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

Kitagawa Taki's lips twitched, and he hung up the phone immediately.

What does this woman take him for? Is he that kind of person?

……

Kitagawa Taki relayed Vermouth's words to the two sisters.

"I didn't expect even Gin to go. It's really not easy for Aunt Mary to escape alive."

Akemi Miyano knew that Gin was quite cautious in his actions.

Kitagawa Taki didn't mention that Bourbon might take over Vermouth's mission.

Telling them would only cause the two sisters more trouble; he can handle it when the time comes.

Kitagawa Taki said, "By the way, the house is almost ready, it should be ready in the next couple of days."

Akemi Miyano exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"

Kitagawa Taki nodded: "It's mainly the basement renovation. The workers told me that it's almost finished."

"Thank you."

Ai Haibara knew that the basement was a laboratory specially prepared for her.

"Don't mention it!"

Kitagawa Taki ruffled Haibara Ai's hair.

She neither dodged nor knocked away Kitagawa Taki's hand; she simply rolled her eyes at him.

……

The next afternoon.

Kitagawa Taki was invited out by Fujimine Yukiko.

He spent the afternoon with Yukiko Fujimine, just like an ordinary couple.

In the restaurant.

The two were waiting for their meal.

Yukiko Fujimine whispered, "Taki, let's go do something exciting tonight!"

"Speeding, or..." Kitagawa Taki smiled maliciously.

Yukiko Fujimine blushed: "You'll find out when the time comes."

“By the way, Taki, there’s something…” Fujimine Yukiko stopped herself from saying it.

She wanted to ask for Shinichi Kudo, but suddenly became afraid that Taki Kitagawa would misunderstand.

Seeing that Fujimine Yukiko seemed a little embarrassed, Kitagawa Taki comforted her, "It's okay, Yukiko, go ahead and say it!"

"It's about that Black Organization." After saying that, Fujimine Yukiko explained, "Don't get me wrong, I just noticed that Shinichi seems a bit obsessed with it, so I..."

Conan is now paranoid and suspicious of everything, even investigating every man in black he sees on the street.

"It's alright." Kitagawa Taki said, somewhat amused, "That organization has recently set its sights on Kaito Kid!"

"Phantom Thief Kid..."

Yukiko Fujimine murmured to herself, asking no further questions.

Just then, the meal was served, and the two naturally skipped over the previous topic.

……

It was already evening after the meal, so the two of them continued to stroll around outside for a while to digest their food.

Upon reaching the parking lot, Fujimine Yukiko held out her hand and said, "Taki, give me your car keys!"

Kitagawa Taki handed her the key, feeling quite curious about what kind of excitement Fujimine Yukiko was going to bring.

After the two got into the car, Fujimine Yukiko drove Kitagawa Taki towards the edge of the city.

Kitagawa Taki vaguely guessed the destination.

As expected, Fujimine Yukiko parked the car in a deserted spot in the suburbs.

The thought of what she was about to do filled Fujimine Yukiko with excitement.

With a rosy complexion, Fujimine Yukiko turned her head and stared intently at Kitagawa Taki.

……

The car stereo started playing music: "Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, all the way to grandma's bridge..."

Chapter 294 Chicken Rib, Chicken Rib

inside the car.

"Taki, do you think I might win the lottery?" Fujimine Yukiko's voice sounded somewhat weak.

"How could it be so easy? Besides, isn't this a safe time for you?"

Miyano Akemi has been around for so long, and there's still no sign of her!

"What if?" Fujimine Yukiko said worriedly, "What if it really works?"

It wasn't that she was unwilling; she was just worried that Shinichi Kudo wouldn't be able to accept it, and also about the stares of other acquaintances around them, especially Ran and Eri Kisaki.

Eri Kisaki definitely knows about Taki Kitagawa and Ran.

If Eri Kisaki found out that she was with Taki Kitagawa, where would she put her face?!

Kitagawa Taki noticed her worry and comforted her, "Then let's find a place to have the baby quietly."

Yukiko Fujimine nodded, stopping her wild thoughts.

The two lingered for a while longer before cleaning the car and going home.

……

Fujimine's family.

Conan leaned back on the sofa, watching TV with a bored expression, feeling like a lonely man.

Fujimine Yukiko disappeared after noon and it's past 11 p.m. now.

He lived alone in the huge house.

I can't contact my old friends.

As for the three boys, their age difference is obvious.

Only Hattori Heiji knew his situation and could chat with him without pretending.

The sound of the door opening pulled Conan out of his thoughts. He saw Fujimine Yukiko looking radiant and humming a little tune, carrying large and small bags. It was obvious that she had gone shopping with that Chris.

"Shinichi, you're still awake!" Fujimine Yukiko put down her things and continued, "I have some news to tell you."

"What news?" Conan sat up.

Yukiko Fujimine said, "I heard that organization has recently set its sights on Kaito Kid!"

Conan jumped off the sofa in surprise, exclaiming, "You went to see Kitagawa Taki?"

Yesterday he told Professor Agasa that he didn't need to ask Kitagawa Taki for help, but today his mother went to find out more information.

"Yes, otherwise where would the news come from?"

Yukiko Fujimine nodded frankly; in fact, she hoped that Conan could get along well with Taki Kitagawa.

Putting aside her relationship with Kitagawa Taki, just considering how to deal with the Black Organization, wouldn't cooperating with Kitagawa Taki be a better option?

"Mom, you... I already said I didn't need it..."

Before Conan could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that what he said might not have been appropriate.

Sure enough, when I looked up, the smile on Fujimine Yukiko's face had disappeared.

"Shinichi, are you blaming me? I only asked because you're always so suspicious."

She had heard Conan say that he had asked Kitagawa Taki, but Kitagawa Taki hadn't said anything.

She finally mustered the courage to ask today.

And this brat actually wanted to complain about her?

Seeing this, Conan quickly tried to cover it up: "Hey, Mom, that's not what I meant, I just..."

However, Yukiko Fujimine had already picked up her things and gone upstairs without looking back.

The only sound in the living room was the blaring of the television.

Conan wanted to slap himself, but of course, he only thought about it.

"I'll have to apologize to my mom properly tomorrow..."

He muttered something as he sat back down on the sofa, turned off the annoying TV, and pondered the news that Fujimine Yukiko had brought back.

No wonder we haven't seen that show-off Kaito Kid make a move for so long; it turns out he's been targeted by the Black Organization.

But how did Kitagawa Taki find out about the Black Organization's recent movements?

After much thought, Conan concluded that there were two possibilities.

Either Kitagawa Taki has an informant in that organization, or he found out from Kaito Kid.

Thinking about this, Conan felt a headache coming on. This news was like a chicken rib to him—tasteless to eat, but still somewhat useful to discard.

Although he didn't know why he suddenly developed some feelings for Kidd, he was now determined to catch the guy himself.

Are we going to cooperate with that guy?

But if Kid doesn't show himself, he can't find that guy at all!

He didn't know the guy's true identity.

The situation remains deadlocked.

……

The next day.
