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

As soon as he left the hotel, Kitagawa Taki received a call from Mori Kogoro.

He said there was something important and asked him to go back to the hospital immediately.

Mihua Yakushino Hospital.

When Kitagawa Taki arrived, Kogoro Mouri, Conan and Inspector Megure were standing outside Xiaolan's ward.

"Brother Kitagawa, Conan feels that someone is secretly watching Xiaolan." Maori Kogoro said, "Xiaolan may have seen the murderer's appearance when Officer Sato was shot."

Officer Megure said: "I have arranged two police officers to take turns protecting Xiaolan."

Beichuan Taki thought for a moment and shook his head: "I think it's better to let Xiaolan go home and recuperate. After all, it has been confirmed that she is not injured. The hospital is crowded and the danger is even greater."

Maori Kogoro agreed: "What Kitagawa said makes sense."

Inspector Megure said, "Yes, indeed. I will have them guard downstairs at the Mori Detective Agency."

"Without further delay, I will go and complete the discharge procedures for Xiaolan."

After saying this, Kogoro Maori left.

……

Maori Detective Agency.

Xiaolan looked up at the label on the second floor and murmured: "Mouri Detective Agency..."

Maori Kogoro smiled and said: "This is your home."

Everyone went upstairs together, and Kogoro Mouri carefully introduced everyone to Xiaolan one by one.

"The second floor is my office. I usually handle cases at that desk."

"The third floor is the living area, the living room, the kitchen, and this is your room."

pop~

Kogoro Mouri turned on the light in the room.

The room is not big and the furnishings are simple, with a bed, a desk, a bookshelf, and a wardrobe. The desk is full of books.

Xiaolan noticed a photo on the desk.

"So beautiful..." A hint of color finally appeared in Xiaolan's eyes, which had lost their luster.

Kitagawa Taki picked up the photo and said, "This is a photo of you, me, and Sonoko when we went to the fireworks festival together, Xiaolan."

"This photo..." Conan felt a little bitter. He remembered that there used to be a photo of them on Xiaolan's desk. When was it changed?

Conan suddenly realized that he hadn't called Xiaolan using the identity of Kudo Shinichi for a long time.

"Sister Xiaolan, do you still remember Brother Shinichi?" Conan interrupted, feeling unbalanced.

"Shin...ichi..." Xiaolan shook her head in confusion.

"Why are you suddenly mentioning that guy, little brat?" Mouri Kogoro gave Conan a slap in the face without mercy.

He gets angry when talking about Kudo Shinichi.

"Ran, don't overthink it. Just have a good rest." Maori Kogoro said, "By the way, to celebrate Ran's discharge from the hospital, how about we have a big dinner tonight?"

Fei Yingli rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile: "Okay, then let me show you my unique cooking skills!"

Kogoro Mouri and Conan, who was covering his head, suddenly changed their expressions, as if they had encountered some ferocious beast.

Kitagawa Taki also twitched his lips. He seemed to remember that Kisaki Eri's cooking skills were very impressive.

"Huh? What's wrong with you two?" Looking at the two people's performance, the smile on Kisaki Eri's face gradually disappeared.

"What's wrong? Don't you know what you are cooking?" Kogoro Mouri said bluntly.

Kisaki Eri closed her eyes, as if suppressing her emotions.

"Ahem." Kitagawa Taki interrupted, "How about this, I show off my cooking skills and make some Chinese food for everyone to try?"

Kisaki Eri was distracted and asked in surprise: "Oh, Kitagawa, you can cook Chinese food?"

There is Chinese cuisine in Japan, but it is not authentic Chinese food. It has been modified to suit Japanese tastes.

There is also Tianjin rice, a Chinese dish created by the Japanese that actually has nothing to do with Tianjin.

"I know some home cooking. I learned it when I was studying abroad."

It’s hard to verify anyway, and studying abroad can be used as an excuse for anything.

Before Akemi Miyano came, he was too lazy to cook. After Akemi Miyano came, she took charge of cooking.

"Then we're in for a treat." Kisaki Eri said, "Also, don't forget to call your assistant and that little girl along."

Kitagawa Taki nodded.

……

kitchen.

Kitagawa Taki was cooking and several women were watching.

"You guys are putting me under a lot of pressure!" Kitagawa Taki said helplessly.

Miyano Akemi covered her mouth and laughed: "I really didn't know Taki-kun could cook!"

Kisaki Eri looked at the vegetables Kitagawa Taki had bought and asked, "How many dishes can we make with so many ingredients?"

"Seven or eight!"

After all, there were seven of them.

Kisaki Eri smiled and said, "So many, Kitagawa, you're being a bit modest when you say 'I know a little'."

More than an hour later, the eight dishes were ready and served.

Stir-fried pork with chili peppers, shredded pork with fish flavor, braised green beans, mapo tofu, stewed pork ribs with lotus root, minced meat and eggplant, stir-fried vegetables, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"Brother Beichuan, I didn't expect you to have this skill!" Maori Kogoro said, "Since this is Chinese food, it should be paired with Chinese white wine!"

As he spoke, Kogoro Maori took out the white wine that Kitagawa Taki had given him last time and poured a glass for himself and Kitagawa Taki respectively.

"Everyone, try it! See if my cooking skills have become rusty." Kitagawa Taki and Maori Kogoro clinked their glasses.

"good to eat!"

"This mapo tofu tastes completely different from Chinese cuisine!"

……

Even Conan had to admit that Kitagawa Taki was indeed good.

After meal.

Kisaki Eri suggested, "Ran, do you want to go out and relax tomorrow? How about we go to Ginza and go shopping for clothes together?"

"Yeah." Xiaolan nodded.

----

The next day.

Everyone was waiting on the platform for the train to Ginza.

"The tram is coming!"

The tram slowly pulled into the station.

Suddenly, just as the tram was about to pass in front of everyone, Xiaolan fell onto the tracks.

Kitagawa Taki was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed Xiaolan's hand and pulled her back with a little effort.

He held Xiaolan in his arms and looked back to see a man turning and leaving.

After handing Xiaolan over to Eri Kisaki, Kitagawa Taki pushed aside the people around him and chased after her.

The man seemed to have noticed Kitagawa Taki and quickened his pace.

Kitagawa Taki rushed forward, twisted the man's hand and pushed him to the ground.

"Kyousuke Fudo, it turns out the murderer is you!"

This polite guy is quite good at disguise.

Fenghu Kyosuke glanced at Kitagawa Taki with a pained look on his face: "Mr. Kitagawa...what are you doing? What kind of murderer? Assault is illegal!"

Kitagawa Taki sneered. Perhaps others didn't notice that Fenghu Kyosuke pushed Xiaolan, but he was always keeping an eye on Xiaolan.

He applied more strength to his hands, causing so much pain that Kyosuke Fuuto broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, Conan and the policeman responsible for protecting Xiaolan also rushed over.

When Fenghu Kyosuke saw the police coming, he asked for help: "Officer, please help me!"
