Chapter 292 Surrender
When the three figures, one large and two small, appeared at an abandoned construction site, Conan's level of vigilance reached its peak.
Although he didn't realize there were other people nearby besides them, meaning that Miyoshi Mako didn't have anyone else as helpers, Tsukumo was not like his audacious classmates and could be considered a "pretty face".
Under the tutelage of Akutagawa Hiko, he fully grasped the true meaning of clearing the game without taking damage amidst the rain of shadow clone shuriken, poison senbon, thunderbolts, and pepper spray.
This "no injury" status not only applies to him, but also to his teammates.
If there's a bomb, then he won't care about being exposed; he'll take responsibility.
"Little brother, there's no need to be so nervous."
Carrying the exhausted Fumino Tsukumo, who was asleep on her shoulder, Miyoshi Asako smiled and reached out to rub Conan's head.
"That detective is certainly capable, but I'm very curious as to why he would send you to spy on me."
After failing to elicit any more information, Conan realized he had been exposed. He stopped pretending and decided against taking action, opting instead to try the "talk-no-jutsu" technique that Akutagawa Hikaru had dubbed.
"Perhaps Brother Ayan thinks that you, Sister, are not a bad person who would harm innocent children."
Miyoshi Asako curled her lips, making no comment on Conan's words, and recalled the scene when she lured Tsukumo Motoyasu to the basement using a new magic trick to make him eat the capsule.
When she told Tsukumo Motoyasu the truth with a smug look on her face, she never expected that the narrow-minded man who had ruthlessly murdered her genius brother in order to protect his own position would still act like a superior teacher who had expected it all and knew everything.
It wasn't until she mentioned Tsukumo Fumino, the little girl who, because of her revenge, had fallen to a similar state as she had been back then.
At that time, Kujuku Motoyasu became flustered and humble.
However, Miyoshi Asako felt no sense of satisfaction from revenge; instead, she felt a dull ache in her heart, unable to articulate her feelings.
She endured and bided her time for fourteen years before finally deciding to kill this man before Tsukumo Fumino's seventh birthday, thus avenging her brother.
However, in the end, they had to use the life of an innocent little girl to threaten and break the last shred of dignity of the man she had called "teacher" for fourteen years.
Because she had experienced the feeling of having a loved one murdered by someone else fourteen years ago, she was able to empathize with this little girl who had lost her father.
She could not give up revenge, but she was still hesitant about whether to let the flames of revenge spread to other innocent people.
"Detective Akutagawa made a brilliant move, but if I really am the murderer, then he's really not taking your safety seriously enough."
Just then, Miyoshi Asako's phone rang. The caller was Tsukumo Nanami, who had learned from Akutagawa Hiko that Miyoshi Asako might harm her beloved daughter.
"Ah, it's the child's mother calling."
Seeing that Miyoshi Asako had no intention of making a move, Conan naturally wouldn't take the initiative and asked with some curiosity, "Aren't you going to answer the phone?"
Logically speaking, not answering the phone at this time would undoubtedly increase suspicion against her, but Miyoshi Asako hung up the phone directly.
"It's not good to disturb Fumino's sleep. Let's go back and see if the two great detectives have found the real cause of the teacher's death."
As she walked out of the abandoned construction site, Miyoshi Asako took one last look at the burial place she had originally chosen for the little girl, the place where she was planned to die painlessly and without knowing anything.
I've made up my mind.
Once her tricks are exposed, as a proud magician, she will give up future stage performances and turn herself in to the Metropolitan Police Department.
"What do we do—what do we do? Ma Zi isn't answering the phone!"
Kujuku Shichie is now completely disoriented. She was already devastated by the death of her husband, and now her daughter is in danger. Her mind is completely blank.
"Conan might be in danger too!"
Upon learning that Miyoshi Asako was planning to harm Fumino, Ran immediately thought of Conan, who had gone out with them. Knowing that Conan possessed Dr. Agasa's inventions for self-defense was one thing, but worrying about him was another.
The commotion here naturally caught the attention of Sanada Ichizo and Momochi Hiroshi.
-
They learned the whole story from Akutagawa Hiko.
It turns out that in the musical score, DC means to return to the starting point and play it again. This probably refers to Miyoshi Asako killing someone again, and the target is naturally Tsukumo Fumino, who just went out with her.
Sanada Ichisuke was shocked. He finally understood why his teacher, who was prepared to die, still managed to create so many clues.
He didn't want anyone to know who the murderer was; he wanted someone to stop Miyoshi Asako from harming innocent people and save his only daughter, Tsukumo Fumino.
If Miho Mako really succeeds, he, who knows everything but hides like a coward, will be held accountable.
Even if others don't pursue the matter, he himself can't bear the pangs of conscience.
Fortunately, what everyone feared did not happen, and neither Fumino nor Conan were harmed in any way.
"So what are your plans now, Miss Asako? According to the information I just received from Mr. Sanada, Mr. Motoyasu intends to let you complete your revenge by paying with your life. With Mr. Sanada's intervention, there is no sufficient evidence to send you to jail."
Before the two sides met, Akutagawa Hiko used the new location function added to the badge to intercept the three people in advance and explained the cause and effect in detail.
Because of the cooperation between master and apprentice Tsukumo Motoyasu and Sanada Ichizo, it was impossible to convict Miyoshi Asako; the death message on the phone was definitely not enough to send Miyoshi Asako to prison.
-
The arrogant woman held her head high, a bitter smile spreading across her lips: "This guy is dead now, but he's left me with a huge problem—"
"But don't worry, now that my tricks have been seen through and I've lost the right to perform as a magician, I'll turn myself in. You're a famous detective who values your reputation."
Akutagawa Hiko shrugged, took the shopping bags from the sleeping Tsukumo Fumino and Miyoshi Asako, and after a moment's thought, said, "You don't need to worry about not being able to beat Mr. Motoyasu in the end. You still have a long time ahead of you."
Miyoshi Asako turned herself in, and given the special nature of this case, she is unlikely to be sentenced to a long term.
Although the timeline of this world is strange, the natives cannot perceive it, so Miyoshi Asako still has plenty of time to hone her magic skills.
Miyoshi Asako's smile became much more genuine: "Thank you for your comfort, Mr. Detective."
