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

If they don't take the bait, I'll lead my men into the secret passage at dawn.

Everything else may be fake, but I really know the entrance to the secret passage!

Chapter 44 Case solved, Dr. Genta's ultimate double suppression!

Upon entering the room, Ai Haibara immediately closed the door and then gestured for the three children to be quiet.

Because she had already taken control of the team through language outside, and the current environment would make the children very nervous.

So the three little ones were very well-behaved and did everything as instructed, keeping their mouths shut.

Ai Haibara lowered her voice.

"Listen up, there might have been someone eavesdropping outside. That person is the one who kidnapped and even killed Edogawa-kun!"

Upon hearing this, Ayumi's eyes widened instantly, and she covered her mouth with her hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

Ai Haibara didn't pause, but continued, "So, you all have to listen to me now. When the other party can't hold back and tries to come in, we'll subdue him together."

"Nothing is absolute. Edogawa is most likely just tied up. To save him, we must first arrest the criminal. Do you understand?"

The three children immediately nodded, and Professor Agasa also chose to listen to the young people.

The outdoor corridor.

Finally, the old lady boss had silently crept to the door.

"Kids are just kids. They're even thinking of splitting up to increase the efficiency of finding people. Let me hear your plans."

"Once I've arrested you all one by one, I'll ask you all what the secret of the treasure really is."

The old lady's reading glasses began to reflect light even without any light source, indicating that her strength had vaguely reached the threshold of the first level.

She slowly pressed her ear against the door and could hear some rustling footsteps. The chubby boy was saying things like, "So that old woman was the murderer," and "Should I shout in the hallway to attract her attention?"

Hmph, you've got some skills. No wonder you're a scientist.

The old lady narrowed her eyes, and the image of Professor Agasa's kind face flashed through her mind.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually deduced the truth without saying a word, so it seems that the little girl's claim that she had cracked the secret of the treasure was true.

Suddenly, all the noise in the room disappeared.

The old woman tightened her grip on the stick.

After waiting a few more minutes, the room still seemed to be empty.

"What's going on?" The old lady frowned.

Just then, the sound of the window opening suddenly appeared, accompanied by the sound of wind.

Oh no! These little devils are trying to escape through the window. They were using the bed sheet as a rope during the quiet time!

Driven by a hunter's instinct, the old lady opened the door without a second thought and prepared to rush inside.

She had only taken half a step when she tripped over something and instantly lost her balance.

be cheated!

The old lady had already realized what was happening, but it was too late.

"Old woman, take this!"

Yuan Tai, having pulled his legs back, landed heavily on the old woman's back with a resounding thud.

This is Genta!

Possessing forbidden power beyond his age, he unleashed a devastating attack, striking the old woman with such force that she let out a muffled groan.

Before she could even look up, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi immediately rushed over with a sheet and completely covered her head.

Ayumi cried and hit him at the same time, shouting, "Bad guy! Bad guy! Let Conan out!"

Mitsuhiko wasn't idle either. He had watched many crime dramas and knew that after subduing a criminal, the first thing to do was to restrict the movement of the criminal's hands.

So he immediately ran over and grabbed the old lady's hands tightly, and naturally threw the stick as far away as possible.

The old lady had considered resisting.

But... Genta is just too heavy.

As everyone knows, it hurts a lot when a child hits you; her head is spinning right now.

Not only were his hands restricted, but his legs were also pinned down by Professor Agasa, who somehow appeared behind him—Professor Agasa is roughly two and a half times the size of Genta.

"It was you after all, the matriarch of the Mamiya family."

The operation's commander-in-chief, Ai Haibara, slowly walked over from the window, nimbly leaping over several "ropes" crisscrossed and tied to the bed legs.

These ropes were also made temporarily from bed sheets.

If the initial plan doesn't work, Ai Haibara, who is responsible for opening the window to attract the target, will continue to entice the target to chase her, thus creating new opportunities.

But it seems that it's no longer needed.

Ai Haibara snapped the lights on, and the commotion they made attracted the attention of the others.

The case... is solved.

...

The next day.

Higashino Ning arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department.

As soon as I entered the office, I was ushered into Inspector Megure's office.

"Brother Dongye, you've come at the right time. There's a case here that needs your help. It's in Dongdu Valley."

Inspector Megure didn't seem to have slept well last night; he yawned twice in one sentence, and his combo was incredibly smooth.

There are way too many of these cases.

Could it be Conan's side?

Before Higashino could even ask, Inspector Megure sighed and continued, leaning on the table, "It's Conan and his kids again this time."

"I'm just wondering, why do these kids always seem to run into cases when they go camping with Professor Agasa?"

As he spoke, he turned his speechless gaze to Higashino Ning, "I heard that Ai was the one in charge of the arrest this time. So you didn't take what I told you last time seriously at all?"

Higashino Ning touched his nose. "Well... my education hasn't caught up yet. This is all experience that Ai has accumulated in the past."

“Besides,” he argued, “it’s also necessary for an elderly person and four children to have the courage and means to fight back in such a dangerous situation.”

That's the truth.

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!

Megure Juzo could not completely relinquish the victim's right to resist if the police could not arrive immediately.

However, such a bold act of resistance is indeed too risky.

"Alright, alright, you should hurry up and bring the prisoner back. There's been too much going on lately, it was definitely the right choice not to give you any fixed tasks."

Higashino Ning nodded. "What are the results of the investigation into yesterday's bank robbery?"

"Still no clue..." Inspector Megure sighed deeply, slumping onto his desk. "The culprit can't be found, the car can't be found, no bank employees are missing or absent that day, and we've visited everyone's home."

"Ah... if this continues, I'm afraid my term as police inspector is coming to an end. You should take over then."

That's great! If you say that, I won't be sleepy anymore.

Higashino Ning's face lit up with joy, but she quickly calmed down again. "Inspector, everything will be alright."

...

Dongdu Valley Campsite, Mamiya Castle.

Higashino Ning drove his police car through the muddy road for nearly two hours before finally arriving.

He remembered it as soon as he arrived at the place.

So... the Blue Castle exploration event, right?

The old woman crawled and twisted in the dark corner, which did leave a slight psychological shadow on him when he was young.

When they saw Higashino Ning get out of the car, the three little ones were quite happy and ran over excitedly, shouting "Officer Higashino!"

Ai Haibara was somewhat surprised.

With so many police officers in Tokyo, why is it always him coming back?

However, she was just curious and casually walked up to Higashino Ning to greet him.

Hmm... she has a pretty sweet smile.

Chapter 45 Using the Adoption Card!

Conan followed next to Professor Agasa.

"Inspector Higashino, it's you here this time." Professor Agasa seemed to be in good spirits. "How have you been lately?"

Because of Ai Haibara, he and Ning Higashino became more familiar with each other.

Conan asked curiously, "Officer Higashino, I heard from Officer Takagi this morning that there was another major bank robbery yesterday. Has the investigation yielded any results yet?"

Takagi really tells you everything.

Higashino Ning raised an eyebrow. "There are no results yet. Alright, hurry up and take me to see the criminal. I've been quite busy lately."

Seeing that he didn't want to reveal too many details, Conan stopped asking.

Take it slow, not everyone is as honest and simple as Wataru Takagi.

Moreover, his head still hurts, but the old woman's blow really brought him back to his peak condition.

Last night, he dealt with the unexpected incident as if he were dealing with Gin, exploring secret passages, solving treasure puzzles, and finding the treasure, his brain working at full efficiency the entire time.

Unfortunately, by the time he finished everything and came out, the criminal had already been dealt with by Ai Haibara and the others.
