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

This is why the bumbling detective said he was summoned by the case.

They were about to leave, almost at the Mori family's manor, when the broken glass pulled them back.

Higashino Ning followed the forensic team through the room, while Takagi Wataru went to confirm the time of the incident and screen suspects based on their alibis.

Chapter 50 Conan, I'm planning to steal from your house!

If asked if he had any specific recollection of this case, Higashino Ning could only say...

If so.

“Right…” Higashino Ning suddenly thought of the little girl he had already taken home, “So next time Ai asks me if I’m a pervert, can I just answer ‘gradually’?”

He had a feeling that this "gradual change" would be very much in line with his future mindset.

Higashino Ning - Gradient Colors (Brand New)

No, no, what am I thinking?

Higashino Ning quickly pulled himself back to the crime scene.

At that moment, Takagi Wataru, who acted swiftly, led a large group of people over. "Inspector Megure! These are the five who don't have a clear alibi."

Inspector Megure nodded. "I understand."

He looked at the five people and said, "I think I will need to ask you five questions individually later, and I will also need to check your belongings. Please go back to your rooms and wait now."

These words left Higashino Ning completely dumbfounded.

Leaving aside the rare luxury of choosing one out of five in the world of Detective Conan.

Isn't Megure Juzo clearly giving the criminal a heads-up, while also providing him with time and space to deal with any potential incriminating evidence on his person?

We dare not ask, we dare not say.

Anyway, Conan and Heiji Hattori are both here, so catching the culprit is just a matter of time.

"I wonder if Ai Haibara is used to being alone at home."

Higashino Ning's thoughts drifted back to her rented apartment, where she conceived a picture of a little girl gazing at the moon.

"How about... we move our new house near Professor Agasa's house?"

When she's not home, Ai Haibara can go to Dr. Agasa's house to play. She can secretly do her research, and Dr. Agasa's house also has a laboratory.

That's just how it is; there's almost no way to avoid contact with Conan.

But in fact, this was unavoidable; even Higashino Ning himself couldn't avoid Ke.

Hmm... then let's move near Professor Agasa's house!

Higashino Ning made his decision and quietly hid behind the crowd to browse properties in the system's online store.

To be honest, there wasn't a suitable one.

The nearest property is 1 kilometer away from Professor Agasa's house, so it can hardly be considered a neighbor.

Can't you be more understanding of a little girl with short legs?

[Should I spend 2 reward points to refresh the hidden property?]

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in my mind.

Okay, okay, so you still say it wasn't tailor-made for me?!

Higashino Ning waved his hand, "Whoosh!"

[Updated, special residence discovered: Kudo Residence]

Damn it? !

Higashino Ning immediately checked.

【Kudo Residence: 0】

[Note: This residence is not yet available for trading, but it can still be occupied through other means. Please explore these options yourself. Alternatively, you can purchase it outright for 200 reward points.]

Higashino Ning's gaze slowly shifted to Conan.

Good brother, it was wrong of me to try to distance myself from you just now, please don't take it to heart!

"Officer Higashino, have you found anything?"

At that moment, Hattori Heiji appeared behind him and spoke, his tone somewhat probing.

Because Higashino Ning was staring at Conan.

I might just be annoyed that you're staring at Kazuha.

If you keep staring at Conan, I'll have to be wary and suspicious of you.

As if just recovering from a daze, Higashino Ning glanced at the dark-skinned detective and said calmly, "Nothing special was found."

Then, he pretended to suddenly remember something, "By the way, aren't you the famous high school detective from Osaka?"

"I didn't see you just now. Did you notice anything?"

In Tokyo, most people only know Shinichi Kudo, but they don't know that there is also Heiji Hattori who can sweep across the world!

As a result, Hattori Heiji's liking for Higashino Ning instantly increased by several percentage points.

Of course, the main reason was that he felt Higashino Ning wasn't secretly observing Conan, but was simply spacing out.

Blackie pondered for a moment, "I did make some small discoveries in the inner room just now, and there are still quite a few suspicious points."

He suddenly stopped talking at this point.

If it's about discussing a case, he'd rather talk to Conan.

The police are all clueless. Talking more during the investigation phase is a waste of breath. We'll just tell you the answer after we solve the case.

Hattori Heiji sighed and chuckled, "Alright, I'll continue my investigation."

Higashino Ning nodded indifferently, "Mm."

"Brother Dongye."

Just as Inspector Megure finished giving instructions to Wataru Takagi, he turned around and called out, "Now I'd appreciate it if you could lead the team to search the house thoroughly, inside and out, including the surrounding area. Maybe we can find the murder weapon."

You have to follow the leader's instructions.

Without hesitation, Higashino Ning walked outside.

Meanwhile, he quietly invested 3 reward points into his reasoning skills.

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 30% proficiency, and your reasoning skill has been upgraded to level 2.]

Obsessive-compulsive disorder occurred.

I have a total of 15 reward points. I used two just now when I refreshed the residence. My reasoning skill has also reached 70% proficiency in the past few days, so I might as well level it up while I'm at it.

Staying at the Kudo residence is free. Even Shuichi Akai can stay there, so why can't he?

Hmph, Conan.

I'll have you under my control!

As soon as Higashino Ning left, Hattori Heiji and Conan started talking as if no one else was around.

The main topic of discussion was the doubts surrounding this case.

After analyzing the suspicious points, Hattori Heiji suddenly spoke up, "By the way, Kudo, that police officer named Higashino doesn't seem to have done anything particularly special."

“I saw him standing alone in the corner, lost in thought, not even doing his job properly.”

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

Conan was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "Please, I did say he was not simple, but Inspector Higashino is only slightly better than the other police officers."

"In cases like counterfeit money, I provided the leads on the suspects, and I also did the tracking."

"As for the Emperor's Cup hostage case that followed, he probably only managed to pinpoint the culprit on the court thanks to Haibara's reminder, and then found the culprit by asking around one by one."

He shrugged slightly. "I mean... don't have high expectations for Inspector Higashino's reasoning skills just because of what I said, okay?"

Heiji Hattori nodded. "Okay, that's true. So you mean that Miss Haibara is very good at deduction?"

Conan thought for a moment, "Anyway, it's not too bad."

...

downstairs.

After planning the search area for each person, Higashino Ning turned around and prepared to go back upstairs.

Solving a locked-room murder case ultimately requires finding a breakthrough by examining the locked room itself.

To be honest, Hattori Heiji's sudden cessation of conversation was a bit annoying.

What's wrong with sharing intelligence with the police?

Just as he was about to take a step, Higashino Ning suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him and quickly moved aside. Morizono Kikuto, the young master of the Morizono family, immediately passed by him.

"Feel sorry."

After leaving those words behind, Kikuto Morizono hurried back into the house, seemingly preparing to be questioned privately by Inspector Megure.

Oh, so you really dare to leave everyone's sight when you have the time and space?

Higashino Ning looked in the direction the other party had come from, and there stood Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama.

He thought for a moment, then stepped closer and asked, "Xiao Lan, do you know which way that young master Ju Ren came from?"
