Yui Uehara smiled and said, "Of course you can. Just call me by my name, either Uehara or Yui."
She could tell that the girl and Kitagawa Taki were close.
"Uehara?" Ran couldn't help but ask, "Is that Yui... your real name, sister?"
“Yes, I’ll be leaving this village in a few days, so we might see each other often afterward.” Uehara Yui said something Ran couldn’t understand, then asked, “Miss Ran, what about the matter you mentioned that you need my help with?”
"Sister Yui, you can just call me Xiaolan. Here's the thing, Kazuha has a bit of a cold, so I'd like to ask you to take us to see the village doctor," Xiaolan explained.
“No problem,” Uehara Yui agreed.
"Then I'll go call Kazuha, Yui-nee, wait for me."
……
"Xiaolan, did you find out the village doctor's address?"
Yuanshan and Ye felt a little dizzy.
Xiao Lan said, "I asked Sister Youyi to take us there."
"Sister Yui?"
"It's Mrs. Torada!"
Upon hearing this address, Toyama Kazuha's expression changed, and he became more alert.
"Kazuha, are you feeling unwell?" Ran noticed Kazuha's pale face and assumed she was suffering from a cold.
"Ah, no." Kazuha Toyama waved her hand with a smile, then casually asked, "Ran, why do you call her Yui-nee?"
She had already imagined a scenario in her mind where the mistress confronted the wife.
"Oh, this?" Xiaolan said casually without thinking much about it, "Sister Youyi told me to call her by her name directly, but I didn't feel comfortable with that, so I just called her that."
Yuanshan and Ye breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Did she say anything strange?"
"Hmm~" Xiaolan said, "She said she would leave here, and that we would see each other often in the future."
"I knew it!" Toyama Kazuha felt that she had discovered the truth.
"What do you know? Kazuha, why are you so concerned about Yui-nee's affairs?"
Xiaolan felt that Yuanshan and Ye had suddenly become strange overnight.
“Uh…” Toyama Kazuha hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand awkwardly, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”
But in his heart, he was thinking about how to remind Ran to be careful of Uehara Yui.
Before they knew it, the two had arrived in front of Uehara Yui.
"Ran, you're here." Uehara Yui greeted the two.
Xiao Lan responded enthusiastically.
Kazuha Toyama looked at Yui Uehara with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.
Uehara Yui immediately noticed Toyama Kazuha's hostility and wondered if she had offended Toyama Kazuha.
She glanced at Toyama Kazuha, who had dark circles under her eyes: "Miss Toyama, didn't you get enough rest last night?"
Kazuha Toyama's lips twitched slightly. She hadn't rested well, all thanks to those two people, but she still replied, "I'm fine."
Uehara Yui suddenly realized that Toyama and Ye Mingming had been very polite yesterday, but today they had changed completely. It was obvious where the problem lay.
They probably caught her and Kitagawa Taki in the act.
She recalled Kitagawa Taki's strange behavior last night, and glanced at the beautiful Toyama Kazuha. Could it be that Kitagawa Taki did it on purpose?
Thinking of this, Uehara Yui felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. Although she was not young, she was still a young woman getting married.
That man is so wicked! He's always wanting more than he has!
Along the way, the two were preoccupied with their own thoughts, while Xiaolan remained completely unaware.
……
Back at the Torada family home.
Ran finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Kazuha, did something happen between you and Yui-nee?"
Although she didn't know exactly what was going on, she could read the air.
"Uh... there's nothing between her and me, but Xiaolan, you should be careful of her. She's not as she seems on the surface..."
Kazuha Toyama remembered the voice from last night.
Xiao Lan asked in confusion, "Isn't Sister Youyi doing just fine?"
"Oh, it's just intuition! Intuition!" Kazuha Toyama forced an explanation.
"Oh, by the way," she said, then asked, "Xiaolan, can I come to your house for a couple of days?"
"Okay!" Ran immediately agreed, then added, "But Kazuha, aren't you going with Hattori?"
Kazuha Toyama pouted, "If he's going to solve the case, he'll just leave me alone at the Torada house again."
However, she quickly composed herself: "I'll go tell him!"
……
When Kazuha Toyama found Heiji Hattori, he was talking to Conan.
"Don't worry, I'll let you know if there's any progress!"
Heiji Hattori chuckled and patted Conan's head.
Conan rolled his eyes and slapped away the gloating Heiji Hattori's hand.
"Heiji!"
"Kazuha, what brings you here?"
"I wanted to tell you that I'm going back to Tokyo with Ran."
"Aren't you coming with me?" Hattori Heiji asked, but before Toyama Kazuha could speak, he continued, "You're going to Ran's place, right? Do you need me to pick you up when you get back?"
Kazuha Toyama was initially quite pleased to hear Hattori Heiji's first sentence, but his next sentence made her face fall.
"You don't need to pick me up, I'll take a car home by myself!"
She gave a soft snort and walked away.
Heiji Hattori scratched his head, puzzled as to what was wrong with Kazuha Toyama all of a sudden.
Now it was Conan's turn to gloat.
……
Yui Uehara's room.
"After you've taken care of things here these next few days, come to Tokyo to see me!"
Kitagawa Taki warned, "Also, Hattori Heiji hasn't given up yet, so be careful."
"I understand." Uehara Yui nodded, biting her lip as she said, "Toyama Kazuha seems to know about us."
Kitagawa Taki asked with a smile, "She probably didn't tell Ran, did she?"
"You really did it on purpose last night!"
Seeing Kitagawa Taki's reaction, Uehara Yui confirmed her suspicions.
"How embarrassing!" Uehara Yui patted her burning cheeks.
"It's nothing." Kitagawa Taki said with a slight smile, "Do you know what she was doing last night?"
"What are you doing?" Uehara Yui asked, looking up.
"Just a wall away, we generate our own electricity." Kitagawa Taki whispered in her ear, "Doesn't it feel less embarrassing now?"
Uehara Yui rolled her eyes at Kitagawa Taki and said, "She likes Hattori Heiji, doesn't she?"
Kitagawa Taki said in a serious tone, "There is no corner that cannot be dug down, only a hoe that cannot be swung."
……
In the car.
Kitagawa Taki looked at Toyama Kazuha sitting in the back and asked, "Kazuha, are you feeling alright?"
Kazuha Toyama feigned composure: "It's alright, I just have a bit of a cold."
Kitagawa Taki nodded and said, "That's good. I heard your voice last night and thought you were in a lot of pain."
"Huh? I didn't hear anything. Was I sleeping that soundly?" Xiaolan was a little surprised and embarrassed.
Kazuha Toyama lowered his head, gripping his pants tightly with his hands.
Kitagawa did hear it!
dying!
Kazuha Toyama now wished he could open the car door and jump out.
Kitagawa Taki casually remarked, "Maybe it's because I have a better hearing."
"Kazuha, if you feel unwell in the future, just wake me up."
Hearing Ran's words, Toyama Kazuha was both touched and ashamed.

new York.
After returning to Tokyo, Kitagawa Taki accompanied Sonoko to the United States that very night.
Suzuki Jirokichi was also with them.
All for an auction.
After the preceding items had generated some buzz, the auction had clearly reached its climax.
"The next item to be auctioned is the absolute highlight of this auction. It is a world-famous painting, a priceless treasure of mankind. It was once thought to have been destroyed in the war."
After a pause, the auctioneer announced loudly, "It is Vincent van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'!"
