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

After taking great care of his personal hygiene, he put on a light blue denim work jacket and went out, taking a taxi directly to the National Stadium.

The New Year's Day atmosphere on the street was very festive, and you could even see lion dances.

As a cultural vassal state of China, celebrating the New Year in Japan does indeed give the impression that we haven't fully ventured abroad.

Have you gone abroad?

As shown.

The area around the National Stadium was packed with people, colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and the sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers filled the air.

What did you say?

Once a person reaches ten thousand, there is no boundless shore.

The National Stadium can hold more than 50,000 spectators, and they are currently entering. The dozen or so entrances are blocked like a zombie apocalypse.

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!

Not long after we arrived at the agreed location, the Death Boys arrived side by side.

Since the three little ones had already mentioned it, Conan wasn't surprised by Higashino Ning's appearance. He just wanted to complain about why this guy's presence was increasing so rapidly.

Actually, it's not a big deal. The main thing is that Higashino Ning's increased presence coincided with Haibara Ai's entry into the scene.

That's really awkward.

Stealing a glance at Ai Haibara, Conan smiled wryly to himself, "If these two really are accomplices, that would be more acceptable."

The three little ones greeted him warmly, and Higashino Ning also responded enthusiastically.

The remaining Conan and Ai Haibara relationships are much less exciting.

Higashino Ning looked at Conan, "Didn't the professor come along?"

Conan shook his head. "Professor Agasa has a meeting to attend today."

Then, he asked curiously, "Officer Higashino's vacation is almost over, isn't it?"

Higashino Ning didn't quite get the point of Conan's question. "So?"

Conan, with his hands behind his head, laughed and said, "Because there have been a lot of news reports about Inspector Higashino these past two days, I think quite a few people want to see you in person. So, if you find it too troublesome, you might as well wear a mask or hat after the holiday."

You're quite a nice person.

Higashino Ning looked around and ran to a roadside vendor to buy a white hat with a back flap.

The so-called back-stamped cap is actually one of the variations of baseball cap.

I haven't seen anyone selling face masks, I'll think about it later.

Besides, wearing a mask would seem a bit pretentious, and he's not a big star, so it's not worth it.

Watching Higashino Ning's retreating figure, Conan was speechless. "He really is a man of action..."

Hearing this, Ai Haibara glanced at Conan and said, "I don't think your tone was very appropriate. What do you think?"

Conan: "..."

Chapter 27 Let me help you tie your hair

Was the tone inappropriate?

Should he have said this in a tone of great surprise and joy?

Conan found this a bit strange, and it didn't fit his personal style at all.

Instead of answering directly, he asked in return, "Is Officer Higashino really not related to you or that organization? You may not feel it, but since you appeared, he really seems to me to have a kind of... 'soaring to the sky' feeling."

Ai Haibara pouted, "I'm sure he has nothing to do with me or the organization."

She actually had a strange feeling towards the members of the organization, but Higashino Ning did not trigger her feeling.

After thinking for a moment, she continued, "As for 'soaring to the sky' or something, couldn't it be that he suddenly realized and made up his mind to do a good job in his career, and then just happened to encounter this counterfeit money case?"

This explanation left Conan momentarily speechless, unable to find a point of rebuttal.

Indeed, it is an objective fact that diligent people tend to achieve greater success when they encounter opportunities.

Seeing that Higashino Ning was about to return, Conan stopped overthinking.

Queue up, get your ticket checked, and enter.

The three boys are full of anticipation for the upcoming game.

Higashino Ning also saw the longing look on Haibara Ai's face.

To be honest, this was his first time watching a game live.

Professor Agasa's methods are still unconventional; he casually throws out tickets to the best viewing spots.

The roar of the audience echoed throughout the National Stadium, fully igniting everyone's enthusiasm.

Soon, the game begins.

Everyone's attention was focused on the field.

Higashino Ning, however, looked at Haibara Ai.

Unlike the others who rushed to the railing to watch the game, the little girl sat in her seat and watched cautiously.

Higashino Ning naturally knew why the other party was acting this way, but unfortunately, he couldn't point it out directly.

After a brief moment of thought, he returned to his seat and asked, "Why aren't you watching with us?"

Being given special attention and care will naturally create ripples on the sea of ​​your heart.

But Ai Haibara gave her a cold, sidelong glance and said, "Why are you standing so close to me?"

At this moment, Higashino Ning's face was only a dozen centimeters away from hers, and she could even feel the airflow generated by his breathing.

As we all know, the ears are a very sensitive part of the body.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal for Ai Haibara to blush even while maintaining a cold expression.

Higashino Ning looked away. "It's too noisy. I'm afraid you can't hear me."

Hmph, I suppose that's a legitimate reason~

Haibara sighed, "Don't worry about me, you can see clearly from here too."

Sudden.

Without saying a word, Higashino Ning pulled her into his arms.

"Hey...wait...what are you doing???" Ai Haibara's voice trembled with surprise.

Who would act so recklessly!

I hate Higashino Ning who has no sense of boundaries!

What Higashino Ning said next completely stunned her.

"You probably don't want to be discovered by the TV station, right?"

The little girl was completely dumbfounded. "Huh? You..."

Higashino Ning helped Ai Haibara adjust her posture, and at the same time reached out to ruffle her hair, saying, "Because you've been acting strangely, I did some research on you privately."

Because of her nervousness, Ai Haibara momentarily ignored the actions of Ning Higashino's hands, focusing on listening while also considering how to explain and deceive him.

"Your real name should be Grace, right? You used to be a super popular teen idol active in the United States. After retiring, you returned to Japan and wanted to live a normal, ordinary life, so you are especially worried about being recognized by others again."

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara blinked, momentarily speechless.

Who is Grace?

What channels did you use to investigate that you were able to find someone exactly like me?

Since Higashino Ning said that Grace is a super popular teenage idol, there must be photos of her.

Since Higashino Ning could mistake her for Grace, it means that this teenage idol looks very much like her.

Ah this...

Ai Haibara thought for a moment, then nodded quickly, adding with a helpless tone, "Ah... you still found out. Remember to keep it a secret for me."

Then Higashino Ning leaned close to her ear and began to whisper devilishly, "I made this up."

Boom~!

Ai Haibara's heart skipped a beat.

Then Higashino Ning quickly added, "Looks like it really is you. I just don't understand how a super popular teenage idol ended up like this."

"Your agent embezzled all the money you earned?"

Dong~dong~dong~

Ai Haibara's heartbeat returned to normal.

She was still shaken, but her tone remained firm, "Mind your own business. I'm just a pitiful little thing right now... Wait, what are you doing?"

Higashino Ning quickly tied Ai Haibara's hair up with a hair tie, looking completely at ease. "I'm tying your hair up for you."

As he spoke, he placed his hat on Ai Haibara's head and nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm... she shouldn't recognize me now."

Although Ai Haibara has short hair, it's long enough to tie into a small bun.

Without her hair covering her face, her adorable face looked even cuter under the brim of her hat.

Ai Haibara was speechless at this move, and her feelings were quite complicated.

He hugged her, braided her hair, and whispered in her ear...

Dude, I think things might be getting a little ambiguous between us.

Ai Haibara suddenly realized something, and her eyes turned cold. "Where did you get this little hair tie?"

Higashino Ning casually raised his chin and pointed to Ayumi by the railing in front of him. "Look, hers. Ayumi was jumping around and her hair was almost coming undone. I was quick and grabbed the hair tie in a flash, and she didn't even notice. Aren't I amazing?"
