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

After listening to Kitagawa Taki's "reasoning", Hattori Heiji was a little shocked.

He didn't do anything this time, and Kitagawa Taki had already solved the case.

He said with suspicion, "Kitagawa, you didn't already know that the murderer was Masuko Fumie, did you?"

Beichuan Taki spread his hands and said, "How is that possible? I just found out about it."

Tsurumi Hajime stepped forward and asked, "Wait a minute, what are those fires?"

He is the person here who most hopes that monsters are real, except for Kitagawa Taki.

Beichuan Taki opened the drawer and said, "This is it."

"What is this?" Hattori Heiji looked at the round balls wrapped in paper in the drawer and reached out to take them.

Kitagawa Taki warned: "Be careful, it contains sodium."

Hattori Heiji immediately retracted his hand. He had just taken the bottle and his hand was still wet. If a reaction occurred, he would be doomed.

Kitagawa Taki continued, "Just throw the sodium into the bushes and spray it with water from that bottle. It's night time, so it's hard to notice."

Yuanshan and Ye asked weakly, "Where is that huge monster?"

"It's that golden hair, but it's wearing a monster skin."

Afterwards, Kitagawa Taki recounted the monster's complete trick.

"That's the method. As for the motive, I suspect it's related to the accident sixteen years ago. I can just ask her when she wakes up."

"The rope...the rope, I found it." Takekuma Donsuke ran back panting.

Kitagawa Taki took the rope and tied up Masuko Shie.

Tsurumi Hajime whispered to Toyama and Ye, "Who exactly is this Mr. Kitagawa? How come he's even better than a famous detective?"

"Well... he is also a famous detective." Toyama Kazuha looked at Hattori Heiji who was frowning. Although she despised Kitagawa Taki, she had to admit that he seemed to be a little better than Heiji.

"I see." Tsurumi Hajime nodded.

After tying up Masuko Shie, Kitagawa Taki was too lazy to wait and directly poured water on her to wake her up.

As soon as Masuko Fumie woke up and saw Kitagawa Taki, she wanted to shout.

"Stop shouting, your secret has been exposed." Kitagawa Taki gestured for her to look at the things on the table.

Zeng Zishihui turned around and his face instantly turned gloomy.

Seeing this, Takekuma Donsuke asked, "Ms. Masuko... did you really do this?"

After a moment's silence, Masuko Shie admitted her crime: "That's right! I did it!"

Then she revealed a shocking revelation: "Because they watched me die! Charles Abel is my husband."

Tsurumi Hajime quickly asked, "Are those two also from the excavation team?"

Masuko Shie nodded. "When the landslide happened, they abandoned my husband and fled. He could have been saved."

Takekuma Donsuke took out the note and said hesitantly, "But, but, there's nothing we can do about it... After all, your husband wrote something as horrifying as the Nue."

When disaster strikes, it is understandable that everyone runs for their lives.

Masuko Fumie explained: "He didn't write 鵺, but the Japanese word for '铁的'. He didn't know what a hairpin was, so he just wrote 'てつの' because he wanted to ask what it was. The oil-based marker seeped through to the back, and when you look at it horizontally, it becomes 'nue'."

Beichuan Taki was completely bewildered. He was about to be buried, and yet he was still asking about this? His train of thought was incomprehensible.

Hattori Heiji understood and smiled confidently, saying, "You took advantage of their misunderstanding to call them here, right? You deliberately wrote in the letter that Charles found an iron urn, and they came here for the treasure."

"If they hadn't come, I would have let them go." Zeng Zishi smiled coldly and said, "But these two guys still came."

Hattori Heiji continued to ask, "Isn't it that you invited the detective here to have him prove that the monster is real?"

Kitagawa Taki shook his head. If you want to invite someone, you should invite someone who is less famous, right?

Masuko Fumie glanced at Kitagawa Taki and said, "I just didn't expect Mr. Kitagawa to see through it so quickly."

Tsurumi Hajime pointed at himself and wondered, "Wait, then why did they call me, a completely unrelated reporter?"

Zengzi Shihui said coldly, "I just happened to see the awful report you wrote and thought it was interesting, so I asked you to come."

Then, her tone softened again: "This time, let's write a good report on this incident."

Not right.

Kitagawa Taki looked at the two of them and took a closer look. Their eyes were quite similar, and Tsurumi Hajime was a mixed-race. Could it be?

Hattori Heiji's eyes fixed on him and he asked, "Ms. Masuko, he should be your son, right?"

Masuko Fumie did not answer.

Hattori Heiji continued, "Another legend about the Nue is that it is said that Minamoto no Yorimasa's mother transformed herself into the Nue in order to encourage her son to achieve military success."

Tsurumi Hajime's expression changed drastically, and he asked anxiously, "Is what he said true?"

"How can it be!"

After saying this, Zeng Zishi closed his eyes and ignored everyone.

Seeing that Masuko Shie denied it, Tsurumi Hajime lost his judgment for a moment.

Beichuan Taki shook his head and said, "Alright, everyone go back to your rooms! We'll talk after the police arrive."

Judging from Masuko Fumie's reaction, it's probably true.

……

Not long after Kitagawa Taki returned to his room, there was a knock on the door.

I originally thought it was Rena Mizunashi, but unexpectedly it was Kazuha Toyama.

As soon as the door opened, she looked into the room.

Beichuan Taki laughed dumbly: "Don't look, I'm the only one in there."

Yuanshan Heye's pretty face flushed, and she stammered, "You and... Miss Mizuno?"

Kitagawa Taki pulled her into the room and slammed the door shut.

"Hey——" Toyama Kazuha panicked, frightened by Kitagawa Taki's sudden action, "What are you going to do?"

Kitagawa Taki suppressed his smile and looked her up and down. The girl with disheveled hair and pretty eyes had a unique charm.

Staring at Yuanshan Heye until she was about to take action, Beichuan Taki finally said, "Nothing, I just don't want others to hear."

Yuanshan Heye breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed a little.

Beichuan Taki stroked his chin and teased: "He Ye, why are you so concerned about my affairs? Are you saying that to me?"

"What?" Yuanshan and Ye were embarrassed and angry.

How could she possibly fall in love with a playboy like Kitagawa Taki?

Yuanshan Heye glared at Beichuan Taki: "I just feel sorry for Xiaolan. Are you doing this to Xiaolan?"

Beichuan Taki raised his eyebrows: "What did I do?"

Yuanshan Heye turned his head and looked aside: "You... know it in your heart!"

How did she get it out of her mouth?

Beichuan Taki smirked and said, "Then why don't you tell Xiaolan?"

It's quite fun to tease little girls occasionally.

"I, I..." Yuanshan Heye's face turned red.

"Are you afraid that I'll tell others about what you did? Actually, that's human nature, it's perfectly normal. Isn't it just..."

Before Kitagawa Taki could finish his words, he was interrupted by Toyama Kazuha.

"do not talk!"

She covered her face and ran straight back to her room.
