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

Yoko Okino readily agreed: "Okay, then I'll have Mr. Yamagishi look for it for me in the next couple of days."

Just as Kitagawa Taki was about to speak, he heard his phone beep; it was the phone that contacted the Mud Ginseng Association.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Hojo Hitomi; she had already dealt with Kusaka Hiroshige.

Attached is a tragic photo of Hirose Kusaka.

To evade police capture, this guy not only hid in the countryside, but also dyed his hair and changed his hairstyle.

Kitagawa Taki edited a message and sent it to Akiyoshi Minamiko, telling her that the matter had been resolved.

Minako Akiyoshi is already looking for a suitable storefront to open a coffee shop.

Seeing Kitagawa Taki switching between two phones, Okino Yoko asked with a smile, "Taki, do you also have one phone for work and one for personal life?"

"Yes."

Mud ginseng gatherings are a side job, but also part of my work.

Because he often turns down commissions, he now earns more from his side hustle than from his main job.

There's no way around it; with so many women around, he has to spend time with them all.

Fortunately, everyone has their own things to do, otherwise even if he were a time management master, he would be overwhelmed.

We've arrived!

With that, Yoko Okino drove her car into an underground parking lot.

……

18th floor.

Upon entering the house, Kitagawa Taki glanced around.

Although she moved, Yoko Okino's home remained as simple as before, without any extravagant style.

"Taki, please sit down first. I'll go make you some hangover soup."

Yoko Okino put down her bag and let Taki Kitagawa sit down wherever he pleased.

Kitagawa Taki stepped forward and put his arm around Okino Yoko's slender waist, laughing, "You really want to do it?"

Yoko Okino's face was burning hot. She had already mentally prepared herself as she drove her car home.

But when the time came, she couldn't help feeling nervous and apprehensive.

"I...I'm going to take a shower..." She pried Kitagawa Taki's hand away.

"Wait a minute," Kitagawa Taki called out to her, "Yoko, do you have any costumes at home?"

He has watched quite a few of Yoko Okino's dramas in his spare time.

"Oh? Yes, there are."

Yoko Okino didn't understand why Taki Kitagawa was suddenly asking this.

Kitagawa Taki pulled Okino Yoko up: "Take me to see."

Yoko Okino led Taki Kitagawa into the dressing room, opened a wardrobe, and found that the inner room was filled with her costumes.

Kitagawa Taki immediately took a liking to a floral kimono. He recognized it as the costume from Yoko Okino's debut film.

He took out the kimono and handed it to Yoko Okino: "This is nice, it has a very girlish feel."

Yoko Okino understood immediately, grabbed the clothes, and ran outside.

Kitagawa Taki, however, pulled Okino Yoko back and whispered in her burning ear, "Don't wear anything underneath."

Traditionally, it wasn't worn, but now it's almost always worn.

After picking up her wooden clogs and tabi socks, Yoko Okino fled the dressing room as if she were escaping.

……

While waiting for Yoko Okino, Taki Kitagawa took a shower and then went to the living room to rewatch her debut film.

In the movie, Yoko Okino plays the second female lead, Reiko.

Yoko Okino only came out of the bathroom halfway through watching it.

She not only changed into the whole outfit, but also restored her hairstyle, only the color was different.

Seeing Kitagawa Taki watching that movie, Okino Yoko became even more embarrassed.

"Come on, Reiko-chan, sit down!"

Kitagawa Taki patted his leg.

……

Yoko Okino is holding Taki Kitagawa.

The kimono was tossed aside, and considering its significance as a memorial to Yoko Okino, Taki Kitagawa was very gentle and didn't tear it.

Yoko Okino blinked and asked softly, "Taki, what did Terumi say to you this afternoon?"

Kitagawa Taki smiled. "I thought you wouldn't ask."

"Actually, they didn't say anything specific, just things related to reasoning."

"Oh..." Yoko Okino nodded slightly.

What she didn't say was that she felt the person Hoshino Terumi was talking about was Kitagawa Taki, because Hoshino Terumi usually didn't mince words with men.

In addition, Hoshino Terumi said that she was interested in detective dramas because of that person, so she made a reasonable guess.

Let's figure it out first...

Yoko Okino thought to herself.

……

Let's rewind to the afternoon.

The Kuroba family.

Kaito Kuroba looked at Chikage Kuroba carrying large bags and said speechlessly, "Miss Chikage, did you go shopping at the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Chikage Kuroba told Kaito Kuroba that she had gone to the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate.

Today, instead of going straight back to Ekoda, she went shopping with the Miyano sisters.

"You brat, your mom's out there risking her life for you, and you're making fun of me!"

Chikage Kuroba tossed a shopping bag into Kaito Kuroba's arms.

Kaito Kuroba quickly reached out and caught it, muttering, "I said I'd go, but you wouldn't let me."

"Hmm?" Kuroba Chikage glared at Kuroba Kaito.

Kaito Kuroba usually doesn't even fire his guns when dealing with police officers, but the people in the National Police Agency are different.

If it weren't for the talisman given to her by Kitagawa Taki, she would have died there.

"Go, get me a glass of water!"

Kuroba Chikage sat down on the sofa.

Kaito Kuroba put down the shopping bag and obediently poured a glass of water for Chikage Kuroba.

"Here, take this. Keep it safe and carry it with you at all times, except when you're taking a shower!"

Kuroba Chikage gave half of the golden light talisman that Kitagawa Taki had given her to Kuroba Kaito.

She was too embarrassed to ask Kitagawa Taki for more, because she felt that Kitagawa Taki probably didn't have much of this kind of amazing stuff either.

"What is this?" Kaito Kuroba took the talisman and asked, looking at the intricate patterns on it.

"Just bring the talisman with you."

Kuroba Chikage didn't reveal the function of the Golden Light Talisman, lest Kuroba Kaito find out and use it to go around recklessly.

Kaito Kuroba guessed, "You got it from that guy Kitagawa Taki?"

Kuroba Chikage frowned: "Why are you asking so many questions?"

He confirmed his guess: "Can't I just ask? Why don't I get the same treatment?"

Although Kaito Kuroba didn't know what this thing was for, judging from Chikage Kuroba's attitude, he knew it must be something good.

"Why do you talk so much, kid!"

Kuroba Chikage harbored a suspicion she was unwilling to acknowledge.

"I……"

Kaito Kuroba was on the verge of tears.

P.S.: The next chapter will be a little late.

Chapter 354 Yui Uehara

this day.

Kitagawa Taki drove Ran, Kogoro Mouri, and Conan to a rural area in Nagano Prefecture.

The reason was that Kogoro Mouri received a letter of request, so he also invited Taki Kitagawa to join him.

Holding up a photograph, Kogoro Mouri stated his conclusion: "He suffered severe head injuries, multiple fractures throughout his body, and died from excessive blood loss. Was he killed by falling from a height?"

Torada Naonobu, the head of the Torada family, said in a deep voice, "My son Yoshiro was murdered by a vengeful demon who harbored hatred towards our Torada family!"

“Uh…” Kogoro Mouri glanced at Taki Kitagawa, then asked, “Is it possible that he was pushed down from a height?”

Let's just call this "evil spirit" for now! After all, they hired him as a detective.

“No,” Naonobu Torada shook his head. “It was a tornado!”

Kitagawa Taki and Kogoro Mouri exchanged bewildered glances.

Naonobu Torada explained, "My son was caught in a tornado, was lifted into the air, and then fell onto a rock."

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Mr. Torada, if that's what you're saying, shouldn't it be an accident?"

Naonobu Torada said earnestly, "No, Mr. Kitagawa, Mr. Mori, look closely, isn't there something in the blood in the photo?"
