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

Director Tsugawa fainted instantly.

Kitagawa Taki reached into his pocket and, sure enough, pulled out a pistol.

"Brother Kitagawa!"

"Beichuan!"

Conan then realized that not only he, but everyone else knew Kitagawa Taki.

Kitagawa Taki, holding the gun, asked, "Ai, are you alright?"

Ai Haibara shook her head, puzzled, and asked, "I'm fine, why are you here?"

"Check your phone first. Your sister is so worried. She's been texting me but you're not replying, and she's been calling but you're not answering. If I hadn't come looking for you, who knows what might have happened today!"

Kitagawa Taki said, shaking the gun in his hand.

Ai Haibara then took out her phone to check, and found not only Akemi Miyano's information and phone number, but also Taki Kitagawa's.

"Sorry, I put my phone on silent when I entered the library."

Ayumi, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "Kitagawa-nii, do you know Ai?"

"Of course I know her, she lives in my house."

Kitagawa Taki was too lazy to discipline these kids. Their parents didn't care, so why should he? Anyway, he'd always be fine hanging out with Conan.

When Conan heard that Ai Haibara was living at the Kitagawa Taki's house, he was taken aback. He had never seen this girl before!

Then he was speechless again. When Kitagawa Taki was there, she stole his thunder; when Kitagawa Taki wasn't there, a little girl came and stole his thunder.

"Hey, Kitagawa-nii, is Ai your little sister?" Ayumi asked.

"Yes."

After saying that, Kitagawa Taki reached out to grab Haibara Ai's hand, but she dodged it.

"Looks like I need a hug!" Kitagawa Taki pretended to hug Haibara Ai again.

Ai Haibara quickly offered her small hand to Taki Kitagawa.

Kitagawa Taki held Haibara Ai's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Ai Haibara felt the warmth of her hand and rolled her eyes at Taki Kitagawa. She knew he was definitely doing it on purpose.

Kitagawa Taki turned around and handed the gun to Conan, saying, "By the way, Conan, call the police. We'll wait for you in the car."

Chapter 50 If you keep being polite, I won't be so polite anymore.

Conan was left alone in the library, looking at the gun in his hand, full of resentment. Why did they have to entrust such a task to a child like him? And was it really appropriate to give a gun to a child?

After Conan called the police, Inspector Megure, the familiar face, arrived. After asking who had subdued the armed Director Tsugawa, Kitagawa Taki couldn't help but exchange a few pleasantries with Inspector Megure.

Since the heroin and the body had already been found, it didn't take much time.

Kitagawa Taki drove the three kids home one by one, leaving only Ai Haibara and Conan in the car.

Conan asked, "Um, Kitagawa-nii-san, did Ai Haibara only recently come to your house? I haven't seen her before."

“Yes.” Kitagawa Taki glanced at Conan through the rearview mirror.

Conan nodded. No wonder he had never met Ai Haibara before. However, he always felt that something was off about Ai Haibara. Or was it that all kids these days are this amazing?

Not only are they knowledgeable and quick-witted, but they are also calm and composed in the face of adversity.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but feel a little defeated, but he immediately put it out of his mind. He was the "Holmes of the Heisei era," how could he lose to a child? Today he was just careless and forgot that he had shrunk!

As Conan was lost in thought, the car soon arrived at the Kitagawa Exorcism Office.

"Goodbye, Kitagawa-nii!" Conan said and dashed back to the Mouri Detective Agency.

Watching Conan skillfully say goodbye to Kitagawa Taki in a childlike voice, Ai Haibara said:

"It seems that Shinichi Kudo has fully integrated into his new identity."

"He's quite good at pretending to be a child. You should learn from him. Come on, call him brother."

As Kitagawa Taki spoke, he reached out and ruffled Ai Haibara's hair.

When Ai Haibara heard Kitagawa Taki teasing her again, she didn't want to pay any attention to him and went upstairs without looking back.

As soon as she entered the room, Ai Haibara was hugged tightly by Akemi Miyano.

"You scared me to death, Shiho! I thought it was the organization..."

If Kitagawa Taki hadn't stopped her, Miyano Akemi would have rushed into the library with a gun.

This woman always displayed an unusual level of determination and courage when it came to her sister.

"I'm sorry, sister."

Just as Ai Haibara was about to reveal the truth, she was interrupted by Taki Kitagawa.

"She was just too tired and fell asleep in the library reading room."

Kitagawa Taki winked at Haibara Ai.

Ai Haibara understood perfectly; she didn't want Akemi Miyano to worry too much.

After all, what happened today was quite thrilling.

Kitagawa Taki reminded her, "Ai, remember to turn on vibrate from now on, don't turn it on silent."

Ai Haibara said softly, "Mm."

"Ai, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go make you something."

Akemi Miyano did not doubt what the two said. After releasing Ai Haibara, she turned and went to the kitchen.

"Thank you," Ai Haibara said, seeing her sister leave.

Kitagawa Taki said with a smile, "Don't be so polite, we're all family."

Clearly, Ai Haibara wouldn't understand what Kitagawa Taki meant by "family".

"By the way, Ai, how about I give you a gun for self-defense?"

Kitagawa Taki can currently only craft talismans for exorcism and defense; he can't craft offensive talismans yet. Therefore, Kitagawa Taki is thinking of giving Ai Haibara a gun.

"Huh?" Ai Haibara was taken aback by Kitagawa Taki's sudden question, and her expression was quite adorable.

"Do you have one?" Ai Haibara asked, then realized she had asked a pointless question.

Kitagawa Taki took out the Browning M1906 he had gotten from Vermouth from his bracelet. This gun was small and lightweight, making it suitable for Ai Haibara.

As for bullets, Kitagawa Taki had already obtained them from the Muddy Ginseng Association, including bullets for other handguns.

Ai Haibara took the pistol. "Don't worry, I won't use it unless absolutely necessary."

Ai Haibara had practiced marksmanship while she was in the organization, but she was worried that misusing a pistol would cause trouble for Taki Kitagawa.

Kitagawa Taki waved his hand, "As long as you know your limits, your own safety is the most important thing."

Not long after, Akemi Miyano came out of the kitchen carrying the food.

By the time Ai Haibara finished eating and cleaning up, it was already 10 p.m.

After washing up, the group returned to their respective rooms.

early morning.

Kitagawa Taki opened Miyano Akemi's door; the door was not locked from the inside.

She walked gently to Akemi Miyano's bedside.

To his surprise, Akemi Miyano woke up instantly and reached for the gun under her pillow.

Miyano Akemi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Kitagawa Taki.

"Taki-kun, it's you? You scared me!"

Seeing this reaction, Kitagawa Taki knew that Miyano Akemi was definitely not yet free from her previous lifestyle.

However, there is plenty of time, and time will change everything.

Kitagawa Taki sat down next to him, his hands starting to wander.

"Taki-kun, Ai is still next door! If she hears us, I'll..."

“You didn’t say that that night.”

"That night was different. Ai was so tired, and she took fever reducer, so she slept very soundly."

"It's okay, just keep your voice down."

……

The next morning.

Miyano Akemi was relieved to see that Ai Haibara was not acting strangely.

Then, she glared reproachfully at Kitagawa Taki sitting opposite her, making her feel like a thief.

Kitagawa Taki felt Miyano Akemi's gaze and grinned at her.

"Ai, I've already taken care of those experimental equipment. They should arrive in a few days."

Kitagawa Taki also asked Professor Agasa to help him find some things that were hard to buy.

Ai Haibara nodded. "Thank you."

The problem of experimental equipment has been solved, but Ai Haibara still faces another problem: drug information.

She had originally started her own research based on her parents' research. The drug data was quite extensive, and it was impossible for her to memorize it all. It was not impossible for her to start researching the antidote from scratch, but it would be much slower.

To obtain the drug information, they needed to get close to the organization. Ai Haibara didn't plan to tell Taki Kitagawa about this; to her, Taki Kitagawa's willingness to take them in was already a huge help.

After the group finished breakfast, Ai Haibara stayed in her room to read, while Akemi Miyano and Taki Kitagawa went to the office on the second floor.

"Taki-kun, I need your help with something," Miyano Akemi said, turning around after closing the door.

"Akami, why are you being so polite, just like Ai? If you have something to say, just say it directly. If you keep being so polite, I'm going to beat you up." Kitagawa Taki's malicious gaze moved downwards.

As for where to beat them up, it goes without saying.

Feeling Kitagawa Taki's gaze, Miyano Akemi nodded, her face slightly flushed, and said:
