan was standing next to her with his hands in his pockets, his face full of helplessness.

"It's truly our misfortune to be born in the same era as Akaso Kaze."

The little brat's voice carried a sense of world-weariness inconsistent with his age.

Sensing Sera Masumi's strange look, Conan suddenly reacted.

Like changing his face, he instantly revealed a very childish, very innocent, and shy smile.

Scratching the back of his head, he said, "Haha, I'm just repeating what Uncle Mouri says."

After Conan finished speaking, he hopped and skipped toward Akaso Kaze.

While running, he cheered childishly, "We get to eat cake this time!"

After Mrs. Hirukawa confessed, Akaso Kaze took her into an empty room.

After a while, Mrs. Hirukawa walked out, covering her mouth...

She bowed deeply to Akaso Kaze and calmly followed the police away.

Akaso Kaze then took Lan, Sonoko, Conan, and Sera Masumi to the second-floor cake buffet.

The five of them sat at one table.

Akaso Kaze sat in the middle, with Lan on his left and Sonoko on his right.

Conan and Sera Masumi sat opposite them.

A circle of pastry chefs and waiters surrounded them.

They were there specifically to serve them.

"Eating cake like this feels so stylish," Sonoko said with a giggle.

"Thanks to Akaso-san," Mao Li Lan also smiled happily.

Watching the interaction between the three, Sera Masumi was very surprised.

It seemed like both girls had a relationship with Akaso Kaze, and they were getting along quite harmoniously.

Truly a strange phenomenon.

She glanced at Conan next to her.

How strange. According to the information she had gathered, wasn't Mao Li Lan Kudo Shinichi's girlfriend?

Why didn't he have any reaction?

Could it be that Conan really isn't Kudo Shinichi?

Conan was actually long used to it.

He ate his cake silently.

This cake is Akaso Kaze, I'll bite you to death, ah woo.

Conan muttered silently in his heart.

While eating cake, Lan asked, "The hotel has no rooms, so what will you do, Sera?"

Sera Masumi frowned and looked at the sky outside; it was indeed getting a bit late.

"Why don't you stay at my place? There are still plenty of rooms in my building, and Lan's house is right next door. We can play together when we're free."

Akaso Kaze said.

Hearing that Lan's house was right next door, Sera Masumi's eyes lit up immediately.

Wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity to observe Conan's every move?

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble." Akaso Kaze smiled.

With you here, I can use Akai Shuichi with even more peace of mind. ===== CHAPTER 760 =====
