"Actually, I'm not jealous or anything. I only helped write that one story, and she won the award because of her own ability. As her friend, I'm very proud of her. I think I can work hard too."

"However, the publisher said that my style is too similar to hers, so I can only do ghostwriting."

“I never noticed that she has been imitating my style ever since she started writing. It’s outrageous. At least she should have publicly stated that she had my help with her debut work. Instead, she said that I was trying to slander her and completely ignored me.”

Tangji Shishin looked at Ze Lixun with reddened eyes and choked up.

“I’ve talked to your sister many times. If things continue like this, I’ll only become a ghostwriter with no place to stand. So I’m thinking of turning her into a ghost.”

"Back then, we were good friends who would stay up all night together exchanging ideas and writing books together! How did things turn out like this?"

Ze Lixun looked at Yuji Shixin, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but he still revealed a fierce expression and was about to pull the trigger.

Anxious, Sera Masumi took two steps forward, preparing to forcefully intervene.

At that moment, Xiaolan suddenly stood in front of Tangdi Zhixin.

"No, you can't do this!"

Ran Mouri's face showed a determined expression.

"Yuji Shinobu committed a crime and should be handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department. You still have your own life to live. What kind of life is it to die like this?"

“It’s too late.” Ze Lixun’s hands trembled. “Get away from me. Let me kill her and then kill myself. My sister is dead. There’s no point in me living.”

"Although your sister is dead, her spirit remains."

A faint voice suddenly came from behind, "If you die too, no one will care about her anymore, and she will soon be scattered to the winds."

"What? My sister's spirit?"

Ze Lixun turned his head, his lips trembling, his expression a mixture of disbelief and anticipation.

Chi Chufeng waved his hand.

In Sawakuri Isao's eyes, a small figure appeared above Yuji Shinobu's head.

Unlike the dark, shadowy soul of the past, this little person, apart from being smaller, looked exactly like Ze Liwei.

"Sister? No, you're lying to me, this must be fake."

The little man stood up and made a few gestures towards Ze Lixun.

Sawakuri Isao immediately burst into tears.

"Sister, it really is you! How could you die like this, leaving me all alone..."

Looking at Ze Lixun's appearance, Chi Chufeng had some doubts.

Is this guy a siscon, or is there some other hidden reason?

"The soul cannot linger in the outside world for long, otherwise it will eventually be scattered."

As he spoke, Chi Chufeng reached out and tossed Ze Liwei into his spatial storage.

To be honest, the soul that was on the 14th of last month should have already dissipated.

However, because yesterday was the 14th of last month, the strange timeline saved this poor soul.

Ze Liwei looked around blankly.

Beneath me, the grass was lush and green, and behind me stood a huge cherry blossom tree.

The white cherry blossoms fell in the wind, creating a beautiful scene.

"Where...where is this place?"

Seeing this, Sawakuri Isao was stunned...

"I am an Onmyoji, and this is the Yin-Yang realm I created, specifically for those souls who still have relatives to offer sacrifices to."

"Of course, staying here comes at a high price, so if you, my only brother, die, I will have no choice but to abandon her and let her vanish into nothingness."

"No, I beg you, please don't."

Sawakuri immediately dropped his gun.

"I'll do anything to preserve my sister's soul!"

Chi Chufeng's lips curled up slightly.

"Then go and turn yourself in to the police. Your gun is unloaded, the bomb on your person is fake, and it didn't cause any harm. You shouldn't get many years in prison. When you get out, you can work for me."

"No bullets? The bomb is fake?"

Not only was Sera Masumi taken aback, but even Sawakuri Isao's mouth dropped open.

Sera Masumi picked up the pistol, removed the magazine, and found that it was indeed empty of bullets.

Ze Lixun untied the cloth straps binding his body; they were flat inside, and the bombs that had been stuck in them were all gone.

Ze Lixun suddenly understood.

He bowed deeply to Chi Chufeng.

"Onmyoji, you're the only one left. My life is now yours."

Chi Chufeng smiled but remained silent.

Just then, police sirens sounded outside, and the police had arrived downstairs.

"How could this happen?!"

Watching Isao Sawakuri and Shinobu Yuji being taken away by the police, Sera Masumi complained unhappily to Ran Mouri:

"If we had known the bomb was fake, we could have just gone up and subdued him. There was no need for this big liar to fool us."

"Don't talk about my Akatsuchi-san like that."

Ran Mouri laughed and advised, "If he really only had a cloth bandage tied around his neck, neither of us would have been able to tell."

Chapter 432 This silly girl is so easily fooled

huh?

Sera Masumi was stunned.

Thinking about it, it seems to be true. Back then, the bombs looked bulging and had strips stuck in them, so how come they all disappeared later?

She suddenly realized something.

Perhaps Chi Chufeng used that technology to deceive them all into believing it was an illusion.

In reality, the bullets and bombs were all replaced by Chi Chufeng.

"Why are you helping him like this? Mrs. Tang has her own difficulties, you know."

Sera Masumi blinked her big eyes at Akatsuki Kaze.

Chi Chufeng looked at her, puzzled.

"What troubles does Mrs. Yudi have? She only wrote one story in that book, and it was co-written with Miku Sawakuri. It can't even be called ghostwriting."

"Furthermore, she said that Sawakuri Miku imitated her writing style. Has she never submitted any manuscripts to editors all these years?"

"You silly girl, how can you be so easily fooled?"

As he spoke, Akatsuka reached out his large hand and ruffled Sera Masumi's hair.

"Stop touching my head!"

Sera Masumi shook her little head and ran behind Ran Mouri.

She rolled her 29 eyes and asked:

"But your crime-solving skills are truly impressive. This is the real strength of a famous Japanese detective."

"I heard from my classmates that there used to be a high school detective named Shinichi Kudo. I wonder who among you is better at it?"

Chi Chufeng laughed upon hearing this.

"Shinichi Kudo? Who's that? Never heard of him."

He laughed as he walked downstairs toward his apartment next door.

Sera Masumi didn't get the answer she wanted, so she turned to ask Mouri Ran.

"Xiao Lan, who do you think is more powerful between the two of them?"

Ran Mouri shook her head and said, "Shinichi Kudo? We haven't heard from him in a long time. Maybe he's already gone abroad."

"Akachu-san is now the most powerful Onmyoji in Tokyo, and is known as the nemesis of crime. He is far superior to those famous detectives. Even my dad has to admit defeat."

Kogoro Mouri, standing next to him, was speechless.

This girl was raised for nothing.

Sera Masumi looked at the light shining in Ran Mouri's eyes and couldn't help but feel very surprised.

What's so great about that man that Ran Mouri likes him so much?

After leaving the Mori Detective Agency and returning to her room, Sera Masumi carefully reviewed Akatsuka Kaze's information.

The more I investigated, the more surprised I became; the more I investigated, the less I believed it.

These are all just legends, right?
