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

Kitagawa Taki and Robert had known each other for less than a day.

Kitagawa Taki said, "Robert is the murderer. I'm looking for him to find out where the spider silk came from."

"What??"

Ryuji Takeda was terrified; in his panic, he almost lost control of the car in the mud.

Kitagawa Taki reminded him, "Mr. Ryuji, don't get excited, calm down."

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but how could Robert be the murderer?” Takeda Ryuji slowed down.

Kitagawa Taki said with a smile, "When we get back, Detective Mouri will explain it to us."

……

The cemetery wasn't far from the Takeda family's residence, and the group arrived there in no time.

Outside the cemetery, Takeda Yuzo's truck was parked.

Several people got out of the car with flashlights to check, but the car door was wide open and there was no one inside.

Ryuji Takeda murmured, "Strange, with such heavy rain, where could Robert have gone?"

There's nowhere to take shelter from the rain inside the cemetery.

Fujimine Yukiko's gaze turned grave: "I'm afraid something has happened."

Kitagawa Taki nodded in agreement.

Ryuji Takeda swallowed hard. "There have been rumors of Spider Fairies appearing around this cemetery..."

"Where is Miss Misa's grave?" Kitagawa Taki asked, turning his head.

“Over there,” Ryuji Takeda pointed into the distance.

So the three of them walked over together.

The cemetery was still rather eerie late at night, especially with the rain.

Fujimine Yukiko unconsciously moved closer to Kitagawa Taki, grabbing his clothes with her hand.

Kitagawa Taki looked down and teased, "Are you scared?"

Yukiko Fujimine retorted stubbornly, "How could that be? I was just afraid of falling and getting covered in mud."

Kitagawa Taki didn't say anything more; he still needed to use his divine sense to explore his surroundings.

“We’ve arrived.” Ryuji Takeda stopped.

Kitagawa Taki glanced at it; there were some offerings in front of the tombstone, but nothing seemed amiss.

"Mr. Ryuji, what's further into the cemetery?" Kitagawa Taki shone his flashlight into the deeper part of the cemetery.

Ryuji Takeda replied, "Those are all abandoned graves that haven't been tended to for many years."

"Should we go any further?" Fujimine Yukiko asked.

"Of course, Robert hasn't been found yet, has he?"

After saying that, Kitagawa Taki walked deeper into the cemetery.

Seeing this, Ryuji Takeda and Yukiko Fujimine had no choice but to follow.

Unlike the outside, the tombs inside are overgrown with weeds.

……

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they had all left the cemetery.

Ryuji Takeda started to back out. "Mr. Kitagawa, why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow morning?"

Kitagawa Taki smiled and said, "Wait for me here, I've found it."

Within his spiritual sense, there was a cave on the hillside, hidden by vines.

Fujimine Yukiko grabbed Kitagawa Taki's arm. "No, I want to go too."

"Alright, Mr. Long Er, we'll wait for you."

After saying that, Kitagawa Taki jumped up a slope that was as tall as a person.

Yukiko Fujimine could only watch helplessly from below.

Kitagawa Taki extended his right hand. "Give me your hand."

Fujimine Yukiko placed her hand on Kitagawa Taki's hand, and Kitagawa Taki pulled her up directly.

The mountain path is difficult to walk at night, and it becomes even more difficult when it rains.

Fortunately, Yukiko Fujimine is not spoiled.

The two finally arrived at the cave.

Kitagawa Taki parted the vines at the entrance of the cave.

Fujimine Yukiko asked in surprise, "How did you find this place?"

Kitagawa Taki smiled mysteriously. "It's a secret."

Yukiko Fujimine knew that Taki Kitagawa didn't want to tell her, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"You stay behind me for a bit," Kitagawa Taki instructed.

Yukiko Fujimine nodded and gripped the flashlight tightly.

The two walked deeper into the cave.

Before long, they arrived at a spacious cavern.

Fujimine Yukiko suddenly exclaimed, "What is that?"

Chapter 162 Spider Silk

Because the flashlight's illumination range was limited, Yukiko Fujimine couldn't see the whole picture at all.

But Kitagawa Taki could see it clearly: it was a huge spider web with two or three cocoons wrapped in spider silk.

Robert was inside one of the cocoons, but thankfully he was still alive.

He was clearly being used as a backup food supply.

Kitagawa Taki fired a water arrow directly at the spider web, hoping to lure the spider out.

Sure enough, feeling the vibration of the spider web, a spider larger than a person crawled out from another cavern.

Hearing the rustling sound, Fujimine Yukiko shone her flashlight on the spider.

The photo startled her; she had never seen such a large spider before.

"what!!!"

Yukiko Fujimine threw away the flashlight and hugged Taki Kitagawa tightly.

Upon meeting, the spider shot a ball of silk at the two of them.

Kitagawa Taki put his arm around Fujimine Yukiko's waist and dodged to the side, while tentatively firing two water arrows at the spider, but they didn't even break through the spider's "shell".

This was exactly what Kitagawa Taki had expected; he wanted to provoke the spider so that he could easily fleece it and make it spit out more silk.

Kitagawa Taki, carrying Fujimine Yukiko, leaped from side to side, leaving clumps of spider silk on the ground and cave walls.

Yukiko Fujimine's performance was alright; she was only startled when they first met.

Gradually, she noticed that Kitagawa Taki seemed to be playing with the spider, and her anxiety subsided.

Finally, the spider stopped spinning silk and attacked the two of them directly with its body.

Kitagawa Taki didn't hold back either, shooting several water arrows at the spider's eyes and abdomen.

Squeak squeak~

The spider was instantly injured and let out a sharp cry.

It seemed to realize that the human in front of it was not someone to be trifled with, and turned to flee into the depths of the cave along the spider web.

Extremely fast!

Kitagawa Taki put Fujimine Yukiko down and handed her two golden talismans, saying, "Wait here for me."

After saying that, Kitagawa Taki chased after him.

The spider moved much faster on its web, and Kitagawa Taki could barely keep up.

He made a "fight" hand gesture, drawing upon his spiritual power to unleash a bolt of lightning on the spider.

The spider immediately stopped moving.

Kitagawa Taki let out a soft breath and stepped forward to use a fireball technique to destroy the evidence.

The most valuable part of this spider is its silk, which contains spiritual energy; the silk in the cave is enough.

Soon, Kitagawa Taki returned to the cave hall he had been in before.

Yukiko Fujimine had already picked up the flashlight. Seeing Taki Kitagawa return, she asked anxiously, "Are you alright? Where's the spider?"

"I'm fine, the spider is dead."

This spider is much weaker than the snow woman from last time; it only relies on its large size and spider silk.

Yukiko Fujimine stared in disbelief: "How did you kill such a huge spider?"

"Didn't you see it?"

"In complete darkness, what can I see?"

Just now, Fujimine Yukiko only felt Kitagawa Taki jumping around, and couldn't see anything clearly.

Kitagawa Taki pointed to the cocoon above: "Never mind if you can't see it. I'll put Robert down first."

Yukiko Fujimine looked up and couldn't help but ask, "Robert... is he dead?"

“He’s not dead, thanks to the fact that spiders like to eat live things.” As he spoke, Kitagawa Taki put Robert down and peeled the spider silk off his body.

With Robert in one hand, Kitagawa Taki said, "Let's go, I'll see you out first."

After escorting the two to the cave entrance, Kitagawa Taki turned back to retrieve the spider silk from the cave hall.
