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

Higashino Neiya formally bid farewell to Mouri Kogoro.

"Mr. Mori, Ai and I will be leaving now. We'll come to visit Conan another day."

The bumbling detective shook his hand firmly, "I'm really sorry to have troubled you so much, Officer Higashino. If you hadn't arrived in time, perhaps..."

“Not at all, it’s my duty.” Higashino Ning chuckled. “Mr. Mori was also a policeman, so you should understand how I feel right now. So I won’t waste any more words.”

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri chuckled and solemnly patted Ning Higashino on the shoulder, "Hmm!"

Chapter 136 Another freebie?

It was quite late when I left the hospital.

Higashino Ning's car got quite a bit of blood on it from bringing Conan to the hospital, so Takagi Wataru drove it back to the Metropolitan Police Department and helped take it to be cleaned.

Since the damage to private property occurred during official business, the cleaning costs were reimbursed by the unit, and it wasn't too much trouble. The car will be sent to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow.

"Takagi should be done with his work by now."

Higashino Ning glanced at the time, then looked at the empty street.

The two had made a promise when Takagi Wataru left the hospital that Wataru would come over that night to take him and Ai Haibara home, and they would have a late-night snack on the way back.

This little thing today has made everyone miss dinner.

Just as Higashino was about to call Takagi Wataru, he saw a familiar car driving up from the street.

boarding.

Takagi asked with concern, "How is the situation?"

Higashino fastened his seatbelt. "The surgery was a success, and you're out of danger."

"That's good." Takagi Wataru breathed a sigh of relief. "These kids really do tend to encounter dangers that ordinary people might never face in their entire lives."

He stepped on the gas. "I've finished the case file. Remember to check it tomorrow."

Higashino Ning said casually, "No need to look. Do you think I don't trust you to handle things?"

As he spoke, he looked towards the back seat and asked, "By the way, Officer Sato, why didn't you drive yourself today?"

Miwako Sato was sitting in the back seat, interacting amicably with Ai Haibara.

The scenario is described as follows:

Miwako Sato said she really wanted to see Ai Haibara make that puffed-up pufferfish face.

The naive Ai Haibara did as instructed.

The little girl puffed out her tender cheeks and closed her eyes tightly, looking absolutely adorable.

Then, Sato Miwako got her wish and raised her finger to gently poke Ai Haibara's face, while letting out a pleasant laugh.

Ai Haibara, realizing she'd been tricked, reached out to scratch the ticklish spot on her older sister's waist.

Upon hearing the question, Sato Miwako stopped joking around and instead hugged Haibara Ai tightly, laughing, "I wasn't planning on coming along."

"But thanks to you guys, those criminals happen to be the bank robbers I'm tracking down, so they came along to thank you~"

Higashino Ning snorted twice. "Well, I didn't hear you say thank you either. I bet you just wanted Takagi to take you home."

Sato Miwako instantly put on her beady eyes and froze completely.

Takagi Wataru clenched his teeth in astonishment.

The policewoman reacted quickly, turning her head away immediately. "I didn't expect that you would be the one teasing me when Yumi wasn't around."

She deliberately put on airs, saying, "Although you have a higher position than me now, I'm still considered your senior."

Higashino Ning surrendered, "Okay, okay, let me put it another way. Do you want Takagi to take you home, or do you want Takagi to take you home? Which do you think is better?"

Sato, Takagi: "..."

What exactly is the difference between them?

The car fell silent.

The moonlight appeared and disappeared intermittently beneath the drifting clouds.

Everyone has their own worries to keep them to themselves.

Since it was already past 1 a.m., the four of them randomly found a shop on the street to have a late-night snack.

The food tastes good and is filling, but the selection is too limited, and many ingredients are basically sold out.

Arrived home, got off the bus.

"Be careful on the road."

"Ah."

After watching the car drive away, Higashino Ning and Haibara Ai went inside together.

As soon as she entered, Ai Haibara couldn't wait to ask, "Idiot, idiot, what was it that you said was something that made you happy?"

She unconsciously took light, twirling dance steps, radiating youthful energy. As her hair moved with her body, it perfectly outlined her innocent charm.

"Don't tell you."

Higashino Ning squatted down. "Guess for yourself."

Ai Haibara's large eyes sparkled with intelligence, darting around and around.

Ultimately, she chose to bribe someone after a moment of spite, a pout, and serious consideration.

Mua~~~

Higashino Ning was stunned.

Another freebie?

No, it's not like I gave it away for free, since I have to explain the facts now.

Ai Haibara didn't think there was anything wrong with it. What's wrong with kissing your boyfriend?

She looked as if she were wearing the Emperor's New Dress over her overalls. With light, graceful steps, she clasped her hands behind her back and tilted her head habitually. "Can I tell you now, my dear Higashino-nii~"

As she spoke, she suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, "Speaking of which, you wouldn't have prepared some kind of surprise gift for me, would you?"

"Like going to Walmart specifically to buy me American blueberry jam and peanut butter."

"Or did you buy me a new Prada bag?"

"After all, you're not the type to go with me to see biographical or documentary films, and you don't seem like the kind of person who would have time to learn astrology and divination."

it is good.

This is a complete waste.

Higashino Ning tapped her other cheek. "One isn't enough."

"Hey!" Ai Haibara stomped her foot angrily, "Don't push your luck!"

That being said, her movements had already kept up.

This time, the warmth stayed on my face for much longer.

Because Ai Haibara herself was also a little confused at this moment, her mind suddenly stopped flowing with thoughts, and instead, some inexplicable feelings were entangled and spreading.

She took back the kiss and pursed her lips.

It seems... my feelings for him have deepened.

"wait for me."

Higashino Ning went straight to the living room, and when she came back, she was carrying a bag. "I received a windfall today, so I went and bought a bag that you like."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Ai Haibara was quite surprised.

After all, this was the first gift she received from Higashino Ning.

But she didn't hesitate for even half a second before pushing it back, "Brother~ take it and return it. I just like it, I don't necessarily need it."

"I have enough money to buy this bag..."

Before she could finish speaking, Dongye Ning covered her mouth with his hand and said seriously, "You know, I'm a person who likes to save money."

"Buying this is definitely within our family's budget, so please keep it."

"I'm not good with words, so you have to give me some other ways to express my feelings."

There was a long silence.

Ai Haibara suddenly took a small bite out of his hand. "You're lying!"

Higashino Ning was dumbfounded. "When did I lie to you?"

The little girl pouted and said angrily, "You promised you'd tell me if I guessed it!"

"So..." she said, looking aggrieved, "you just lied to me about two kisses!"

"There can only be one at most!" Higashino Ning tried to argue. "The first one can't be counted no matter what, you kissed me first, and then you guessed it yourself!"

Ai Haibara: "......"

Brother, why are you actually arguing with me?

What you should be saying now is something like, "Then I'll give these two kisses back to you. If you don't mind, I can give you another one!"

Fine, if you like idiots, you have to be understanding of them.

Just as her heart was fluttering, Dongye Ning, with the decisiveness of a warrior cutting off his own arm, pulled out his bank card and handed it over, saying resolutely, "Didn't I say before that only my wife can manage my money?"

"Now... it's your responsibility!"

Ai Haibara: "!!!"

Oh no, it turns out she's just not skilled enough.

This guy has an even more powerful move!

Fine, if you like straightforwardness, then you have to accept it.
