Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 72 Conan: Prejudice in the Heart of a Person is Like a Mountain

Xiaolan bent down, touched Huijie and Xiaoai's heads, and said with a smile: "Then we will leave first. We will come to pick you up in a few days. See you then!"

Looking at Xiaolan's leaving figure, Xiaoai beside Huisuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Hearing the movement of Ai beside him, Huisuke turned his head and touched Ai's head.

Feeling the warmth coming from her head, Xiao Ai looked at Huisuke with some confusion, not understanding what he was doing, and asked blankly: "What are you doing?"

Seeing the dazed Ai, Huisuke smiled gently, looked at Ai with deep eyes and said, "I'm giving you warmth! Can't you feel it?"

Hearing what Huisuke said, Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at Huisuke, shook off the hand that Huisuke was pressing on her head and said, "Be normal, don't do things that don't fit your personality. It will only scare people!"

"I'm fine. It's just that as someone from the dark side, I can't help but be attracted to someone like Sister Xiaolan."

After just two sentences, Xiao Ai had returned to her usual calm and aloof image.

"I thought you needed my comfort." Huisuke spread his hands, looked at Xiao Ai who had returned to her normal state, and put his hand that had just been thrown away on Xiao Ai's head again, saying: "If you need, you can give me a hug."

When Xiao Ai heard what Huijie said, she glanced at Huijie and complained: "Shouldn't you give me a hug?"

However, Xiao Ai knew that Huisuke wanted to help her get out of her depressed mood, so she waved her hand and turned to walk towards the laboratory, saying, "I'm not that kind of fragile girl. I can adjust myself!"

At the stairs, Xiao Ai turned around suddenly, gave Hui Jie a hug, and said: "However, considering that you are kind-hearted and have worked hard even if you have not made any contribution, I will still give you a hug!"

Without waiting for Huisuke to respond, Ai immediately let go, hurried into the underground laboratory and locked the door.

Looking at Xiao Ai's performance, Huisuke looked towards the laboratory door with a smile, muttering: "What a tsundere who loves to show off!"

……

At the same time, in the interrogation room of the Metropolitan Police Department.

A group of ferocious-looking men formed a circle and looked viciously at Officer Takagi who was sitting in the middle of the interrogation room.

"Don't pretend to be stupid for me!"

"Going to a class reunion, do you think you can fool me with such an excuse?"

A bald policeman with a cigarette in his mouth, who looked more like a gangster than a gangster, stood up and slammed the table in front of Officer Takagi.

"Report! Major discovery! We found two tickets to watch football from Takagi! They were purchased two weeks ago!"

A policeman rushed in and handed the football tickets to Officer Shiratori.

"Two weeks!"

"Takagi, you, have you planned this in advance?"

"If we hadn't been so cautious, we would have been tricked into this tropical underwater paradise by this guy!"

Seeing this scene, Officer Takagi suppressed the joy in his heart. Fortunately, he had guessed the current situation when he asked Conan for advice before.

Before the post office robbery, Officer Takagi told the other police officers the truth that the place where he and Officer Sato had a date was a tropical underwater park.

But he had already bought tickets to watch the football game before that, in order to mislead other police officers and make them think that the tropical underwater park was just a bait. Even if the other police officers did not find the tickets, Officer Gao Mu would have "inadvertently" revealed the news.

Thinking of this, Officer Takagi used all his acting skills to hold back his laughter in his heart, but when he felt that the police around him were looking at him with a grin, his face changed.

……

The next day, at Dr. Agasa's house.

Looking at the tickets in his hand, Dr. Agasa asked Terusuke, "Officer Shiratori sent me some tickets to the Tropical Undersea Park as a thank you for what happened last time. How about we go there tomorrow?"

Dr. Agasa asked Conan and the others while holding a handful of tickets.

"Tropical Underwater Paradise?" Conan was a little confused when he heard this familiar place, but the question was soon answered.

After hearing what Dr. Agasa said, Mitsuhiko rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "If I remember correctly, Officer Takagi and Officer Sato also had a date there."

Ayumi clasped her hands together, made a praying gesture and said, "Yes, I hope we can meet Officer Sato and Officer Takagi."

Genta, who was standing behind Ayumi, put his hands on his hips and said confidently, "Well! Let us, the Junior Detective Team, protect their date!"

Hearing what they said, Conan thought speechlessly: "Your best protection for them is to stay away from them."

After hearing what Mitsuhiko said, Conan understood. If nothing unexpected happened, the origin of these tickets was that Officer Takagi tricked Officer Shiratori and the others into the football field, so he gave the useless tickets to Dr. Agasa.

Thinking of Officer Takagi's previous request to him, Conan sighed, but he knew that he could not persuade Genta and the others by himself, so he could only pray for Officer Takagi in his heart, hoping that he would not meet the Junior Detective League tomorrow.

Dr. Agasa nodded, then looked at Terusuke and Ai and asked, "Ai, are you and Terusuke going?"

Ai nodded in agreement to Dr. Agasa, and Huisuke also nodded. He then glanced at Ai and saw that her expression had not changed since she came out of the laboratory yesterday, and said to her:

"Based on my experience, if you act with Conan, you will definitely encounter cases, so I suggest you act separately from him!"

After hearing what Huisuke said, Xiao Ai's calm expression instantly broke and she couldn't help but smile.

Conan, who was standing by, felt a little dissatisfied when he heard what Terusuke said, but when he thought about his experience with Terusuke, he felt powerless to refute it.

Seeing this, Xiao Ai raised her lips slightly and said to Conan: "Why is the famous detective silent? Do you also agree with the title of the God of Death?"

Conan glanced at Ai and said to Huisuke with some emotion: "The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain. No matter how hard you try, you can't move it."

"But it doesn't matter," Conan waved his hand and said with a confident smile, "Facts speak louder than words. By tomorrow, your rumors will be proven wrong."

……

Metropolitan Police Department, search lesson one.

Officer Megure held up the report, looked at Officer Chiba in front of him with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Are you saying that after receiving intelligence about drug dealers trading at the tropical underwater paradise, more than thirty police officers will go and ambush them tomorrow?"

Looking at the thirty-odd names on the list, Officer Chiba said with a stiff upper lip, "Yes, Officer Shiratori will personally oversee this operation!"

"Have all the officers gone, Officer Shiratori?" Officer Megure heard Officer Chiba's words and, out of trust in Officer Shiratori, approved the anti-drug operation involving more than 30 police officers.
