Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

Everyone: ? ? ?

Ai Haibara, however, connected this sentence with Russian, because Natsumi Kosaka's great-grandmother was Russian.

Ai Haibara said calmly, "The magician of the end of the century."

Seeing everyone looking at her strangely, Ai Haibara added, "If you change the punctuation, it means 'magician of the end of the century' in Russian."

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Ai Haibara and could only sigh that she was indeed a genius girl. He remembered that Ai Haibara seemed to know Japanese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.

Unlike him, he only speaks Chinese, English, and Japanese.

The other two people present who spoke Russian, Pu Siqinglan and Xiluov, immediately realized what was going on.

Sireuf exclaimed, "If you change the punctuation of 'Barushinikukadame,' it becomes Barushupnik Kanjime—the magician of the end of the century."

When Conan heard this familiar name, he immediately thought of Kaito Kid, because Kaito Kid's advance notice was signed "The Magician of the End of the Century"!

Could it be that Kid and Natsumi Kosaka's families have some connection?

Thinking of this, Conan asked, "Kosaka-neechan, has anything happened between your family and Kaito Kid?"

Natsumi Kosaka thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, I don't think so!"

Conan didn't press the matter further, but he felt there must be some connection between them, and he would only find out when they got to the castle.

Skipping over this rambling topic, Xiaolan noticed the commonalities between Kousaka Natsumi and Urashi Seiran.

"Miss Kosaka and Miss Pu Si both have gray eyes!"

Natsumi Kosaka explained, "I think it's inherited from my great-grandmother! My mother and grandmother also have gray hair!"

Pu Siqinglan simply smiled and didn't say anything more about the matter.

Kitagawa Taki's gaze shifted, seemingly curious, and he asked, "We didn't have time to chat in detail last time. Where is Miss Urasu from?"

This Pu Siqinglan is no ordinary person. She exudes a strong murderous aura and is clearly a ruthless character who has killed many people. She is far more than just a researcher on the surface.

Pu Siqinglan replied, "Chinese."

Kitagawa Taki then asked, "I know a little about China. May I ask which city Miss Pu Si is from?"

Pu Siqinglan opened her mouth, not expecting to run into someone who was an "expert on China." She wanted to just mention a city, but she was afraid of being found out.

Fortunately, Han Chuanlong, carrying a camera, arrived late, seemingly having taken a shower and changed his clothes.

Pu Siqinglan noticed a ring hanging around Han Chuanlong's neck and exclaimed, "Mr. Han Chuan, what's that on your neck?"

"As expected of an expert on the Romanov dynasty, you noticed it at a glance, didn't you?" As he spoke, Han Chuanlong took off the ring and handed it to Pu Siqinglan. "Want to take a look?"

Pu Siqinglan carefully held the ring and examined it closely, discovering that a name was engraved on the inside of the ring.

“Maria…”

"Could this be the ring of Maria, the third daughter of King Nicholas II?"

Han Chuanlong took the ring back, put it back on his chest, and said mysteriously, "If you think so, then it is."

Pu Siqinglan wanted to ask further, "Where did this ring come from?"

Han Chuanlong chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Who knows?"

Pu Siqinglan's gaze darkened, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Kitagawa Taki watched her every move, and he sensed that something might happen tonight.

He glanced at Han Chuanlong with pity, then shook his head inwardly. Being so arrogant in Detective Conan could easily lead to his death.

……

After dinner, Kitagawa Taki pulled Miyano Akemi aside and whispered in her ear, "Akemi, let's switch rooms tonight."

Miyano Akemi's room was located between Urashi Seiran and Kankawa Ryu, making it very convenient for him to keep an eye on Urashi Seiran's movements.

Although Miyano Akemi didn't know why Kitagawa Taki wanted to change rooms, she agreed without hesitation.

Late at night.

Everyone had already gone to sleep, except for a few people who had something on their minds.

Pu Siqinglan quietly opened Han Chuanlong's door; the lock only took her a few seconds to open.

By the moonlight, Pu Siqinglan saw the ring and camera that Han Chuanlong had placed on the table.

To avoid making any noise, she didn't even wear shoes.

She glanced at Han Chuanlong lying on the bed and successfully obtained the ring and the camera.

Just as she turned to leave.

Han Chuanlong exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!"

Turning around, Pu Siqinglan and Han Chuanlong looked at each other.

Without hesitation, Pu Siqinglan pulled out a pistol and quickly installed a silencer.

Han Chuanlong, who had just seen Pu Siqinglan's actions, was horrified and was about to shout for help.

piu~

After a gunshot, Han Chuanlong fell silent.

Afterwards, Pu Siqinglan calmly left Han Chuanlong's room, went to one side of the ship, and lowered a lifeboat.

As for the camera, she threw it into the sea.

After doing all this, Pu Siqinglan returned to her room.

Pu Siqinglan sat in the chair, glanced at the photo on the table, and stroked the ring in her hand, her thoughts wandering elsewhere.

A few minutes later, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

Pu Siqinglan put the ring in the drawer, placed the photo face down on the table, and then opened the door.

Upon seeing Kitagawa Taki, Urashi Seiran asked in surprise, "Mr. Kitagawa, is there anything you need so late?"

Kitagawa Taki glanced at her; Urako Seiran was still wearing the red cheongsam she wore during the day.

When Pu Siqinglan saw Kitagawa Taki's gaze lingering on her, her face immediately turned cold. She was about to close the door when she felt that the door did not budge.

Looking down, I saw that it was Kitagawa Taki's hand pressing against the door.

The next second, Kitagawa Taki walked straight into the room and locked the door behind him.

"What are you going to do, Mr. Kitagawa?!"

Pu Siqinglan looked unwell, but she didn't panic.

Most women would have screamed in this situation long ago.

But she's different. If Kitagawa Taki dares to be so audacious, she'll make sure he learns a lesson he'll never forget.

But Kitagawa Taki's opening remarks stunned her.

"Miss Pu Si, you don't want to spend your whole life in prison, do you?"

Chapter 128 A wise person knows when to yield.

"What do you mean?"

Pu Siqinglan suspected that Kitagawa Taki knew something, but on the surface she still maintained a cold and aloof demeanor.

“I know everything you just did.”

To say it was crystal clear is a bit of an exaggeration, since Kitagawa Taki only saw what happened in Hanchuan Long's room with his divine sense while in his own room, and did not go to the ship's side with Pusi Qinglan.

"I don't understand what you're saying, Mr. Kitagawa."

Pu Siqinglan did not believe Kitagawa Taki's nonsense.

Kitagawa Takimiura Shiori, stubborn as ever, slowly said, "You unlocked the door first, took Hanchuan Long's ring and camera, and then went outside..."

Pu Siqinglan was shocked. Kitagawa Taki even knew what she was doing in the room, which she couldn't understand at all!

Kitagawa Taki walked towards Urashi Seiran, pressing closer with each step.

Pu Siqinglan's expression changed, and she was about to make a move, but her wrists were grabbed by a pair of large hands.

She tried to break free but found that Kitagawa Taki was incredibly strong and she couldn't break free at all. So she delivered a knee strike to Kitagawa Taki's groin.

Kitagawa Taki grabbed Urashi Seiran's hands with one hand and then clamped her legs between his own.

Pu Siqinglan was firmly controlled by Kitagawa Taki and couldn't move an inch.

"You're pretty ruthless when you kick!"

As he spoke, Kitagawa Taki reached his other hand under Urashi Seiran's cheongsam.

Don't get me wrong, Kitagawa Taki only removed the pistol from Urashi Seiran's thigh.

Having obtained the pistol, Kitagawa Taki released Urashi Seiran and shoved her, causing her to fall onto the bed.

Pu Siqinglan asked in a cold voice, "Who exactly are you?"

With her strength, taking down an ordinary adult would be effortless for her.

But Kitagawa Taki in front of her was completely unable to fight back, and even her gun was taken away.

Playing with the still-warm pistol, Kitagawa Taki pulled over a chair, swaggered down, and even crossed his legs.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Kitagawa Taki said with a smile.

As he asked the question, Kitagawa Taki opened the drawer again and took out the ring.

Seeing that Kitagawa Taki even knew the location of the ring, Urashi Seiran completely gave up hope.

It turns out that Kitagawa Taki wasn't lying at all.

Kitagawa Taki then asked, "You're not Chinese, are you?"

After a moment of silence, Pu Siqinglan uttered two words: "No."

Kitagawa Taki nodded: "Very good. From now on, just answer whatever I ask."

"You must have killed quite a few people. What are you doing behind the scenes?"

Pu Siqinglan's beautiful eyes were filled with doubt. Why did Kitagawa Taki seem to know everything?
