Xiao Lan couldn't help but exclaim, "This courtyard is so well renovated!"

Speaking of the courtyard, Zhimu Caoba smiled and said, "Because my late wife loved gardening, the gardener and I took care of the courtyard with her."

Following the direction of the gaze of the planter, a man was pruning the flowers and plants.

Are there any guests?

A middle-aged man walked over.

Ueki Kusahachi introduced, "This is the lady's younger brother, Fujieda Shigeru."

Kitagawa Taki said, "We are agents of Detective Mouri."

Chapter 185 Princess Teitan and Queen Teitan

Later, the group met Fujieda Mikio inside the house, the person the client had mentioned receiving death threats.

Fujieda Mikio's attitude wasn't very good, but he didn't kick the group out.

"So you're the agents of those idiot detectives who take on pointless pranks and then seriously investigate them?"

Ran's gaze turned hostile after hearing Fujieda Mikio's description of Kogoro Mouri.

Kitagawa Taki didn't know how to respond to that, otherwise wouldn't he be admitting that Kogoro Mouri was an idiot detective?

Fortunately, Eri Kisaki took the initiative to say, "That's right, we're here to investigate whether there's anything wrong."

"Alright, then you can investigate thoroughly and see what you can find out. Anyway, it's obvious that it was the work of some servant who doesn't like me."

Fujieda Mikio completely disregarded the threat of death.

"They actually spent ten million on something like this." Fujieda Mikio snorted coldly and left on his own.

Just then, a young woman's voice came from the second floor.

"I'm so sorry, he's not in a good mood today."

A short-haired woman hurried down from the second floor.

Eri Kisaki asked, "Are you Mr. Fujieda's daughter?"

"Oh, please! I am Mikio's wife, Fujieda Soka, who is also the client." Fujieda Soka didn't mind Eri's misunderstanding.

Xiao Lan was taken aback. Fujieda Kanxiong looked to be sixty years old, while Fujieda Suka looked to be only in her twenties.

Kitagawa Taki wasn't surprised; older men marrying younger women is all too common.

Eri Kisaki looked enlightened. "You look very young."

Fujieda Suka smiled and said, "As long as there is love, age is never a problem."

"You're Detective Mouri's agents, huh? You're all handsome men and beautiful women!"

As she spoke, Fujieda Suka bent down and patted Conan's head, "There's also a handsome young man here!"

Conan forced a smile; the word "small" was a bit redundant.

Kitagawa Taki said, "Mrs. Suhua, please show us the death threats Mr. Fujieda received!"

"I've got everything ready. It's in the study. Please follow me, all three of you!"

As she spoke, Fujieda Soka led the way.

Conan rolled his eyes. Wasn't he a human being?

In the study.

Fujieda Suka took out a transparent bag containing two slips of paper and a used bullet.

The note read, "Watch out behind you," and "I'll send you to your death."

Good heavens, they've already given us bullets, and Mikio Fujieda still thinks it's a prank.

Kitagawa Taki raised an eyebrow, glanced at Conan, and sensed that the old man was probably nearing the end.

Conan noticed Kitagawa Taki's gaze, and thinking there was something dirty on his face, he touched it.

Eri Kisaki asked, "Are these the things that have been placed in Mr. Fujieda's bedroom for the past three days?"

Fujieda Suka nodded. "Yeah, it's scary, isn't it?"

Eri Kisaki then asked, "Have the police investigated the fingerprints on these two notes?"

Fujieda Suka said somewhat embarrassedly, "We did investigate, but because Kane was very angry at the time, he circulated the note to everyone in the family, so everyone's fingerprints are on it."

Just then, there was a knock on the study door.

"Please come in!"

“Mrs. Suhua, a lady wishes to see you,” said the butler, Ueki Kusaba.

Fujieda Suka asked curiously, "What kind of person is it?"

Ueki Kusaka replied, "She is a very beautiful lady."

Upon hearing this, Fujieda Suka's expression changed, and she rushed out of the room, asking as she ran, "She's in the entryway now, right?"

"Yes."

Kitagawa Taki walked out of the study, looked at the security camera on the wall, and asked, "Mr. Ueki, I see there are quite a few security cameras in the house. Didn't they capture anything?"

“No, we’ve already checked,” said Ueki Kusaba. “Actually, we should have installed a few more, but the master doesn’t agree.”

Kitagawa Taki:? ? ?

Why did he feel that Fujieda Mikio didn't care about his own life at all?

Before Eri could ask anything else, they heard voices coming from the entrance hall.

"What are you doing here, woman? Get out of here right now!"

The group quickly ran towards the entrance.

The visitor asked, "Miss, is there some misunderstanding?"

Upon seeing who had arrived, the group of people were taken aback.

"Taki, Eri, Ran? What are you doing here?" The person who came was none other than Fujimine Yukiko.

Yukiko Fujimine wore a high ponytail and an orange outfit today.

“Yukiko.” Eri Kisaki regained her composure.

"You're still the same as before, always trying to look young! But no matter how much you dress up, the former Teitan Princess can't escape the ravages of time!" Eri crossed her arms, her words laced with barbs.

Yukiko Fujimine was equally sharp-tongued: "I'll return that to you verbatim, you heavily made-up, aging Teitan Queen!"

Kitagawa Taki carefully examined the two of them and couldn't see any signs of aging.

Xiaolan thought the two were about to start arguing, so she quickly interjected, "Wait, you two shouldn't..."

Before they could finish speaking, the two of them actually shook hands.

"Yukiko, it's been a long time!"

"Yeah, it's been ten years, hasn't it?!"

Yukiko Fujimine sighed, "Ever since the school festival, no one has called me princess anymore."

"It's so nostalgic!" Eri Kisaki remarked with a touch of nostalgia.

Fujieda Suka, who had been holding back her words, couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly is she?"

Yukiko Fujimine explained, "I came because of Mr. Shigeru Fujieda's request."

At this point, Fujieda Shigeru stepped forward, looked at Fujimine Yukiko, and said, "Are you Ms. Yukiko? I am Fujieda Shigeru."

Fujieda Shigeru originally wanted to ask Kudo Yusaku to investigate the incident, but Kudo Yusaku was not in Japan.

Because Fujimine Yukiko was still angry, Kudo Yusaku had to persuade her a lot before she finally agreed to come.

Yukiko Fujimine nodded. "Hello, Mr. Fujieda."

“I am very grateful to Ms. Yukiko for making this special trip,” said Fujieda Shigeru. “After my sister passed away, I became a tenant living under someone else’s roof, so unlike Mrs. Soka who spent ten million yen to hire the Mori detective, I can only ask Ms. Yukiko for help for free.”

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Fujieda Shigeru, and thought to himself that what he said sounded rather sarcastic.

"Ten million?" Even Fujimine Yukiko was shocked by this amount; normally it would only be a few hundred thousand yen.

"Mouri cut off this much in one go?" Fujimine Yukiko whispered to Kisaki Eri and Ran for confirmation.

Eri Kisaki said helplessly, "The premise is that we can actually get that much."

Eri Kisaki didn't hide anything and told Yukiko Fujimine that Kogoro Mouri had already spent eight million yen.

"Really? It's already cost that much?"

Fujimine Yukiko was even more surprised than when she heard that she had earned ten million.

Chapter 186 Better to Die for Your Fellow Daoist Than for Yourself

"Keep your voice down!" Eri Kisaki quickly reminded Yukiko Fujimine to control her volume, since it would be too disgraceful if this got out.

Most of the money was spent before I even received it.

Afterwards, everyone went to the study together.

"Yukiko, are you and Kitagawa very close?"

Eri noticed that Yukiko Fujimine had addressed Taki Kitagawa more intimately than she had.

Yukiko Fujimine said, "You mean Taki? Of course, he lived next door to me when he was in high school."

"So that's how it is."

……

study.

Yukiko Fujimine also looked at the three items, but she still had no clue what to do with them.

Eri Kisaki shook her head. "Finding the person behind this with just these resources is practically impossible."

“But Taki is here!” Fujimine Yukiko said with a smile.
