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

Even though Kitagawa Kaede had strangled someone with his own hands, he was still panicking and stammered, "I...when did I ever plan to run away?"

Kitagawa Kaede avoided eye contact. "I didn't kill anyone. I have nothing to hide. I want to appeal!"

When he said he wanted to appeal, he habitually raised his hand.

Higashino Ning immediately noticed the band-aid on his finger.

Having reached level 3 in reasoning, Higashino Ning quickly pieced together some information.

A moved cactus + an injured finger = evidence.

Higashino Ning tightened his grip, forcing Kitagawa Kaede to lie on the ground. He half-squatted down and continued to press the muzzle of the gun against Kitagawa's forehead, speaking mockingly.

"Complaint?"

"Do you know whose blood we found on the cactus on the balcony today?"

Are you sure you want to continue humiliating yourself?

"Decorate the deceased's room to look similar to Mr. Higashida's room, and when he gets drunk, take him to the deceased's house so that he can leave his fingerprints on the door lock and other places."

"Then you use the signal transmission line that Mr. Higashida touched when he came to your house a few days ago to commit murder, so as to achieve the so-called perfect crime."

"I think I'm not wrong at all, Mr. Kitagawa."

Although some of the things I thought of only came to mind after I arrived.

However, Higashino Ning's reconstruction of the case is already quite complete.

Seeing that the police had obtained conclusive evidence, Kitagawa Kaede relaxed, stopped insisting, and confessed directly.

The motive for the murder was that the victim was pressuring him too much to get married.

"At 8:37 p.m., the prisoner confessed."

Sato Miwako reported indifferently, while Takagi Wataru calmly took notes.

But in reality, both of their expressions were forced out.

When Higashino Ning entered, he seemed quite confident and in control, but his behavior made Takasago and the other man feel quite insecure.

Do you have any clear evidence before you point a gun at someone's head?

They even said things like "Do you know what we detected?" What exactly did we detect?

That's completely untrue!

This is absolutely outrageous.

After the entire trip, Gao Zuo and his colleague couldn't find even a single compliant operation from Higashino Ning.

But surprisingly, Higashino Ning actually managed to get it done.

After the record was completed, the handcuffs were put on.

Next came the escorting of prisoners.

A large crowd of onlookers had already gathered outside Kitagawa's house.

Higashino Ning pushed Kitagawa Kaede out of the entrance hall, the cool evening breeze refreshing their minds.

Now that you're clear-headed, let's strike while the iron is hot.

Higashino Ning leaned close to Kitagawa Kaede's ear and whispered, "I was just kidding. We haven't even checked the cactus yet. You guessed right, I came here specifically to trick you."

Kitagawa Kaede's eyes widened in fury after hearing this, and he decided to recant his testimony later.

But Dongye Ning spoke up again, "Don't worry, we'll find out everything tomorrow. Judging from your guilty look, what I said should be true. We'll make sure it's all confirmed."

"Hey...hey! Why did you faint!?"

Seeing that the two people walking ahead, Gao Zuo and his companion, looked over, Higashino Ning held Kitagawa Kaede in his arms and said, "He seems unable to accept reality and has fainted."

Takagi Wataru nodded. "Oh, I see. Let me help you."

After returning to the Metropolitan Police Department, it was just a routine case-handling procedure.

There were no violations this time.

Since they weren't carrying body cameras, Higashino Ning wasn't worried that Kitagawa Kaede would report him for what had just happened.

I feel so good!

After receiving Eiichiro Higashida's gratitude, Ning Higashino left the Metropolitan Police Department with his good friend and Miwako Sato.

The three of them came together, and they left in three cars.

It's just like what it was like before I time-traveled and went to an internet cafe with my friends to stay up all night trying to get my first win.

[The case has been solved. Congratulations, host, you have received 2 reward points.]

"My beloved concubine, you've been busy for several days, and you only give me two?"

This case falls under the standard category and cannot be offered a higher reward.

"Couldn't you just... open a back door for me?"

No, you can't!

"Aren't you supposed to be aloof and cold?"

【Damn.】

...

When I got home, it was past ten o'clock, and the room lights were still on.

Since Ai Haibara said she would wait for him to come back and make him fried noodles, she wouldn't go back on her word.

Open the door.

"Welcome home."

"How did things go?"

Higashino Ning gently closed the door. "The culprit has been caught."

He then knelt down in front of the little girl and gently brushed aside the few unruly strands of hair in front of her eyes. "Your concern seems to have been carefully rehearsed many times. Your expression is cute, but it's not very natural."

"So, you have something on your mind again."

Ai Haibara paused for a moment, then sighed, "Why do you see everything so clearly, and why do you have to say it out loud?"

Higashino Ning let out a long breath, straightened his posture, and placed his hands on Haibara Ai's shoulders. "I told you this before you decided to come."

"I will take full responsibility for the child I rescued, and caring for the mental health of minors is one part of that."

"Moreover, I have always felt that eating well, drinking well, and living well are far less important than spiritual and emotional well-being."

He thought for a moment and then added, "However, considering that it's not about using care to exert mind control, you don't have to say it, I understand."

"The above statement is not a disguised form of mind control."

"That's not it either."

"I just say whatever comes to mind."

"Don't feel pressured, everyone has secrets. There's no rush, the future is bright. Please don't say I'm talking nonsense."

Ai Haibara: "......"

Why did you suddenly start singing?!

Oh...right, that makes sense, after all, that's rap.

Higashino Ning's concluding remarks eased the various sorrows in Haibara Ai's heart.

She closed her eyes, took two steps forward, and quietly leaned against Dongye Ning's chest. "Then I won't say anything more. I'll tell you when I've thought it through. Thank you."

The hug was brief.

Ai Haibara went to the kitchen to make fried noodles, while Ning Higashino went to the living room to rest.

After having a late-night snack, they went back to their rooms.

But before that, Higashino Ning wanted to take a nice, relaxing bath.

Ai Haibara's room is located directly above his head.

What is Ai Haibara thinking about while lying in bed?

She was still thinking about the same question: whether or not to reveal her true identity to Higashino Ning.

Despite having been mentally prepared, Higashino Ning still couldn't help feeling flustered after officially getting involved in cases related to the organization.

It makes you feel guilty to bring danger to others.

Looking at... I like it, that's right, it's very sad and heartbreaking when someone I like dies!

"Think about it carefully, think about it carefully..."

Ai Haibara tossed and turned, pressing the heels of her hands to her temples. "Even without my arrival, that idiot cop would have encountered this case and brushed past the organization's tentacles."

“These crises were not caused by me. What I should do now is to abandon those scattered worries and be frank with him.”

"Only in this way will stupid police officers realize the hidden dangers and avoid encountering crises or even deaths without knowing why."

“My concealment was not only a burden on myself, but also an irresponsibility towards those stupid police officers.”

"Being honest is both making peace with yourself and saving him."

"If he doesn't believe it, then find a way to make him believe it."

"He was scared, so I left on my own."

Ai Haibara mumbled something for a while before sitting up straight.

Decided.

I'll use tonight and tomorrow daytime to organize my thoughts, and then I'll confess tomorrow night!
