Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

In the parking lot, a car opened its door and a person got out. It was Ze Mu Gongping. He had actually arrived here at this time.

He stared intently at the restaurant, a complex expression flickering in his eyes.

This place was supposed to be where he would soar to great heights, but now he can only destroy it. How ironic.

But now that we've come this far, there's nothing to hesitate about.

He took a backpack out of the trunk. The backpack was heavy and obviously contained a lot of things. If it were opened, it would shock many people, because it was full of explosives, enough to level this place. This place would become the graveyard of those damned guys!

The only regret is that Tsuji Hiroki actually survived, which is a bit of a pity. However, after the eye drops were used, his pupils were in a state of astigmatism for more than ten days, so he will not be able to participate in the upcoming golf tournament.

This must have been a heavy blow to that unruly fellow.

Stepping into the restaurant, the entire place was spotless and brand new, but there wasn't a single staff member in sight.

This is quite normal. The restaurant won't open for another few days, so the staff don't need to come to work yet. They just come in the morning to clean up and then leave. So right now, this huge restaurant is only occupied by the owner, which is of course the best opportunity.

The building structure here is quite unique. Each floor is a private area with no direct elevator access. To get from the first floor to the second floor, you need to take a cable car. However, the cable car is highly automated. Once you get on, you just need to press a button to reach your destination automatically, which is essentially a different kind of elevator.

Arriving outside the office of the boss, Xu Shengyi, I gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Sawaki Kohei walked in and saw Asahi Katsuyoshi sitting in his office, pretending to appreciate wine. He sneered inwardly, thinking that such a vulgar fellow would never know anything about wine.

"Oh, it's Zemu. Please have a seat. You came here in advance to familiarize yourself with the environment, right? What do you think? Isn't my Crystal Restaurant magnificent? You'll be one of the owners here in the future, although it'll just be one of the shops."

However, if you do it well, the profits can be quite substantial. You need to use your strengths to mix even better drinks for your customers. Your past actions have been too conservative.”

By this time, Ze Mugong was filled with murderous intent and had no intention of continuing to feign politeness with this money-obsessed guy.

“Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi, I have a bottle of Châteauroux wine that I have been collecting for a long time. It would be perfect as a gift for the opening of Crystal’s business.”

Xu Shengyi's face lit up with joy, not because of the bottle of wine, but because of the other party's gesture of giving a gift.

This guy has always been a perfectionist and never lowered his standards, but now he's actually giving me gifts. This is a huge improvement!

He immediately stood up and said, "Great! I was just thinking of having a drink too. Let's finish this bottle together today as an early celebration for our restaurant."

As he spoke, he had already reached Sawaki Kohei's front, but at that moment, a fierce glint appeared in Sawaki Kohei's eyes. He suddenly pulled out a rope, put it around Asahi Katsuyoshi's neck, and began to pull on it with all his might.

Before Xu Shengyi could react, he could no longer breathe, and his mind went completely blank.

"You idiot who knows nothing about wine, go to hell!"

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Mr. Zeki is really impatient. He wants to kill me as soon as we meet. It's astonishing."

Chapter 375 A Dead End

"What?".

Sawaki Kohei, who was enjoying the thrill of killing, was suddenly shocked. His hand trembled, and the rope in his hand loosened.

Xu Shengyi, who was struggling desperately, was able to break free immediately. He scrambled to the side and gasped for breath, feeling a great terror between life and death.

Those who have never experienced the feeling of being near death cannot understand the horror of it. At this moment, air re-enters the chest cavity, and the lungs re-absorb air, which makes him feel that he has survived again. A feeling of surviving a disaster arises spontaneously.

"Who is it? Come out now, I've seen you!"

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a tall young man walked in slowly. His steps were relaxed and leisurely, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll. However, with each step he took, his figure was illusory, and his body was already several meters away. After two steps, he was already in front of him.

"Mr. Sawaki Kohei, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's good. It seems that after several killings, you have gained your own insights into killing. Your methods are becoming more and more skillful, and you don't hesitate at all. Very good."

This bizarre scene had already sent shivers down Ze Muping's spine.

Who exactly is this handsome young man in front of us?

Who are you?!

Miyazaki Yu looked at him coldly, as if he were looking at a dead man.

At this moment, Asahi Katsuyoshi also recovered. He stood up, clutching his neck, and stepped aside, glaring fiercely at Sawaki Kohei.

"Zemu, what are you trying to do? Are you crazy? Are you trying to kill me?"

Sawaki Kohei's previously calm face suddenly turned ferocious.

"What am I going to do? Of course, I'm going to kill you, you bastard who knows nothing about wine but uses money to hoard and profit from it!"

Xu Shengyi was pale and speechless.

"What are you saying? Wine is meant to be sold and drunk. Is that why you want to kill me?"

Ze Mu Gongping sneered, "Of course you have no problem buying wine, and you have no problem selling wine, but you idiot, you don't understand wine at all. You don't even know the basics of wine. You're wrong about the best temperature for storing wine. Those wines in your hands are simply a waste of your talents!"

I could practically hear those bottles of liquor wailing in agony as they landed in your hands. Better to just destroy them altogether!

At this moment, he was in a state of madness, like a vengeful ghost, with fierce and sharp eyes, as if he would transform into a vengeful ghost at any moment and pounce on Xu Shengyi.

Xu Shengyi had just escaped death, and now, seeing the other party's ferocious expression, which resembled that of a vengeful ghost, he was so horrified that he couldn't speak.

After chuckling, Sawaki Kohei turned to look at Miyazaki Yu.

"I remember who you are now. You are Miyazaki Yu, who is known as the youngest swordsman. I have seen the video of your fight against Kaito Kid. Your strength is indeed terrifying, but I still want to know how you figured out that it was me!"

We've never crossed paths before, and I've never appeared in your life. In other words, you and I are complete strangers. How could you possibly suspect me?

Miyazaki Yu sneered inwardly. Although he no longer had the foresight he once had regarding this case, his reasoning ability was now completely different from when his skeleton began to traverse the universe.

With his powerful mental strength, combined with the ability to create a memory palace, a mental world, and multitask, he can simulate all situations multiple times in a short period of time, a capability that rivals that of a computer.

Moreover, he was already quite intelligent. The greatest wealth of his two lifetimes was not foresight, but rather a kind of accumulation and refinement. This accumulation of wisdom is the true source of wealth.

True strength lies not in external abilities, but in a person's will and wisdom. All other external things, even innate ones, are merely things that can be changed.

"Mr. Zeki, your method is indeed very ingenious, but you have also made two fatal mistakes. One is that you ultimately underestimated the famous detective, and the other is that you ultimately underestimated me!"

As he spoke, his fierce aura surged instantly, and a terrifying pressure pressed down. The psychic power that combined mental strength and sword energy pushed out like a wall of energy, directly knocking Ze Muping away. His body crashed into the wall with a bang.

"What is this? Is it his aura or some other ability? He didn't even move a single finger, yet I was powerless to resist!"

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and the door was opened again.

"Miyazaki, don't be impulsive! You can't kill someone!"

Inspector Megure squeezed through the door, panting heavily. His plump body swayed, and his fat jiggled.

But at that moment, Ze Muping rushed over, pulled out a knife, and held it to Xu Shengyi's neck. However, due to the impact, his hand was trembling, and the tip of the knife made a wound on Xu Shengyi's neck, from which blood immediately flowed out.

Xu Shengyi felt like he was going to die. He had just escaped death, and now he was being held hostage by this guy.

Miyazaki Yu wore a cold smile. He could have easily stopped it, but he deliberately didn't, allowing the other party to kidnap Asahi Katsuyoshi. That was his intention.

“Inspector Megure, as you can see, it wasn’t me who wanted to kill, but rather this Sawaki Kohei who wanted to lose his balance and kill. He has attempted to kill multiple times, and on top of that, he took hostages. For a dangerous criminal like Mr. Sawaki, shouldn’t the conditions for killing him have been met?”

"Killed! This..."

Inspector Megure's face darkened. It seemed that Miyazaki still wanted to kill Sawaki. And he was right; for such a vicious criminal, the conditions for killing him had indeed been met.

Kogoro Mouri and the others who had just arrived all witnessed this scene.

"Mr. Sawaki, it's not too late to stop now. Although you have plotted murder multiple times, you have not actually killed anyone. There is still room for maneuver. Don't do anything foolish. Release Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi now!"

Sawaki Kohei sneered: "Detective Mouri, are you trying to fool a child? Now that you've found me, you should be well aware that I killed Murakami Jo. Killing one person or several makes no difference!"

It's infuriating! If it weren't for this kid, and all of you—not only that bastard Asahi Katsuyoshi, but also that Nana Koyama, and that Minoru Nishina who wrote books and spread false knowledge about alcohol—I would have killed them all. But now, it seems I can't do it.

Miyazaki Yu sneered, "It seems your real targets are Tsuji Hiroki, Koyama Kuriki Nana, and Nishina Minoru. The rest are just there to make up the numbers. But you don't care at all whether you actually kill them or not, right?"

"Hahaha," Ze Mugong laughed maniacally.

"That's right, that Tsuji Hiroki insulted my profession of wine tasting, Koyama Kurina hit me with her car and injured me, causing me to lose my sense of taste and my ability as a wine taster, and that bastard Asahi Katsuyoshi put too much pressure on me. It was because of the pressure and the impact that I lost my sense of taste. Add to that that idiot Nishina Minoru, all of these people are going to die!"

Miyazaki Yu sneered, "Alright, that's enough. I have no interest in your affairs. You only have two choices now: either surrender obediently, or you're already at your wit's end."

Chapter 376 The Spirit Cat's Deadly Strike (Third Update!!)

"Dead end? Hahaha, I have hostages in my hands now, do you dare come any closer? I'm not afraid of you cops at all. You people are bound by rules, but I don't care about any of that!"

He pressed the knife tip firmly against Xu Shengyi's neck, his eyes bloodshot.

This was certainly not the outcome he wanted. What he wanted was to kill all his enemies, escape unscathed, and finally return to his hometown to start anew in peace.

Once the pressure is gone, maybe my sense of taste will recover on its own.

But now, everything has been destroyed by Miyazaki Yu. His eyes are fixed on the other person, but even so, with the other person's figure reflected in his eyes, endless fear still surges throughout his body.

"What's wrong with this person? Is a swordsman really that terrifying? Just looking at him, I can feel immense terror, like a herbivore facing a lion or tiger. I feel like my whole body is going to go weak. Is this the legendary killing intent?"

Legend has it that only the most ruthless and savage warriors develop a murderous aura from killing so many. It's said that even ghosts and gods tremble at this aura, and others fighting against such figures often fail to unleash their full potential!

Miyazaki Yu looked at him with a smile, but his aura was intentionally or unintentionally gathering towards him.

Condensing energy like a blade, condensing momentum like a slash!

In essence, aura is a kind of imposing presence, a combination of confidence, strength, and aura. Just like tigers, the tigers raised in zoos are useless, having lost their wildness and ferocity.

Wild tigers, on the other hand, can inspire fear at first glance. This is because these wild tigers have developed extraordinary fighting power and aggression due to long-term hunting and combat. The difference is obvious at a glance.

"Miyazaki Yu, get out of here! Leave this room, or I'll kill him!"

Miyazaki Yu sneered: "This person in your hand has no relation to me, so why should I care about his life? It would be better if you killed him, then I would have a reason to kill you directly."

As he spoke, he took out a small knife from his pocket and gently played with it in his palm.

"We are only about ten meters apart. At this distance, killing you is no different from killing a chicken. I can use this knife to pierce your forehead the moment you stab, and pry open your entire skull. I guarantee that you will see your brains spilling onto the ground while you are still alive."

Such an experience is extremely rare in human history. For someone who enjoys pursuing perfection and goes on a killing spree over the slightest taste, this kind of death must be unique, and you'd probably love it, right?

Listen to this, it's not even human language. What does it mean to say you like it?

Who likes to die?! They're demons!

Inspector Megure was alarmed. As a police officer, he could not bear to watch people die before his eyes; such a situation was absolutely unacceptable.

"Miyazaki, please stop talking. Leave this to me. Why don't you leave now?"

Miyazaki Yu smiled calmly; this person was already on his kill list.

The other party is now in a desperate situation and poses no threat to him, so he doesn't mind waiting a while.

It's like a cat catching a mouse but not rushing to eat it. Instead, it lets go and then catches it again, playing with it a few times. This teasing and letting go is where the real fun lies.
