in the afternoon.

in the car.

Mira checked the time and said, "It's past five o'clock now, shouldn't Xiaolan be home by now?"

Kitagawa Taki asked, "What, are you going to see her?"

Mira nodded: "Yes, it's been a long time."

"Row."

Kitagawa Taki started the car and drove towards Beika Town.

Mira suddenly asked out of the blue, "Is she also your woman?"

Kitagawa Taki turned and glanced at Mira.

"As expected, I knew it was you!" Mira sneered.

Kitagawa Taki was taken aback. He hadn't said anything, had he? How could Mira be so certain?

Mira turned her head and stared at Kitagawa Taki's face. The next second, she leaned in and whispered in Kitagawa Taki's ear, "Want to come together?"

"Cough cough cough."

What kind of insolent and lewd words are these?

Kitagawa Taki admitted he was tempted, but still said, "Mira, stop messing around, I'm driving!"

Mira glanced at Kitagawa Taki and continued, "If you want, I definitely have no problem with that."

"I can do it today."

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Mira out of the corner of his eye and saw that she looked very serious.

"You really want to?!" Mira glared at Kitagawa Taki.

"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Kitagawa Taki denied it three times.

Mira chuckled, "If you can convince Xiaolan, I'll grant your wish."

"Mira, stop joking."

“I’m not kidding.” Mira crossed her arms and said, “It’s really amazing, don’t you think? Xiaolan and I look so alike, even twin sisters wouldn’t be able to match!”

Mira gave Kitagawa Taki a deep look: "If it's her, I don't mind."

Kitagawa Taki shook his head, wondering what had suddenly triggered Mira's anger.

He felt it wasn't feasible, and Xiaolan herself was incredibly shy.

If that were the case, wouldn't we have to flee Earth overnight?

……

Mouri Detective Agency.

Kitagawa Taki parked his car downstairs at his office building.

"Xiao Lan, does she live here?"

"Yes, the second floor is the office space, and the third floor is the living quarters."

With that, Kitagawa Taki led Mira up to the second floor.

The sound of a television can be faintly heard.

He simply knocked on the door and then opened it himself.

"Taki!"

Ran was still wearing Teitan High School uniform, and it looked like she was cleaning up Kogoro Mouri's mess.

Kogoro Mouri, meanwhile, was fast asleep, slumped over the table.

"Ran, look who's here." Kitagawa Taki stepped aside.

"Xiao Lan!" Mira greeted her warmly.

Xiaolan covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness! No, it's the Queen..."

"Forget about princesses and queens, Xiaolan, just call me Mira!"

Mira stepped forward and took Xiaolan's hand.

Xiaolan was still in shock. She knew Mira had come to Japan, but she never expected Mira to come looking for her.

"Don't you recognize me?" Mila waved her hand in front of Xiaolan.

Xiaolan quickly said, "No, I just didn't expect it..."

“I didn’t expect to come looking for you. I thought we were friends.” Mira sighed.

"No! I..." Xiaolan hurriedly explained.

Kitagawa Taki laughed, "Ran, Mira is just teasing you!"

Mira laughed, "Xiao Lan, you're still so cute!"

"Huh?"

Xiaolan's face slowly turned red.

"We'll still be best friends!"

Mira glanced at Kitagawa Taki without making it obvious.

Xiao Lan didn't notice at all, nor did she think about it in detail; she just felt that being sisters with the Queen was a bit of a fantasy.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri also woke up. He looked up and saw the two Rans, and thought he was still half asleep.

I rubbed my eyes and realized that the two of them were wearing completely different clothes.

He suddenly stood up from his chair, pointed at Mira, but couldn't say a word.

"Hello, Uncle." Mira greeted him politely.

"Queen?" Kogoro Mouri was speechless.

Chapter 327 A Subtle Atmosphere

Beichuan House.

Kitagawa Taki and Mira did not stay at the Mouri Detective Agency for very long.

After spending a few more hours playing with Mila outside, he went home at Mila's insistence.

Miyano Akemi was somewhat surprised to see the two return; she had assumed they would stay out overnight.

"Taki-kun, I'll go and tidy up a room for Mira."

After telling Kitagawa Taki, Miyano Akemi went upstairs.

Mira went to the bathroom.

Kitagawa Taki and Haibara Ai were left in the living room.

A news report is playing on TV—

A car accident occurred in Nishitama City, in which the car plunged off a cliff. The deceased was confirmed to be Eito Yatsushiro, the son-in-law of the Yatsushiro Zaibatsu.

However, neither of them was paying attention to the television.

Ai Haibara glanced in the direction of the bathroom and said, "Don't you two ever go out for some alone time?"

"What?" Kitagawa Taki pretended not to hear.

Ai Haibara gave a soft snort, then got up and went upstairs.

Kitagawa Taki shook his head; he didn't know why Mira insisted on going home.

"Where are they?" Mira came out of the bathroom and only saw Kitagawa Taki there.

Kitagawa Taki replied, "I'm going upstairs. I'll prepare a room for you."

Mira nodded and sat down next to Kitagawa Taki.

"What time are you going back to the hotel tomorrow morning?" Kitagawa Taki asked.

Mira thought for a moment and said, "Let's go early, I still need to put on makeup and stuff."

Seeing that Kitagawa Taki wasn't in high spirits, Mira whispered in his ear, "We'll go out again for the next few nights..."

The room that Akemi Miyano tidied up for Mira was right next to Ai Haibara's room.

Because they had to get up early, they all went to bed quite early.

Akemi Miyano's room.

Wearing pajamas and holding a book, Ai Haibara opened the door.

Akemi Miyano was applying a face mask when she saw her younger sister enter the room. She asked, "Ai, what's wrong?"

Ai Haibara said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. I'll sleep with you, sister, tonight."

Akemi Miyano raised an eyebrow. Apart from when the two sisters first met, Ai Haibara rarely slept with her, after all, she wasn't really a child.

Ai Haibara silently climbed into bed, leaned against the headboard, and opened a book to read.

Akemi Miyano didn't say anything and continued applying her face mask, but she kept an eye on Ai Haibara's every move.

A few minutes later, she got up and sat down next to Ai Haibara, and said softly, "Are you still thinking about Taki and Mira?"

During those few minutes, Ai Haibara didn't turn a single page of the book in her hand, clearly preoccupied with something else and unable to concentrate.

When Ai Haibara realized that her sister had seen through her thoughts, she closed the book and said, "She definitely won't stay quietly in her room."

After returning to her room, she thought about it more and more and felt that although Mira and Ran Mouri looked the same, their personalities were very different.

Mira is definitely not a peaceful person!

Akemi Miyano's expression was strange. "No way?"
