It was Miss Huiyuan who helped me. Please watch the VCR.

"Officer Higashino??"

Whether to say this name or not was something Conan had never expected.

But if you have to say it, this is quite reasonable.

After all, today, Haibara Ai and Higashino Ning had a strange interaction.

It was this interaction that dispelled Conan's instinctive suspicion of Higashino Ning.

The commission received by the Junior Detective Team was just a temporary event and was unpredictable. The possibility that Haibara Ai and Higashino Ning acted specifically to deceive him was basically non-existent.

But why did Officer Higashino suddenly become important?

The presence is quite prominent!

Conan had met Higashino Ning before, but there was very little interaction between the two. Until today, it was as if he had gotten to know Higashino Ning all over again.

This seemingly eccentric, thick-skinned Officer Higashino, who enjoys teasing elementary school students, was obviously a taciturn person in the past.

Conan calmed down and continued to ask, "Then how did you meet?"

Huiyuan Ai was somewhat speechless, "Does every detective have such a strong curiosity?"

But she still spoke slowly with memories, "It was raining heavily outside when I escaped from the organization's garbage pipe."

"I wanted to come directly to you, but I caught a cold from the rain and was exhausted. Just when I was about to collapse, I saw Officer Dongye standing on the side of the road with his police ID in a daze."

"Rather than lying on the ground and freezing to death, I chose to ask him for help."

Conan frowned, "Staring blankly at his police ID card... If I remember correctly, Officer Higashino has been on the job for at least two years. How could he possibly do something like doubting his own identity?"

"Moreover, as a police officer, even if you were forced to take you home at the first moment, you should have immediately sent you to a hospital or welfare home and looked for information about your family, right?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but sneer, "Then he not only took you in, but he didn't ask anything, he didn't even know your name, do you think this is reasonable?"

Huiyuan Ai clapped her hands softly, "Of course I have thought about what you said, but you can never use a rational logical framework to constrain human behavior."

"Just like a murderer who kills people, doesn't he know that killing people will bring him trouble? A corrupt politician who takes bribes, doesn't he know that doing those things may lead to very serious consequences?"

"But the fact is that there are always people who do things that go against logic, reason and rules. Reason often suppresses emotion, but emotion also has the opportunity to take over."

Conan scowled, "What do you want to say?"

Huihara Ai's expression turned cold. "In a high-pressure society like Japan, as a police officer who has been working for more than two years and is still just a patrol officer, what's wrong with occasionally feeling confused and doubtful about your life and future?"

"It's just that this time, he happened to meet me when he was confused about his career on the rainy night after work."

It’s not that Haibara Ai has too many thoughts, but that Tono Ning’s various behaviors can support her speculation.

It can also be seen from Conan’s reaction that Higashino Ning is very different from before.

It only takes a stone to create ripples in stagnant life.

Now that I think about it, maybe she is that stone, otherwise Dong Ye Ning wouldn't have shown that he didn't want her to leave.

No matter what, even though Higashino Ning refused to admit it, Haibara Ai believed in her own feelings that the other party just didn't want her to leave!

After listening to what Haibara Ai said, Conan pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

This argument makes sense, and even incorporates analytical considerations of human nature into rational thinking based on facts.

And the angle and method that Haibara Ai used to defend Tono Ning also slightly dispelled his doubts.

Generally speaking, the defense of an accomplice will use more "evidentiary" arguments, similar to a criminal proving his innocence.

Conan's eyes swept across Huihara Ai's face, "But you still haven't told me what happened at Officer Higashino's house that night."

silence.

Then it broke out.

Huihara walked up to Conan angrily and raised her voice, speaking very quickly, "He gave me an injection and an IV and pinched my nose and said I had a viral cold. Is that okay?!"

After saying that, Haibara Ai went back to the sofa and sat down, turning her head to the side.

Conan wiped the spit from his face with a sullen look on his face, and kept complaining in his heart.

What an outrageous operation it is to analyze snot!

And injections and infusions...Officer Higashino, you are a police officer! You are not a nurse, let alone a caregiver!

The skills this guy possesses are really weird.

"It seems that Officer Higashino is really not an accomplice of her." Conan glanced in the direction of the sofa and thought that the other party's angry little movements were exactly the same as Mouri Ran's, including the way she spoke loudly to him just now.

Are all girls clones?

How did they achieve this uniformity?

Conan didn't quite understand, but he knew he could give Haibara Ai more trust.

It’s this Dr. Agasa...Alas...how could he be so outrageous?

The people arrived in the afternoon and their household registration and identity documents were processed in the evening.

There wasn't even a hint of suspicion or vigilance.

Conan shook his head and laughed, "I didn't believe that guy's nonsense, I just believe in the doctor's ability to judge people."

He walked over to the sofa and said, "Okay, where is the CD you mentioned? If it's not far, let's go now."

Seeing that the atmosphere had finally eased, Dr. Agasa, who had tried to smooth things over many times without success, quickly agreed, "Yes, if that organization continues to use that kind of drug in the future, there is no guarantee that there will be cases like Ai, Shinichi and you."

"By then, maybe the organization will find you through your childhood photos, Ai. We'd better hurry up."

Conan raised his eyes.

Doctor, it turns out you are not that stupid?

Huihara Ai raised an eyebrow, "So, will Edogawa-san agree to take in a dangerous and hateful person like me?"

Conan shrugged. "After your story is exposed, it's only a matter of time before I get exposed too. Since the doctor trusts you so much, you can just stay here and be a primary school student."

"Protecting you means protecting myself. Your goal has been achieved, so let's cooperate well from now on."

Haibara Ai was not surprised that Conan saw through her true purpose. After all, he was the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.

She stood up and said, "Let's go, Nanyang University, Professor Hirota Masami, but I don't know exactly where he lives, I need to ask when we get there."

When Conan heard this name, he was stunned. It was such a familiar surname.

Dr. Agasa quickly ran to the landline and said, "I'll call and ask first. I can find the professor's contact information through the school."

Soon, Dr. Agasa got in touch with Hirota Masami on the phone and made an appointment to meet in three hours.
