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

However, we need to discuss the conditions.

Higashino Ning immediately threw out a lifeline, "Do you know why I got involved on behalf of the First Investigation Division?"

Shigehiko Toguchi nodded. "They probably want to use criminal charges to delay the investigation of political crimes, and then clear me of the suspicion of bribery and the evidence against me."

"Very clever." Higashino Ning gave him an approving look. "So, what do you say now?"

"Oh, by the way, here's a bonus: whether it's the Shiratori Group or Inspector Nobuhiro Morishima who came to investigate today, they're all on our side."

"Since you've made a mess of things, don't complain that your life is in someone else's hands."

Shigehiko Tobuchi paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically, "Okay... I'll take care of it."

Just as he finished speaking, a sudden realization flashed before his eyes, and he stared at Higashino Ning with an ugly expression, "Promoting you was just a pretext; you want to put the Shiratori family in power!"

"The Shiratori family is deeply rooted in the police force, and there is only one Shiratori kid who can be promoted beyond the normal level by following your example."

"And in order to get this new bill implemented, I will absolutely be the sacrifice."

"You...you..."

Shigehiko Tobuchi's agitated emotions suddenly calmed down. "You're willing to trade my life for your family's...?"

Looking at the cold smile on Dongye Ning's face, he already knew the answer in his heart.

ridiculous.

His bribery problem wasn't actually that serious, but it just happened to come to light when the organization was about to take a major step.

Thus, he became a political tool that everyone tacitly agreed upon, and an old horse pulling the carriage of institutional reform forward.

Now it seems that the organization that reported his economic problems might have been the one that reported him.

This is an unsolvable situation; he can only protect the family's future by cooperating properly.

Otherwise... they'll all die.

Masahiko Tobuchi slowly straightened up, carefully adjusting his suit. "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Higashino Ning nodded in satisfaction, "However, we are not as bad as you think. You are not without a chance of survival."

After saying that, he left.

The desired outcome of the meeting was achieved, and even exceeded expectations.

Higashino Ning is very confident about this information gap exploitation because everything he says will come true.

As for whether Shigehiko Tobuchi will have any opportunity to contact the organization during this period... well, that's another story.

The operation against Shigehiko Tonoguchi was led by Gin, and the assassination plot they devised wasn't even set in this villa, but rather in a hotel in Beika.

This clearly shows that even in the original storyline, the organization did not find an opportunity to make direct contact with Shigehiko Tobuchi during this period.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been killed by the chandelier falling on him, but by drug A.

Now, not only is Shigehiko Tobuchi restricted by the police from using his communication tools, but Ning Higashino can also personally oversee things by his side, which completely prevents the organization from reaching out its tentacles.

As for how Shiratori Ninzaburo explained his subsequent promotion to police inspector... sorry, I, Higashino Ning, am just a lowly patrol chief who follows orders.

you ask me?

Then I'd like to ask you something else: you said you were a police inspector, how did you suddenly become a police inspector? You know I'm under a lot of pressure too.

In short, it boils down to one word: stability!

If Shigehiko Tobu could promote him directly to police inspector, wow, as long as he doesn't die, Sister Tobu could send him to superintendent!

This is simply not cool.

Higashino Ning was in a very good mood, and he was even humming a song when he returned to the monitoring room.

Takagi Wataru, who was intently watching the surveillance footage, asked curiously, "Why are you so happy after going out for a while?"

Higashino Ning sat down comfortably, "Because I did something that made people happy."

Takagi Wataru's eyes widened, then he asked nervously, "You didn't beat up Representative Tonguchi, did you?"

Higashino Ning: "???"

He said dismissively, "I was just going to pee, why would I hit him? How many lives do I have to hit him?"

Chapter 99 Whoever is in a hurry loses

Takagi Wataru thought about it again and realized it made sense.

But he couldn't help but think in that direction, after all, Higashino Ning was becoming more and more fond of violent law enforcement.

I stayed in the monitoring room until evening when a colleague brought me dinner.

Continue cooking after you finish eating.

They stayed up until midnight before Higashino Ning and Takagi Wataru finally left, exhausted.

The next few days were for shift changes; the 2+6 shifts became 1+3, with two shifts rotating.

Considering that Higashino Ning has a little girl at home, Takagi Wataru took the initiative to choose the shift from 12 noon to 12 am.

Good brothers need no words of thanks for great kindness.

Higashino Ning said that he must help his good brother improve together, and he also wants to help his good brother win over Sato Miwako in advance.

...

He didn't get home until after 1 a.m.

This time, Ai Haibara didn't leave the light on for him, and the empty room looked like a haunted house.

Open the door and enter the house.

Because his eyes have adapted to the environment, he can see clearly without turning on the lights.

Another thing... he was a little worried that turning on the light would wake Ai Haibara from her sleep.

Of course, turning on a light isn't that noisy, but I still have this kind of worry in my heart.

"I guess I'm not going to take a bath after all..."

The bathroom is right downstairs from Ai Haibara's room, so taking a shower might actually wake her up.

Anyway, he basically stayed indoors and lay flat all day, and didn't do any extra activities except take a few steps.

Moreover, he took a shower last night, so he's still very clean.

"Huh? Since when do you have to come up with so many excuses for not showering?"

Higashino Ning exclaimed that he had been completely fooled; a slightly embarrassed blush last night had cost him his freedom for the rest of his life.

I don't care, I'm not washing today!

Higashino Ning strode forward, then carefully prepared to begin climbing the stairs.

"Wait a minute, I used to sleep right on the sofa, didn't I?"

He slapped his forehead and headed towards the living room, where the sofa was bigger and more comfortable, and there were also small blankets.

When people are tired, they fall asleep as soon as they hit the bed, and now it's the same when they hit the sofa.

When he woke up, Higashino Ning stretched and yawned with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes and looked to the side, he found Ai Haibara curled up on the single sofa next to him.

The little girl rested her face on the heels of her clasped hands, which were then placed on her knees.

Big eyes add to cuteness, and cuteness makes one stand out.

Higashino Ning sat up straight and rubbed his eyes. "What time is it?"

"It's almost 11 o'clock." Ai Haibara's voice was gentle. "Why don't you go to bed when you get home?"

Dongye Ning naturally wouldn't admit that he had a relapse of his anti-bone cancer last night, and simply said, "It's close by here, and I was really sleepy, so I just came here to sleep."

This statement reminded Ai Haibara of her initial speculation when she first arrived at the Higashino Ning family's residence.

Previously it was just speculation, but now it's something I've seen with my own eyes.

When faced with a sudden emergency mission, Higashino Ning didn't have time to go home and was so exhausted that he could fall asleep anywhere.

"Being a police officer is really a tough job..."

Hearing Ai Haibara's sentiments, Higashino Ning continued to stretch his uncomfortable neck, "For an ordinary person like me, no job is easy. At least being a police officer pays relatively well."

Ai Haibara continued to gaze at him gently, "I thought you were going to talk about honor, a sense of responsibility, or something like that."

Higashino Ning glanced at him sideways. "It would be too embarrassing to just say it directly. I'm shy."

Ai Haibara: "......"

After stretching his neck, Higashino Ning got up, walked over to Ai Haibara, and tapped her on the head. "Go and cook for me, I'm hungry."

"Hey!" Ai Haibara said, clutching her head in dissatisfaction, "Your attitude is just too awful! I might just run straight back to the professor's house!"

These words immediately created a somewhat silent atmosphere.

The little girl, realizing what was happening, gritted her teeth and shouted, "Don't say it! Don't say it! You're not allowed to say it!"

Higashino Ning bent down and said, "Okay, I won't say anything, but it doesn't seem to make any difference anyway."

It's really not very useful.

Because Ai Haibara had already filled in the blanks in her mind.

It's nothing more than something like, "You looked just like a bullied young wife who wanted to go back to her parents' home."

You stupid cop, you're really going too far!

Ai Haibara felt that she still preferred the shy and cuddly Higashino Ning.

No, it seems like she's the one who blushes and runs away every time she teases someone.

"I haven't won a single victory???"

Ai Haibara said she had a hard time accepting it.

If you count them carefully, she must have won a few times, right?
