Robert's expression was extremely sorrowful, and even a cold-blooded person like Shinichi Takeda couldn't help but be moved by it.

Even if he was faking it, he had to pretend to be very sympathetic. After all, this was his future sugar daddy, so how could he let the other party lose face at this moment?

So, without waiting for Takeda Yuzo's reply, Takeda Shinichi spoke up and made the decision for him:

“Robert is right. Yongsan, give him the key. The moonlight should be shining into the valley right now. The scenery over there is beautiful. Let the children go and have a look.”

"Really, Robert? Can we come along too?"

Upon hearing that they could see the beautiful moonlight, Toyama Kazuha became excited.

Robert smiled and nodded at her: "Of course you can come along, as long as Hattori-san doesn't have any objections."

Upon hearing this, Kazuha Toyama immediately looked at Heiji Hattori with anticipation. Although she didn't say anything, her expression clearly conveyed what she wanted to say.

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji's face darkened and turned away.

"Hmph, you women are such a hassle. Fine, if you want to go, then go. You two can go together with that Miss Haibara."

"Good!"

Upon receiving permission, Kazuha Toyama became excited, but when she turned her gaze to Ai Haibara, the little girl shook her head: "Sorry, I'm not interested in this kind of thing, so you guys can go, you don't need to take me with you."

"Huh? How could this happen..."

Kazuha Toyama immediately felt dejected. She knew that if Ai Haibara didn't go, it would seem very strange for her to go alone.

As for persuading Heiji...

Well, this clueless guy has nothing but the case on his mind right now, how could he possibly accompany her to see the beautiful moonlight?

Thinking about this, Toyama Kazuha became even more depressed.

However, at that moment, Kitagawa Isao suddenly spoke up.

"Going to see the moonlight? That sounds interesting, Mr. Robert. I hope I won't bother you if I go with you?"

"How could that be?" Robert shrugged. "It would be a great honor if Mr. Kitagawa would like to come along. Let's set off together after Miss Ye finishes eating. I need to prepare the offerings we'll be using later."

"no problem."

Kitagawa Isao nodded, which was considered an agreement, and Toyama Kazuha, upon hearing this, quickly sped up his eating.

However, on the other side...

At this moment, Ai Haibara's face was filled with astonishment.

The little guy never expected that, despite his confidence, he would be betrayed without mercy by Kitagawa Isao.

Didn't this guy hear me just now?

She clearly said she didn't want to go, so why did Kitagawa agree?

Now she's left all alone in the Takeda family mansion, how is she supposed to stay here?!

Thinking of this, Ai Haibara's eyes gradually became resentful. She wanted to remind this careless man, but then she remembered her indifferent expression when she refused him earlier.

If she were to ask to go over now, it would make her lose face in front of Kitagawa Isao.

It was as if she insisted on following Kitagawa-san, which made Ai Haibara feel embarrassed to talk about it.

So the little girl didn't want to eat anymore. After putting down her chopsticks, she stared intently at Kitagawa Isao, constantly sending dangerous signals with her gaze.

At the same time, Kitagawa Isao, who had already mastered the skill of 'malice perception', suddenly shuddered and turned around blankly. After a moment of eye contact with Haibara Ai's gloomy eyes, he immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly asked:

"Um, Ai, I'm going out with Robert and Kazuha later. You'll probably be bored staying in the room by yourself, right? Why don't you come with us and go for a walk? Kids should act like kids. Go out and play, that way we won't have come for nothing, right?"

"Oh, is that so?"

Having found a way out, Ai Haibara nodded lightly, "Since Kitagawa-nii, you've said so, then I'll go with you to take a look. I've just finished eating and need to take a walk to digest."

Hmph, Kitagawa-kun, you're smart to know what's good for you!

As she silently murmured a phrase to herself, a faint smile appeared on Ai Haibara's face.

She knew that her Kitagawa brother would never leave her alone outside. She was just a little slow to react, but he was quite satisfied with her follow-up!

Thinking of this, Ai Haibara's gaze softened, and having already put down her chopsticks, she simply stopped eating.

After saying a few words to Kitagawa Isao, she went back to her room, found two coats and took them with her, then leisurely walked to the courtyard, preparing to board the car and embark on her journey...

……

Misa Takeda's grave is located in a valley halfway up the mountain. The terrain here is rugged, and the visibility is poor at night, so Robert, who had been drinking, did not drive very fast and was quite careful along the way.

This made things much easier for Toyama Kazuha, who was eager to enjoy the scenery. Sitting in the passenger seat, she was completely absorbed in looking out the window, occasionally letting out a gasp of surprise.

"Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful! Ai, look here, and over there! Mr. Kitagawa, look too, the moonlight here is so beautiful, it's silvery white!"

Kitagawa Isao gave half-hearted replies. Neither he nor Haibara Ai had come to admire the scenery, so they naturally weren't very interested in these things.

The little guy just wanted to stay by his side, while Kitagawa Isao himself had come for Robert's sake.

The thought that Shinichi Takeda should already be hanging from the second floor of the warehouse by Robert made Isao Kitagawa's face slip into a barely perceptible smile.

He was no saint by birth, and he showed no pity for the tragic end of such a major drug lord.

In fact, in Kitagawa Isao's view, such social scum who manufacture and sell drugs deserve to be tortured to death!

However, in this matter, Robert was not exactly a saint either. He killed Shinichi Takeda not to uphold justice or to eliminate evil.

Putting aside the element of revenge for his beloved, Robert's killing at this time was also related to his control of the drug market in Tottori Prefecture.

Foreigners like Robert, who ostensibly enjoy sightseeing but are actually lurking around the world stealing secrets...

Kitagawa Isao now only suspects which faction is behind him...

……

On a date~ hehe~
