Chapter 45 Use the Adoption Card!

Conan followed Dr. Agasa.

"Officer Higashino, it's you who are here this time." Dr. Ali was in good spirits, "How have you been lately?"

Because of Haibara Ai's relationship, he and Higashino Ning seemed to be more familiar with each other.

Conan asked curiously: "Officer Higashino, I heard from Officer Takagi this morning that another major bank robbery occurred yesterday. Is there any result from the investigation now?"

Takagi Na really told you everything.

Dongye Ning raised his eyebrows, "No results have been achieved so far. Okay, please take me to see the prisoner quickly. I've been very busy recently."

Seeing that he didn't want to reveal too many details, Conan stopped asking.

Take your time, not everyone is as honest and honest as Takagi Wataru.

Moreover, his head still hurts, and the old woman's blow really brought him back to his peak state.

Last night, he responded to this unexpected incident with the same attitude as Gin, exploring secret passages, solving treasure puzzles, and finding the treasure. His brain was working at full efficiency throughout the process.

Unfortunately, by the time he figured everything out, the prisoner had already been taken care of by Haihara Ai and others.

Busy work in vain.

At this time, Dongye Ning walked up to Haiyuan Ai and touched his head, "I heard from the Mumu Police Department that you made a great contribution this time, so that's not bad."

What do you mean it's not bad? It's obviously super awesome!

Hum~!

Haibara Ai refused Higashino Ning's touch on the head and used the tsundere skill. At the same time, she said calmly: "I have thought about what you said before. I will find an opportunity to elaborate on it when I get back."

Dongye Ning's heart suddenly pounded, and he leaned over to the little Lolita's ear and asked in a hesitant tone, "The thing you mentioned...could it be that you came to my house?"

Hui Yuan Ai pursed her lips and asked, "Yes, you regret it?"

"No." Dongye Ning straightened his waist, his eyes were relaxed, "I'm quite looking forward to it."

[Is the host sure you want to use the adoption card on the target Haihara Ai? 】

"Sure."

[The target meets the conditions for use, the adoption card has taken effect, and all legal formalities have entered the resolution process. It is expected that all processing will be completed within 12 hours. At that time, the host is asked to take the current person to the relevant unit to collect certification materials and other items. If you choose to mail it, the time will be extended to 24 hours. 】

Dongye Ning thought for a moment before choosing to mail it.

There is no other way. After bringing the prisoner back today, he still has to deal with follow-up related matters. Mumu Shisan may also arrange other tasks for him, and he really can't get away from it.

After all, it only takes one day to make the final decision, so it’s not so urgent.

Moreover, the adoption card only helps resolve legal issues. For example, Dr. Ali and Didan Primary School need to go to the court in person.

It's not that as soon as the adoption card takes effect, Haibara Ai becomes a host in Higashino Ning's family directly on the level of human consciousness.

If this is the effect, then Haibara Ai should stay at Dr. A Li's house first, as he has other candidates for adoption.

At the same time, Haihara Ai suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had formed some kind of connection with Dong Yening.

But this feeling is fleeting.

"Idiot policeman, don't think about it again after being rejected by the law."

"If we continue to get along well like this, maybe I will come to your house by myself some time in the future."

Haiyuan Ai looked at Dongye Ning's back and muttered to himself.

As for the "sometime in the future" she mentioned, she doesn't know whether it will change in the future. Anyway, the scene she envisions now is:

One tired evening, Higashino dragged his body back home, intending to have a drink and then sleep as usual.

At this time, she opened the door under the unbelievable gaze of the other party, appeared as she was, waved with a smile, and said, "Stupid policeman, do you want to try dating me?"

Hmm... I'm really a bit shy, making this association...

"Haihara, what were you whispering to Officer Higashino just now? Your expression is still weird now."

Conan looks for an opportunity to enter.

Hui Yuan Ai glanced at him, "You don't trust me, why should I tell you."

So Conan left the scene angrily, saying in his heart that Haiyuan really held a grudge.

...

Dongye Ning soon saw the prisoner. The old lady was unconscious and unwilling to say anything. She was left alone in a daze.

There was no other way, so Higashino had no choice but to question each one one by one to restore the full picture of yesterday's incident. Then he walked around the secret passage under the leadership of Conan and recorded all the information that needed to be recorded.

The old woman is a fake, and her real body has been burned to death many years ago.

It is speculated that the impostor also killed two other people.

Although there is insufficient evidence and the prisoner has not confessed yet, the crime can still be established, but it will require some manipulations when sent to trial.

Of course, it would be best if the fake person in the back could admit it to himself, so as to save trouble.

And Higashino Ning is not worried about any problems if he does this, because the original script is in his heart, and there is no possibility of missing the prisoner.

After some investigation and evidence collection, it was noon.

Higashino Ning had a meal in the castle, and after completing the investigation, he officially left with the prisoner in the afternoon.

[The case has been solved, congratulations to the host for getting 2 reward points. 】

Just two?

It's not bad, I picked it up for free anyway.

I have already accumulated 15 reward points, and I should be able to exceed 20 when I solve the bank robbery case. Then I can start thinking about how to use them.

His desire to consume is just around the corner.

Ai Huihara and the others went home with Dr. Agasa as usual.

Conan's head was still hurting. Out of rules and regulations and humanitarian concern, Tono Ning asked Dr. Agasa to take him to the hospital first, and the record could be done a few days later.

The most important thing was that Conan did not take the initiative to ask for follow-up on the bank robbery case.

Tono Ning couldn't rush someone to come if he didn't ask.

In terms of seeking help from detectives, the current police's main strategy is to neither take the initiative nor refuse, and Megure Jusan has implemented this concept most of the time.

As a man who wants to be the king of police, Tono Ning can't openly sing against the entire police system.

Another thing is that actively seeking detective help to solve the case will only affect his way forward, so passive acceptance is enough.

...

Back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Tono Ning handed over the prisoner according to standard procedures, and then returned to the office to organize the case files, while waiting for new orders that Megure Jusan might have.

Not busy, not idle.

Halfway through sorting out the files, his colleague said that the prisoner had begun to confess, so he stopped his work and ran over to listen.

For a view called treasure, he wasted his time, ruined his face, and killed three people.

Was it worth it?

Of course it was worth it.

How could the evil in her heart not be worth this O. Henry-style teasing ending?
