Chapter 853

~4 min read 674 words

Except for Kaitou Kid, who already knew, everyone else gasped.

Everyone was speechless for a moment; they had always known Karasuma was wealthy, but they never imagined he could be wealthy to this extent.

A villa built entirely of gold was truly beyond ordinary imagination.

Knowing what the treasure was, Senma Furuyo felt empty inside.

A golden villa had separated her and her father by life and death.

A golden villa had stained her hands with blood.

Now, even if she knew, she could no longer possess it.

Was this worth it, or was it not?

"My father was an archaeologist in the past, invited to this villa 40 years ago. That centenarian billionaire, Karasuma Renya, knew of clues to a considerable treasure in this villa left to him by his mother, so he wanted to invite talented people from all walks of life to find this treasure for him before he died."

"Because this work was very tempting, and my father attached a check to every letter he sent, my mother and I were overjoyed. Who would have thought that after half a year, we would stop receiving letters and money, and my father, without telling us where he was going, lost contact just like that."

Akaso Kaze listened quietly as she recounted the story of the villa.

This villa was of great importance, so he was very patient.

"The truth of this matter was only discovered when I placed the last letter my father sent under a light. That letter was covered in holes made by needles; it was the words my father had pricked out with a needle."

"And what those words indicated was the code to find the treasure. It also recorded the atrocities of Karasuma Renya, who invited many scholars to participate in the treasure hunt and killed them one by one because they didn't find the treasure."

Akaso Kaze did not speak.

He was very clear now that this villa, named Twilight, was stained with blood in every corner.

Buried beneath the bricks and stones was not gold, but countless wronged souls who had died within.

"So, you knew that even if the people who came found the treasure, they would still have to die."

"Yes," Senma Furuyo sighed deeply.

Hundreds of people had died here in the past; how could the few of them possibly escape?

No matter the result, they could not escape the word 'death'.

"I am not afraid of death; I just want to find the truth of my father's death. If I could find his remains or belongings, that would be even better."

Senma Furuyo looked at Akaso Kaze with expectant eyes.

"Lord Onmyoji, I can give you the entire villa as a commission fee; can you help me?"

Akaso Kaze raised an eyebrow.

This old lady had quite a lot of courage.

This was an asset worth hundreds of billions, yet she was handing it over just for the truth.

Akaso Kaze would certainly not refuse such a commission.

He nodded indifferently.

Senma Furuyo's eyes lit up, and she immediately took out a transfer contract.

She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Under the envious gazes of everyone, this villa made of gold became Akaso Kaze's property.

Although everyone's expressions seemed unchanged, the thoughts in their hearts were unknown.

Akaso Kaze took the contract.

He led everyone toward the dining hall.

On the way, Senma Furuyo explained all her arrangements.

Using Kaitou Kid's name to lure detectives into the trap.

Using a life-and-death thrilling game to stimulate the hidden true abilities of the famous detectives.

After everything was over, the entire crime could be framed on Kaitou Kid.

Kaitou Kid couldn't help but curse inwardly as he listened.

Why am I so unlucky, ending up as the scapegoat? Why didn't anyone frame Akaso Kaze?

He secretly peeked at Akaso Kaze's back in front.

His heart was full of envy.

Hakuba Saguru suddenly asked: "Then why did you kill my hawk? Was your plan to silence even the animals?"
