Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 433 Mutual Testing? First, eliminate the correct answer!
"A new woman?" Ai Haibara looked at the woman next to Natsumi Kitahara with suspicion. "Or is she a new teacher at the school?"

"But I haven't heard any of the teachers at school mention this."

Since leaving the Black Organization, Ai's personality has undergone a significant change; she has become more proactive and enjoys making friends.

After all, without the intimidation and restraint of the black organization, she can now do whatever she wants without worrying about anything or implicating anyone.

Therefore, she was very popular at school, and with her young and beautiful face, she was extremely popular.

Unfortunately, she showed no favoritism to some people.

But the information network is still quite good; it's just that we didn't receive any news this time.

This is normal, though, since Sachiko Katsuragi was suddenly brought in, and it's understandable that Ai and the other teachers didn't know.

Only a few teachers in the entire school knew about it. Mr. Ohata only found out because he happened to overhear some of it when he passed by, and that's when he told Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Just as Ai Haibara saw Kitahara Natsuyu and Katsuragi Sachiko, Katsuragi Sachiko also inexplicably looked over.

And so, Sachiko Katsuragi and Ai Haibara made their first eye contact.

Although neither of them knew the other's identity, they felt that the other had some connection with Kitahara Natsuyu, so their intense gazes exploded in the air before dissipating into nothingness.

Don't ask, just use a woman's intuition!
Kitahara Natsuhiro also witnessed this scene, a playful smile appearing on his face.

In the past, it was always men who fought over women, but now the tables have turned and women are fighting over men.

Great!
It's good to prohibit it!
“Teacher Kitahara.” Sachiko Katsuragi turned her gaze to Natsuhiro Kitahara: “And this teacher is…?”

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu introduced her, saying, "She is our school's health teacher, and the infirmary is her office. Her name is Haibara Ai."

"Ai Haibara is a very nice name."

She recognized the name; she had seen it in information about Kitahara Natsuhiro. It referred to one of Kitahara Natsuhiro's women, a very young woman of only eighteen, a high-achieving student who had returned from studying in the United States, and a teacher at Teitan Elementary School.

The reason this talented woman became a teacher at such a school is probably because of Kitahara Natsuhiro.

As for Ai Haibara's photo, there is none in the intelligence; there is only information and a photo of Kitahara Natsuhiro.

But is Kitahara Natsumi really that good? It makes her quite curious that he would let a woman like her stay in such a small place.

What kind of magic does Kitahara Natsuhiro possess that allows so many women to surround him, even knowing that he has other women?

It's truly unbelievable!

That's why Katsuragi Sachiko is also a little curious about Kitahara Natsuhiro!
Oh, you're doomed!
You know, falling in love with someone starts with a little bit of curiosity and interest in that person.

Sachiko Katsuragi has already become curious, so it probably won't be long before she falls for her.

Moreover, she came here to lure Kitahara Natsuyu, and it was only a matter of time before she fell for him.

“I think so too,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said with a smile.

Ai Haibara is the name that Professor Agasa gave to Shiho Miyano when she shrunk in the original work, and she has been called that since before she traveled through time.

So he simply used that name.

All I can say is that Dr. Agasa is still putting in the effort!

The fake protagonist: Conan Edogawa!
The real protagonist: Professor Agasa!

"Would it be convenient for you to introduce me to this Ai Haibara teacher?" Sachiko Katsuragi smiled slightly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Having agreed to this, there was no turning back, and she couldn't afford to waver.

Therefore, she needed to get in touch with Ai Haibara and learn more about this woman.

In addition, she also needed to understand the other women around Kitahara Natsuyu, since she didn't think she had the ability to become the only woman by his side, so she could only coexist peacefully with the other women.

As for the fact that she wouldn't become Kitahara Natsuyu's woman, she hadn't even considered it.

Because intelligence indicated that Kitahara Natsuhiro was lecherous, extremely lecherous.

She was quite confident in her looks, so it wasn't a big problem, unless Kitahara Natsuhiro's information was seriously inaccurate.

“Okay.” Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and prepared to take Katsuragi Sachiko to see Haibara Ai without any hesitation.

He was not at all willing to accept what might happen, after all, he had no relationship with Katsuragi Sachiko, and Haibara Ai was not that kind of person.

Of course, who knows what will happen in the future!

But we'll deal with the future later. I'm sure I'll figure something out!

“They’re coming!” Ai Haibara sat in a chair, arms crossed, watching the two people walking towards her.

At this moment, Ai Haibara was sitting on a stool, facing a window that overlooked the playground, so Kitahara Natsuhiro and Katsuragi Sachiko could talk to Ai face to face without having to go inside.

“Ai.” Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled.

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara nodded, then turned her gaze to the woman next to Kitahara Natsuyu: "Is this the new teacher?"

Katsuragi Sachiko stepped forward, placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and bowed slightly, saying, "Hello, I am the new art and craft teacher in charge of the first grade. My name is Katsuragi Sachiko."

"Sachiko Katsuragi?" Ai Haibara frowned upon hearing this name.

She felt like she had heard the name somewhere before, and it must have been recently, otherwise she wouldn't have remembered it. But she couldn't recall it right away, so it probably wasn't an important name, or maybe it was just someone with the same name.

Seeing Ai Haibara's expression, Sachiko Katsuragi felt a pang of anxiety and couldn't help but ask, "Haibara-sensei, do you know me?"

She saw this in Ai Haibara's expression, but it wasn't mentioned in the information about Kitahara Natsuhiro.

I guess Rum didn't think this matter was important!

This might even be a plus.

Women are emotional, and if they knew what Sachiko Katsuragi had gone through, they would likely feel sympathy for her, which could make the plan go more smoothly.

Perhaps that's why Rum didn't mention this in the intelligence report!

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara nodded and said, "I have indeed heard your name before. You are also a girl. I heard it from Ran Mouri of Teitan High School."

"Ran Mouri?" Sachiko Katsuragi looked surprised when she heard the name. "You mean Detective Mouri's daughter, right?!" "And she has a little brother who lives with her, named Conan Edogawa, right!"

She remembered the name Ran Mouri and knew that she attended Teitan High School because Conan had gone with her last time. However, Ran Mouri and Kazuha did not go with her; instead, they stayed in the shop with Kitahara Natsuhiro.

However, Sachiko Katsuragi still knew about this because Conan and Kogoro Mouri told her. That's how she knew about Ran Mouri and that Ran Mouri was outstanding and had a very unique hairstyle!
At the same time, the events of the diplomat murder case in the original work were not repeated, all thanks to Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Because Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't let Conan drink the baijiu.

It can be said that Kitahara Natsuhiro was the biggest stumbling block on Edogawa's path to progress.

If Kitahara Natsuhiro weren't around, there would be a 100% chance that he could turn back into Shinichi Kudo, because he's the protagonist and has some kind of cheat code!
But now we have Kitahara Natsuhiro, who also has a cheat code, and this cheat code is even more powerful than Conan's.

This might mean that Kitahara Natsuhiro's cheat is male, while Conan's cheat is female!
Conan Edogawa: Kitahara Natsuhiro, you deserve to die!
“That’s right, that’s how it is.” Ai Haibara paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something and blurted out, “I remember now, you’re the girlfriend of the victim’s son in the diplomat murder case, and you’re also…”

"Cough cough."

Just as Ai Haibara was about to continue speaking, Kitahara Natsuhiro suddenly coughed twice, and Ai Haibara stopped speaking at that moment.

After all, revealing what happened next would be like reopening Sachiko Katsuragi's wounds, something Ai wouldn't do.

I said that without thinking at all.

Otherwise, given Ai's emotional intelligence, she would never have said those hurtful things.

Fortunately, Kitahara Natsuhiro was there and promptly reminded her of the problem.
Although Sachiko Katsuragi only heard half of it, she already knew what the rest was about, and a trace of sadness couldn't be hidden on her face.

There was no way around it, because in this incident, she learned the truth about her father's death, the truth about her mother leaving her, and even witnessed her mother killing her boyfriend's father.

Furthermore, her boyfriend left her afterwards, leaving her with a large amount of debt.

If we were to name the person most seriously injured in this incident, it would undoubtedly be Sachiko Katsuragi.

She had become an outsider, but for some reason she was brought back, leading to the situation she is in now.

How unpredictable life truly is!

"I'm sorry." Ai Haibara quickly apologized to Sachiko Katsuragi, her attitude quite sincere.

Because she learned the truth about what happened from Xiaolan and realized that she was also a victim, her own life became a mess.

In this incident, Sachiko Katsuragi was probably the one who was most seriously injured.

As for the cause of the incident, it naturally belongs to Tsujimura Takayoshi's father. He killed someone for a woman, then took that man's wife, causing his own family to be destroyed.

This is probably what it means to die under a peony flower and still be a romantic ghost; it's a death well-deserved!
"No." Katsuragi Sachiko rallied and smiled, but to Kitahara Natsuyu and Haibara Ai, it was just a forced smile: "This matter is over. Although I still feel sad and upset sometimes, I'm about to move on."

"I will no longer feel lost or cry because of this."

"My father in heaven wouldn't want me to become like that, I need to look forward!"

As for why she didn't mention her mother, it's because her mother is still alive and not serving a life sentence; she only needs to serve more than ten years in prison before being released.

As for Takayoshi Tsujimura's grandfather, he will probably spend the last few years of his life in prison.

After all, he's already in his seventies or eighties, and he won't live much longer.

Most importantly, it was her mother who did this, and it was she who caused things to turn out this way.

Therefore, Sachiko Katsuragi's feelings toward her mother are very complex.

"You really are a strong person!" Ai Haibara said. "If I were you, I probably wouldn't be as strong as you."

Looking at Katsuragi Sachiko, she couldn't help but think of her deceased father and mother.

Although they died in a fire shortly after she was born, she had little memory of her parents and could only know what they were like from her sister's descriptions.

But if she were to encounter the same situation as Katsuragi Sachiko, she might not perform any better than Katsuragi Sachiko.

"Haihara-sensei," Katsuragi Sachiko murmured.

She felt that Ai Haibara in front of her also had a story, and that the story was somewhat similar to her own.

Just say it!
The three people in front of us don't all have a pair of parents, so it's normal that their stories are somewhat similar.

"It seems you two have a lot in common," Kitahara Natsumi interjected at the opportune moment. "It's still early, and you don't have any classes this year, Katsuragi-sensei. Why don't you go to the infirmary and chat with Haibara-sensei?"

Although he had a lot in common with them, there were some things that were hard to say when one man and two women were in a room together, especially since one of the women was someone he had just met.

So let Ai Haibara and Sachiko Katsuragi have a chat!

Moreover, doing this would allow Ai Haibara to test Sachiko Katsuragi and see if she had any connection with the Black Organization.

Furthermore, he did not intend to tell Ai Haibara his guesses, but rather let Ai Haibara experience things for herself and deal with Sachiko Katsuragi on her own.

Anyway, Katsuragi Sachiko is just a weak woman and poses no threat, so let them chat!

"This..." Katsuragi Sachiko paused, somewhat hesitant.

She did want to talk to Ai Haibara, to subtly try to find out information about the other women and about her.

As for Kitahara Natsuhiro, this step can be omitted.

“Let’s chat then,” Haibara said with a wry smile. “I’m pretty bored here all by myself, and I was just looking for someone to talk to.”

Actually, she was also a little curious about Katsuragi Sachiko.

If she remembered correctly, she was a top student who graduated from the University of Tokyo's medical school. How did she end up working as a teacher at Teitan Elementary School, and a drawing and craft teacher at that?

You should know that being a doctor is one of the highest-paying professions in Japan.

It's truly baffling!

There might be more to this than meets the eye!
Surely they didn't come here just for Kitahara Natsuhiro!

impossible! Absolutely impossible!
After all, they had no contact with each other!
“Okay.” Katsuragi Sachiko didn’t say anything and simply agreed.
