It was Miss Huiyuan who helped me. Please watch the VCR.

The big brother who was reluctant to let her go...

Who?

Are you talking about me?

Dong Ye Ning continued to look out the window, "You think too much, I'm just trying to maximize the benefits."

Haibara Ai continued to smile evilly and looked at him sideways.

Dong Ye Ning slowly moved toward the door.

“Alright, alright,” seeing that Higashino would rather die than admit it, Huihara Ai put her hands on her hips and said proudly, “I’ll just assume that’s what you think~”

Dong Ye Ning continued with a cold expression, "No need to be one, that's it."

Haibara Ai didn't want to continue communicating with this guy.

In fact, when she found out that Edogawa knew Tono Ning, she realized one thing.

If Edogawa's identity is exposed, the police officers close to him will definitely not be let off by the organization.

They already know each other, and now with her around, it is an inevitable trend that Tono Ning and Edogawa will become more and more familiar with each other in the future.

So...instead of thinking about staying away from Dong Ye Ning, it is better to protect your own identity.

Isn't that what Kudo Shinichi did?

There's nothing wrong with her replicating it.

pity.

If she had known that Conan would be deeply involved with the police even if he became smaller, or if she had figured this matter out earlier, she would not have left yesterday.

It's pretty good to stay at Dong Ye Ning's house.

While trying to find ways to fight the organization, I can also tease this idiot and have some conversations to spice up my life.

Perhaps it's because girls naturally develop a basic liking for people who have helped them, or it may be that Dong Ye Ning just happens to fit her aesthetic and his personality also suits her appetite for teasing and teasing people.

In short, even though they only spent less than half a day together, Haibara Ai just liked Higashino Ning very much.

Just when the two of them were at a loss for new topics to talk about, Ayumi suddenly pulled out a pile of specially framed paintings from under the bed.

It was at this moment that Conan came back to his senses from his reasoning and realized that there were two outsiders in the room.

It’s okay for Haibara Ai, it’s normal that she doesn’t want to get involved after she turns into a cool girl.

But what about you?

Officer Higashino!

You are a policeman!

Just stand there and watch us kids randomly search other people's rooms?

If it were Megure... No, even if Officer Takagi was here, they would have been cleared out!

We agreed to investigate together, but you just stood there and watched, right?

Conan complained a lot in an instant.

Dong Ye Ning also understood Conan's eyes immediately and said slowly, "Well... I think your investigation is quite good."

"Since I can't help, then not causing more trouble is also a kind act, isn't it?"

Conan: "..."

What you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it!

But how can you, as an adult, admit so openly that you can't even help a child and accept it so calmly?

There has never been a moment when Conan needed to complain to release his emotions as much as he does now.

"I have to get to know this previously invisible Officer Higashino again."

Conan looked at Dong Ye Ning seriously and made up his mind secretly.

After all, he himself urgently needs an "insider" in the police so that when he encounters a case, he can follow up the investigation through the back door.

Officer Takagi is still a little silly, and sometimes he would speak up to stop things. He thinks Officer Higashino is a perfect fit!

Why would a person's gaze change from full of complaints to full of appreciation?

Dong Ye Ning probably had the answer in his mind.

Hmm...seems like someone wants him to be a dog.

Of course, it is just a dog in a sense, but Dong Ye Ning still does not want to be called "Dong Ye Police Dog" one day in the future.

Hiss~~ You know what, "Higashino Police Dog" seems to be much more domineering than "Takagi Police Dog" or "Megure Police Dog".

But...still da meh!

Tono Ning put away his thoughts and walked forward to Ayumi's side. "Picasso's 'Weeping Woman', Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers', Monet's 'Water Lilies'... these are all masterpieces. Although they are not fakes, they are also quite good."

The reason he recognized it was not because he had any in-depth knowledge of art paintings, but it was simply because it was in his art textbook at school.

As a literate intermittent illiterate, whenever he was illiterate, Dong Ye Ning could only read books with pictures.

Therefore, new art books and geographical atlases became his two favorite collections.

I haven't seen the original, but I've seen photos.

I haven't been there in person, but I've seen photos.

Dong Ye Ning's casual and natural attitude inspired the three kids to admire him, because it was really cool to freely share unfamiliar knowledge.

Those who are still willing to think for themselves, whether adults or children, all love the feeling of having knowledge overwhelm their brains without leaving any traces.

I don't understand why it's so impressive and I don't enjoy watching it.

Ayumi's smile was very healing. She pointed at the last picture and asked, "Officer Higashino, what about this one?"

"Natsume Soseki." Higashino Ning and Conan said in unison.

This is a sketch of Natsume Soseki.

Jun at the side was a little proud, "These were all drawn by my brother. He was famous in school for imitating famous paintings!"

Mitsuhiko quickly followed up, "Could it be that your brother was kidnapped and forced to paint?"

Conan shook his head. "It's unlikely. Officer Higashino just said that although Toshiya's painting is very good, it is far from the level of a fake."

But Dong Ye Ning raised an eyebrow and pointed at the sketch, "What if the prisoner only asked him to draw this one? I think this one has been reproduced perfectly."

"Only this one?" Conan was stunned. Suddenly, he felt that the painting in front of him had a very strong sense of déjà vu.

At this time, Huiyuan Ai walked closer with her arms folded and said calmly, "A portrait on a 1,000 yen note."

"That's right!" Conan suddenly realized, "This is indeed the portrait on the banknote, but... could it be that the criminal kidnapped him to make him draw counterfeit money... It doesn't seem so random no matter how you think about it."

"Drawing counterfeit banknotes requires a high level of precision, and is usually done by very experienced people."

Huiyuan Ai stood on tiptoe and stretched her arms. "I just mentioned it casually. After all, there is indeed a counterfeit money gang operating in Tokyo recently."

As she said this, she glanced at Conan provocatively, "Why, Edogawa-san doesn't usually watch the news?"

Little detective who loves disguise, why are you trying to show off?

Conan only felt provocation and couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.

He really hadn't read the newspaper during this period, because his uncle's family didn't subscribe to a regular daily newspaper, so he would just read it and then go down to buy another one.

It just so happened that during this period of time, Kogoro Mori didn't want to know about current affairs, he just wanted to know which izakaya's proprietress was pretty.

Seeing that the topic had come to this point, Dong Ye Ning simply nodded and said, "Well, I have indeed been following up on a counterfeit money case these days, and I caught a suspect last night."

"Caught the suspect?!"

Conan was surprised, "Did you find out anything?"

Huiyuan Ai was surprised, "You should not be injured, right?"

Dong Ye Ning: "......"

His decision to insist on adopting Haibara Ai turned out to be the right one!
