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

In the basement, in front of a table with a telephone.

Uncle Mori stared at the keypad on the phone, comparing the displayed numbers, and muttered, "So, the coded message left by Mr. Tsukumo Motoyasu is 'D', 'C'... pockmarked face?"

"The murderer is Miss Ma Zi?!"

"The culprit really is Ma Zi?" Sanada Ichizo muttered to himself.

Kogoro Mouri frowned and pondered, "That's right, judging from the current situation, this possibility is extremely high."

“Miss Ma is Mr. Motoyasu’s apprentice. Suppose she tricks Mr. Motoyasu into going to the basement under the pretext of asking him about magic tricks, and then tricks him into putting his hand behind his back, tying the ring with piano wire, and then feeding him poison. That would complete the trick.”

"Then, all she had to do was cut and retrieve the piano wires when she discovered the body, and that would be enough to cover it up perfectly. As for her motive... I haven't thought of it yet."

Conan suddenly looked up at the photo of Kinoshita Yoshiro hanging on the wall.

Although it's just speculation now, his intuition tells him that the motive is definitely related to Kinoshita Yoshiro, who is hanging on the wall!

Conan suddenly remembered something and asked:

"It's almost certain that the murderer is Ms. Mako. But what does 'DC' mean? Perhaps there's another layer of meaning behind Mr. Motoyasu's death message?"

"Could it be that Mr. Motoyasu pressed the wrong button?" Uncle Mori loved to talk nonsense.

Conan rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain, "That shouldn't be possible, right? If he made a mistake, wouldn't it be better to just press the delete key and retype it? Besides, if he made a mistake, how could it possibly be exactly the letters 'DC'?"

"Uh~" Uncle Mori was speechless.

"This DC will also appear on the sheet music," Xiaolan said from the side.

"Sheet music? DC?" Conan and Kogoro Mouri were both stunned for a moment.

Xiaolan then said, "If this 'DC' appears on the sheet music, it means 'one more time'..."

"What? One more time! Could it be... that Miyoshi Asako will continue killing?"

Conan and Kogoro Mouri both wore serious expressions.

"By the way, did Asako-neechan just go out with Fumino?" Conan asked.

“That’s right.” Sanada Ichizo nodded quickly. “Ms. Asako went out to buy groceries with Fumino.”

Chapter 240 Conan suffered a dimensional reduction attack.

Kogoro Mouri frowned.

“If Miss Miyoshi Asako harbors deep hatred for Mr. Motoyasu, she might target his family members, especially Fumino, who symbolizes the continuation of Mr. Motoyasu’s bloodline.”

"In other words, Ms. Asako is very likely to make a move against Fumino!"

"You mean, murdered Fumino?!" Sanada Ichizo exclaimed excitedly. "How could Asako possibly do such a thing?!"

"Right now, it's just a possibility! However, just in case, we must find Ms. Asako and Fumino as soon as possible. If Fumino is alright, that would be the best."

Kogoro Mouri asked, "When Ms. Asako goes out to buy groceries, where does she usually go?"

“It’s in the supermarket nearby,” Sanada Ichizo replied immediately, then strode towards the door.

"Hyakuchi should still be preparing dinner. Let's go and call him and ask him to help us look for it. Oh, and my teacher's wife has also returned with guests. We can ask them for help too."

"A guest?" Conan, Uncle Mori, and Ran were all taken aback.

“That’s right, we have guests. My master’s wife is convinced that my master was killed by an evil spirit, so she invited an Onmyoji (yin-yang master).” Sanada Ichizo explained.

"An Onmyoji?!"

The image of a certain person immediately flashed into Conan's mind, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Seriously, it can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?

Is our famous Detective Conan about to suffer another devastating blow?

Ninety-nine households, inside the living room.

Miyoshi Asako and Momochi Hironobu stood in the entrance hall.

Momochi Yushin bowed to Akatsuka Kaze and said, "I'll leave Madam and Fumino in your care, Lord Akatsuka. I'll go to the police station with Asagi."

"Sister with pockmarks~"

In Chi Chufeng's arms, Wen Nai's voice was mournful.

Sanhao Mazi pretended not to hear.

She absolutely cannot stay in this family anymore; she might as well leave now.

She turned to leave when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the corridor.

Everyone turned to look.

Then you see Conan, Kogoro Mouri, and Ichizo Sanada running out together.

Upon seeing everyone, Sanada Ichizo immediately said, "Master's wife, Mr. Mori and the others have just deduced the culprit. The culprit is Ms. Asako, and she even wanted to kill Fumino... Huh?"

Before Sanada Ichizo could finish speaking, he saw Miyoshi Asako and Fumino standing in the crowd and was immediately dumbfounded.

Why are these two at home all this time?

Of course, Conan and Kogoro Mouri were equally bewildered.

Conan, in particular, almost rolled the whites of his eyes out.

Sure enough, he saw that guy again.

What a coincidence! This Onmyoji really is Aka Chufeng!

Conan was internally ranting when Shichibuki said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Mori. However, we already know that Asako is the murderer."

"As soon as Lord Chichu arrived here, he stopped Ma Zi and said that Ma Zi was the murderer, and Ma Zi also admitted it."

"Ah?"

Both Conan and Kogoro Mouri felt a lump in their throat.

They must have had a really hard time deducing things in the basement just now, right?!

Give us a chance to explain our reasoning!

"So what are you doing now?"

Looking at the crowd gathered in front of the entrance, Sanada Ichizo asked.

Miyoshi Asako then spoke up, "I'm going to the police station to turn myself in, and Momochi will come with me."

0 0

Seeing her calm expression, Sanada Ichizo hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I'll go with you too."

Conan looked at Akatsuki Kaze with a dejected expression.

What a bastard.

The joy of solving the case through deduction was once again taken away.

With a cheat code like Chi Chufeng around, what's the point of him working so hard on deductions in the basement?

What a complete waste of a night!

Several disciples went to the police station, and the Mori family left soon after.

The huge mansion suddenly felt deserted with only Chi Chufeng and his mother and daughter remaining.

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

On the sofa, Akatsuka Kaze was holding Tsukumo Fumino.

Because he is often bothered by Ayumi, he is very experienced in dealing with little girls.

Fumino temporarily forgot her sadness and smiled happily in his arms.

The door opened, and Shichie Tsukumo came out dressed in gorgeous clothes.

She appeared to have worn special makeup.

Women really do need to dress up. This makeup is much more elegant than before, and it also adds a touch of maturity.

Seeing her daughter's smile, Kujuku Shichie also smiled. She bowed slightly and said, "Lord Akatsuki, please wait a moment. We don't have enough ingredients at home, so I'll go out and buy some."

"No need, it's just the three of us, something simple will do."

Kujuku Shichie blushed slightly.

Actually, she hadn't cooked for many years and had long forgotten how to cook.

I went out intending to buy some ready-made items to bring back.

Chi Chufeng knew what was going on just by looking at her.

He smiled and placed Wen Nai in her mother's arms.

"Please sit in the dining room for a while, it will be ready soon."

Chapter 241 The Road to a Woman's Heart

Chi Chufeng entered the kitchen and closed the door.
