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

The second floor.

Kitagawa Taki met Koizumi Hongzi, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

Kitagawa Taki made a cup of tea for Koizumi Hongzi and asked, "Ms. Hongzi, what have you been busy with recently?"

But I was wondering in my heart, could it be that Koizumi Akako has tinkered with some weird props again?

Koizumi Hongzi pointed at herself and said, "Look at how I've changed."

"No~"

Kitagawa Taki looked him up and down.

Koizumi Akako wore a white cardigan with a half-high collar shirt and a blue plaid long skirt.

"More beautiful."

Koizumi Hongzi covered her mouth and laughed, "What you said is correct, but it's not what I wanted to say."

"Don't you realize I've become stronger?"

"Since I came back last time, I have been cultivating my spiritual power!"

"I see. No wonder I haven't seen you recently." Kitagawa Taki nodded. If Koizumi Akako hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have noticed.

"By the way, Miss Hongzi, did you come to see me for something?"

Koizumi Hongzi smiled mysteriously and took out an invitation letter from her bag.

"this is?"

Kitagawa Taki picked it up and took a look. It turned out to be an invitation to a charity event for orphans who had been killed in traffic accidents.

However, he didn't understand what Koizumi Hongzi wanted to do with this.

Koizumi explained, "The founder of this event, Sufang Hongzi, has a very interesting collection. She will invite participants to her home this week, so I would like to invite you to come along."

Beichuan Taki asked curiously: "Interesting things? What are they?"

Koizumi Hongzi kept it a secret, "You'll know when the time comes."

Kitagawa Taki also became curious, so he said: "Okay, then let's go together! Can you bring someone with you?"

Koizumi Hongzi winked playfully and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

……

the next day.

Kitagawa Taki drove to pick up Koizumi Hongzi.

Koizumi Hongzi looked into the empty car and asked, "Aren't you going to bring someone with you?"

Beichuan Taki said casually: "Oh, they are not coming."

Koizumi Hongzi sat in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and said, "It's good not to come. It might be dangerous."

As Koizumi Hongzi's words became more and more exaggerated, Kitagawa Taki couldn't help but ask, "Danger? What on earth is that?"

"It won't be long before we know."

Koizumi Hongzi set up the car navigation while speaking.

Kitagawa Taki shook his head helplessly. This woman is really good at hiding.

After Koizumi Hongzi finished setting up the navigation, Beichuan Taki took a look and said, "It's inside the mountains again."

He had a premonition that something was probably going to happen again.

"There's nothing I can do. Although the mountains are remote, they are quiet."

Koizumi Akako's own castle is located deep in the mountains and forests.

……

Along the way, the two chatted casually.

At a bend, Kitagawa Taki braked suddenly and stopped the car.

I saw a white car parked in the middle of the road in front of me, and there was a fallen tree on the road ahead.

"What are you doing? This is too dangerous."

The driver opened the car door and a familiar voice was heard.

It was Kogoro Mori.

Xiaolan, who was in the passenger seat, also got out of the car and patted her chest: "Why is this tree lying across the middle of the road?"

Seeing that it was Xiaolan, Kitagawa Taki also got out of the car.

I didn't see Conan. I guess that guy is still lying in the hospital.

"Brother Maori, Ran!"

Maori Kogoro turned around and said in surprise: "Brother Kitagawa?! Why are you here too?"

"Taki..." Just as Xiaolan was about to say hello, she saw Koizumi Hongzi get out of the car.

What's going on? Taki and Hongzi are actually out alone?

Xiaolan's mind was filled with questions.

Koizumi Akako greeted Xiaolan very naturally.

Kitagawa Taki explained: "We came here at the invitation of Ms. Sufang Hongzi."

Maori Kogoro said: "Isn't that a coincidence? We are here too! If we had known earlier, we would have gone together and saved ourselves the trouble of renting a car."

"That's right." Beichuan Taki smiled, then looked at the fallen tree and said, "Brother Maori, what's going on?"

Maori Kogoro was quite angry: "I don't know where the tree came from and blocked the road. We almost hit it."

At this time, Xiaolan exclaimed: "There is something up there!"

Koizumi Hongzi took down a piece of paper stuck on the tree trunk and read it: "Don't attend Sufang Hongzi's charity party, or you will regret it. Curse the Masked Messenger."

Kitagawa Taki took it, looked at it, and handed it to Mouri Kogoro.

The words above were obviously cut out from a newspaper. It seems that the person who sent the warning letter is very experienced.

Maori Kogoro pinched his chin and analyzed: "So, someone deliberately put the tree in the middle, just to prevent us from attending this party!"

"Hehe, I'm going anyway even though I'm not allowed to. I want to see what I'll regret." Kogoro Mouri waved his hand and said disdainfully.

Kitagawa Taki didn't take this threat seriously. He and Koizumi Akako were here, so even if there was some mysterious power, he believed they would be able to deal with it.

"I'll move the tree out of the way, and then we'll be off."

As he said that, Kitagawa Taki picked up the tree and threw it to the side of the road.

Seeing this scene, Kogoro Mouri, who was originally about to come over to help, stopped.

"Brother Beichuan, you are really strong!"

To be honest, Kogoro Mouri has not seen Kitagawa Taki's skills, but judging from his strength alone, he should not be weak.

Beichuan Taki said casually: "This tree is dead, it's not very heavy."

The road was lined with leafless trees, creating a dark mass of darkness. Adding to the hazy fog in the distance, it felt quite creepy.

"let's go."

Afterwards, several people got into their cars and continued to head towards Sufang Hongzi's villa.

In the car, Koizumi Hongzi said with interest: "Xiaolan just asked me why I came out with you."

Kitagawa Taki looked strange. Could it be that Xiaolan was jealous?

As God knows, he and Koizumi Hongzi are now innocent.

"Oh hahahaha!"

Koizumi Hongzi laughed her signature laugh and teased: "Maybe in her eyes, we have become a couple."

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Koizumi Hongzi out of the corner of his eye and said nothing.

Seeing that Kitagawa Taki ignored her, Koizumi Hongzi suddenly felt bored and stopped talking.

After about half an hour, the group finally arrived at their destination.

Driving into the courtyard, what comes into view is a very long villa.

There were already several cars in the yard.

After getting out of the car, Maori Kogoro exclaimed: "This mansion is really big!"

Suddenly, Maori Kogoro exclaimed, pointed at a person next to a black car in the yard and said, "That's the home run king Matsudaira Mamoru!"

A dark-skinned man named Matsudaira Mamoru heard the commotion and came over.

"Aren't you the famous detective, Maori Kogoro?"

Maori Kogoro had no idea what modesty was and laughed out loud, "Yes, you are invited to the party too?"

At this time, a taxi drove in.

A beautiful woman with long black hair got out of the car.
