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

She and Chris came to his door with the divorce papers, and Kudo Yusaku naturally disagreed at first, no matter what he said.

It wasn't until a few days later, when Chris threw evidence of Kudo Yu's infidelity in his face, that he agreed to the divorce.

Fujimine Yukiko didn't want to get into too much trouble, so she simply split the money 50/50, which was enough for her to live a carefree life for the rest of her days.

However, considering Shinichi Kudo's current situation, the two agreed not to tell him for the time being.

Upon hearing that Vermouth was involved, Kitagawa Taki couldn't help but ask, "You mean it was Chris Vineyard who helped you resolve your divorce?"

“Yes!” Fujimine Yukiko nodded and smiled, “Thanks to Chris, if you want to get to know her, I can introduce you.”

Then, changing the subject, he said seriously, "However, you are not allowed to make a move on her!"

She knew all too well how charming Chris was; if she were a man, she would be smitten.

Kitagawa Taki had a strange expression. As expected of Vermouth, she actually had the leisure to help him win over women.

"What are you thinking about?" Fujimine Yukiko asked, leaning closer when Kitagawa Taki remained silent.

"It's nothing, I promise I won't make a move on Chris Vineyard."

What does Chris Vineyard have to do with his interest in Vermouth?

Yukiko Fujimine nodded, then glanced at her phone. It was already past nine o'clock at night. "It's getting late, I have to go back."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Although the office is not far from the Fujimine family home.

……

Dr. Agasa's house.

Conan told Professor Agasa about his recent situation.

Since leaving the Mouri Detective Agency, he has encountered fewer cases.

Together with the three little ones, we encountered quite a few cases.

But it has absolutely nothing to do with that black-clad organization.

"Shinichi, how about I go ask Taki?"

Dr. Agasa asked tentatively.

Without even thinking, Conan refused, saying, "No need. My dad is still investigating for me, and he'll catch those guys sooner or later!"

He didn't harbor any hatred towards Kitagawa Taki; he just wanted to prove himself and didn't need to seek help from Kitagawa Taki!

Dr. Agasa sighed inwardly; that was just Shinichi Kudo's personality.

"Doctor, I'll head back now."

Conan got up and said goodbye to Professor Agasa.

When I went outside, I saw a car parked in front of my house.

He recognized that car all too well; it belonged to Kitagawa Taki.

Just as Conan was wondering why Kitagawa Taki's car was parked in front of his house, he saw Fujimine Yukiko get out of the passenger seat and chat with the driver with a smile on her face.

???

A huge question mark rose in Conan's mind: Wasn't his mother in America? How come she's with Kitagawa Taki?

He strode out the door, but Kitagawa Taki's car had already sped away.

Yukiko Fujimine remained standing there, gazing intently.

"Mom, didn't you go to America?"

Conan's voice called her out of her thoughts.

"Shinichi, you scared me!" Fujimine Yukiko patted her chest.

"Mom, you haven't answered my question yet." Conan looked suspiciously in the direction Kitagawa Taki's car had driven away.

"What's the problem?"

Conan was speechless and repeated, "Mom, didn't you go to America? How come you're with that Kitagawa guy?"

"I just got back today. I just need to talk to Taki about something." Fujimine Yukiko unlocked the door and walked into the house.

"You've been in the US for so long? Didn't you say you were only going for a few days?"

Conan is tired of eating takeout these days.

Yukiko Fujimine tapped Conan on the head impatiently: "Are you interrogating a criminal here?"

Conan covered his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "I was just showing you some concern!"

"Heh, you care about me? If you care about me, why don't you call me?"

Yukiko Fujimine turned on the light, changed her shoes, and went inside.

To avoid arousing Conan's suspicion, she brought nothing back with her; all her belongings were left at Chris's house.

Conan was speechless at Fujimine Yukiko's words; he hadn't actually made a phone call.

He followed her into the house, and under the living room lights, he noticed that Fujimine Yukiko's lips seemed a little swollen.

So he asked, "Mom, what happened to your mouth? It looks a little swollen."

Yukiko Fujimine quickly covered her mouth and said, "I was bitten by something."

Conan nodded, not giving it much thought.

Yukiko Fujimine breathed a sigh of relief, picked up her bag, went upstairs, and locked the divorce agreement in a drawer.

Chapter 293 Is he that kind of person?

When Kitagawa Taki returned to the office, Akai Mary and her daughter had already left, and Haibara Ai was also not there. Only Miyano Akemi was still on the second floor.

"They've left? Did they mention drug A?"

Akemi Miyano shook her head and said, "Aunt Mary said we can talk about dealing with the organization another day."

Kitagawa Taki was somewhat surprised that Akai Mary hadn't asked about the medicine.

He walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water.

Akemi Miyano smelled a fragrance on Taki Kitagawa, but it wasn't her perfume.

Excluding Ai Haibara and the others, that leaves only Yukiko Fujimine, who just arrived.

Furthermore, it won't pick up the fragrance unless there's close contact.

Akemi Miyano had a guess in mind and immediately asked, "Taki-kun, are you and Yukiko...?"

Although she hadn't finished speaking, Kitagawa Taki understood from her expression and asked curiously, "Akami, how did you figure that out?"

His mouth is clean.

Akemi Miyano covered her mouth and chuckled, "You smell nice!"

Kitagawa Taki suddenly realized that he had been spending time with Fujimine Yukiko all along, and Miyano Akemi hadn't mentioned it, so he hadn't thought there was anything wrong with it.

Akemi Miyano rolled her eyes at Taki Kitagawa: "Be careful Ai doesn't smell it!"

Kitagawa Taki smiled and asked, "What do you think of Aunt Mary?"

Akemi Miyano exclaimed, "It feels like a dream. I never thought I'd see you again."

Kitagawa Taki nodded, it seemed the two sisters had a decent impression of Akai Mary.

“By the way, Taki-kun,” Miyano Akemi said in a deep voice, “the one who poisoned Aunt Mary was Vermouth!”

"I understand. I'll ask that woman about it later."

……

After taking a shower, Kitagawa Taki returned to his bedroom and called Vermouth on his cell phone.

“I met someone, Mary Akai,” Kitagawa Taki said bluntly.

"Oh? So that woman is still alive!"

Vermouth did not ask Kitagawa Taki how they met.

From her tone, Kitagawa Taki could tell that she was in high spirits.

Kitagawa Taki asked, "I heard you poisoned her?"

Vermouth retorted, "She told you all this? You didn't let her meet the Miyano sisters, did you?"

Kitagawa Taki remained silent, while Vermouth chuckled and said, "She should thank me! The organization's orders were to eliminate her, and they even sent Gin and me with her."

I fed her poison, which not only saved her life but also allowed her to see her niece.

So, does she know that her dear niece made the poison?

"Then you'll be disappointed, she doesn't know yet."

Vermouth said nonchalantly, "That's fine, I think it'll be soon anyway."

"Has the organization been making any moves lately?" Kitagawa Taki changed the subject.

"No, but I might have to change people for this task soon. You know how it is, it's been too long without results."

"Who should we replace?"

"It's most likely a guy codenamed 'Bourbon.' That guy has a very keen sense of smell, so you'd better make sure your little lover is well hidden!"

Kitagawa Taki automatically ignored Vermouth's last sentence: Is the King of Part-Time Jobs finally coming?

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up now, I'm taking a bath!"

Kitagawa Taki said, "I know about Yukiko."

Vermouth paused noticeably for a moment, then laughed and said, "It seems Yukiko is quite anxious."

Then he asked, "So, how are you going to thank me?"

Kitagawa Taki said, "I really do have something good for you. Let's do it in a while!"

"Then I'll be waiting. By the way, are you interested in that woman, Mary Akai? I can help you with that."
