Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Ai Haibara, who was buried in her head and feeling somewhat embarrassed about her wild thoughts today, finally came to her senses, only to find Qi Ming's smug face reflected in her eyes.

"...What are you doing?"

"Ai Haibara said, embarrassed and annoyed."

For no other reason than that Qi Ming was currently bending over, sticking his head out, and scrutinizing his own expression with a sly grin.

"I've always wanted to see this expression on your face, this jealous expression."

"...Who, who's jealous?!"

Ai Haibara's face instantly turned bright red, but Qi Ming's facial expression was too exaggerated, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud the next second.

In the past, men and women were not allowed to touch each other.

Realizing she had lost her composure, Ai Haibara straightened her face and reached out to pull Qi Ming's head to the side.

Her heart was pounding, and it took Ai Haibara a while to calm herself down.

Leaning back on the sofa, Ai Haibara muttered:

"Couldn't you have told me sooner?"

"You didn't ask either?"

Qi Ming followed Ai Haibara's lead and lay back down on the sofa, then he said knowingly:

"You came to this conclusion after spying on me for so long?"

"How can a child's mind be filled with nothing but love and romance?"

"Pah, disgusting!"

"..."

Ai Haibara clenched her fists, but she couldn't retaliate at all.

"Sigh, things have cooled down. Our feelings for each other have faded. Let's start sleeping in separate rooms from today."

Qi Ming waved his hand, took out an e-cigarette, put it in his mouth, and moved it up and down.

Qi Ming unleashed a series of attacks that Ai Haibara was unable to withstand.

With a quick glance, Ai Haibara unleashed her ultimate attack.

"Putting aside the truth of the matter, are you completely without fault?"

"How can you just casually hold a girl's hand? That's indecent! Bah!"

Seeing Ai Haibara's charmingly exasperated expression, Qi Ming remained silent for a moment before slowly saying:

"...I must have been quite the character in my youth, I must have been a complete hooligan when I was a kid."

Before Ai Haibara could speak, Qi Ming waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, let's put this aside and stop talking about it."

This young lady has even resorted to this kind of talk; it seems she's out of options.

And he was out of options.

Let's request some external support.

"System, how should I respond when a girl makes such a statement? Please use a simple and direct response in the style of Tieba (a Chinese online forum)."

6.

"..."

Ai Haibara raised her hands and patted her face. After a few deep breaths, she regained her composure.

Let's change the subject.

Since Qi Ming had given her a way out, she was happy to accept it.

Besides, the misunderstanding has been resolved no matter what, and I feel much better now.

"By the way, Ran Mouri has met my sister? Also, Shinichi Kudo told me that he has met my sister."

Having regained her composure, Ai Haibara turned on the TV, randomly selected a program to use as background music, and then asked Qi Ming curiously.

A moment later, Ai Haibara thought of what Conan had said to her, as well as the chat between Qi Ming and Ran Mouri in the video call.

She frowned slightly, then asked Qi Ming.

"By the way, what exactly did you do when you helped my sister get away? And what's the deal with the crazy woman and the antisocial guy?"

Qi Ming coughed twice and said to Ai Haibara:

You have to say "please".

"...Please tell me."

Ai Haibara glared fiercely at Qi Ming.

"Please tell me, brother."

Qi Ming calmly took a deep breath of the e-cigarette in his hand and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"Speak more sweetly, and add a little more."

"Be as sweet as your sister when she thanks the big brother in the live stream."

"..."

Although she wasn't a detective, Ai Haibara experienced just how difficult the path to finding the truth truly was.

After a moment of silence, Ai Haibara finally spoke again.

"Brother Qi Ming, please tell me, okay?"

As she spoke, she deliberately blinked, revealing an extremely cute little face, looking at Qi Ming with anticipation.

Ai Haibara has grown up and no longer feels ashamed to make such an expression.

Seeing this, Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction and then spoke truthfully.

"They made a doll to look like your sister and went to that casino, and that's when they happened to run into them."

"You know the organization's mission for your sister is to make money, whether it's banking or casinos."

"Then we had a bit of fun at the casino, and you know, nobody dislikes role-playing."

Ai Haibara frowned and nodded.

That makes sense.

It's quite a coincidence that we managed to run into Shinichi Kudo and his friends here.

As Qi Ming said, is it because he is the protagonist?

Haiyuan sighed.

"But is it really necessary to go to a casino to rob someone? Even banks can't satisfy you."

Before he shrunk, Qi Ming had taken him to a casino.

Could it be that they robbed that casino?

Probably not.

"...Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing that Qi Ming did not respond for a long time, Ai Haibara turned her head and saw that Qi Ming was staring straight at her.

And there seemed to be a hint of...disdain in his eyes!

Wait a minute.

It was only then that Ai Haibara realized that what she had just said might have been a bit inappropriate.

Robbing casinos is wrong, but does that mean robbing banks is right?

Before Ai Haibara could defend herself, Qi Ming had already pointed at her nose and started criticizing her.

You're so mean!

"The money in banks is the people's money, it's clean; the money in casinos is the money of the powerful and wealthy, it's dirty."

"You actually think robbing a bank is better than robbing a casino? How can your mind be so dark?"

"..."

How can this person just spout nonsense like that!

If you've cleared my mind of darkness, then what is your mind?

A multicolored black?

Ai Haibara narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Qi Ming expressionlessly, and asked:

Have you ever robbed a bank?

Qi Ming nodded and answered quite frankly:

"Take it!"

"Why didn't you say it was the people's money when you were robbing it?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming immediately perked up, raised his head high, and began to explain eloquently:

"I am also one of the people. What's wrong with me going to the bank to get my share of the money?"

"Besides, the money I spend will eventually flow into the bank. I can spend my money to my heart's content, and the people's interests will not suffer any loss. It's a win-win situation."
