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

Gan Liya said, "I will turn myself in."

Ran and Sonoko exchanged a glance, both sighing with regret.

Ultimately, this tragedy was caused by the two villains, Yuzo Sakami and Hajime Itakura.

Gan Liya was unlucky in love. Even if these things hadn't happened, being with such a hypocritical person would probably not have led to a good outcome.

After Chiyoko Yuasa brought the rope up, Taki Kitagawa tied the two men's hands and feet, carried them to the basement one in each hand, locked the door, and casually tossed the key onto the counter.

Gan Liya stared blankly at the key, then subconsciously glanced at Kitagawa Taki.

She had previously believed that her brother had died in an accident, but only learned the truth today after Itakura Hajime revealed it.

It's impossible to say that I don't feel any hatred towards them.

She had thought revenge was hopeless, but Kitagawa Taki's actions undoubtedly gave her a glimmer of hope.

Kitagawa Taki seemed completely oblivious and even smiled at her.

He didn't care whether those two guys lived or died. If Gan Liya was smart, she would have left after making the move, since the police wouldn't be here anytime soon.

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry."

Kitagawa Taki glanced at the time; it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"Taki, wait a little longer."

Sonoko rolled up her sleeves and helped Ran with her work.

She was learning to cook from Ayako Suzuki, but her cooking skills were still far inferior to Ran's.

Encouraged by Xiaolan, she also cooked a dish herself.

Half an hour later, the food was served.

Neither Mika Konagawa nor Riyako Kanari were in the mood to eat; they just sat to the side.

"Taki, try this!" Sonoko put a dish she made on Kitagawa Taki's plate.

"Very good!" Kitagawa Taki ate it in one bite and gave Sonoko a thumbs up.

Sonoko smiled happily. As long as Kitagawa Taki was happy, all her efforts during this time had not been in vain.

Just then, Kitagawa Taki noticed that the doorknob on the back door had moved, and the next second, the door opened.

It was Saburo who came in, with a yellow handbag dangling from his mouth.

"Saburo!"

Chiyoko Yuasa stood up; she clearly remembered putting Saburo in the cage.

Xiao Lan was also quite puzzled: "Huh, why did Sanlang run out?"

Mika's attention, however, was on the bag. She asked Riyako, "Isn't that your bag, Ayako?"

“It’s definitely mine.” Gan Liya was confused. She had clearly put the videotape in her handbag and thrown it into the forest. How did Saburo find it and bring it back?

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Saburo ran to Chiyoko Yuasa's feet.

Kitagawa Taki said, "Saburo didn't run out."

He had already used his divine sense to check, and Sanlang was still locked in the cage.

With questions in mind, the group went to the living room and found that Saburo was still obediently in his cage.

"How come there are two Saburos?" Sonoko looked at them again and again, the two dogs looked exactly alike.

“You’ll have to ask Auntie about that,” Kitagawa Taki said, looking at Yuasa Chiyoko.

Chiyoko Yuasa was also a little confused. Saburo was called Saburo because there were also Taro and Jiro, but those two were already dead.

"There was also a Jiro, which was a Shikoku dog like Saburo, but it should have died of illness when my husband's ex-wife passed away."

Kitagawa Taki said, "Then there must be a dog in there, which must be Jiro."

"I still have some photos there, I'll go get them." With that, Chiyoko Yuasa went upstairs.

Ran asked curiously, "It seems that even Granny Chiyoko didn't know that Jiro was still alive. How did he survive?"

Sonoko guessed, "They'll definitely take turns staying at the villa."

After thinking for a moment, Mika Funaka said, "Grandma Chiyoko takes Saburo to visit the grave every day, so Jiro should be staying in the cemetery."

Gan Liya said, "No wonder only the tombstones of the former boss, his ex-wife, and my brother were not damaged by the small animals. It turns out that Saburo and the others have been guarding them all along."

Otherwise, the dog definitely wouldn't survive in the freezing cold.

Shortly after, Chiyoko Yuasa came down with a photo album.

She turned to one of the pages, pointed to a photo, and said, "The one on the left is Jiro, and the one on the right is Saburo. The medals they are wearing around their necks are the ones they received for rescuing victims."

"Something seems off; the one on the left is Saburo."

Even Chiyoko Yuasa couldn't tell the two dogs apart.

Kitagawa Taki, however, asked, "Rescue the victims?"

“That’s right, they used to be mountain rescue dogs!” Chiyoko Yuasa patted the two dogs.

Kitagawa Taki finally understood why the chocolate was there.

Excluding everyone else, only these two dogs are left.

This also explains why the bloodstains on Yoshiki Futagaki's head are not complete.

It must have been licked by the dog.

Kitagawa Taki said, "I think one of them must have brought the chocolate to Nigaki Yoshiki. They may have been trained to provide chocolate or something when they find someone in distress."

This is probably why chocolate was found next to the corpses in the past.

"The dog is so kind and cute!"

The women were deeply moved and released the dog from its cage, whether it was Saburo or Jiro, to pet it.

Chapter 416 You still dare to talk!

late at night.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

After taking a shower, Xiaolan changed into her pajamas.

Actually, she felt quite embarrassed about sharing a room with Kitagawa Taki tonight.

The main reason is that Sonoko is also there. If she and Kitagawa Taki went out alone, she wouldn't feel anything.

What are you thinking about?

Kitagawa Taki launched a sneak attack from behind, grabbing Ran's waist and blowing air into her ear.

Xiaolan was startled, but when she heard Kitagawa Taki's voice, she relaxed and murmured, "It's nothing."

Kitagawa Taki laughed and said, "Alright, we should rest now."

As he spoke, his hands began to wander.

"No." Ran held Kitagawa Taki's hand and said weakly, "Taki, how about we call it a night?"

Since Sonoko was in the next room, she didn't want to make any noise, lest Sonoko hear her and it would be embarrassing.

"Anyway, your voice is soft..."

Kitagawa Taki, of course, wouldn't let this rare opportunity pass by, and began to "bewitch" Ran in her ear.

Xiaolan always sang softly and quietly when she did that, as if she was afraid of being overheard.

Unlike her, Mira was much more uninhibited and even enjoyed being a female knight.

Upon hearing Kitagawa Taki's words, Ran blushed.

Kitagawa Taki chuckled softly, kissed Ran's earlobe, and at the same time pried Ran's hand off his.

"Um……"

Xiaolan's body trembled, and her head began to spin.

She was coaxed into submission by Kitagawa Taki after a bit of coaxing.

……

"Squeak-"

The door to the room was pushed open.

A pair of bright eyes peered through the crack in the door.

The scene inside the room made Sonoko both excited and shy.

This was the first time she had ever witnessed such a sensual scene, especially since the main characters were her best friend and her man.

A strange sense of excitement welled up in Sonoko's heart.

For a moment, she didn't make any further moves and just peeked out from the doorway.

Kitagawa Taki naturally noticed the garden by the door, and if Ran opened her eyes, she would see that his expression was quite strange.

After an unknown amount of time, Sonoko tiptoed into the room.

"what!"

"A garden?!"

Xiaolan suddenly felt a cold hand. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yuanzi with a flushed face.

"Hehe." Sonoko let out a perverted laugh.

"Sonoko, you...uh...uh..."

Xiaolan was silenced.

She stared wide-eyed, completely dumbfounded.
