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

"Actually, I should have thought of it when I met Mr. Kuanren during the day."

Akatsuka looked at Akashi Hiroto, who was sitting upright, and said, "Mr. Hiroto, you didn't go to the tennis court entirely because you missed your deceased wife, but you originally planned to invite people to your home, right?"

"I wanted to ask a student..."

"To be precise, it was to ask someone to help me create an alibi."

Chi Chufeng affirmed, "The student they were originally looking for wasn't at the tennis court because of the rain, so they wanted to ask me to come over. After I refused, they unexpectedly saw Conan fall into the water. The evidence is the unusually large amount of curry rice. There are only two people in the family, how could they have made enough rice for seven or eight people in advance?"

“I usually make a larger portion of curry,” Hiroto Akashi said with a stiff smile.

"Because I often treat students I'm close to to meals, it's just that it's raining today and no one came to the tennis court."

"Is that so?" Akashi Kaze stared at Akashi Hiroto and said, "I was just about to ask you, you said Mr. Yan Fu saw a dentist a few days ago, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"You can't eat spicy food after a tooth extraction. How could you, a former athlete's health coach, prepare spicy curry for your father?"

"That's right, but I didn't know Dad had his teeth pulled,"

Akashi Hiroto, sweating profusely, said, "Besides, the spicy curry was my dad's own request. Do you suspect I killed him? How could I..."

"The police just found a tooth in that leftover curry."

Akatsuka continued to look directly at Akashi Hiroto and said, "Furthermore, we have also examined Mr. Yanfu's mouth. If it was extracted a few days ago, the wound at the root of the tooth should have shrunk to a certain extent, and the blood at the wound should have coagulated."

"But that's not the case. Even the teeth next to it were loose and crooked. In other words, Mr. Yan lost his teeth after eating curry. To be precise, he bit down on the rope with all his might, which caused his teeth to fall out."

"A rope?" Yamamura Misao asked in surprise.

"That's right. Mr. Yan Fu was actually hanging from the beam by biting the rope with his mouth. When he ran out of strength and could no longer hold the rope, he was officially strangled to death. At that time, his teeth fell out and into the curry."

Chi Chufeng nodded and said, "What Xiao Lan heard was not his crying, but a cry for help. He just couldn't make a sound because he was biting the rope."

Xiaolan's face turned pale: "How could this happen?"

“But,” Yamamura said, taking out his notebook, “there was no trace of rope in Mr. Yanfu’s mouth!”

"It's because of the handkerchief. The murderer wrapped the rope with a handkerchief before letting Mr. Yan bite it."

“Hmph,” Uncle Mori frowned, “In that case, why doesn’t he just grab the rope with both hands and call for help with his mouth? Besides, the lights were off when Ran went there the second time, and no one went to the bedroom during that time.”

"Mr. Yan Fu, don't you have faint binding marks on your wrists? What if those weren't rubber bands, but rather the pull cord of a chandelier?"

Chi Chufeng walked to the chandelier in the living room.

"Tie Mr. Yan Fu's wrists with the chandelier cord, tie a slipknot, and then connect the cord to the chandelier in the second-floor bedroom. This way, when Mr. Yan Fu lands with all his might, the cord will turn off the chandelier at the same time, and the slipknot will be pulled open."

“If you want evidence, I have it,” Chi Chufeng said, holding up the book “Introduction to Fishing” in his hand.

“I’ve already looked at it. Almost all the chandelier cords in this house are tied with fishing line knots. Mr. Kuanren’s wife must have bought this book to learn this knotting method, because knots on cords tied using the ordinary method are very easy to come loose.”

"However, there was one bedroom where the knot wasn't a fishing line knot, but a simple dead knot. Yes, that was Mr. Yan's bedroom where the light cord was a bit short."

Akatsuka looked at the silent Akashi Hiroto: "I'm afraid it's because they couldn't untie the fishing line knot, so they cut it with scissors. After all, if they didn't cut it, they couldn't use it to tie Mr. Yanfu's hands. As for the knot that was tied when they put it back together, it's probably because the person who tied it didn't know how to tie a fishing line knot, right?"

Uncle Mori froze, staring intently at the silent Hiroto Akashi: "Is that really so, Mr. Akashi? So that's why you sent Ran to clear the table, and even said you'd be back as soon as the lights were on?!"

Akatsukaze placed "Introduction to Fishing" in front of Akashi Hiroto: "What were you going to do if we hadn't arrived just in time?"

Chapter 588 Ran and Sonoko in miniskirts

Akashi Hiroto stared blankly at the book in front of him, his fingers trembling as he touched the cover.

“Even if you hadn’t come, I was planning to end my father’s life today, because today is the anniversary of my wife’s death. Three years ago today, my wife fell in this forest and died in a flash flood.”

"It was a rainy day when I was driving to Tokyo for work. My dad suddenly woke me up from my rest stop because I had a cold and said I wanted to eat matsutake mushroom rice."

“She could have just refused, but my wife insisted on going to the supermarket three kilometers away. On the way back, she collapsed on the road.”

Hiroto Akashi picked up "Introduction to Fishing" with a sob in his voice.

"The day after my wife's funeral, I overheard my father talking to himself in front of the Buddhist altar: 'Honey, that one finally broke. Next time I want a toy that will last a long time, as sturdy as a wide person.'"

“Before this, I always trusted him. Even when he made so many unreasonable demands on me, he treated me like his own son.”

Yamamura Misao asked in surprise, "You're not his biological son?"

847

"Yes, I am an adopted son."

Akashi Hiroto looked up at the chandelier.

“Building a house in such a remote mountain, for the three of us—my wife, my husband, and I—was his request, because he wanted to live a life far removed from the world.”

"Even the chandelier switch cord was something else. Suddenly they extended the cord of the floor light in their own room and then said that the other rooms should do the same."

"Actually, the light cord in that bedroom was originally stretched out by my father using a messy knotting method. If it had been tied by my wife, I... I probably wouldn't have been able to cut it, and maybe I wouldn't have killed him."

"maybe."

Akatsuka glanced silently at the dazed Akashi Hiroto, then turned to the old man's corpse being carried down from upstairs.

It is yet another human tragedy.

After daybreak, the heavy rain finally stopped. After Hiroto Akashi was taken away by the police, Kogoro Mouri and Conan also left the old house in the mountains in a mountain cart.

"That's wonderful," Yamamura Misao said thankfully. "At least I didn't bring the camera for nothing. It's fantastic to have captured Lord Akaso's reasoning. I'll keep it as a family heirloom..."

"Hmph," Uncle Mori said with a sour face, sitting in the passenger seat, "What an annoying case."

"By the way, where did Brother Chichu take Sister Xiaolan and the others?"

Conan's voice is much better now, and he can speak again, although it's still a little hoarse.

"They said they were going to play tennis, but with this heavy rain, how could they possibly play tennis?" Kogoro Mouri said dismissively.

Surprisingly, the tennis court was very dry.

A massive fog blanketed the sky, obscuring the entire stadium and sucking away all the rainwater.

Even the ground was baked dry by the fire element Asai Shigemi.

Ran and Sonoko, dressed in miniskirts, ran back and forth on the field.

Every time she ran, her panties would be exposed.

Every swing of the racket brings a tremor.

Chi Chufeng sat beside him with a big smile on his face.

The young and beautiful girl playing tennis is so gorgeous.

Especially after playing tennis, when you're covered in sweat, you need to soak in a hot spring.

Chi Chufeng waited silently.

Time in the Conan world is both fast and slow. It's fast because the days pass quickly, but slow because no matter how fast the days go, they never exceed one year.

However, after being here for so long, Chi Chufeng has almost gotten used to it. This world has its own set of rules for operating, which is both absurd and realistic.

In general, it's a realistic mystery anime world with almost no supernatural powers, but it does have many surreal abilities.

Criminals and detectives with astonishing intelligence, fantastical and unbelievable magic, and extraordinary superhuman skills…

Of course, Chi Chufeng is also considered a member of the supernatural ability group, and is almost the most powerful one.

Ultimately, it's still a detective world, where cases are the main focus, and Chi Chufeng inevitably gets involved in all sorts of cases.

"Dong dong!"

A middle-aged man in a suit wearing sunglasses and with thick, medium-length hair suddenly appeared at the door. He looked at Chi Chufeng and gently knocked on the door, saying, "Excuse me, are you Lord Chi Chufeng?"

Chi Chufeng nodded. "Yes, that's me."

The middle-aged man bowed slightly and walked into the office with great courtesy: "Lord Akaso, hello, I am Mr. Iseikawa Gozo's secretary, Shiki."

"Oh, please have a seat."

Chi Chufeng accepted the business card handed to him by the middle-aged man.

He had heard of Gozo Iseya before, since he often came into contact with some elites from high society.

I heard he's a stock investor who amassed a huge fortune through buying and selling stocks, and he also seems to have a lot of connections in the underworld.

"Mr. Iseikawa, is there anything you would like to entrust to me?" Akatsuka asked, putting down his business card.

"Actually, the master passed away in the winter due to serious illness. It was I who wanted to trouble you."

The middle-aged man seemed to have no intention of taking off his sunglasses. He took out a document from his briefcase and said, "I would like to ask you to find the master's great-granddaughter, Ms. Matsunaka Yuriko, who has been missing for many years."

Thank you Starlight399 for the monthly pass.

Chapter 589 Cute Little Loli

Chi Chufeng took the information and looked at it: "May I know what your purpose is in looking for the great-granddaughter of Iseikawa Tsuyoshi?"

“Well,” the middle-aged man looked at Chi Chufeng through his sunglasses, “you will know when you find Miss. This was also the master’s last wish.”

"is it?"

Chi Chufeng silently began reviewing the information.
