Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

The next day.

Morning, Teitan Elementary School.

Grade 1, Class B.

The classroom was already quite lively, with a group of children chattering away non-stop.

For these kids, going to school is all about playing. The most painful thing is doing homework; everything else is fine.

"Conan, why do you look so listless?"

"nothing……"

In response to Genta's question, Conan shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.

Actually, he also felt it was quite strange.

When he woke up this morning, he felt extremely dizzy and heavy-headed, as if he had been hit on the head with a club.

What's even stranger is that he can't remember how he fell asleep yesterday at all. It's as if a part of his memory has vanished out of thin air, which makes him feel particularly puzzled.

But what puzzled him the most, and what made him suspicious, was his own mother.

In just a few days, he discovered that his mother had washed the bed sheets twice, changing them far too frequently. She had even washed the duvet covers twice, which he found utterly perplexing.

"Conan."

A little girl's voice reached his ears, making him look up and see that Ayumi had come closer, her face full of mystery.

Conan asked in confusion, "What?"

Ayumi smiled and said, "Conan, I'll tell you a secret. I've discovered something big."

"What's going on?" Genta suddenly appeared from somewhere, listening with great interest.

"Yes, what's up?" Mitsuhiko appeared from another spot.

all of a sudden.

A small group was formed, which was the legendary "Teenage Suicide Squad".

Well, they should be called the Junior Detective Club.

"Let me tell you..." Ayumi's voice was very low, her expression as cautious as a thief stealing something.

I just passed by the teachers' office.

When I was in the classroom, Ms. Kobayashi told me that a new transfer student was coming to our class.

"Wow!!!" Genta immediately cheered happily: "I remember that ever since Conan transferred to our class, there haven't been any new students. This is great, our class is going to become stronger again."

“Yes, yes.” Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement. “I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. But I hope it’s a boy, and a boy who is about as smart as Conan. That way, our Junior Detective League will be even stronger, and the adults will look at us with new respect.”

Conan's lips twitched violently.

The thought of this damn Junior Detective Club made him want to smash his head against the table in front of him.

He was once a high school student and a well-known young detective, but now he has to play these games with these kids, which is really painful.

And these brats are so unruly, always running off to dangerous places. He's already exhausted just taking care of these few; if another one comes along, he feels...

I think I should transfer schools or take a leave of absence.

"No."

Ayumi immediately retorted, "I hope a girl comes, so we can form a beautiful girl group."

"Ayumi, what girl group is that?"

"Of course it's the Pretty Girl Detective Group! They're way better than your Junior Detective Club."

“Ayumi, we’re all members of the Junior Detective League. If you want to quit, you need my permission as the leader. But I won’t agree to that.”

at this time.

In the elementary school teacher's office.

With a whoosh!

The door opened, and a woman with short hair, straight sideburns, and round-framed glasses, who looked similar to Sato Miwako, walked in.

Her name is Kobayashi Sumiko, and she is the homeroom teacher of Class 1-B, but the students affectionately call her Teacher Kobayashi.

She walked up to Shiraishi Osamu and Ai, carrying some thick books, and smiled:

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This is the first-grade textbook. It's all here."

"Thank you, Ms. Kobayashi."

Ai politely thanked them and packed the books one by one into her newly bought backpack. In no time, the backpack was bulging and full.

Looking at the woman who resembled Miwako Sato, Osamu Shiraishi's selfish nature flared up instantly. He approached her and said in a very gentlemanly manner:

"Ms. Kobayashi, do you have time to go out for a meal together? Ai is a new student, and I'm worried she might not understand something, so I'd like to ask you for some advice."

0. Requesting flowers.......

"Uh……"

Sumiko Kobayashi, slightly overwhelmed by Osamu Shiraishi's enthusiasm, took a small step back and politely said:

"Mr. Shiraishi, don't worry. I will teach Ai well. If there's anything she doesn't understand, I can keep her here for extra lessons."

"Haha, it's okay. Actually, it's the same if you tell me. I can teach her when I go back."

"Uh... haha..."

Kobayashi Sumiko awkwardly laughed and stepped back, while Shiraishi Osamu approached step by step, and soon the two were almost touching.

Unable to gently push Shiraishi Xiu's body away with both hands, she said awkwardly yet politely:

.o…0

“Mr. Shiraishi, it’s better to leave teaching students to professionals like us. Parents sometimes make mistakes.”

"Don't worry, I'm actually a teacher too, a high school teacher."

"what?"

Sumiko Kobayashi was very surprised.

Shiraishi Osamu nodded confidently: "Of course, I'm just a substitute teacher, I haven't been officially hired yet."

Sumiko Kobayashi exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's amazing! That's incredibly impressive!"

"Haha, it's nothing. By the way, I'm not only a teacher, but also a police officer."

After saying that, Shiraishi Osamu even took out his police handbook.

Sumiko Kobayashi looked at the police handbook in front of her, flipped through it, and compared it with Osamu Shiraishi's. She was even more surprised.

She had initially thought he was a frivolous man, but he turned out to be so outstanding, which immediately dispelled her worries.

"Officer Shiraishi, I didn't expect you to be so amazing. But it's almost time, I need to take Ai to class."

"Okay, fine. How about we exchange phone numbers?"

"Hmm... alright then..."

After that, the two exchanged phone numbers.

Although progress has been a bit slow, Shiraishi Osamu is quite satisfied. With a good start, things should be easier from here on out.

Ai Haibara remained expressionless the entire time, her eyes like those of a dead fish, just staring at Shiraishi Shuko-sensei. She didn't know what to say; he was just a complete pervert.

Chapter 0182: Gathering of the Winery's Elite

in the afternoon.

Teitan Elementary School has let out.

Central Avenue.

Ai walked silently down the street with her schoolbag on her back, lost in her own thoughts, indifferent to everything around her.

"Haibara-kun, I didn't expect we'd end up on the same road home." A noisy voice, like that of a sparrow, came from beside her; it was Ayumi.

"My house is in this direction too," Yuan Tai's loud voice echoed through the streets.

“What a coincidence, me too.” Mitsuhiko was not to be outdone.

Conan's lips twitched, and he could only bite the bullet and say, "My house is in this direction too."

Ai automatically blocked out these sounds, her steps remaining steady, as if they didn't exist.

This was the first time she had ever found the child so annoying; he had been annoying from the moment he entered the classroom in the morning until school was over in the afternoon.

Watching the "410s" chatter on and on, she wondered if their mouths ever got dry. Her ears were practically dry from listening to them; these little devils were just too good.

The kids didn't care about Ai's indifference at all and continued talking to themselves.

Ayumi exclaimed happily, "Haibara-san is so cool! The way she keeps her face cold and doesn't say anything is so cool!"

Yuan Tai nodded in agreement, saying, "I think it's really cool too. Is this what they call a cool and aloof goddess on TV?"

Mitsuhiko retorted, "The term 'cool goddess' refers to adults. Haibara-san isn't an adult yet; she's a child like us. She should be called 'cool female classmate.'"

Conan feigned ignorance and said, "This way of speaking is easy to read, and I think it sounds nice."

Ai: ...

The veins on Ai's forehead were practically bulging out; sometimes, when you can't bear it anymore, there's no need to endure it any longer.

She took a deep breath and roared, "You little brats! Stop talking to me! Aren't you annoying?! Huh!!!"

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

Ayumi and the others stopped in their tracks, staring wide-eyed at Ai, who was making a shouting motion.

The passersby were startled by the sudden noise, glanced at the group of children, shook their heads with smiles, and stopped paying attention to the situation.

"call……"

Ai slowly exhaled, and seeing that the kids had finally stopped nagging, she nodded in satisfaction.

Unfortunately, the next second...

"Amazing!"
