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

Ai Haibara, the housekeeper, emphasizes simplicity and frugality; a sandwich with ham is already the top-tier food for this mountain climbing trip.

Higashino Ning suddenly felt like a domineering CEO hiding his true identity, watching his young wife meticulously budget for their livelihood and contemplating when to reveal it.

However, his economic strength is still far from that of a domineering CEO.

As the sun drew closer to the center of the sky, drowsiness arrived as expected.

...

Tokyo.

Mihua General Hospital.

The effects of the anesthetic had long since worn off, but deep sleep continued.

After a short while, Conan slowly opened his eyes.

Deep sleep is a good medicine for the body. Although the wound is still throbbing, he feels quite comfortable overall.

At least he survived.

Those kids... they really know how to cause trouble. We absolutely can't do that again next time.

It seems he's quite resilient; neither Gin nor the three boys killed him.

My gaze shifted, and I saw Ran Mouri lying on the hospital bed, fast asleep.

Even though he couldn't see her face, Conan was still somewhat mesmerized.

Judging from the current situation, Xiaolan should have completely confirmed his identity and is just waiting to make it public.

Xiaolan had suspected him several times before, and this time she directly told the doctor that the two of them had the same blood type.

Ironically, before he was shot, he was still asking Haibara for advice, repeatedly agonizing over whether or not to tell Ran his true identity, and now...

Conan couldn't help but smile wryly.

He not only underestimated the Black Organization, but also underestimated his childhood sweetheart.

Ran Mouri may seem a bit dull and clumsy at times, but she actually has a clever and insightful mind.

"Why doesn't Xiaolan just expose me directly?"

Conan leaned back on the bed, hands supporting his weight, deep in thought.

Based on his understanding of Ran Mouri, the other party should have questioned him several days ago.

It's a bit hard to figure out...

dong dong dong~

The door opens.

Kogoro Mouri tiptoed into the room. Seeing that Conan was already awake, he yawned and said, "You should thank Ran and Inspector Higashino properly."

"She gave you 400cc of blood and took care of you all night. Officer Dongye helped you get the scarce type A blood, otherwise... you little brat might already be dead by now."

Conan: "..."

That sounds a bit like gloating, uncle, do you really want me to get hurt?

probably not.

Just as Conan was about to speak, Kogoro Mouri leaned closer and threatened seriously, "You took so much blood from Ran. If you don't get better soon, you'll regret it, you know?"

"Uh...yes!" Conan sensed the concern hidden beneath the bumbling detective's threat.

However, looking at it this way, he can't be considered to have a tough life; at most, he can only be considered lucky.

When facing Gin, it was luck that he chose to use drugs, and it was also luck that he only shrank and didn't die after taking the drugs.

When faced with serious injury, it was luck that the bullet didn't hit a vital spot, and it was also luck that Haibara called the police in time, and that Inspector Higashino arrived in time, etc.

He has some ability, but luck plays a big role.

In this state, what is there for him to be proud of?

Conan understood.

He wanted to combine the strengths of both Higashino Ning and Haibara Ai.

As steady as Ai Haibara, and as steady yet unpredictable as Ning Higashino.

No, it doesn't seem like these can be considered two separate entities.

At that moment, Ran Mouri slowly woke up.

Looking up and seeing Conan, she immediately showed a surprised expression, "Conan, you're awake! Do you feel unwell, or is there anything you want to eat?"

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing nearby, immediately complained, "Ran, you should at least take care of yourself."

Ran Mouri gently shook her head. "Dad, I'm fine."

As she spoke, she patted her face and stood up. "Then I'll go home and cook first, and bring it over later. I'll leave Conan in your care for now, Dad."

Ran Mouri left happily.

Conan felt a heavy weight in his heart, a sense of unease creeping over him.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at the door and then at Conan. "Do you need to use the restroom? If you plan to lie down for a while longer, I'll go call the doctor to check on you and ask when you can be discharged."

Conan didn't want the bumbling detective to accompany him to the toilet, so he shook his head and refused, "Uncle, you go ahead, I can manage on my own."

He would continue to struggle with whether or not to confess for a while.

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!

But whenever Xiaolan asks, he admits it directly.

...

Shikoku.

Ai Haibara squatted on the ground, her computer on a rock. She looked serious and typed rapidly, the crisp sound of the keyboard quite pleasant.

"Copying the data will just take a while."

The little girl wiggled her fingers and pulled a wireless network card out of her pocket. "I just don't know if this internet speed is fast enough for me to download some other files."

Higashino Ning didn't know what to say either, "Hmm... let's get started. There's plenty of time, we can take our time, no need to rush."

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at him, "We have to be careful, okay? It's only 30 minutes. Do as much as we can, and then we'll run."

"What about the computer?" Higashino Ning raised an eyebrow.

The little girl replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, we'll just leave it here, or smash it."

"No!" Dongye Ning quickly stopped him. "Let's just run. There's no need to smash it. It's good enough that the organization made a wasted trip."

Okay then.

Ai Haibara inserted the wireless network card and continued the operation.

As a result, we encountered difficulties right from the start.

A password is required to access the organization's network.

That's quite normal, though. After she defected from the organization, she disappeared without a trace, so the organization would definitely change the password.

Before Higashino Ningdu could even speak, Haibara Ai grabbed the CD containing the saved information and ran away, yelling, "Idiot, we should go!"

what?

Girl, you're so steady!

Higashino Ning followed suit and ran away, conveniently using the system space to reclaim the computer.

It would be such a waste to leave this thing here like this; he can study it secretly later.

Chapter 141 Should we overcome our shyness?

Although it was deep in the mountains and forests, Higashino Ning and his companion still planned their route using a map before they arrived.

We're taking a different route down the mountain now, and we'll take a bus back to the city later.

Along the way, Ai Haibara imagined with a cheerful mood the scene of Gin rushing over only to find a computer.

Regardless of whether she actually played a significant role, as long as the organization is unhappy, she's happy.

Higashino Ning followed behind, still unsure of what to say.

This doesn't seem to have made Ai Haibara happy, since the computer disappearing for no reason and being unable to find it no matter what would have made Gin furious.

After walking for a while without seeing any men in black, Ai Haibara relaxed even more, skipping and jumping around happily.

Higashino Ning would occasionally remind her to watch her step, and the little girl would turn around and make a face in response.

This is indeed the kind of personality a lively young girl should have. Being with her really makes you feel energetic and happy.

"Idiot, what's it like where you live?"

"You'll know when you see it for yourself."

"But I just want you to describe it to me first."

"Hmm...there are mountains and sea, trees and grass."

"Waaaaah, it's only been a few days and you've already started to brush me off! I can't live like this anymore!"

"There are very green mountains and a very blue sea, is that alright?"

"Hmph, there's not a shred of sincerity in them."

"..."

The two chattered and argued, startling a flock of birds.

When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, Ai Haibara said confidently, "Now that we have complete drug data, I think it won't be long before I can develop an antidote."

Higashino Ning nodded. "Okay, good luck."

"What will happen to my current identity then?" Ai Haibara asked worriedly, her brows furrowed with concern. "You went to so much trouble to get me this identity, and going back to my original form would make me even more vulnerable..."

"Then let's not change back for now." Higashino Ning straightened his backpack.
