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

Without a doubt, the documents regarding the adoption of Ai Haibara have been delivered.

Calculating the time, it's less than 24 hours.

Now all we have to do is wait for Ai Haibara to agree and move in.

After thinking for a moment, Higashino Ning took the initiative to call Inspector Megure to ask if there was anything he could handle later.

After receiving a vague negative answer, he decided to go home first, and if he was still free in the afternoon, he would go directly to Teitan Elementary School to pick up Ai Haibara.

"It's really troublesome not having a car."

Higashino Ning scratched his head and walked towards the tram station.

It was a mistake not to bring a police car today.

When he was still a few hundred meters away from the tram station, he suddenly saw Kogoro Mouri and his group in the middle of the street.

Ran Mouri's sharp features are too obvious, not to mention that there's a dark-skinned detective from Osaka standing next to her.

The group of people looked a bit lost, as if they hadn't decided where to go yet.

This is the flavor of the case, the top-of-the-line version.

Higashino Ning could somewhat understand Inspector Megure.

At this rate, the police are really going to be overwhelmed!

Wait a minute... since Conan is here, does that mean we have a day off today?

Forget it, police officers only look at the date, not the day of the week.

Go talk to Kogoro Mouri and his group first, and get their phone numbers. If a case occurs, call him directly to report it; you can also collect another batch of reward points that way.

Higashino Ning began to approach, and Hattori Heiji's voice also reached his ears.

"Anyway, you guys don't have anything to do. I happen to be here on business, and I'd like to take this opportunity to see Tokyo properly."

Ran Mouri asked Heiji Hattori what business he had come here for.

Then Higashino Ning officially entered the room.

"Mr. Mori, and Ran, what are you doing here?"

His voice was gentle and attractive, and everyone's attention immediately turned to him.

Kogoro Mouri paused for a moment, "You...you're not that...that...that...hiss...let me think...what's your name again...?"

Ran Mouri, standing to the side, was speechless. "This is Inspector Higashino! Dad, that's very rude of you!"

The bumbling detective was about to make excuses when he opened his mouth, "I can't think of any problem right now."

Seeing that the father and daughter were about to start arguing in the street, Higashino Ning quickly spoke up, "It's alright, I really don't have many opportunities to meet and get to know Mr. Mori."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and said with a smile, "Mr. Mori, why don't we leave your phone number? I feel like there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Given the situation, Kogoro Mouri had no room to refuse, so the two exchanged numbers.

Heiji Hattori crouched down behind Conan and whispered, "Who's this guy?"

Conan said casually, "He's a policeman named Higashino. He's recently solved several major cases and has made quite a splash in the news."

He was somewhat surprised. "What? Didn't the Osaka newspapers report this?"

Hattori Heiji shook his head. "I've never heard of it."

Then, he changed the subject, nudged Conan's shoulder blade with his elbow, and teased, "I bet you solved most of the cases again, didn't you?"

"Oh dear, some people's former glory is now being forced to be handed over to others. This must be a bitter pill to swallow."

To everyone's surprise, Conan sighed and shook his head with a smile, "Those cases are indeed related to me, but not much. The real protagonist is this Inspector Higashino."

Hattori Heiji was stunned by these words.

Before he could ask any more questions, Conan rushed over to Higashino Ning, very enthusiastically, "Officer Higashino! Has the culprit from yesterday confessed everything?"

Higashino Ning glanced at Conan and said, "Yeah, he confessed everything not long after he came back."

He crouched down and patted Conan's big head. "We have to thank you for the clues you found in the secret passage. How are you feeling? Is your head injury getting better?"

"It's much better now!" Conan continued to respond, still playing the role of a child.

“I see…” Higashino Ning stood up and turned his gaze to the “new face” with a smile. “My name is Higashino Ning.”

The Osaka duo quickly introduced themselves as well.

After the pleasantries were over, Higashino Ning waved his hand, "Then I won't bother you any longer. Have fun."

Chapter 47: The formalities are completed; head to the doctor's house.

Higashino Ning's arrival was sudden, and his departure was also unexpected.

At least in terms of making "new friends" normally, simply exchanging names and then leaving seems rather informal.

But that's understandable, considering Higashino Ning is quite busy.

After watching Higashino Ning walk away, Hattori Heiji took off his hat and put it back on. "Then let's continue on our way. We can go to the wedding in place of my mother later."

"Kazuha was saying she wanted to go to Shibuya to buy clothes before she came. Ran, do you have any shops you would recommend?"

...

While the Death Slayers were touring Tokyo, Higashino Ningya returned home.

Because the package wasn't large, the deliveryman put it directly into the mailbox after obtaining his consent.

After settling down on the sofa, Higashino Ning eagerly opened the package, revealing a brown paper bag.

Take out the contents; on top is a "Certificate of Adoption Conditions and Qualifications," and below are some forms of identity information and similar items.

All documents have been stamped and are legally binding.

"Ai Haibara, 7 years old, Japanese nationality, relationship with the head of household...sibling."

After glancing at the materials, Higashino Ning carefully put them away.

Ai Haibara is indeed his child now.

"When will you be moving in?"

"Should I move to a different place first...?"

Higashino Ning suddenly had the idea of ​​buying a house.

Suddenly I had a very strong desire.

"Let's wait a bit longer, the rent is almost due anyway."

"Besides, even if I wanted to buy it now, I couldn't afford it."

Higashino Ning composed himself and then closed his eyes for a short rest.

The lunch break ended quickly.

During this time, whether you're playing on your phone or taking a nap, the time passes very quickly. The only time that seems particularly long is when you're a child.

Higashino Ning did not hesitate for long between the two options: "Metropolitan Police Department" and "Professor Agasa's house".

Since I don't have any missions, I can just go find Ai Haibara and that's it!

It would be perfectly fine for him to go to work once Inspector Megure gave him clear instructions.

Bring a brown paper bag and splurge on a taxi.

Neither the scenery nor her mood left a deep impression on Higashino Ning.

Stepping onto the ground, a refreshing breeze gently blew, helping him to completely calm his mind.

Ring the doorbell.

"Who?"

"Professor Agasa, it's me, Higashino Ning."

"Oh, it's Officer Higashino. I'll be right there to open the door. Just a moment."

However, the person who came was not Professor Agasa, but Ai Haibara.

The moment she pushed open the door, the little girl's vision suddenly became blurry.

Even though Higashino Ning was wearing ordinary casual clothes and was holding a brown paper bag instead of roses, she still seemed to see a hesitation called "expectation" in him.

"Idiot, your thoughts have been too unpredictable lately! If you keep falling for people so easily, you'll be fooled sooner or later!"

Ai Haibara quickly gave herself a few mental instructions and asked seriously, "Is today a holiday? Why did you suddenly come here?"

Upon seeing the person in question, Higashino Ning's initial nervousness completely disappeared.

He leaned against the wall like a delinquent young man, his tone flippant, "Didn't you say yesterday that I should find an opportunity to talk to you in detail?"

"I happened to have some time now, so I came."

Ai Haibara blinked, thinking to herself, "You really didn't do any extra homework."

If Higashino Ning had already thoroughly understood the relevant regulations, he would have given up by now.

"So it was just a casual remark on a whim?"

As Ai Haibara suddenly thought of this, her previously turbulent emotions completely calmed down.

Indeed, it was just a chance encounter and we only knew each other for a few days.

She had too high expectations of herself.

But that's okay. Higashino Ning is still her type, and if conditions allow, pursuing her is not out of the question.

Ai Haibara already had ideas on the very night she arrived at Higashino Ning's house.

She should embrace everything proactively, including her own happiness.

"Alright, please come in." Ai Haibara composed herself and stepped aside, inviting Ning Higashino into the room.

Without dawdling, Higashino Ning changed his shoes and barged in as if he were in his own home.
