Chapter 536: Junerik
……
Two days later, Ai Haibara had once again become familiar with her current body.
But even if she's not familiar with it, there's nothing she can do; she'll have to stay like this until this event is over.
Although Qi Ming also has props that can transform Ai Haibara into other forms, such as tables, chairs, cabinets, stones, bricks, and train engines.
However, Ai Haibara resolutely refused.
Mihua Park.
Qi Ming and Ai Haibara sat on seats at the park entrance, looking around.
Although the target did not appear, three small figures soon emerged from a bus not far away.
Ayumi Mitsuhiko Genta.
The three children had originally planned to invite Ai Haibara to go out and play together today.
However, Ai Haibara had already planned to go to Beika Park today to see what the person who sent her the letter was up to, and politely declined the offers from several people.
This then sparked even greater interest among the children.
After all, the group had already made their decision to go and help out with Ai Haibara.
"Ai asked us to meet at 4:30, and the time on the letter is also 4:00. It's 3:30 now, so the three of us will hide and wait for her to come to us!"
"Yes! Haibara's business is our business. We must get information about that guy for Haibara first!"
Ayumi and her two friends made up their minds, but it was only when they turned around and looked towards the park entrance that they saw Qi Ming and Ai Haibara sitting in front of the park.
"Hey, Brother Qi Ming, Xiao Ai, you've arrived already?"
The three of them ran up to Qi Ming and Ai Haibara and stood in front of them. Genta scratched his somewhat pointed head and asked.
"But didn't you say you'd arrive at 4:20? Why are you here so early?"
"...Let's leave aside why we came early, the question is why you came early, and what's wrong with your faces?"
Qi Ming didn't answer the question, but looked at the three children's faces strangely and asked.
Although their faces are practically invisible, since the three children are now wearing sunglasses and masks that don't quite fit their face shapes.
Genta chuckled, adjusted his sunglasses, and smiled proudly.
"Brother Qi Ming, you don't understand, do you? We're doing this to disguise ourselves!"
"After all, our plan was to come early and hide our identities, then check if the person who sent the letter had any accomplices with them. If there were many people, we would slip away and call the police; if there were few, we would go out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko straightened their chests in unison.
"..."
Ai Haibara glanced at the two of them helplessly.
Putting Genta aside for now, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko are quite smart for their age, so why did they mess things up this time?
And calling the police... is this an upgraded version of reporting to the teacher?
Ai Haibara stood up, removed Ayumi's sunglasses and mask, glanced at the passersby looking in their direction, and said calmly.
Do you really think this will make you more conspicuous?
The three of them were taken aback. They noticed that the adults around them were looking at them with a half-smile. Their childish intelligence had finally returned to the level of elementary school students.
Their faces flushed red, and they dropped their useless pretense once again.
That makes sense; their behavior seems no different from using an umbrella in broad daylight.
Seeing that the group had finally returned to normal, Ai Haibara smiled and waved to the three of them before walking into the park.
Since they want to play detective games, then let them play.
"That's settled then. Let's find a discreet place to hide and wait for that person to come."
"it is good!"
……
Mihua Park.
The group arrived at the slide and used it as a hiding place, where their small size gave them an advantage.
Hiding behind the slide, apart from Genta's body which couldn't be completely hidden, Ai Haibara, Mitsuhiko, and the other two were perfectly concealed.
Moreover, you can also see the third tree in front of the entrance from here, which is the agreed location for the letter sender.
Seeing that Genta couldn't hide his whole body no matter what he did, Mitsuhiko said helplessly to Genta.
“Genta, why don’t you take a walk in the park first? If you see anyone suspicious, let us know… And Genta, you really should lose some weight.”
"All right……"
Qi Ming looked around; naturally, he wouldn't just wait idly by the slide.
Qi Ming walked straight to the chair under the third tree in front of the park entrance and waited. Although it was not yet the time agreed in the letter, he still lay on the chair and looked at the others.
After thinking for a moment, he imitated the three children's attire, wearing sunglasses and a mask.
Now that it has been confirmed that the person was a research member who was dismissed from the organization, he must have seen me.
In order to prevent the other party from running away as soon as they see me, I have to do some disguise.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was 4 o'clock as agreed in the letter.
Qi Ming yawned.
During this waiting time, Qi Ming was unable to scan who the sender of the letter was.
When he and Ai Haibara arrived ahead of time, he had already scanned everyone around them, but there was no one suspicious.
Therefore, it can be ruled out that the person had already seen him beforehand and ran away out of fear.
"Is this guy going to stand me up?"
Qi Ming muttered a complaint to himself, and just after he spoke, light footsteps approached, followed by a childish voice suddenly sounding from beside him.
"Excuse me, big brother, could you please move aside a little?"
"Ok?"
Qi Ming turned his head and saw a child standing next to him.
It looks ordinary, but the hairstyle is quite trendy.
Her long bangs covered her right eye, and it was unclear whether that eye was blind or had been donated to someone else.
"What are you doing? There are so many seats here, why are you trying to take my seat? Do you own the park?"
Qi Ming replied irritably.
The chairs here are all three-seaters, but Qi Ming's hands are resting on the crossbars of the chairs. His long arms, typical of a physical education student, make others hesitant to sit next to him.
I don't know if she was angered by Qi Ming's rude words, or if it was for some other reason.
Upon hearing Qi Ming's voice, the boy trembled and looked Qi Ming up and down with his eyes. Qi Ming remained silent for a long time.
"This person's voice sounds so familiar."
The boy thought to himself.
Qi Ming was facing forward, but his eyes behind his sunglasses were fixed on the boy.
He felt something was off, as if he had seen this child somewhere before.
"That person looks so familiar."
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, who were secretly observing the slide, also spoke up.
Ai Haibara glanced at the two of them, then fixed her gaze on the boy next to Qi Ming.
She also felt that the face looked familiar.
After Ai Haibara carefully examined the area, she began to understand.
This boy looks like one of the researchers at the former winery.
The codename seems to be Junai, Rick?
