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

Hattori family.

Yuanshan and Ye did not follow.

Ikenami Shizuka asked, "Heiji, how did you handle this incident? Does the monster Nue really exist?"

Hattori Heiji was speechless: "Mom, when did you become so superstitious? Do you really think that guy Kitagawa can exorcise ghosts?"

Although he was shaken in his heart, he would not say it out loud.

After learning about this incident, Shizuka Ikenami persuaded Heiji Hattori to accept the village chief's commission and asked him to call Kitagawa Taki.

Hearing Hattori Heiji's complaints, Ikenami Shizuka smiled without saying anything, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Hattori Heiji had no choice but to recount the incident from beginning to end.

"So, there are no such things as monsters in this world."

Ikebo Jinghua murmured: "Is that so..."

Hattori Heiji curled his lips, folded his hands, and said, "It seems that you are very concerned about Beichuan's affairs, mom."

Ikenami Shizuka smiled softly and glanced at Hattori Heiji: "Is Heiji jealous?"

Hattori Heiji shouted, "Why would I be jealous of him?!"

Ikenami Shizuka smiled, then put away her smile and asked, "Heiji, do you think Kitagawa deduced this?"

Hattori Heiji said as a matter of course: "If it's not reasoning, what else can it be?"

He looked at the serious Ikebo Jinghua, waved his hand and said, "Mom, stop thinking about it. I'm going back to my room first."

After saying that, he left the Japanese-style room.

Ikenami Shizuka withdrew her gaze. The reason she cared about Kitagawa Taki was because of a secret she had hidden in her heart for many years...

Tokyo.

Princess Law Firm.

Kisaki Eri smiled and looked at Kuriyama Midori: "Kuriyama, have you been in love recently?"

"Ah?" Kuriyama Midori blushed and said quickly, "No, no."

Hibiki Eri's eyes shifted downwards: "You're still saying no, but you didn't buy the necklace yourself, did you?"

She knew that Midori Kuriyama had no habit of buying luxury goods, and this necklace was not cheap.

Midori Kuriyama subconsciously touched the necklace. It was a gift from Kitagawa Taki. She only knew that it should be quite expensive, but she didn't know the exact price.

“This is a gift from a friend.”

"Friend?" Kisaki Eri raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Then he must be pursuing you."

Midori Kuriyama lowered her head in embarrassment. She knew that she was just deceiving herself.

Seeing Kuriyama Midori's expression, Kisaki Eri misunderstood, "You don't have to be nervous. It's not like I don't support you falling in love. You've always done a good job at work."

After hearing what Kisaki Eri said, Kuriyama Midori felt even more guilty.

"Go."

Kuriyama Midori responded softly, then stood up and left the office.

Kisaki Eri stretched her neck and sighed slightly. Kitagawa Taki hadn't come for several days.

After Kitagawa Taki gave her a massage for the first time, he came for several consecutive days.

During those days, she got rid of all her tiredness and even her work efficiency improved.

But Kitagawa Taki suddenly stopped coming, and her life returned to its original track.

She had also sought massages from professionals, but they were never as good as Kitagawa Taki's. She always felt something was missing, but she was embarrassed to ask Kitagawa Taki to massage her.

After all, Kitagawa Taki also runs an office, so he definitely doesn't have time to come to her all the time.

She even thought about taking a roundabout route, like before, and asking Xiaolan to call Kitagawa Taki to come along.

But on second thought, she gave up.

Just when Kisaki Eri was in a dilemma, the office door suddenly opened.

Kisaki Eri was delighted, thinking that it was Kitagawa Taki who came.

Because only Kitagawa Taki, Fujimine Yukiko and Xiaolan came to her place without the need for Kuriyama Midori to inform them.

"north……"

She stopped talking in time because it was not Kitagawa Taki who came.

"Eri, I'm here to see you!"

The person who came was Yukiko Fujimine, jumping around like a little girl.

Seeing the appearance of Yukiko Fujimine, Eri Kisaki felt quite emotional. Since Yukiko had a second spring, she became younger and younger.

Kisaki Eri jokingly asked, "Yukiko, aren't you going to accompany your lover?"

"He's very busy." Yukiko Fujimine still used the same excuse.

In fact, except for the first few days, she didn't always stick to Kitagawa Taki.

As someone who has been through this, she is well aware of the truth that "distance creates beauty" and that being too close together is not beautiful.

She didn't want to talk about Beichuan Taki for fear of revealing the truth, so she changed the subject and said, "When you get off work, let's go have a cup of coffee together?"

"Sure." Kisaki Eri looked at the time.

"I know there's a new coffee shop in Beika-cho. It's pretty good." Fujimine Yukiko said mysteriously, "Don't be too surprised later."

Hibiki Eiri naturally didn't believe it and said with a smile, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Fujimine Yukiko winked playfully and said, "I'll make sure you're surprised."

Seeing how serious she was, Hibiki Eri also became interested: "Let's go, we'll go now. I've already taken care of the work."

……

The two of them came to Akiyoshi Miwako's coffee shop together.

As soon as she entered the door, Kisaki Eri's attention was attracted by Akiyoshi Miwako.

The same is true for Akiyoshi Miwako.

The two do look alike, except that Akiyoshi Miwako has short hair and Kisaki Eri has long hair. In addition, Kisaki Eri has a fuller figure.

"Eri, how's it going?"

Yukiko Fujimine gently bumped into Eri Kisaki's arm.

"Yukiko." Miwako Akiyoshi came up to greet her.

Yukiko Fujimine has been familiar with Miwako Akiyoshi for a long time.

She stepped forward and took Akiyoshi Miwako's hand: "Miwako is the owner of this coffee shop."

Then, he introduced Eri Kisaki to Miwako Akiyoshi.

The three of them soon sat together and started chatting.

"Miss Miwako was a designer for Yashiro Merchant Marine?"

Kisaki Eri was a little surprised. She had heard Xiaolan mention the sinking of the Yashiro ship, which was quite a big news.

Akiyoshi Miwako said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Kisaki Eri asked, "Does Miss Namiko know Mao Lilan and Kitagawa Taki?"

"Yes, I was on the ship in the last shipwreck."

Kisaki Eri's words resolved the doubts in her heart.

No wonder Kitagawa Taki helped her.

However, she did not feel annoyed or anything because she was treated as a substitute.

From the moment she agreed to Kitagawa Taki, she had found her place.

Fujimine Yukiko interjected, "Eri is Ran's mother."

Akiyoshi Miwako was startled and almost choked on her coffee.

Although she had accepted the fact, she had never expected such a relationship.

She took a deep breath and was surprised at Kitagawa Taki's audacity.

But soon she began to think that since Kitagawa Taki had an idea, she might be able to do something to help him.

"Are you surprised? You can't tell that Eri has a daughter that old!"

Yukiko Fujimine smiled and pinched Eri Kisaki's waist.

Eri Kisaki subconsciously shrank back and angrily slapped away Yukiko Fujimine's mischievous hand.
