Chapter 176 The Infinitely Extended Main Line
Haibara Ai didn't know what was going on, but her reaction was even greater than that of Asano Nobushige before he fell into self-reflection: "I'm so sorry to disappoint Edogawa-san. He is my brother."
"Brother?" However, Conan was no less surprised than before, "Brother Asano actually has a sister..."
He didn't expect that Haibara Ai was just adopted by Nobushige Asano. After all, the various states that Haibara Ai showed were very unlike a six or seven-year-old girl. But to say that she was Asano Nobushige's younger sister, Conan would immediately disagree. It feels weird, okay!
"Yes." Xinfan smiled and pushed Huihara Ai in front of the children, "Xiao Ai, you have to get along well with your classmates."
Haibara Ai originally felt that the classmates, especially the ones in front of her, were very noisy, and it bothered her that they were surrounding her during class and after class. However, after hearing Nobuhara's words, Haihara Ai still responded softly.
Xinfan saw this and smiled: "Xiao Ai is a little shy, but he is a very nice person."
…
After saying goodbye to the children, Nobushige drove Haihara Ai back home.
I have to say that after a child joined the family, this cold room began to look more humane.
Nobushige took out the ingredients he had prepared long ago from the refrigerator and started to stew the curry, while Haihara Ai was lying on the dining table doing homework.
As he was writing, Haihara Ai suddenly raised his head and glanced at Nobuyoshi in the kitchen: "It's rare for a boy of your age to cook for others."
"A boy of your age" succeeded in amusing Nobuhiro: "That's because Xiao Ai is still young. When you grow up, you will see more men like me."
"Don't talk in a coaxing tone." Haiyuan Ai curled his lips, "It's very childish."
Xinfan thought for a while and said, "Does Xiao Ai want to do housework? We can make a table and divide everyone's work."
Hui Yuan Ai nodded immediately: "Okay."
In fact, she has not yet considered the Asano family as her own home, so as a host, it is natural for her to help the host family with housework.
From Nobushige's point of view, Japanese children often start to complete household chores independently very early, not to mention that he knows the true identity of Haibara Ai. The amnesia is only temporary. When Miyano Shiho comes back one day, she will be embarrassed when she thinks about how she enjoyed her brother's care as a little sister during this time.
Just then, Nobuhiro's cell phone started to vibrate in his pocket. He dried his hands and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Asano, has Hattori Heiji from Osaka made an appointment with you when to visit Osaka?" Conan's childish voice came through the receiver into Nobushige's ears.
"He didn't say." Nobushige raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you really want to go to Osaka?"
While he was on the phone, he closed the transparent glass sliding door of the kitchen.
Although Haibara Ai was curious about the person who called Asano Nobushige, she was a good child, and all good children knew not to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls.
"Have you not paid attention to the recent news?" Conan's tone was full of disbelief.
Nobushige then remembered that he hadn't watched TV for a long time. Should he show a cartoon to Haibara Ai? She should be able to finish her homework soon.
Because they were on the phone, Conan didn't know that Asano Nobushige was distracted. He continued: "Two murder cases have occurred in Kansai!"
Although Nobushige knew that this was a serial murder case and even knew who the murderer was, he still hesitated: "It's just two cases. People die unnaturally every day in Tokyo."
"How can this be the same..." Conan rolled his eyes on the phone, "The accident rate in Kansai is much lower than that in Kanto, and the two cases have something in common."
"What do they have in common?"
"The deceased were all strangled to death with a rope, but there was a dagger inserted in the chest, and there were no witnesses at the time of the crime."
Nobuhiro asked humbly: "Is this strange?"
"Of course!! The absence of any witnesses means that it clearly happened in the city, but not even a single suspicious person was seen around. This shows that the murderer must have been very calm when committing the crime, and was even prepared for it. If only It’s nothing like being strangled to death, but inserting a dagger after strangulation is so abnormal. I seriously suspect this is a serial murder case!”
"oh."
Conan was choked by someone's understatement of 'oh', and after a while he said loudly: "As a detective, I must investigate such a bad case! Now Hattori Heiji thinks you are me, so I have to leave this matter to you." is you."
The potatoes on the chopping board were chopped into two halves with a "click".
The pen in Hui Yuan Ai's hand was frightened by the sudden movement.
Nobushige calmly pretended that nothing happened and continued to cut the potatoes into smaller pieces: "I sincerely recommend that you identify yourself to Hattori Heiji."
"How can this work?!" Conan vetoed it without even thinking. "If I don't convince Heiji Hattori first, will he think there is something wrong with my head? The fact that I became smaller involves that mysterious organization. If Heiji Hattori knows about it, It is inevitable that he will be involved. Mr. Asano, you don’t know the dangers of that organization, but I am fully aware of it!"
Someone who had been shot in the chest by Shuichi Akai was silent for a moment, showing an expression that was hard to explain.
Conan thought Mr. Asano had listened to his words, so he added: "You will find that my identity is indeed unexpected. I have always been sorry. So, if possible, I still hope to do my best." Probably don’t bring more people into that organization’s radar.”
Nobushige felt a little strangely moved, but he quickly figured out the problem: "...Since Kudo Shinichi has become the target of the organization you mentioned, shouldn't we find a way to let Hattori Heiji Do you understand that I am not Kudo Shinichi?"
"Uh..." Conan hesitated, "I don't know why he is so sure that you are Kudo Shinichi. I obviously restored my identity and appeared in front of him with you last time."
"You are really troublesome." Nobuhiro sighed sincerely.
Conan laughed twice: "Come on, I have a hunch that this serial murder case is related to the organization. Soon I will find their lair and catch them all in one fell swoop!!"
Nobuhara turned his back to Haihara Ai, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Let Conan's fantasy last a little longer, and don't casually damage the children's self-confidence.
At least Conan's current goal is something that the world's major intelligence organizations have worked hard for decades without achieving results!
However, as expected, without Haibara Ai, Conan's understanding of the organization plummeted.
If this continues, will the main plot be extended from decades to hundreds of years? ?
Is it impossible to survive this year?
