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

the next day.

the mall.

Kitagawa Taki was shopping with a few women.

Sonoko asked curiously: "Ai, do you use these things too? Why don't I seem to have seen them before?"

These things are the Prada bag that Kitagawa Taki bought specially for Haibara Ai, as well as the new Fusai wallet and so on.

Kitagawa Taki had flipped through Haibara Ai's fashion magazine and took note of a few things she had circled.

Of course, he would not show favoritism. He gave gifts to everyone, including Sonoko, Ran, and Miyano Akemi.

Huiyuan Ai said: "I don't use it outside."

Miyano Akemi said: "Ai just likes these adult things."

"Xiao Ai has good taste, these things seem very suitable."

Xiaolan thinks they match Haibara Ai's temperament very well.

The few of them chatted and walked towards the parking lot.

……

in the car.

"There is a banquet at the Sakurasaku Hotel tomorrow night. Do you want to go?" Sonoko looked at everyone and asked.

Xiaolan asked, "Hey, what party?"

Sonoko said, "It is said that the princess of the Kingdom of Besbania will come."

Xiaolan exclaimed: "Princess?"

A look of longing appeared in his eyes.

Sonoko explained, "Yes, the Queen was supposed to come, but something unexpected happened. The Queen and the Prince died in an accident a week ago."

"Ah? How could this happen?"

Xiaolan was originally very envious, but now she feels a little sorry for the princess.

Miyano Akemi was surprised: "A week ago? Then why did the princess come to the banquet?"

"Maybe there's some vested interest involved, so the princess has to come!"

As Haibara Ai spoke, she took out her cell phone and searched for the Princess of Besbania.

"There is no information about this princess on the Internet."

Sonoko said, "Of course, since the princess has never appeared in public."

Kitagawa Taki said: "So this banquet will be her first time appearing in public?"

Sonoko replied, "Yes, what do you think? Let's go and have a look?"

"can."

Kitagawa Taki could see that Sonoko and Xiaolan were both very interested.

Xiaolan hesitated and said, "But I have a karate training appointment tomorrow night..."

Then, he looked at Yuanzi and asked, "Yuanzi, what time does the banquet start?"

"Seven o'clock."

Xiaolan sighed softly, "Then I can come later, after training."

Sonoko asked, "Ran, do you really have to participate in karate training?"

Xiaolan said embarrassedly: "Because I have already made an appointment..."

----

The next day around six o'clock in the evening.

The SAKURASAKU Hotel has attracted many celebrities.

Kitagawa Taki, Miyano Akemi, Haibara Ai, Sonoko, Mori Kogoro, and Conan were standing in the crowd.

Kogoro Mouri was wearing a flashy white suit and his eyes were scanning the crowd.

Seeing this, Yuanzi asked curiously: "Uncle Maori, are you looking for someone?"

Conan was wearing his usual blue suit, his hands in his pockets, "Needless to say, he's definitely looking for Okino Yoko."

Sonoko shook her head, thinking that Kogoro Mouri could not change his character.

Haibara Ai looked around and said, "It's really different when Her Royal Highness the Princess attends the banquet. There are quite a few bodyguards."

Sonoko lowered her voice and said, "I heard that many people are against this princess! Because they don't agree with the young princess taking the throne!"

Besbania is a monarchy. Since both the queen and the prince are dead, the princess has to take the throne, but there is a lot of opposition in the country.

Why can't we hand over the country to a little girl? Why abolish the monarchy?

An anti-princess organization was even established.

"This princess is in a bad situation!"

Kitagawa Taki stroked his chin and glanced at the crowd.

A woman with an exaggerated figure caught his attention. She was obviously wearing a simple disguise.

The woman keenly noticed Kitagawa Taki's gaze and raised her red wine glass to greet Kitagawa Taki.

Kitagawa Taki also raised his glass and took a sip of wine.

……

Seven o'clock.

"Dear guests, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please give a warm round of applause to welcome today's special guest—Princess Mira Juliati Vesbarand of the Kingdom of Besbania."

The host on the stage spoke in both English and Japanese.

The official language of the Kingdom of Besbania is English.

Amidst applause, Princess Mira and a bodyguard came on stage.

Kitagawa Taki's eyes widened, "Xiaolan?"

Yuanzi was also surprised: "She really looks like Lan!"

Miyano Akemi nodded silently. This princess looked so much like Xiaolan.

After a brief moment of surprise, Maori Kogoro said calmly: "Ran wouldn't dress like this."

Beichuan Taki couldn't help but scan it with his spiritual sense.

Well, a little more interesting than Xiaolan.

The hair color is slightly lighter and the eye color is different. Princess Mira's eye color is light blue.

Also, as Kogoro Mori said, Princess Mira was dressed gorgeously, wearing expensive necklaces, earrings, and a choker inlaid with gems.

There's just a device inside the choker, which seems to be a tracker.

After the host introduced Princess Mila, he asked, "Princess Mila, could you say a few words for us?"

But Princess Mira didn't react at all and sat on the stage with a sullen face.

Seeing this, the bodyguard behind her stepped forward, picked up the microphone and said: "Princess Mira is very happy about her first visit to Japan!"

He was indeed very "happy", and it was almost written on his face.

But it's also normal. A little girl like this has just lost her mother and brother, and people in her country are very opposed to her. She has to come out to deal with such an occasion. It would be strange if she could be happy.

There are two seats next to the princess, which should be prepared for the original queen and prince.

The host was also embarrassed, but had to continue according to the procedure, "Your Highness, is there any place you would like to visit in Japan?"

"Princess Mira really wants to visit Kyoto." The bodyguard answered again.

"Is there any Japanese food you like?"

The bodyguard said: "The princess loves sushi."

……

The host finished the previous segment drenched in sweat.

"Then, Princess Mira will give us a toast. Everyone, please raise your glasses!"

A sommelier pushed the wine onto the stage and poured a glass for the princess.
