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

With nothing to do in the afternoon, I continued studying the Sherlock Holmes stories.

The problem might be with how I read the book; I only followed the plot without trying to deduce things myself, which slowed down the improvement in my reasoning skills.

After reading books all day, my growth rate only increased by 6%, reaching 49%.

Based on speculation, both Conan and Heiji Hattori's reasoning skills should be at least level 4 (90%), with Conan simply having a slightly higher level of proficiency.

Kudo Yusaku must be the legendary level 5 or even max level master.

"Actually, it's more worthwhile to use reward points to directly push the skill level to level 3. Relying on reward points later on would be a bit of a disadvantage at the current stage."

Higashino Ning started rambling on again just before he was about to leave work.

A level 1 skill with 0% progress can be upgraded to level 3 by spending only 30 skill points.

Exchanging 30 skill points for a mastered skill is a great deal no matter how you look at it, and even using another 100 bonus points to reach the level of a level 4 master is still very tempting.

He was wondering whether he should use the reward points to level up his reasoning skill directly.

People tend to become more active when they are bored.

Higashino Ning is at it again, eyeing his reward points.

"Hold on! Save up 20 and then use it however you want!"

Higashino Ning slammed his fist on the table and stood up, attracting a lot of attention.

He cleared his throat lightly, "Um...we're having a dinner party tonight, shall we head out now?"

With a single call, everyone responded; even Inspector Megure, who wanted to reprimand the group, was dragged along and left work early.

Large gatherings are still quite troublesome.

As the organizer, I have to arrange the venue and meals. I have to say a few words before eating and before drinking. I can't let the atmosphere become awkward or neglect anyone. I have to offer a drink whenever I feel like it.

Ugh, so annoying!

The meal lasted for almost three hours before it ended.

Higashino asked Takagi Wataru to take Inspector Megure home, while he took a taxi home himself.

When people are drunk, they need to sleep.

Lying sprawled out on the sofa, Wanfeng stopped asking Dongye Ning if he had anything on his mind.

...

The next day.

The morning is a holiday.

Higashino Ning had a good night's sleep.

I drank too much last night, and my head is still numb when I wake up.

Fortunately, he was experienced and his body had a tolerance for discomfort, so he just had to tough it out.

That's how drinking is; you regret it when you feel bad, but you don't care before you feel bad.

The expected visit from the little girl did not occur.

Even after finishing his bento and leaving for work, Higashino Ning did not see Ai Haibara.

Is it proactive?

You can't take the initiative with children; that's illegal.

Aren't you going to take the initiative?

If I don't take the initiative, I feel restless.

In summary, there was serious internal friction.

work!

If there are still no cases today, I'll visit Professor Agasa's house after get off work.

The fact is, the case does exist.

However... in the morning.

Higashino Ning walked into Megure's office, where Conan was being reprimanded.

"How could you just run off and confront or even fight the prisoners? That's very dangerous!"

"Next time you encounter a similar incident, be sure to call the police first, understand?!"

"I really don't know what that Mori guy usually talks to you about..."

As he spoke, the officer in the hat glared at Ai Haibara again, "And Ai too! I'll definitely teach Higashino a lesson when he gets here!"

dong dong dong~

Higashino Ning knocked gently on the door. "Um... Inspector, I'm here."

Megure Jujutsu looked up. "Higashino! Since Ai is your relative's child, you should discipline her properly in this regard!"

"If anything goes wrong, I'll see if you can regret it then!"

"The guy who broke in this time was tall and strong, and he was carrying a weapon. Next time, he might be carrying a gun!"

Higashino Ning had no desire to refute this.

From Megure's perspective, this lesson was not only correct, but also extremely necessary.

He bowed deeply and said earnestly, "I'm sorry, Inspector. I will discipline Ai properly."

Inspector Megure slammed his hand on the table again. "All of these children need to be disciplined!"

At this moment, Ai Haibara suddenly became a drama queen, cupping her face and crying, "I'm...I'm sorry, Uncle Megure, I know I was wrong, please don't scold Higashino-nii anymore, waaaaah~~"

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!

Everyone: "..."

Conan looked utterly shocked, as if he had suffered some immense mental shock.

Ai Haibara's crying left Inspector Megure completely bewildered.

He doesn't have any children, how could he know how to do this!

Megure's tone immediately softened, "Um... Ai, don't cry, I won't scold you anymore."

As he spoke, he kept gesturing to Dongye Ning, urging him to come over and comfort the little girl.

Higashino Ning was equally shocked, but most of them were surprised.

He walked behind Ai Haibara, his voice involuntarily switching to a lisp, "Don't cry, don't cry, Uncle Megure isn't angry anymore, be good~"

Ai Haibara nodded with a hum, then turned and walked out with Ning Higashino.

Uncle Megure quickly spoke up, "Higashino, I think it would be troublesome for you to take these children home again."

Is there such a good thing?

Higashino Ning immediately responded.

As soon as she left the office, Ai Haibara immediately returned to normal, staring at Ning Higashino with a playful look. "So you only talk to me like that when you're crying?"

Higashino Ning was a little confused. "What kind of tone is that? Do you enjoy that tone of voice used to coax a child?"

Ai Haibara immediately turned her head, "No, I was just a little curious before, but now that I've heard it, I'm not curious anymore."

It's still a strange and peculiar point of curiosity.

Higashino Ning continued leading the children outside.

Ai Haibara let Higashino Ning pull her along, thinking to herself, "Stupid policeman, doesn't he know that girls like to be coaxed, especially by someone they like?"

She sighed softly.

If... if you just ask me one more time, I'll agree to be your family's child.

do as promised.

Chapter 36 Come to my house for dinner tonight

Haibara Ai's thoughts were naturally unknown to Higashino Ning.

He was still analyzing the little girl's amused look from earlier.

I always feel that Ai Haibara is in a state of "Schrödinger's treatment".

Treat her like a child, but she won't like it.

If we don't treat her like a child, she won't be happy.

Girls' minds are truly unpredictable.

Arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department building, Higashino Ning was about to take a large group of children back home.

Because today is not a rest day, and the parents are all at work, these students skipped class and ran away.

So there's a slight advantage to it; we can just send them back to school instead of going through a long detour to send them home one by one.

On the bus, Mitsuhiko and Genta kept whispering to each other that Inspector Megure was too strict, even though their battle plans when dealing with criminals were clearly very successful.

These complaints made Higashino Ning feel chills down his spine.

But if you absolutely must wash it, there are ways to do so.

Just shift the blame to Conan.

It is precisely because of Conan's example that the Junior Detective League acts like reckless fools when facing crises.

We're all just kids. If Conan can do it, why can't we?

From the perspective of children's tendency to learn from "role models," Conan definitely has to take the blame.

But it doesn't matter, this group, which brings together a natural hostage physique, a crisis trigger, and a cunning strategist, always manages to turn danger into safety.

Since their own parents don't care, Higashino Ning really doesn't need to worry about it.

On the way back to school, Conan asked Higashino Ning if her promotion exam went well, while Ai Haibara remained silent the entire time.
