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

Ai Haibara poked at her phone with a dissatisfied expression.

I don't know if this phone is broken, but I just can't access the call logs and contacts!

I can open games and other software, but those two won't!

It was as if someone was targeting her, but she had no evidence.

After trying again for a while, Ai Haibara finally gave up.

It won't open, it's completely unclickable.

"Huh? There are so many photos in the album?"

Ai Haibara glanced back at Qi Ming guiltily, and after confirming that he was definitely asleep, she hesitantly opened the photo album.

However, the randomly selected photo stunned the little girl.

That's a photo of her when she was still Shiho Miyano; she's smiling happily in the picture.

It would be better if the background wasn't in the women's restroom.

Ai Haibara blushed slightly. She still remembered her meeting with Qi Ming in the women's restroom, but she didn't see him take out his phone.

Hidden camera?

Probably not.

Ai Haibara continued flipping through the photos and unexpectedly came across a picture of Shinichi Kudo and Conan Edogawa.

However, she had no doubt that Qi Ming thought the two were the same person.

After all, she also found clones of Gin and Vodka in the photo album.

From Qi Ming's perspective, these clones must be considered a bug in the game...

Ai Haibara yawned, feeling a little sleepy, but still pressed the button to flip to the next photo.

However, the moment this photo came into view, Ai Haibara's pupils contracted and her body trembled involuntarily.

She was a beautiful woman with silver-gold hair.

Belmode!

Whether it's a misperception or not, Ai Haibara always feels that Vermouth's eyes in the photo are staring intently at her like a venomous snake.

Ai Haibara suppressed her pounding heart, her fingers trembling as she clicked on the image, and then...

delete.

When the next photo of her sister popped up, the little girl's heart calmed down instantly.

My older sister looks warmer.

Hmm, let's also delete the photos of the Gin and Vodka clones. It just doesn't feel right to have their photos together with theirs.

……

After a while, Ai Haibara finally looked through all the photos on Qi Ming's phone.

She placed her phone back on the bedside table as it had been before, staring at the ceiling with a slightly unnatural expression.

Most of the photos in Qi Ming's phone album were of her.

It's not surprising that a man has many photos of women on his phone; such men are either simps or playboys.

It would be strange if a man had many photos of a woman on his phone.

Their relationship is either ambiguous or they're already in a relationship; they're either a voyeur and the person being voyeurized!

Qi Ming is definitely not a peeping tom, so...

Ai Haibara's head was buzzing a little.

No, I can't think about it anymore, I need to go to sleep!

……

The next day, at a designer clothing store in Beikacho shopping street.

Qi Ming held his newly bought camera, moving it up and down, left and right, back and forth, just to take pictures of the little girl in her pastoral-style clothes from different angles.

"Ai, raise your hand a little higher, oh right, and look straight ahead, a little more melancholy, just a tiny bit more melancholy, oh, perfect!"

Qi Ming wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead and snapped his fingers at the sales assistant, "Miss, wrap this set up too."

"Yes, sir. You're so kind to your sister." The saleswoman nodded and said with an ingratiating smile.

The store manager recently held a meeting and said that the company is going to implement performance evaluations, and employees who do not meet the targets will be laid off.

She hadn't closed a deal in a long time and was one of the employees who would be laid off.

She originally came to the store today to finish her last shift and then hand in her resignation, but unexpectedly, she turned her luck around at the last moment and met this benefactor!

In just half an hour, they had already bought a total of 12 outfits!

The sales assistant felt incredibly excited, like she'd never been before.

She tore up her resignation letter on the spot; now she should be writing her promotion speech.

"Brother Qi Ming, this should be enough, right? We have clothes for all four seasons, we can't possibly wear them all."

Ai Haibara tugged at Qi Ming's sleeve and said, a rare satisfied smile appearing on her face.

She hadn't been so carefree trying on clothes in a clothing store in a long time.

Although Qi Ming had taken her shopping before when she was still Shiho Miyano, the mindset was very different then and now, and the happiness back then was only as fleeting as fireworks.

Unfortunately, I am currently a child, so the types of clothes I can wear are too limited.

However, Qi Ming's fashion sense, which exceeded her expectations, made up for this, as all the items he chose were quite stylish.

Ai Haibara felt a hint of doubt.

Isn't it said that men without girlfriends have straight male aesthetics? What's going on with Qi Ming?

Could it be that he's having a lot of fun outside?!

No, we have to explore this further.

It's not because of superficial jealousy, but because such behavior would have a negative impact on me as a child!

"Hey, Brother Qi Ming, Jeanne d'Arc mud duck!"

Just as Qi Ming was about to pay the bill and take Xiao Ai to a restaurant, a sickeningly sweet child's voice suddenly came from behind him.

...Could this sound have spawned those fixed but random NPCs again?

Qi Ming turned around with a forced smile, and just then he saw Conan and Ran Mouri walking towards the clothing store, along with the three kids on the subway with their parents who had big hearts.

Kogoro Mouri didn't come; instead, a pretty girl wearing a headband was leaning against Ran Mouri.

Qi Ming silently glanced at Ran Mouri and Conan, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Didn't you guys get pretty scared by me yesterday—no, by [Akami Miyano]?

So you've recovered your spirits and are out having fun now?

Ai Haibara watched the group of people approaching, then quietly hid behind Qi Ming, peeking out with one eye to observe Conan.

Is he Shinichi Kudo, the savior of that policeman?

Judging from his tone just now, he seems quite comfortable with his identity as a child.

"Long time no see, everyone. Our country is so small, it's amazing how we can run into each other here."

Qi Ming smiled and bent down to stroke Conan's hair, trying to press down the few tufts of hair that were sticking up.

Behind Conan, the girl beside Ran Mouri, seeing Qi Ming's handsome appearance and physique, immediately asked Ran:

"Hey, Xiaolan, who's this handsome guy?!"

"I told you last time, it was Mr. Qi Ming who caught two terrorists when we were on the Shinkansen."

After the two women spoke in hushed tones, the girl with the headband walked past Conan and greeted Qi Ming openly and confidently.

"Hey handsome! My name is Suzuki Sonoko, and I'm Ran's best friend!"

"Hello, sis... cough cough, beautiful lady, my name is Qi Ming. I didn't expect Miss Mori to have such a beautiful best friend."

Qi Ming almost blurted out the word "sisters," but thankfully he stopped himself in time.

Out of the corner of his eye, Qi Ming glanced at Ai Haibara hiding behind her and realized that he should establish his new persona in front of the little girl.

One profession: [Original] Singer.

He has four personality traits: humorous, gentlemanly, and gentlemanly.

The last one is still a gentleman!
