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

Kitagawa Taki had Ai Haibara threaten Conan, firstly to make him behave, and secondly to let him understand the Black Organization and stop wandering around like a headless fly.

Yes, it's definitely not just to scare Conan.

……

new York.

Inside a luxury apartment building.

Vermouth had just finished showering and was walking out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

Under the warm lighting, Vermouth, with her cool-toned fair skin, shone like a dazzling pearl, radiating a captivating glow.

Her skin, as delicate as mutton fat jade, was enveloped in a soft light, making her already beautiful and refined face even more charming.

She walked straight to the wine cabinet and poured half a glass of wine.

buzz~

The phone on the table rang.

Vermouth picked it up and saw that it was an email sent to her by "that gentleman".

The email essentially stated that Tequila was dead and asked her to return to Japan to investigate the whereabouts of the Miyano sisters and to find the mysterious person disguised as Gin and Vodka.

After reading the email, a smile crept onto Vermouth's lips.

She put down her phone and walked to the dartboard, where two photos were pinned with darts.

It was none other than Akemi Miyano and Shiho Miyano.

Ever since they learned that the Miyano sisters had defected from the organization, the two of them have become targets.

She had no good feelings towards the Miyano family.

"Akami Miyano, Sherry..."

Vermouth took a sip of her drink and murmured.

Then, she turned around, picked up her phone, and sat down on the sofa.

Vermouth dialed Vodka's number.

Recently, Vodka has been primarily responsible for organizing matters in Japan.

Vermouth cut to the chase: "Vodka, send me the information on that mysterious man."

Vodka asked uncertainly, "Vermouth?"

However, Vermouth had already hung up the phone.

Vodka's lips twitched. This woman was really domineering! She didn't even give him a chance to speak! The key was, he really couldn't do anything about Vermouth.

He had no choice but to obediently send the relevant information to Vermouth via email.

Vermouth waited a few minutes and then received Vodka's email.

The email contained quite detailed information about the mysterious person, as it included police files related to two cases!

Vermouth lit a cigarette, her gaze lowered. This mysterious person was intriguing; investigating him wouldn't be so easy.

However, she was also tired of acting, and there was something else in Japan that she was concerned about...

Chapter 115 The Door-to-Door Request

The next day.

Underground bar.

It's worth mentioning that this bar is also a location for a winery.

Vodka sat on a table in a secluded corner of the hall.

He has already arranged a time to meet Vermouth here.

"Here's your vodka, sir."

A waiter came over and handed me a glass of vodka.

Vodka: ? ? ?

He looked up and saw that the waiter was an ordinary-looking man, but he didn't recognize him.

He knew perfectly well what kind of people were inside this bar, which was one of the organization's secret strongholds.

Vodka pushed the bottle away, saying, "I didn't order this."

To his surprise, the waiter sat down right across from him.

Vodka was about to explode in anger when he suddenly realized what was happening and tentatively asked, "Vermouth?"

"Wow, Vodka, you've gotten smarter lately!"

Vermouth ripped off her hood, and her golden hair drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Vodka was speechless. What did he mean by "becoming smarter recently"? Was he stupid before?

"Are you sure this is okay? A big star like you shouldn't be pretending, right?"

Vodka looked around as he spoke.

Beneath Vermouth's human skin mask lies the image of world-famous superstar Sharon Vineyard.

“Don’t worry, no one will notice this.” Vermouth tied her hair back. “Is there something important?”

Vodka took a cell phone out of his pocket and said, "This is Nakajima Hideaki's cell phone. When we looked for him last night, he was packing his things to run away. After some interrogation, we found out that someone had tipped him off."

"Oh? What does this have to do with me? Why don't you go and investigate?" Vermouth retorted.

Vodka choked for a moment, then explained, "The person who sent the message is anonymous, but I suspect it's that mysterious person. That guy is always going against us!"

Only after hearing what Vodka said did Vermouth take the phone.

However, she didn't think it was the mysterious person who sent the message, because Hideaki Nakajima wouldn't have much of an impact on the organization, and given the mysterious person's style, it was clear that he wouldn't save an unrelated person.

Vermouth opened her phone and glanced at the messages.

The message above is brief: The organization wants to kill you, run!

"Is that all?" Vermouth glanced at the phone and then put it away.

Vodka nodded. "Mm."

"I'm leaving now." Vermouth got up and left.

……

Let's go back to yesterday.

After Conan heard from Ai Haibara that the Black Organization might kill Hideaki Nakajima, he started thinking about how to save him.

He originally planned to use the old method—calling Inspector Megure in Shinichi Kudo's voice and asking him to remind Hideaki Nakajima.

But then he remembered Ai Haibara's words and decided that it would be best not to reveal Shinichi Kudo's identity.

Moreover, it seems there's a hidden hand within the Metropolitan Police Department as well.

Inspector Megure may be keeping it a secret for now, but the truth will eventually come out. If this continues, the news that Shinichi Kudo is still alive will surely leak out.

So he approached Professor Agasa and asked him to send an anonymous message to Hideaki Nakajima.

Upon receiving the message, Hideaki Nakajima was filled with fear and immediately packed his things, preparing to flee Beika Town.

But the Black Organization acted faster than Conan expected. Just as Hideaki Nakajima was about to leave, he ran into Vodka and his group.

Vodka first obtained a copy of the list, then interrogated Nakajima Hideaki about his reasons for wanting to escape, and finally killed him.

Conan only learned of Hideaki Nakajima's death from the news the next day.

"Damn it! It still doesn't work?!"

Conan slammed his fist on the sofa, looking resentful.

Professor Agasa comforted him, "Shinichi, you've done your best."

Conan calmed himself down and asked, "Doctor, have you noticed anything unusual about Kitagawa Taki?"

Professor Agasa, unaware of Conan's intention in asking this, thought for a moment and said, "Taki? No, he's just much more cheerful than before."

Conan agreed with this.

He felt that something must have happened during Kitagawa Taki's years studying in the United States to cause his personality change.

He has no idea what it is.

Professor Agasa asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"

"nothing."

Conan had no intention of telling Professor Agasa about Ai Haibara and Taki Kitagawa.

"By the way, Professor, could you make me a few more gadgets? I need to use shoes that enhance my leg strength, but I often don't have anything to kick around, which is really troublesome," Conan said, changing the subject.

On several occasions, he even prepared the things himself first.

Dr. Agasa pondered for a moment, "Hmm, let me think about it. If it's done, I'll contact you."

……

in the afternoon.

Kitagawa Exorcism Office.

Kitagawa Taki was playing video games on the second floor, Miyano Akemi was cooking on the third floor, and Haibara Ai was in her research lab on the fourth floor.

dong dong~

Kitagawa Taki put down the game controller and said loudly, "Please come in."

The visitor was a graceful and elegant noblewoman.

The lady asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Kitagawa Taki?"

"Yes, and who is Madam?"

Kitagawa Taki stood up and invited her to sit on the sofa.
