Detective Conan: Is Miss Haibara planning to assault a police officer again today?

Chapter 126 What Vermouth Cares About

Higashino Ning's mind is working pretty fast these days.

He sighed and said, "He still wouldn't reveal any information. I couldn't help but want to punch him after we'd only been talking for ten minutes in the car."

"So... to avoid the news of me taking action against 'Bole' getting out, I had no choice but to come back directly."

Higashino Ning glanced at the time. "Besides, I haven't had a proper rest in a long time. I'll go home and get a good night's sleep first."

"The assassination attempt on him today failed. Those people hiding in the shadows should behave themselves for a while."

Vermouth carefully observed the expression on Higashino Ning's face.

It's really awful, you know?

From the moment they first met, Higashino Ning always looked awkward around her and often seemed to be deliberately keeping his distance.

This makes it difficult for her to judge whether someone is lying based on micro-expressions.

But it's unlikely that Higashino Ning would lie to "Officer Nagasawa," since they are colleagues with some relationship, and her questioning didn't reveal any strong ulterior motive.

Since that's the case... then she'll just pretend that Shigehiko Tobuchi didn't say anything to Ning Higashino.

Anyway, she planned to protect Dongye Ning for a while; such a promising young seedling needs to be nurtured.

Seeing that Higashino Ning seemed to be in a hurry to leave, Vermouth suddenly became interested and asked shyly, "Officer Higashino, don't you know what I wanted to tell you...?"

Higashino Ning took three steps back. "Um... well, I'm a little sleepy, so I'll be going now. See you another day."

Vermouth: "..."

No, Yuki Nagasawa isn't bad-looking, and her figure is quite alluring, isn't it?

Why are you avoiding her like this?

You two haven't crossed paths before!

Watching the Toyota speed away, Vermouth couldn't help but speculate, suspecting that Higashino Ning had a "girlfriend outside the entertainment industry" that no one else knew about.

That person is actually quite nice, very loyal.

Vermouth followed him out of the Metropolitan Police Department and disappeared into the darkness, while simultaneously calling Gin.

"The computer was not found. I have checked in detail. The police did not bring back a computer or anything like that."

"Well, you can investigate the rest. Logically speaking, this thing wouldn't just disappear into thin air. Maybe Pisko hid it beforehand or gave it to someone. After all, it's noticeable that the organization is becoming increasingly impatient with him."

"By the way, the operation to silence Shigehiko Tobuchi must continue. He seems to be hesitant about whether to reveal information about the organization."

"How do I know?"

"Heh, Shigehiko Tobu was planning to bring the police home tonight. If he hadn't run into a certain impatient guy, he might have already spilled everything."

"Don't worry about who they are, just get the assassination done tonight. Be direct and straightforward, since the police probably won't guess that the assassination will happen tonight."

In the Porsche 356A.

Gin didn't care about Vermouth's attitude when she spoke to him.

Even though Chianti and Gil don't usually speak to Gin with much respect, Gin doesn't seem to care.

In his view, as long as the other party is doing a good job for the organization, that's fine.

Although losing a computer is an urgent matter, it's important to remain calm. Rushing can easily lead to bigger mistakes.

He stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it away. "Your vacation isn't over yet. Are you planning to go back to the US later?"

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before continuing.

"I'll just stay in Japan for now and enjoy my retirement, and also take the opportunity to figure out what I've been worried about."

"Don't bother me during this time unless it's something particularly important. By the way, don't worry too much about the stolen computer. We can trace the IP address and wait for the thief to take the bait."

The phone hangs up.

Gin felt slightly annoyed. "I still find people who act mysteriously the most annoying."

Unfortunately, he couldn't control Vermouth; she could say whatever she wanted, or he could only watch helplessly.

The thing I've been worried about... tsk, I have absolutely no clue about it.

the other side.

Vermouth put away her phone and turned her gaze to the moon, which was faintly visible in the sky.

What she cared about was naturally the death of Shinichi Kudo.

The initial reason for disguising herself as Nagasawa Yuki and infiltrating the police station was to find death files or something similar.

The reason she kept Nagasawa Yuki's identity was because she couldn't find Kudo Shinichi's death file. Considering that her friend's son always liked to get involved with the police, she decided to stay.

In addition to the Metropolitan Police Department, she also impersonated Tomoaki Araide at Teitan Junior High School to conduct investigations, but unfortunately, she found nothing.

If you want to see someone alive, you want to see their corpse if they die.

Now she needs to focus on finding Shinichi Kudo.

Also, keep an eye on Higashino Ning.

"How about we go check on the Kudo family again tonight?"

"Never mind... that child probably doesn't dare to go home now."

...

The Kudo family.

Higashino Ning pushed open the door, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu.

It's almost eleven o'clock now.

I didn't see Ai Haibara.

Just to be on the safe side, Higashino Ning decided to go check out the other person's bedroom.

Although Ai Haibara didn't appear with Conan today, what if that girl has some wonderful little ideas of her own?

Go upstairs.

Higashino Ning intended to knock on the door, but found that it was only ajar and not closed.

crunch~

open the door.

A faint, sweet fragrance wafted into my nostrils, and the pale moonlight filled the room.

Higashino Ning looked towards the bed; there was someone there.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

Since you're already here, right?

Feeling guilty, Higashino Ning touched his nose and lowered his pace to continue walking forward.

The blanket covering the little girl wasn't very thick.

The other person was lying on their side with their back to the door, holding Miss Panda lying flat in their arms.

Ai Haibara's profile is still beautiful, with each strand of her messy hair finding its own place.

The soft sound of breathing made one even more reluctant to make any noise.

So beautiful.

Higashino Ning admitted that he was not very cultured and could not use sophisticated words of praise.

It's good to be at home.

He pulled his hand back from beside Ai Haibara's face.

But Ai Haibara still woke up.

There was no panic, nor the typical waking-up "woo woo woo" that girls usually make.

Ai Haibara naturally let go of Miss Panda and lay down, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ning Higashino.

After a short while, she freed her hands from the blanket, pulled back Dongye Ning's hand that she had pulled away, and gently placed it on her face.

She...she's so good at it!

The touch of a smooth, slightly cool face with a warm palm truly brings a wonderful sense of satisfaction and a desire for exploration.

I really want to pinch it again.

Just then, Ai Haibara suddenly stood up. "Alright, you've had a long day. Want something to eat?"

"No need, I'll just take a shower and go to sleep." Dongye Ning pulled his hand back from its natural descent. "I'll rest tomorrow, and then I'll tell you all about what happened today. I learned quite a lot."

"Good night."

Watching Higashino Ning leave the room, Haibara Ai shrugged helplessly and lay back in her warm bed to continue sleeping.

Chapter 127 Politicians Burning Themselves

Time flew by and it was 5 a.m. the next day.

And the location... is the Metropolitan Police Department.

Shigehiko Tobuchi died just a few tens of minutes ago.

The villa was destroyed by fire, and firefighters only managed to pull out one charred body, which included Shigehiko Tobuchi.

Well, Higashino Ning had anticipated this.

Shigehiko Tobu was also mentally prepared, otherwise, instead of one corpse, several would have been dragged out.

Everything that needed to be discussed was already said on the way to the villa.

Shigehiko Tobuchi believes that the organization will not give up and insists on ending this storyline with his own death, so that his family can have a peaceful and worry-free life.

Before Higashino Ning got out of the car and left, Tunguchi Shigehiko said, "Officer Higashino, let's leave it at that. You can investigate again when you're strong enough. I'm sorry I can't provide you with any information, and I'm also sorry I can't offer a definite reward for your help."
