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

"Kyosuke Futo!"

"Is there anything else?" Kyosuke Kazato turned around.

The next second, Kitagawa Taki slapped him across the face.

Kyosuke Kazato was sent flying by the powerful slap.

He felt dizzy and lightheaded, half of his face was burning, and there was something in his mouth. When he spat it out, he realized it was his tooth.

"Can you still laugh now?" Kitagawa Taki stepped forward, looking down at Kazato Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kazato could no longer maintain his composure and glared fiercely at Taki Kitagawa.

“Mr. Kitagawa…” The police were stunned.

Conan was also startled and slapped the person away; that took a lot of strength.

However, he disagreed with Kitagawa Taki's approach, arguing that even if Kazato Kyosuke was the real culprit, this method was inappropriate.

“You… are finished…” Kazato Kyosuke said, enunciating each word clearly.

Kitagawa Taki said with a smile, "I'll be waiting for you!"

Kyosuke Kazato didn't dare linger; he picked up the teeth from the ground and ran away.

“Mr. Kitagawa, you…” The policeman was in a dilemma, as Kitagawa Taki had hit someone right in front of him.

Kitagawa Taki waved his hand dismissively, "It's okay, just say you couldn't stop me."

Conan asked seriously, "Did that guy really do it?"

"I have no grudge against him, so why would I frame him?"

After saying that, Kitagawa Taki walked towards Ran and the others.

As Kitagawa Taki walked, he sent a message to Hojo Hitomi, who had recently returned to Tokyo, asking her to kidnap Kazato Kyosuke.

As a professional assassin, Hojo Hitomi certainly has no shortage of methods for interrogating people.

Let her give Kyosuke Kazato a good beating, and then sink him into Tokyo Bay.

"Use whatever methods you have; this guy's got a tough tongue."

After explaining things to Hitomi Hojo, Taki Kitagawa found Ran and the others waiting in front of the station.

"Kitagawa, what just happened? Was that Dr. Kazato?" Eri, who had seen the conflict from afar, asked with concern.

Conan blurted out, "Kitagawa-nii said he saw Kazato Kyosuke push Ran-neechan!"

"what?"

Eri Kisaki believes in Taki Kitagawa, but she finds it hard to believe that Ran's doctor is the one who caused her amnesia.

Xiao Lan asked worriedly, "Will there be any trouble?"

“If anything happens, Kitagawa, just tell me!” Eri Kisaki said.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems," Kitagawa Taki said. "Ran, were you scared just now?"

Xiaolan shook her head.

"That's good."

……

Meanwhile, after leaving the station, Kyosuke Kazato took a taxi to the nearest hospital to treat his injuries.

After treating his injuries, he prepared to go to the police station to report the incident. He was determined not to let the matter rest, as half of his face was still swollen.

Just as he reached the roadside, a black sedan pulled up in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful woman got out of the car and walked towards him.

Kyosuke Kazato sensed something was wrong and turned to run.

But he hadn't run more than a few steps before the woman knocked him down.

When he woke up again, he found himself tied up.

I glanced around and it seemed to be an abandoned warehouse.

Looking at the woman with an icy expression, Kazato Kyosuke gave an awkward smile: "Miss, we don't know each other, do we?"

Hojo Hitomi didn't waste any words and asked directly, "Tell me, why did you kill Niino Yasuo and those policemen?"

Kyosuke Kazato's pupils contracted, his mind racing. "You were sent by that bastard Kitagawa Taki?"

He never expected Kitagawa Taki to be so audacious, not only beating him in front of the police but also sending people to kidnap him.

But his response was a hard slap across the face, landing on his uninjured left cheek.

"Trust me, you will confess."

Hitomi Hojo opened a box containing all sorts of utensils.

Kyosuke Kazato's heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "Miss, what you're doing is a crime! Here, I'll give you money. I'm a doctor, I have a lot of money. Let me go, and I promise I won't tell anyone!"

Hojo Hitomi looked at Kazato Kyosuke with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and casually picked up a pair of pliers from the box.

"No! No!!"

Kyosuke Kazato was like a fish on a chopping board, jumping around wildly, trying to escape the terror that was about to be faced.

……

Kitagawa Taki, who was shopping with Ran and a few others, received a call from Inspector Megure.

It turned out that the policeman had truthfully reported what had happened at the station.

"Brother Kitagawa, you might be in trouble this time. I heard that Kyosuke Kazato seems to be seriously injured?"

“He brought it on himself, Inspector Megure. I suggest you investigate his past. He murdered Dr. Nino, so he must have had some connection with him before,” Kitagawa Taki said, offering his speculation.

Inspector Megure still chose to believe Kitagawa Taki's words, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away, but Kitagawa, you should be prepared, Kazato Kyosuke definitely won't let this go."

After hanging up the phone, Kitagawa Taki asked about the progress on Hojo Hitomi's side.

Kyosuke Kazato is tough, but not tough for long.

He couldn't hold on for long and confessed everything.

It turns out that this guy used to be a surgeon at the University of Tokyo Hospital, but he was forced to end his surgical career after his dominant hand was cut by his colleague, Yasushi Nino.

So he killed Nino Yasushi after learning that Nino Yasushi had done it intentionally.

After the police reopened their investigation into the death of Yasushi Nino, fearing exposure, he went on to kill two more police officers.

The reason the gunpowder reaction wasn't detected was because he used an umbrella to shield himself from it.

Because Kyosuke Kazato "voluntarily" confessed everything, Hitomi Hojo gave him a "reward" before sending him on his way.

Chapter 206 The suspect is Kitagawa Taki?

It wasn't until the next day, when Yakushino Hospital discovered that Kyosuke Kazato hadn't come to work, couldn't be reached by phone, and was not at his residence, that they reported him missing to the police.

"Inspector, Kyosuke Kazato went to the hospital for treatment yesterday and hasn't been heard from since."

Takagi Wataru reported his investigation results to Inspector Megure.

"Inspector...do you think Mr. Kitagawa might have done this?" Takagi Wataru opened his mouth, then asked hesitantly.

Inspector Megure said seriously, "I've already applied to check his call records."

Because police officers were constantly following Kitagawa Taki and his group, Kitagawa Taki himself could not have had the opportunity to commit the crime.

Inspector Megure then asked, "What about the investigation into Kyosuke Kazato?"

Takagi Wataru flipped through the police handbook. "Seven years ago, Kazato Kyosuke worked at the University of Tokyo Hospital. He was a colleague of Niino Yasushi, and was accidentally cut on the hand by him, which forced him to switch to becoming a cardiologist."

Inspector Megure pondered, "So, Kyosuke Kazato has a motive."

Takagi Wataru said, "But there's something strange. If Kazato Kyosuke wanted revenge because his hand was cut, why didn't he do it then, but waited six years?"

“Indeed,” Inspector Megure said. “What were the circumstances at the time?”

Takagi Wataru replied, "According to a nurse, it was during a surgical procedure that Nino Yasushi cut Kazato Kyosuke's left wrist."

"By the way, at that time, Kyosuke Kazato was also known as the 'youngest first-class surgeon'!"

Inspector Megure said, "That gives him even more motive to kill!"

"But if he did it, how did he manage to evade the gunpowder reaction detection?" Inspector Megure was somewhat perplexed.

……

restaurant.

What clue is Conan trying to find?

At that time, none of the people who remained in the hotel tested positive for gunpowder, including Kyosuke Kazato.

How is it possible to fire a gun without leaving any gunpowder smoke?

Conan walked along, lost in thought, and stopped when he passed an umbrella stand.

He remembered that when Xiaolan stored her bag, the white umbrella was still locked on the umbrella stand, but after the incident, the umbrella was left aside.

So Conan found the front desk and successfully got the umbrella.

Conan opened the umbrella, revealing a noticeable hole.

Now, the murderer's modus operandi is completely clear.

Conan then went to the bathroom and used a voice changer to call Inspector Megure as Shinichi Kudo.

After explaining the killer's modus operandi, he learned from Inspector Megure about Kyosuke Kazato's disappearance.

Conan immediately thought of Kitagawa Taki.

……

Kitagawa Exorcism Office.

"Conan, did you need something?" Kitagawa Taki looked at Conan, who had a serious expression on his face.

Conan glanced at Ai Haibara beside him but said nothing.
