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

Although she had given up the idea of ​​dying, she really didn't know what to do next.

Kitagawa Taki said softly, "Come to Tokyo with me!"

Yui Uehara looked up into Taki Kitagawa's eyes without saying a word.

“Come with me to Tokyo!” Kitagawa Taki repeated.

"Mmm!" Uehara Yui nodded vigorously, then buried her head in Kitagawa Taki's chest.

Do you still want to be a police officer?

Yui Uehara was stunned. Could she... still continue working as a police officer?

Kitagawa Taki saw through her thoughts and said, "Don't feel guilty because of those four people, and don't let them ruin your life."

Kitagawa Taki then recounted his experiences on Tsukikage Island.

"Yui, do you think I should let Asano Masaru go?"

Uehara Yui fell silent. If it were the old her, she would have said without hesitation that she shouldn't have!

but now……

It wasn't because she herself committed a crime; if it weren't for Kitagawa Taki, she would be dead by now.

It was because they had similar experiences that she could truly understand Asano Minami.

"He ultimately planned to commit suicide by burning himself while playing the piano his father left behind."

Kitagawa Taki revealed the ending of Asano Mihara's original trajectory.

Yui Uehara was startled.

Kitagawa Taki continued, "And now, having left Tsukikage Island, he can continue to be a doctor and save even more people."

Unbeknownst to Yui Uehara, tears were already streaming down her face.

She silently sat up, looked at Kitagawa Taki, and said with a slight sob, "Can you help me?"

Kitagawa Taki didn't say anything, but wiped away her tears, pulled her into his arms, and showed her the answer through his actions.

After a while, Uehara Yui broke free from Kitagawa Taki's embrace and kissed him passionately.

"love me……"

The next day.

Kazuha Toyama, sporting panda eyes, got out of bed yawning.

She not only went to bed late last night, but she also had a dream...

The image of the person from her dream flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but blush.

The dream felt so real, but strangely, she could never see his face clearly.

"Kazuha, you're awake!"

The door opened, and there was Xiaolan.

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up."

Kazuha Toyama picked up her phone and saw that it was already nine o'clock.

She sniffed, feeling like she might have caught a cold.

Ran noticed Kazuha's panda eyes and movements, and couldn't help but ask, "Kazuha, you don't look like you've had enough rest? And you seem to have caught a cold?"

Kazuha Toyama opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Xiaolan, however, started imagining things. She covered her mouth, embarrassed, and said, "I... I probably don't snore, right?"

Yuanshan and Ye were both amused and exasperated.

"Xiaolan, you don't snore. I... I just have insomnia."

She sighed inwardly, but still didn't tell the truth.

Ran patted her chest and then asked, "Do you sometimes have insomnia, Kazuha?"

"No, I only do it occasionally." Yuanshan and Ye waved their hands. She saw the place from last night and started to let her imagination run wild again.

She quickly looked away and casually asked, "By the way, where's Kitagawa?"

"Taki and the others are cooperating with Officer Yamato in the investigation."

Ran found it a bit strange; why would Kazuha ask Taki?

Shouldn't we ask Hattori?

Kazuha Toyama also realized she shouldn't have asked Taki Kitagawa, and tried to make amends by asking, "Is Heiji here too?"

"Yes, I am." Xiaolan felt that He Ye was acting strangely today, but she didn't think about it too much and said:

"Hey, I've left your breakfast warm in the kitchen. Get up and eat! I'll go with you to see the village doctor later!"

Kazuha felt a warmth in her heart. "Thank you, Ran!"

……

Reception room.

Kazuha Toyama served breakfast to Ran.

When Hattori Heiji saw that Toyama Kazuha had finally gotten up, he immediately teased, "Kazuha, are you a pig? How can you sleep so much?"

Kazuha Toyama's lips twitched, and she glared fiercely at Heiji Hattori.

She had originally planned to sit next to Hattori Heiji.

Then, she simply sat down next to Kitagawa Taki across from her.

Xiaolan shook her head helplessly and sat down next to Yuanshan and Ye.

Ran thought it was normal for Kazuha to be angry, since she had insomnia, not that she was lying in bed, and she was sick. It was just that Heiji Hattori said that in front of so many people.

But in reality, Kazuha Toyama wasn't angry at all; she was already used to Heiji Hattori's sharp tongue.

She was just pretending to be angry to cover it up.

As Toyama Kazuha listened to the conversation, he took small bites of food.

Her gaze occasionally drifted towards Kitagawa Taki beside her.

Kitagawa Taki seemed to sense something and turned to look at Toyama Kazuha.

They met eyes directly in the distance, just as Yuanshan and Ye were gazing at each other.

Kitagawa Taki gave a meaningful smile.

Yuanshan Kazuha felt a pang of panic when she saw him and swallowed a large mouthful of food.

"Cough cough cough-"

She choked.

"Kazuha, are you alright?"

Xiao Lan quickly patted Yuanshan and Ye on the back.

"N-nothing."

Hattori Heiji turned his head and shook his head, wondering what Toyama Kazuha was up to.

Kazuha Toyama was savoring Kitagawa Taki's smile and look from just now.

what does that mean?

She felt like Kitagawa Taki had seen right through her, but... that shouldn't be the case!

She didn't make any strange noises, did she?

Kazuha Toyama looked embarrassed; she didn't remember...

Could it be that Kitagawa Taki overheard it?

At that moment, she suddenly regretted sitting down; she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She was still hesitant about whether to tell Xiaolan the truth, but now she suddenly lost her courage.

She didn't dare to anymore.

What should she do if Kitagawa Taki exposes what she did? How will she face Ran?

Xiaolan, I'm sorry...

Yamato Kansuke's questioning ended.

Ran wanted Uehara Yui to take them to the village doctor, but Uehara Yui was called aside by Yamato Kansuke.

"Uehara, once this is completely over, you'll be reporting back to the police station!"

After saying that, Yamato Kansuke turned and left.

Uehara Yui stopped Yamato Kansuke and said in a deep voice, "I will not go back."

The old Uehara Yui is dead...

"Hmm?" Yamato Kansuke stopped and turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping over Uehara Yui. "Are you going to live like this for the rest of your life?"

Uehara Yui met Yamato Kansuke's gaze and said, "I will leave this place."

"That's settled then."

Yamato Kansuke stared for two seconds, then turned around, waved, and left.

Uehara Yui sighed silently. Ever since she left Torada Yoshiro to die, she and Yamato Kansuke had become strangers.

She turned and walked toward the reception room, and after a few steps she bumped into Xiaolan.

"Mrs. Yui, could you please do me a favor?"
