Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 282 Ai Haibara: I'm here to catch them cheating.

"I got dumped pretty badly."

Ai Haibara expressionlessly pulled a tissue from her pocket and gently wiped her mouth, speaking to Conan in a tone tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

"me……"

Conan blushed and stammered as he tried to retort, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't get them out.

After all, who can we blame for all of this?

Ultimately, it was all his own doing.

Perhaps it is because he has always taken Ran Mouri's care for granted.

When he faced the possibility of losing this relationship, he suddenly realized that he had been ignoring Xiaolan's feelings for so long.

After a moment of silence, Conan suddenly raised his head, looking directly at Ai Haibara, a hint of confusion and hesitation in his eyes:

"...Do you think I should tell Xiaolan my true identity?"

This question had been lingering in Conan's mind, causing him great distress.

Conan had wanted to tell Ran Mouri his identity many times before, but he was always delayed by various circumstances.

But given the current situation, it seems I have no choice but to speak up.

If I don't tell him soon, my future girlfriend will be snatched away by my arrogance.

Conan stared at Ai Haibara, then glanced at Qi Ming in the coffee shop from time to time.

Qi Ming and Ai Haibara know each other's identities, but their relationship doesn't seem to have any major problems.

Moreover, the two people's situation seemed to have some similarities to his own.

Ai Haibara constantly faces pursuit and arrest from the Black Organization.

Qi Ming, on the other hand, bears a great risk himself in order to protect Ai Haibara, who is a traitor (mystery).

So, if I also choose to be honest, the situation shouldn't be too bad, right?

Ai Haibara glanced at Conan, and this time, unusually, she didn't retaliate with a sarcastic remark.

"Since you've asked me this, don't you already have an answer in your heart?"

"The most crucial thing is not whether you tell Ran Mouri your identity, but whether you can bear the choices that follow."

Upon hearing this, Conan blinked blankly for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, it is not only the process that needs to be considered, but also the results of doing so.

If he reveals his identity to Ran Mouri, he will face two completely different paths.

One option is to give up the pursuit of the Black Organization and live a peaceful life as an ordinary child.

He occasionally uses Kogoro Mouri's words to solve a case, leading a carefree and joyful life.

In this way, not only can you stay away from danger, but those close to you will also not be in danger because of you.

But what about the other way?

If one insists on pursuing the justice deep in one's heart, and continues to investigate the Black Organization and Qi Ming, then one should eventually be honest with Ran Mouri about everything.

The unknown road ahead is unpredictable.

Thinking about this, Conan was somewhat conflicted.

As a detective, uncovering the truth has long been an indispensable part of his life.

If you really insist on choosing the second option...

"Eh?"

As he pondered, Conan suddenly paused and involuntarily let out a soft sigh.

Wait a minute, it seems like doing this is feasible, right?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this won't have a big impact!

If you only tell Xiaolan about this, given her personality, she would never reveal this information to anyone else.

Besides, didn't Hattori Heiji already know his true identity?

So far, he hasn't encountered any danger because of this!

With this in mind, Conan's train of thought instantly became incredibly clear.

Did he overcomplicate things before?

Add to that the words Haibara used to scare him earlier.

Unless he shrinks and immediately heads into the mountains, if he comes into contact with other people, the organization will eventually deal with him as well.

That said, why did I initially think that there would be danger if my identity were exposed?

Oh, right, I remember now, it was Professor Agasa who told him never to reveal his true identity!

If you're the one who gets bullied, you're primarily responsible, and Professor Agasa is secondarily responsible!

"……call."

Conan took a deep breath, glanced at the two people in the coffee shop again, and then turned and left.

Go back and think about it carefully.

Ai Haibara glanced at Conan, who was walking away silently with his head down.

She could almost guess the detective's decision from his eyes.

Sigh, love really can influence one's brain. After being stimulated by Qi Ming, she immediately understood.

Ai Haibara withdrew her gaze and looked back at the coffee shop.

Yes, she was also provoked.

Ai Haibara put her glasses back in her pocket and took out her makeup mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she adjusted her expression slightly before taking small steps straight towards the coffee shop.

"Little friend, what's the matter...?"

The waiter standing in front of the coffee shop had his eyes on Ai Haibara as she slowly walked toward them.

At this moment, Ai Haibara's eyes were slightly red.

Her eyes were brimming with tears, as if they were about to fall at any moment, making her look pitiful.

Upon seeing this, the waiter's heart softened, and he quickly stepped forward.

She bent down and asked with concern:

"Little sister, can't you find your mom and dad? Don't be afraid, I'll help you."

Ai Haibara wiped her eyes with both hands, glanced slightly up at the waiter's kind smile, and continued walking without stopping.

However, as she passed the receptionist, Ai Haibara stopped and tilted her head slightly.

Her delicate face showed a hint of grievance and stubbornness as she spoke softly in a slightly nasal voice:

“I’m not lost, my man ran off with someone else, I’m here to catch him cheating.”

"No problem, I'll help you catch... catch, catch them cheating?!"

The waiter, who had been responding to Ai Haibara's words, suddenly froze, his smile instantly turning to silence, his mouth slightly agape.

What's going on? Did I just hallucinate or mishear?

"Um, little sister, what did you just say?"

The waiter suddenly realized that he might have agreed too hastily and was at a loss for what to do.

A lovely smile bloomed on Ai Haibara's face.

"Thank you, sister. I'll take you there."

"Um...no...you're welcome?"

The waiter felt as if he had been caught up in some terrible play.
