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

Tomizawa Tetsuji said, "Mr. Kitagawa, why don't you go in and ask that rebellious son where he got those things?"

Kitagawa Taki nodded, turned the doorknob, but couldn't open it; the door was locked from the inside.

Tetsuji Tomizawa shouted sternly, "Taichi, open the door!!"

When Tomizawa Taichi heard the noise, he knew he had been exposed. He broke out in a cold sweat and dared not open the door.

"No need to trouble yourself." Kitagawa Taki shoved the door open.

Meanwhile, Tetsuji Tomizawa turned around and shooed his youngest son, who had followed him, into the living room.

"It's you!" Tomizawa Taiichi recognized Kitagawa Taki at a glance. Thinking of the strange golden barrier from earlier, he realized that it must also be Kitagawa Taki's doing.

When Kitagawa Taki sold those talismans to Tomizawa Tetsuji, none of his sons were present, so Tomizawa Taichi had no idea that Tomizawa Tetsuji possessed life-saving abilities.

"Tomizawa Taichi, I don't want to get involved in your family affairs. Just tell me where you got those antiques with evil spirits from, and I'll leave immediately," Kitagawa Taki said, looking at the sweating Tomizawa Taichi.

Tomizawa Tai stubbornly retorted, "What evil spirit? What are you talking about? I don't understand at all!"

Kitagawa Taki didn't want to waste any time, so he went straight up and grabbed Tomizawa Taichi by the neck, lifting him up.

"Speak up, your old man knows everything. You'd better tell the truth, or I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Tomizawa Taichi was being choked so tightly that he couldn't speak and could only struggle.

Kitagawa Taki knew this, but he was just annoyed with the guy and wanted to teach him a lesson.

Kitagawa Taki only put Tomizawa Taichi down when his face turned liver-colored.

"Cough...cough..."

Fuzawa Tai was gasping for breath and coughing incessantly; he had really thought he was going to die.

He never expected that Kitagawa Taki would dare to directly attack him, the eldest son of the Tomizawa Group.

"Speak up if you don't want to suffer." Kitagawa Taki squatted down.

"I...I said, it's an old man who lives in XXX, Chuo Ward, Tokyo." Tomizawa Taichi was genuinely frightened.

Kitagawa Taki warned, "Don't even think about notifying him or anything. If I don't find him, you'll be in big trouble!"

No, no.

Tomizawa Tai wanted to get rid of this plague god as soon as possible.

Chapter 55 How come you're so skilled?

After getting the address, Kitagawa Taki said goodbye to Tomizawa Tetsuji.

As for how Tomizawa Tetsuji will deal with Tomizawa Taichi, that's none of his business.

Back at the Suzuki family villa, Kitagawa Taki found that everyone was still awake and sitting in the living room.

Hearing the commotion, everyone turned to look at Kitagawa Taki.

"The matter has been resolved. Everyone, go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow!"

The group originally planned to watch the sunrise over the sea the next morning, so they had to get up at five o'clock.

Ayako Suzuki was still a little worried. "Is Uncle Tomizawa alright?"

"I'm fine now." My body is fine, but something's definitely on my mind.

……

Early the next morning.

They all woke up with panda eyes.

Only Kitagawa Taki remained energetic; he only dozed off for a short while before getting up to cultivate.

"Taki, good morning..." Sonoko yawned.

"Good morning." Kitagawa Taki nodded.

"what--"

Sonoko suddenly remembered that she was not wearing makeup, screamed, covered her face, and ran away.

Kitagawa Taki, not understanding what was going on, went straight to wash up.

"Sonoko, I think I just heard you call out, what's wrong?" Sonoko bumped into Ran on the road.

"Taki just saw me without makeup," Sonoko said, somewhat annoyed.

"Huh? I thought it was something serious. Sonoko, you look beautiful even without makeup!"

To be honest, both Sonoko and she were eighteen years old, in the prime of their youth, with plenty of collagen, making them practically flawless.

"No! I have to wear makeup!"

Watching Sonoko rush off to put on makeup, Xiaolan shook her head.

By the time the women finished getting ready, it was almost six o'clock. Luckily, the beach was very close, otherwise they would definitely have missed the sunrise.

At this moment, the sky was just beginning to lighten, and the girls sat on the beach waiting for the sunrise.

Kitagawa Taki stood behind, and from his perspective, the sky above the girls was just beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn. So he raised his camera and snapped a picture.

As time went by, the color of the sky gradually changed, from deep blue to light blue, and finally slowly turned red, and the sun finally peeked out from the horizon.

Sonoko and Ran were admiring the beautiful scenery of nature, while Akemi Miyano and Ai Haibara were enjoying this tranquil and free time, something they could never experience while in the Black Organization.

Golden sunlight spilled across the sea, shimmering and sparkling. With the sea breeze blowing, her hair moved in the wind, creating a perfect picture. Kitagawa Taki took a series of photos from the side.

Afterwards, Sonoko pulled others into the filming group, taking pictures of the sunrise and taking pictures of each other...

When Kitagawa Taki and Haibara Ai took a photo together.

"Ai, smile!" Akemi Miyano directed as the photographer.

Ai Haibara finally managed a slight smile from her expressionless face.

Kitagawa Taki took the camera from Miyano Akemi, who secretly smiled.

"Ai, why do you look uglier when you smile than when you cry?" Kitagawa Taki looked at the photo, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Ai Haibara said calmly, "That's how I laugh."

"You're not still holding a grudge about what I said about your figure yesterday, are you?" Kitagawa Taki asked, leaning closer.

It would have been better if we hadn't talked about it, because mentioning Ai Haibara makes her a bit angry.

"You still dare to talk back!" Ai Haibara glared at Taki Kitagawa.

Kitagawa Taki was now somewhat certain; she really was a vengeful, tsundere loli.

……

Garden room.

After watching the sunrise, the girls went back to catch up on their sleep.

"Sis, did you notice anything yesterday?"

It was too late last night, so Sonoko kept it to herself.

"You really didn't find anything?" Ayako Suzuki couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, I think Ms. Miyazaki is a very nice person, it's just that her mahjong skills aren't very good."

Sonoko thought of how Miyano Akemi had been losing almost the entire previous afternoon.

Ayako Suzuki shook her head; she admired her younger sister's audacity.

It seems that only Sonoko at that table was completely focused on the cards.

"Their skills are far superior to yours; they're just helping Kitagawa."

"Huh?" Sonoko was completely confused.

"I don't know how Kitagawa treats her, but she looks at him with eyes full of sweetness!"

Ayako Suzuki tapped Sonoko's head with her finger, looking at her with a disappointed expression.

"Huh? Is it really that exaggerated?" Sonoko covered her forehead.

Ayako Suzuki sighed. Only a girl like Sonoko, who has never been in a relationship, could not see it, right?

"Sis, I understand." Sonoko suddenly perked up.

"What do you understand?" Ayako Suzuki couldn't help but ask.

"I want to confess my feelings to Taki!!"

……

in the afternoon.

Kitagawa Taki and the others then prepared to drive back to Beika Town. Tomizawa Tetsuji had originally planned a party, but after what happened last night, it was obviously impossible to hold it.

Before setting off, Kitagawa Taki sold several more talismans to Tomizawa Tetsuji, earning several million yen.

Kitagawa Taki arrived at the office first, and then drove Sonoko home alone.

On the bus, Sonoko, who is usually very talkative, was unusually silent today.

Kitagawa Taki asked first, "Sonoko, is something on your mind?"

Sonoko was lost in thought when Kitagawa Taki asked her a question, and she immediately panicked, "N-nothing."

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Sonoko out of the corner of his eye; she didn't look like anything was wrong at all.

Sonoko was extremely conflicted. Although she had boasted to Ayako Suzuki, she was still very nervous at this moment. The words were stuck in her throat, but she couldn't say them.

As she got closer and closer to her home, Sonoko felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

She didn't dare look at Kitagawa Taki. "Taki."

"Ok?"

"I like you!" After saying those words, Sonoko felt time was passing incredibly slowly, as if a stopwatch was ticking in her heart.

Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~

Sonoko was terrified of hearing Kitagawa Taki's rejection.
