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

But why does this insistence on a fixed form of address feel so familiar?

"Hey!"

At this moment, Ai Haibara, who had not received a response, ran over and sat down next to him, poking his shoulder hard with her finger, looking a little aggrieved and pitiful.

"Is there something wrong with my hobbies...?"

Dongye Ning quickly shook her head, "No, it's all good. It has both the elegance of a lady and the youthful charm of a young woman."

He stared at Ai Haibara's face for a moment, "You're a scientist who can take on drug development at the age of 18, with exceptional intelligence. Miss, you're too perfect."

The little girl said she loved hearing that, and with a proud "humph," she turned her head away, saying, "Of course, some people even said I'm ordinary yet confident."

"I was being naive." Higashino Ning pulled Ai Haibara closer to him.

Then, the little girl didn't think much of it and naturally moved closer.

The weight and warmth continuously stimulated my left arm and the left side of my body, and my heart also felt heavy.

Although Ai Haibara was slow to realize that things were a bit ambiguous, she still gritted her teeth and didn't run away.

As I said, winning over Higashino Ning is a process of following your heart.

Since she subconsciously wanted to do that just now, let's continue leaning on her now.

Anyway, nothing will happen.

That's what she thought, but she still needed something else to distract herself.

For some reason, Ai Haibara blurted out, "Don't you think I'm an evil scientist who has killed countless people?"

Upon hearing this, Higashino Ning paused for a moment, and his body tilted to the side.

This action caused a chain reaction, and the little girl, unable to control her balance with her arms crossed, fell down as well.

In the blink of an eye, Ai Haibara was lying across Higashino Ning's lap.

Her eyes were wide open in embarrassment and panic, her tender gaze trembling slightly.

Ai Haibara is looking at Ning Kei, and Ning Kei is looking at her too.

The exchange of glances was accompanied by an urge to escape.

But it was Higashino Ning who was the first to look away.

However, Ai Haibara was not disappointed or even dejected.

Because Higashino Ning blushed.

Who was the figure you just saw?

Suddenly, Ai Haibara became bolder, regained her courage, reached out and touched Ning Higashino's chin, and gently turned his face towards her.

Higashino Ning has a lot of fine stubble on his chin, which is not clearly visible, but is very noticeable to the touch.

For some reason, Ai Haibara suddenly felt that she was getting closer to Ning Higashino, and that the other person's image was becoming clearer to her.

Higashino Ning knew that Ai Haibara was still waiting for his answer.

No matter how you look at it, the current atmosphere and timing are perfect...

He bit the inside of his lower lip silently, and after careful consideration, finally spoke.

"...It was a girl named Shiho Miyano."

He can joke around and laugh, but he's an expert at having a great time without any embellishment.

But to be honest, he's not good at it.

He had already explained his analysis earlier.

He is an extremely shy, reserved, and cowardly person when it comes to relationships—otherwise, how could he be such a good friend to Wataru Takagi?

Saying those words now has already drained all of his CPU's computing power.

Ai Haibara, who had previously been unable to see through Higashino Ning's inner thoughts, suddenly understood Higashino Ning's shyness and embarrassment.

She has gotten the answer she wanted.

This guy was definitely tempted just now, absolutely, definitely!

However, there was clearly no follow-up.

Shiho Miyano, whose eyes reflected Higashino Ning's face, wanted to run away.

She felt like her face was burning hot, and her CPU's computing power was almost at its limit.

Ai Haibara hurriedly adjusted her posture and stood up, intending to immediately return to the second floor to hug Miss Panda.

But when she ran out of the living room, she realized that she hadn't given Higashino Ning a reply yet.

The last bit of CPU power prompted her to hurry back, and standing at the door, she said to Dongye Ning:

"Actually, Ms. Miyano also likes you a little bit."

She choked up, her rapid breathing bringing out even more urgent words, "But judging from your reaction and her current condition, it is indeed a bit too early to say these things."

"But please wait for her, and please cherish that feeling of excitement you had just felt for her."

"Please, Mr. Higashino!"

With the CPU's computing power reduced to zero, Ai Haibara fled the scene.

in the living room.

Higashino Ning was also filled with excitement at this moment.

It seems that Ai Haibara's favorability rating isn't as low as he thought.

The other person just clearly stated that she likes him a little and has feelings for him!

It's just that the current circumstances don't allow for a full-blown romantic relationship!

The above can be copied completely, because Ai Haibara, who is hugging Miss Panda tightly upstairs, thinks the same way.

Higashino Ning didn't know where to put her hands, and she felt uncomfortable no matter how many places she tried.

His shoulders were acting strangely, his waist was restless, and his legs were filled with a strange feeling that they would wither if they didn't move.

With no other option, Higashino Ning got up and paced back and forth in the living room, doing various stretching exercises to relieve his discomfort.

"Am I going to start dancing around?" Higashino Ning suddenly thought to herself.

Do you want to dance too?

Ha, that scoundrel Higashino, it's just a little bit of goodwill, no need to make such a big deal out of it.

Take it slow; the victory song should be played at the wedding.

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!

If we're going to dance, it'll be then. I'll drag Wataru Takagi along to dance with me.

Oh, and Conan too.

He remembered that for a while, President Ke also awkwardly danced in the opening theme song.

This guy has the potential to be a dance king.

The gradually expanding thoughts finally calmed Higashino Ning's mind and body.

The night is getting darker.

Take a shower and go to bed. Back to work tomorrow.

...

Morning arrived quietly.

Higashino Ning rubbed his sore eyes as he got out of bed.

After pushing open the door, he met Ai Haibara's eyes as she walked out of the bedroom.

"Good morning."

Good morning!

For both of them, the scene in the living room last night now seemed like a dream.

Higashino Ning scratched the unruly hair on the back of his head and spoke up, "I don't think you're some kind of evil scientist who has killed countless people."

"You are a very wonderful person in my eyes, plus... in short, you must have a lot of unspoken bitterness."

"Although I am a police officer, I never expect others to have boundless love."

"Hmm... um... never mind, I can't think of anything else to say right now, just bear with it."

Ai Haibara sighed gently and smiled, "I understand, thank you, you idiot~"

Higashino Ning pursed her lips, turned around and went downstairs to wash up.

Ai Haibara watched his retreating figure and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest.

It seems that everything that happened last night was not a dream.

Because she had just used a more ambiguous form of address, but Higashino Ning neither corrected her nor rejected her.

"Let's continue to get along well from now on, you idiot cop."

"Sooner or later I will turn your unexpected attraction into love, because my own attraction has already turned into a small flame of romance."

"Hmph, just you wait!"

Chapter 96 Protecting Shigehiko Tobuchi

While Higashino was washing up, Ai Haibara had already prepared breakfast.

I ate a quick meal and headed out to work.

It's cloudy today.

But this doesn't affect Higashino Ning's sunny disposition.

Upon arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department, he went straight to Inspector Megure and spoke to him.
