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

Chapter 22 Ai Haibara visits

Tokyo's nights are not peaceful.

Because Conan went out.

When Higashino Ning woke up, newspapers with the headline "Famous University Professor Murdered at Home Last Night" had already been delivered to newsstands and were even being broadcast on television news.

"That's really impressive. One phone call and they cursed someone to death."

Of course, this is just a joke.

Higashino Ning scratched his head, stretched, and then convulsed and howled as if he were about to mutate.

"Ding dong~"

Just then, the sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted Higashino Ning's evolutionary process.

"Takagi?"

Dongye Ning frowned, continued yawning and walked towards the door, "Coming, coming. I'll replace the doorbell with one that doesn't ring sooner or later."

Open the door.

wink.

Ai Haibara stood at the doorway, giving him a disdainful look from head to toe, and then pretended to cover her nose and back away.

"If you're replacing it with a doorbell that doesn't ring, what's the point of installing a doorbell in the first place? Is it just a waste of time for people who need to contact you?"

As she spoke, she pushed against Dongye Ning's stomach with one hand, and then changed her shoes and went into the house.

"I mean... you didn't just get up, did you?" Ai Haibara looked at the crumpled cushions and thin blankets on the sofa, then at the mess on the table, and went to the window to forcefully pull the curtains open halfway.

The sunlight streaming into the room has a somewhat uplifting effect.

Haibara sighed, grabbed a bag, and swept all the unwanted food wrappers on the table into it.

Only this small area of ​​Higashino Ning's house was messy; when she first came, everything else was clean and tidy.

This shows that Higashino Ning is not an unclean person; he is just used to living alone and only considers his own schedule when cleaning, without considering that someone might come to visit.

They seem quite free, but in reality, they are pitiful creatures with a severe lack of social interaction.

No, that statement isn't entirely accurate, since there are indeed people who enjoy this kind of lifestyle.

However, Ai Haibara was certain that Higashino Ning was not that kind of person at heart, because she had repeatedly sensed his emotional fluctuations of "needing companionship."

"What brings you here?" Higashino Ning approached in slippers, squatted down, and then curiously drew closer. "Your eyes look a little red and swollen. Were you bullied at Professor Agasa's house? It can't be that bad, Professor Agasa is quite nice. So, Conan..."

"What are you babbling about?" Ai Haibara pushed away Higashino Ning, who was almost face to face with her, and subconsciously sat down on the sofa, gently touching the area around her eyes with her fingers. "The Doctor is very good to me, you don't need to worry about anything."

Ai Haibara did cry, after she came back last night.

She never expected that Conan would be involved in her sister Akemi Miyano's entire mission and that he would even hear her sister's last words before she died.

The savior of the Japanese police, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era... With so many titles, Shinichi Kudo must be an extremely capable person, right?

But why didn't he save his own sister...?

Ai Haibara asked Conan a question, but Conan remained silent.

After returning to the doctor's house, she curled up in bed and cried her heart out.

No one in this world is as strong as iron forever. No matter how much she told herself to be cheerful and optimistic and adjust her mindset, she ultimately couldn't withstand the onslaught of her emotions.

She cried herself to sleep.

I woke up while I was sleeping.

I don't know why, maybe she wanted to tease Higashino Ning for some fun, or maybe she wanted to banter and tease each other to distract herself... In any case, Ai Haibara really wanted to see Higashino Ning, so she came.

Higashino Ning continued to stare at Ai Haibara, and said calmly, "You don't seem to be very good at pretending."

Ai Haibara glared at him. "Then just pretend you didn't see it!"

Then Higashino Ning's eyes cleared up, and he stood up to look around, pretending to take off his athletic shorts.

Ai Haibara blushed instantly, "What are you going to do!?"

Higashino Nezuko stood on one leg and said, "Take a bath."

"Then go take your clothes off in the bathroom, you bastard!"

"Didn't you tell me to pretend I couldn't see it?"

Ai Haibara: "......"

Okay, okay, you've always been good at making excuses.

Her body shrunk considerably instantly, and her voice was low, "The crying is because of something else, it has nothing to do with the Doctor."

Higashino Ning replied seriously, "Oh."

Ai Haibara was completely dumbfounded.

Are you just going to reply with just an "oh"?

Then why are you asking me this?!

She felt she had found the holy grail for treating low blood pressure.

You really don’t want to say that.

All worries and sorrows disappear immediately upon coming over!

but!

I'm so angry right now!

Never mind, I need to be more polite.

Ai Haibara took two deep breaths, thinking she had calmed down, and opened her eyes, intending to retort to Ning Higashino.

But the other party has already disappeared.

The sound of water in the bathroom was quite noticeable.

Okay, I'm even angrier now.

Men are allowed to shower, one every ten minutes.

Higashino Ning deliberately washed for a while longer, hoping to drag out Ai Haibara's rage.

He succeeded.

Back in the living room, Ai Haibara was in a very peaceful state, and the sofa, which had been a bit messy, had been tidied up by her.

"Miss, you have crossed the line."

Higashino Ning dried his hair with a towel, his impatience for not speaking up forced him to act like a jerk.

Ai Haibara quickly understood what he meant by those words.

However, Ai Haibara wasn't angry. Instead, she grinned mischievously and said, "I was just helping to tidy up because I didn't like it. It's you who should be overstepping your bounds by saying things like that, isn't it?"

"Besides... Officer, I'm just a primary school student. Is it really appropriate for you to say things like that to me?"

Higashino Ning hung up the towel and looked towards the window. "I have guests today, so I hope you'll behave and not cause any trouble."

Ai Haibara frowned. "You have guests? What time are you coming? If it's really inconvenient, I can go back first."

However, Higashino Ning walked towards the window as if somewhat angry, and his tone became several times harsher, "I've already said there are guests here, can you please stop acting like this?!"

Ai Haibara's bewildered eyes gradually turned to terror. "Who...who are you talking to...?"

The breeze blows.

The curtains billowed in the wind.

Higashino Ning glanced quickly at Ai Haibara, "It's nothing, don't worry about it."

After saying that, he rushed forward and started wrestling with the curtains.

Although Ai Haibara wasn't startled by the sudden movement and screamed, she still couldn't help but shrink back.

No, no, this guy is definitely just trying to scare her!

Ai Haibara was about to shout that Higashino Ning should stop these stupid tricks immediately.

However, a shrill female voice came from behind the curtains, almost scaring Haibara Ai into flying.

"Higashino, what are you doing? This is really scary!"

"Ah...haha...I'm sorry, Mrs. Mizumiya, I was trying to fix the curtains, but the wind was too strong and I couldn't hold them."

Listening to the harmonious conversation between neighbors, Ai Haibara got up and stepped forward, slowly approaching, and then bit Higashino Ning's arm without hesitation.

Huge mouth!

Two minutes later.

Higashino Ning wiped his arm clean with a towel, looked at the teeth marks on his arm and sighed, "Your teeth are surprisingly straight."

Ai Haibara snorted, "Who told you to dress up as a ghost and scare me?"

Higashino Ning retorted, "Let me reiterate, I didn't dress up as a ghost, it was the curtains that did."

Ai Haibara bit Higashino Ning twice in mid-air, startling him so much that he almost fell off his stool.

Seeing Higashino Ning's frightened expression, Haibara Ai smiled smugly.

Wait... why would I want to act like a dog?

It was supposed to be a battle between people, but she won by imitating a dog.

Ah this...
