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

"By the way, Ran, don't bring that kid Conan this time. He is too disobedient. Wait until he behaves himself before taking him out to play." Sonoko suggested to Ran.

Xiaolan agreed and nodded. Conan always ran around without listening to instructions. If he continued like this, he would be in danger sooner or later.

Hearing what Sonoko said, Kitagawa Taki smiled. As long as a case happens, Conan will never be honest.

"Sonoko is right. Although Conan is staying at your house, Xiaolan, you also need time for yourself."

"That's right, that's right, private space is very important." Sonoko clapped her hands, feeling that what Kitagawa Taki said made sense.

Then, Yuanzi stood up and said, "That's it. I'll go back and book that B&B. We have a large group, so we might not run out of rooms."

Xiaolan left with Sonoko.

Kitagawa Taki looked at Miyano Akemi and asked, "Akira, can you and Ai ski?"

At this time, Haibara Ai was not in the office on the second floor, but was busy in the laboratory.

Miyano Akemi shook her head and said softly, "I can't do it, and Ai probably can't do it either."

Beichuan Taki raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a gentle smile: "It's okay, I will teach you when the time comes."

Maori Detective Agency.

Xiaolan is packing things for tomorrow's trip.

Conan tilted his head and asked curiously, "Sister Xiaolan, are you going out to play?"

Xiaolan replied while packing: "Well, Sonoko and the others have an appointment to go skiing."

Hearing that Xiaolan was going out to play with Kitagawa Taki again, Conan immediately said: "I want to go too!"

"No, this time you just stay at home with your dad." Xiaolan stopped what she was doing and said with her hands on her hips.

"Why? I want to play too! Uncle Maori can't even cook." Conan said pitifully in a childish voice.

"No means no, Conan, you always don't listen to me. When you learn your lesson, I'll take you out to play!"

Xiaolan had a cold face. She felt that she had to show some dignity, otherwise Conan would always ignore her words.

"Dad can't cook, you can order takeout."

"I want to go..." Conan wanted to make a scene.

"Huh?" Xiaolan glared at Conan.

Conan immediately became timid and said dejectedly: "Okay, I won't go this time..."

Damn it! Conan felt that it must be Sonoko or Kitagawa Taki who whispered in Xiaolan's ears. Otherwise, if he had said a few nice words, Xiaolan would definitely have taken him there because of her soft heart.

Conan was a little depressed. Before, it was Kogoro Mouri who was the boss, but now even Ran has become aggressive.

……

Early the next morning.

Downstairs of the office.

Kitagawa Taki said to Miyano Akemi and Huihara Ai: "You guys take Sonoko's car, I'll go pick up Koizumi Hongzi."

Koizumi Akako? That woman is coming too?

Haibara Ai didn't know that Koizumi Akako would come today. She always felt that this woman was dangerous.

"I'll just take your car." Huibara Ai said lightly.

After saying that, Haibara Ai sat in the passenger seat.

Beichuan Taki put on his seat belt and joked, "Children can't sit in the passenger seat."

Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms and said, "Do you treat me like a child?"

Kitagawa Taki laughed silently, started the car and drove towards Koizumi Hongzi's villa.

Huiyuan Ai asked: "Who is that Koizumi Hongzi? Have you figured it out? She gives me a dangerous feeling."

So that's why she followed him. Kitagawa Taki glanced at Haibara Ai out of the corner of his eye.

"She's a witch."

Huiyuan Ai was a little stunned: "Witch?! Magic?"

"Is there really magic in this world?"

Beichuan Taki didn't want Huiyuan Ai to think too much, "That's right, but don't worry, she can't do anything to me."

After hearing what Kitagawa Taki said, Haibara Ai felt a little more at ease.

Living in the Black Organization for a long time made her somewhat sensitive to danger.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the villa.

Koizumi Hongzi was waiting at the door, and Kitagawa Taki got out of the car to help Koizumi Hongzi put away her suitcase.

"Thank you." Koizumi Hongzi was about to open the passenger door when she found Haibara Ai sitting inside, so she had to sit in the back seat.

On the way, Kitagawa Taki asked: "Ms. Hongzi, do you know that the Snow Woman really exists?"

Koizumi Akako seemed to know a lot about these things, and he felt that Koizumi Akako might know something.

"I don't know." Koizumi Hongzi answered simply.

Seeing that Kitagawa Taki was a little disappointed, Koizumi Hongzi added: "However, I have seen it in the ancient books at home. According to the description in the book, she should exist, but everyone who has seen her is dead!"

"so smart?"

Kitagawa Taki felt that he was still quite weak now, and it would be embarrassing if he encountered someone he couldn't defeat.

If it really comes to that, the best option is to leave.

"It's okay. With Master Hongzi here, it's easy to capture a little snow girl."

"Oh hahaha!"

Koizumi Akako covered her mouth and laughed out loud, without paying any attention to Haibara Ai in front of her.

Time passed as the two of them chatted, and Haibara Ai never interrupted from beginning to end.

……

Three-day town.

After arriving, everyone first bought some ski equipment in the town, including goggles, safety gear, etc.

Afterwards, everyone drove up the mountain to the B&B.

After about a few dozen minutes, a small self-built house came into view.

The name of the B&B is "Genbei's B&B". There are only five rooms in total. Except for one room for the elderly couple, only four rooms are rented out. The decoration is also in old Japanese style.

When everyone was almost at the door, they saw two women who looked somewhat similar talking to the old couple.

"Hey, that person seems to be Akiko Kinoshita!" Xiaolan exclaimed.

"Who is Akiko Kinoshita?" Sonoko thought about it, but had no impression.

Miyano Akemi answered for Xiaolan: "It's the actress who starred in "The Love of the Snow Woman"!"

Snow girl?

Beichuan Taki had a strange look on his face. "Is she playing the Snow Woman?"

"Yeah, because of this drama, she's become quite popular recently."

It seems that Akemi Miyano sees it quite often.

Xiaolan walked up and greeted the two people: "Hello, are you Miss Kinoshita Akiko?"

Kinoshita Akiko nodded, "Yes."

"I particularly like your performance in 'The Snow Woman's Love', especially the scene where you jumped into the lake with such determination at the end."

Although this drama is about the Snow Woman, it is actually not scary, so Xiaolan can watch it.

Kinoshita Akiko pointed to the woman next to her and said with a smile: "Actually, it was Yoko who did the last jump, not me."

The woman introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Yoko Asanuma, and I'm a stuntman."

Xiaolan said: "Ah, so that's how it is."

At this time, the old man next to him asked, "Excuse me, are you Miss Suzuki Sonoko?"

Sonoko stepped forward, "I am."

The old man smiled and said, "I guessed it was you. Your rooms are ready. They are the three rooms next to each other at the end of the corridor."

The old man's name is Kitamura Genbei and his wife is Kitamura Kayo. They run this small B&B together.
