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

Time quickly turned to night.

Ai Haibara returned home and waited for a short while before Ning Higashino came back.

"Takagi-nii~!"

The little girl stood at the door and greeted the passenger seat. Her crisp voice was incredibly charming and immediately stumped Takagi Wataru.

She...she called me brother!

Takagi Wataru struggled to process what he was seeing, and finally stiffly raised his hand in response, "H-Ai, good afternoon."

At this moment, Ai Haibara had arrived at the car, tilting her head with a cute and puzzled look, "Takagi-nii, you seem very nervous?"

Oh my god, how can they be so cute!!!

Takagi Wataru said to Higashino Ning, "You deserve to die! You actually got such a cute 'daughter' ahead of time!"

Even a cute little sister would find it hard to accept!

Higashino Ning glanced at Takagi Wataru and said to the little girl, "Get in the car quickly. Don't call him 'brother' anymore. He doesn't like that title."

Takagi Wataru immediately retorted, "Absolutely not!"

Ai Haibara actually knew that Wataru Takagi was a little embarrassed by her calling him that, after all, she knew very well how shy this police officer was after several interactions.

Then I won't tease him anymore~

Ai Haibara jumped into the car, sat down, and fastened her seatbelt, raising her little fist like a vibrant and energetic girl.

"I'm ready, let's go!"

Even Higashino Ning couldn't take it anymore.

Goodness, I wonder if any experts know the destructive power of this kind of loli. I, for one, can hardly describe it.

You know how it is when... suddenly you get all excited?

The car quickly merged into the main road, and as traffic increased, Higashino Ning could only crawl along at a snail's pace.

There's no hope that Wataru Takagi will initiate a conversation with Ai Haibara.

While keeping an eye on the road conditions, Higashino Ning said, "I'll find some time to visit your school another day. Ms. Kobayashi probably doesn't know that I've become your guardian yet."

Ai Haibara was stunned. "So you didn't do anything except handle the paperwork?"

She sighed helplessly, "The carnival is in a few days, remember to come and watch our rehearsal."

After the conversation started, Takagi Wataru felt comfortable interjecting. He became curious and asked, "Ai, you must be rehearsing with Conan and the other kids, right? What program is it?"

As he spoke, he began to speculate, "I think it's something like Gomera vs. Kamen Rider, right?"

Ai Haibara said in a light tone, "We're rehearsing a murder case."

That one sentence silenced Takagi Wataru.

Accident?

That was quite unexpected.

Is that reasonable?

Considering the nature of the Junior Detective Club, this is indeed quite reasonable.

But he still had something to say, "Um... a murder at a carnival... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Ai Haibara remained relaxed, saying, "Actually, there weren't any violent or bloody scenes, and the theme was actually to thank the police officers."

She extended a direct invitation, "If Takagi-nii-san has time, please come and watch it with us!"

"Okay, I'll definitely come if I have the chance." Takagi Wataru nodded in agreement.

He will not only go by himself, but he will also invite Sato Miwako to go with him.

Just imagine that scene... I wonder if it will be the same when he and Officer Sato go to watch their child's performance as parents in the future?

Takagi Wataru started to make connections, and suddenly a side story unfolded.

Side story: He and Miwako Sato did go to the school as parents, but they were not a couple.

Takagi Wataru shook his head quickly, exclaiming that he could not accept such an ending!

...

The dinner was held at the same restaurant as last time.

The staffing remains unchanged: two men, two women, and one child.

While receiving cat-like treatment, Ai Haibara continues to eat her fill.

The topic of conversation among Higashino Ning and the others was promotion.

Miyamoto Yumi and Sato Miwako were quite shocked by the news that Higashino Ning was about to be promoted to Assistant Inspector.

Strictly speaking, Higashino Ning is their younger brother, who is 6 years younger than them.

As a result, Higashino Ning has now completely closed the 6-year gap?

Kind of outrageous.

But when they thought about the achievements Higashino Ning had made recently, they felt that Higashino Ning's promotion was not a big problem.

The problem is that the interpersonal relationships involved are a bit difficult to manage.

The two women didn't expect Takagi Wataru to be able to give Higashino Ning any guidance on this matter, so they simply started talking to Higashino Ning one after the other.

Chapter 90 Then you should just shut up.

There's no reason not to listen to the concern of the two older sisters.

Even if you feel it's useless, it's still a token of the other person's goodwill.

Halfway through the meal, Higashino Ning suddenly launched an attack.

"Yumi, how about we have a couple of drinks?"

Yumi Miyamoto paused for a moment while biting into the freshly grilled beef shoulder, then quickly swallowed it. "Then I'll have a couple of bites!"

To be honest, this invitation to drink was a bit sudden.

Takagi Wataru quickly stopped him, "Higashino, you still have to drive later."

Sato Miwako chimed in, "Yeah, you're not planning on driving under the influence, are you?"

After saying that, she leaned closer to Yumi Miyamoto and lowered her voice, "Besides, you're on your period right now, it's not good for you to drink alcohol."

Miyamoto Yumi blinked. "Oh, then let's drink it another day."

Higashino Ning waved his hand, "How about this, Yumi, you drive my car to take me and Ai home later, and then you can drive the car back and come pick me up for work tomorrow, or I can call a car for you after we get home."

"I'm quite happy today, so I'd like to have a drink."

As he spoke, he gave Miyamoto Yumi a few winks.

Yumi Miyamoto immediately understood, "Oh~~ no problem, I'll take you and Ai home later, and then..."

She looked at her best friend, "I'll have to trouble you, Miwako, to give Takagi-kun a ride anyway, since it's on your way."

Wouldn't a more appropriate arrangement be for Takagi Wataru to drop Higashino off, and then pick Higashino up again tomorrow to go to work together?

Sato Miwako really wanted to say that, but she suddenly stopped herself from speaking.

She glanced at Takagi Wataru, then quickly looked away. "Let's arrange it this way then."

Higashino Ning and Miyamoto Yumi exchanged words of encouragement with their eyes.

The arrangements have already been made, so Higashino Ning naturally has to drink some.

Sitting between the two older sisters, Ai Haibara was secretly worried.

If things continue like this, will her brother Dongye become a notorious drunkard in his middle age?

That bumbling detective, Kogoro Mouri, seems to be an alcoholic, and his wife has run away with him.

Will she also run away in the future because she can't stand the alcoholic?

Ai Haibara suddenly paused.

No, what are you doing?!

Today is about revealing our identities, not confirming our relationship. Why are we already imagining married life?

You're such a love-struck fool, you deserve to die!!!

The little girl quickly banished all distracting thoughts and continued her arduous task of cooking.

...

The dinner party ended shortly afterward.

Miyamoto Yumi waved to her best friend, "Miwako, then I'll trouble you to take Takagi-kun home~"

Sato Miwako blushed slightly for no apparent reason. "You should also be careful on the road."

The time for parting has come.

Higashino Ning only drank one pitcher of beer today, and it was a breeze.

After getting on the bus, Miyamoto Yumi kept chattering away, taking turns talking to Higashino Ning and Haibara Ai.

With her around, there's never a dull moment.

She is always enthusiastic and is very popular.

However, her position in the Ministry of Transportation was incomparable to that of Sato Miwako in the First Investigation Division, because the Ministry of Transportation not only had many women, but also many beautiful women.

Unlike the First Investigation Division, where there was only one girl in the entire office, Sato Miwako, and in fact, there were very few girls in the entire Criminal Investigation Department.

Eh?

Higashino Ning suddenly thought of Nagasawa Yuki.

Logically speaking, this girl should be quite popular.

Could it be that she's been out of the public eye these past few days because she has a lot of dates?
