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

"Taki-kun, what's wrong?" Miyano Akemi asked, poking her head out of the kitchen when she heard Kitagawa Taki's laughter.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something happy."

"Oh..." Miyano Akemi nodded somewhat bewilderedly and continued working.

At that moment, Kitagawa Taki received a message from Sonoko, telling him to quickly check the Tokyo morning news, as something big had happened.

So, Kitagawa Taki switched to the news channel.

Chapter 62 Turning the Elbow Outwards

It turns out that it was Kaito Kid who sent out the warning letter.

On April 19th, the 60th anniversary of the Suzuki Foundation, aboard the Salisbury, departing from Yokohama Port, I will go to claim that "dark star" as the waves invite me.

—Phantom Thief Kid Part 1

More importantly, this "dark star" is a family heirloom of the Suzuki family.

The fact that Kaito Kid has set his sights on such a valuable treasure so soon after his return to the scene, and even publicly issued a teaser letter, is definitely a provocation against the Suzuki Foundation.

The Suzuki Foundation has partnered with the police and will deploy a large number of officers to ensure that Phantom Thief Kid never returns!

After reading the news, Kitagawa Taki curled his lip, thinking, "There's no way the police can protect 'Dark Star'!"

A few minutes later, Sonoko sent another message.

Sonoko: Taki, did you see that? I looked up some information, and that Phantom Thief Kid seems pretty powerful, called something like "Lupin of the Heisei Era" and "The Magician Under the Moonlight." My parents even hired Uncle Mori, but I'm still a little worried. Can you come help me?

Kitagawa Taki replied to Sonoko with a "don't worry" emoji, indicating that he would definitely help protect the Suzuki family heirloom.

As for why they didn't capture Kaito Kid, it's because keeping him alive would still be useful. Kitagawa Taki suddenly realized that Kaito Kid, as the son of Kuroba Toichi, also knew voice-changing techniques, so they could just learn it from him.

The announced date is the day after tomorrow, but I still need to make some preparations to attend the party.

"Hey, a party on the cruise ship? Shall we go too?"

Kitagawa Taki told Miyano Akemi about attending the Suzuki Foundation gathering the day after tomorrow.

“Of course, we’re family,” Kitagawa Taki said matter-of-factly.

"But we need to buy a dress before we go."

"Call Xiao Ai along, let's go out now."

Kitagawa Taki knew that he had just teased Ai Haibara, and Ai Haibara would definitely not give him a good look.

Sure enough, after Ai Haibara came out of the room, she didn't even glance at Taki Kitagawa, and she even changed her clothes, swapping her skirt for pants.

Upon seeing this, Kitagawa Taki couldn't help but smile. Even if it were steel armor, let alone pants, it wouldn't be able to block divine sense.

Seeing that Ai Haibara had suddenly changed her clothes, Akemi Miyano asked, "Ai, why did you change your skirt?"

She thought the green overalls dress was quite pretty.

"Because of that pervert, you should also be careful, sister," Ai Haibara warned.

A pervert?

Akemi Miyano glanced at Taki Kitagawa, her face flushed. What was there for her to be careful about? She had already been completely taken advantage of.

"what happens?"

Ai Haibara hesitated for a moment, then said, "He seemed to be peeking at me just now."

"This...it must have just been an accident," Miyano Akemi said, having already prepared an explanation for Kitagawa Taki.

Kitagawa Taki kept his eyes down, pretending not to hear, but inwardly gave Miyano Akemi a big thumbs up.

It was definitely an accident. There was nothing he could do; he had only recently cultivated his divine sense and didn't have a very good grasp of it yet. With just a sweep of his divine sense, everything was revealed.

Ai Haibara exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, you..."

Is this really her own sister? Why is she siding with outsiders? Did Kitagawa Taki drug her?

……

in the afternoon.

Mouri Detective Agency.

"You and Sonoko-neechan passed by Shinichi-nii in Shibuya this morning?"

Conan asked in surprise.

How is that possible? He's shrunk, and he was clearly playing soccer with Genta and Ayumi in the park this morning.

"Really! And he didn't even greet me..."

Ran was extremely disappointed. She had been waiting for Shinichi Kudo to take the initiative to contact her, but she never expected it to turn out like this. When they met, they acted like strangers.

Kogoro Mouri, slightly tipsy from drinking, said, "Ran, just ignore that detective kid. I think he's just forgotten about you!"

She then added, "If I ever run into that kid, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

Conan rolled his eyes, clearly displeased with Kogoro Mouri's words.

"That's true. He was walking and chatting with a girl." Xiaolan's eyes dimmed even more.

"Ran, you must have mistaken me for someone else! Don't worry about it," Conan said from the side. He planned to call Ran later to explain.

Ran ignored Conan and just sighed silently.

"I think Kitagawa Taki across the street is pretty good. He's talented and handsome, just like me when I was young!"

"Ahahahaha!"

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri burst into laughter.

"Dad, what are you saying!"

Xiao Lan, who had been feeling melancholy, suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Kitagawa Taki is the person Sonoko likes, if she...

Taking in Ran's changing expressions, Conan curled his lip and said, "Kitagawa Taki is just a charlatan who knows how to play tricks and deceive people."

"Conan!" Ran shouted, clearly a little angry.

“They can make so much money, they must be capable. What do you know, kid?” Kogoro Mori scolded.

Seeing that both of them were defending Kitagawa Taki, Conan felt like crying but had no choice but to obediently apologize, "I'm sorry..."

He held a grudge against Kitagawa Taki in his heart.

Ran suddenly remembered what Sonoko had said that morning and turned around to ask, "Dad, Sonoko said that Chairman Suzuki invited you to the anniversary party the day after tomorrow, and that we're going to catch Kaito Kid. Did you receive that?"

Kogoro Mouri suddenly remembered, "Oh, you mean that one? I received an invitation, that phantom thief... Kid, what's his background?"

Conan's attention was also drawn to it.

Ran explained, "According to Sonoko, he targets artworks and jewelry from all over the world and has an exceptional ability to disguise himself. Even the FBI, CIA, and Interpol have a lot of headaches dealing with him, but recently he seems to be only active in Japan."

After hearing Ran's description, Conan smirked. Wasn't that a bit too much praise? She was just a petty thief.

"With a famous detective like me here, I guarantee I can capture Phantom Thief Kid with ease!" Kogoro Mouri exclaimed with uncanny confidence.

Conan thought to himself: With you around, it's more like there's bound to be problems!

……

On the afternoon of September 19.

After changing their clothes, the group met downstairs at the office.

Kitagawa Taki, carrying Kogoro Mouri and Conan, and Sonoko, carrying several girls, head to Yokohama Port to board a cruise ship. The party will take place in the evening.

"Brother Kitagawa, your car is really nice!"

Kogoro Mouri shifted his position, feeling that this car was much more comfortable than the one he had rented.

He had seen the car before, but only had the chance to see it up close today.

"It's alright. This car was repaired not long ago because some kid who was running around at the intersection got into an accident."

As he spoke, Kitagawa Taki glanced at Conan behind him.

Kogoro Mouri chimed in, "These kids these days just need to be taught a lesson!"

Conan, with his deadpan eyes, felt a subtle dig at him.

Chapter 63 The Shameless Phantom Thief Kid

Yokohama Port.

In front of a huge cruise ship.

Countless celebrities from all walks of life boarded the ship in an orderly manner after their invitations were checked by staff.

Several Metropolitan Police Department helicopters were circling overhead, seemingly about to follow the ship.

There are also several Metropolitan Police Department patrol boats on the sea.

Kogoro Mouri clicked his tongue in amazement: "As expected of the Suzuki Group, this is quite a show of force!"

Kitagawa Taki nodded. It was a combination of cruise ships, helicopters, patrol boats, and the ability to invite so many well-known figures.

"Taki, let's board the ship!"

The garden and others, which opened a little slower, also arrived.

Sonoko wore a black fitted evening gown and carried a delicate black handbag, which complemented the gown perfectly.

With the gardener leading the way, the group didn't even bother to take out their invitations.

The girls were undoubtedly the most beautiful sight, especially with the second young lady of the Suzuki family accompanying them, which attracted the attention of other guests.

As Kitagawa Taki walked to the banquet hall on the first floor, he noticed a number of police officers, including those in plainclothes and plainclothes officers mixed in with the crowd.

But the more police there are, the better it is for Phantom Thief Kid! He can easily escape by disguising himself.

However, after a quick scan with his divine sense, he had not yet found Kaito Kid.

The group stood in the hall for a short while, and people kept coming up to greet Sonoko.
