Chapter 765: The shocking Real Illusion

Zekuri Isao shook his head. "I'm not one of those fools; I'm not someone you can just fool. I want to hear your deduction. It doesn't matter if I kill the wrong person, but I will absolutely not let the criminal who killed my sister go."

Akaso Kaze understood.

Isn't this just "better to kill three innocent people than to let one guilty person go"?

To be honest, he didn't really remember the details of this case that clearly.

But it didn't matter; he had magic.

Real Illusion!

Akaso Kaze waved his hand.

The walls of the detective agency around them suddenly disappeared one by one.

The room changed piece by piece, turning into a room at a hot spring inn.

"Th-this is..."

Everyone was stunned.

Real Illusion can create scenes that exist between reality and illusion.

As for the source of this scene, it was Zekuri Isao.

Noah's Ark, which no one saw, was currently floating above Zekuri Isao's head.

Its hands were pressed onto Zekuri Isao's brain.

Just like the "Cocoon" from before, it could extract human brain activity completely and, combined with Akaso Kaze's magic, recreate the scene from back then.

The time was the 14th of last month.

Zekuri Isao was staying next door to his sister. He suddenly received an email from his sister that said "Goodbye." Feeling strange, he went to knock on his sister's door, but there was no response.

In his desperation, Zekuri Isao broke the balcony window and entered the room, finding it full of steam.

In the bathroom, his sister had slit her wrists and soaked them in the hot water of the bathtub. She had already stopped breathing, and she was still holding the room key and her phone.

Looking at his sister's final appearance, Zekuri Isao's eyes turned red.

"That's right, the scene at the time was like this, but I want to find the killer, not relive the scene I saw back then!"

"Don't be in such a hurry. You didn't want to find the killer directly, you wanted to hear the deduction, right?"

Akaso Kaze said faintly.

While trying the door, he said, "The guest room door isn't an automatic lock; it's a manual lock. It looks like a completely sealed room."

"But something happened at the time that made you suspicious."

Just as Akaso Kaze finished speaking, there was a clanging sound from the balcony window outside.

Sera Masumi hurriedly ran over to take a look. She didn't see anyone, but she found some tiny glass shards on the balcony outside the window.

"It's really suspicious. When Mr. Zekuri entered, he broke the glass toward the inside; how could there be so many shards falling outside?"

Sera Masumi frowned and said, "It seems the culprit must have been hiding somewhere in the room, and while Mr. Zekuri was distracted by the bathroom, they secretly slipped out through the broken glass door."

Zekuri Isao looked at Akaso Kaze for a while, and his emotions calmed down.

He pointed to the bath mat and said, "Look, there's my sister's bloody handprint on this. She must have grabbed the mat when she was trying to escape desperately after the culprit slit her wrists. Otherwise, how could there be blood in such a place?"

Akaso Kaze nodded and asked, "Are the only suspects these three ladies?"

"Only the three of them went to my sister's room before the incident," Zekuri Isao pressed the middle-aged women. "Right?"

"Y-yes," the plump woman stammered. "The four of us, including Miho, had agreed that whoever broke a million sales first would treat the others to a hot spring inn."

"Miho became a bestselling writer, and since it was a rare opportunity, she signed the first edition of her debut book for us. We even discussed it enthusiastically on SNS."

"So we all went to her room that day, but we all happened to miss each other."

The thin woman with glasses and the others finished speaking, and under the threat of Zekuri Isao's gun, they hurriedly took out the signed books.

"It's this one."

"Hmph!" Zekuri Isao didn't have a good attitude toward the women and continued to turn to Akaso Kaze to explain.

"Just in case, I said my sister and Detective Mouri were friends. If they wanted to hear a case-solving story, they had to bring this book that could prove their relationship with my sister. There's even a date on the signature! This is evidence that these three people saw my sister on the day of the incident!"

"That makes it simple." Akaso Kaze smiled slightly.

He looked at the tall, thin woman. "Let's start with Mrs. Nibe."

Sera Masumi was very shocked to see the scene of Mrs. Nibe entering the room recreated.

However, she had also heard of the release of the "Cocoon," and felt that this must be something similar, used by the Onmyoji to solve the case.

Her attention wasn't on the case right now.

With such technology, solving cases became very simple.

But the most important thing now was how to control Zekuri Isao, right?

Otherwise, even if the killer was found, the danger wouldn't be resolved. If Zekuri Isao lost control and detonated the bomb directly, it would be even worse.

And Zekuri Isao was very vigilant now, his hand always on the bomb button; there was no way to make a move.

Sera Masumi grabbed her messy hair in anxiety.
