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

Kogoro Mouri, Wataru Takagi, and the others next to him were still dumbfounded, completely unaware of Higashino Ning's actions.

However, both Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi, who was wearing a mask, had already smiled.

Ai Haibara also realized the same thing.

However, what the little girl is thinking about more now is "My silly boy is so handsome".

Shinichi Kudo hasn't dared to say a word so far, for fear of being recognized by anyone other than Ran Mouri.

He was indeed a little itchy to investigate the case, but for his own safety and Ran Mouri's safety, he preferred to remain silent.

Anyway, Heiji Hattori is here to handle the case, and it seems that even without his good friend's help, Inspector Higashino is already close to uncovering the truth of the case.

Moreover, he was following the other person's train of thought throughout this period.

One thing is certain: at least this time, Higashino Ning's reasoning was always half a step ahead of his.

Hurry up and resolve this... I need to meet with Xiaolan alone and reveal my true identity...

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!

Kogoro Mouri can now clearly feel the difference in the pace of the investigation.

Inspector Higashino and Inspector Megure have completely different styles!

The main problem is that he didn't have the opportunity to speak or express himself.

"Sigh... Inspector Higashino is still too young." Kogoro Mouri sighed inwardly, "How can his thinking be so unpredictable and erratic when solving cases?"

He straightened his tie and leaned closer, lowering his voice, "Inspector... I think we should send the creamer and stuff for testing first."

Higashino Ning waved his hand, "No need, we won't find anything strange in there, let's not waste our manpower and resources."

He felt that he had enough information and clues, and his memory of the script was complete. Solving the case quickly would save time.

Even though it's back to around 3 o'clock now, I still want to leave work!

Higashino Ning clapped his hands. "Alright, everyone look over here. I have something to say."

He gestured for everyone to be quiet, "Miss Hongshang herself just admitted that she drank the beverage first before realizing it was cola."

"So, at least when she received the drink, she thought it was coffee."

"Okay, so here's the problem. She went to the bathroom one minute before the show started, and when she came back, the theater was completely dark."

"Without any prior suspicion, in such a completely dark environment, and without any aversion to adding creamer to coffee, why didn't she add it?"

"Miss Hongshang, it's as if you knew in advance that the cup contained cola. How do you explain this?"

"By the way, the tip of your hat is almost soaked; you should explain that as well."

Chapter 165 Ran, I am Conan

After being reminded by Higashino Ning, everyone, including Kou Shang Mai herself, focused their attention on her hood.

Indeed, there were obvious water stains at the tip of the hood.

Without giving Kou Shangwu any time to think, Higashino Ning blurted out, "I think you probably put the potassium cyanide in the ice, right?"

"First, use a mold to make ice blocks, hollow out the cavity and pour in the poison, then seal the mouth with ice. That way, the preparations for the case are almost complete."

He stepped forward and grabbed Hong Shangwu's wrist, continuing to speak while meeting her trembling, evasive eyes: "All you need to do is put ice in both cups of coffee, and then just wait."

"The temperature wasn't particularly high today, so there's no reason for the ice to melt so quickly. But when we arrived, there wasn't a drop of ice in the cup, so the deceased must have had a habit of chewing ice."

Higashino Ning then took out the handcuffs with one hand and held them securely. "To be on the safe side, you should finish the cola as quickly as possible, and keep the ice cubes in your hood."

“It hasn’t rained yet, and you haven’t gone out. You only went to the bathroom once. I don’t think there’s any other reason why the tip of your hat would get wet.”

"Miss Hongshang, may I now handcuff you?"

The scene was a bit quiet.

“Hehe…Hehe…”

a long time.

Hong Shangwu shook her head and chuckled, her intermittent laughter containing a multitude of emotions.

She gently bit her lip, then nodded. "Officer, you're quite romantic. I'm willing to accept your invitation to go to jail."

As she spoke, she gracefully extended her hands.

Higashino Ning took a step back. "Takagi, handcuff him and take him away!"

No, is it in such a hurry?

I haven't even stated my motive for the crime yet!

Well, there's nothing more to say.

Hong Shangwuyi stopped struggling.

Having finished his unfinished task of kidnapping people, Takagi Wataru said, "Inspector, now..."

Higashino Ning coughed twice. "You guys take the prisoner back to the Metropolitan Police Department. I'm going straight home in a bit."

The police inspector wants to shirk his duties, and no one else can control him.

Takagi Wataru led the team away, and the case officially came to an end.

[The case has been solved. Congratulations, host, you have received 5 reward points.]

It was an ordinary case, but because Shinichi Kudo was involved, the reward was much higher.

With these five points added, Higashino Ning now has another 50 reward points.

Being a police inspector is great; you get to do all that work for free every day.

To be honest, Higashino Ning is already a little reluctant to leave Tokyo.

But staying isn't an option; one has to make long-term plans for promotion.

"Anyway, I'll be heading back to Tokyo sooner or later, so I might as well go whoring as much as I can before I leave."

at the same time.

Outside the theater.

Vermouth brushed her hair aside and lit a cigarette.

She left the theater when the case was almost settled; there was no point in staying any longer.

She planned to go back and review the follow-up plans while there was still time, and make full preparations to take down Shinichiro Araide.

"They almost kissed! I really don't know what Xiaolan was thinking."

Vermouth was somewhat amazed by the strange thoughts of young people these days, but at the same time she was quite glad that Conan had left early because he wasn't feeling well, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble he might have caused.

"He caught a bad cold after the shooting; it seems that the muddle-headed detective has no idea how to take care of people."

Vermouth glanced at the half-smoked cigarette and prepared to throw it away and stomp it out.

Just as she raised her hand, she caught a glimpse of Shinichiro, who had changed his clothes, carrying a bunch of drinks and walking towards the theater.

etc...!

Vermouth's eyes widened in surprise.

Shinichiro was just inside, so there's absolutely no way he could be standing outside now!

What if the Black Knight wasn't Shinichi Aragaki?

With this simple thought, Vermouth actually realized that the Black Knight was shorter than Araide Tomoaki.

She hurriedly threw away her cigarette butt and rushed back to the theater, where she saw the Black Knight and Shinichi Araide together.

Now that the case has been solved, the theater is packed with people again.

Vermouth hid in the crowd and took a picture of the stage with her phone.

Continuing the performance was clearly not feasible, and the audience was clamoring for the Black Knight to take off his helmet so they could see his true face.

Shinichi Kudo will never take off his mask!

After offering a few perfunctory words, Shinichi Kudo quickly led Ran Mouri away.

Kogoro Mouri was unhappy again, but he was a little slow to react and was also frantically blocked by Sonoko Suzuki.

At this moment, Ran Mouri had already recognized Shinichi Kudo by his voice. If she wanted to resist, even ten Shinichi Kudos couldn't take her away.

Vermouth is another person who recognized Shinichi Kudo by his voice.

Conan...Shinichi Kudo...

Vermouth's eyes narrowed, and she had already made a guess.

"So Sherry is staying with Shinichi?"

"Could it be that my line of thinking is wrong too? Has Sherry already reverted to her original body, or even earlier?"

"It was definitely the right thing to keep my identity."

Vermouth has already started worrying about Shinichi Kudo's future life.

In her opinion, Conan is safer; the probability of Shinichi Kudo being targeted is far too high.

"Please put in some extra effort... Yukiko, you'll owe me a huge favor."

Vermouth quietly left again.

With the Black Knight gone, Higashino Ning, a figure in the news, became the target of the students' barrage of questions.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

...

Backstage.

Ran Mouri didn't want to run anymore, so she pulled Shinichi Kudo to stop.

She said nothing, she just stared at her black-clad knight.

Shinichi Kudo knew it was time to take off his mask.
