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

……

Underneath the Twin Towers skyscraper in Nishitama City.

The news that someone had died here had not yet spread, and people continued to come and go, with all sorts of luxury cars driving into the underground garage.

"Um……"

Qi Ming stood beneath the tall buildings, his eyes gleaming as he surveyed the two skyscrapers from top to bottom.

"What are you looking at?"

Ai Haibara glanced at Qi Ming and asked, but then, as if realizing something, she added:

"I was talking to myself."

That's a classic arrogant statement; this little girl is still having some disagreements.

"I'm looking at the bombs Gin planted here. Do you think Gin isn't very good at math?"

"...How would I know? But the chances of that person being bad at math are also very small."

Ai Haibara replied irritably, and then added a sentence later.

“I’m not answering you, I’m talking to myself.”

Qi Ming glanced at Ai Haibara with amusement, then continued looking at the tall building, stroking his fair chin.

I remember Gin saying at the base that he would plant bombs on the lower floors of two buildings.

Once they know which floor Shuichi Akai is on, they will detonate the bomb on that floor, leaving him with nowhere to escape but to deal with it remotely.

But after just scanning around like this...

Does Gin have some kind of misunderstanding about lower floors?

How the hell did he plant bombs on every floor?

Although there were only two or three on the higher floors, Qi Ming saw at least eight on floors 1 to 5.

I wonder if this explosion will cause the building to collapse.

"By the way, Shinichi Kudo is here this time too. Won't something happen?"

Ai Haibara glanced at Conan, who was participating in Professor Agasa's lame joke game, and suddenly asked Qi Ming a question.

"Oh, what's this...?"

"Talking to oneself."

Qi Ming answered quickly, then covered his mouth and yawned before explaining.

"The incident may happen, but it has nothing to do with us."

Ai Haibara's lips twitched when she saw Qi Ming's actions.

Your unconscious behavior is just like a woman's!

……

After a while, everyone curiously gathered around the twin towers for a bit before entering the sightseeing elevators.

The elevator has been renovated and the supplier has been changed.

I wonder if the elevator manufacturer that had the accident has also been caught in a media storm...

“There are so many people.”

The banquet hall was not as deserted as it had been when they arrived a few days ago; the various high-society figures were raising their glasses and exchanging pleasantries.

"Hey, there's an autonomous one over there!"

"Genta, don't run so fast!"

The sights were dazzling, but Genta quickly spotted the rows of buffet food and ran over.

Then Genta ran, Ayumi ran, Ayumi ran, Mitsuhiko ran, Mitsuhiko ran, Professor Agasa ran, Professor Agasa ran, Qi Ming ran...

"..."

Ai Haibara's eyelids twitched.

Do you really want to sit at the kids' table?

However, Ai Haibara suddenly remembered Qi Ming's eating habits and immediately followed him.

She didn't want to see "herself" wolfing down her food.

"What are these guys doing? They come here and start eating right away."

Kogoro Mouri glanced helplessly at the crowd gathered in front of the buffet.

We're here as high-profile individuals representing a major conglomerate, can't we at least be a little more reserved?

However, Kogoro Mouri immediately abandoned his composure upon seeing the tall champagne tower on the table.

"Ahem, Xiaolan, you guys go ahead and look around, I'm going to have a couple of drinks."

"……dad."

……

"This Tokiwa feels more impressive than the Pandora one from last time; the food is tastier."

Qi Ming chewed on the small cake, a satisfied smile on his face.

However, the way she chewed while talking was something that Ai Haibara couldn't accept.

"Could you finish your cake before you talk? It's really unseemly."

"is it?"

Qi Ming raised an eyebrow and glanced indifferently at the young people at the opposite table who were selecting food.

"Hey bro, is it impolite of me to talk while I'm eating?"

The young man was taken aback. When he saw Qi Ming's pouty face, which looked like a goldfish, he couldn't help but blush.

"No, no, madam, you are very, very cute."

"Thank you."

Qi Ming lowered his head and smiled at Ai Haibara.

"See? Justice resides in the hearts of the people."

"..."

Ai Haibara's ears turned slightly red, and she covered her face, no longer speaking.

Maybe she should just move to another planet. The moon would be nice; she'd want to live there forever and never come down.

"What the hell?!"

But not long after, Qi Ming's vulgar remark made Ai Haibara finally lose her composure.

"If you use my mouth to speak again..."

"Look over there, who is that person?"

Ai Haibara had just lowered her hand, intending to scold Qi Ming, but when she looked in the direction Qi Ming was pointing, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

At the very front of the banquet hall, Shuichi Akai was having a lively conversation with Mio Tokiwa, the owner of the twin-tower skyscraper.

On the other side, Shuichi Akai seemed to notice Qi Ming and Ai Haibara's gazes and unconsciously turned his head to look over.

Seeing the two girls, one big and one small, who looked almost identical, Akai Hide also showed a hint of surprise.

“…scum.”

Seeing Tokiwa Mio and Akai Shuichi's enthusiastic conversation, Haibara Ai genuinely felt a chill run down her spine.

Her anger towards Qi Ming instantly shifted to Shuichi Akai.

You foreigners may be open-minded, but how come you, Shuichi Akai, have managed to hook up with a rich and beautiful woman in such a short time?

Where did you put my sister, whose body is barely cold, in the water?

"...Little sister, what are your thoughts right now?"

Qi Ming looked at Ai Haibara beside him, who was clenching her teeth, and bowed with a smile.

However, Qi Ming later felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Bending over felt strangely heavy.

"Hmph, men are nothing... What are you doing!"

Ai Haibara was about to launch a verbal attack on Shuichi Akai when she turned around and found Qi Ming with a sullen face, holding his hands in front of him.

Ai Haibara could already sense the others blushing and avoiding her gaze, yet occasionally glancing in her direction.

Ai Haibara screamed in frustration, jumping up and grabbing Qi Ming's hand tightly.

"Please don't do that! There are so many people here!"

"Ok?"

Qi Ming crossed his arms and glared at Ai Haibara with annoyance.

"This is my body, I can do whatever I want with it."

Ai Haibara was getting a little frantic.

"But this is how I look, and I have the right to my image!"
