Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 127: Ai: Are you really going to give me to Conan?
Haruhiko stood under the street light, looking at the side window on the second floor of the hotel, but no one showed up for a long time.

Isn't this Ai Haibara's room? Or is she not in the room?

Just as Haruhiko was about to call her, Haibara Ai's petite figure appeared. She was wearing pink cartoon pajamas and looked like she was going to sleep.

Haruhiko smiled and waved at her.

Ai Haibara disappeared in front of the window with a whoosh.

Haruhiko looked at the empty window and wondered what she meant. Didn't she say she had something to talk to him about? Could this guy have gone back to bed?

Haruhiko's doubts didn't last long.

Soon, a text message alert sounded from the phone -

"Wait for me to clean up."

Huihara Ai said concisely.

After receiving the answer, Haruhiko stood under the street light and waited patiently.

The waiting time was a little longer than Haruhiko had expected. He was wondering why it took so long when Haibara Ai didn't need to wear makeup at her age. But after she came out, Haruhiko understood the reason.

Haibara Ai trotted out of the hotel.

When he was almost in front of Haruhiko, he slowed down again and walked to the street light in an orderly manner.

"What do you want from me?" Haibara Ai asked knowingly.

Haruhiko was speechless, thinking, you dressed like this on purpose, why are you asking me?
Haibara Ai was wearing a white yukata with beautiful cherry blossoms embroidered on it. Her small feet, bare as socks, were stepping on wooden clogs, and she was holding a small coin purse in her hand. She looked like a girl who had walked out of an anime.

Her little face was flushed, I don’t know if it was because she had jogged over or because she had just taken a bath.

Maybe both.

Because Haruhiko could clearly see a layer of fine sweat beads on the tip of her nose in the light of the street lamp, and a few strands of hair on her snow-white neck were wet with sweat and stuck to her skin.

After sweating, her unique scent of fresh shower seemed to be more intense.

Haruhiko couldn't help but sniff lightly.

However, this action was keenly noticed by Haibara Ai. She crossed her arms and jumped back a small step, looking alert.

Haruhiko looked hurt, thinking, "That's not the case, is it? You were actively trying to get under my covers earlier, and now you're reacting so strongly to me just taking a breath."

He really wanted to ask: So love will disappear, right?
Haruhiko had no idea that Haibara Ai actually remembered the strange scene in the bathroom just now, and some bad associations occurred in her mind, so she reacted so strongly.

After a few seconds of silence, Haruhiko took the initiative to ask, "Didn't you say you wanted to go out this morning? Is it still in time now?"

Huiyuan Ai said with a straight face: "I've already taken a shower."

Haruhiko thought, but you still came out, and dressed so... well, he wanted to use the adjective "flashy", but then he thought it didn't seem right.

Haibara Ai's small body isn't big enough for her to be flamboyant, but at most she can be said to be the type of person who can bring out the cuteness to the extreme, the kind of cuteness that makes people want to put her on their knees and feed her candy.

Looking at Huiyuan's sullen face, Haruhiko teased her deliberately: "Then I'll leave?"

Huiyuan Ai looked at him angrily, her calm chest rising and falling continuously, then she raised her nose and said, "Since, since you want to go so much, I'll accompany you."

"But you haven't told me where you're going?"

"Let's go to the shrine to pray," Huiyuan Ai said, "I also heard there is a festival at the foot of the mountain."

Haruhiko felt that she must have inquired about this a long time ago, rather than hearing it from others.

Haruhiko grabbed her slender wrist and checked the time on his watch: "We need to hurry up, the festival has probably been going on for a while."

Her flawless, snow-white wrist felt soft to the touch, and her delicate skin felt slightly cool.

"So let's go quickly." Haibara Ai shook off his hand, jogged forward a few steps in her wooden clogs, and looked back at him.

"Slow down, there are so many people at the festival. If you get kidnapped, I won't be able to find you." Haruhiko shouted.

Huiyuan Ai turned around, brushed the hair by her ear with her hand, and chuckled, "Didn't you say you could find me no matter where I ran to? Was that a lie?"

"Do you understand artistic processing?" Haruhiko was speechless, but Haibara Ai's personality today was a little different from usual. Could it be related to going to the shrine to pray?
"I don't care. I believe it anyway." Haibara Ai said and ran away.

"What a troublesome woman." Haruhiko muttered and chased after her.

...

An abandoned food processing factory in the suburbs of Izu.

This was originally a meat processing factory, but it went bankrupt due to poor management. Due to its remote location, it is almost impossible for anyone to be around here.

Ah Ren drove the logistics vehicle into the dark factory and stopped in front of a warehouse door painted green.

A Tian dialed the phone in his hand.

Soon, the big iron gate slowly opened and Ah Ren drove the car directly in.

The warehouse was brightly lit, with dozens of people inside, seemingly preparing to work through the night.

The only difference is that in addition to East Asian faces, there are also many foreign faces.

Moreover, these people were not holding tools for work, but guns, ammunition, grenades, smoke bombs, etc. of various models, and they seemed to be checking weapons and equipment.

Because this was not the first time that supplies were transported today, as soon as the car stopped, several people nearby put down their guns and ran over to carry the goods.

A Tian and A Ren could relax a little at this time and stood at the door of the warehouse smoking.

Because this is the last trip, their transportation work for today has come to an end, but whether there is anything else to do next depends on the boss's instructions.

Before I finished my cigarette, two beams of light appeared in the darkness in the distance.

A car slowly drove towards this side.

Ah Ren quickly put out the cigarette, patted Ah Tian on the shoulder to remind him to be alert, and at the same time took out the gun and held it in his hand.

But unexpectedly, when the car stopped.

The person who got out of the car was Sato Masao and a man who was wearing a lot of perfume.

There was no communication between the two sides.

However, Ah Ren noticed that when the somewhat delicate stranger passed by and looked at Ah Tian's face, he seemed to lick the corner of his lips lightly.

Ah Ren took out the cigarette box and wanted to light another one, but found that Ah Tian had smoked all the cigarettes. He glanced at the half-smoked cigarette on the ground.

He sighed and went back to the warehouse.

In the warehouse, his leader Taizo Kobayashi was talking to the man who looked a bit effeminate.

Ah Ren stood aside and listened for a while, and roughly understood the identity of this person.

Unexpectedly, this man named Junpei Kamei was the helper that the boss had found.

Next, Junpei Kamei methodically reviewed and checked the supplies delivered today, and put forward his own opinions and new requirements.

The other party's professionalism is naturally beyond doubt. Even an outsider like Ren feels that he is the kind of person who has the ability to blow up the Suzuki Building.

But his words and actions are a little hard to accept.

The way he checked the supplies was like a little girl looking through cosmetics, which made Aren feel a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"I didn't expect that the famous bomb expert in the industry is actually a person with a special sexual orientation." A Tian walked behind A Ren without knowing when.

Ah Ren glanced at Ah Tian and asked, "Did you get disappointed?"

"No, I'm very excited. He's truly a genius," Tian said. "The points he just mentioned really gave me a sudden enlightenment."

Ah Ren nodded, thinking that at least the success rate of this operation was guaranteed.

Afterwards, Junpei Kamei said he wanted to go to the site to see the Suzuki Building and take some photos.

Kobayashi Taizo suggested sending a few people to protect him. Ren had a feeling that besides being worried about this effeminate guy getting into trouble, the leader was also wary of him.

Junpei Kamei looked around, looking for a suitable "bodyguard".

This behavior scared many people into becoming timid, fearing that they would be selected.

But in the end, the effeminate Junpei Kamei chose Masao Sato, who had come to pick him up, as his bodyguard. Jin noticed that the moment he was chosen, Masao Sato's face turned the color of liver.

Junpei Kamei and Masao Sato left the warehouse side by side.

Then, Ren received a new order and had to deliver the new materials according to the sissy's request.

...

"You are so stupid!" Haruhiko mocked Haibara Ai mercilessly as he watched her tear the net she used to catch goldfish for the tenth time and fail to catch even the smallest fish.

Haibara Ai felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and explained in a low voice: "It's really not that easy, okay? This net will break easily once it comes into contact with water..."

"But look at him." Haruhiko pointed at another fat boy about her age in front of the goldfish scooping stall, holding a bag of goldfish in his hands.

When Haibara Ai saw that the other party had a lot of spoils of war in his hands, she clutched the broken fishing net and a murderous look unconsciously flashed in her eyes.

The fat boy ran away with a bag of goldfish.

Haruhiko couldn't help laughing when he saw Haibara's sad expression.

They had arrived at the festival venue located at the foot of the shrine.

Haruhiko was worried that he would miss the exciting part of the festival if he arrived too late, but when he arrived, he found that the excitement here seemed to have just begun.

At the foot of the mountain, various stalls extend along both sides of the path, as if there is no end in sight.

The smell of takoyaki filled the air. A girl in an apron worked tirelessly at the fried noodle stall. The owner of the goldfish scooping stall smiled happily when he saw a customer's net break...

The whole street was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Until the end, Haibara Ai didn't catch a single goldfish.

Haruhiko never expected that the smart female scientist, the aloof queen with a reputation as a wine lover in the Black Organization, would unexpectedly be not good at the game of scooping up goldfish.

Haibara Ai seemed a little embarrassed, thinking that this might be a stain on her life.

Haruhiko, on the other hand, thought this was an unexpectedly cute point. Sometimes girls just have to be a little silly to be cute.

So in order to continue experiencing this contrast, he took Haibara Ai to the shooting game booth.

But this time, Haruhiko made a mistake.

A few minutes later.

Under the stunned gaze of the stall owner, Haibara Ai almost won all the rewards without missing a single shot.

Haruhiko then remembered that this guy seemed to be able to use a gun.

When we first met, he pointed a gun at me. He must have received special training.

However, although Haibara Ai won almost all the grand prizes, she did not accept the more expensive prizes.

She only chose two cheap masks, a fox mask, and an ugly zombie mask.

Haruhiko held the zombie mask with a look of disgust: "Why did you choose this for me? I think the Superman mask suits me better."

"No." Huiyuan Ai put the fox mask on her face and tilted her head playfully, "This suits you very well."

"It's too ugly. I don't want it."

"Try it on first."

"No, I decided to go back and give the mask to Conan. He should be quite suitable for this mask." Haruhiko said suddenly.

Huiyuan Ai said with a look of reproach: "Are you really going to give the gift I gave you to Conan?"

But while she was speaking, a firework exploded in the distant sky, and the people around her cheered, covering up Haibara Ai's voice.

So what Haruhiko heard was: "Are you really going to give me to Conan?"

Haruhiko was stunned.

What the hell is this Minotaur plot?!
But before he could come to his senses, Haibara Ai snatched the zombie mask from his hand.

Haruhiko originally thought that she was angry and didn't want to give it to him, but he didn't expect that Haibara Ai actually wanted to take the initiative to help Haruhiko put on the mask.

Ai Haibara stood on tiptoe with her bare feet in wooden clogs, holding the mask in the air with her two small hands. The sleeves of her yukata slipped down, revealing her fair and slender arms, and her big eyes looked at him pitifully.

Damn it, there really is no way to refuse this situation.

It seems that Shirley has begun to learn to use her innate advantages to achieve her goals. She is truly a top-notch female scientist, Haruhiko sighed in his heart.

Haruhiko squatted down and asked Haibara Ai to help him put on the mask.

"Please protect me, Mr. Zombie." After putting on the mask, Haibara Ai patted Haruhiko's shoulder.

"Okay, where are you going next?" Haruhiko asked.

"I want fried noodles, roasted corn, and candied apples..."

Haruhiko interrupted, "Hey, can your little tummy hold so much food?"

"Stop nagging. Don't you still have time?" Huiyuan Ai lifted the hair beside her ear. "You probably don't have time to eat, right?"

Haruhiko was suddenly touched. Was he worried that he hadn't eaten?

But he then saw the cunning that flashed across Haibara Ai hidden beneath the mask.

wrong!

Is this the PUA from Sulli?

Haruhiko looked at Haibara Ai's soft and slightly sweaty little hand in his hand and fell into deep thought.

...

After the two of them strolled around the festival, they certainly couldn't forget the main thing - going to the shrine to pray.

By the way, Haibara Ai just ate all the octopus balls that Haruhiko liked, but took only a small bite of the grilled corn that Haruhiko didn't like and threw it to him.

This made Haruhiko complain: "You licked all the sauce off the grilled corn. It has no taste at all."

"But aren't you still enjoying your meal?" Haibara Ai retorted.

"Then I am hungry."

"Oh? Really?" Haibara Ai held up the candy apple and swirled her small tongue around on it.

Haruhiko: "You're really not cute at all."

"Oh, so why are you still staring at my feet?" Haibara Ai turned around and took half a step forward with her white, sockless feet.

Haruhiko thought for a moment and said, "Even the most useless person has a few shining points."

Ai Haibara curled her lips, turned around and left, her wooden clogs making a crisp clicking sound as she stepped on the ground.

The two walked along the mountain path towards the shrine. There weren't many people going there to pray at this time, but there were some.

On the way, they saw many couples holding hands and families of three passing by them.

But when the two reached halfway up the mountain, Haibara Ai stopped in place, her eyes fell on the photography enthusiast who was taking pictures not far away, and she sighed.

This scene was keenly captured by Haruhiko, who asked, "Want to take a picture?"

"There will be a risk of exposure." Haibara Ai shook her head.

"Let's go, let's keep it as a souvenir." Haruhiko took her little hand and walked over there, wanting him to take a photo of her.

"Didn't I say we don't need it? What if the photos are taken by the people from the Black Organization..." Before Haibara Ai could finish her words, she was pulled away by Haruhiko.

Haruhiko pulled Haibara Ai and walked behind the handsome male photography enthusiast with a flat head. A strong smell of perfume penetrated his nose.

"Hello, could you please take a photo for us?" Haruhiko asked.

Junpei Kamei put down the camera, turned around and looked at the strange man and little girl who came over to chat with him, feeling a little surprised.
