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

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, the phone rang, breaking the silence in the office.

Eri Kisaki, as if grasping at a lifeline, quickly answered the phone, adjusting her tone: "Hello..."

Kitagawa Taki knew that this was the end of the day, so he sat back down in his previous seat.

After finishing the phone call, Eri Kisaki transformed back into the strong woman she always was, looking even more radiant than before.

Kitagawa Taki said, "Let's call it a day then. I won't bother you any longer. I'll give you another massage next time I have time."

Eri Kisaki wanted to refuse, but when she met Taki Kitagawa's sincere gaze, she swallowed her words and simply nodded slightly.

She definitely didn't become addicted to the comfortable feeling just because Kitagawa Taki massaged her so well!

"Goodbye." Kitagawa Taki said without any hesitation, getting up to take his leave.

"Goodbye."

Watching Kitagawa Taki leave the office, Eri stretched. After being massaged by Kitagawa Taki, she felt refreshed and her fatigue had mostly disappeared.

"As long as you don't press on areas like your lower back, it'll be fine..."

Eri touched her waist and muttered to herself.

……

Seeing Kitagawa Taki come out of the office, Kuriyama Midori greeted him, "Mr. Kitagawa, have you finished talking with the teacher?"

She assumed that Kitagawa Taki had come to talk to Eri Kisaki about something.

Kitagawa Taki nodded. He wasn't in a hurry to leave. He stopped opposite Kuriyama Midori and said with a smile, "Ms. Kuriyama, I don't have your contact information yet!"

"Ah, oh!" Kuriyama Midori was wondering what Kitagawa Taki was doing staying with her, but she was taken aback by Kitagawa Taki's words. She then quickly took out her phone and saved Kitagawa Taki's number.

"Ms. Kuriyama, let's have dinner together after you get off work!"

Kitagawa Taki raised his phone, indicating he would contact him later. He didn't give Kuriyama Midori a chance to refuse and left the office directly.

"Huh??"

Kuriyama Midori blinked her eyes innocently. Kitagawa Taki was inviting her to dinner?

why?

She glanced subconsciously in the direction of the office; that was her only connection to Kitagawa Taki.

……

evening.

As Kuriyama Midori stepped out of the elevator in the basement of the building, she saw Kitagawa Taki waiting there.

She bowed slightly: "Mr. Kitagawa, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Kitagawa Taki casually remarked, "I just arrived too."

The two got into the car together, and Kitagawa Taki asked, "Ms. Kuriyama, what would you like to eat?"

Kuriyama Midori, however, said frankly, "Mr. Kitagawa, you don't need to be so polite. If you want to ask about the teacher, I can tell you anything that I can."

Kitagawa Taki smiled and said, "Who said I was here to ask you about Attorney Ki? I just wanted to have a meal with you."

"what?"

Kuriyama Midori was completely dumbfounded!

What does Mr. Kitagawa mean by this?

Just having a meal with her?

She couldn't help but have some inappropriate thoughts: Could it be that Mr. Kitagawa had feelings for her?

But she immediately overturned her conclusion: Mr. Kitagawa is Ran's boyfriend, it's impossible.

So we're back to square one: why did Mr. Kitagawa invite her to dinner in the first place?

While Kuriyama Midori was lost in thought, Kitagawa Taki had already made his decision.

"Then let's have Western food!"

Kitagawa Taki drove towards a Western restaurant he and Sonoko had visited.

Upon arriving at the restaurant and seeing its upscale decor, Midori Kuriyama couldn't help but feel a little reserved.

Lawyers can earn a good living, but she's just a junior secretary right now, still learning from Eri Kisaki, so naturally she doesn't have many opportunities to come to places like this.

Kitagawa Taki gestured to Kuriyama Midori to look at the menu and order: "What do you want to eat?"

Kuriyama Midori said in a low voice, "Mr. Kitagawa, you can make the decision."

Kitagawa Taki could only order some things that he and Sonoko thought were decent, and also asked for a bottle of mid-range red wine, without deliberately ordering anything fancy.

Kuriyama Midori is like a quail, completely at Kitagawa Taki's mercy.

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Ms. Kuriyama, how long have you been working for Attorney Kiyoshi?"

Kuriyama Midori replied, "It's been two and a half years."

Kitagawa Taki nodded: "That's been quite a while."

“Yes! It feels like time has flown by. I came to the firm right after graduating from university. It’s my luck to be noticed by my mentor!” Kuriyama Midori’s face was full of smiles.

Kitagawa Taki asked with concern, "You must be very busy usually, right?"

"Indeed, as the 'Queen of the Legal World,' the teacher receives countless requests, and she has a court hearing at the Tokyo District Court tomorrow!"

It's clear that Kuriyama Midori greatly admires Eri Kisaki, and as they talked, she gradually opened up and started talking more.

She smiled and said, "Although I'm very busy, I'm also able to learn a lot."

Kitagawa Taki, however, thought of Eri Kisaki's old rival and asked, "What case is it?"

"It's a public prosecution case, quite tricky. No one else dares to take it, and the opponent is none other than Ms. Reiko Kujo, the 'Madonna of the prosecutor's world'!"

Although Kuriyama Midori said it was tricky, it was clear that she had a lot of confidence in Kisaki Eri.

Chapter 388 Sold them all together!

Kuriyama Midori seemed to have no defenses against Kitagawa Taki at all. Over the course of the meal, Kitagawa Taki asked her about her hobbies, residence, and other information.

To his surprise, Kuriyama Midori actually met with [someone], and they became friends.

"Azusa often mentions you, Mr. Kitagawa, to me!"

Because she had drunk some red wine, Kuriyama Midori's face was flushed, clearly indicating that she couldn't hold her liquor very well.

The aftereffects of the red wine kicked in, and her gaze became somewhat hazy.

"Really?" Kitagawa Taki felt that he hadn't been to Polo Cafe much, especially after Miyano Akemi came.

“Of course!” Kuriyama Midori chuckled, then lowered her voice and said, “Mr. Kitagawa, I’ll tell you a secret. Azusa definitely has feelings for you, but you have a girlfriend, so…”

Kitagawa Taki's expression was strange. If he were to let Kitagawa Taki speak, he would be completely taken aback.

He half-jokingly said, "So what if you have a girlfriend? You can also have a wife, a mistress, a baby..."

"Hehe!" Kuriyama Midori chuckled, "Mr. Kitagawa, you're really funny!"

"Just don't let the teacher hear you say that."

She knew that Eri Kisaki hated fickle men the most.

Kitagawa Taki finished his drink and said, "How would she know if we talk about it here?"

"Don't worry!" Kuriyama Midori patted her chest. "I definitely won't tell the teacher!"

Kitagawa Taki nodded, glanced at his phone, and said, "It's getting late, I'll take you home!"

As he spoke, he casually found a designated driver.

Kitagawa Taki helped the intoxicated Kuriyama Midori to the parking lot. After getting into the car, she fell asleep immediately, leaning on Kitagawa Taki's shoulder.

She showed no signs of waking up until we arrived at her apartment building.

After sending the designated driver away, Kitagawa Taki simply carried her out of the car.

Kuriyama Green wore a pair of flesh-colored stockings on her legs, which felt quite nice to the touch.

We arrived at room 602.

Kitagawa Taki rang the doorbell. The man, who was home alone, answered. He looked up and said, "I'm home alone."

"Mr. Kitagawa!" A voice cried out, "What's wrong with Midori?"

She had actually already smelled the alcohol.

"She doesn't seem to be able to drink much."

Kitagawa Taki sized up the fish for a moment, then looked at it with a strange expression.

"She didn't say anything embarrassing about me, did she?"

Kitagawa Taki kicked off his shoes, picked up Kuriyama Midori, and walked into the living room, laughing, "She said you like me, is that true?"

"what?"

槺捐抆至烁龃蠛炝常, е嵛岵恢浪凳裁础�

Having found his answer, Kitagawa Taki changed the subject, asking, "Which room is her bedroom?"

"This!" She exclaimed, her voice trembling. "This is it!" she thought, her voice trembling. "It's a treasure!" she murmured. "I can't believe it!" she exclaimed.

Kitagawa Taki placed Kuriyama Midori on the bed, saying, "Please take care of her, Azusa!"

"Okay, sure!"

Kitagawa Taki said, "Then I'll be going now."

Seeing that Kitagawa Taki was no longer mentioning the matter and was leaving so soon, [the text abruptly ends here].

She didn't dare to ask Kitagawa Taki to stay until he walked out of the house.

She returned to Kuriyama Midori's room and vigorously rubbed Kuriyama Midori's face, feeling utterly ashamed to face Kitagawa Taki.

……

the next day.
