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

"Um..." Conan began, maintaining a serious demeanor, "You two only met that rainy night, right?"

Higashino Ning immediately shook his head.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough!

He said it himself: how could we be so intimate after only knowing each other for a short time?

Then Higashino Ning's words broke his defenses.

"Strictly speaking, Ai and I only officially met that day at your classmate's house."

Conan leaned back sharply, his face filled with horror. "And then what about your relationship now???"

Higashino Ning straightened his collar and took Haibara Ai's hand in his own. "Yes, I have a younger sister and a girlfriend. They both live with me."

Conan's brain has crashed and needs to be rebooted.

Ai Haibara's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.

Her relationship with Higashino Ning was thus openly acknowledged, even in front of others.

Does this also mean that her status as his girlfriend has officially taken effect?

This was different from what Ai Haibara had anticipated, and also different from the scenario she had envisioned.

There was no confession of love, no roses.

But one must have a sincere heart and the composure and calmness to face different opinions.

wrong.

There are two.

There are two portions.

If you hold hands, you're considered a couple...

Conan's brain is still very sharp; the reboot didn't take too long, enough to beat 99.99% of Earth Online users.

As for accepting it... he felt that Ai Haibara was now in elementary school, which was a bit too much of a challenge to ethical boundaries.

To say you can't accept it... well, Ai Haibara is actually 18 years old, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Should we advise these two not to do... well... things that are currently a bit inappropriate?

Conan thought about it and realized he was overthinking things.

Higashino Nemuro is a policeman, and Ai Haibara is no fool either.

Even if those two really do something, it doesn't seem to be his place to interfere.

Conan quickly composed himself, "Well... congratulations in advance, I hope you can make it to the end."

He jumped off the sofa and looked at Ai Haibara. "I came here today to ask if you wanted to go camping with us tomorrow, organized by Professor Agasa."

Ai Haibara subconsciously turned her gaze to Ning Higashino.

Higashino Ning shrugged. "You decide these things yourself. I don't usually interfere with you."

"Oh! You think you're right to ignore me all the time, huh!" Ai Haibara reached out her hand. "My allowance is almost gone."

hiss......

No, we've only just started dating, right?

And then you suddenly changed into this?

At this moment, Ai Haibara couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Idiot, you looked so confused just now."

She opened her arms for a hug, "Ah Ning, you're so cute!"

Ah... Ah Ning?

Why does it sound like a girl?

My goodness... I got goosebumps all over my body instantly!

The Conan: Air version has the same feeling.

He felt he shouldn't be inside the house, but on the roof.

I want to leave, but I really don't want to make any noise.

Pure torture!

Speaking of myself and Xiaolan...

Conan is frustrated with himself, but look at Inspector Higashino!

However, Conan eventually got the chance to leave.

After he left, Higashino Ning also took Haibara Ai out.

Although we can't go to faraway places or tourist attractions for the time being, we can always visit the local tropical parks, right?

The two had just decided to visit the spot where Conan got hit by a stick, and now they set off without hesitation.

The tropical park has six themed islands, but due to time and energy constraints, the two of them only managed to visit three islands by the time the park closed.

It's really fun inside.

It's quite a coincidence that when Higashino Ning first came to Tokyo from Kyushu, he worked part-time at a tropical park.

Come back home.

Take a bath.

Take separate breaks.

I've already said far too much today on the street and in the park, so it's good to give my language system some time to recover.

The moon hides while the sun appears.

Higashino Ning got up early to prepare breakfast. After watching Ai Haibara, Professor Agasa, and the others leave, he drove to the Metropolitan Police Department for work.

Even when they were still several hundred meters apart, he saw a large group of reporters gathered at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department.

and many more.

Have we seen this scene before?

Higashino parked the car some distance away as before, then jogged towards the Metropolitan Police Department.

As expected, today was another public promotion ceremony.

Because the procedures were the same as before, this ceremony proceeded much faster.

Chaoyang happened to walk up behind him.

This time, it wasn't Inspector Megure who made the announcement; it was Superintendent Matsumoto.

With a scar on his left eye and a serious expression, Matsumoto Kiyotaka loudly announced in the slanting sunlight:

"On behalf of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, I hereby formally offer a new promotion opportunity to our outstanding detective, Higashino Ning, and confer upon him the rank of Inspector of the First Investigation Division!"

Chapter 131: Conversation with Shiratori Ninzaburo

Police Department!

Higashino Ning accepted the brand-new police officer's ID card with both hands.

He expressed his gratitude to his superiors, pledged to the organization for its trust, and promised to do better and better in the future, and to eradicate evil.

Matsumoto Kiyona patted Higashino Ning's shoulder hard, "Do a good job, I have high hopes for you."

...

The promotion ceremony ended quickly.

What followed was a barrage of interviews, which became incredibly annoying.

Higashino Ning patiently answered questions and posed for photos, his face practically frozen from smiling.

The work wasn't finished until noon, because the Metropolitan Police Department was going to hold a press conference about him in the afternoon.

It was tiring, but I also enjoyed it quite a bit.

After all, he had already warmed up the police officer's ID card with his police inspector rank in his pocket.

It smells so good!

noon.

After finishing his meal, Higashino Ning returned to the Metropolitan Police Department. He planned to ask Takagi Wataru about the situation in Nara and see if the protection plan for Tomoguchi Shigehiko's family had been implemented effectively.

Although he promised Shigehiko Tōguchi to protect his family, in reality, aside from providing official assistance, Nene Higashino didn't have any particularly good solutions on his own.

Ultimately, it's still too weak.

Even though he is now a police inspector and has reached the top 10% of the police system, it is still not enough.

Logically speaking, Shigehiko Toguchi should have had some expectations in mind.

Rather than saying he believed Higashino Ning could protect his family, it would be more accurate to say he believed the organization would not pursue the matter further after his death and would leave his family a possible future.

Shigehiko Toguchi's gambler mentality permeated almost his entire life.

...

Upon entering the First Investigation Division's office, Takagi Wataru was not there.

Instead, Shiratori Ninzaburo sat in Higashino Ning's seat.

Upon seeing him approach, Shiratori Ninzaburo, who had been flipping through a Sherlock Holmes collection, closed the book and chuckled, "Congratulations, Inspector Higashino."

He glanced at the book in his hand. "Does reading novels like this really help with solving cases?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo said with some emotion, "If it's useful, I'll buy a set and see."

Higashino Ning walked over, intending to pull up a chair and sit down, but the other person stood up first, saying, "Let's talk in my office."
