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

Murder of the prosecutor? Escape?

His older brother is abroad catching a mole! He wouldn't have time to kill a mere prosecutor.

Vodka immediately kicked everyone else out and made a phone call to Gin.

"Brother, someone in Japan impersonated you and murdered a prosecutor on a train. Now there are arrest warrants for you everywhere."

Gin remained silent for a long time. The first person he thought of was Vermouth, who was known as the "Thousand-Faced Witch" in the organization.

Because he and Vermouth didn't get along well, and Vermouth was fully capable of doing so.

Gin said, "I'll handle this," and hung up the phone.

Gin then called Vermouth again.

Gin demanded, "Vermouth, where are you right now?"

"Isn't that Gin? What happened?"

Vermouth's languid voice came through, clearly indicating that she didn't intend to give Gin an answer directly.

Gin paused for a moment, then coldly explained, "Someone in Japan impersonated me and murdered a prosecutor in public. Now my arrest warrants are flying everywhere."

"Hahahaha!" Vermouth let out a hearty laugh.

"So you suspect I did it? Unfortunately, I've been in the United States the whole time."

Gin got the answer and immediately hung up the phone.

Vermouth, on the other end of the line, stopped smiling when she heard the busy tone on the phone.

Impersonating Gin? Murder? Skilled in disguise?

She has no clue about this yet.

……

Kitagawa Exorcism Office.

Kitagawa Taki also saw the wanted poster in the newspaper and couldn't help but laugh out loud, but unfortunately he didn't draw Gin's face.

He handed the newspaper to the Miyano sisters on the sofa.

Miyano Akemi asked in confusion, "Is this Gin? But how could it be? Assassinations in the organization are always carried out very covertly."

When Ai Haibara saw Gin, her pupils almost lost focus.

Kitagawa Taki noticed the worry and fear in Haibara Ai's eyes and sat down next to her.

"Ai, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Akemi Miyano also noticed Ai Haibara's unusual behavior. She put down her newspaper, hugged her, and gently comforted her, "I will protect you too."

Ai Haibara felt the care and concern from Akemi Miyano and Taki Kitagawa, and finally cheered up a bit.

'I'm not alone anymore!'

……

night.

Kitagawa Taki originally thought this matter would continue to escalate, but unexpectedly he saw the news about the arrest warrant.

The news report basically states that the police had mistaken the suspect, issued a new arrest warrant, apologized to the public, and demonstrated a strong sense of "dedication and craftsmanship."

Looking at the new suspect on the wanted poster, Kitagawa Taki sneered.

This distillery has quite a bit of influence! The wanted notice was issued in the afternoon, and it was changed in the evening.

Mouri Detective Agency.

Conan also saw the news.

This is definitely not a simple matter!

Conan tugged at Kogoro Mouri's sleeve, who had drunk several bottles of alcohol, and said, "Uncle, why don't you call Inspector Megure and ask him what's going on?"

"W-what is that?"

Kogoro Mouri was already dizzy and had no idea what Conan was talking about.

"The news on TV!" Conan said anxiously, pointing at the television.

"This announcer...is quite pretty," Kogoro Mouri chuckled foolishly.

Seeing this, Conan had no choice but to run to a public phone booth outside and use his voice-changing bow tie to impersonate Kogoro Mouri and call Inspector Megure.

Inspector Megure reluctantly revealed that it was Koichi Yamabe who suddenly changed his story.

He was in a terrible predicament because of this. He was not only severely criticized by his superiors, but also had to apologize to the public, losing all face.

Conan asked, "Inspector, did Yamabe Koichi personally come to you to explain?"

“That’s right, but… he doesn’t look too well.” Inspector Megure hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Furthermore, I have received information that he has already requested to resign from his superiors."

Conan paused for a moment, then asked, "What about the other passengers who were on the same train?"

“We’ve already questioned the passengers, and they all said they only heard one gunshot and were so scared they lay down and didn’t know anything.”

"Brother Mori, that's enough for now, I have other things to take care of."

After saying that, Inspector Megure hung up the phone.

Conan rested his chin on his hand. In his opinion, Yamabe Koichi must have been under some kind of pressure or threat to change his mind at the last minute, or even resign directly.

This must have been done by the Black Organization! It's just that these men in black are like ghosts, appearing suddenly and then disappearing without a trace.

……

The next morning.

Kitagawa Taki had already put the matter out of his mind. In any case, he had already achieved his goal, and messing with Gin was just a side effect.

He had just finished his cultivation when he received a message from Sonoko—

Sonoko: Taki, a really beautiful girl will be coming to visit you with me after school this afternoon!

Kitagawa Taki: What great beauty?

Sonoko: You just transferred to our class a few days ago, and people are really interested in you because they heard you're an exorcist!

Kitagawa Taki: Why do I think I smell vinegar? (laughs)

Sonoko: What do you mean? I don't understand. Taki, I have to go to class, I have to go now!

Sonoko was clearly pretending not to understand, and Kitagawa Taki shook his head with a smile.

He didn't feel anything about the meeting in the afternoon, just thinking of her as a curious girl.

Chapter 59 I don't believe you!

in the afternoon.

After school, Sonoko and her new friend Akako Koizumi drive to the Kitagawa Exorcism Office.

Kitagawa Taki was a fairly well-known exorcist, and Koizumi Akako easily found out his identity.

Upon learning that Kitagawa Taki was an exorcist, Koizumi Akako concluded that Kitagawa Taki also possessed mysterious powers, which instantly aroused her great interest in him, because she had never seen a real exorcist before, only seeing related descriptions in the family's inherited books.

So, Koizumi Akako quickly transferred to Teitan Second Year Class B and bought a villa in Beika Town.

As the heir to an ancient magical family, money is certainly not a problem.

After arriving at Teitan, she quickly became friends with Sonoko and Ran, and after much pleading, she got Sonoko to take her to see Kitagawa Taki.

dong dong~

Sonoko knocked twice on the door and then pushed it open.

Kitagawa Taki was the only one in the office; Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai were upstairs.

Sonoko greeted Kitagawa Taki with a smile, "Taki!"

"Sonoko, you're here."

As Kitagawa Taki responded, he glanced at Koizumi Akako, who was standing behind Sonoko, because she was too conspicuous. Although she didn't have as much spiritual power as him, she had a lot more than the shrine maiden he had seen last year.

Sonoko felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Kitagawa Taki greet her but stare at Koizumi Akako. "Ahem... Taki, let me introduce you. This is Koizumi Akako. What do you think? I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

"Hello, I'm Koizumi Akako." Koizumi Akako stared intently at Kitagawa Taki and extended her hand.

"Kitagawa Taki."

Kitagawa Taki reached out and gave it a slight squeeze. He had a feeling that Koizumi Akako's gaze was a little off; it was like the way an owner looks at a pet.

Kitagawa Taki's sixth sense is quite accurate.

When Koizumi Akako first saw Kitagawa Taki, she not only thought he looked even more handsome in person than in the Magic Mirror, but she also sensed that his elemental power (spiritual power) was much stronger than hers.

She secretly resolved to make Kitagawa Taki submit to her and capture his heart.

Koizumi Akako was confident because, according to her family's records, exorcists and witches were different. Exorcists would incorporate elemental power (spiritual power) into their bodies and use tools and talismans to exorcise spirits, while witches mainly relied on their mental power to manipulate external elemental power.

Kitagawa Taki gestured for the two to sit down on the sofa.

"I heard from Sonoko that Miss Koizumi is very interested in exorcism?" Kitagawa Taki asked.

"That's right, Mr. Kitagawa, could you demonstrate?"

Koizumi Akako looked eager, like a young girl full of curiosity about the unknown.

“Demonstration? But I can only see spirits and use tools to remove them.”

Koizumi Akako possesses spiritual power and takes the initiative to visit without revealing her identity, so Kitagawa Taki naturally won't expose himself.

"What prop? Can I take a look?" Koizumi Akako persisted.

Kitagawa Taki had a sudden inspiration. He walked to the desk and pretended to take out the wooden box he had previously obtained from Yamamoto Masaki from the drawer.

"This is it."

Koizumi Akako looked closely and realized that this wooden box was not an ordinary box.

"Could you let me take a closer look?" Koizumi Akako asked.
