Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

Kitagawa Taki was about to speak when he noticed that Conan's breathing rhythm had changed.

But he did not forget that there were two people lying on the ground. While talking to Vermouth, he kept paying attention to Conan.

Kitagawa Taki made a silencing gesture to indicate to Vermouth that Conan had woken up.

Conan just woke up and heard the word "secret".

After there was no movement, Conan even opened his eyes a little, but only saw Kitagawa Taki confronting a blonde woman.

Because Vermouth had her back to him, he couldn't see Vermouth's face.

Beichuan Taki walked towards Conan, patted Conan's face hard, and said: "Is this kid going to die?"

Conan was confused and woke up at the right time.

However, Vermouth had already disguised herself again and turned into the young Mrs. Nishimura.

When Conan saw the blonde woman turn into a black-haired woman, he wondered for a moment if he had just woken up and his eyes were wide open.

But then he realized that this woman must have changed her appearance!

Conan rubbed his temples; his head still hurt a little.

Beichuan Taki said bluntly: "Are you awake? You are not honest, if we hadn't discovered the secret passage, you would have died!"

The woman just now probably didn't expect that a child would break in, and she was probably still struggling over whether to kill Conan. You know, when facing the two of them, the woman didn't hold back at all.

When Conan heard what Kitagawa Taki said, he realized that there was an old woman lying on the ground.

He realized that he had just been attacked from behind by this man.

"Thank you." No matter what, as Kitagawa Taki said, he was indeed saved by Kitagawa Taki this time.

After thanking her, Conan pointed his finger at Vermouth, "Auntie, you are not the owner of this house, are you?"

Conan now understood everything. The old woman on the ground was the owner of the house, and the person in the cell was her son.

Five years ago, the one who killed the male owner was either the female owner or her son.

Perhaps he imprisoned his son because he was a witness.

Or perhaps because she didn't want her son to be caught, the heroine locked her son in a cage.

"Ah, little boy, who are you?" Vermouth implicitly admitted that she was not the hostess.

"Edogawa Conan is a detective!"

Conan regretted it after he finished speaking. He didn't even know the identity of the woman in front of him. What if she was a member of the Black Organization? Wouldn't that alert the woman?

According to his speculation, Kitagawa Taki is likely to be related to the Black Organization.

"detective?"

Vermouth smiled and thought of a detective boy - Kudo Shinichi.

However, as far as she knew, Kudo Shinichi had been fed poison by Gin, and the investigation feedback showed that he was dead!

This is also one of the reasons why Vermouth returned to Japan. Kudo Shinichi is the son of her good friend, so she wants to confirm it herself.

Conan added: "Hehe, I really like playing detective games."

Vermouth looked at Conan meaningfully. The child's behavior and expression just now were beyond the scope of a child.

If it were a normal child, he would have been scared and looked for his mother by now.

Conan's heart trembled. Who on earth was this woman? He felt as if he had been seen through.

At this moment, the man sleeping in the cage suddenly let out a strange cry, as if he was awakened by a nightmare, and kept muttering words like "I was wrong" and "I didn't mean it".

The man obviously had mental problems. He didn't react at all when he saw so many people and was immersed in his own world.

Beichuan Taki changed the subject and said, "Let's take a look at who these two people are first."

Conan learned his lesson this time and stopped talking.

Kitagawa Taki squatted down and pinched the woman's philtrum.

The woman woke up slowly, and just as she was about to move, she felt a chill on her neck.

Beichuan Taki had already put the knife to the woman's neck, pointed at the man in the cage, and asked: "Tell me, what's going on?"

He also used a little force, and the blade embedded into the skin of the woman's neck, and trickles of blood flowed out.

Conan opened his mouth, wanting to stop Kitagawa Taki's rude behavior, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The woman felt the threat of death and told the truth tremblingly.

It turned out that five years ago, her son, Akio Nishimura, killed his father in a fit of rage. In order to prevent her son from being punished, she locked him in the basement and waited for the statute of limitations to pass.

After hearing this, Kitagawa Taki couldn't help but shook his head. What was this?

Akio Nishimura was locked up in the basement for five years and tortured to the point where he is neither human nor ghost. This is worse than a prison!

I guess those ghost stories were caused by Mrs. Nishimura entering and leaving the villa?

"Conan, you stay and call the police. We're leaving first."

After saying this, Kitagawa Taki knocked Mrs. Nishimura unconscious and pulled Vermouth out.

"Hey..." Conan wanted to follow, but after looking at the mother and son on the ground, he gritted his teeth and finally chose to stay and call the police.

Vermouth quipped, "Is it really okay to leave a child behind like this?"

Beichuan Taki said: "Don't tell me you didn't see that this kid is not an ordinary kid."

Beichuan Taki asked again: "Don't talk about this, what exactly do you want to do by coming to see me?"

"Hahaha!"

Vermouth suddenly laughed, and after a moment, said: "I came to see if you have forgotten me."

Kitagawa Taki's mouth twitched. He would not be so foolish as to believe what Vermouth said.

Vermouth walked out of the villa, waved her hand and said, "That phone number is mine!"

Then, he disappeared around the corner.

Kitagawa Taki didn't chase after him, he knew it was useless to ask any further.

He went straight back to the exorcism office.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Haibara Ai sitting on the sofa.

When Haibara Ai heard the door open, she raised her head, as if she had been waiting for Kitagawa Taki.

"How is it? What does that woman want you to do?" asked Haibara Ai with concern.

Beichuan Taki sat on the sofa and jokingly said: "Xiao Ai, are you so concerned about my romantic debts?"

Haibara Ai slapped Kitagawa Taki in annoyance, "Seriously!"

Beichuan Taki put away his smile and said seriously, "I don't know what she wants to do. That woman left without saying anything."

Huiyuan Ai glanced at Kitagawa Taki hesitantly: "Is that so?"

Seeing that Huiyuan Ai still didn't seem to believe it, Beichuan Taki said sadly: "I'm lying to you, she's not really my lover, our relationship is obviously closer!"

Huiyuan Ai blushed and said stubbornly: "I have nothing to do with you!"
