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

But speaking of which, the C4 I planted in the casino didn't detonate; it seems they were dismantled.

Qi Ming glanced at Conan without saying a word.

But it shouldn't have been dealt with by that brat, right?

Qi Ming knew that detectives, like mysterious deliverymen, needed to know a little bit about everything, but disarming C4 was a bit beyond their capabilities, wasn't it?

"Conan, I was mainly lucky. After releasing a song in China, it became incredibly popular. Then I started live-streaming, singing, selling products, playing the victim, and pretending to be depressed. I made a lot of money."

Qi Ming said with a smile, but apart from the word "singing," the people present couldn't understand any of the other words.

"Mr. Qi Ming, you were a singer before?"

Ran Mouri said with some surprise, "Judging from Qi Ming's skills on the Shinkansen last time, he doesn't seem like someone who works in the entertainment industry at all."

Conan, however, squinted in complete disbelief.

With such skills and being able to put his arm around Lao Qin Laofu, how could he possibly be a singer?

Disarming a grenade with bare hands, even to the point of near disassembly—which entertainment company teaches that?

"Haha, I'm quite famous in China."

Qi Ming smiled and gave a perfunctory answer, then asked Ran Mouri a moment later, "Speaking of which, Miss Mouri, are you going out to play today?"

"Yes, my classmate is the leader of the travel group, and we're going to check it out today."

Sonoko Suzuki whispered to Qi Ming, "Mr. Qi Ming, you don't know, but yesterday, Xiao Lan and her father went to the casino to pick up a client, and she was almost shot by a crazy woman!"

"We came out today specifically to relax."

Qi Ming frowned and nodded upon hearing this.

"I see. Poor Miss Mori, she actually encountered such a thing."

Damn it, this society is so dangerous! There are even crazy people who dare to open fire in casinos!

If he were there, he would definitely stand up for Ran Mouri and drag that madman to the deep mountains and blow him up!

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up as she looked at Haibara Ai, who was still hiding behind Qi Ming. "By the way, Mr. Qi Ming, would you like to come with us to take a look?"

"And Ai-chan, come along too! We have a bunch of little devils here with us, you can have lots of fun!"

To win over the brother, first win over the sister. Sonoko Suzuki wanted to take this opportunity to let Ai know that she was not a bad woman!

Deceiving my feelings? I'm always the one being deceived emotionally!

Scammed? I'm always the one being scammed!

“This…” Qi Ming looked down at Ai Haibara.

After hearing what Sonoko Suzuki said, he had some thoughts on his mind.

He originally intended to raise Ai in his home, but after Sonoko Suzuki's suggestion, perhaps this plan needs to be changed.

After all, using the original method of raising her would probably make the little girl even more withdrawn.

To take to school?

I figure I'll be taking on missions from the organization from time to time, and it wouldn't be good to leave Ai alone at home.

The main problem is that there aren't many human-caring robot props available right now; there's just Megan, who gives off a "happy valley" effect just by looking at her.

It would be great if we could get a 2ba2 dancer or something similar as a drop in the future...

In the clothing store, Qi Ming wasn't the only one who got interested after hearing Sonoko Suzuki's suggestion.

Genta Mitsuhiko and the others exchanged a knowing glance.

The two children immediately smiled and started teasing each other:

"Brother Qi Ming, let's go take a look together, it's really interesting!"

"Yeah, yeah, it won't take long!"

Qi Ming glanced at them out of the corner of his eye.

He could hear what those two little devils were up to even if he flew to the North Pole.

But didn't I teach them a lesson last time? They're quite afraid of me, aren't they?

Are you suddenly so outgoing?

"Ai, go if you want to, don't go if you don't want to."

Qi Ming squatted down and smiled sadly at Haibara, handing over the decision to her.

After hesitating for a moment, Ai Haibara nodded.

"Okay, let's go."

Qi Ming stood up and greeted the saleswoman, "Miss, checkout please."

"Okay, sir."

Just as Qi Ming was about to take out his card, Suzuki Sonoko had already come up and handed the card to the sales assistant.

"Mr. Qi Ming, let me do it. Consider it a gift for my sister."

"Oh, that won't do, Miss Suzuki. Let me do it." Qi Ming feigned annoyance and tried to stop her.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing. I really enjoy making friends, and besides, I like Ai-chan very much too."

Sonoko Suzuki waved her hand, then bowed and looked at Ai Haibara with a smile.

See, little sister? Your older sister is very rich and a really good person!

Ai Haibara's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't respond.

She could hear what this woman was up to even if she flew to Antarctica.

"Oh dear, Miss Suzuki, you've made me owe you a favor. In return, please call me next time you need anything."

Qi Ming shook his head with a wry smile, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

You like making friends, and so do I. I'm definitely going to be friends with you, my wealthy and generous friend!

……

After the brief incident at the clothing store, the group set off towards the Miho Theater.

Sonoko Suzuki was quite troubled; she kept trying to talk to Qi Ming more.

However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Qi Ming's sister would always say something to make the atmosphere awkward when she and Qi Ming were chatting.

Although it's a little annoying, having such a caring younger sister is pretty good.

Sonoko realized that now was not a good time to chat with Qi Ming, so she returned to Ran Mouri's side.

Meanwhile, Mitsuhiko and Genta were also somewhat troubled. They had been trying to get closer to Ai Haibara, but she just kept following Qi Ming around, and they didn't have any chance at all.

The resentment in Ayumi's eyes, who was walking alongside Conan behind them, was almost tangible.

Sure enough, all boys are the same; they can't resist beautiful women.

Conan is still the best!

"Brother Qi Ming, that girl named Suzuki Sonoko seems quite interested in you."

Ai Haibara, standing beside Qi Ming, said calmly, "But don't get involved with other women, you have a girlfriend."

"what?"

Qi Ming scratched his head as he listened to Xiao Ai's words.

The only person I could potentially build a close relationship with, Shiho Miyano, has run away, and my intimacy level has plummeted. Where's my girlfriend now?

How does this kid's brain work? How does he assume I have a girlfriend?

"Ai, your brother doesn't have a girlfriend."

Ai Haibara's lips curled up slightly; she'd been waiting for you to say those words.

"But I think Qi Ming's fashion sense is really good, his girlfriend must have taught him that, right?"

"That's how it's portrayed on TV."

TV, TV, it's TV again?

Qi Ming suspected that the girl's mental problems were simply caused by watching TV.

"No, it's all from playing various games and practicing with Nikki."

"Really? But I saw a lot of girls' photos in my brother's phone album yesterday."

Hearing Ai's somewhat sarcastic words, Qi Ming paused, and a few beads of cold sweat inexplicably appeared on his forehead.

Spicy balls!

I forgot to lock the photo album yesterday!

With Ai's intelligence, wouldn't she think of herself as a scumbag? Wouldn't that ruin all the character setting she'd built up?

Oh no, how do I explain this?

"No, activate the Hypergeometry Sianwaystein."

A blue current flashed in Qi Ming's eyes, and as before, the world's operating speed dropped to 5% again.

The first time he used this device, which was meant for combat, was to cheat.

The second time, he used it to save someone.

The third time, unexpectedly, was used to think about communication strategies.

……

Soon the effect of the S.A.R. device wore off, and the world returned to normal.

Qi Ming also came up with a solution!

He took out his phone, opened the photo album, and pointed to one of the photos.

"Oh, Ai, you were asking if I have a girlfriend? I thought you were asking if we have peanut oil."

"Yes, there is. Look, this is it."
