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

Fujimine Yukiko affectionately held Okino Yoko's hand and asked, "Yoko, how long have you known Taki?"

Although Yoko Okino didn't know why Yukiko Fujimine asked this, she honestly replied, "I've known Taki for a while now."

Fujimine Yukiko glanced at Kitagawa Taki; she had never seen Okino Yoko near Kitagawa Taki before.

My idol! Why do you answer every question so directly?!

Kitagawa Taki shook his head, seeing that Okino Yoko was completely under Fujimine Yukiko's control.

Just like how Yukiko Fujimine was manipulated by Vermouth.

Is this a case of big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp?

Fujimine Yukiko quickly and easily found out everything about Okino Yoko.

Yoko Okino told everything except about the misunderstanding between her and Taki Kitagawa.

Vermouth, sitting opposite, watched the spectacle with great interest, occasionally casting a mocking glance at Kitagawa Taki.

Rena Mizunashi stirred her coffee, seemingly oblivious to everything.

"Ms. Mizunashi, are you still doing a program about tracking Kaito Kid?" Kitagawa Taki suddenly asked.

Rena Mizunashi paused for a moment, then said, "Not recently. Come to think of it, that Phantom Thief Kid hasn't shown up for a while."

“That’s true.” Kitagawa Taki said casually, “This guy is probably preparing some big move again.”

"Oh, right." Yoko Okino suddenly remembered something and looked at Rena Mizunashi, saying, "Rena, didn't you run into some trouble? Why don't you tell me? Taki will definitely solve it for you easily."

"Huh? This isn't appropriate, is it? It feels like a prank," Rena Mizunashi said hesitantly.

"I don't think this is a simple prank!" Yoko Okino warned. "Rena, you'd better take this seriously!"

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Is Ms. Mizunashi in some kind of trouble?"

Rena Mizunashi slowly said, "Here's what happened: someone keeps ringing my doorbell and running away, and it always happens on Saturday mornings."

Last week, I was determined to catch him, so I waited behind the door. As soon as the doorbell rang, I opened the door immediately, but didn't see anyone in the hallway.

Fujimine Yukiko became interested and guessed, "Could it be a ghost or something?"

Rena Mizunashi forced a smile and said, "I'm even a little scared to open the door now."

Kitagawa Taki vaguely remembered this incident; he recalled it being part of the main storyline and apparently being done by a child.

But why would Rena Mizunashi be afraid of this? Why doesn't he believe it?

"Don't worry, no ghost would do such a thing," Kitagawa Taki said.

Yukiko Fujimine, stroking her chin, transforms into a female detective:

"Then it could be the work of a stalker. After all, Ms. Mizunashi, you're a TV presenter, you appear on TV frequently, and you're so beautiful!"

Yoko Okino nodded. "What Yukiko-neechan said makes sense."

After their conversation, Fujimine Yukiko successfully got Okino Yoko to change how she addressed her.

Kitagawa Taki offered, "How about this, Ms. Mizunashi, are you free tomorrow? If you are, I'll go and take a look for you."

"I can do it tomorrow," Rena Mizunashi said shyly. "But wouldn't that be too much trouble for Mr. Kitagawa?"

"It's alright, we're all friends!" Kitagawa Taki said with a smile.

This was also an opportunity for Kitagawa Taki to get to know Mizunashi Rena, so he naturally wouldn't pass it up.

"Mr. Kitagawa, let's exchange contact information so we can stay in touch."

Rena Mizunashi took out her phone.

Chapter 313 I'm getting more and more interested in you!

Fujimine's family.

Conan, who was home alone, was staring at the information on the Koji Haneda case on his computer.

hum~

The phone vibrated.

Conan answered the phone, "Hello."

"Shinichi, it's me."

Kudo Yusaku's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Dad!"

"Is there any progress in the investigation of the Black Organization?" Conan asked eagerly.

"Yes, I found an old case related to that organization."

"An old case?"

"Seventeen years ago..."

Conan interrupted: "The Haneda Koji case?"

Yusaku Kudo asked, "Shinichi, you found out? From Taki Kitagawa?"

Conan did not deny it, and he also suspected that Kid learned it from Kitagawa Taki.

"What do you know?"

All we know is that it was done by Rum, the organization's second-in-command.

"Rum? Any specific information?"

"No, I'm currently looking at information related to the Haneda Koji case."

“Then you can keep an eye on ‘PTON’. That mirror was a popular pocket mirror back then. The full name is ‘PUT ON MASCARA’.”

“PTON…” Conan swipes the mouse up to adjust the page to the corresponding photo.

"Okay, Dad, I'll take a look first and then contact you!"

……

coffee shop.

After exchanging contact information and chatting for a while, Yoko Okino and Rena Mizunashi left together.

"Taki, Yoko really likes you!"

Yukiko Fujimine looked completely unfazed.

"Huh, really?" Kitagawa Taki pretended not to know.

"Yes, her eyes practically light up when she talks about you, and she keeps glancing at you!"

As she spoke, Yukiko Fujimine even put on a short performance.

It's safe to say he was once a superstar; his acting skills are top-notch.

She portrayed the lovelorn yet shy demeanor vividly.

"Pfft~"

Vermouth was amused by Yukiko Fujimine.

"Chris, stop laughing. Tell me if you've said anything, or not?" Fujimine Yukiko pouted and asked, dissatisfied.

Vermouth smiled slightly and nodded seriously: "Yes, absolutely."

Fujimine Yukiko suddenly sighed and said, "She's a popular idol star, and I'm just a has-been star. How can I compare to her?"

"There's no comparison, Yukiko, you are one of a kind."

Kitagawa Taki grasped Fujimine Yukiko's hand. He could tell that Fujimine Yukiko didn't really care about Okino Yoko's matter.

As expected, just one sentence was enough to make Fujimine Yukiko beam with joy.

"Tsk~" Vermouth glanced at her phone and said, "I won't disturb your flirting. I'm leaving now."

"Chris, is something wrong?" Yukiko Fujimine noticed Vermouth's actions and asked with concern.

Vermouth nodded, then stood up and gestured for Kitagawa Taki to come closer.

Kitagawa Taki leaned forward a little.

Vermouth leaned down and whispered in Kitagawa Taki's ear, "Be careful of that Mizunashi Rena."

"Hey, Chris, what are you whispering about?"

Yukiko Fujimine forcibly separated the two people who were about to stick together.

"Hahaha!"

Vermouth left with a hearty laugh.

"That Chris, she definitely did it on purpose!" Fujimine Yukiko said angrily, arms crossed.

Then, she glanced at Kitagawa Taki and asked, "Is he as good-looking as me?"

"What?" Kitagawa Taki could only pretend he didn't understand. Could he say they were evenly matched?

He almost experienced the effects of Vermouth facial cleanser just now.

Fujimine Yukiko gave a soft hum and took Kitagawa Taki's hand. "Come on, let's go shopping!"

……

Nichiri TV.

PARKING LOT.

Vermouth found Rena Mizunashi's car, a Citroën BX19 GT.

She opened the passenger door and got in.

"Vermouth, what do you want?"

Rena Mizunashi glanced at Vermouth before looking away.

Her voice was completely different from when she was in the coffee shop.

Vermouth didn't answer immediately, but instead lit a cigarette for herself.
