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

I watch tokusatsu (special effects) movies after get off work and on my days off.

It wasn't that Higashino Ning and his group had a bad relationship with Chiba Kazunobu, but rather that every time they invited him out for a meal or something, he was reluctant to go, which put them in a difficult position.

Gradually, we simply stopped calling it that, which is better for everyone.

Anyway, you don't necessarily have to hang out together all the time to have a good relationship.

Hearing Higashino Ning's words, Chiba Kazunobu smiled awkwardly, "I was almost finished watching it, but I found a new show yesterday."

Okay then.

Higashino Ning found a paper file bag to put the CD in, intending to take it back to Ai that night.

Next, it's time to chat!

Today's theme is about a peaceful and serene life.

Conan went to school, and nothing happened in Tokyo.

At noon, a rare sight of everyone taking a nap together appeared.

Higashino Ning was reading a detective novel and got so sleepy that he slept until he got off work.

No one came to bother us during this time.

To the others, Higashino Ning was exhausted because he had spent a lot of energy solving several major cases recently.

Although his colleague's progress was infuriating, they were all police officers upholding justice. After putting aside his own feelings, he admired Higashino Ning.

Since no emergency calls were received, Inspector Megure, who had come in to catch up on sleep in the afternoon, simply let everyone go home.

People have no choice but to do so when they reach middle age.

Officer Hat was exhausted after returning home last night, and was further drained this morning. He just wants to go home and relax.

"Higashino, let's go, I'll take you home."

Takagi Wataru grabbed his coat and walked over, in a cheerful mood. "Today is really relaxing. I haven't felt this way in a long time."

Dongye Ning rubbed his eyes and patted his face. "No need, I have other things to do."

He pushed the table up and said, "By the way, would it be convenient for us to take a day off this Saturday? I'm planning to move."

"Moving?" Takagi Wataru was a little confused. "Why do I suddenly have to move? Is the landlord raising the rent?"

Higashino Ning shook his head, completely regaining his lost energy and spirit, and said with a bright smile, "It's just that the contract is almost due, so I'm planning to become Professor Agasa's neighbor. It will be more convenient for Ai to go to school, and it will also make it faster for me to get to the Metropolitan Police Department."

Moving was a bit of a surprise, but not a particularly big deal.

The two checked their vacation schedules.

Higashino Ning will be resting tomorrow, and Takagi Wataru will be resting on Saturday.

So I actually have a day off tomorrow?

Higashino Ning hooked her arm around Takagi Wataru's neck. "That's perfect. If you're free on Saturday, come over for dinner early."

"Hehe... I think the chances of him coming are rather low," Takagi Wataru chuckled twice, then lowered his voice and said cautiously, "To be honest, I always feel that the probability of serious crimes occurring on weekends or holidays is much higher than on weekdays."

Well... I can only say that you're absolutely right.

The two walked arm in arm, chatting as they went, before parting ways at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Just as Higashino Ning was about to leave, a sweet, lively voice came from behind her.

"Officer Higashino!"

Looking back, it was Nagasawa Yuki.

Although she was still wearing her police uniform, the relaxed mood after get off work allowed her to regain her youthful and beautiful image.

She glanced at Takagi Wataru's retreating figure, slightly puzzled. "That's strange, isn't Officer Higashino walking with Officer Takagi today?"

Higashino Ning nodded. "Yes, I have something else to do."

After thinking for a moment, he politely asked in return, "What about you? It seems like you don't plan to go home right away."

Yuki Nagasawa tilted her head, chuckling softly in the gentle breeze, "Since I have tomorrow off, I'm planning to buy some groceries and cook something I like to eat tonight, and then..."

As she spoke, she cutely stuck out her tongue, "Then I'll have a couple of beers by myself. It's less stressful to go crazy at home, right?"

Yuki Nagasawa paused for a moment, then asked, "Where is Officer Higashino going?"

Higashino Ning pointed in a direction.

Before she could even speak, Yuki Nagasawa enthusiastically said, "Let's go together? I'm going over there too."

this......

Does this feel like a romantic encounter?

Higashino Ning didn't know whether he was just indulging in self-admiration or simply being delusional.

It should count.

After all, it's a bit far-fetched to assume that a beautiful woman likes you just because she's nearby.

It's just a little strange.

Although Yuki Nagasawa is a new policewoman who only officially started working this year, the two of them often bumped into each other on their way to and from get off work.

Most of the time, they would just nod and greet each other and that would be it, but today Yuki Nagasawa showed a strong desire to get closer to him from the morning.

The two strolled slowly down the street, exchanging a few words every now and then.

Soon, Higashino Ning understood why Nagasawa Yuki had taken the initiative to approach him.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Because... she was the second policewoman captured by Ai Haibara, but it's unclear what aspect of Ai Haibara's character resonated with her.

The main topics of conversation between the two revolved around Ai Haibara.

It's clear that Yuki Nagasawa is very interested in Ai Haibara.

Out of caution, Higashino Ning made up a lot of short stories for the other party on the spot, such as Ai Haibara reading ancient Roman history at night, and Ai Haibara reading Aristotle's works in three days.

As they talked, Higashino Ning was pretty much certain that Nagasawa Yuki really liked Haibara Ai's unique charm—a child who was so knowledgeable despite her young age and didn't look like a child at all.

Soon, dusk was about halfway through.

Higashino Ning stopped in front of a mobile phone store. "This is my stop."

Yuki Nagasawa understood, so she smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I went home after buying groceries at the market up ahead. See you another day, Officer Higashino."

"See you later."

Watching Yuki Nagasawa walk away, Ning Higashino pushed open the shop door and entered.

He came here to buy a cell phone for Ai Haibara, so that it would be easier for them to stay in touch.

While choosing a mobile phone, Higashino Ning was drawn to a news report on television.

"It is reported that recently, the Romanov dynasty's treasure, the Egg of Memory, was discovered in the Suzuki Foundation's treasury."

"The Suzuki Foundation has decided to exhibit it at the Suzuki Museum, which will soon open in Osaka Castle Park, for visitors to enjoy."

"However, yesterday, the internationally renowned thief, Phantom Thief Kid, officially sent a pre-announcement letter to the Suzuki Foundation, regarding the details..."

Higashino Ning stared into thought as he looked at the news.

If he remembers correctly, this seems to be a theatrical version, right?

Chapter 65 The Case of Natural Death, The Beginning of the Egg of Memories

Higashino Ning is in a hurry.

If Kaito Kid makes an appearance, the social impact will definitely be significant; it's definitely a major case.

But this trivial matter is none of his business!

Catching Kaito Kid was the job of the Second Investigation Division; it had absolutely nothing to do with the First Investigation Division.

"Can't I just meddle?"

Higashino Ning thought about it carefully, and realized it really wouldn't work.

Cross-responsibility operations can only be passive, not proactive.

The reason why the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the police have been at odds for so long is ultimately due to this.

The two departments have too much overlap in their business scope, which has led to long-standing resentment.

This applies to different departments, and also to different classrooms within the same department.

No problem, Conan will take care of it.

If one or two people die or a bomb goes off, the First Investigation Division can officially get involved.

A theatrical release... I wonder how many reward points they'll give and what good stuff you can get.

"Guest...look..."

At that moment, the boss's voice pulled Higashino Ning back to reality.

The phone is already packaged, and the carrier's invoice and shopping receipt are all ready; all that's left is to pay.

Higashino Ning quickly composed himself, took out his card, paid the bill, and left.

When I got home, Ai Haibara was watching TV.

Actually, she prefers reading books.

Unfortunately, Higashino Ning had nothing but a police handbook.

"Welcome back."

The little girl looked towards the door. "I've already eaten. What about you?"

Higashino Ning then belatedly said, "I'm back."

He really doesn't have this habit; he forgets it as soon as he's not paying attention.

As usual, she changed her shoes and hung up her coat. Higashino Ning sat down next to Haibara Ai. "I ate on the way back."
