Chapter 96: Haibara Ai's Acting Skills
Tick, tick, tick…

High heels hit the floor, making a crisp sound. A young woman in orange clothes walked in the corridor. She looked to be in her 20s.

She was the big sister who was standing in the elevator and seeing off a group of children as they left the department store this evening. When Conan found her for the second time, she was tied up in the guard room by the robbers.

But now, she didn't know why, she untied herself and started to move.

The eldest sister walked to the stairs, frowned suddenly, noticed something strange, and shouted, "Who's there?!"

Conan stood up and kept smiling: "It's me, the big sister in the elevator."

"It's you, kid." Seeing Conan, the alertness on the elder sister's face disappeared and she smiled softly: "Why are you here?"

As she spoke, she pretended to look around and said with some concern: "It's very dangerous to stay here. There are a lot of bad guys here."

"Okay, come with me. I'll take you away from this dangerous place."

She looked at Conan with a sincere attitude, stretched out her hand, and waited for Conan to shake hands with her.

"Big sister, you don't need to pretend anymore." Conan said calmly, ignoring the other party's outstretched hand, "I already know about you."

"Perhaps, I should call you..."

At this point, Conan's eyes turned cold, sharp, and merciless: "The fifth member of the robber group."

When the elder sister heard this, her face froze, she withdrew her hand, her eyes became serious, revealing a hint of imperceptible hostility.

"Little boy, what are you talking about?"

She still wanted to quibble.

"At that time, the person who hid in the guard room and made the elevator move was you, right?" Conan's face showed a trace of confidence, and he exposed the other party's lie: "You are the only one in the guard room who knows about our existence."

"You sneaked into this department store as an elevator girl before, just for the treasure here, right, Miss Robber?"

"Who on earth are you......"

Miss Bandit took a step back and said in surprise.

"I am Edogawa Conan, a detective."

Conan pushed up his glasses, and white light reflected off the lenses.

The classic self-introduction sounded again. Miss Bandit was too lazy to continue pretending. She smiled evilly and said, "Your reasoning is very clever, but you don't know that I am the leader of this bandit group."

"My friend, times have changed!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled out a pistol from her backpack, aimed at Conan, and shot.

boom!
Conan was startled and quickly dodged, and the bullet hit the ground nearby.

Then he ran up the stairs, shouting in panic as he ran: "How despicable to use such a weapon!"

"Don't run away!"

The robber lady chased after him, firing continuously.

The two ran and chased.

Ze Yu stood on the stairs, watching Conan run past him, and the two exchanged glances.

Ze Yu poured the bucket of cooking oil he had prepared long ago onto the stairs.

The slippery cooking oil flowed down the stairs, making the entire staircase slippery. The robber lady who was chasing after them had just stepped onto the steps when she accidentally slipped down the stairs and fell heavily to the ground.

“Ouch…”

The robber lady was dazzled from the fall and couldn't react. The pistol that fell to the ground was picked up by Haibara Ai who came over.

Ayumi and the others followed behind Haibara Ai, looking at the gun in Haibara Ai's hand with curiosity.

"ended."

Huiyuan Ai looked at her and said coldly, "Damn little brat, give me back my gun!"

The robber lady yelled in anger, stood up from the ground, rushed towards Huibara Ai, trying to snatch the gun from her hand.

He's just a kid. Even if he has a gun, he's not threatening at all. Will he use it?
Stop joking, how would a kid know how to shoot a gun?
Even if the pistol is in the other person's hands, he can get it back with just a little effort.

That's what Miss Robber thought, so she rushed over without hesitation.

But she miscalculated.

Haibara Ai is not an ordinary child, she can really shoot.

There was a determined look in Haibara Ai's ice-blue pupils. She gripped the pistol tightly and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom!
The bullet flew past, grazed the robber lady's face, and hit the wall.

The gunshots ended and the scene fell silent for a moment.

The robber lady had a look of horror on her face, as if she was frightened out of her wits. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

She sat directly on the ground.

The friends next to her also had confused looks on their faces, obviously frightened by Haibara Ai's actions.

Conan and Ze Yu are not among them.

Although Conan was not scared silly, he was indeed frightened. As for Ze Yu, he didn't care about this little thing at all.

"Haihara-san..."

Ayumi reacted and looked at Haibara Ai with flashing eyes. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted.

"Don't move, we are the police!"

Several policemen rushed in, raised their guns, and shouted, "Who was shooting just now?"

Before that, Conan kicked the window glass and attracted the attention of people around him. In addition, the three big words "SOS" written on the glass, representing a distress signal, made people realize that something was wrong.

They chose to call the police, and more than ten minutes later, the police finally arrived.

The leading officer Megure came over, looked around sharply, and asked, "Who is shooting?"

Logically speaking, Miss Robber was the only adult at the scene and the most likely person to have fired the shot. However, judging from her current miserable appearance, she seemed to have been frightened by the gunshot.

She shouldn't have been the one who fired the shot.

Apart from the robber lady, there was only a group of children here. Ayumi and the other two looked frightened, and Conan was also a little dazed.

Only Sawaha and Haibara Ai remained calm. According to Inspector Megure's judgment, the person who fired the shot was most likely one of them.

"It's me." Huibara Ai raised her little hand.

Officer Megure widened his eyes, came up to her, and shouted angrily: "Why are you doing such a dangerous thing!"

"But………"

Haibara Ai seemed to be frightened by Inspector Megure's stern attitude. Tears flashed in her eyes and she looked aggrieved.

The next moment, he burst into tears.

PS: To be honest, I have been affected recently and my condition is very bad. You should all know the reason.

These days, I really have no motivation. Being able to update twice a day is the result of my best efforts.

I won’t say any more unnecessary words. I also know that everyone can’t even post this chapter now, so they can only watch silently…

The group number is in Chapter 25. If you don’t mind, you can join the group chat.
