Detective Conan: Is Miss Haibara planning to assault a police officer again today?

Ai Haibara sighed softly, channeling her sorrow into her appetite, and continued eating.

...

We ate and drank until 10 o'clock.

Miyamoto Yumi was so drunk that she started talking nonsense, and like a lewd old man, she touched Haibara Ai's little hand and said she wanted to take the little girl home.

Sato Miwako sighed helplessly, "I think it would be better to send her home as soon as possible."

That's just how Miyamoto Yumi is—she's a good cook but also loves to drink.

Takagi Wataru nodded. "Yes, I'll take Higashino and Ai home too. Officer Sato, drive carefully."

The interaction between the two barbecue duo tonight was unusually bland, lacking any extra atmosphere.

It seems that Higashino Ning's attempt to help them during the day actually made the two of them remain calm and stop there.

Stepping outside, the cool air felt refreshing, washing away most of the intoxication in Higashino Ning's head.

Ai Haibara insisted on holding the panda plush toy that was about the same size as her, so Ning Higashino stopped insisting on helping her.

Once in the car, Takagi Wataru suddenly remembered something, opened the storage compartment, and took out something that looked like a health supplement jar.

He opened the lid with one hand and handed it to Dongye Ning, saying, "I saw it by chance last time. They said it contains curcumin, which helps with hangovers."

Takagi Wataru patted his forehead. "My memory is getting worse and worse. I should have given some to Yumi-san too."

It's too late to send it to Yumi Miyamoto now.

Judging from Miwako Sato's driving habits, she must have driven at least 500 meters by now.

Higashino Ning glanced at the jar, poured a few slices into his hand, and swallowed them dry. "Thanks, Takagi."

As he spoke, he put the medicine jar back into the storage compartment, and Takagi Wataru did not stop him.

Anyway, most of the time when Higashino Ning goes out drinking, he rides home in Higashino Ning's car, which is quite convenient since he leaves his car there.

Ai Haibara, sitting in the back seat, thought to herself, "They really are very, very good friends."

The car quickly drove onto the main road.

The scenery on the way back was no different from that on the way there.

As he drove, Higashino Ning, who was quietly enjoying the breeze, suddenly caught a glimpse of a black vehicle ahead of him.

He recognized the car all too well.

Porsche 356A!

Almost at the same time, a warning flashed through Ai Haibara's mind on the same side.

Her eyes narrowed, and she quickly used the panda plush toy to cover herself while peeking at the car through the gap.

Takagi Wataru is still driving normally.

The two cars quickly leveled off.

Ai Haibara frowned, now she was sure, it was vodka!

Gin must be sitting in the back seat right now.

Unfortunately, it's nighttime now, so I can't see the view from the back row through the glass.

At this moment, the window on the vodka side slowly rolled up, and the parallel phase came to a complete end.

The Porsche sped up.

Higashino Ning remained silent, gazing out the window the entire time.

Vodka's evil aura was truly undisguised, which instinctively disgusted him.

For a fleeting moment, he had the urge to pull out his gun and blow up the vodka, but reason prevailed.

Taking action is possible, but the ideal scenario would be a one-for-two exchange.

"Why couldn't I have gotten an invincible system?" Higashino Ning sighed softly.

[Because the host did not receive the template for a satisfying, enjoyable story.]

Okay, I can't argue with that.

Higashino Ning turned his head and said, "Ai, don't fall asleep. Sleep when we get home."

Ai Haibara, who had already put the panda plush toy back in its place, pouted, "I didn't sleep."

After saying that, she yawned again, "But I am actually a little sleepy."

Wow, that's really good.

Higashino Ning was very satisfied.

It seems that even in the early stages of the story, when Ai Haibara unexpectedly encounters the organization, this version will not fall into negative effects such as "weakness" or "fear".

If you're so strong, then doesn't that mean my role is diminished accordingly?

Well, this is fine as it is.

While fragile little girls may evoke pity and a desire for affection, brave little girls possess an even brighter brilliance.

I don't like you because I pity you, but because I like you, I feel especially sorry for your experiences.

Hmm... that makes sense.

Meanwhile, in the Porsche 356A.

"Brother, why did you suddenly close the window?"

Because the order from his older brother Gin was a bit sudden, Vodka cautiously asked about it.

back seat.

Gin crossed his legs, and after several attempts, he finally placed the cigarette between his fingers and lips.

He exhaled a puff of smoke.

He chuckled and said, "There were two policemen in that car next to us just now. It's always better to be careful."

"Police?" Vodka was focused on driving and didn't pay much attention, and besides, it wasn't a police car; the man in the passenger seat who was blowing on the wind looked like an ordinary person.

Gin grunted and stubbed out his cigarette. He took out his phone and said, "I have a vague recollection of him. He seems to be the police prodigy who's been frequently featured in the news lately."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"It seems he solved another bank robbery case that happened a few days ago this afternoon."

Gin's fingers moved swiftly, and he quickly sent out several transfer orders via email.

"Although it's most likely just a chance encounter, let's postpone our operation for two hours."

"I've already arranged for people to conduct another round of investigations. We'll go after that we've completely confirmed there's no problem before we start causing trouble for that guy."

"Let's find a safe house to rest for a while, and be careful to avoid being tracked."

Vodka always obeys orders.

The Porsche 356A slowly changed lanes, then veered off course and sped away at the next intersection.

...

Go home.

There was something inexplicably going on between Higashino Ning and Haibara Ai.

After sitting down on the sofa, thinking about his previous experience, he took the initiative to ask, "If you have time after school tomorrow, I'll take you to buy a cell phone, so it will be easier to stay in touch."

Ai Haibara was quite surprised. "There shouldn't be much need, right? You can find a teacher at school, you can use a landline at home, and even outside, there are public phone booths."

A mobile phone is not a small expense.

Knowing that Higashino Ning was planning to move to a different place, she didn't want to put any more financial pressure on him.

Thinking about this, Ai Haibara suddenly felt like voicing her old grievances again.

So how did you come up with the idea of ​​targeting the Kudo family?

He's a genius!

She hadn't even thought of that!

If she could live at the Kudo family's house, it would be convenient for her to go to school and for Higashino Ning to go to work.

If you're bored at home, you can go to Professor Agasa's house, or even use his lab for drug development.

Speaking of drug development...

Ai Haibara looked up. "By the way, Higashino-nii, Professor Agasa had a disc that was taken by the police as evidence, and it seems it hasn't been returned yet. Could you help Professor Agasa?"

Chapter 62 Strange Number

Help, Dr.?

I can't be bothered to expose you.

Higashino Ning feigned surprise, "Is that so? I'll go to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow."

He crossed his legs. "It shouldn't be a case that happened in the Tokyo area, I don't seem to remember it."

Ai Haibara didn't want Higashino Ning to know that she had gone on a long trip that night, as it would be troublesome to explain, so she said a few words in a half-coquettish and half-deceptive manner.

Higashino Ning didn't pursue this matter further.

He was just about to ask who wanted to shower first when his phone suddenly received a call.

It's an unknown number.

Ai Haibara habitually looked up to gaze at him, while Neiya Higashino looked at his phone with a slightly puzzled expression.

To be honest, this phone call made him think of the organization.

catch!

"Hello, are you Officer Higashino?"

Hiss... that sound!
