Chapter 896

Oga Miwa said while crying.

Akaso Kaze finally understood.

If certain things didn't happen, I'm afraid hitting her to death would be useless.

He sighed.

The old lady of the Oga family really knew his weaknesses.

He stepped forward, hugged Oga Miwa's slender waist, and asked: "Is your grandmother willing to pass the position of family head to you?"

Oga Miwa turned her head with tears in her eyes, "As long as Lord Akaso requests it, she will do it."

These wealthy families, for the sake of family continuity, really stop at nothing.

Akaso Kaze curled his lip.

"Will you be obedient?"

Oga Miwa nodded repeatedly.

"Then, you have to endure it..."

Oga Miwa suddenly widened her eyes.

She wanted to say, wrong, not there.

But she held it back.

Does it matter if it's here or there?

Anyway, as long as Lord Akaso is satisfied, it's fine.

She bit her lip tightly and endured it.

For the future of the Oga family, she could only sacrifice everything.

At a shrine in Kunitachi, Tokyo, in the quiet night, 3 men were leaning against a wooden house, seemingly waiting for something, impatiently lighting a cigarette and checking their watches.

"Isn't that guy Benkei too slow?!"

"Yeah, he said the puzzle had been solved. He should be the one most interested in this."

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a cold arrow shot from the darkness and hit the heart of one of the men wearing glasses.

As the other two exclaimed, a figure rushed out from the opposite side like lightning, drawing a sword like flowing water, slashing vertically and horizontally.

Accompanied by the sound of screams and falling to the ground, the person didn't stop, shook off the blood, sheathed the sword, and only then picked up the 3 volumes of "Gikeiki" and left.

The moonlight reflected on the old man's mask, revealing a bit of chill. The headscarf and the blue-gray samurai outfit he wore were distinctly different from the three people who were killed, as if he had returned to the era of ancient swordsmanship.

A few days later, a joint meeting was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Officer Megure, along with representatives from all sides, explained from the chair: "According to the investigation, it has been confirmed that these five people killed in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto were members of the thief group Genji Hotaru. In view of this, this incident will be jointly investigated by Tokyo, Osaka Prefecture, and Kyoto Prefecture."

"We discovered that since the third year of Heisei, Genji Hotaru has been targeting famous Buddha statues or artworks, centered in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. All members call each other by the names of Yoshitsune's retainers, and everyone has a copy of 'Gikeiki'."

Officer Shiratori reported: "The leader took the name Yoshitsune, and there are eight members in total, including Benkei and Ise Saburo. Currently, except for Yoshitsune, the other five have been killed one after another, and even the 'Gikeiki' they held have been taken away."

"We only know that the murderer is an expert in swordsmanship and archery. As for other aspects, there are no clues yet, including the age and gender of the three Yoshitsunes, which are still unclear."

"In short," Officer Megure raised his voice, "In any case, we must arrest the murderer and the other members of this thief group as soon as possible. For this reason, we have specially invited the famous Tokyo Onmyoji, Lord Akaso Kaze, to conduct the investigation!"

The meeting room was instantly in an uproar, and reporters raised their hands to ask questions.

Onmyoji Akaso Kaze, this is a person who has become famous nationwide recently.

His news is very popular, especially among those girls who are flocking to him; he is even more popular than a star.

Kyoto, as the name suggests, is the ancient capital of Japan and a famous historical city.

"What? The National Police Agency asked Brother Akaso to investigate that Genji Hotaru case?!"

Conan was incredibly envious.

"What? Did the National Police Agency also ask Detective Mouri?" Akaso Kaze asked casually.

"Not that, but a temple called Sanno-ji asked Uncle to investigate a case."

Conan said somewhat coyly: "By the way, Brother Akaso, can you let me participate in the Genji Hotaru case?"

Akaso Kaze thought for a moment, nodded, "Alright, I happened to invite Toyama Kazuha to play in Kyoto. You help me investigate first, but you have to be quick. When I make a move, you won't have a chance."

"Brother Akaso, you are really too kind!"

Conan was so moved he almost kissed him, but was slapped away by Akaso Kaze.

Outside Sanno-ji, a luxury car stopped at the entrance, and Akaso Kaze, Kazuha, Mouri Kogoro, and Conan got out of the car one after another.

Outside, one could faintly see cherry blossoms. According to the driver, Sanno-ji was quite famous in the nearby area, and the Buddha statues and cherry blossoms in the temple were quite popular.

It just so happened that in a few days, it would be the 12-year opening ceremony of the temple's main Buddha, the Medicine Buddha.

Entering from the temple gate and passing through the stone path, one could see a group of people talking in the middle of the spacious courtyard, including two monks.
