Before Kitagawa Taki could answer, Mira said regretfully, "It's a pity that I just ascended the throne and have a lot of things to deal with. I can't accompany you. Today is the most."

Kitagawa Taki had anticipated this, and took Mira's hand, saying, "It's alright, then you can show me around the royal capital of Bespania today."

"Alright, let's go now!"

As she spoke, Mira stood up.

"Why don't you take a rest first?"

Mira refused: "No! I can rest in the car, so we can visit more places!"

She walked to the wardrobe, picked out a dress, and was about to change when she suddenly remembered that Kitagawa Taki was there too. She turned around and said, "Turn around!"

Kitagawa Taki laughed, "Mira, this isn't like you at all! Is there anything we haven't seen before?"

Mira didn't say anything, she just stared at Kitagawa Taki.

"Ok."

Kitagawa Taki spread his hands helplessly and turned away.

Then, after a rustling sound behind them, Mira's voice came again.

"All right."

Kitagawa Taki turned around and saw that Mira was wearing a big hat and sunglasses, which covered half of her face.

"How about this? Will you not recognize me now?"

Kitagawa Taki nodded. "Yes, it's beautiful. That's fine."

"let's go."

Mira took Kitagawa Taki's hand, and the two left the palace after giving instructions to Keith.

……

The two of them had a great time in the royal capital for the whole day.

"Mira, why do I feel like there are so many places that are unfamiliar to you, just like to me?"

After dinner, Kitagawa Taki asked his doubts.

Mira said earnestly, "Actually, I haven't been to many places before; I've mostly just heard about them. I'm so happy to have visited so many places with you today!"

Kitagawa Taki felt a pang of sympathy; Mira was only 20 years old and had to shoulder such a heavy burden. "I'll keep you company whenever you have free time in the future."

Mira nodded vigorously.

"We're going to the Royal Capital Hotel now!" Mira said, setting up the navigation.

……

Royal Capital Hotel.

Mira pulled Kitagawa Taki straight toward the elevator.

Kitagawa Taki asked in surprise, "Wait a minute, aren't we checking in?"

Mira whispered in Beichuan Taki's ear: "I asked Qis to book that apartment permanently, so just go up directly."

Kitagawa Taki suddenly realized why he couldn't book it yesterday; Mira had booked it.

"I was thinking of ordering it yesterday, but you beat me to it."

Mira's lips curved into a beautiful smile.

……

the next morning.

Keith arrived at the hotel; he had come specifically to drive Mira.

Because Kitagawa Taki is going back.

Keith drove all the way to the airport.

Mira sent Kitagawa Taki to the airport lobby.

"Won't you give me a hug?"

Kitagawa Taki stretched out his hands as if to hug him.

Mira threw herself into his arms and whispered, “I’ll give you a surprise after a while!”

Kitagawa Taki looked down at Mira and smiled, "Okay, I'll be waiting for your surprise."

"Alright, it's time for you to board."

Mira released Kitagawa Taki without hesitation.

The two waved goodbye.

……

in the afternoon.

When Kitagawa Taki returned to the exorcism office, there was no one in the office on the second floor.

Upon arriving on the third floor, Ai Haibara was lying on the sofa reading a book, her little feet swinging back and forth.

Hearing a noise at the door, Ai Haibara asked without turning her head, "Sister, did you buy it?"

Kitagawa Taki asked with a smile, "What do you want to buy?"

"Oh, it's you." Upon hearing Kitagawa Taki's voice, Haibara Ai rolled over, sat up cross-legged, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. "Why didn't I keep you as a princess in Besbania?"

"You are really unforgiving with your mouth."

Kitagawa Taki stepped forward and pinched Haibara Ai's cheek.

Ai Haibara rubbed her face, looking both embarrassed and angry, and said, "What are you doing?"

Kitagawa Taki laughed heartily and sat down next to Haibara Ai. "If I really become a prince, don't cry."

Ai Haibara muttered, "What do I have to cry about?"

"really?"

Kitagawa Taki turned his head and stared straight into Haibara Ai's eyes.

Ai Haibara turned her head away, crossed her arms, and said, "That bumbling detective from across the street came looking for you this morning."

Kitagawa Taki felt that he had found a way to control Haibara Ai. As long as he played straight with her, she would be weak.

"What do you want?" He knew that the bumbling detective Ai Haibara was talking about was Kogoro Mouri.

Ai Haibara explained, "They said there's a strange case that you'd definitely be interested in, and they wanted to invite you to come along."

"Oh? I'll go take a look."

Kitagawa Taki got up and walked outside.

Haibara Ai stared at Kitagawa Taki's back in a daze.

……

Mouri Detective Agency.

Ran and Conan are both at school and not at home.

As Kitagawa Taki reached the door, he heard Kogoro Mouri cheering.

He didn't knock and just walked in.

I saw Kogoro Mouri holding a bottle of beer and cheering at the TV.

There was a noisy sound coming from the TV, and it sounded like Marseille was being broadcast.

"Brother Kitagawa, you're back!" Upon seeing Kitagawa Taki, Kogoro Mori composed himself and curbed his carefree demeanor.

Kitagawa Taki cut to the chase and asked, "Brother Mori, I heard you have an interesting case?"

Kogoro Mouri turned down the TV volume, cleared his throat, and said, "Vampire, Kitagawa-kun, you must be interested, right?"

"Oh? A vampire!?" Kitagawa Taki's eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief. With Kitagawa Taki, the exorcist, by his side, he felt much more at ease.

"At the border between Gunma and Saitama prefectures, there is a Western-style house built deep in the mountains."

"Six months ago, a murder occurred in the forest near that mansion. The victim was a maid from the mansion. Her body was found upside down, tied to a wooden stake stuck in the ground. The death was extremely gruesome!"

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Wait, but what does this have to do with vampires?"

Kogoro Mori said in a deep voice, "The key point is that the maid's skin was too pale, and there were no large wounds on the body, only two small blood holes on her neck!"

Kitagawa Taki rubbed his chin, thinking, "This does have something to do with the legendary vampires."

To be honest, Gunma Prefecture is truly teeming with monsters and demons.

Kogoro Mori swallowed hard and said, "It's just like being drained of blood by a vampire."

"Brother Kitagawa, do you think vampires really exist?" Kogoro Mouri looked at Taki Kitagawa.

Kitagawa Taki said, "It does resemble the legendary vampire's blood-sucking, but it's too early to draw conclusions. Who knows, someone might be using the vampire story to kill people."

Then he asked, "When are we going?"

Maori Kogoro replied: "It's Saturday. I heard there's a meeting about inheritance that evening."

Chapter 243 Old Age Idiot Disease

"Inheritance?"

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Taki's lips twitched. He felt that this matter was most likely related to the inheritance.

Kogoro Mouri nodded: "Yes, the client is the housekeeper of the mansion. According to him, the owner of the mansion has been acting very strangely lately."

Kitagawa Taki pressed, "What strange behavior?"

Kogoro Mouri said, "The letter of authorization is vague, so we can only ask in person."

"Okay, let's go on Saturday afternoon."
