The world of science is unscientific

That evening, Ai Haibara helped Yusuke Suzuki change his dressing.

After she finished carefully, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Remember not to get it wet. I'm going back to the professor's house now."

"Why do you want to go back again?"

Ai Haibara pouted and said, "I always feel like the Doctor might sneak some food that he can't eat when he's home alone. I'll do a surprise check when I get back. Besides, you don't need me to take care of you, right?"

"Don't worry, I'll take a taxi back, nothing will happen."

After saying that, Ai Haibara walked to the door, changed her shoes, and then looked back at Yusuke Suzuki. "Goodbye!"

After closing the door, Ai Haibara squatted down, stared at the seven roses for a while, silently picked them up, and took two steps out before turning back to knock on the door.

Ai Haibara stopped just as her fingers were about to touch the door.

Two minutes later.

Yusuke Suzuki stared blankly at the seven roses and lisianthus flowers on the table.

He had just opened the door when Haibara said to him with a wry smile, "Yusuke-nii, that lady probably still wants to send these flowers, right? She left them at the door."

He could tell that Ai Haibara's smile wasn't natural.

Because of his intervention, Conan didn't go to the hospital, and naturally, there was no scene where Ai Haibara scared Conan with a gun late at night.

However, the seven roses that were supposed to be given to Conan by Ai Haibara still appeared.

It came from Shimizu Reiko and was given to him by Haibara Ai.

And then, thinking back to Ai Haibara's unnatural expression...

Could it be that Ai Haibara also likes him?

Yusuke Suzuki has always rejected Reiko Shimizu, expressing it directly or indirectly several times, but his attitude towards Ai Haibara is different.

He used to treat Ai Haibara like a child and raise her like a younger sister, but that might not be possible now. Perhaps, the person he needs to face now is no longer Ai Haibara, but Shiho Miyano.

I feel a little dizzy and need to digest.

Yusuke Suzuki chose to go to sleep first, thinking he should have a proper talk with Reiko Shimizu in person the next day.

Shimizu Reiko did not come again the next day.

That evening, he went to the park but couldn't find the other person.

Sonoko Suzuki invited him to the fair again, and Ran Mouri also called him.

He felt he should go.

After Suzuki Yusuke returned to Japan, Kudo Shinichi was at the height of his fame, so it was normal for him to know of the other's existence.

However, after that, Shinichi Kudo disappeared from public view. Out of curiosity, when Shinichi Kudo reappears tomorrow, he will naturally have a reason to investigate the other party's whereabouts.

After all, Vermouth believed that he was unaware that Shinichi Kudo had been drugged by Gin.

So, as Kogoro Mouri's disciple, would Vermouth worry that after investigating Shinichi Kudo, he would gradually begin to suspect Conan?

Probably.

In this way, he would have leverage to threaten Vermouth. If she insisted on pursuing Ai Haibara, Suzuki Yusuke could use Conan to counter her.

If Vermouth stops targeting Ai Haibara, he could even join forces with her to slowly dismantle the organization.

. . . . . .

Teitan High School, school fair.

"Wow, there are so many people."

Yusuke Suzuki returned with two cups of coffee, handing one to Kogoro Mouri, and then looked at Conan, "Aren't you going to have something to drink?"

"No need, Yusuke-nii." Conan shook his head and obediently followed Kogoro Mouri.

"Honestly," Kogoro Mouri glanced down at Conan, "this kid suddenly caught a cold for some reason."

“Conan doesn’t want to catch a cold either,” Yusuke Suzuki said, taking a sip of his coffee. “By the way, when do Ran and the others start?”

"It should be soon," Kogoro Mouri glanced wistfully at the group of beautiful young women not far away. "Never mind, let's go."

Upon entering the venue, they found it already filled with audience members. Kogoro Mouri quickly pulled Yusuke Suzuki inside and found them a good spot to sit.

A moment later, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Yusuke-nii!"

He turned his head and saw Hattori Heiji waving at him.

"You're here too." Suzuki Yusuke gestured for Hattori Heiji to sit down next to him. "Where's Kazuha?"

“She went backstage to find Xiaolan and the others,” Detective Blackie complained. “Xiaolan is really something, she just told us yesterday that she almost couldn’t book a flight to come here.”

"They've been very busy with rehearsals these past few days," Yusuke Suzuki whispered to Heiji Hattori. "With you and Mr. Mori here today, there's bound to be another murder. Be prepared."

"Yusuke-nii, what are you saying? Only that confused old man would..." Hattori Heiji suddenly noticed Conan sitting motionless, and with a smile, he leaned over and pressed his hand on Conan's head. "Conan, why didn't you say hello to me?"

"I have a cold."

Ai Haibara, speechless, silently removed Heiji Hattori's hand from above her head.

"This guy's acting weird today..." Hattori Heiji wanted to ask more, but Suzuki Yusuke had to stop him.

Backstage, Kazuha Toyama had already met up with Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki.

“By the way,” Kazuha Toyama looked around and asked in confusion, “Where is Shinichi Kudo? You must have invited him, right?”

Ran Mouri said casually, "I didn't specifically invite him."

"Honestly, you've brought friends you haven't seen in ages, and even the neighbors," Sonoko Suzuki complained from the side, "Why didn't you invite your husband?"

"Xiaolan!"

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri arrived with Yusuke Suzuki and Kuroko Osaka. They asked the people around them to help remind others that the spot was already taken.

"Dad, and Yusuke-nii! You're here too."

Ran Mouri exclaimed excitedly, "I thought Yusuke Suzuki only agreed out of politeness. After all, it's normal that Yusuke doesn't have time to come since he's running a company now."

Yusuke Suzuki and Heiji Hattori greeted Ran Mouri separately.

"Conan, is your cold getting better?"

After greeting the adults, Ran Mouri bent down and looked at Conan, asking him softly.

"I'm all right."

"This guy, I originally told him to just stay home and sleep, but he said he had promised you he would definitely come," Kogoro Mouri said speechlessly.

Ran Mouri spoke a few more words to Conan, then stood up and looked at Yusuke Suzuki, "Where's Ai? Is she busy today?"

"Ai's parents came back from abroad to visit her today, but they're leaving soon, so they couldn't come. She asked me to tell you their apologies."

Yusuke Suzuki began to explain, but he couldn't help feeling a little sad. Ai Haibara's parents... she probably had almost forgotten what they looked like.

However, he still harbored doubts about the deaths of the Miyano couple, wondering if they were truly dead.

"Xiao Lan, can you come here for a second? I want to discuss the opening lines with you."

At that moment, Shinichiro, who was reading a script not far away, called out to Ran Mouri, while glancing at Yusuke Suzuki.

Yusuke Suzuki smiled slightly in a friendly manner, then asked his younger sister, "Sonoko, who is that person?"

"That guy is so handsome, I wonder if he'll be acting opposite Ran?" Kazuha Toyama exclaimed.

"Yeah, don't they look like a perfect match standing together? This guy is our school doctor, and lots of girls give him love letters."

Conan looked at Shinichiro Araide with a serious expression for a moment, then said, "I'll go to the audience first."

"Let's go together."

Yusuke Suzuki turned around and followed, pondering to himself, "Judging from Ai Haibara's behavior, she should be able to sense Vermouth, but she didn't show any fear. Why is that?"

It's probably because Vermouth deliberately changed her demeanor to disguise herself.

Chapter 61 We're Just Watching the Show

After the group left, Ran Mouri looked at Conan's retreating figure with a somewhat forlorn expression. Sonoko Suzuki noticed that there were less than fifteen minutes left and hurriedly said, "You should change into your costume and get ready too."

In the audience, Yusuke Suzuki ran to buy drinks for the people around him, thanking them for helping to hold their seats.

Heiji, which one do you want?

When Suzuki Yusuke returned to his seat for the second time, he first handed the coffee to Mouri Kogoro, and then looked at Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.

The two of them had a small argument about what to drink, so he simply went to buy it directly, narrowing down his choices.

"I'll have orange juice, thank you, Yusuke-nii."

Heiji Hattori casually picked up another glass for Kazuha Toyama. "Huh? Is this also orange juice?"

"So you won't keep arguing."

Yusuke Suzuki spoke calmly, but Kazuha Toyama blushed slightly upon hearing it.

"Heiji, I just noticed something rather strange."

Before the performance even started, Yusuke Suzuki decided to lay the groundwork for the case for Heiji Hattori.

"what's up?"

"I saw a girl carrying four bottles of drinks by herself."

“I see,” Hattori Heiji said, looking down in thought. “Putting aside the fact that it would be too much trouble for one person to carry so many drinks, if there are four girls, at least two of them should go together, and the rest will take up space.”

"If there were men present, there should have been at least two people together, so this girl's behavior is very strange."

"Could it be that everyone else went to the restroom?" Kazuha Toyama asked from the side.

“Idiot,” Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes. “If you and your friends went to buy drinks and there were so many people around, would you choose to go to the bathroom at that time? Even if you would, it would be too inconsiderate for all three of you to go at the same time.”

“That’s true,” Kazuha thought for a moment, “but we don’t need to think about it so much.”

Yusuke Suzuki kept quiet and didn't say anything more. He just gave Heiji Hattori a reminder that he wasn't impersonating Shinichi Kudo this time. He had come all this way, so he should be given some screen time.

He turned his gaze to the girl, after all, looking at beautiful women can prolong life.

Soon, the girl with the drink ran off again, so he had to look at another girl. Her hairstyle and hair color were very similar to Ai Haibara's, and she was also very pretty, but her temperament was gentler than Ai Haibara's, and she smiled more.
