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

As she spoke, Vermouth was about to get up.

"Hey~ why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Kitagawa Taki pressed Vermouth's shoulder, making her sit down.

He sat down close to Vermouth, his arm around her waist. "Miss reporter, I've told you everything I know. Are you just going to leave like this?"

Vermouth chuckled to herself. Kitagawa Taki was actually putting on an act with her?

When it comes to acting, she's a professional!

She leaned closer and blew a breath, "So, Mr. Kitagawa, what do you want me to do?"

Chapter 461 The fish hasn't been caught yet.

Vermouth picked up the clothes scattered on the ground and said to Kitagawa Taki, "Help me button them up."

Kitagawa Taki came up behind Vermouth and helped her fasten her buttons.

Vermouth suddenly asked, "What do you plan to have Curaçao do in the future?"

Kitagawa Taki shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it after this period of time passes."

Vermouth sighed and said, "It would be a shame not to make good use of such a good card."

After a pause, Vermouth asked, "Are you clear about her abilities?"

Kitagawa Taki glanced sideways. "What ability?"

“The ability to remember,” Vermouth explained. “The reason Rum sent her to infiltrate the police department was because of this ability; she can memorize a large amount of information in a very short time.”

Vermouth put on her coat. "Of course, besides that, her other abilities are not to be underestimated, such as combat and firearms."

Kitagawa Taki tidied her hair and asked, "So, what do you think I should ask her to do?"

"Put mud in the meeting." Vermouth glanced back at Kitagawa Taki. "It won't be any worse than your female assassin."

Kitagawa Taki nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Vermouth's idea coincided with his.

If you were to ask Kitagawa Yuki to suddenly live like an ordinary person, she probably wouldn't be used to it.

However, it depends on her own thoughts.

Vermouth put on her human skin mask and said, "I'm leaving now."

……

After seeing Vermouth off, Kitagawa Taki returned home.

He has recently reached the threshold of the eighth level of Qi Refining, and is just one step away from breaking through.

“You’re back.” Ai Haibara glanced at Taki Kitagawa, who was passing by.

"Hmm." Kitagawa Taki responded, and started to walk upstairs, asking as he went, "Where's your sister?"

"She went out to buy something." Ai Haibara sniffed slightly, her brow furrowing. "What's that smell?"

"What smell is there?" Beichuan Taki paused. He could even smell it?

Ai Haibara gave a soft hum, which clearly carried the scent of a woman.

She thought Kitagawa Taki was going to take care of important business, but it turned out he was going to fool around with women.

Ai Haibara pouted, feeling a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything as she usually does.

Kitagawa Taki didn't notice Ai Haibara's expression. Seeing that Ai Haibara didn't ask any more questions, he went straight to the training room.

……

the next day.

An uninvited guest arrived at the Kitagawa residence.

"Who are you?" Miyano Akemi looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her.

"Hello, I'm Tooru Amuro, a staff member at Polo Cafe. I'm here to see Mr. Kitagawa."

Amuro Tooru had a kind smile on his face.

He originally planned to wait until Kitagawa Taki arrived at the office before going to see him.

But no matter how long he waited, Kitagawa Taki didn't show up, and no one answered his phone. So, he had no choice but to come to his house.

What he didn't know was that Kitagawa Taki was busy with his training and had no time to go to the office.

“Taki-kun is probably not available right now…” Miyano Akemi gave an apologetic look.

She knew perfectly well that Kitagawa Taki should never be disturbed when he was in the training room.

"I see." Amuro Tooru asked, "When will Mr. Kitagawa have time?"

Akemi Miyano said, "I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure either."

"Then I'll head back now!" Amuro Tooru handed the bag he was carrying to Miyano Akemi and said with a smile, "These are some desserts I made myself. I hope you'll accept them."

"You're so kind, thank you!"

Akemi Miyano did not refuse.

After the two thanked each other again, Toru Amuro turned and left.

He glanced back at the Kitagawa residence; according to Miyano Akemi, Kitagawa Taki was at home.

But what exactly is Kitagawa Taki doing? He's not even answering his phone?

……

"Sister, who is it?"

Ai Haibara watched as Akemi Miyano walked into the house carrying a bag.

Akemi Miyano said, "It's a staff member at the Polo Cafe across from the agency, named Tooru Amuro. He said he needs to see Taki-kun."

"Oh, the clerk who just came here not long ago."

Ai Haibara nodded; she did know Tooru Amuro.

……

It was almost noon.

Kitagawa Taki came out of the training room and then noticed the missed calls on his phone.

However, he did not call Amuro Tooru back.

Without even guessing, you know what Amuro Tooru wanted to say on the phone.

“Taki-kun, Mr. Amuro Tooru from Polo Café came to your house this morning.”

Seeing Kitagawa Taki come downstairs, Miyano Akemi looked up and said.

"He also came to my house to see me?" Beichuan Taki raised his eyebrows slightly. "Okay, I'll go over this afternoon to see if he has anything to do."

……

in the afternoon.

Kitagawa Exorcism Office.

Kitagawa Taki and Amuro Tooru sat facing each other.

"What do you want?" Kitagawa Taki asked directly.

"Mr. Kitagawa, could you tell me about your relationship with Curaçao?"

Amuro Tooru squinted, staring at Kitagawa Taki's face.

He wanted to find out what exactly happened between Kitagawa Taki and Curaçao.

Why did Curacao tell the information to Kitagawa Taki instead of passing it back to the organization?

Amuro Tooru already knew that Curaçao had not been rescued by Gin and the others.

This relieved him, but also left him with a few more doubts.

To everyone's relief, Curaçao was not brought back to the organization, which means his undercover identity is safe.

The question is, why did Curaçao choose to escape on her own? Is Kitagawa Taki involved?

Kitagawa Taki's answer was simple and straightforward: "No."

"Mr. Kitagawa, there's something I need to tell you. The police department is now suspicious of you."

"Why would a dangerous criminal who broke into the police station appear in your office, Mr. Kitagawa?"

Seeing that Kitagawa Takimori remained tight-lipped, Amuro Tooru's eyes revealed a hint of danger.

Kitagawa Taki shrugged, not taking Amuro Tooru's threat to heart. "Then you can investigate all you want."

Amuro Tooru's face was ashen; he didn't want to fall out with Kitagawa Taki.

After all, both of them have their own leverage.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Taki spoke again: "If you want information, you have to offer something in return to exchange for it."

Amuro Tooru didn't want to break off relations, and neither did he.

It's important to know that Amuro Tooru was a key pawn in luring Rum.

How can you throw away the bait before you've even caught the fish?

Amuro Tooru asked in a deep voice, "I've already helped you deal with the police department, isn't that enough?"

"Of course it's not enough. This is what you should do. Protecting me is protecting yourself, isn't it?" Kitagawa Taki said with a slight smile.

Amuro Tooru cursed inwardly, "What do you want to know?"

"How did the police department know so much information about undercover agents, especially about that female host?"

Kitagawa Taki was quite curious. He could let the other small fry go, but how did Rena Mizunashi's identity get leaked?

Her father even lost his life so that she could continue her undercover work.
