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

"Little sister, did you come alone as we agreed?"

"Ah."

"Okay, there's a warehouse nearby. Bring the tape up to the second floor. Two-Mix is waiting for you there!"

"I understand."

After Haibara Ai hung up the phone, she looked up at the second floor of the warehouse, then turned back to look in the direction of Kitagawa Taki.

Kitagawa Taki understood that the kidnapper was on the second floor of the building in front of him.

Afterwards, at the request of the kidnappers, Haibara Ai climbed to the second floor of the warehouse next to the telephone booth.

Kitagawa Taki walked along the wall to make sure the kidnappers couldn't see him through the second-floor window.

Ai Haibara stopped in front of the door, and he hid beside it.

"I brought the tape!" Haibara Ai knocked on the door.

The kidnapper opened the door without warning.

But the person who came towards him was not a little girl holding a tape, but Kitagawa Taki holding a gun.

"How is that possible?" The kidnapper seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

He had clearly observed on the second floor, and there was only that little girl there.

"Where's the other tall one?"

The big guy in front of him was not the tall guy that Kitagawa Taki saw in the restaurant, he could only be his accomplice.

"He... went out and should be back soon..."

The big guy was very sincere and sold his companion immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, the big guy's phone rang.

The big guy shuddered and said, "He must have hit me!"

"Take it. I don't need to teach you how to say it, do I?" Kitagawa Taki pushed the gun against the big guy's head.

Ai Haibara entered the room and untied the two people from Two-Mix.

The big guy answered the phone, trying to sound normal, "Hello, um, I've got the tape."

Then the call ended.

"He'll be back soon." the big guy explained.

Kitagawa Taki sealed his mouth with tape and tied him up with rope.

"Mr. Kitagawa and little sister, thank you for saving us both!" Takayama Minami expressed her gratitude excitedly.

Beichuan Taki waved his hand, "Thank you later! They don't have anyone else, right?"

Takayama Minami replied: "No, there are only two of them."

Within two minutes, footsteps were heard outside.

The tall kidnapper opened the door and made eye contact with the tied-up big guy.

Realizing that something was wrong, he immediately reached into his arms.

But the next second, he felt as if he was hit by a truck. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his body flew out and hit the railing in the aisle outside the door.

Kitagawa Taki took the tall man's gun and easily subdued him.

Then, they tied up the tall guy in the same way.

Beichuan Taki said: "Xiao Ai, please call the police."

"So awesome!" Takayama Minami watched Kitagawa Taki subdue the kidnapper from the side.

"But, Mr. Kitagawa, how did you get... a gun?" Takayama Minami looked at the gun in Kitagawa Taki's hand again.

"This is just a toy gun." Kitagawa Taki smiled and handed the gun to Takayama Minami.

Considering that there were still two hostages, he didn't use the real weapon.

After all, he is a law-abiding citizen.

Takayama Minami played with it for a while and said, "It really is fake."

The big kidnapper who heard the conversation between the two was obviously very angry. He was actually deceived by a fake gun?

The tall guy glared at the big guy with a look of disappointment.

Not only was this guy easily fooled, but he also fooled him in return.

If he had said something on the phone, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Kitagawa Taki tore the tape off the tall man's mouth and asked, "Why did you kidnap Two-Mix? What's in this tape?"

The tall man stared at Beichuan Taki with a resentful look and said, "Do you think I'm as spineless as this idiot?"

Without saying a word, Kitagawa Taki gave this tough guy a kick in the heart, and the tall guy's eyes widened instantly.

Then he kicked the tall guy in the face again. The tall guy fell to the ground with blood all over his face.

Nagano Shiina said, "Sir, isn't this... not a good idea?"

Takayama Minami complained, "Nagano, you still have the heart to sympathize with them! They want to kill us after getting the tape!"

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Nagano Shiina and said, "Since Mr. Nagano can't bear to watch, then go out first."

Nagano Shiina smiled awkwardly and walked out of the room.

Then, Kitagawa Taki tore off the bulky tape and asked, "What about you? Do you have anything to say?"

Seeing the miserable condition of his companion, the big guy did not resist and immediately confessed everything.

It turned out that the sound of gunfire when they shot their accomplices was written into the song by Two-Mix as the sound of fireworks.

The two guys were afraid that the police would find out, so they wanted to destroy the tape of the song, so they kidnapped Two-Mix.

After listening to this, Kitagawa Taki shook his head speechlessly. This train of thought was really incomprehensible.

Minami Takayama, the person involved, was also choked. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't imagine the reason to be like this.

……

Inspector Megure and Takagi Wataru arrived shortly afterwards.

"Brother Beichuan, what on earth is going on?"

When they received the call from Kitagawa Taki, they were still following a few children around the corner.

Kitagawa Taki suddenly said that the kidnappers had been caught and the hostages had been rescued, which made him a little confused.

Beichuan Taki explained: "The kidnappers asked that Xiao Ai deliver the tape alone, and the others take you around in circles."

"So that's how it is. This time it's all thanks to you, brother Beichuan!"

Inspector Megure shook hands with Kitagawa Taki enthusiastically.

"Where, where."

After some pleasantries, Inspector Megure arranged two police cars to take Kitagawa Taki and others back to the martial arts hall, where the audience was still waiting.

As for the record-taking, it had to be postponed.

In the car.

Kitagawa Taki brought up what happened last night again, "Can we continue the previous topic now?"

Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms and closed her eyes, "I can't."

"Well, let me guess." Beichuan Taki leaned close to Huiyuan Ai's ear and whispered: "Do you have someone you like?"

Huiyuan Ai clenched her hands and said lightly: "No."

Beichuan Taki said earnestly: "Xiao Ai, since ancient times, tsunderes have always been losers! You can't learn this!"

What loser?

Although Haibara Ai doesn't understand this meme, the meaning of loser is easy to understand.

She opened her eyes and glared at Kitagawa Taki: "I just sang a song."

Beichuan Taki rubbed his chin, "I see, you looked so depressed, and I thought you were heartbroken."

Haibara Ai rolled her eyes at Kitagawa Taki, then turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Although she looked calm on the outside, she was actually not.

She originally thought that Kitagawa Taki didn't notice, and she felt a little disappointed.

But now when Kitagawa Taki asked her, she didn't dare to admit it.

Because Kitagawa Taki is her brother-in-law, and she still looks like a child now, and it is not known when she will return to normal.

This made her feel a little distant from him...

Time passed by in Haibara Ai's complicated mood.

"Mr. Kitagawa, we're here." said the policeman driving the car.

He vaguely heard some of the conversation between the two people just now, and could only sigh that children nowadays are really precocious.

Fortunately, the two did not speak frankly, otherwise Kitagawa Taki would have been handcuffed on the spot and sent directly to the Metropolitan Police Department.
