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

His breathing was steady; he didn't seem drunk.

Are you pretending to be drunk?

Kitagawa Taki's lips curled up slightly. Since Mira was going to pretend to be drunk, then he wouldn't hold back.

Kitagawa Taki put his arm around Mira's legs and lifted her up in a princess carry.

He could clearly feel Mira's body tense up; she was indeed faking being drunk!

Kitagawa Taki, holding Mira, paid the bill at the front desk amidst a knowing smile.

I found my car in the parking lot and put Mila in the back seat.

Kitagawa Taki drove to a luxury hotel and booked a presidential suite.

In the room, Kitagawa Taki placed Mira on the bed and then quietly watched her.

He could feel Mira's heartbeat quickening and her face flushing.

Just when Mira was about to give up, Kitagawa Taki slapped her on the butt.

"Okay, stop pretending, or I'll take your clothes off!"

Mira's eyelashes trembled slightly as she pretended to have just woken up, looking around in confusion. "Where am I?"

"Since you're awake in the hotel room, there's no need for me to trouble myself. Just take a shower yourself!"

Mira glared at Kitagawa Taki with displeasure. What did he mean by that? Did he think that giving her a bath was tiring for him?

Kitagawa Taki left Mira's room satisfied; the little girl still wanted to lie to him.

……

Early the next morning.

"Your Highness, where are you going so early?"

Mira, who had been tiptoeing, seemed to have been frozen in place.

She wanted to sneak away quietly in the early morning, but she never expected that Kitagawa Taki would get up even earlier than her.

Caught red-handed, Mira stubbornly insisted, "I'm going to the restroom!"

Kitagawa Taki asked with a smile, "Don't you have a bathroom in your room?"

Luckily, he got up early to cultivate immortality, otherwise Mira might have really gotten away with it.

Although it can be found.

Mira snorted, "The bathroom in my room is broken!"

After saying that, Mira pushed open the door and went into the bathroom.

Soon after, Mira came out, said "I want to sleep a little longer," and went back to her room.

In the room, Mira buried herself in the blankets and took out the pendant from in front of her.

Looking at her smiling mother, Mira silently shed tears, "Mother..."

Eight o'clock.

Kitagawa Taki sat in the living room, waiting for Mira to come out on her own.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Kitagawa Taki opened the door and found it was the woman from the hotel.

At this moment, she made no attempt to disguise herself, wearing a tight leather outfit that revealed her stunning figure.

Kitagawa Taki frowned.

The woman spoke first: "Mr. Kitagawa, please don't misunderstand, I meant no harm."

“My name is Fuji Mineko, and I am a lawyer employed by Mr. Keith.”

As he spoke, Fuji Mineko pulled out a business card.

Kitagawa Taki took the business card, glanced at it, and let Fuji Mineko in.

lawyer?

He didn't believe it, because Fuji Mineko had a gun on him.

Even the name Fuji Mineko is probably fake.

Kitagawa Taki wasn't surprised that he could find this place.

Knowing his name, finding this place isn't difficult.

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Ms. Fuji Mineko, what did Mr. Keith ask you to do?"

"The original plan was for me to take the princess out for a fun day, and then take her back to Bespania."

Fuji Mineko smiled softly, "However, after witnessing Mr. Kitagawa's methods last night, I gave up."

Kitagawa Taki said calmly, "I will take Mira back to the SAKURASAKU Hotel."

Fuji Mineko crossed his legs and said, "Mr. Kitagawa, I'm afraid this won't work. You may not know this, but Mr. Keith and the others have already returned to Bespania."

Kitagawa Taki frowned. "What about the girl who was pretending to be Mira?"

Fuji Mineko smiled faintly and said, "Of course we'll go back together."

Is he afraid that he will run away with Mira?

Chapter 197 Cherry Blossom Tree

"Let's go, I'll go back to the hotel with you!"

At that moment, Mira pushed open the door and came out.

Mira was taken aback when she saw Fuji Mineko, then asked, "Who is this woman?"

"Sent by that Keith."

Kitagawa Taki explained, then looked at Fuji Mineko and said, "Ms. Fuji Mineko, you can go now. I'll take Mira home."

Fuji Mineko looked at Mira and said, "You don't need to come with me. I have a faster way to Bespania."

Mira remained silent.

"Alright then, I'll go first."

Fuji Mineko shrugged and left the room.

Mira then asked, "What does she mean by going back to Bespania?"

Kitagawa Taki replied, "Because Keith took Ran back with him."

Mira apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Keith would do that."

Kitagawa Taki shook his head: "Let's go, let's get out of here first!"

As he walked, Kitagawa Taki took out his phone and made a call to Kogoro Mouri.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri, Conan, Inspector Megure, and Wataru Takagi were staking out Haneda.

They'll snatch Xiaolan back as soon as she appears.

"It's a call from Brother Kitagawa."

Kogoro Mouri answered the phone.

Kitagawa Taki explained the current situation in a few words.

Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise, "What? Ran has already been taken to Bespania?"

Kitagawa Taki said, "But Mori-san doesn't need to worry too much. The person behind the assassination attempt on the princess knows that Ran isn't the real princess, so they won't bother her."

"Brother Mori, hurry back to the Mori Detective Agency and bring Ran's ID and other documents. We're going to Bespania together."

Fortunately, there is a visa-free policy between Barbadian and Japanese countries, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

"Okay, I'll go back right away!"

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri hung up the phone.

Conan, upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, asked anxiously, "Uncle, Ran-neechan was taken to Basbania?"

Inspector Megure also asked, "Are you sure, Mori-kun?"

"The press conference hasn't been completed yet..."

Before Conan could finish speaking, the person in charge announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, Her Highness the Princess has had an urgent matter to attend to and cannot hold this press conference..."

Inspector Megure said, "Brother Mori, go back and get your documents first. I'll see if I can help you contact someone."

Conan's face showed resentment, because he didn't have any identification documents and couldn't leave the country through legitimate means.

……

Haneda Airport.

When Kitagawa Taki arrived with Mira, Kogoro Mouri had not yet returned.

Conan, seeing Kitagawa Taki and Mira together, angrily said, "Kitagawa, you're with the princess, why don't you bring her back? Don't you know that Ran is in danger when she dresses up as the princess?"

Kitagawa Taki didn't hold back and flicked Conan on the forehead. "Do I need you to teach me how to do things? Princess Mira already encountered several assassination attempts last night, Ran is safe."

Conan clutched his head, wincing in pain.

That wretched Kitagawa Taki! Once he turns back into Kudo Shinichi, I'll make him pay!

However, upon hearing this news, Conan felt somewhat relieved.

Inspector Megure murmured, "This is the real Princess Mira! She really does look like Ran."

"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Mira behaved very appropriately.

……

Before long, Kogoro Mouri returned.
