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

Yuki Nagasawa: "..."

Knowing it was a violation, why did you still do it?

but......

She smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you, Officer Higashino."

"Then it's settled."

Higashino Ning left with a single sentence, pulling Conan away and leaving Nagasawa Yuki with a dashing back view.

Get into the police car.

Conan quickly spoke up, "Officer Higashino, what I'm actually more curious about is the natural death case that Officer Takagi mentioned."

"Because I always felt that this might be an ingeniously designed murder case, I really wanted to investigate it myself as a holiday social assignment."

"If you have other cases to handle, Officer Higashino, you don't need to come with me. Just tell me the relevant people and locations."

Oh, you've actually picked one?

"Natural death case".

Higashino Ning stared at the road and pondered for a moment. "I'll go with you. Otherwise, it'll be bad if Inspector Megure finds out."

"Coincidentally, I also have some doubts about this case."

Conan was stunned. "You...you just agreed?"

Higashino Ning raised his hand and flicked her forehead, "You're still not happy? If you're not happy, then get out of the car."

"No, no!" Conan covered his head and shrank back a little. "I just didn't expect that you, Officer Higashino, would take such good care of a kid like me. You're completely different from Officer Takagi and the others."

Higashino Ning opened the car door and got out. "Let's change cars. Taking a police car would be a bit of a hassle. Besides, the reason I'm willing to take you is because you can sometimes give us police officers some unexpected insights."

So now they're too lazy to even pretend to use children?

I like you just the way you are!

It's a fact that he's helpful to the police. If Inspector Megure had that kind of awareness, he probably wouldn't have needed to anesthetize Mori Mori to make his deductions.

Conan got out of the car with a smile and followed Higashino Ning's footsteps, feeling quite pleased.

In his view, his plan to cultivate a new inside agent was already 80% successful.

Sitting in the new Toyota, Conan naturally couldn't help but ask questions.

It's fine to share my experience of buying a car.

The two chatted casually on the way, and the topic gradually turned to the case of natural death.

However, there is a transit point on this journey.

When Higashino Ning returned to the car, Conan learned some shocking news.

Ai Haibara managed to gain partial control of the finances in just a few days.

He looked at Higashino Ning with a deep gaze.

Dude, is it that Haibara is too skilled, or are you just too much of a doting father?

Forget it, it's none of his business.

"Speaking of which, Haibara is quite proactive in investigating the organization."

Conan couldn't help but recall what he had been doing at school a few days earlier.

The two had secretly discussed the natural death case at the time, and Ai Haibara also believed that the case was most likely related to the organization and that it involved the kind of drug that could shrink people.

Moreover, at that time, Ai Haibara had suggested that the two of them find time to secretly investigate the case together.

However, he was under a lot of pressure from Ran today, and he was also thinking a lot about Kaito Kid, so he forgot to call Ai Haibara.

"I'll share the findings with that guy when I get back after the investigation is complete."

Conan stared out the car window, trying to calm himself down.

A short while later, the black Toyota was parked smoothly in the underground parking lot.

Higashino Ning's outfit today was very gangster-like, a whole set of faded jeans, which, combined with his appearance and hairstyle, made him look completely unrelated to a policeman.

If he wore earrings to change his image, he could even be considered a bad guy.

"The 17th floor is where President Makoto Asuka's company is located."

Higashino Ning found the elevator and walked over, saying, "You're free to ask whoever you want, whatever you want."

Conan pouted, "Then what are you doing?"

Higashino Ning pressed the elevator button. "I'm waiting for news. The necessary investigations have already been done."

He glanced at Conan as if he were an idiot, "Besides, I told you before I came that I hoped you could give me some inspiration from unexpected angles."

"So, just do your job honestly."

Conan: "..."

Something seems off here, and it feels a bit strange.

I was the one who wanted to take advantage of Higashino Ning's convenience, so how come he's now making me do things for him?

Never mind, as long as an investigation can be conducted.

Conan went upstairs and successfully infiltrated the company by initiating the "Elementary School Student Visit" operation.

Conan gets to work, activating the "Ask Me Anything" feature to successfully gather clues.

Although Ke was always kicked out, he actually managed to get some information out of Higashino Ning that she hadn't been able to get before.

According to the deceased's assistant, the deceased often went to a bar late at night, and the assistant had even encountered the deceased several times.

Strangely, the deceased did not drink alcohol at the bar, and when he came out, he had a solemn expression and seemed to be afraid.

Higashino Ning and Conan exchanged a glance.

Let's go to a bar!

Chapter 81 clarifies the clues

"So why are you able to get information that the police can't?"

Arriving at the bar entrance, looking at the desolate and lonely scene, Higashino Ning couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

If it were a case from the original storyline, that would be one thing, but it's normal and reasonable for Conan, as the chosen one of the world, to receive some preferential treatment.

But this case wasn't in the original storyline, was it?

As a result, Conan was still able to obtain additional information from others.

Conan chuckled twice and scratched the back of his head. "Maybe it's because I'm a kid that it's easier for people to talk to me, and then they unconsciously think of more information."

Hmm... I guess that's reasonable.

Higashino Ning suddenly felt that there was no need to ask such a question, as long as he could also get benefits through Conan, that was fine.

"Then you can go in by yourself." He gestured with his chin towards the bar's entrance.

Conan asked, puzzled, "Why am I going in to investigate alone again?"

Higashino Ning put on a matter-of-fact expression, "You just said it yourself, chatting with you is more relaxing, and I can get more information."

Conan: "..."

Alright, alright, you were just setting a trap for me to fall into!

How can there be such police officers?!

They came out to investigate and watched the whole process as if it were perfectly normal!

I'll go!

Conan adjusted his mindset, "If anything happens inside later, you need to come in and help me out. Then we can work together to extract more information."

Higashino Ning raised an eyebrow. "Looks like you've done this quite often. You're very experienced."

"Uh...ah...anyway, that's settled then, you're not allowed to run away!" Conan gave a few haphazard explanations and then ran towards the bar entrance.

He tiptoed to open the door in one smooth motion.

Higashino Ning then moved closer and secretly observed from the edge of the door.

It's midday now, and although the bar doesn't have a "closed" sign, there are no customers inside.

Only one waiter arrived, and he was chatting with two other bartenders, seemingly enjoying their conversation.

Conan's sudden visit did not result in his expulsion.

Since I'm bored anyway, it's nice to have a kid to chat with about gossip.

That's right, gossip.

Conan said the deceased was his aunt who died unexpectedly a few days ago, and as a child who plans to become a detective in the future, he intends to investigate her thoroughly.

What he is now investigating is the so-called "secret meeting with his aunt".

The waitress was a rather charming young woman, and the two bartenders were also quite young. Following Conan's train of thought, the group began to connect the dots and recall the information they knew, and then shared everything they could.

Higashino Ning, separated by the gate, naturally couldn't hear what was being said inside.

However, the atmosphere of the conversation inside was quite pleasant, and Higashino Ning did not think these people looked like members of the organization.

There shouldn't be any danger, right?

After thinking for a moment, Higashino Ning pushed open the door and ran over, pretending to be very embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, this child actually came here. I hope he hasn't caused you any trouble."

Conan was engrossed in listening to the clues when he was suddenly interrupted.

But it doesn't matter, since we're investigating together anyway.

The waitress smiled slightly. Dongye Ning's appearance appealed to her, so she took the initiative to speak, "No, no, we're not working right now anyway."
