Chapter 9: Conan loves eating small fish crackers

"Sister Ran, I know now. Huh, why is your face so red?"

Just as she entered the door, Conan jumped out.

"Maybe I climbed the stairs too fast. Conan, what do you know?"

Ran hurriedly covered it up.

"I know how Mr. Akaso knew it was at the Tokyo Racecourse."

The excited Conan didn't notice that Ran's expression was wrong.

"Didn't he divine it?"

Conan's words piqued Ran's curiosity.

"Hmph, how could he have divined it? It was clearly deduced."

"Sister Ran, look at this horse racing news in the newspaper. 'Powerful Emperor' is a popular racehorse at the Tokyo Racecourse. Mr. Hirota likes horse racing, so he used the horse's name to name his cat."

"Wow, so amazing!" Little stars appeared in Ran's eyes.

Conan scratched his head, proudly and modestly saying: "It's just average, I just..."

He had only said half when he heard Ran say in an admiring tone: "Mr. Akaso is too amazing. He could deduce it just by looking at it once, while we couldn't see it even after looking for several days."

"Uh~" Conan almost choked to death.

But thinking about it, it really was true.

Kaze Akaso judged the result just by looking at it once, while he only figured it out after knowing the result and happening to see the horse racing news.

The difference was not just a little bit.

Could it be that I am really not as good as him?

"I didn't expect his deductive ability to be so strong. I wonder who is better, him or Shinichi."

Hearing Ran compare him to another man, Conan was instantly unhappy.

"Hmph, he just had good luck and happened to think of it. How could he compare to my... Shinichi brother, ouch."

A sudden sharp pain on his head, as if someone had knocked him, and it hit exactly on the large bump.

Conan grimaced in pain.

Looking in the mirror, the bump on his head had grown a circle larger, bright red and translucent, with blood streaks.

Next door, Kaze Akaso withdrew his Hand of Intent.

"Telling you to be cocky, I won't let this bump go down."

The next day, using prediction magic, he quickly found Kenzo Hirota and followed him to find where he was staying.

Then, by evening, Kaze Akaso's space had an extra fresh soul.

"This is completely a hanged ghost."

Looking at the soul in the space, Kaze Akaso used the Hand of Intent to flick it.

Kenzo Hirota was hanging on a rope, swaying back and forth, not growing larger at all.

Yo, it actually can't be angered?

Click on the detailed information.

[Kenzo Hirota: Killed by the Black Organization because of greed; his only wish is to have his beloved cat accompany him.]

Have his beloved cat accompany him?

Does this mean he wants those cats to die early?

What kind of pervert is this?

Cats are so cute, how can you eat cats?

The next evening, downstairs, he ran into Ran Mouri returning from school.

"Mr. Akaso, what are you doing?"

Ran Mouri asked curiously.

"Just adopted a few cats, taking them out for a walk."

Four cute little kittens crawled out from behind Kaze Akaso.

"Ah, so cute!"

Her girlish heart was instantly overflowing.

Ran Mouri picked up a kitten.

The kitten was female and very unhappy, kicking Ran's chest continuously.

Kaze Akaso, while watching where the kitten was kicking, glanced at Kenzo Hirota in the space with his intent.

The soul swelled up again.

Need to deflate it for him.

Zzz.

Magic Extraction has miraculous effects.

The swelling was instantly eliminated.

"Sister Ran, what are you doing?"

Conan came running over, panting.

He saw it just as he turned the corner.

The two were chatting and laughing, and Kaze Akaso was still staring at Ran's chest.

Conan glared at Kaze Akaso, wanting to kill his love rival with his gaze.

"Conan, how can you be so impolite? You should call him Brother Akaso."

"I..." Conan almost cursed, but had to swallow his anger, lower his head, and respectfully call him Brother Akaso.

"Good, very obedient. Come, here are a few crackers for you." ===== CHAPTER 25 =====

Conan took the small fish crackers in a daze and put them in his mouth.

Crunch.

Yo, it's quite crispy.

It's just that the taste is a bit strange.

Why is it tuna flavored?

He had truly never eaten crackers with this taste before.

A few crackers quickly went into Conan's small stomach.

He smacked his lips, feeling he hadn't eaten enough.

Meowing sounds came from the ground.

Conan lowered his head to look.

Three little kittens were surrounding him, meowing continuously.

Hating the house and its crow, he didn't like these kittens either.

He secretly pushed them with his foot.

Then, he saw Kaze Akaso reach into his pocket.

And pull out a handful of small fish crackers.

"This person isn't completely useless; he knows what children like."

Conan extended his hand with anticipation.

But Kaze Akaso let go, throwing all the small fish crackers on the ground.

The three little kittens immediately snatched them up and ate them deliciously.

Conan's body instantly stiffened.

"Brother Akaso, these are... cat crackers?"

"Yeah, didn't I give you a few just now? To let you play by feeding the cats."

Kaze Akaso raised his head in surprise, the amusement in his eyes impossible to hide.

"Conan, you didn't eat them yourself, did you?"

"You tricked me! Ugh~"

Conan turned his head and began to gag. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====

After a long time, Conan gagged until tears came out.

Unfortunately, he didn't vomit anything at all.

It just so happened that school had just ended, and his stomach was growling with hunger.

A few crackers down, they were immediately digested.

"Ran, he did it on purpose, he definitely did it on purpose!"

Conan complained angrily.

"It's all my fault."

Kaze Akaso said to Ran with an apologetic face: "I just wanted Conan to feed the kittens; who knew he would misunderstand."

"It's okay, he only ate a few, it shouldn't be a big problem. Mr. Akaso, you don't need to apologize; it's just that he is too greedy, even snatching cat food."

Ran didn't care at all.

"Ah!"

Conan was going crazy.

Would I snatch cat food?

Look at how many there are on the ground; did I snatch them?

Hmm?

He was suddenly stunned.

"This cat seems a bit familiar."

Conan frowned, looking at the kitten at his feet.

"Yes, you should have seen its photo."

Kaze Akaso said casually.

"Photo? When? Why don't I remember?"

"The commission from two days ago about finding someone, the cat in the photo."

"Oh, so it's that one. How did it end up with Mr. Akaso?"

Ran asked curiously.

"Sigh." Kaze Akaso sighed, "You guys don't know yet, that father named Kenzo Hirota was murdered, and his daughter is nowhere to be found."

"There are only four cats left at home. If no one takes care of them, they will starve to death sooner or later, so I adopted them."

"What?" Ran Mouri and Conan both exclaimed.

The two ran back in a hurry.

By evening, Ran Mouri came to visit again.

"Mr. Akaso, you must help me. Miss Akemi cannot be found; she must be in danger."

Kaze Akaso looked troubled.

"Divination is not that easy; it requires a lot of magic power. The consumption from the last divination hasn't recovered yet. If I force a divination now, I will definitely have to pay a significant price."

Hearing his words, Ran's eyes slowly dimmed.

Kaze Akaso curled his lips slightly and changed the subject.

"However, for Ran, I am willing to make a sacrifice."

Ran instantly raised her head. In her eyes, Kaze Akaso's figure instantly became tall, shining with the light of justice.

"Mr. Akaso, you are so good to me!"

[Ding, Ran Mouri has developed favorability for you; current favorability level is 4.]

It increased again, and I don't know what the benefits are.

Kaze Akaso smacked his lips and followed Ran back to the detective agency.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao..."

Kaze Akaso closed his eyes, pressing his hand on Miss Akemi's information, and began to recite the Tao Te Ching.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said: "Calculated it. It's strange, her name is not Akemi Hirota, but... Akemi Miyano."

"What? The name is fake?" A light flashed behind Conan's glasses.

"Where is she?" Ran didn't think too much.

"Her location is in a hotel. Let's go, I'll take you there."

Kaze Akaso stood up, and his body swayed.

Ran Mouri hurriedly supported him.

"Mr. Akaso, thank you for your hard work."

The girl's face was full of apology.

The two leaned against each other, walking downstairs like a couple.

Conan's face was flushed with blood.

He clenched his small fists and rushed up.

Then, boom.

"What are you rushing for, you brat?"

Kogoro Mouri punched skillfully, creating a bump on Conan.

Half an hour later, in the lobby of a luxury hotel.

Kaze Akaso nodded firmly.

"It's in 802. You guys go ahead; I won't go up, I'll rest in the lobby."

"I'll stay here with you."

Having caused Kaze Akaso to be so tired, Ran Mouri felt very guilty.

"Sister Ran, come up with us; there must be bad guys in the room." ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
