Chapter 852

Gunta Ikumi had a slightly petite, compact handgun, Hakuba Saguru had a revolver, and Mogi Harufumi had an automatic pistol.

As for Akaso Kaze and Kaitou Kid, they didn't carry handguns at all.

For Akaso Kaze, guns were of no use.

As for Kaitou Kid, it wasn't that he hadn't found a handgun, but that he believed in the philosophy of not killing; a handgun was useless to him.

"The culprit gave each of us a handgun, which means she never intended for us to leave alive; she wanted us to kill each other."

Akaso Kaze said indifferently: "I can help everyone leave, but before that, I must find the truth here."

"Now, let us go see the souls that have already departed."

Senma Furuyo avoided everyone's line of sight and silently entered a secret room.

In this room, an entire wall was covered in monitors, playing footage captured by cameras hidden everywhere.

Below the monitors was a massive control console. Just by being here, one could easily monitor the movements of everyone in the villa.

The room was very dim, with only the monitors on the wall emitting a ghostly glow.

Just as Senma Furuyo sat down in the chair, several figures walked in silently.

Suddenly, Senma Furuyo felt a pair of palms press onto her shoulders, giving the old lady such a start that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

"Ah!"

The old lady screamed in fright, and when she looked back, it was actually Mogi Harufumi standing behind her.

Not only him, but Akaso Kaze, Hakuba Saguru, Gunta Ikumi, and Mouri Kogoro were also standing behind her.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment; everyone looked down at her, waiting for this old woman to provide an explanation.

Senma Furuyo sighed softly and turned slowly toward the monitors.

The light from the monitors cast large shadows on her face, flickering like the dying embers of a candle.

"It seems you have already solved the mystery."

"No, not yet." Mogi Harufumi shook his head.

"Oh?" Senma Furuyo was very surprised. "Since you haven't solved it, then how did you find this place? I remember this room was locked."

"Of course, it was thanks to Lord Akaso's guidance," Gunta Ikumi said.

Looking at Akaso Kaze, Senma suddenly didn't know what to say.

This Onmyoji lord was truly a existence like a bug in the system.

They had set up the game, but never imagined that just as the game had begun, someone had already jumped off the chessboard and taken the seat of the chess player...

She was silent for a while, then said slowly, "I said that the person who solves the puzzle can have half of the treasure. Lord Akaso, what do you think?"

Everyone turned their heads, looking at Akaso Kaze with worry.

Gunta Ikumi even hugged Akaso Kaze's arm tightly, as if afraid he might change his mind.

"Heh." Akaso Kaze laughed. "Do you think that even if you found the treasure here, you could take it away? I'm afraid you lack understanding of the original owner of this villa, and at the same time, you lack understanding of me."

Senma Furuyo was speechless for a moment.

She was just an old lady nearing the end of her life.

She didn't know what kind of power the original owner, Karasuma Renya, had, but she was very clear about Akaso Kaze's power.

If he wanted this villa, she could only obediently hand it over.

However, when she and Oogami Katsuyoshi first planned this incident, it seemed she never thought about the consequences of failure; even if they didn't find the treasure and failed, it would just be an old life lost.

She had lived long enough for this old life of hers.

"Judging by your meaning, it seems you already know what the treasure is."

"Then, can you tell me what the treasure is?"

Senma Furuyo looked up, staring straight at Akaso Kaze.

Her father had died because of this treasure; Karasuma Renya's treasure had become an obsession for her.

Even if she were to die, she wanted to know what the treasure was.

"This Twilight Villa has another name, called the Golden Villa," Akaso Kaze said indifferently.

"Golden Villa?"

"Strip away the outer walls of brick and stone, and the gold hidden within is revealed; the entire villa is cast from gold."
