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

Kitagawa Taki readily agreed, saying, "OK."

"I'll send you the address later. I'll be going now."

After saying that, Vermouth quickly left the venue.

Looking in the direction Vermouth left, Kitagawa Taki took out his phone and sent a message to Hojo Hitomi.

Although Kitagawa Taki really wanted to follow and see the two women's fight, he had more important things to do right now.

He remembered that Pisco knew Shiho Miyano when she was a child.

Since we happened to run into him, we might as well take care of him.

Kitagawa Taki went to the restroom and used shapeshifting to transform into Gin's appearance, then followed Pisco from a distance to the hotel parking lot.

Seeing Pisco get into a black sedan, Kitagawa Taki randomly picked an unlucky guy, stole the car, and followed him.

When they reached a road with sparse traffic, Kitagawa Taki floored the accelerator, overtook Pisco's car, and slowly brought it to a stop.

Pisco noticed that someone was deliberately blocking his way. He checked his pistol, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he got out of the car and walked towards Kitagawa Taki's car.

Bang bang~

Pisco slammed his fist heavily against the car window.

Kitagawa Taki slowly rolled down the car window, revealing Gin's indifferent face.

"Gin??"

Why aren't you driving a Porsche?

Pisco's hand froze, and he asked instinctively.

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Pisco and uttered two words: "Get in the car."

Pisco swallowed hard and obediently got into the passenger seat.

At this moment, he felt a little uneasy, wondering what Gin wanted by coming to his door.

He had heard about what Gin had been doing recently; Gin had cleaned out a lot of rats in the organization.

Ruthless and merciless.

He is indeed a veteran of the organization, but Gin's status has risen accordingly, while he has become increasingly marginalized due to his age. Otherwise, the organization would not have assigned him this kind of assassination mission.

Therefore, Pisco was still somewhat intimidated by Gin.

Kitagawa Taki said coldly, "It seems you've been in a high position and living a comfortable life for too long, Pisco. You still dare to come directly to me in this situation."

Pisco opened his mouth, "I..."

He had his own unspeakable suffering. Isn't it normal for someone who is getting old to be less vigilant?

The next second, Kitagawa Taki pulled out a pistol and pressed it against Pisco's forehead.

"What...what are you doing, Gin!" Pisco's eyes widened. "I've completed the assassination mission!"

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Really? I heard that Tonguchi Shigehiko was poisoned, and that Vermouth gave you your handkerchief, right?"

That's a fact, and Pisco can't deny it.

Seeing that Gin was truly intent on killing, Pisco quickly said, "No, I've served 'that man' like a slave for so many years!"

You've done meritorious service for the organization, you've shed blood for the organization, right?

Sorry, but I killed a loyal subject.

Kitagawa Taki's lips curled into a smile, and after a moment's thought, he asked, "Who is 'that gentleman'?"

Pisco was taken aback by the question and retorted, "Huh? Why are you asking this? Are you planning a rebellion??"

"It seems you haven't grasped the situation yet."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kitagawa Taki fired a shot at Pisco's shoulder.

"what!"

Pisco screamed and his body trembled like a leaf.

“I…I don’t know who 'that gentleman' is…”

Piu!

Kitagawa Taki then shot Pisco in the other shoulder.

Pisco cried out, "I really don't know!"

Seeing that Pisco genuinely didn't know, Kitagawa Taki stopped pressing him for answers and simply shot him in the head, sending him on his way.

Pisco's eyes were wide open like saucers; he died without ever understanding why Gin wanted to kill him...

the other side.

After receiving Kitagawa Taki's message, Hojo Hitomi immediately became alert and started wandering around the streets, which is how she discovered Vermouth, who was following her.

Then, Hitomi Hojo turned into a small alley.

Vermouth knew she had been discovered, but she still followed without hesitation.

"who are you?"

Hojo Hitomi looked at the woman in front of her, who had an ordinary appearance but a devilish figure.

Because of the time constraint, Vermouth only put on a hood.

Vermouth laughed and said, "That's exactly my question. Who are you? And why did you kill Shigehiko Tonguchi?"

She could tell that the woman was not disguised, so she couldn't possibly be the mysterious person.

If that mysterious person knew the organization wanted to silence Shigehiko Takumi, they should have protected him.

The reason I followed her was not only out of pure curiosity, but also to verify her guess.

Upon hearing Vermouth's words, Hojo Hitomi immediately pulled out her pistol and pointed it at Vermouth without saying a word.

But Vermouth was just as quick to draw her gun as she was.

Almost simultaneously, the two guns were pointed at each other.

The situation instantly reached a stalemate.

Finally, it was Vermouth who broke the silence.

"How about this: we both throw away our guns, and if you can shoot me, I'll let you go, okay?"

Hojo Hitomi's expression shifted slightly, and she slowly said, "Okay."

"Then I'll count down from three, and we'll slowly lower our guns."

Seeing that Hojo Hitomi had no objections, Vermouth began the countdown.

"3..."

"2..."

The two slowly lowered their hands.

"1..."

After counting down to the last number, the two women simultaneously raised their guns again.

Hehehe~

Vermouth was overjoyed.

"Looks like we have pretty good chemistry!"

In contrast, Hojo Hitomi's face was frosty, and she dared not let her guard down in the slightest.

Vermouth then suggested, "How about this, let's slowly back out of this alley."

After saying that, Vermouth took a step back.

Seeing this, Hojo Hitomi also began to retreat; she didn't want to fight this dangerous woman to the death.

In less than a minute, the two of them left the alley.

Vermouth did not give chase.

From Hojo Hitomi's drawing of the gun, she could tell that this woman was probably not related to the Mud Ginseng Association, which she had guessed.

After all, in Vermouth's mind, the Mud Ginseng Society members were nothing more than hooligans.

Chapter 140 Vermouth

in the afternoon.

Police officers who received a report from a passerby whose car had been stolen by Kitagawa Taki finally found Pisco dead inside the car.

Because it involved a murder, the case was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Division, First Investigation Section, Violent Offenses Division.

Inspector Megure and his subordinates arrived at the scene quickly.

Upon inspecting the scene, Takagi Wataru shouted, "Inspector, the deceased is Masuyama Kenzo, one of the seven people from this morning!"

"what?"

Inspector Megure was questioning the passerby whose car had been stolen when he heard this name and rushed over to check.

All I could see was an old man with white hair and a white beard, dressed in a black suit, shot several times, lying in the passenger seat in a strange posture.

Inspector Megure's face darkened. "It really was him!"

Just a few hours later, two important figures were killed in succession at a memorial service.

Inspector Megure reasonably suspects that the two deaths are related! Perhaps they were committed by the same person!

"Mr. Kobayashi, please continue." Inspector Megure continued to gather clues from passersby.

"It happened in the parking lot of the Beihu City Hotel. I had just gotten into my car when a man dressed in all black with long silver hair dragged me out of the car. I was about to argue with him when he pulled out a gun..."

The man named Kobayashi told the truth.

Silver hair, black clothes...

Isn't this the same suspect the prosecutor mentioned before?
