Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

"This, really, don't cause me any trouble later, understand?" Uncle Mori said, a little annoyed.

On the bus heading to the 99th house.

The cell phone rang, and Shichie Tsukumo took it out of her handbag.

After saying "uh-huh" twice, he hung up.

Then he turned to Chi Chufeng and said, "Lord Chi Chufeng, I'm so sorry, there may be other guests at home later. Please forgive me if we are not able to entertain them properly."

"Not at all, Madam Ninety-Nine, you don't need to be so polite." Chi Chufeng shook his head, then casually asked, "Are the guests at your residence your husband's friends?"

"No, it was a famous detective invited by my husband's disciple, Sanada Ichizo. Sanada also seemed to have doubts about my husband's death, so he specially invited the recently famous detective, Mr. Mori Kogoro, to my house to investigate."

As Shichie Kujuku spoke, Akatsuki couldn't help but smirk.

Has Detective Mori also gone there?

So, does that mean that brat is definitely going to go with them too?

It's true that wherever you go, if it involves dead people, you're bound to run into Conan.

Chapter 235 How does such a young girl know me?

By the time the car reached Jiujiujia, it was already completely dark.

From the outside, the Ninety-Nine Houses appears to be a very luxurious Western-style mansion, suggesting that the magician Yuan Kang Ninety-Nine has made quite a bit of money.

"Lord Chichu, this is my home."

Standing beside Akatsuki Kaze, Kujuku Shichie looked towards the parking lot.

"That's Sanada's car. It looks like Mr. Sanada and Detective Mori are already inside."

Tsukumo Shichie walked ahead, leading Akatsuki Kaze into the villa.

The two had just reached the entrance of the villa when they heard the door creak.

Then a woman came out leading a little girl.

The woman seemed a bit aloof, and the little girl was adorable but had tears on her face, as if she had just been crying.

"Asaki, Fumino, are you guys going out?" Shichie asked.

Mako smiled and said, "Teacher's wife, you're back? Mr. Sanada just brought some guests. They said they want to investigate the real cause of the teacher's death. Bai said that the food at home might not be enough, so I was just about to go out and buy some."

"And Fumino, tomorrow is her birthday, and I want to take her to buy her a present."

Upon seeing Akatsuki, Fumino was visibly taken aback.

She raised her little head and exclaimed with surprise, "Are you Brother Chi Chu?"

huh?

How does such a young girl know me?

I don't remember that.

Akatsuka smiled and reached out to pat Fumino's little head.

"That's right, I am Chi Chufeng. Do you know me?"

Fumino nodded. "I'm Haibara and Ayumi's classmate."

Oh, classmate…

Chi Chufeng suddenly remembered.

When the plane landed at Teitan Elementary School, it seems that a little girl inexplicably gained more favorability towards her.

So it was her.

Just as Akatsuka was about to say something, Fumino suddenly hugged his leg.

"Brother Chichu, can you hug me? My father left, and I'm so heartbroken."

Mako's expression changed slightly, and she forced a smile as she said, "Fumino, didn't we agree to go buy a present?"

Chi Chufeng smiled slightly and bent down to pick up the little girl.

This woman is the murderer who killed Tsukumo Motoyasu. Her intention to take the little girl out is also malicious.

However, the case lacked conclusive evidence, so Chi Chufeng had to resort to other means.

Seeing her daughter looking so happy in Akatsuki's arms, Kujuro Shichie felt a pang of sadness.

Fumino used to be like this when she was in her father's arms.

“Ma Zi, you should go out tomorrow. Tonight, take the Onmyoji to look for evil spirits…” said Shichie Kuju.

"No need for that, Madam Ninety-Nine."

Akatsuka held Fumino in his arms, a smile on his face.

"I've solved this case. Your husband's death has absolutely nothing to do with evil spirits or anything like that!"

"He was murdered."

"What?" Everyone present was stunned.

House Ninety-nine, in the basement.

Conan looked up at a photograph hanging on the wall; the photograph showed a handsome young man.

"This person's name is Kinoshita Yoshiro, right? His photos are much cleaner than his other photos."

"That's right. He was the teacher's prized student and a renowned genius magician. Unfortunately, he passed away in an accident more than ten years ago."

0 0

Sanada Ichizo introduced the people in the photo, hesitated for a moment, and then continued:

"As for why his photos are cleaner than the others, it's probably because of Ms. Mako."

"Mako? Is that the older sister who led Fumino out to buy groceries just now?" Conan asked, a little puzzled. "Did Mako know the deceased Kinoshita Yoshiro?"

“I’m not too sure about that either.” Sanada Ichizo shook his head and then said, “However, I once saw a photo of Ms. Asako cleaning up Kinoshita Yoshiro.”

.... ...... .......

"alright!"

Uncle Mori waved his hand. "Really, it's just a photo. What does it have to do with the case? Right now, the most important thing is to find out the real cause of Tsukumo Motoyasu's death!"

“We’ve checked the locks here, and they are indeed easy to open from the inside. Furthermore, no sleeping pills were found in his system, and there were no signs of binding when his body was discovered.”

"From this perspective, it is indeed highly likely that Mr. Tsukumo Motoyasu committed suicide."

Conan shook his little head and pointed to the photo of Motoyasu Tsukumo next to him, saying:

"Mr. Motoyasu seems to like wearing magic rings on his hands."

"If someone made Mr. Motoyasu put his hands behind his back and then tied the ring with a thin thread or something similar, wouldn't Mr. Motoyasu's hands be tied behind his back by the murderer?"

"Furthermore, if it were a ring, it wouldn't leave any marks on the corpse."

Uncle Mori pondered, resting his chin on his hand, "It seems that's really true!"

Thank you to Clouds and Mist for the urging to update!

Chapter 236 Who says dead people can't talk?

Conan put his hands behind his back, mimicking the appearance of being tied up.

"If I'm tied up like this, it seems very inconvenient to move around! Let alone opening the door, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even sit up."

Kogoro Mouri nodded.

"So, if Mr. Tsukumo was murdered, the murderer must be someone who was very close to Mr. Motoyasu, such as his wife or a student."

"After all, if it were a stranger, asking Mr. Motoyasu to put his hands behind his back and tie his ring with a thin rope would definitely arouse his suspicion and he would not agree."

"Then who is the murderer? Who is the murderer?" Sanada Ichizo's eyes widened.

"The culprit? Well, I haven't figured it out yet..." Uncle Mori said with an embarrassed smile.

Conan's eyes suddenly lit up. He stood on a chair and looked at the telephone on the table, which was hidden by playing cards.

"How strange! Those two playing cards stuck together look just like this button on a telephone."

"A button?! What button?" Uncle Mori immediately ran to Conan's side and saw the phone on the table. "This is... a redial button?"

"Yeah! There must be clues left in this phone call, right?" Conan continued to act cute and innocent.

In the living room, Akatsuka Kaze sat on the sofa with Fumino in his arms, while Momochi Hironobu sat beside him.

On the sofa opposite, Miyoshi Asako's expression was stiff. Sitting next to her, Tsukumo Nanami asked excitedly:

"Lord Chichu, you just said that my husband was murdered? Then, who is the murderer? Please tell me who the murderer is!"

"The murderer? Isn't the murderer right in front of you? Right, Miss Mako?" Akatsuka said calmly, looking at Miyoshi Mako.

Kujuro Shichie turned her head and looked at Mako in surprise. "Wait, Lord Akatsuchi, you...you said the murderer is Mako? How could she be? She's my master's disciple."

Miyoshi Asako forced a smile: "Lord Akatsuki, are you saying I'm the murderer of my teacher? Don't be ridiculous. When my teacher died, I wasn't even at home; I was with my teacher's wife and Mr. Sanada..."
