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

During the investigation, another murder occurred, which was undoubtedly a provocation by the killer against the police.

But they still haven't been able to decipher the code left by the killer.

……

in the afternoon.

It's almost three o'clock.

Metropolitan Police Department building.

Parking Garage.

Because of yet another murder, the police held another investigation meeting.

Kitagawa Taki and Mori Kogoro were naturally not left out.

Just before the meeting began, Kitagawa Taki was summoned by Sato Miwako.

Inside the car, Sato Miwako's face was ashen.

It's not just because of the murder that just happened.

"Kitagawa, don't you really think there's something strange about this case?"

After careful consideration, Miwako Sato spoke.

"Oh?"

Kitagawa Taki raised an eyebrow; Sato Miwako still hadn't let go of her suspicions.

“I’ll be frank,” Sato Miwako said solemnly, her expression turning serious. “Kitagawa, I suspect there’s a spy within our police force!”

"spy?"

Miwako Sato's keen observation surprised Takiya Kitagawa slightly.

"A woman mysteriously disappeared, tires bursting at the same time without warning, and paint being stepped on twice at Shindo Sumire's house..."

Sato Miwako revealed her suspicions to Kitagawa Taki one by one.

“I see. Miwako, your suspicions are not without merit. Do you have someone to suspect?” Kitagawa Taki looked at Sato Miwako.

Sato Miwako first shook her head, then asked, "Are you familiar with Officer Yamamura Misao and Kitagawa?"

In her view, Yamamura Misao's behavior was inconsistent with his identity.

How could a police inspector be so reckless?

If it weren't for his "mistake," none of what followed would have happened.

When Sato Miwako asked about Cao-ge, Kitagawa Taki chuckled to himself.

"You might not know this, but Officer Yamamura is just like that... uh, how should I put it? A bit eccentric?!"

"Huh?" Sato Miwako's mouth opened slightly, which looked rather cute in contrast.

Kitagawa Taki laughed and said, "Well, you'll know once you get to know him a few more times."

“Okay.” Sato Miwako shook her head with a wry smile.

Kitagawa Taki's smile faded, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "In that case... during the investigation meeting later, we'll focus on observing the police officers present and see if we can discover anything."

Since Sato Miwako had already said so much, he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb any longer.

"That's all I can do. I hope I'm just overthinking it..."

Miwako Sato sighed inwardly; the serial murder case was becoming increasingly complicated.

……

The two went upstairs together, only to run into Conan at the entrance of the conference room.

Kitagawa Taki wasn't surprised. Given Conan's personality, if there were a serial murder case, wouldn't he have come running as soon as he sensed it?

He certainly wouldn't be able to attend the investigation meeting.

Conan had just finished greeting the two when Inspector Megure and Ireland walked over together.

Who is this child?

Ireland pretended not to recognize Conan when he saw him.

Inspector Megure introduced, "Manager Matsumoto, this is Conan."

Ireland nodded, glanced at Conan, said nothing more, and walked into the conference room first.

But in a moment when no one noticed, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He is now basically certain that Conan Edogawa and Shinichi Kudo are the same person.

Judging from the childhood photos of Shinichi Kudo that he obtained, he looks exactly like Conan Edogawa.

The only difference is that Conan Edogawa now wears a pair of glasses.

It's a pity that Shinichi Kudo's fingerprints are not easy to obtain, otherwise we could have obtained irrefutable evidence.

Conan was unaware of anything unusual about Ireland.

He adjusted his glasses; before Kogoro Mouri went inside, he had already attached the listening device to Kogoro Mouri's clothes.

This way, even if he is outside, he can still know the content of the meeting.

……

This search meeting is primarily focused on the recent death of Sumire Shindo.

However, just like in previous cases, the murderer did not leave any traces at the scene.

There has been no progress despite the clues deliberately left by the murderer.

The entire case seems to have reached a stalemate.

Chapter 473 Progress

"By the way, Gin, you killed that high school detective with that drug, right?"

After exchanging information with Gin, Ireland casually inquired about Shinichi Kudo.

"what?"

Gin said he had no recollection of it at all.

"Shinichi Kudo, you...forgot?"

Ireland held his phone in his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Gin was silent for a moment, then hung up the phone.

What kind of washing machine?

Just as no one remembers how many slices of bread they ate, he never bothered to remember the names of the unfortunate men who died at his hands.

Hehe~

"You've even forgotten your name?"

Ireland put away his phone and tapped his finger lightly on the table.

He didn't expect that Gin would have no recollection of Shinichi Kudo at all. Shinichi Kudo was, after all, a famous detective who frequently made headlines.

Now, he is very curious about Shinichi Kudo's thoughts.

As a detective, wouldn't you investigate your own affairs?

That is impossible.

In other words, Shinichi Kudo is probably investigating their organization, but it's unclear how much he's actually uncovered.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

After finishing the meeting at Kitagawa Taki, I went to Ekoda.

Once the door to desire is opened, it is difficult to close it again.

It's reasonable for them to announce it during the day, isn't it?

If you're mainly going to her house, daytime is the perfect time.

Because Kaito Kuroba is at school.

Kitagawa Taki says he's very familiar with raiding bases!

Since Conan moved back to his own home, he often goes to visit other people's homes during the day.

……

Kuroba Chikage, who didn't want to move a single finger, nestled in Kitagawa Taki's arms.

One has to marvel at Kitagawa Taki's "perverted" nature.

They say that at thirty one is like a wolf and at forty like a tiger, but even with the added buff of being deprived of sex for so long, I still can't beat them.

Thinking about it this way, it seems quite reasonable that Kitagawa Taki has quite a few women?

Even someone as mature as her couldn't handle it, let alone the younger girls.

Kuroba Chikage's thoughts drifted away, and she herself didn't realize that she was thinking in increasingly skewed directions.

Until Kitagawa Taki's voice rang in my ears: "What are you thinking about?"

Kuroba Chikage finally came to her senses. Of course, she wouldn't tell Kitagawa Taki, otherwise wouldn't that just embolden Kitagawa Taki?

"It's nothing~" She gave Kitagawa Taki a rather resentful look.

Kitagawa Taki:? ?

What does that look mean?

Women's minds are truly hard to fathom.

Kitagawa Taki didn't dwell on it; if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't guess.

"How do you plan to talk to him?"
