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

In this way, the Shiratori Foundation not only got what it wanted, but also got rid of the current big problem, Shigehiko Tomonochi, and eliminated the threat of him turning against them from prison.

Once the other forces understand what's going on, they'll only look at the Shiratori Group with more respect, and there might even be some smart people who see the situation clearly and come to pay homage.

If the plan succeeds, the Shiratori Group will be rolling in money.

As Higashino Ning pondered, Shiratori Renzaburo snapped his fingers.

"Yes."

He looked confident, but his tone was also quite wistful: "Now it seems that those who thought you were just lucky to solve so many major cases were incredibly stupid."

"If you want Shigehiko to help you get a promotion, then you have to help him make criminal threats now."

"The specific wording is, 'An unknown person wants to get rid of Shigehiko Tomoguchi. We request the First Investigation Division to intervene and protect him.' As for the rest... I'll handle it."

Chapter 93 You Have designs on me

After listening to what Shiratori Ninzaburo said, Higashino Ning exclaimed, "Hey kid, do you know something?"

In fact, from a logical standpoint, politicians and military leaders in various countries should have been aware of the organization's existence.

The Japanese government, in particular, is closely watching the rise and fall of such a family business, given that the organization's predecessor was the Karasuma Group, once the most powerful conglomerate in Japan. This rise and fall of a family business will not only attract much attention but will also be driven by high-level forces.

However, considering that this is an anime, and the organization will inevitably be overthrown by a nobody like Shinichi Kudo in the future, it's hard to say whether the higher-ups really knew.

However, these issues are not really related to Higashino Ning at the moment.

It's not impossible to help Shigehiko Tobukuro ask for help, but there will always be a price to pay, unless Sister Tongzi intervenes.

But Sister Tongzi clearly had no intention of providing any assistance.

Higashino Ning went through everything again, then asked, "When do we begin?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo propped himself up on the armrest of his chair. "Tomorrow morning at the latest."

“Then let’s do it tomorrow morning,” Higashino Ning stood up, “It will also give you some time to prepare, so that nothing goes wrong.”

He said and left.

Shiratori Ninzaburo stared at his back for a while, then chuckled and shook his head, "I didn't expect you to put pressure on me like this."

"I hope you really have the ability to back up your arrogance, otherwise the outcome won't be good."

...

Back at the Metropolitan Police Department, Higashino Ning continued to laze around in his office.

There were cases today, but Inspector Megure didn't assign him any.

Takagi Wataru went to deal with the aftermath of the outrageous case from the morning. As for the rest of the people, Higashino Ning wasn't very familiar with them, so there really wasn't a better option than to slack off and do nothing.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Higashino Ning, who was planning to slip away early, bumped into Morishima Nobuhiro, who was returning from the last shift.

He initiated the conversation, and Nobuhiro Morishima also spoke freely.

"It's highly likely that Representative Tunkou will go to jail this time."

With only about ten minutes left before the end of the workday, Nobuhiro Morishima pulled Ning Higashino aside to whisper to each other, leaving the rest of the work to his subordinates.

He seemed quite agitated. "It's been a while since I've handled such a high-level bribery case. I think it's highly likely that someone higher up is determined to take down this high-ranking member of parliament."

Higashino Ning frowned.

How come you sound like you've already got solid evidence after only half a day of investigation?

Perhaps Shiratori Ninzaburo's sources are problematic.

Higashino Ning continued to probe for information under the guise of gossip, feigning curiosity and surprise, "So, you've already found concrete evidence?"

Nobuhiro Morishima shook his head, then lowered his voice, "The whistleblower is anonymous, and all the whistleblower materials need to be investigated and verified one by one. In addition, Representative Tonguchi refuses to admit it, so it will probably take several more days to get a result."

It would be a miracle if he admitted it.

Higashino Ning chatted with Morishima Nobuhiro for a while until they got off work.

It's a bit of a shame that the police can't take enforcement action against Shigehiko Tonoguchi right now, as they can't communicate with him beforehand.

His identity was sensitive, so he couldn't go directly to the other party's home, nor did he have any way to contact them.

It could be done through Shiratori Ninzaburo, but Higashino Ning wanted to personally talk to Tonguchi Shigehiko in order to bypass Shiratori Ninzaburo and seek greater benefits.

Wait a little longer, there will always be an opportunity.

Incidentally, a conversation can also reveal whether the organization truly operates as a clandestine force within the political sphere.

I left work and drove home.

After ringing the doorbell, Ai Haibara told him to open the door himself.

Hmm...that's a bit strange.

Higashino Ning carefully opened the door, where a little girl stood with her arms outstretched and her face full of expectation.

Their eyes met, and the air was still.

Higashino Ning chose to take a step back, close the door, and then reopen it.

Ai Haibara still had her arms outstretched, waiting for a hug, but the expectation on her face turned into confusion. "What are you doing?"

Higashino Ning rubbed his temples with his thumb and asked, "What are you doing?"

The little girl hopped forward a small step and said in a cute tone, "Isn't it obvious? I want to give my silly brother a hug to wash away his work fatigue."

Higashino Ning: "......"

There's something fishy going on here.

He simply walked around it, saying, "You have ulterior motives towards me."

Ai Haibara was surprised, thinking to herself, "You saw through me so easily?"

Higashino Ning nodded arrogantly, "You really think I'm an idiot?"

So the little girl lowered her arm.

"My thoughts were read, and I was even rejected..." Ai Haibara looked at the back of Higashino Ning's head, a hint of regret in her voice. "So this guy really only treats me like a daughter?"

at the same time.

Higashino Ning was looking around, trying to find something that Haibara Ai might be hiding in some corner, possibly a camera.

It appears that the little girl is actively throwing herself at you, but in reality, she's collecting materials to report you.

Since Ai Haibara trusted him so easily and revealed her identity, she would definitely find some leverage to use against him as a countermeasure, out of a sense of security.

Although Higashino Ning will not reveal Ai Haibara's true identity, from Ai Haibara's perspective, this behavior is quite normal.

He would have done the same thing if he were in his shoes.

With my extreme caution, Higashino Ning would never leave any evidence against me!

I searched everywhere, but found nothing.

Just then, Ai Haibara walked over, frowning, and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Higashino Ning said with certainty, "Things like video cameras and cameras."

Ai Haibara: "......."

She understood Higashino Ning's line of thinking.

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

What kind of ridiculous misunderstanding is this?

So this is what you meant by "plotting something sinister"?!

Stupid!

wood!

The little girl took a deep breath to suppress her anger, "It was just a simple hug, you're overthinking it."

Higashino Ning suddenly realized, "Oh~~~"

He immediately squatted down and said, "Come on, give me a loving hug."

Ai Haibara's eyelids twitched violently, "A normal hug, not a loving hug!"

Higashino Ning spread his arms and circled around Ai Haibara as if playing a game of tag, saying, "A regular hug is fine too, come on."

Ai Haibara no longer has that thought.

Who wants to hug someone as wooden as you!

She gave a loud "humph" and ran to the kitchen, saying, "Come eat in 10 minutes!"

Even when she's angry, she still calls me to eat.

What a wonderful person.

Higashino Ning felt like he had really struck gold.

Now, here's the problem.

Does someone who's angry need to be coaxed?

He had no experience, no idea how to do it, and no clue how to handle it.

So, what was the reason behind Ai Haibara's sudden outburst today?

"She emphasized her status as my younger sister from the beginning. Could she be implying that I shouldn't try to cross the line just because she's 18?"

Higashino Ning thought it was very likely, after all, Ai Haibara had personally warned her yesterday not to use words like "my wife" to describe her.

"It seems we'll have to proceed cautiously..."

Higashino Ning sat down on the sofa and sighed, "We still need to cultivate this goodwill and seek opportunities for a qualitative change. It's a long and arduous task."
