Conan walked around as he spoke, saying, "These methods are all just to deepen everyone's impression, to make them think that Mr. Sakoya has really become a vampire, and then he commits crimes, including murdering Ms. Mamoru and Mr. Ashin."

"In the restaurant, Hanekawa had actually used a fishing line to thread through the drainpipe outside the smoking room window, with both ends hanging outside the restaurant window. One end was tied to Mr. Sakuya's head, and the other end was hung on the restaurant window frame. As soon as the window was opened, the fishing line would come loose, and the head would fall down."

"Wait a minute," the woman with glasses questioned, "Big Brother clearly disappeared upwards back then, and then a monster flew into the sky."

Chapter 552 What is the truth?

"The monster was just a remote-controlled toy in disguise. In reality, the glass on the upper right of that window was a convex lens. If you looked through that lens from the right position, you would see an upside-down object, so it was actually falling down. Although the glass below was normal, it was blocked at the time."

"Yes, the only flaw in this method is that it requires the user's cooperation. So, Yu Chuan, who opened the curtains and the window, was undoubtedly the culprit. Moreover, the head fell into the flowerpot that had been placed there beforehand, and Yu Chuan had to move that flowerpot to the middle of the innermost potted plants when no one was paying attention."

Conan closed his eyes briefly and said.

"Mr. Pomi's head is still there."

“Master…” The maid, Hibari Hikaru, turned pale upon hearing this.

"Then what about Mamoru and her sister? If the murderer is Hanekawa, they shouldn't be able to come back, right?" Torakura Kishiji also felt a lump in his throat and continued to ask, "Is there a tunnel out of here?"

"Of course, we don't have a tunnel that big of a project, but even if the person himself doesn't go out, we can still get Ms. Shouyu's body out."

"How can this be?"

"These were all methods that Mr. Pokami had planned in advance,"

Conan slowly analyzed, "Mr. Sakoya bought the refrigerator and the inflatable children's pool for this. The wheels were made of ice. After Hanekawa strangled Mamoru and the lady, he tied them to the wooden stakes and then attached ice wheels to both ends of the stakes like barbells."

"When the tunnel explosion attracted the guards' attention, Hanekawa pushed the wooden stake down the front stairs of the gate. Then, after the ice melted, the alarm clock that had been set for Mamoru went off to attract the guards' attention and let them discover the body. As for the method of making the ice wheel?"

"It was probably used to place a seaweed container in the middle of a children's swimming pool, then separate the ice water with paper, and freeze it into two wheels. There are still salt residues in the soil over there, added to speed up the melting of the ice."

The members of the Torakura family all looked at Hanekawa Johei, who had tacitly agreed.

"But why did Yuukawa do that?"

"It must be related to the murder of Miss Hikari's mother. Mr. Sakoya discovered that his fiancée's death was related to that maid, Miss Shimizu."

"Just like the legend here, the brothers and sisters removed obstacles for the inheritance. This should have been Mr. Sakoya's revenge, but Hanekawa used it instead. The evidence is in Mr. Hanekawa's pocket."

In front of everyone, Conan searched Hanekawa and found a piece of paper on her person.

"It is this murder plan that Mr. Sakoya devised for Miss Hikari. The plan states that after calling Hanekawa to the Nanban room and killing her, the door should be locked and the escape route formed into a secret room."

However, Hanekawa turned the tables on her, using Mr. Sakuya's phone to call Ms. Hikari over.

He probably wanted to fake being attacked by her, and then accidentally kill her in self-defense, which is why he carried this plan with him.

As for the motive, besides framing Miss Hikari entirely, it's probably also because the beginning of this plan states that Miss Hikari is actually Mr. Sakoya's biological daughter.

The Torakura family members are still in turmoil, especially the bespectacled woman who has been trying to reconcile with Hanekawa Johei.

"But why was Shouyu killed as well?"

"It's to get back together with you, of course, it's also just for the Torakura family's inheritance, and incidentally, I can also get Mamoru's inheritance."

Conan was in a very good mood after analyzing the case.

He turned to look at Chi Chufeng.

Chi Chufeng smiled slightly and said, "Everyone must be very curious about my identity. Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Chi Chufeng."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

"You...you are the strongest Onmyoji in Tokyo, Lord Akaso? Why did the master invite you here?" The old butler asked in surprise, his eyes wide.

Chi Chufeng smiled slightly.

"Don't forget, my nickname is Crime Buster."

"Back then, someone plotted to kill Hibari Hikaru's mother. I was entrusted by Torakura Sakoya to handle this matter."

Chi Chufeng cast a spatial eye on everyone in Yin Cang's family.

Everyone immediately showed expressions of panic.

All that could be seen was the spirit of Torakura Sakumi, who was holding a leather whip and lashing it again and again at the two spirits that had just died.

"No, brother, don't do this! We admit our mistake, we're turning ourselves in!"

The surviving people of Yincang were so frightened that they knelt down.

Chi Chufeng's formidable reputation and everything they witnessed made them lose the will to resist.

Akatsukaze pulled out a document and said, "This is Torakura Sakoya's will. Hibari Hikari is Torakura Sakoya's biological daughter. All the property here, except for the commission paid to me, belongs to Hibari Hikari..."

The road was reopened the next day, and the police arrived and took away Hanekawa Johei and those involved in the murder of Hibari Hikaru's mother.

Watching the police cars speed away, Conan suddenly asked, "Brother Akaso, did Hanekawa Johei really see Hikari's phone by chance? Given Hikari's personality, even if she knew her mother was murdered, she probably wouldn't have killed her."

Chapter 553 Do you want to be my woman?

Chi Chufeng smiled slightly.

He knew he couldn't hide it from this clever kid.

So he nodded and said, "That's right, this was all planned in advance by Torakura Sakoya. He knew that Hikaru Hinohara had the habit of charging his phone by the sink, so he sent the text message specifically when Hayao Hayao was washing his hands."

"In fact, he wanted to use Hanekawa Johei to complete his own plan."

Conan pouted and said, "So, Akatsuki-nii, you brought me here just to be a tool for solving cases? Are you too lazy to even bother with these deductions anymore?"

Chi Chufeng laughed and said, "What, you're not willing?"

Conan thought for a moment and nodded repeatedly: "I'm willing, Brother Akaso. Remember to call me if something like this happens again."

Chi Chufeng smiled slightly and returned to the villa.

He led Hikaru Hibari into a large house.

“This is where your mother used to live. Mr. Pomi let you live here. Also, this is a letter he left for you. It's sealed with wax, and no one has seen it.”

Hikaru Hinohara opened the letter and slowly began to read it.

After a while, her little face slowly turned red.

She put down the letter and looked at Chi Chufeng apologetically.

"Lord Chichu, may I ask you for a favor?"

"what?"

Hikaru Hikaru slowly walked over and leaned against Akatsuka Kaze's chest.

"Master, no, Father said that I should become your woman so that he can protect me from being bullied..."

Chi Chufeng's lips curled slightly.

For a magician, is it necessary to open a letter before reading it?

He embraced the delicate girl.

"If it weren't for your father's demands, would you want to become my woman?"

The girl looked up at Chi Chufeng's handsome face, blushed, and nodded.

Chi Chufeng didn't say anything more, picked up the girl in a princess carry, and placed her on the bed.

Hikaru said shyly, "Lord Akatsuki, it's still daytime."

Chi Chufeng laughed and said, "Isn't daytime better? It's so bright, we can see much more clearly..."

Hikaru Hikaru shyly covered his head with the blanket, but left his body exposed.

Chi Chufeng smiled slightly and began to complete the final step of the commission.

A few days later, Aka Chufeng arrived in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture.

A place where the mountains are covered in red leaves.

I stayed at the Akashu Hotel in front of the station at the foot of the mountain.

He came here because he received a text message from Sonoko.

"Under the red leaves of winter on Christmas Eve this year..."

The email was shrouded in mystery; there are no red leaves in winter.

Akatsukaze used a predictive magic, and Sonoko somehow ended up alone in the Momiji Forest of Gunma Prefecture.

It became a popular tourist destination because of a TV series called "Winter Autumn Leaves".

Upon seeing the name of the TV series, Chi Chufeng immediately remembered it.

This seems to be a case.

Moreover, it was a very dangerous case.

Someone needs to come to the rescue.

Of course, Chi Chufeng couldn't let Sonoko be in danger, so he rushed over ahead of time.

The hotel receptionist enthusiastically recommended:

"The 'Winter Autumn Leaves' was a very popular romantic drama last year. It tells the story of a capitalist's daughter and a young military officer in the early Showa era, which was overshadowed by war. Recently, it has started to be rebroadcast in Gunma Prefecture!"
