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

"What?" Kidd was utterly astonished.

Then he refused, saying, "No."

"Don't think that just because you're blocking the doorway I can't get out!"

With that, Kid tore off his disguise, revealing his true form as the Phantom Thief Kid.

He held three smoke bombs between his fingers and threw them at Kitagawa Taki.

"You're forcing me to take action."

Kitagawa Taki completely ignored the smoke bombs; with his divine sense present, the smoke bombs were utterly ineffective against him.

Kidd grinned. The smoke bomb was just a smokescreen. He pulled out a few tear gas canisters and then, from who-knows-where, took out a gas mask and put it on.

Just as he was about to throw out the tear gas, he saw a bolt of lightning strike him.

Because Kitagawa Taki was inside the smoke bomb, Kid didn't see him forming hand seals, so he couldn't react at all and was directly struck by lightning.

Kidd felt a sharp, stabbing pain, and numbness and weakness spread from his fingers throughout his body. Then, he fell heavily to the ground.

Kitagawa Taki emerged from the smoke, looked at the immobilized Kid, and said:

"You said you insisted on making things difficult for yourself."

Kitagawa Taki did not attack with full force, fearing he might damage Kid with electricity.

Kidd's mind was completely blank, and he wasn't listening to anything Kitagawa Taki was saying.

Kitagawa Taki wasn't in a hurry; he waited patiently for Kid to recover.

A few minutes later, Kidd was still somewhat numb, but he was fully conscious.

"What kind of tricks are these?" Kidd's voice trembled slightly.

Kidd didn't think it was some kind of stun gun; stun guns don't shoot out lightning.

"I told you from the beginning, you're an exorcist."

"So? Have you considered my terms?"

Kidd remained silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I agree."

Circumstances dictate that Kidd has no choice but to accept it, even if he's unwilling; he's now at the mercy of others.

Kidd shed tears of humiliation. Since inheriting his father's mantle, he had always been high-handed and outmaneuvered the police. He had never suffered such humiliation.

"This is my home address. You can come to the top floor after 11 p.m. every night."

Kitagawa Taki wrote down the address of his agency for Kid.

"Don't forget tonight, or I'll come find you in Ekoda." Kitagawa Taki gave a kind smile.

'Damn it!' Kidd knew that Kitagawa Taki was threatening him.

Kitagawa Taki then left the computer room.

Back in the lobby.

"Taki, where are you going?" Sonoko asked with concern when she saw Kitagawa Taki return.

"I went after Kaito Kid, but unfortunately he still got away." Kitagawa Taki said with a regretful expression.

"Kaito Kid?" everyone exclaimed.

"Yes, the Phantom Thief Kid is actually Sanada Ichizo. The real Sanada Ichizo is probably sleeping somewhere right now."

Suzuki Tomoko exclaimed in surprise, "Sanada Ichizo is Kaito Kid? Then how did you discover him, Kitagawa?"

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Ai Haibara: "He wants to take away the Dark Star from Ai."

Ai Haibara took the Dark Star off, put it back in the box, and returned it to Tomoko Suzuki.

Tomoko Suzuki gave Taki Kitagawa an approving look. "Kitagawa, you're very good!"

Chapter 66 Give Kidd a magical shock

Tokyo Port.

Sonoko was not with the others.

Tomoko Suzuki sent a car to take Kogoro Mouri and Conan, while Taki Kitagawa drove the girls back to the agency.

……

The Suzuki family.

Tomoko Suzuki, Shiro Suzuki, and Ayako Suzuki sat in a row, while Sonoko sat opposite them, giving the impression of a three-way trial.

Sonoko swallowed hard. "Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"

Tomoko Suzuki, her face stern, said, "Sonoko, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Kitagawa?"

"Friend..."

At this moment, Sonoko finally felt her mother's aura.

"Really?" Tomoko Suzuki's eyes seemed to want to devour Sonoko alive.

Sonoko forced herself to answer, "Really."

“You are my child, do you think I can’t see through your intentions?” Tomoko Suzuki retorted.

Suzuki Shiro, who was standing nearby, tried to smooth things over, saying, "Sonoko is so old now, we should let her make these decisions herself."

Tomoko Suzuki didn't reply, but instead looked at Ayako Suzuki beside her. "Ayako, do you know the inside story?"

Ayako Suzuki shook her head, choosing to cover for her sister.

Seeing this, Tomoko Suzuki said in a deep voice, "Sonoko, come with me."

The two went to the garden's room together.

Sonoko lowered her head, already prepared to be scolded.

But Tomoko Suzuki brought up something else, "The Dark Star, I originally planned to wear it myself, Sonoko, do you know why I changed my mind at the last minute and gave it to that little girl?"

Sonoko was in no mood to think about that right now, and shook her head.

Tomoko Suzuki slowly said, "First, the moment I saw that little girl, I felt that her temperament was very suitable, and a little girl wouldn't easily attract attention; second, I wanted to see if Kitagawa could identify the true Dark Star and protect it."

"Huh?" Sonoko was a little confused. Did her mother want to test Taki?

Tomoko Suzuki laughed and said, "As it turns out, he did it, and he did it quite well."

Sonoko's worries instantly turned to joy. She finally understood that her mother was using a praising-before-suppressing tactic!

"Mom doesn't mean to stop you from dating, but my son-in-law of the Suzuki family certainly can't be a mediocre person. In the end, this family business will still fall on your shoulders."

"Sonoko, how far have things progressed between you and Kitagawa?"

"Mom, why are you asking these questions?" Sonoko asked shyly.

Tomoko Suzuki said meaningfully, "There are some things you can do, but you need to be careful. You're still a student."

"Mom—" Sonoko blushed deeply at Suzuki Tomoko's lewd words.

"Just know it yourself." Tomoko Suzuki smiled.

……

Kitagawa Exorcism Office.

"Did Phantom Thief Kid really escape?"

Because Ran was there, Ai Haibara didn't ask anything in the car.

She watched as Kitagawa Taki controlled Kaito Kid as he left the hall.

“That’s right, just like you think. I let him go on purpose because I still need to take something from him.” Kitagawa Taki smiled mysteriously.

"What is that?" Ai Haibara couldn't help but ask.

"You'll see when the time comes, hehe." Kitagawa Taki suddenly thought of a brilliant use.

"Ew—" Ai Haibara quickly took a few steps away, feeling that Kitagawa Taki's smile was lewd.

Akemi Miyano smiled and shook her head; Taki Kitagawa was teasing Ai again.

……

It's 11 p.m.

roof.

"You're pretty punctual." Kitagawa Taki looked at Kid, who was already waiting on the rooftop.

Kidd pursed his lips. Although there was nothing he could do, he would definitely keep his promise since he had made it.

"By the way, how did you know that Dark Star was with Ai?" Kitagawa Taki asked curiously.

Kidd said calmly, "I can tell the authenticity of any gem with just one glance."

"So powerful? Actually, we're not enemies. As long as you don't steal from the Suzuki family, I won't bother stopping you."

Kidd's lips twitched. Who could possibly bypass the Suzuki family when they had such a large collection of gems?

“I didn’t steal it. I always did it openly and honestly, and I always returned it in the end.”

"And I admit defeat this time, but next time... you can try again."

Kidd made up his mind that when he got back this time, he would ask Grandpa Terai to upgrade his equipment and get some powerful new equipment.

"Looks like you haven't given up yet! But I was serious about what I just said. Even though you said you'd return it in the end, your high-profile actions are a slap in the face to the Suzuki family! I had no choice."

Kitagawa Taki looked helpless.

'Damn it!' Kidd thought to himself, determined to get revenge next time.

However, he always kept his father's teaching of "poker face" in mind, so he always tried to keep a calm expression on his face.

"Alright, let's get down to business today!"

In terms of disguise and voice-changing skills, Kidd is indeed at a top level.

Kidd slowly said, "Voice changing involves the resonance of the vocal organs and cavities. First, one must master and become familiar with cavity resonance to achieve voice changes..."
